Chapter 30: First day of Exam Written and Fitness Test.

A few months had passed since Meeting his master and Jayven hadn't seen him since then. Now the day of the national exam arrived. Currently, he is at the stadium for the National exam.

"Thank you for sending me all the way here Ms. Chris."

"No Problem just think of me as a substitute teacher since the real one is on leave."

"Yeah, I guess so."

It's been months since I saw Master as much as I want to know what he is doing we are not close enough to know each other on a personal level. Especially now that he is not personally training me.

Plus, it might be something confidential since they somewhat have a high position in the association.

Okay, then I will be leaving. Also, you didn't forget to train your body refinement technique, right?

Yes, it's been a few months since I trained it.

Good, I noticed that you rely so much on your potion intake to continue training so you have to compensate for it with your body's strength got it?

"Yes, Ms. Chris."

Hearing that she made her seem satisfied. Then she rode her car and left the venue.

"Well then, I'll be going now, good luck."

"Thank you." Then Chris Left and Jayven left as he walked towards the venue.

And there a sea of people old and young alike were swarming the place. Parents wanted the best for their children or those who were overly worried about how they were doing.

As for the children at Jayven's age, they felt exasperated at their parents' attitude. While some reassure their family.

It was a bundle of expression from what he saw making him feel jealous but at the same time determined to do his best.

"Let's stop thinking negative stuff because even if they are not here, I am sure they will do the same. I have my own support and I'm sure they have my back."

He then thought of the people around him who supported him even though they kept telling him to give up. They really didn't force him and directly say It's hopeless for him.

"This step will be one of the many steps I will take to accomplish my dreams I need to do my best."

With his resolve strengthened, he moved forward and is now ready to face the challenges ahead.

~~~~~~Inside the Dome of Blossom city~~~~~~~

"The start for the exam today is the written test remember we have multiple surveillances and people with skills that can detect certain underhanded activities. As for the rules, it is the same as every other school."

The Procter then announced to the thousands of students taking the exam in the dome. And since the Stadium is so wide, they can carry out the test inside in one sitting.

Since the exam today starts with a written test all of us are given a time limit of three. It starts at eight and ends at eleven so that examinees can be prepared for the second examination held this afternoon.

That is the first half of the exam today. And the afternoon the second exam will start and it is about the fitness of the examinee.

"Distributed the test booklet."

With that as the signal, the staff below gave each examinee booklets with different colors. Knowing their confusion, the proctor explained.

Each booklet is differentiated by color as the questions there are different from each other. Now you know get ready. The exam will start about….. Now.

The flipping sound of paper resounded as the protector gave the go. Following it are scribbling of pen as they answered the examinee answered the test questionnaire.

"Well then let's see…hmmmm? The answer is this and this. For this….." Jayven continued to answer the test questionnaire with a practice motion how could he not know most of the answers?

And since he wants to get a good school Jayven did his best in answering it. And although his intelligence is high some questions are hard for him to answer.

Knowing this he didn't panic since he already expected this to happen after all not all educational systems have the same level. Plus, his INT doesn't equal a true scholar's ability, since hard work is better than superficial talent.

After the exam had ended and all the test booklets were collected. And since he was done Jayven left quickly, to grab some lunch.

Not long after the afternoon came and the physical fitness test was not going to be measured.

Upon his arrival, there was a set of fitness equipment being placed in the dome where they once held their exam.

And from the looks of it, they set this up after they left. Not long after the same as earlier, a person stood at the podium to provide everyone with certain things to

"Listen. As you all know the next exam is about your fitness. And for those who do not want to be hunters or certain professionals who need to have high fitness requirements. You don't need to worry."

He then showed the crowds a holographic in which we were shown certain images. There it is categorized from different people who seemed to be also from different professions.

"As you can see here this shows the required stats for your profession so instead of a test this is more of a screening to see if you didn't slack off. And if ever there are those who reach these required stats you can change your application if you want."

"…????"

The whole place is silent as the attitude of the Procter seems to have a hidden meaning.

"Umm, sir I think you read it wrong."

As if reminding him the person beside him told him something. And realizing this he changed his demeanor.

"Oh really? Confused he looked again. Ehem ehem. What I meant is, that this chart shows you if you have the qualifications to follow your dreams so let's hope you guys are worthy of reaching your goals."

Not long after the lines were then divided and Jayven started to think of something.

'Well, this is good and all but I guess it is better to not stand out on this one. Since the results are instant. After I only need to show that I have the capabilities as a hunter.'

Making up his mind Jayven started to plan out his next move during the test.

After a few hours, the tests were finished. But it didn't go without a hitch because arguments happened here and there.

As well as proof of taking illegal substances. There were also arguments about the equipment mistake in measurement but only a number of them were really telling the truth.

So, thanks to the help of the professionals here the problems didn't escalate much and all were able to finish their tests.

"Now then let's report it to Master Klein or Ms. Chris. Yeah, let's go with Ms. Chris he might be busy." He then thought of telling the results to his master as he headed back home.

-------------Certain Base in A hidden location (Master Klein POV) ----------------

"So how did he do?"

"It seems like Jayven is confident with his results. Also, his fitness is weird I took a look and all of them are a bit above average."

"Oh really."

"Yeah, and it didn't seem like he was holding back he struck with his full strength."

"Could it be because of his skill?"

"Maybe but it is really weird."

"Well too bad I can't go."

"Yeah, it's been a week now huh?"

"Yeah, sorry but don't worry just a little more and we can get to the bottom of this."

"I sure do hope so. Anyway, I think your hunch is right there are some movements here. So please hurry back I don't think this is going to be okay from anywhere I see it."

"Sure thing. Bye."

"Yeah bye, and good luck."

Afterward, the call ended. And Klein started to sigh as he saw the place where he was currently in.

'To think their base of operations here was just an empty shell. I guess they made a decoy this far in this continent as a distraction huh? Well, the exam is already around the corner but it is better to let them think I was stupid.'

Crouching down he sat at the Runes shining below him.

'For now, let's let them think I am stuck here from what I can see they are only using low-level runes. And there isn't anything hidden, that's good I can just get out of here with my brute force. But for now, I will stay here until they reveal themselves so that I can finish them up in one fell swoop.'

Having made up his mind he sat down and waited for the enemy's next move.

'Hopefully, I can finish them all off before the exam if not I will just beat them up before then.'

He hoped as he started to doze off.
