Chapter 410 - Taking The Trial
Now in front of him was the people he very much would like to avoid. They were the same group of people that had disturbed his practice previously when he was trying to reach the Initial Mortal Stage.
The group of five people walked forwards, and as they walked, the other students quickly gave way for them to pass through meanwhile, they folded their hands and greeted.
"Greetings Head servant."
The fat lady waved her hands at them as she walked forwards, stopping before David.
David coldly glanced at tbe group of people but then turned his attention towards the large staircase.
"Are you blind that you cannot see the head servant standing before you?" One of her lackeys shouted in anger, spitting out saliva from his mouth.
David frowned and then a formless barrier formed before him, preventing the spit from touching him.
Seeing this, the eyes of the five group of people changed as though they had seen something astonishing.
Lady Quin's eyes flickered and a series of thought flashed through her mind. "Hehehe"
She coverrd her mouth and laughed as she said. "So you seem to have advanced to the Initial Mortal Stage, seems you are quite talented. But even then, you are still too weak to disrespect me in that way." her voice turned cold as her cheeks jiggled.
David couldn't help but roll his eyes. "What do you want?"
The head servant chuckled but then went straight to the point. "Three days have passed but you still haven't completed your task, I'm here to inform you to follow me back to the punishment Hall to receive your punishment." finally, she stated the reason for coming here.
"Im afraid I can not follow you back." David replied nonchalantly.
Lady Quin's face darkened as she asked. "And what is your reason for that?"
"According to the rules, I've prepared my self to take the trial, which meant theat unless I pass the trial, there shouldn't be any form of disturbance whatsoever." David smirked as he finished his remark.
The five people's face changed and they couldn't hold it longer as they shouted. "Impudent!"
"How many days have you been in this academy and you dare quibble with the head servant about rules you know nothing about!"
"If you know what is good for you, you will do as Lady Qinn says and follow us back to the punishment hall without hesitation!" another servant pointed and shouted at David, red faced.
David snorted. "Idiots!" and with that, he didn't pay them any more mind and focused his attention on the trial that was going on. He needed to prepare himself for the trial he was about to undertake.
"Y-you!" Seeing as David insulted them and then proceeded to ignore them, the four lackeys immediately activated their brainwaves, exacting an intense amount of pressure in the surrounding area.
The spectating servants that were there immediately felt the pressure that was likea a huge boulder in their brain. Their faces changed and they Immediately retreated backwards without hesitation, so as not to be a collateral damage in the fight that was about to happen.
As the pressure formed, lady Qinn instantly raised her fat hands, and just like that, the pressure waves faded as though it wasn't there in the beginning.
As for the lackeys, their faces were full of hesitation but they still didn't dare to disobey her order and seized tbe pressure they were actively weighing in David.
Seeing this, David snorted with a slight chuckle and ignored them.
"Lady Quinn, let me challenge him to a Duel and teach this brag a lesson", one of them said in anger, glaring at David as though he was his lifetime enemy.
Never had they expected a servant that had just arrived a week in the academy would have the guts to disrespect them as such, they couldn't help but shiver in anger while their faces turned red trying to hold in their rage.
"Lweave him be. He is right, let him go for the trial. Its his first time anyways, the probability of him passing the trial the first time is zero to non, there's no need to be impatient since he will come back to the hostel anyways." Lady Quin's eyes flashed in a malicious manner and she appeared rather smart and calculative at that moment.
This words immediately calmed the lackeys as they thought about it. "As always, the leader is smart."
"The leader is wise and far thinking, I admit my fault." her lackeys apologied for their lack in insight as they smiled, watching David as he walked gracefully back to the line of servants that were attempting the trial.
Half a day passed by and during that moment, several servants had failed the trial regretfully while only two people had passed so far, leaving the status of students behind to become a real student of the institute.
David inhaled deeply and he knew that this trial doesn't test one based on hie physical or genetically strong ijne was but on hie strong and developed one's brainwave was.
The more sturdy your foundation was, the easier it was to pass the trial which meant only those with stronger foundation would easily be able to ascend through the stairs and be the cart that leap past the dragon gate
After another two days had passed, it was finally David's batch turn. They were fifteen in their batch and they were all asked asked to carefully walk forwards by an old man who seen to be the invigilator.
Throughout the entire time, David hadn't even noticed his presence. It was only when he spoke to them that David finalmy noticed the old man's presence with slight shock.
The man wasn't emitting a single energy wave, David could only use his brainwave to probe but he didn't dare to do so as that was the same as touching someone with their hands.
He had read the guide carefully and knew that it was rude to probe someone without their permission with brain wave unless the person is weaker than you, then your brainwave would become hard to detect by tbe other person.
"You may start the trial now." The old man said in an hoarse voice, indifferently.
David and the others nodded their heads but they weren't in a hurry to move forwards yet. Preparing themselves mentally.
David took in a deep breathe and exhaled a mouthful of air. And with that, he took a step forwards towards the first stairs.
"Boom!"
David's mind rumbled and his eyes squinted as he felt an immense pressure descend upon his brain. If the pressure was on his body, then he wouldn't even have noticed such a pressure but that pressure was acting upon his brain, weigh down on it as though wnsting to crush it into pieces.
But the wave wasn't really bad and David didn't find it very difficult. With that, he made another step forwards.
In that same moment, the pressure intensified by almost two times, weighing down in his head like a huge boulder. It was as though there was literally a huge boulder tied to his brain, giving him discomfort and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
But after a couple of moments, he seem to have gotten used to it as he raised his legs up and then took his third step forward.
"Bang!"
An explosion resounded in his brain and David felt his body wobbling left and right as though he was about to fall.
Gritting his teeth, David endured through the pain and the pleasure, trying his best to get through the insurmountable pressure weighing down directly on his brain.
After an unknown period of time, he seem to have gotten a little but used to the pressure and then he proceeded to take his fourth step.
Out in the crowds, the spectating servants were quite surprised as they saw David's batch walking up the stairs so quickly.
"That red haired lady is quite impressive. In just three hours, she had reached the fifth step. There is a possibility she might pass the trial this time."
"Yes, you might be right, but then look at that blue eyed guy at the corner of the stairs. He is rushing through the stairs as though he is walking on ordinary land. This is insane. He might actually be able to pass before the next three days come to an end."
"Hmm, I heard one of the lectures wanted to take him in as a disciple but he rejected, saying he wanted to start from the beginning, this alone shows his strong will power to prove himself." another stated as he pointed at a young man who had also reached the fifth stairs, taking a step forwards to reach the sixth.
But it was seems that single step was so much harder to take as he had been there for a few hours.
As for David, no one really took much notice to him as his pace wasn't all that impressive he could be considered average at best with the pace he was walking.
