"argh.... My head...."
Still walking like a drunken man, he stopped for a few moments and lay his shoulder on a wall. He relaxed his mind and then focus his vision to get the sleepy thoughts out of his head.
"Phew..... Alright..... Let's just go to the nearest classroom." He says.
He go to the nest floor where he sees a lot of classrooms left and right, he enter the room that was the very nearest which is just a dew feet away from him and then entered.
Creak!
The moment he enters, all the eyes and attentions go straight to him. It felt like he was getting stabbed by their sight but Yuri's expressionless face didn't even bother to have shown any expression.
He walked to the very top or to the very last row and then sit there. Every step he takes, every movements he make, he took the attention of every single person inside this classroom.
"That guy had no manners....!"
"How dare he became so late!"
"Oh no..... That guy is gonna be a playthings for the nobles...."
He heard a murmurs and coming from the students. Most of it was just insulting him and saying that he had no manners and his guts is too big while the others is pitying him because the nobles might use their fame to harass him.
Yuri, being the nonchalant guy he is, just continue to walk to the very top of the seats here and then just sit down as if he can't hear every single murmurs inside the room. It's as if he doesn't care at all.
'ahh..... Too tired....' he thought.
He almost fell asleep but then suddenly, felt an intimidating aura coming from the very front of this room. The aura is dark, this kind of feeling is new to him because the amount of Mana this guy has!
'he is strong!'
That is the only way to describe the guy that let his aura out and directly focus it at the very last student that enter this classroom.
Yuri is nervous, he just didn't let show it. Inside his head, he can felt the difference between him and the person that just let his aura out.
They didn't fight yet but he can feel the overwhelming difference between them, compared to this guy, he still has a long way to go. A thing he is ready to accomplish just to kill somebody that is more stronger than him!
"Would you mind telling me why were you late?" The guy said, it was the very same guy that first talked during the opening ceremony but because Yuri fell asleep without even the event starting, he completely left our all of the person that talked.
"..."
He didn't speak, he didn't even bother to do so because the reason he currently has is pretty sure gonna put him in a lot of trouble instead of even saving him from the Eternal Scolding, the most unlikeable punishment you will ever get.
I mean who likes to be scold?
"Sigh..... Our time is limited since we only have 2 hours. I'm gonna explain the mechanics of the exam once again."
"This exam consists of basic knowledge about magics, history and some of the personal informations about you."
"Don't worry, the question about the personal information is not that deep. We respect privacy, it is just a simple questions like names, age or hobbies."
"The exam has 100 questions, some of it are not very difficult or can just be answer because it was basic knowledge and some of it are very difficult or even impossible to answer if you didn't really study. Knowledge is important."
"You test scores is gonna determine what class are you gonna be put into. I wish you the best of luck!" He ended his explanation.
You can hear all of the papers folding and the murmurs of the students. Some of them are wondering what is the answers to the other questions, the others are just trying to looked at all of the other questions from the other pages.
Then there's Yuri, a guy who doesn't know a single answer from this exam yet still remains expressionless. He just sit there, holding his pen while his other hand was on his chin.
'hmm.... The first three questions are definitely hard. Let's see the end....'
He looked at the very last question, the number 100.
Write your opinion on how to make your Mana more stronger.
'hmm....'
Thinking deeply about it, the answers that entered his mind is very simple. Finding more way about something is hard when there are ways to make things more easier created by other people.
'let's just write...'
He duo his dip pen on an ink and then positioned it as the way to write something. He started to write on the paper with his answer being:
Countless battles. Trying to increase or make your mana stronger while your life is at stake is the best option not only to make your mana stronger, but also to make your body more durable, agile and powerful. You can also gain experience and knowledge in a battle, maybe even create another techniques or ways to expand the history of mana.
The answer he wrote is not from a book, but from his own experience and ability.
The answer countless battles is just his very way to make his body more powerful and his mana increase more in a very fast rate because of his ability.
The more he killed an opponent that is more stronger than him, not as strong as him or just strong but stronger than him.
He also needed his sword to be covered in blood or atleast kill his opponent with a sword, nothing else. If he didn't, the percentage he will get is zero.
But it still gained him something, the increase in his physical body that make him more stronger, his mana is increasing more and he gained a lot of experience.
The ability: Sword Demon
Only increases the Mana Percentage Collection which increase the percentage or adding more extra mana for him. Not increasing his very own mana.
For example:
His Mana is currently 1000.
The percentage he currently has is 100%, that means that it will only add 100% more to his mana.
The first extra 100% will be the one to be used when he activates his ability, to be able to completely use all of the extra and then use his very own Mana.
'the others was just normal subjects such as Maths, physics etc..... I'm too tired to answer those. Let's just answer the ones that looks like it'll fetch me a good grades.'
He continues to answer more questions related about mana and about battle strategy.
Until...
Ringggggggggggg~~~~!
"Alright, times up. Please pass all of the paper here and enjoy your day! The introduction will start Tommorow since that's the time that you will be assigned to your classes."
Some of the students looks so stressed when they were passing they're papers and some of them even looks hesitant to give their test paper to the professor.
He can hear them talking about something or just really about the exam.
"Did you managed to finished all of it?"
"I barely even answer half of it because it was hard as hell!"
"Scores is just a number.... It will not determine my future!"
"Dude, the class you will be assigned on will be based on your score!"
"Im doomed!"
"My mom will kill me....."
That is just some of the taking he hears from them, the amount of as if crying and nervousness and at the same time, curiousity and excitement filled this whole place.
Meanwhile.....
'i only managed to answer 5 questions.....'
Yuri, only managed to answer 5 questions. Because after answering one question, he will take a nap and then whenever he woke up he will answer one again.
'sigh..... Low class it is.....'
He already accepted his fate that he will go to the lowest class in the entire academy, the Low Class.
I mean who would expect themselves to be put in the highest class when the amount of questions you just answered is not even close to the 10% of the whole test.
Hell it's not even 6%.
"Sigh.... Might as well train...." He said as he was about to walk out of the academy.....
"Hey! Wait up!"
He heard a familiar voice coming from behind him. It was a voice of a girl, a pleasant voice for sure.
'who?'
***
On the room of the professor that monitored the classroom where Yuri was into, his name was Dylan Puresteel.
He was checking the paperwork of the students that he monitored, he managef to hide the disappointment he felt from the other students.
"Some of they're answers are not even related to the questions!"
He just kept on looking at the papers until he finally come with the very last paper, the guy who passed this paper is the very same student that was last to enter a classroom and also the very last student to pass his test paper.
'he only managed to answer five questions? He just skipped a lot of questions! This student..... He really has no manners.....'
Even though he was kind of disappointed to they're answers, he still read to them to honor the hardwork the students is giving. He still wants them to have an inspiration.
As he reads his answers.....
"These.....!!"
The door on his office suddenly has a few knocks he can hear and then just open withiut even his permission.
"Who is it--"
It was a women, she has a white hair and some of strands of her hair was blossom like colours. Her eyes closed as she walked inside the room. She has a big smile on her face.
"President!"
