Good morning everyone, How are you all, Today is the start of the practical test which will be performed in five phases.

( 1 ) STRENGTH & STAMINA TEST. 

( 2 ) AGILITY & PERCEPTION TEST.

( 3 ) MANA APTITUDE TEST.

( 4 ) COMBAT APTITUDE TEST.

( 5 ) DUNGEON & ELIMINATION ROUND.

The practical examination will start soon. oh yeah, I forget to mention;

 Students sorry I should call you all Awakeners now ( laughingly) as you all know this year's practical test is conducted under the supervision of the Octagon so I will not be able to provide details about today's test, All the details about the test will be provided soon;

I wish you all good luck,

Miss Salini, please tell them about the exam procedure.

A tall lady with captivating beauty who already captivated all the instructors climbed onto the podium and stood beside Principle Sah;

Principle while blushing Awakeners She is Miss Salini, she is going to be your supervisor for the practical test. 

Hello, student I am Salini Singh a member of the Octagon (union council) research branch, I am here to conduct your practical examination, I will conduct this year's practical examination in a different process from the last 20 years.

Octagon has decided that we shall fail newly awakeners as much as possible.

Every student who was admiring her a moment ago was shocked,

What do you mean by wanting to fail as much as awakeners possible why, Akhil asked.

Oh, good question well, you all should know that the exam process that we followed in previous years was designed hurriedly because of the war between the Octagon & other nations, But in that process, the focus was always that we let students graduate and let them help in the war.

The War ended 6 years ago so Octagon decided to build a new system in which all new awakener's safety & survival is the highest priority.

After hearing about the war almost every student became sad as if she scraped their healed wound, they started to remember their dear who was lost during the [ The war of Hypocrites ] 

Ahem, I am sorry I didn't want to talk about war and dishearten you all. For that I am sorry.

Then a student asked, What about students who didn't pass this exam now?

Good question, for those who didn't pass this time around a graduation exam will be held again after six months. In those six months, all the students who didn't pass now. In those six months, their only task in the academy is to practice their skills or increase their level in the artificial dungeon that is already established in the academy.

Oh yeah, I heard some students practice in an artificial dungeon yesterday and got eliminated on the second layer. Only four students did good but they are still lacking, but that's ok you all just awakened five days ago, so I hope you all do your best. She tried to lift their morale a little bit.

Ok, then everyone came with me,

After some time all the students were standing in front of an artificial dungeon but this was different from the other one that students practiced yesterday.

Students here we will conduct your first practical exam, This artificial dungeon is the new model made by Octagon Research Center. Here your first exam will be,

STRENGTH & STAMINA TEST.

Ok then you all can go inside now directly you don't need to make your avatar here. The Dungeon AI system will make you suitable to fight in the artificial dungeon itself.

Anand and the other student entered the dungeon.

Hello student, I am Eco-31 ( alpha ). 

A tiny & cute hologram appeared in front of everyone I will be your guide for this Examination, So please if you all are ready, say I am ready.

After Anand & others said, I am ready. Ok, then you all will be sent to your first exam location. Be careful.

Anand gets transported into a classical training field alone, in the training field practice ball is in the center of the field. Then Eco again appeared in front of him and said, Hello Anand I will tell you the process of the first exam, Wait for a second Eco-31, Miss Salini said the artificial dungeon system will make my avatar but I don't feel like I am standing in a avatar form.

Fufu, fu why are you mentioning some old technology, In this artificial dungeon there is no avatar you will have to fight by yourself.

What do you mean by that?

Listen, the old version of the artificial dungeon was made with the concept of the virtual reality game where your avatar is doing all the work and you control the avatar through consciousness, So assessing your stats in avatar form or by yourself what do you think which will be more accurate. 

Are you saying I am standing here? 

Yes, you are standing here but don't worry you are safe here a protective layer is enveloping you right now & if this protective layer is damaged you will be teleported outside to the waiting room. 

So why not conduct those physical tests in the training hall?

Well, you are right Anand about that but you will understand after all of your practical tests are over and if you don't then ask your supervisor she will tell you. So now do you have any more questions for me or I explain the details about the test?

NO, eco-31 

Alright, You have to hit that practice doll that is in the middle of the field five times with your fist. A panel will tell your fist power and after five punches your average will be counted as your strength and you have to punch it again five times but be careful; something exciting may happen. Ok then good luck, 

Anand is worried about Eco-31 she is an AI but she is like a young girl who loves to play around. After assessing the ball he feels something unusual about the ball. 

Anand knows this is like a punching machine but he could sense magic coming from that practice doll so he is worried something may happen after remembering Eco-31 remark; Well all I have to do is punch it right.

He came closer to the Practice doll and punched with all his might, the panel showed - 15, Then Anand punched it again four times and it showed - 13, 14, 16, 12 

Then a system panel showed an. strength value - 14(High) 

Anand starts to relax because the new AI system is working fine and there is no unusual thing happening and it shows the same strength value as his stats panel said.

[After that AI system announced now second phase will start pls hit the practice doll five times again].

Anand as usual gets near the practice doll and punches it but the practice doll unexpectedly moves from its position. Anand now knows why Eco said to be careful because I have to first catch it then I can hit it.

When Anand follows the ball path around then he sees that the practice doll is running around without any pattern, as if it were trying to save itself from Anand.

Anand also starts to run behind it after some time Anand keeps in mind that the ball is running from him so he has to use his full agility and focus here but can I last till five punches my stamina stat is low compared to my strength. 

Oh, I should use my skill Eye of ???. That may be telling me about practice doll stats.

Special note***

[ The war of hypocrites name is given to the war which was started by the politicians who were ruling the major country before the Bhumi merged with Satya, this war was started because of their greed to control more than they needed. The public who suffered greatly because of this war named it The War of Hypocrites to warn themselves and future generations to desire more than they can keep is the most lethal poison that will rob your dear from you.]
