Victor opened his once again changed eyes that quickly went back to normal.
"Huh? Fire, very interesting it's different from what I thought....." Victor absorbed his understandings before he once again wrote his gains down for later.
[ Hidden Trial - Battle of Comprehension Has Been Completed ]
[ Congratulations to you challenger for succeeding and understanding the two Principles ]
"Huh?"
"Someone did it?"
"We can now leave?"
"Who did it?"
"Yeah, what is their rewards?"
"Come on we might be able to find them"
Everyone was woken up as the stone pillars disappeared with the Principles, and they quickly found out the reason as a new set of words appeared above them in the sky.
[ For passing you Challenger and your party will be rewarded greatly for your achievement ]
[ All Challengers will be rewarded a Token and now be allowed to leave ]
"Who did it!?" Chang Heng became enraged when his practice was interpreted but his face completely changed when one of his bodyguards tapped him on the shoulder and pointed up.
"What is it?" Chang Heng looked up and his angry face froze.
"How? How can someone else do it? I haven't even done one yet." Chang Heng became absent-minded as he saw that someone had already completed the trial even before he even comprehended one.
But quickly that absent-mindedness turned to rage.
"Find who did it! The one that has the balls to dare go against me Chang Heng!" He yelled at all of his bodyguards as his eyes turned bloodshot with rage.
"B-Boss we can't do that." Chang Heng's strongest protector a level 19 Rare Archer face changed when he heard Chang Heng's orders.
He knew that if they really did that then they wouldn't be able to one find this person among these hundreds of people and two if they did, even Chang Heng's background wouldn't be able to save them as whoever did it would be a treasured genius.
And doing anything to them would mean life in prison or even death, if Chang Heng got his way.
"What do you mean!?" Chang Heng's face became ugly upon hearing this.
"Sir if we do we that then not even your father can save you, you know how strict the laws are when it comes to this stuff." The Archer's face turned pale as he knew he had to explain to Chang Heng that he absolutely couldn't do this and he was under strict orders by Mr Chang to make sure his son didn't do anything too extreme.
"Sir your father wouldn't approve of this at all." And this was past extreme, so he definitely had to stop Chang Heng.
"Fine" Chang Heng's face changed at the mention of his father and finally gave up.
Over on Victor's side, Victor waited for Michael to finish meditating but one thing Victor noticed and found strange was that everyone else but the people within 5 meters of him weren't meditating anymore.
Victor found this strange as he couldn't figure out why only these people were still meditating but he was brought out of his thoughts by Michael opening his eyes.
But instead of excitement his brows were frowned as he was deep in thought, before he gave up.
"Sigh, I'm missing something... I give up." Michael said as he massaged in between his eyebrows.
"You would have gotten it if you had more time, here." Victor spoke plainly as he handed over his notes.
Michael's eyes glowed in excitement at seeing this small notepad and quickly started reading Victor's notes and understanding of the Fire Principle.
"The rare book of Victor Wise, containing the knowledge of all his insights and understandings. It is said that anyone of his books contain the very answers and truths to everything." Michael smiled speaking like he had gotten his hands on the rarest treasure in this world.
Although he was joking and exaggerating, Michael really did see Victor's notes as a treasure as anything he didn't understand or need help understanding could all be easily solved by just reading one of Victor's note books.
Michael can't tell you the amount of times he had learned or understood something just from one of these books.
Infact Michael only passed his classes because of Victor and his books, it's not that he is stupid or anything it's just he doesn't really honestly try. If Michael did then it wouldn't be a challenge to sit amongst the top 5 students easily.
"Then I'll take it back if it's such a treasure." Victor said as gestured for the book.
"No I'll take care of it, don't worry." Michael quickly said keeping the book close, which caused Victor to shake his head.
They and everyone else was interrupted by a floating bronze token appearing in front of them.
The bronze token had a line down the middle which separated two engravings, on the right a flame and left a tornado.
[Trial of Fire & Wind Challengers Token]
[Bound Owner: Victor Wise ]
(A Token given to Challengers of the [ Trial of Fire & Wind ], the Token gives the owner the ability to enter the Trial once more at a later date, This item can not be sold or traded otherwise it will lose its affects )
[Requirements: Tier 1 level 45]
"Cool." Michael smiled as he grabbed his Token floating in front of him before inspecting it, turning it over to the otherside he found his name carved on it.
But before anyone could do much more a portal opened up underneath everyone and transported them back to their different reward rooms.
But there was no rewards or items in any of the rooms, instead there was two different portals with words floating above them.
[ Continue the Trial ]
Was above a purple portal, which lead to the next challenge, the other portal was dark blue and above it was.
[ Exit the Trial ]
Upon seeing that they really could leave almost everyone broke out into cheers and happiness that they had survived and could leave.
Only a small amount of confident or stupid people picked to continue the Trial and well that's the end of their stories as the Trial exited 'easy' mode.
"Fine we'll leave but you have to find out who did it! Or you can forget about getting paid!" Chang Heng yelled at the large group in front of him which was made up of not only his group of 14 protectors but also the group of thieves.
After a ton of persuasion and stroking Chang Heng's ego, they finally managed to persuade Chang Heng into not continuing the Trail and leave.
But they had to agree to find who had managed to complete the hidden challenge in return.
Over on Victor and Michaels side their reward room was the same bar one thing, instead of only having two Portals.
There was two chest were in the room, the top was made of glass that showed off the treasure within with a slot for them to place their token into.
Michael walked over to one and looked over the glass trying to find a way to open it.
Finding the slot he took out his token before putting it in and waited but nothing happened.
"Hey Victor you try." Michael singled Victor as he went over to the other to give it a try.
Victor saw what Michael did earlier and did the same but this time with his token, which was successful as a light came from the chest as it opened to reveal...
Victor's eyes widened at seeing the contents and quickly took them away hiding them.
Seeing that Michael had finished and came over Victor turned away from the chest as Michael place his arm over Victor's shoulders.
"Look at all the cool stuff I got..." Michael was interrupted by Victor before he could show Victor what he got.
"Not now, we need to leave quickly so people don't think it was us that got rewarded." Victor said as he dragged Michael through the portal to exit the Trial.
"So they've left... I can't wait for you both to return...." The mysterious voice once again spread but this time in the reward room Victor and Michael just left.
Opening his eyes Victor didn't find himself back in the main world with Michael but instead they both found themselves at the start of the Slime Dungeon in the forest section.
"Huh would you look at that, we're back here." Michael said looking around their surroundings.
"Good this makes it quicker, come on the exam starts soon and we have to hurry." Victor said as he summoned his Skeletons and Skeleton Wolf.
