Putting aside his study of these skills, for now, Zio took a quick bath and made his way towards the academy once again, if he passes the entrance test today he will become a student at the academy.
He got out of his room and walked down to see the girl serving behind the counter, seeing Zio, she smiled at him and asked if he wants anything to eat.
Since he is hungry he asked for his breakfast, he has already paid for it so why not eat everything till he gets into the academy, once he becomes the student of the academy, who knows if he will get any time to enjoy his life.
He heard that academy is hard, there are studies, then there are missions that need to be completed every month, the four years of the academy will be a shit load.
Zio didn't know if joining the academy was a good idea, it was Asura who told him to do so, join the academy and learn before heading out to the outside world and experiencing it properly.
After having his breakfast, he headed to the academy.
___________________________
Zio arrived outside the academy and noticed a lot of new students entering the academy, even with the first stage of screening, there are still more than a thousand students entering the academy.
Each and every one of them is holding a card in their hand and presenting it to the old man at the entrance of the academy.
The old man checked each and every card carefully as he can not allow anyone to get away with a fake one or he will be punished.
It was Zio's turn, he presented his card and was granted entry soon after the old man checked the validity of the card, once he confirmed that the card is legit and was granted by the academy, he let Zio in.
He also glanced at Zio with great interest because he is one of the outstanding students that will take admission this year in the academy.
___________________________
Zio walked in and found a lot of students sitting on chairs placed inside the massive open field, some were just sitting on their chairs nervously shaking their legs while others were introducing themselves to each other and quickly making friends.
If they pass the entrance exam they can stick together and be at ease at the first day of their academy, one of the biggest problems a new student faced while starting in the academy is to make friends.
Sometimes some people are not great at interacting with others and would end up all alone with no friends and then will be treated as an outcast.
But when it comes to Zio, things are a little different, he didn't find it hard to talk to people at all, he was just ignorant of them. Since he didn't live in a society where people constantly judged others based on how they act, behave, and perform, he really didn't care about what people think of him.
And on top of that, he already had a very bad first impression of humans as a species even though he is one of them, with Asura's critic and seeing how one human could treat others, it was clear that humans were not good, there was an exception, Zio had a favorable impression of the girl in the Inn but he didn't consider her good.
He just thought of her as someone normal who doesn't care about others but won't go out of their way to hurt others as well.
Zio found an empty seat and sat down waiting for this entrance exam to begin, after an hour of waiting, everyone was finally present in the field, all the chairs that were on the field was occupied by a person, about to become a student of the academy.
More than a thousand people are sitting here and talking to each other created a very loud atmosphere, Zio was annoyed that he had to wait an hour but it didn't stop him from looking into the three skills that Tempest gave him.
Every second he looks into these skills is beneficial for Zio.
As he continued looking into them he noticed someone finally walking towards the podium that was placed in front of the crowd.
This person is an old man wearing a brown long suit and white hair tied up as a ponytail, right behind him is a middle-aged woman wearing a light blue robe, she has long black hair and fair skin, she is a very beautiful woman indeed and she must have been even more beautiful when she was at her prime.
The old man stayed silent and looked at the massive crowd of people in front of him, he waited for them to all quite down, noticing that the old man is still staring at them, some young people who were still talking quite down.
The look on the old man's face was really intimidating and they didn't want to offend him and just like that the atmosphere turned silent, the lady behind him just smiled seeing this as she never gets bored of how this old man can just make everyone turn silent just by looking at them.
Zio sighed as everything quite down, he looked at the old man and had nothing to say about him, Zio didn't look up to anyone, it was his pride, the people he did look up too are dead and now there is no one present.
This old man seems strong but he is not strong as Zio's Mother, Father or Grandfather, maybe he could defeat a hunter from Clan Asura and that's it.
He just appreciated this old man's skill to shut down the loud crowd just by looking at them.
"Now let's begin"
The Old man said.
