We all lined up at the metal slab and above it read,
Strength:[???]
'So kind of like my status. I'll have to go at the back and see the average that everyone else gets, I don't want to give away all of my strength just yet.' I thought to myself.
"You may start at any time but please do make this quick. Punch with all your strength." The examiner said to everyone.
The first person hit.
Strength:[26]
Second,
Strength:[19]
Third,
Strength:[34]
Fourth,
Strength:[24]
Fifth,
Strength:[38]
And so on,
'Most people are hitting in the range of 19-45' I thought to myself, 'I'll hit at around the 50's I don't want to seem too strong but I don't want to be weak either. From what people have already seen me do this will probably what they expect.'
Everyone finished testing their strength and it was my turn.
Strength:[55]
'There.'
I turned around and walked away from the metal slab in the wall.
"Wow she is really strong, I mean she did beat that boy from before who was at Strength:[38] so it's to be expected." I heard someone whisper to their friend.
"Isn't she at the strength of an mid F - rank adventurer. I've heard that G - rank have to have anywhere between Strength:[20-40] and F - rank have Strength:[41-85] so that means she is able to take on monster hunting missions at the adventurer guilds!" Their friend whispered back.
The ranking in adventurers' power which I had learnt from mother went like this, G - rank have Strength:[20-40], F - rank have Strength:[41-85] , E - rank have Strength:[86-200] , D - rank have Strength:[201-415] , C - rank have Strength:[416-700] , B - rank have Strength:[701-1200] , A - rank have Strength:[1201-1800] , S - rank have Strength:[1801-2500] , SS - rank have Strength:[2501-3300] , SSS - rank have Strength:[3301-4200] , X - rank have Strength:[4201-5200] , Y - rank have Strength:[5201-6300] and Z - rank have Strength:[6301+]. So in fact I was a D - rank adventurer not a mid F - rank but they didn't know that.
The ranks of X, Y and Z have been told in legends and the only human to have reached Z rank in history was someone who had turned into a god. The people who were labelled as 'hero's' in history made it to X - rank and one made it to Y - rank but they all had some sort of potion that the king has that allows someone to forcefully gain power but all hero's were glass cannons. The hero's would have extremely low HP and would die relatively easy if you could hit them multiple times without getting hit back. Their HP were recorded to be around the levels of HP:[500-1000], 1000 being the Y - ranked hero.
I am weak in this world so I need to gain strength. The way many get stronger is by fighting monsters and levelling up so much it increases their lifespans or by training so much that it improves the stat you are training. Of course once you reach a certain power threshold you can fight the dragons and eat their hearts and flesh, make equipment from their bones and skin along with drinking their blood. All of these improve any races body and it is not okay. If anyone does that to anyone I care for I will kill them. So for that I need strength.
Anyway it was now time for our stamina test.
"Everyone follow me we will be going to a racing track, this isn't racing it's just seeing how long you can run for. Please do not worry about this test unless you aren't going to be using much magic or none at all for when you fight or if you aren't fighting at all and want to do something which does not include it. At the end of the testing procedure you are required to write down if you will be a fighter or not so don't worry."
We all followed and the people who got the least amount of strength and low stamina sighed in relief. Tess was also following the group to the racing track and I knew she had her eyes on my.
'She knows I limited my strength. She is staring daggers at my back.'
We reached the racing track and of course it wasn't that simple. There were many obstacles along the track you had to go through. Hurdles, tires in the ground, a net, a wall you had to get over which was quite small so people with little strength should be able to get over it and some things you had to go under. There were more as well but I'm not going to name them all.
"As you can see it's not as simple as just running or otherwise those with high stamina will go on for hours so this'll make it quicker. All of you line up at the start."
We all moved over to the starting line and Tess stood next to the examiner.
"Ready? Go!" He shouted as we all started running.
'They are slow. Should I slow down?' I thought looking back at them. 'I won't go my fastest but I'll make sure I'm faster than them.'
I started the first obstacle. Hurdles. Quite simple just jump over them but if you can't do that than you'll trip and fall, something I don't recommend. I jumped over the hurdles which there were 6 of and continued my light jog. The next obstacle was the tires which you just had to step in the centre of each and that's pretty much it.
After that was the net which you had to climb over then a small wall you had to jump and pull yourself over though it was small so with enough strength I could jump the whole thing but I decided against it. Next was this net which hovered above the ground and you couldn't go over as it was blocked off so you had to crawl under so those with fancy or expensive clothing groaned when they got to that part.
I sped through all of the smaller obstacles after that which were some very small things you could trip over or a beam you had to run over but all of it was simple. I lapped the other examinees multiple times and even more when they started slowing down after their tenth lap and I was on my 19th lap. The whole racing track was about 500m a lap and everyone was getting tired but I wasn't so I had to act which was quite easy as I had to remember the pain and exhaustion I went through being tested on in my previous life so I just acted out my exhaustion from then and eventually the test came to an end and I was the last one left. Everyone had laps between 12-17 and I did about 28 laps.
"Well done everyone you did very well. You may take a 10 minute break before Tess takes you to your next testing site. Please make sure to drink water since you've done all this exercise." The examiner said before he walked off and went inside the school.
This test was easy and I definitely could have gotten better results but I didn't feel like it so I just faked it. Tess, of course, could tell and she probably did the same as me when she tested.
"I'll take you to the next test site after ten minutes so rest now while you can." Tess said and a boy went up to her to hit on her. He was talking about how 'prestigious' his family was and talking about their wealth saying he could take good care of her but Tess didn't care and came over to me.
"Hey Tess." I said as she sat next to me.
"Hey Kiera, you did well." She said grinning knowingly at me faking my results.
"I guess and I'm assuming you don't care about other people knowing that we know each other since you decided to come over." I said.
"I don't really care about that." Tess said before leaning in and whispering in my ear, "Your way more important, they are just some humans."
Tell leaned back and she told me about what she did at the academy while I listened and then she realised it was time to go to the next test.
"Ah, it's time. Alright everyone it's time for the magic knowledge test so follow me please." Tess said as she got up along with everyone else.
