Chapter 2 - Examination hall

"Mr harem,it seems like you want to be the first to enter the examination hall, don't you think you are a bit too excited?' a familiar mockery voice reached the young man.
He looked up just to see that he was in the classroom, more than thirty student were staring at him,some confused why he had turned himself into target,after walking out if the class last time they always find him turned out wrong,he have been having such a dream countless time and he thinks he his a reincarnation of someone else maybe a hero because he has read a book that about a kingdom called harem and his name his also harem,did I just take a snippet of the past? harem wondered.He recalled the dream and compare it to the content of the book he recalled. it was the same .
Harem Feng, I am talking to you!" The familiar voice rang through the classroom once again, angry and commanding this time.
But harem was deep in thought wondering about the man on the battlefield. The voice resounding in the classroom distracted him too much, so he subconsciously spoke his thought aloud," oh... fuck ....this shit.
" Mr Feng. Examination hall,now!". The man bellowed, finally dragging harem our of his train of thought.
He looked up in confusion and he only regained his senses. when he looked into the wrathful eyes of Mr Kane Dane,their homeroom teacher's
oh... right. The graduation exam".
Harem. was still a little confused,but it looked like he didn't have enough time to organise his thoughts.
His homeroom teacher was staring dagger at him,which only changed once Harem reach out for his backpack.he walked up to his teacher. At the same Time,he took a quick glance at the crystal watch on his wrist.
"9:01 am.if I start my exam now,l "be done by lunchtime to gather my thoughts before tomorrow. it may come in handy!"he thought. The crystal watch disappear a moment later.
The crystal watch was a standard model giver to student that are graduating in the final year,it had access to other humans across the universe.
when harem arrived next to his homeroom teacher at the front of the class,he heard Mr Dane' s familiar"teachings".
"looking at you I cannot help but feel my heart throb in pain, Don't even dare of acting arrogantly if you pass the graduation exam with a flying colours.you as good as dead If you think that your life inside the world of Expanse will be the same".
The hidden meaning behind his homeroom teacher's word was obvious but most student were already accustomed to that, including Harem.
" Mr Dane', don't worry so much. you "ve warned us often enough we understand.
Not everyone will awaken their war artifact in the first place!" A student with an athlete physique said while lifting his right hand high into the air. his mocking smile was aimed at harem.
A tattoo that shone a faint white light was etched in the right palm hand of the students,it was the war artifact he mentioned just now. However, nobody exclaimed upon seeing Nike hoven's war artifact. most students threw a loathing glare at their classmate before ignoring him. Harem was the same. They know that their homeroom teacher and Nike hoven loved to team up to ridicule other.
" Mr hoven,even if your war artifact was formed two days ago, you don't need to show it to everyone, " Mr Dane' reprimanded but stressed some words to pull the attention of the class to Nike.
Harem observed the duo's tomfoolery for the next few minutes with various thoughts about the dream tormenting him, once their teacher was done loathing over his favorite student,Mr Dane led harem outside. He took harem to a small room near the classroom and told him to go inside.
After harem stepped inside, the chamber door sealed shut, cutting off all the background,and the entire world became deadly silent for Harem.
At the same,his homeroom teacher entered a different room.
more that a dozen people were already inside the room, most of them teacher's. However, none of them paid attention to Harem's homeroom teacher
They were busy staring at the dozen holographic screen showing one student each.
"Collins Bade,olive Kate,peten seak, I should have started off with Nike as well, Mr Dane thought, shaking his head lightly.
it was already too late now because a screen showing Harem popped up,it was truly a shame.
Harem was not fit to be his class. He was simply on a higher level that his classmates.
Having worked as a teacher for more than a decade,he had never encountered student's like Harem Feng. They came from ordinary families but didn't thought too highly of themselves just because he was stronger that his classmates. he still devoted to not over cross ant class.
'Just wait for reality to crash down on you.
you don't have any power or wealth, but you are still strong, forget about connection.someone like you is not fit to become a Guardian.
As wicked as it may seem, life was never meant to be fair. Those who sought power would either overcome the obstacle thrown in the way,or they would be buried in the annals history.
As for the number of ordinary students who made it to the top after entering prestigious schools with more luck than wits and strength they could be listed on a single page.
"is that your student, Kane? l've never seen him before. did you train a black horse Trump while nobody looked your way? one of the teachers sitting near Kane Dane struck a conversation with him.
When he realized the other teachers had brought their aces to the Examination chamber to show off their great teachings to the esteemed guests,he gave up trying to contest with them. friendly competition was nice, but these teacher's were known for going overboard.
" A hidden Trump? Don't joke with me. Hange!.
Harem Feng is just a commoner without any noteworthy background, That kid is just luck, A" Kate Dane answered with a humorless chuckle, "His brother was fortunate enough to manifest a war artifact and retain his status as adventurer for a few years, but that's already it.
Harem paid attention in class but that was already it. There was nothing special about that youngster.
" He is a loner and only know how to read and sleep. He barely made it to the final year. "Kate nodded.
Hange looked at his collegue and frowned.
"Why do I even strike up a conversation with him? He's trying to humiliate his student by sending him off first"He thought.
For a moment, he asked himself what he was even doing in a prestigious school that specialized in teaching student about the world of Expanse and the livelihood of Guardian,adventurers and Lord's.
"Great payment without risking my life every day turns jerks into lovely puppies, that's for sure! ' Hange thought,shaking his head lightly.
He was about to say something to Kane when he heard someone approaching them from behind.
"Are you sure you're talking about the student you sent to the Examination Hall? your description seems off" A sudden voice interrupted the teacher's chat.
Kate Dane was about to call out the owner of the voice for her rude behavior, but froze when he saw the beautiful yet fierce -looking woman who was wearing casual clothes. she stood imposingly behind the teachers as if the entire place belonged to her which was not exactly wrong.
" M-m-m-miss- "Kane Dane stammered,just to be intercepted by the new comer
"I asked something".The woman said impatiently,her tone demanding yet obidence .
"yes,yes, of course, please wait a moment.Mr Dane responded hurriedly,turning back to the monitors to look at the holographic screen featuring Harem.
He sensed something was off,but he didn't expect something so nonsensical to happen right in front of his eyes.
" who the hell is that,and what did he do to the sloth I know".
"is that really Harem.
