Chapter 71: End Of The Application Test.

Minutes had passed and Jayven had passed through the mazes along with different passages to be taken. 

The traps were like a breeze of wind to him as he dodged them so easily. Why wouldn't he? When he already faced a wide variety of traps from the maze mansion giving him a leeway with what he currently is facing.

"Woah this place is wide like super wide. And they have given us ten minutes to navigate the place. Which is crazy, or not since all the passages lead to the same room?"

Dodging the traps along the way Jayven started to analyze the place and map all of it in his mind and moments later he finished going around the place.

"Too bad I thought it had some secret passage like the last time. Let's enter the room. He said that as he left the place. To face the boss of the room."

With 2 minutes left in his timer, Jayven then went face to face with the boss which is a humanoid robot with hunter equipment.

"Oh, so this is the Boss for this test, weirdly enough I can understand. Well then let's see what you are capable of."

Then with a dash, Jayven punched the boss which the bot blocked and followed with a counter.

"Hmph, hiyah!"

Dodging the counter-attack, Jayven gave the bot a counter himself as he twisted his body for a roundhouse kick.

It also blocked and with a fast movement, it tried to grab Jayven's foot. Seeing this Jayven steps back fast before his foot can get caught.

"Man, this is tough this bot is at least B rank in strength. I have my attributes in fifty I can't finish him with a big attack. If so then I need to make it rain attacks."

Having made up his mind Jayven stride forward. And with a straight the bot punched Jayven but due to Jayven's good sense, he was able to dodge it and caught its arm.

Following that he twisted and threw it slamming to the wall. And as it got up Jayven came in following a series of combinations of moves to the bot.

And the Bot has no choice but to be on the defensive. Not giving up Jayven continued to punch and kick it.

But something happened that wasn't supposed to occur. The Bot's gleaming eyes had a tinge of red in them.

So, although in the corner the bot didn't back down either instead it counter-attacked and moved even faster.

"The heck it got even stronger? Is there a rule that he grows stronger the longer the fight? How are we gonna win then?"

Confused by the sudden increase in attack, Jayven was caught off guard and was hit by the bot's combo in return.

"Bueh, Kugh." As he got hit Jayven tried his best he stepped back to gain his footing and once, he did he looked at the bot.

"It is now at the A tank in strength. If that is how this is, let's also give it my all."

Wiping the blood from his lip he took a stance and dashed to face the bot. seeing Jayven advance it gave a fast straight but Jayven didn't light up and gave his all as well.

And gave his all in the exchange the two then received both blows but Jayven didn't stop as it gave his all in the next combo of attacks grappling its body slamming it to the walls throwing it to the ground and locking its body.

Not long after Jayven hung to its back tightening his hold and moments later it lost its function but it didn't last long as its light changed to fully red.

Once that happened the fight intensified and it got even more dangerous as Jayven lost his grip from the bot slamming him to the wall with great force.

With no choice, Jayven Activated Phenex's ability and enhanced his strength. Which balanced the fight.

"I don't know what happened it might be a bug or not but I am not going to lose to this."

Giving it his all the battle continued and this time he summoned the halberd.

As for the bot, it crouched like an animal and jumped to Jayven.

But not letting it near him Jayven slammed the halberd to its face and it just dodged it.

Still, Jayven continued and the during this time Jayven analyzed the bot.

And moments later he finished memorizing and with swift movement, he dodged all its attacks.

'I can see its movements now.' Finally having leeway in the fight Jayven felt even more confident in winning.

'So that's why you were hard to fight its attacks are mixed with feints. Even as it fights like a beast it combines with the movement of an intelligent being so it is hard to fight against it.'

As the fight goes on it is clearly to Jayven's advantage. And as though it noticed this it stopped moving and to Jayven's surprise it gathered mana at its right arm.

"This is nuts it can also use mana like a human? I thought bots are run by mana and the only way they can use it is by beam application which costs a lot of mana."

As it finished collecting man the bot growled mechanically.

"It growled what is this a beast? Either way, this has only one outcome me winning."

With that, the two clashed and afterward the winner was seen as the Jayven kneeling and the bot falling as though its strings were cut off.

"Phew that was one heck of a fight. Deactivating Phenex's ability he stood up. Let's see."

Then as though to wake him up in his stupor a beep resounded signaling that the exam was done.

"Oh yeah, this was a test I was so focused that I forgot for a moment."

Realizing this he walked to the door but before he could go out, he heard a sweet female voice.

{That was fun, let's meet again next time.}

"Huh?" Surprised he turned his back but he didn't see anything.

"What was that?" 

"Hey, get out."

"Oh yeah."

Dazing out for a second Jayven heard a staff telling him to get out of the room to which and with that his test ended.

~~~~~In the Judge Room After the Test~~~~~

Days had passed after the first day of the exam and the professors had already finished checking the performance of all the students.

But somehow, they seem to be faced with a problem as they are looking at a certain student's records.

"He failed."

"No, it was clearly shown that he was accepted."

"What? That's impossible we all know that he failed right?'

"I don't know about this too."

"We are also confused we check it up and he is there."

"He was over the time limit."

"What is happening?"

The professors were confused about a certain student enrolling in their academy and when one looked closely the student, they were talking about was Jayven.

In his record, it was shown that he went over the limit of the test but he was given a clear which confused not just the staff but the professors as well.

Then one of the staff who was responsible for the school's programming system started talking about how it could have happened.

"I think the reason for this is because of an error in the database there might be some kind of virus that was applied by the said individual."

"I see the reason why instead of going directly to the boss's room he first started to look around the maze."

Said the old professor who had already seen Jayven's performance as he criticized it. Others also agreed.

"If Sir says so then that's got to be the reason."

"Then what should we do?"

"We just have to access the main network of the school and remove the bug."

"That's great I will go to the principal and ask her for the right to access the main network of the school that way we can get rid of unwanted problems."

"Great let's go I will be with you on this."

"I would also like to come."

"Me too I want to go too."

"I would like to get an explanation as well."

"Alright then let's go meet her. Good thing she came back just now."

"Oh, I heard that too it might be because of the error, right?"

"Might be."

"Should we still go she might already deal with it?"

"Let's just go to make sure."

"Alright then let's ask her for an explanation then."

With that, the group of professors and staff headed to the principal's office. Unbeknownst to them there was another reason for her return.

~~~~~At certain Place within the Nine paths Academy~~~~~~

Inside a certain place, two figures could be seen facing each other. One being a mature woman and the other a nine-tailed fox.

"What did you do this time?"

"What do you mean?"

As soon as they faced each other the mature woman asked the fox to which she replied with another question.
