Chapter 26 - THE PREPARATION

Firstly, if you intend to bring him along as I know you will, we will have to spend seventeen gold coins and luckily for us, that's no issue for us.

Entering the military academy, he has to be either a contestant or a servant, seeing his age I don't think he can be a contestant so if you insist on him coming, he will be registered under your name as a servant.

"He is sixteen," Laston said pointing at Razor.

"Shut the fuck up how can he possibly be sixteen," Lynx retorted as he stared at Razor who nodded in affirmation to Laston's claims, "it's genetics."

"ha-ha-ha what a mess, you're gonna remain like that, oh my god, to think I was worried about traveling with kid, now that is cleared you have to prepare to brace up so you won't be left behind, left for me? I would prefer you stayed back," Lynx responded a little relieved.

"Okay! With that out of the way, with those talismans questions about our background won't be asked as only top clans or family have access to such token during the entrance examination."

for reasons best known to them some families tend to keep their descendants anonymous in the military academy.

That's not really a concern of ours as with se talismans we have the perfect coverage as nobles, and unlike before if you bring him along as a servant it would appear more glaring for anyone who cares.

Keeping that in mind the test would go in three different segments, according to the talent of the examinees, we would be separated into different classes, the technique users, the magic users, and the cultivators.

Those with a high affinity for all the classes will be given the option to choose, now with all I have seen you do I won't be surprised if you fall into this category, well that would be up to you as you decide to make.

After that we will be tested on our physical stats: agility, strength, reflexes, and finally, mana calculation he said after a slight pause, Lynx wore a scrunched-up face as a deep frown could be seen, that's gonna be a problem.

Mana-calculation is the output of spiritual energy after the core is unsealed, it happens to be the most important and observed test in the entrance exam which experts will spectate, you happen to have an abundance of spiritual energy putting you in the spot.

I don't see the problem here I mean everyone is meant to burst out spiritual energy after their core is unsealed, right? Laston asked

you don't seem to understand the problem the moment your core is unsealed you gonna be the center of attraction, every powerhouse present will try to convert you into being their disciple.

"you know we can help with that," Lexy said, but that will require you to have direct contact with the sword, as we will drain your spiritual energy instantly before it leaves your body.

No that will attract more attention," Laston said out loud which left Lynx confused as he was oblivious to the recent development.

Seeing Lynx's confused gaze Laston proceeded to tell Lynx about his new friends that dwell in the sword of consciousness they previously acquired and how they could communicate with him.

No! That will pull more attention on you, that sword of yours should only be brought out as a last resort." Lynx immediately responded understanding the situation.

So what are we to do now 'cause it seems we are at a stalemate on what to do," Laston asked hoping Lynx would come up with a solution like he always does.

Sitting to look at their options, Lynx could find no loophole as the particular test in question was unavoidable

I think we should leave this matter for now since it is out of our hands and theirs nothing we can do about it.

We have to look top-notch while we attend to keep up the act as high-class nobles, we must get new robes as the ones currently in our possession won't cut it.

As Laston and Lynx continued to map out plans for the entrance into the military academy, a man could be seen making his way to a large chamber.

"Father," he said as he casually strolled to an old man who sat on a chair that could be considered a throne.

"Something strange is happening, firstly the General commander, Nax who is known to be the sadist general is interested in this year's military academy recruit.

While I find that strange and abnormally not that much of a deal as such a program is under his jurisdiction, what I do find strange is why the sect master of the phantom cutter would make reservations for half of his sect elders to be spectators during the oncoming military academy recruit.

What is so special about this year examinees that would draw the attention of bot the sect master of the phantom cutter and the general commander

father! send me, I would love to quench my curiosity"

"Zephyr? I am too busy for all this nonsense just go do you," the man on the chair said with a sigh, seemingly not wanting to continue the conversation with the young man who happened to be his son.

Good!!! while at it I will try to recruit the best for our clan, if any of them happens to be worthy, after that he turned around and left leaving the large chamber in silence once again.

"Zephyr, zephyr, zephyr, if only you were not crazy you would have made a good heir but at last, you are a sociopathic psycho" the old man said pondering in his thought.

Laston and Lynx could be seen strolling the busy district Razor could be seen not far behind them carrying some items that were bought.

Laston then sighed, "You know I can toss those items into my bracelet you don't need to stress so much."

"Then what use am I to you if I cannot at least carry these items its not like it's heavy or anything like that," Razor said almost tripping due to the weight of what he had to carry.

"suit yourself," Lynx said having no care in the world but suddenly came to a halt as he was about to pass a certain familiar shop, starring at Laston, and Razor the trio proceeded to enter the shop.
