Novel Full Chapter 78 - Examination
"RAA… BVAA… ALGULL… [It's time for civilization to become a sacrifice]" replied the thick miasma.
"HMMHUUUMMM…. [O Young One, you are too impatient. It is not the right time for us to move.]" replied one of the distortion space.
"RUFF... TRAA… FURS… [The Civilization Society is divided unlike before. Help me and I will fulfil our task] said the thick miasma.
"KYAA KYYAAA… [Even if they are divided, one does not simply destroy the Civilization Society. Many have already tried yet they fail. What makes you so different from others?]." Commented one of the Monster Overlords.
"FAR…. STUMM... [I have this]." said the thick miasma while showing a black orb towards the other.
"GRRTTRRTT…. [Artifact? No, it is made of pure miasma.]" replied one of the Monster Overlords.
"FUR… STUMM.. AMUM.. YOL.. VADA… [This is no ordinary artifact. With this, we will have an endless army. The fallen one will rise.]" said the thick miasma while showing a glimpse of vision towards other monster overlords.
"ROOARR…GRR… ROAARR [Such a dreadful item. It should be not without repercussion. None of it matters to me, I will lend you my army. Don't bother me again before you prove us that you are different from others.]" said one of the monster overlords before its distortion space engulfed in fire and gone.
"HUUMMHH… HUMMMHH…. [As usual, such a temper. But, he is right. We will only lend you our army like the others. Proof us that you could lead us by leading this army. Don't disappoint us, young one.]" said one of the monsters overlord before its distortion space disappeared.
After that the other distortion spaces are also gone, leaving the thick dark miasma alone with the dark orb.
"RUFR.. FAR… RUFR.. FAG… AVIN… [I will… I will show all of you that I am different from all of you. I will lead all of you to fulfil our great task.]" roar the thick miasma towards the surrounding like declaring his will towards the world.
Unbeknown to civilian society, they will face a monster overlord's attack that they have never experienced before.
Half a year has passed by since then. During this time, there is no sign of huge activity or movement from the Dark Forest. But, all the kingdom nearby knows that it is calm before the storm.
Still, no one is daring enough to venture inside the Dark Forest. Although there is no sign of activity, the outer area of the Dark Forest is still occupied by hordes of various kinds of monsters.
Sometimes people wonder where all of this monster comes from. Considering that not long ago they already launched countless waves of monster attacks, but still have countless monsters.
However, this is quite logical since the Dark Forest itself is half the size of all Civilian Society combined.
Just by this fact alone and combined with the fast reproduction of monsters it is not wrong that millions of monsters reside in the Dark Forest.
Under normal conditions, monster reproduction ability is the same as a normal beast or animal. However, inside the thick miasma place like Dark Forest, the monster reproduction ability is faster by a few times.
Some monsters could even birth dozens of younglings at once. Moreover, their growth also enhanced. If it is not because of their nature to fight one with each other, the monster will already overpopulate the Firuman.
However, under the command and leadership of Monster Overlord, this infighting is stopped. Like a law, every monster below grade six will always obey the Monster Overlord. It is something that is already ingrained in their nature.
While the world falls into a tense situation where war could erupt every moment, Angus inside the Royal academy is having a Magician Class examination.
After the fourth year inside the Royal Academy, students are qualified to go into a specialized class where they will be divided into the Warrior Class, Magician Class, and Hybrid Class.
Before they enter their chosen specialized class, they will be tested. If the student fails their chosen class, they will be tested for another class. If they fail all of them, they need to repeat the year for having a test next year.
However, all the students in the Royal Academy are either talented or have a huge background. They will choose to drop out to change to another academy rather than repeating another year.
it could be said that if students fail all three class tests, they will be dropped out to change into another academy. Because of this, many students are very nervous about this specialization test.
The test consists of two parts, the academic test and the practical test. For the Magician Class, the academic class could be said to be the hardest. The student needs to be proficient in science physic, arithmancy, magical runes, and world language at an advanced level.
Many students fail hard because they couldn't score enough in these subjects. In academic courses, all these subjects could be said as the hardest subject among the others.
Fortunately, Angus intelligence is already high enough to even give him sort of short term strong memory. Using his enhanced intelligence, he could easily pass the test with flying colour.
Still, like usual, he made some mistakes in his answer during the test to not get a perfect score and attract some commotion. So, he will get a good score but not a perfect score.
Despite that, he still got the score second only to Jayna. Although Jayna chose Hybrid Class, she also needs to be tested in academic subjects. In a Hybrid class test, they need to be proficient in all subjects at the beginner level.
If it is not because Angus is famous for being weak, he may already rank in the top ten or more based on his academic score. Still, because of his score on the test, Angus also has not ranked last anymore since a few years ago.
Now, Angus is waiting for his turn to be tested in the practical exam of Magician Class. From the rumour he picks up among the students, the practical exam is different from one student to another.
Be it Warrior Class, Magician Class, or Hybrid Class all of them have different tests according to the student. As Royal Academy is famous for producing quality over quantity, they always conduct their practical exam this way to ensure their student quality.
If the student is not lucky enough, they will need to fight against the teacher. Of course, the teacher will only defend themself while using a low powered attack to disturb the student. Then, the student will be scored based on their performance.
Now, Angus is quite nervous not because of the examination but because he is afraid to fight against the teacher. Despite his perfect control over his body, he is still afraid that his cover is blown.
After waiting for a while, Angus got called inside the examination room. As he enters the examination that is similar to Balrug's basement room, he sees a teacher inside the room.
"Good day, Angus Victory, right?" asked the teacher while holding some document in his hand.
"Yes, sir." replied Angus shortly.
"Don't be too nervous. This is just a small exam. Hmm… It seems you have a good score on the academic course." said the teacher while read at his document
"Y-Yes, sir." Angus started to have a bad feeling about this.
Looking at Angus's expression, "Hahaha… Don't worry too much about it. Your test just has to hit some dummy target." said the teacher to ease Angus worry.
Hearing this Angus immediately feeling relief. As long as it is not fighting against the teacher any kind of test is fine.
"Judging by your relief expression, you must be afraid of the test is fighting against me. Well, that rumour is baseless, but only special students will need to fight against teachers." explain to the teacher while he set up the dummy with different distances.
Then, the teacher explained that Angus needed to hit all the dummy to pass the test using any kind of spell. Before Angus could start casting a spell, a person came into the examination room.
"Pardon my intrusion. I have not disturbed the test, right?" said the headmaster Antonio.
"Headmaster, No we have not started yet. What brought you here?" asked the teacher respectfully.
"Oh, Gustav you got an emergency call from one of your clients." said the headmaster.
"Client? Which one?" asked teacher Gustav curiously.
"I don't know the details but he said he is from Fusca city without giving his name." explain the headmaster.
"Fusca city?! Err…." as teacher Gustav looked at Angus.
"It seems something important is coming up. How about this, you could leave the examination to me while you tend your business." as the headmaster gave his suggestion.
"Really… Then, thank you very much, Headmaster. I will repay you later." replied teacher Gustav while going out of the examination room.
"Sorry for this, young man. I hope this will not trouble you" said the headmaster to Angus.
"N-No problem, headmaster." replied Angus
'Damn it. Why does it suddenly change into the headmaster?' Curse Angus inwardly.
"Don't be nervous, young man. Just pretend I am a normal examiner. Now, let's see here. Dummies targets. Alright, young man, you can start anytime you want." said the headmaster.
