Immediately afterwards I felt an invisible wave hit me. Literally, I felt a mass of something physically impact me, I could barely hold myself together.
I didn't understand what happened for a moment, but I instinctively resisted whatever it was that was pressing down on me.
I looked around and saw how many people were flying through the air. That would be my fate if it weren't for the fact that I somehow managed to hold on.
The pressure emanating from the staff was so great that even breathing became difficult.
However, I resisted and did not move from my place. Few managed to stand firm as I did.
As my alternate self did not experience these tests, I only know what is coming thanks to some abuse of authority techniques I implemented and I understood the main point of the tests, not what exactly would happen, so I am as surprised as everyone else by what just happened.
'Couldn't that muscular old man have warned?', as if responding to my mental complaint I could hear his voice again.
"This staff releases an invisible pressure. The only way to overcome it is with willpower; the more you have, the less the pressure will be on you. The examination will be to get close enough to the staff and touch it. Those who succeed will be allowed to move on to the next examination."
'Damn muscle head, it's too late to explain what the examination is all about.'
I swallowed the curses I had in my mouth, remembering that in my current identity abuse of authority techniques are sealed, and saying the wrong thing could cause me to be made into a meat paste.
So I just gritted my teeth and braced myself. I needed to pass this examination quickly and free myself from this annoying pressure.
With that in mind, step by step, I approached the source of this pressure that was encroaching on me. I looked to the sides and saw the few who were not sent flying.
Among them was that crazy guy and another girl not far from him who strongly caught my attention.
She stood out because of her red hair with blue locks, which made her stand out a lot, but her bangs covered her face, as well as her big round glasses.
But what stood out most about her was her large bust that even in baggy robes could be easily distinguished even when she slouched a little, they were so prominent that they seemed to be unaffected even by the pressure of the staff.
'Well, it's not like it was gravitational pressure.' The only extra gravitational force being emitted at the moment is from his massive bust towards my eyes.
For some reason I can't stop staring at it, as if it's an attraction ability. 'No!, I'm sure it's an ability.' It's a force too great to resist, I try to look in another direction, but my eyes go back there.
'Damn, what kind of magic is this!' I couldn't believe that those big spheres had gravity of their own.
At that moment, I decided to put this on my list of things to investigate, it was a phenomenon too strong to ignore maybe I will find in it some of the truths of this world.
No, it is definitely related to the fundamental laws of this world and can be a path to power I need inv....
"Participant Christian, come in!"
"EEh?" Suddenly, as I struggled against the gravitational pull of those two large masses, I heard the annoyingly loud voice of the supervisor telling me that I had passed.
I looked around and, before I knew it, I was inches away from the staff, meaning I passed. At that moment, my theory that those large masses have more power than that staff, which is a high-ranking weapon, grew stronger in my head.
But now that I was finally free of that terrible attraction I realized that the person possessing such a dangerous weapon was someone I know from the memories of my alternate self.
I might not see her face clearly because of her bangs and glasses, but that chest and hair are unmistakable.
~breasts
she was someone important in the memories of my alternate self, but someone with a warning placed on her, just like Eira.
I certainly wanted to get close to her, but I have learned to heed the warnings left, and not go with her any further than a friendship and the reason is because she is a potential, yandere.
~breasts
In fiction, yandere's are something everyone loves; they emphasize them as someone who would give anything for love and prove it with their actions, there are those who idealize them enough to have fantasies of them in fact I was like that until I got the memories of my alternate self and was hit again by reality.
After all, not everyone is cut out to handle the intense love of these people, which leads them to go to extreme measures to have their love duly reciprocated.
In real life, it's more like walking on eggshells, fearing the possibility of things ending badly. Seeing how that girl caused stress to my alternate self—he was just a spectator and not the target of her obsession.
Even so, she was a source of indirect stress, and that was more than enough for me to completely agree with my alternate self and not include her in my harem.
~breasts
Not to mention that yanderes and harem are not categories that go hand in hand without putting your life in danger. of course, unless you are a semi-immortal vampire, with madness and obsession to match, but my inexperienced self has not reached that level... yet.
Good thing I'm not the target of her love, so I don't have to worry about being the victim of a big self-destruct spell while being sustained by her.
'wait was that how they died? ...humhmm...mhmm'
I feel something weird about the memories, but well it must be because it's been a while since I got them and I might have mixed them up a bit, the important thing is that I don't want to be the recipient of her love.
~breasts
my alternate self lived through a lot of things so it's best to heed her warnings, so I decided to just watch and not touch for this one.
she has a very interesting ability, which kept my alternate self from being targeted for elimination by her.
In fact she was a good friend of my alternate self, so I have no qualms about approaching her and if possible changing her fate a bit, but it is also up to her, but without any intention of joining her to my harem as that is out of the question.
~breasts ~breasts
'shit!!! stop appearing in my head, I'm seriously thinking here' the evil image of her breasts even affects my mind I can't even think seriously, those things are driving me crazy that I started to self curse, my desire and reason are having a big disagreement at the moment.
'Uhm, but those big ones..... No, wake up, don't be fooled by that. Life comes first... what if now that I'm a man it's different...? That doesn't take away from the fact that she's a potential yandere... but those big boobs...? No, you forgot what you saw in the memories of our alternate self.... Damn...'
I was having a fight with myself about what to do it's like I had become two people.
I come to this academy with high hopes, but the first prospects I see are people that my alternate self has warning on.
Rather, they weren't even a possibility. I thought that now that I can be a man I might give it a try, but my hopes diminished when I ended up punishing that rude brat and realized that my alternate self was right.
On the other hand, there are four such warnings in this academy alone, and I just happened to run into two.
Well, it's mainly because they are both flashy and talented, which made my alternate self and myself pay attention to them easily.
"Oh no!" he seemed to notice my stare. Remembering what her ability was I quickly changed all my thoughts, I mentalized my alternate self's memories of her being a good friend, and the good feelings I had for her without going beyond friendship.
She, on the other hand, tilted her head in confusion, as if she didn't understand something, but that was much better for me. Before she misunderstood me.
'ufff that was close' I didn't want to create misunderstandings, I finally stopped listening to that murmur of (~breasts) and decided never again to put my attention in front of those who has both physical and mental power and are highly dangerous.
I still wasn't in the right state of mind so I turned my gaze to the blond boy, who is a source of great fears of my alternate self, as well as the target of the yandere. I didn't know whether to pity him or say he had it coming.
I looked around and could see that many had already finished with the examination and others were about to or had already given up, so this was not far from over.
After a few minutes, the supervisor shouted.
"The first examination is over. Everyone who did not cross the finish line is disqualified. Don't think this is an unfair trial. Even if you have five or only two metamorphoses, the pressure exerted by this weapon is will be felt equally by all. What this examination seeks is to test everyone's willpower."
He began to give a short speech about the importance of this examination.
"Our kingdom will not patronize those with weak will. Therefore, those who lack this, even if they have talent and strength, will not be accepted..... Now those who have passed will soon begin the last examination for admission".
