Level 3 Scale is the maximum in this proving ground.
The second level has beasts between 1,500 and 2,000. But, at Level 3, the increase is even more important than that.
Not many students in this second academy can pass this test. Not even assassinate one beast of all.
Because the power is around 3,000 to 4,000 for each beast.
And even if you start with ten again, it's still ten beasts with more than 3,000 power.
A Power level of 3,000 is no joke.
Matt himself understands this because he recently used some of his power to destroy several extremely thick trees.
His power level at the time was low, but with the power of his fist, he could destroy trees like it was nothing. The same would have happened if he had hit heavy rocks instead of trees.
Even Matt still doesn't understand exactly how much his true strength is, as this week has been spent firmly training his control over his power, using very little vampiric power to fight these beasts.
In addition, the beasts in this category have fewer weaknesses, making them harder to kill.
This is why the professor was in shock.
"Boy, are you crazy?" He asked.
Matt smiled and shook his head, and instead of answering, he asked him, "Professor, do you have a vampire ball with you?"
The professor looked at him confused but nodded, and Matt asked him to take it out, so he took it out and gave it to him.
Matt wasted no time and immediately spun his power around so that his current power level was reflected.
As soon as he saw it, the professor was stunned.
'Does he have 3,000 power? What the hell? There's no way he had 2,500 power last week because he would be put in a different class than me, and supposedly, Miss Alice's subordinate had about 2,000 power when he was searched...' He thought and stared at Matt in shock.
"Boy, you..." He said, but he couldn't even get any words out.
Seeing 3,000 power reflected there left him in shock, and he understood one thing.
The talent he had seen in Matt was not what he had thought.
It was much more incredible!
To raise 1,000 Power in a week... How was that possible?
Still, he also remembered Matt's many injuries every time he went out. His training didn't seem to be like everyone else's.
'Could it be that he's been fighting all the beasts simultaneously? That way, he would manage to increase the effectiveness of his vampirism... Shit, this kid's a genius.' Professor Reagan thought, and a smile formed on his face.
This was just the kind of student he needed.
So, without hesitation, he patted him on the shoulder.
"Hahaha, kid, it's okay. Don't worry about paying me; I'll take care of everything. Let me see how capable you are." He said and finished with a laugh of joy as he turned around to do the procedures.
A while later, he returned and permitted Matt to enter his enhanced testing field.
Matt entered there under the professor's gaze, who, although nervous, was also looking forward to seeing what Matt accomplished this time.
He was, therefore, anxious.
And his anxiety lasted as long as it usually took Matt to leave.
When several students came out of the fight, he almost didn't notice them and did everything quickly to get them to leave. In the end, all the students came out, but Matt still didn't, which made him worry.
It was true that a student couldn't die on the proving ground, but...
Being seriously injured was possible. He might even lose some limbs if everything got out of control, which would be highly problematic.
Still, just as Professor Reagan was most anxious, he noticed a light illuminate in that spot and quickly turned that way.
The sight of Matt significantly injured on all sides greeted him. Although he could walk, the wounds on his body appeared to be open and bleeding constantly.
"Boy, are you all right?" Professor Reagan asked, a little concerned as he approached with medicinal ointments and potions.
"Take them quickly. You can't walk around with open wounds." He said, but Matt brushed it off.
"I'm fine, Professor Reagan. I got all 10 badges." Matt said, smiling, and handed him the 10 level 3 badges.
Although Professor Reagan was stunned by this, he still nodded with a smile.
"It looks like you are more talented than I thought. You have my respect for your determination and grit. I'm sure you'll go very high." He said, and Matt nodded.
However, he didn't want to talk too much since he was weak.
"Professor, I'm going back to my room. Thank you very much for the opportunity. I'll be in tomorrow for the tryouts." Matt said, and they both said goodbye.
He went back to his room without wasting any time.
His face looked thoughtful. Maybe a little regretful.
'Those beasts are powerful on the third level. In the end, I couldn't kill them by holding back and had to use all my strength. A good time to train, I turned it into a normal fight. Although it's training, I would have liked to train my control more in that place...' He thought while remembering his combat.
He couldn't help but regret it.
He felt that he had been arrogant.
Even though he won the battle, he felt that he missed an excellent opportunity to improve even more. That made him feel regretful.
Also, reality hit him.
He had been arrogant because he thought his strength had advanced enough to take on those beasts.
But it wasn't so, plus the fact that the ten things that were there were not four-legged beasts but humanoids made him feel worse.
He realized that his strength was still minuscule.
The feeling Alice gave him in that place was not an illusion. It was real. He was weak at that time, and right now, he is still weak in front of those who really have strength.
That feeling of weakness...
It bothered him.
He could not be weak at this moment.
He is in an unknown world, where there are unknown and strange forces out there.
The devourers, what the hell were they? He still doesn't know, despite reading books in the library.
They are a strange race that could take away his power at any moment, so he must tread carefully and be strong to fight them.
The problem was that he was not strong. In this dangerous place, he was vulnerable. He was weak.
If he ran into Charlotte right now, he wouldn't be able to protect her. And that made him feel worse.
Still, realizing that he was vulnerable when those humanoid creatures were shooting him down was not all bad, and he knew it.
'I must use this to increase my determination and strength. Tomorrow is my first test.' He thought and clenched his fists slightly.
After a moment, he smiled.
'Okay, time for bed.' He thought and went to sleep.
...
Two people were gathered among the mountains, one kneeling before the other.
"The battle in the village was a success, but then all my little ones died; now, are you saying that your companion died at the hands of those two little ones?" the one who was sitting down asked.
His chainsaw-like teeth revealed his identity as a Devourer. Besides, he looked powerful.
The kneeling one nodded in response.
"That's right, leader. She used a strange power from afar and killed him with her sword." He replied.
The seated Devourer nodded slightly and looked thoughtful.
'What a nuisance. That was the one who tried to devour the vampire with icy power... I didn't get any of it... What a bother, what a bother.' He thought and then nodded, getting up.
"Let's go back. We'll make a big move shortly; you'll participate again." Said the leader, smiling at a small scroll in his hand.
There were two humanoid faces there, of two vampires with their respective names printed on them and one word below: kill them.
He smiled, and after glancing towards the vampire academy area, he left this place with his subordinate, leaving the place in extreme silence as always, where only the beasts were heard occasionally...
...
The following day, Matt woke up early, got ready, and headed out after a quick breakfast.
Today's tests were supposed to be the first test they would face, and his goal was to reach the highest possible level within the control tests.
He wants to achieve the highest possible Rank.
These tests are held in another section of the Proving Ground, and several teachers are present. Professor Reagan was also there.
Some students from his class had arrived, and soon, more were arriving.
Many students from all classes stood nearby, waiting as they talked.
Matt waited on the sidelines quietly…
Finally, everyone arrived, and it was time for testing.
Professor Reagan nodded when he saw all his students and stood before them.
"I won't say anything; you know the rules. Go in there and prove yourselves if you want to stay in my class. If not, then surrender directly and don't waste the teachers' time." He said firmly.
Seconds after his words, the directors came out and announced the start of the tests.
