Something Is Going On Here

A woman walked down the stairs and stopped in front of Christopher and James.

She looked from Christopher to James and spoke.

"What are you doing, James?! Is this how a student of the Tamer Academy should behave?"

James lowered his head and apologized:

"I'm sorry, Principal Monica."

"You better be... And you, what is your name?"

"Principal Monica! This is my elder brother, Christopher!" Adonis rushed up to her, smiling.

"Elder brother?"

Monica frowned slightly. 'So he's the useless son of the Valhalla family, but how could he knock down James, who's an Elite-level Tamer? I'll have to find out.'

"Why are you here, Christopher?"

"I'm here to take the test."

Christopher's words stunned everyone, even Monica was speechless.

"Hahaha!! You, take the test?! This will be—"

James's words trailed off, seeing Monica's cold gaze.

Monica observed Christopher and nodded. "Okay."

She nodded and turned to the youngsters.

"The test is about to start; everyone should head inside!" With that, she walked towards the door.

The youngsters nodded and followed her.

"This isn't over," James hissed and walked away.

"Should I deal with him?"

Christopher and Katherine turned their heads to Adonis.

"Don't be surprised; James might be arrogant, but to girls, he's a fool... These guys can help me deal with him... I just need a video or pictures, and his and his family's reputation will be ruined."

"That won't be necessary," Christopher shook his head and walked towards the building.

Katherine and Adonis looked at each other and followed him.

Advika looked around the huge stadium they were standing in, seeing hundreds of people staring at them.

'This? Is this a test or a competition?' she thought, seeing Christopher walking inside.

"Now that everyone is present, we can begin!"

Monica's voice echoed all over the place.

Christopher looked at the high podium above the audience section, seeing the heads of the four strongest families... The Borodino family, which was the strongest family in the capital and country, followed by the Felons family, then Valhalla, and lastly the Vanir families.

'This isn't just a test; something is going on here,' he thought.

Monica: "I'll now explain the rules and stages to everyone."

Christopher looked at the youngsters in front of him and sighed softly, seeing Advika.

'Was this why she needed money?'

After ten minutes of explaining the rules, which Christopher's siblings had already explained to him, Monica gestured for the youngsters to step forward and strike the huge lion sculpture behind her... Out of everything she said, one caught Christopher's attention.

"Anyone who gets a reading from 1-10 will be eliminated... All of you shouldn't disappoint me; at least 50 should pass the first stage."

"50?!"

Monica's words stunned the youngsters, while she continued:

"Now... Move forward one at a time!"

Christopher watched as the youngsters formed a straight line.

The first moved forward, a young man in a white T-shirt and pants, with long white hair...

They were still registering, so no one has the academy uniform, a black luxurious uniform.

The young man looked at the lion sculpture.

"Okay."

Monica looked down at the list in her hand and up at the guy.

"Young Master Mitchell of the Canine family, please channel your Life Force and strike the sculpture," Monica instructed.

Mitchell nodded, clenched his fist, channeled all his Life Force into it, and sent a powerful punch of energy towards the sculpture.

A powerful gust of wind blew, pushing the others back several feet.

The energy fist moved towards the sculpture and collided with it.

BOOM!!

It shook for a second, and numbers started appearing on the huge screen on its chest.

DING!!

[Number: 55... Elite Level.]

"Whoa!!"

The youngsters and audience all exclaimed in surprise and shock.

"Hmm... It seems the Canine family are planning on taking the fourth position," the head of the Borodino family said, turning to the other family heads.

"They should be ready to wait another generation because they won't be overtaking us anytime soon," the head of the Vanir family said with a scoff, adding, "Besides, my family will be pushing down the Valhalla family soon; it's just a matter of time."

"That won't be possible, Mr. Vincent," Ethan said with a smile.

"What makes you so sure? Both of your children are Intermediate-level Tamers... And your eldest son isn't even a Tamer yet... As I said, only a matter of time," Vincent smiled.

"Oh?" Ethan smirked... "My eldest son is now a Tamer, and a powerful one at that."

"Huh?"

The other three heads turned to Ethan in surprise.

"How powerful is he?"

The head of the Felons family asked.

"Just watch the test, and you'll all get your answer."

The heads and their families sitting behind them all looked up at the huge screen, which was displaying what was happening on the stadium below... They were all stunned to see Christopher on the field.

"He might be among the youngsters, but his highest level will be that of an Intermediate, just like your other children," Vincent said.

"Let's wait for his turn and find out," the head of the Borodino family said, while the others nodded.

On the stadium, Christopher looked around and sighed softly...

"In less than ten minutes, half of these guys have been eliminated. Some don't even know how to channel their Life Force, or even strike with it."

"Hi, Chris."

He turned his head to Advika, who stopped beside him.

"I want to thank you for the other day."

"There's no need to thank me; if it was someone else, they'd do the same thing."

"Not really... You're one of the few people who helped us without asking for anything in return."

'Anything?' Christopher frowned slightly and turned his head to her side profile... After a few seconds, he sighed inwardly.

'Don't put your nose in someone else's business,' he thought.

Advika stared at him from the corner of her eye. Before she could speak, Monica's voice drew their attention.

"Advika Evander, you're next."
