Rahz was extremely impressed with his new goggles but after looking at Giant blade through the Lens and getting a report on his Biometrics as well, he opted to remove them.
"I am sorry headmaster but I can't wear this goggles"
"What's wrong kid, do they make your head hurt that is something temporary and according to the experiments it goes away with time".
Rahz expression was priceless, it was between confused and a little bit of panic but then he explain. "Nothing like that headmaster but seeing the Data of other people and knowing mine, makes me feel that I am losing something and I always like meeting an opponent using my instincts and fighting with everything I got whether it is weaker or stronger. The goggles I think would take that away. I am sorry"
The Headmaster didn't know what to say but he understood what Rahz was getting at, so he took the artifact and twick a bunch of runes and gave them back, "try them on, if you want the feature back just let me know".
Rahz look at his new headmaster and saw that there was no information about his biometrics any more but all the other goodies were still there.
"Thank you"
Giant Blade nodded and took everyone to their new accomodations and explain that there was one test left for Rahz to take and that the reason why the recruitment ceremony was done every 5 years was thanks to the Room opening in that time frame. The test could only be taken by Level 19's of certain fighting spirit, everyone else that took it came out mentally crush unable to talk or even move.
Rahz was interested right away and asked, "When can I go check it out?"
"The test takes place in 5 days and you should prepare yourself mentally, there is nothing allowed in the room so don't worry about taking in anything".
"In the meantime make yourself at home as this would be your room for the next five years or more, after the Second Evolution Ceremony the only way for you to leave is to be Level 25 or more and to have created a technique of your own and that is why they call me Giant Blade".
Rahz thought about what was said and got really excited, Lord Darick had said the same thing to him before about not being limited by the template all the classes offered, the really strong always had skills that nobody else used.
"What was it that he said?" Rahz pondered to himself.
"That's right he said that everything comes from Runic Energy, before anybody picks a class during their first evolution all the Rune allows them to use is Runic Energy. My Helgahvall teacher used to say that no energy was stronger than the other due to the same principle which was that all energy fighters use came from the Realm of Elysian".
Rahz was on to something but he couldn't force it, it had to come on his on. There were 5 days before the test took place and by the second day he felt that he was just too coop up in his room, It was time to mingle with the locals and maybe get some inspiration. Rahz walked out of his room and wandered around the temple and out of the corner of his eye he spotted Jazz and Giant Blade sipping on a cocktail while whispering to each other about two female Demons that were sparring in the pit. There was one that was extremely sporty and the other that look pretty refined but they were both giving it their all.
Rahz snoke up on them and said " What are you guys up to? Those fighters are pretty good right?"
Jazz sneered but Giant Blade was a veteran so he gave and evil smile and said "We are testing one of the functions of the goggles, do you know what ecchi means?".
"Nope, is it cool?"
"Of course it is, I can represent the entire male gnome population and state that is the best feature in the whole artifact. In fact without the X-ray vision, the value would be only 1 million gold or so".
Woah..that is quite a feature.
Jazz was just laughing his ass up on the side, as he was imagining Rahz's reaction after he used it. Giant Blade said, "You want a drink? This is good stuff, I stole it from an Erudite 100 years ago, he was a nerd always talking some weird shit about enchanting but he could brew some classy drinks".
Rahz looked at the cup being offered and for the first time said why not and obviously they needed one for Midori, Hennessy carried her own cup for occasions like this. Rahz took the cup and made himself comfortable while he said to Giant Blade, "So how do I activate the feature"
"There is a wheel on the right side of the device just turn the dial and adjust to the desire setting and then look at the girls fighting in the arena.. If you see skeletons then you have gone to far and you need to turn the dial back a little".
Rahz took a sip of his drink and found out that he didn't hate it and as it went down his throat he felt his worries ease up a little and then he reach for the Dial and turned it little by little while looking at the females.
Pssh… Rahz drink was spilled like a fountain and it caught the attention of other fighters waiting for their turn to use the arena.
"Relax kid, be cool … be cool no need to make a fuzz just enjoy the view"
Rahz was inexperience in this sort of thing but would a young man really let the opportunity to see a pair of nice perky breast go, not in a million years.
Giant Blade smiled and said, "Which do you like the best, sporty or scholar"
"Scholar"
Agreed
Agreed
It was unanimous, Rahz kept moving the dial trying to see all the functions of the Ecchi mode when his face flush red and blood almost spurted out of his nose.
Jazz laughed, "I guess is your first time seeing a naked female, welcome to manhood Rahz"
Cheers… Three Glasses were brought together in celebration as Midori and Henessy just shook their heads. For the next three days it was the activity of choice for the three of them and it was a nice way to take his mind of the upcoming test.
The fifth day Rahz stayed in his room meditating getting his mind in the right state until Giant Blade came to get him. Both of them made their way towards the stairs that headed down to a sort of basement. The moment they made it to the bottom of the stairs, the landscape completely change into a neon color cave.
The four Headmasters and five disciples continue walking until they reached a magic curtain that was defying gravity by flowing upward.
"The moment you step through the screen, the trial will begin so do your best to comeback with all your faculties intact. Who knows maybe the new master of Apocalypse is among you...so give it your best".
The five disciples step through the curtain one by one and were not longer seen by the headmasters standing outside.
"Do you think Rahz could do it?"
"He is the strongest Disciple we have had in 1000 years, so maybe he can achieve the impossible".
Rahz stepped in and didn't see anybody else in the zone passed the magic curtain, all he saw was a magic circle and in the middle there was a weapon made out of the highest Level of Chaos Fire or so Rahz thought. It was a green so dark that was almost black but it still manage to illuminate the room perfectly. The weapon change from a 2h Sword, to a Bow, to two 1h axes with spikes all over, to a 2 Handed Club, the list went on and on. Rahz step into the Magic Circle an it immediately change into a 2h handed Axe that had a Bone looking handle and the skull of a Demon in the middle where the double head of the axe joined together. One of the heads was a lot longer than the other and it end up in a spike but the whole thing look like it was made out of bone. Inside the opened mouth of the demon skull there was green energy that fed all the runes on the weapon.
Rahz came to the center of the Magic circle and placed his hand on the handle that felt scorching hot and then everything went dark and he felt a little dizzy. Rahz woke up in a hurry and when he did, he was back in helgahvall forest in the body of his 5 year old self.
