Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: The ultimate test

Zarafel was startled after hearing that, he couldn't believe Aurora was ranked first on the list of the most beautiful women Hastora had ever seen. It was because Aurora was the one who caused Hastora's death. Hastora should have seen her as a wicked creature, an object of revenge.

"Why is Aurora ranked first?" Zarafel asked curiously.

"I think she's very beautiful, so I put her at number one."

"Do you think she's even more beautiful than Kelara and Charlotte, who have extraordinary beauty?"

"Yes," he replied briefly.

"Did you fall in l—" Zarafel hadn't even finished his sentence direct Hastora cut him off. His eyes now looked like a sea of ​​vengeance and full of anger. Even though it was all covered by his flat expression.

"I did say she is the most beautiful woman I've ever met. But, I will never fall in love with that damn bitch. I will tear her face apart and erase her existence from this world forever," Hastora said in a calm but angry voice.

Zarafel seemed to be mistaken, he initially thought that Hastora had fallen in love with Aurora. However, after hearing his words earlier, he immediately fell silent and did not say another word about Aurora.

Charlotte seemed to have been staring at Hastora since earlier, she had been looking at him since he started sitting next to her. However, Hastora didn't seem to realize it because he was so serious when discussing Aurora.

"Damn... he's too cold. Am I not attractive enough for him?" Charlotte kept wondering in her heart. It was because Hastora hadn't even glanced at her at all since earlier. She thought that she wasn't attractive to Hastora. But, her thoughts were wrong, according to Hastora, Charlotte was slightly attractive to him. It could be seen from Hastora placing Charlotte in second place on the list of the most beautiful women he had ever seen. And also Charlotte's face looked a little like Kelara's.

Hastora seemed to realize that Charlotte had been looking at him since earlier. He didn't know why, but he started to feel a little awkward because Charlotte had been looking at him since earlier. "Why am I feeling a little awkward like this because she's been looking at me since earlier?" that's what Hastora thought at this time. "Could it be because she looks a little like Kelara?" Hastora kept wondering about it in his heart.

"Hastora, she's looking at you, come on, look back at her," Zarafel said while teasing Hastora a little.

"Shut up, I don't even want to hear those words from you."

Even though Hastora had tried to ignore her, Charlotte was still staring at him. She looked at Hastora while sitting facing forward, she had been looking at him from the side since earlier.

"What's wrong with her? I'm starting to feel awkward if she keeps staring at me like this," Hastora asked Zarafel.

"She's looking at your handsome face. You shouldn't spoil the view and just pretend you don't know, hehehe," Zarafel told Hastora about why Charlotte had been staring at him since earlier while chuckling.

"Am I really that handsome?"

"In my opinion, you are the most handsome person I've ever seen."

Hearing those words from Zarafel, Hastora felt that he was indeed handsome. Even Zarafel, who had a high standard of handsomeness, admitted that he was the most handsome person Zarafel had ever seen.

A mischievous idea began to appear in Hastora's mind. He thought that playing with Charlotte's feelings at this time was a great idea. But, this wasn't an idea to manipulate Charlotte, it was just an idea to play with Charlotte's feelings by taking advantage of his handsomeness.

"Zarafel, I think I'm thinking of something interesting."

"Oh? What is it?"

"I'm thinking of playing with Charlotte's feelings a little by showing off my cool side."

"Do you mean like teasing her by showing off your cool side right now?" Zarafel asked curiously.

"That's right," he replied briefly.

"Hohoho... this is interesting, I also want to see Charlotte's reaction when you show off your cool side. I didn't expect the great demon lord virgin to be able to think of such a wicked idea."

"Shut up, I don't even want to hear the word virgin from you."

Hastora began to put his left leg on top of his right leg while holding his hair. In his opinion, his position at this time was very cool. And sure enough, Charlotte who saw that immediately blushed like a tomato, her eyes sparkled, her heart pounded, she was very fascinated by Hastora at this time. She immediately turned her face away, her face turned crimson.

"Damn... I really want to hug him," Charlotte muttered in her heart. She felt annoyed with her situation at this time. Her heart told her to hug him tightly, while her body said no.

Seeing Charlotte's attitude now, Hastora began to feel a little happy to see her. He felt happy with his mischievous attitude. Now Charlotte's feelings were really being played with by him.

Zarafel, who saw Charlotte's condition now, laughed very hard. He found it funny with the attitude that Charlotte was showing now.

"HAHAHA! You're so evil, Hastora! Look at her now."

The desire to play with Charlotte's feelings overflowed inside him. He seemed to be starting to plan something cunning. Hastora began to make his hair look a little cool with his hands, he planned to make Charlotte see him at this time.

"Charlotte, are you okay?" Hastora asked with the intention of making Charlotte look at him.

Hearing Hastora call her name, she took a deep breath while closing her eyes to calm herself down. Feeling better, she immediately turned towards Hastora.

"!!!"

Charlotte was startled after looking towards Hastora. At this time he looked even more handsome. The fiery red eyes with black hair parted in the middle, it really made Charlotte even more fascinated. Charlotte, who could no longer stand it, immediately flicked Hastora's forehead very hard, her action just now was unintentional, her body seemed to move on its own to flick Hastora. It was because Charlotte's emotions became unstable.

"It's your own fault, Hastora!" Charlotte shouted with a little annoyance. Her voice sounded soft and charming even though she was angry.

"Aaaaaa! Look at her, Hastora! She looks really cute right now! Come on, tease her again!" Zarafel shouted with excitement. His desire to see Charlotte who was angry overflowed.

