Chapter 82: Chapter 82 Entrance Exam Part 02.

As Soma and Hina leave the building, They are welcomed by the mellow rays from the sunlight that pierced their retina, making them close their eyes. Because of the earlier event where the two of them were too focused, staring closely at a piece of paper making their eyes tired.

The calm wind that swept past their skin cooled their tensed body and refreshed their mind. Soma inhaled a deep breath to relax his nerves by spreading much oxygen through his body.

"Congratulations to all candidates who passed the first exam. Today, you will be performing your next exam. Please follow me to the stadium".

A man in his late teens wearing the academy uniform, which consists of a black blazer and white shirt, starts to lead the candidates to another place where the second exam will be held. The group began to move, with the rising tension in the surrounding area. There are no single words uttered by the candidates as they keep their mouths shut and follow the man behind.

They strode on the vast land for about ten minutes before they stood in front of a massive circle building with a dome shape awaiting their presence. The building looks strong as it was built with the same material as the wall that was erected outside, surrounding the academy.

"We are here. Candidates, please enter inside".

The huge steel twin door on the front building twitched before it slid to the side, raising the anticipation of the candidates who were curious about the interior of the massive building. The door erected a white vapor mist, giving a dramatic entrance, and a gust of wind appeared to make the tension rise.

"Welcome to the stadium, and please enter for the exam that will be held at any moment".

After being urged by the seniors, one after another, the candidates enter the facility, and once inside, their mouth is opened as they marvel at the interior of the building.

The interior of the building was so vast that it could contain a massive white marble arena that stretched far away to every corner. A line was plastered on top of the arena which consists as big as a football field, lining up in rows. In each field, there are many tools for measurement that feel alien in Soma's eyes. But he could guess it if he tried to connect it with the memories from the novel.

"Greeting candidates, congratulations on passing your first exam…".

A stern man with short blonde hair and a bulky appearance, wearing tight clothes that showed his thick muscles and long army pants with a pair of black boots, welcomed them. The man was 190 cm in height, he had those sharp eyes and stern face exuding a scary aura, that made many students feel anxious and not daring to met eyes with him.

"..Now, you will be tested in three aspects. First is your strength, which will be held on the field there. The second is magic. I want to see how your mana pool and your magic element are, and lastly, your skill, practical, you will be engaging in a battle with me or seniors that await in another place".

A gasp escaped many candidates as the man in front said the third test with rough and hoarse voice. Every candidate swallows their saliva, seeing the figure of the teacher. Some of them had already gushed a bucket of sweat, seeing the stern face of the teacher. Many of them prayed in their heart that they wouldn't face him in a practical battle.

The teacher who was in the candidate's mind, not knowing this fact, led the stunned candidates to one of the fields that the academy had prepared for. The floor in the building was so vast, like some arena in the coliseum, but now it was being divided by a white line for the easy assignment the candidates would have.

Arriving at one of the fields, the teacher took out his terminal tab before scanning the display and opening his mouth.

"Okay, without further a do, let's start. There are so many of you who passed the first test, so let us begin. Everyone who feels it was their number step forward . No 2,3,6,8, and 9 steps forward".

Upon mentioning the number, as the teacher said, five students stepped forward. They approached the measurement tools that stood on the fields. On the field stood five tools that resembled a punching machine that stood on its four legs, strengthened with a steel structure with a monitor that stood on top.

It has a protruding pole that is so thick it could endure the attack from a Rank-A monster, for it was made from enhanced material. From the tips of the pole, there is a round-shaped cushion made from monster leather. Inside was contained a smooth and strong damper to absorb every impact that will be received by the tools.

"You guys just need to punch the machine tool that we prepared off. Don't worry, just go all out".

"Yes".

As per the teacher's instruction, the five candidates, which consisted of four men and one woman, stood up in front of the machine.

"..You ready? Almost forgot, no magic allowed in here. You are only allowed to use your physical strength. Now begin".

The five students began their attack on the cushion, struck their fists with each unique roar they had. On the monitor above the machine, it displayed a variety of numbers ranging from 4 to 7.

"Hmm, Okay. Next 11,12,13…".

Looking at the result, the teacher began to tinker with the terminal before calling the other candidates. The display on the monitor still did not show a number far higher than nine as the biggest number that had been recorded today.

"Next 76, 77,80, 83, 85 steps forward".

As the following number is being spoken of, Soma's body twitched, for he saw the familiar face upon the group. From the number of orders, she was the last, which meant she was the no 85.

"Begin!".

The four students simultaneously struck the cushion and displayed the same number that ranged from a scale of 1 to 9. The silver-haired woman still stood there staring blankly at the other candidates. Then she turned her blank gaze at the punching machine before she retracted her fist backwards, lowering her stance.

Then she inhaled a couple of breaths, sharpening her mind before she clenched her fist tight and thrust it forward.

A loud bam that echoed in the room from the damper, shocking the other spectators who saw the results. The girl in question wiped her forehead, which didn't seem to be wet by sweat, while breathing a sigh of relief, feeling satisfied by the result that showed on the monitor.

"Twenty, good".

As the words from the teacher reach the other candidates, they gasp their mouths open, seeing the highest number that has been broken from earlier. The girl in question returned to her normal state, blank face, then came out from the field.

"Next, 89, 92, 93, 94 99".

Another batch had been called, Soma opened his eyes wide to see that the four people he witnessed this morning had completed their exam successfully. Earlier was the silver-haired girl, and now the other three currently stood in front of the machine to measure their strength.

Soma, who saw four of the characters that will affect the story in the future, felt his heartthrob in anticipation while also curious about just how strong their current strength is.

"Begin!".
