Chapter 24 - 24) Entrance exam

After the auction, I went home, are and slept. For the next 5 days, my only schedule was to eat, sleep and raid the Goblin Champion dungeon. The hidden area disappeared after I cleared it once. So the level 30 goblin champion was pretty disappointing. But I chose to not kill him instantly and tried to survive by dodging. This way I can get used to fighting close-range fighters who specialize in agility. Days passed in the blink of an eye and it was already the day of the Academy entrance exam.

I only levelled up twice in the past 5 days. Unfortunately, there were no life-threatening incidents that increased my level by a lot. I haven't even reached level 30 yet but my levelling speed decreased by a lot.

The difference in exp between increasing 1 level before level 30 and after level 30 is very high. This is the reason many people become old before reaching the level 50. The top academies only accept those who show excellent potential.

The entrance exam place was crowded and I heard a familiar voice. " Hey Ben where have you been all this time? I didn't see you at school " said Ricky. I told Ricky that I levelled up on my own and we were catching up with some good old stuff when Brian decided to interfere. " Levelled up on your own he says. Hey loser what level are you? I am already a level 20 now did you at least make it to level 10?" said Brian.

Ricky said, " Shut it, Brian, you awakened an Epic class while he awakened a Unique class the difference in exp required is huge so don't act like you got everything ". Ricky did not hide his level. It looks like Ricky levelled up to level 18.

We all heard a voice echo through the area. It's the same sage who was present at the awakening ceremony. He announced " Silence everyone, the entrance exam officially begins. You all will be individually teleported into the challenge area. There you will have to fight the monsters that come at you with your power. Inventories will be banned in that area so take out what you want from the inventory now. If you die in the challenge area you will be teleported back to the reality. Now I wish you all good luck ".

As he said that everyone started to disappear and I appeared in some wasteland-like area.

MEANWHILE ON THE OUTSIDE

The judges were sitting in the control room along with Mr Jack, The city lord and the Pope. They brought some subordinates who were standing behind their lord. The situation inside was streamed to the audience sitting outside. Judges of the normal academies were sitting along with the audience. The outside screen showed each contestant for about 2 minutes. The Judges sitting in the control room were from the Top academies.

One of the judges said, " It looks like your daughter awakened a unique class, Mr City lord. She is doing really well for her age ". The city lord replied, " She can do better ". In the control room, The videos of every participant can be seen and the whole screen looks like a giant honeycomb.

Mr Jack explained to the judges that there are 5 levels of test and each level is harder than it looks. It would be 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 minutes for an average individual to finish the five levels respectively. That is, by not including the stamina and mana limit of the participants. Most participants drop out at level 3. The talented ones drop out at level 4. Only those with extremely good talent can hope to clear level 4. Level 5 is for those who are born with monstrous talent.

One of the judges noticed that the Pope was not looking at her daughter Minerva. The judge asked the Pope " Who are you watching Mr Acolytus? Are you not interested in your daughter's progress? ". The pope replied, " There is someone I have my eyes on. Mr Jack what is the current ranking of the ones in the lead? ".

Mr Jack made the ranking visible to the entire audience and everyone was shocked. Mr Jack shouted " It's only been 10 minutes and somebody is already on level 3!!!!! ".
