Chapter 72: Result Of The Application Test

"There was a movement from you a few days ago and a lot of complaints kept popping out that I have to return from an important business."

"Well, I found something interesting, but is that the only reason why you are here?"

"Shut up, What I want is to know the reason for your action. Even if it is the only reason, it is still valid since you are here."

"Fine, I will tell you. You do know my role here, right?"

"Yes, to protect and guide the students of this place. The reason why there are a lot of talented individuals coming from us is because of you Miss Nine Tails. "

"Yes, I help protect this place and guide all the students to the path that fits them, hence the nine categories of the school. Which was entrusted to me by my master when she left this world."

"So, it wasn't because of you Nine Tails?"

"I wonder about that. She said with a grin."

"Enough of this and get to the point so that we can solve this issue."

"Fine, I will tell you. That kid was interesting that's all."

"Interesting what did he do to pique your interest in him?"

"You know the marking I left on every facility here."

"Yes, it is subtle but there are nine stripes in certain areas."

"Yes, those areas are my passage to a certain treasure trove, if not clues to where it is."

"Wait what does have to do with you interacting with that kid did he find a treasure or a clue?"

"Not really he just touched it and left with a disappointed look."

"But why?"

"The reason for that is simple actually, I marked those on the day before the application tests and I simply forgot to put anything in it."

"You have a knock to disappoint people."

"What remembers the past? "

"Shut up! You always like to play tricks on people this is why you are harder to handle than other holy beasts."

"That's just my nature plus the influence of my master."

"I can't recall my predecessor like that though."

"That's because she does it to those close to her, you were just a kid at that time."

"Fine, I say you right but still was that all?"

"No, because I was so intrigued by how he found my markings I tried to play a little trick on him."

"You, troublemaker! What are you, kid?"

"How awful just say I am young at heart."

"Young at heart my ass, what did you do to the kid?!"

"I just tweaked a bit on the boss of his room making it stronger as time progressed."

"Wasn't it supposed to grow weaker as time progressed why the heck did you reverse it?"

"Like I said I was interested and I was also trying to lower it down after a few bruisers that would land on him."

"That's good I guess he is safe huh?"

"…"

"Why are you quiet? He is safe, right? Right?!"

"You really can't take a joke, can't you?"

"Just shut up and tell me."

"You tell me to shut up and ask me to tell you what happened you humans don't make sense, or is it just the demon blood corrupting you guys?"

"I said get to the point and I am pure human I don't have an ounce of demonic blood in me."

"Fine. The kid is all right."

"Good." She then sighed in relief.

"But."

"What is it this time?"

"He went over the time limit."

"So, he failed, because of you. I thought you would weaken it for him to pass."

"First of all, it was his fault second, he passed."

"Hold on for a second. What do you mean by that? How is it his fault and why did you pass him if it is his fault?"

"Oh, I didn't mean it that way let me explain."

Fixing her posture, she made an action, and moments later a holographic video was projected.

"What happened was he was dominating the bot so much that I manually controlled it."

"You did what?"

"Let me finish. Okay?"

"No need I think I know what happened based on the video you let out a shriek of excitement for a long while and fought the kid for a long duration and with only one thought and that is to win."

"Precisely you humans are really smart."

"So, the reason you passed him is to compensate for the time he lost?"

"That's correct."

"I am having a headache right now. Oh why, just why am I responsible for you?"

"Hehehe, if you have time bring that kid here, okay?"

"No, right now I need to solve this problem. So, I will excuse myself."

"Kay, Bye-bye."

After that, the woman left.

"That was fun, it's been a long time since I found something interesting that kid is really fun to play with. But somehow when I look at him for long it kind of annoys me a bit I wonder why. Because of that, I was a little hard on him."

He said looking at Javen's face. And tried to remember where he had seen it before.

"I really can't figure it out. But although the face is annoying his fighting style is somewhat similar to his so that kind of caught me off guard. Either way, since he is enrolled here, I will have a lot of time to interact with him there's no need to rush."

As she said that she started to look at other students to play a prank on or to "guide" them as she likes to call it.

~~~~~~At the Principal's office~~~~~~

After gathering together to complain about the unexplainable reason for Jayven's acceptance into the school.

With a knock on the door, the group of teachers waited for the principal to answer. And moments later they heard a response.

"Who is it?"

"It is me, Madam Principal, Prof. Grayson."

"Oh, professor, you can come in."

Having received permission to enter, Professor Grayson and the other teachers got in.

When they got inside, they met with the woman who talked to the nine-tailed fox earlier. Right at this moment is doing her work as she scans through the stack of papers on her desk.

"What is all this why did you bring a number of you here? Are you guys going to protest or something?"

"Madam principal can please do something about this?" Not answering her inquiry, he showed Jayven's information.

Seeing this the principal raised an eyebrow since this was the same student that the fox talked about to her. So, she asked the reason for them to show it to her.

"What is this?"

"A student who isn't allowed to enroll here."

"What do you mean?"

"This student has gone past the time limit of the test and for some reason, he passed."

"We tried to inquire about it at the school network but to no avail."

"We also tried to terminate his application but it comes back every time."

"It's like a ghost is doing this."

"Shut up there is no such thing as a ghost in the network." Said another teacher to the one being paranoid.

Seeing their confused state, the principal sighs as she understands clearly what they are trying to say. 'I don't get a break, do I? For now, let's explain this good thing I made a plan just in case.'

With no way out of this, she started to make an excuse as to why this happened to validate the point that Jayven should be accepted.

"I see, I guess everyone is worried. But there are no errors in this kid application the fault mostly lies with us."

"Meaning?"

"He didn't cheat."

"It can't be, right?"

"He must have cheated on us."

"How can you say that to a kid who you guys know nothing about? And how can you take responsibility if the fault lies on us huh?'

"W-well."

"Madam principal how can you be so sure there is nothing wrong here when all I can see is impractical reasons for this kid's admittance?"

"You guys are a handful. All right, I will tell you the reason."

She said that he showed the video that was shown to her before by the nine-tailed fox.

"You guys do know that our network is divided into three control stages and in each stage there are levels of accessibility we can have right?"

"Yes."

"But what use is this video?"

Pausing at the moment Jayven took a huge blow from the Bot. Then she explained

"As you can see here there was an error with the boss for this room."

"Yes, we can see that."

"Now then listen to this. The whole network of the school has what we call a backup security system. Which has a different purpose than what is generally used by us."

Hearing that they were all quiet as this was the first time, they heard of it.

"We haven't heard of this before."

"Because it was just installed this year we have just finished. And now it has just undergone testing and due to the sudden demon activist fiasco, the announcement kept getting delayed."