However, it seemed that Hastora no longer wanted to tease Charlotte. He sat back down like he did the first time, and began to put back on his flat and cold expression.

"Eh? You've stopped?" Zarafel asked, he was a little surprised to see Hastora suddenly stop teasing Charlotte. In his opinion, if Hastora wanted to play with Charlotte's feelings, this was a good situation.

However, after Zarafel observed everything, from Hastora himself, Charlotte, the other students, and the surrounding environment. He began to realize the reason why Hastora suddenly stopped his mischievous intentions earlier. It was because it was their turn to measure EP was near.

Hastora got up from his seat, he extended his hand to Charlotte to invite her to immediately walk back to the field.

Charlotte, even though she was still shy, she still took Hastora's arm and immediately got up from her seat.

"Let's go there, it's almost our turn," Hastora invited while walking back towards the field.

It seemed that there were some of Charlotte's friends who saw them both walking together. Charlotte's face was still red at this time, Charlotte's friends who saw that thought that Hastora was her handsome boyfriend who Charlotte had talked about earlier.

Charlotte had told them about Hastora. Charlotte's face always blushed when discussing Hastora. Her friends assumed that Charlotte must be in love with Hastora. But, they didn't want to approach them both now because they didn't want to spoil the mood.

Hastora and Charlotte arrived at the field, it seemed that there were three more students who would measure their EP before their names were called.

"Hahaha, look at him, he's so disgusting," Zarafel said while chuckling as he saw Mark, who was covered in wounds, measuring his EP.

Mark put his hand on the EP crystal. The crystal glowed and showed the number 5,000. Seeing Mark's very low EP, it made Zarafel laugh out loud.

"HAHAHA! You're a pathetic creature! You're just trash, but you're so stylish."

When measuring his EP, Mark was seen smiling slightly. He looked very arrogant and confident in his strength. And when the EP measuring crystal showed the number 5,000, he looked very happy with the results. It made Zarafel laugh out loud.

Now it was Charlotte's turn to measure her EP. She walked forward, taking a deep breath to focus and forget the moment under the tree earlier. It seemed that Charlotte was still haunted by Hastora who looked very cool under the tree earlier.

Charlotte placed her arm on the EP measuring crystal. Not long after, the EP measuring crystal glowed and showed the number 8,000, which was the highest number at this time. Everyone who saw it immediately fell silent and did not say anything. They all started to sweat because they were surprised by Charlotte's EP. "Why are they all surprised? EP doesn't determine fighting ability and someone's victory in a fight, what a pathetic creature," that's what Hastora thought at this time about their reaction.

And now, last but not least, it was Hastora's turn. He walked towards the crystal with both arms tucked into his pants pockets.

"I hope the results are satisfactory, Hastora," Charlotte said with a warm smile while encouraging Hastora.

Hastora placed his arm on the EP measuring crystal. The crystal glowed and showed the number 20,000. Everyone who saw it shouted as if they couldn't believe the results. It was the highest number in the history of the test exam. The principal also seemed surprised by the results. However, he regained consciousness and told all the students that this was just EP. The other students began to calm down, they finally realized that it was just EP, it would not determine victory in a battle.

The principal began to place a black pole in the field. He told the students to attack the pole using their magic.

Even though it had been attacked many times, the pole didn't even get a scratch and didn't move an inch. It seemed that the pole was able to withstand strong magic. Even Charlotte's magic couldn't make it move a bit.

Finally, it was Hastora's turn. Hastora knew that the pole was familiar with strong magic to a certain extent, but with his strength that had only recovered a little after reincarnating, he was not yet able to destroy the pole. He could destroy the pole, even this entire academy, with his destructive magic. However, his current strength was not enough to use it.

Hastora decided to use to absorb the pole using a black hole.

<𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗩𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝘅>

A black hole was thrown at the pole. The pole immediately entered it without any obstacles. Everyone was surprised by the magic that Hastora had just used. They thought that Hastora's way of destroying the pole was very unique. The principal, who saw this, smiled slightly, he began to be interested in Hastora. However, this was still a test exam, he would try to find out more about Hastora when he had actually entered the academy again later.

"Great, your way of destroying the pole is very unique. However, the real test has just begun," said the principal while activating the 𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲 using his spatial magic.

"Alright, make a team. One team consists of two people, no more than that," said the principal firmly.

Hastora seemed to want to do this test alone. However, it seemed that the principal would not allow it. Suddenly, Charlotte pulled Hastora's clothes slightly from behind with the intention of calling him.

Hastora immediately turned around, Charlotte was seen standing behind him.

"Let's be a team," Charlotte invited, she offered to be a team with Hastora. But, Charlotte's real goal wasn't that. According to her, making a team with Hastora would be an opportunity for her to be alone with Hastora.

Initially Hastora seemed to want to refuse her invitation. However, after thinking about it again, he could move freely if he was on the same team as Charlotte. It was because Charlotte didn't seem to want to stop Hastora from moving freely, in fact, Charlotte might even agree with him. It could be seen from Charlotte's attitude who immediately followed Hastora to sit under the tree while waiting for the others to finish measuring their EP. She didn't reprimand Hastora at all even though what Hastora did earlier was slightly against the principal's order to have his students gather in the field.

"Alright," Hastora accepted Charlotte's invitation briefly.

"Everyone, the final test exam begins!" the principal shouted firmly.

"Let's go inside the 𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲, Hastora."

"Alright."
