-- 10 min that's a lot of time.
-- can someone who didn't pass the first test be able to show this much.
-- he might have cheated.
-- will he be the first in this Round.
"Silence" a loud voice echoed in the field and with that a complete silence spread through the field.
" Next" the old man says.
And next person comes. And this goes on and soon this 2 Round test also finished. And with that many students have to leave the field as they failed in both tests.
Then all the students are taken into a dark cave where the 3rd round test will take place.
Inside the cave.
" Now you all need to pass through this cave and reach the other end. But only first 300 of you will be able to pass this round." The old man says.
" But if you think you are lost, just break the life balls attached in your waist. Then the guards will come and pick you up."
As the test began everyone rushed inside the maze, they all wanted to reach the ending as fast as possible. There were total 1000 participants left and only 300 could pass these round. It's not like those who will fail will be kicked out, but they will lose there bonus. As they need to pass the 4 rounds out of 5, so everyone wanted to keep this bonus to use it in last round.
Many students were just blindly running here and there inside the maze. Some using there footworks to reach high enough to see the maze structure, but the walls were too high.
As Shiddharth was also running he got an idea so, he summons his dragon and asks him to find the exit of the maze. Dragon was much faster then him as his stats were not sealed. And within a second the dragon comes back to Shiddharth, and shows him the of exit of maze.
As Shiddharth was running toward the exit many other saw him and thus started to follow him. They believed that if could last 10 min in that stone test then he must have a way to find the exit so, without thinking much they followed him.
But soon they regretted their decision as the path Shiddharth chosed to escape the cave was full of traps, as his intuition was much sharper than others he was able to avoid many traps but still some of them were activated. It was not that critical but Shiddharth was wounded by this.
And soon he reached the exit of the cave. As he was celebrating that he was first again in this round also but the excitement was drained in a second when he saw more then 50 students has already passed this test faster then him.
And after an hour the test ends. Many students broke their life balls as they were lost in the cave or critically wounded and wasn't in a condition of walking. So total 564 students passed this test.
" The 4 and 5th round test will be tomorrow so, you can rest for today in our guest building." The old man says.
As the Sun had gone down, and many of the students who passed the round where highly wounded. So it would be best to take the test tomorrow.
In the guest building.
As Shiddharth was trying to take some food on his plate, he was not balance his plate properly as he didn't had other hand to support that plate. As his plate was about to fall a hand comes and stops it from falling.
" Ohhh thank you." Shiddharth thanked him while taking the plate back from his hand.
" Are you new in this city?" Abhi asks.
" Yaah, you can say." He replies.
" So what course do you want to apply in?" Abhi asks again as they both sits on the table to eat.
" I don't know how to use Urza properly so I will be taking Urza magic classes." He replies.
" But you are a Urza Sword user so why are taking Urza magic classes. Wouldn't it be easier for you in the Urza Sword class?" Abhi suggests the course as he thinks that Shiddharth could reach the peak of Swordsmanship if he learns Urza Sword more efficiently.
" You are not wrong, but I think doing Swordsmanship with only one hand will be too difficult for me and it's best to learn magic." Shiddharth replies. He didn't want to show off, he knew that there are many experts here who is better than him. And the most important thing is that his system is locked and if any problem arises or he bums into egoistic guy, he wouldn't be able to handle the consequences.
" You are right a lowly guy like you isn't qualified to learn the Royal Sword Technique of Yejaeta Academy." A guy who was passing by heard their conversation and said arrogantly.
"Sword techniques? He is not even qualified to be here." The other guy beside him says.
And they both laugh.
