Max wanted to squash the head of this little retard. He flared with energies for a moment, which sent chills on everyone's spines. With no exception. Some of them even started to get back because they could feel the magic powers touching upon them. It was the case when people with no affinity to magic at all felt the magic elements surging violently around them.
At this moment Max came to a decision. He will not kill this retard and waste his chances to gather forces and allies. He will get all the coins from those nobles bastards.
Max relaxed and the energies relaxed. The youth that insulted him was seriously shaken by this display of strength. He understood that he offended someone not simple. Max smiled at the youth and shouted so everyone can hear using his knight and magical powers: "Alright your excellency. Hahahahaha!! I Mad Max declare that my class will not except any noble from now on! It will happen if this noble will show something incredible and beg to be accepted to my class on his knees. Also all my teachings towards nobles will cost 100 times more! Rey! Get your little ass over here. We have some brat that thinks that he is 'his excellency' to teach some manners."
The crowd was a little confused. The nobles looked at Max with disdain. Albert said: "The third challenge starting now. Please don't disturb me."
Max laughed: "Don't worry brat. I just show you how insignificant you are. In around half a year all of my class will be able to destroy you in a one on one fight. I will just show you what awaits you. You think too highly of yourself."
The third test was simple. The attendants needed to hit the target and according to their level they need to get power beyond the norm. The punch power was around 80 kg for unranked power, 300 kg for level one apprentice knight and 600 kg for level two apprentice knight. It were reasonable numbers according to the academy.
Soon Rey came quickly. He looked at Max with confusion. When Albert saw Rey he asked: "He will beat me? It is a child."
Max laughed and said: "Yeah Rey is ten years old and is a level two apprentice knight. I would say that he is pretty close to a level three apprentice knight. He will show you what is power. The funny thing is that he did not consume any alchemical product. This is a pure talent to cultivate knight life energies."
When Albert heard this he was dumbfounded. He looked at his guard for the approval of what Max said and when his guard nodded in confusion he did not know how to respond and what to feel.
Max said after seeing the noble reactions: "You are not talented like you think. I will show you know what is a power of a ten year old kid compare to you. You should be around twelve or thirteen."
The test started. Albert was very confused. His pride was hurt. He had three chances to punch.
He gathered all his strength and punched. The numbers on the screen that showed the result started to rotate and stopped at the number of 450 kg. It was a good result according to the academy. Albert still felt not satisfied and he did two more hits. He did not have to do it because now he could just get a teacher to accept him and he would part of the academy but he decided to teach this commoner. To show him his place. He made two more hits that showed 470 kg and 500 kg. After getting this result he turned to Max and said: "Lets see if the kid is capable. He is level two knight apprentice so his power should be around two times higher."
Max smiled and told Rey: "Hit this with all your might. He thinks that you are just trash that will be used. He thinks the same about me. Show him what are you made of. Gather all of your power and wipe his disgusting smile."
It was one of rare cases when Max did not curse Rey and not berate him. Max talked from the heart. Rey felt the disdain from the nobles. The way they looked at him. It really hit his soft spot. After what his master said his fighting spirit ignited. Rey did not say anything. He looked at the nobles that looked at him like he was a piece of trash that is going to get humiliated. He remembered how the nobles tried to get him and his closest people in this world to get thrown on the streets. They came to threaten the old priest Emmy and her helper Elena all the time. If not for them protecting those kids they would all die from starvation.
Rey's eyes got bloodshot. This was one of the times that he was really motivated to show those bastards that he is not trash. That he is not even equal to this high ranked noble. That he is at a higher level. He got to the checking mechanism. The nobles that saw his emotions and did not hide their emotions. Some of them even said some "kind" words to this commoner. Rey only got more riled up because of this. He generated all his powers to his hand. His life energy was very robust. He was not a talented fighter but he was talented in cultivating life energy. He had his own pride. His was not a monster like Max or Valeria but he was not a pushover. With a strong battle cry he punched. BOOM! The numbers started to rotate quickly and soon everyone saw a result: 1800kg.
Max said: "Rey you can do better that this. Again! Stronger!"
The nobles were dumbfounded. Generally it was already the highest result this academy has seen until this day. Albert did not even knew what to think. This kid was a monster. He was not lazy but he did not know how could he punch like a strong level three apprentice knight.
Rey nodded and his momentum increased and his hand shot again at the target. BOOM!
The numbers started to rotate again frantically and that they stopped at 2000kg. Now the nobles were silent. Those kids got the point. This kid was insane.
Max was not happy: "AGAIN!" Max roared.
This ignited Rey and he shot at the mechanism again and gave his all! BOOM! Now the numbers rotated even stronger and stopped at 2100 kg! Max was generally satisfied. This kid was not hopeless. He wanted to say a rare words of praise but than he stopped.
Rey erupted with power after the last hit. His life force fluctuated frantically and it looked like he passed some kind of barrier. After another childish battle cry Rey's aura got to a level of the third apprentice knight. After Breaking through Rey looked at the noble with contempt but did not say anything. He proved his point already.
