Chapter 7

Seiko Gakuen.

An academy established to nurture teenagers who want to become Knights and is the best academy in the world.

The academy was built 15 years after the Catastrophe. The reason the academy was formed was because when the Dimensional Anomaly phenomenon occurred many ordinary people and people who had awakened. After the first Knight appeared and became famous. Many of these people were motivated and envious of the first Knight. So many of them both people with superpowers with no experience and ordinary people foolishly entered the gate without knowing anything. They thought of themselves as a great Knight. And some thought they could be like the first Knight. Until finally more than a quarter of the people on earth died.

It was because those people lacked information and battle experience that they fell victim to the monsters. Not only that, there are also traps, inappropriate environments, and different ecosystems that are a factor in many human deaths. This made The Protectors organization make requirements to enter the gate. They need a Knight's license to enter the gate. And that was the reason Seiko Gakuen was built, a Knight training academy. This academy nurtures knights to become knights with good insight and combat experience in order to survive and be able to face monsters.

It was the first knight academy in the world and it was built in Japan. The appearance of this academy made people confused as to why it had to be in Japan. The reason for this is because there are many people with high superpowers in Japan. Therefore, many countries copied and built their own academies. However, the most famous one is Seiko Gakuen. Because they gave birth to the "Nine Brave Heroes", they are nine knights with enormous superpowers. They overcame many crises that hit the world and one of them was the gate of S. Of the nine knights, only 3 remained and one of them became the Rector of the academy. And the rest of the Nine Brave Heroes disappeared and some died.

********************************************

A week has passed since I obtained the Long Feng Jian sword. And today I was in a room at Seiko Gakuen. Today is the day of the Seiko Gakuen entrance exam. There are two parts to the entrance exam at Seiko Academy, the first being the theoretical exam. The theory exam contains 1000 questions that must be answered for 5 hours. And the second is the practical exam, this exam requires that prospective students who will enter Seiko Gakuen will be told to fight. 1 on 1 in the fighting arena, they have to show the quality of their fighting skills. All they have to do is show their fighting ability, even if one of them loses, they will pass if they show a fighting ability worthy of showing.

If I want to proceed with the practical exam I have to pass the theoretical exam first. If I fail the theoretical exam then that means failure. I have to be sure that I'm capable of completing this. I've worked hard to study and practice in order to pass the exam.

I sat up straight on the exam bench, staring at the Seiko Gakuen theory paper. The spacious and quiet room kept her focused.

A man who was the exam proctor stood in front with a stern expression.

"You have 5 hours, please make the best use of your time. And if anyone cheats, then I will break your hands."

A threat was issued from the exam proctor's mouth so as not to do anything stupid.

"Alright, exam time begins."

Finally, the exam had begun. Taking a deep breath, I read the first question, while glancing at the proctor.

The exam proctor, walking slowly between the rows of students to see if anyone was cheating.

Looking back at the exam question, I confidently wrote the answer. The pencil moved quickly, filling in each line with an accurate answer. Cold sweat beaded on my forehead.

Time was ticking, and I was getting more and more focused. I was more and more confident that I would pass the average score and become part of Seiko Gakuen.

Staring at the next problem I paused for a moment and looked around.

"I knew it, they're going through the same thing."

Looking at the other examinees' expressions, they scratched the back of their heads, frowned, shook their heads and bit their lips.

Staring back at mine, I looked at the next set of questions and they were getting harder. With a deep breath, I continued working on the questions.

After a long time, the sound of the time-out bell broke the silence.

"Stop all your movements!"

Him loud voice stopped me and the other participants from moving.

"Raise your hands up!"

Him loud voice and intimidating aura made us obey the test supervisor's words.

Raising our hands up and leaving the exam paper on the table. The staff came and collected the test papers.

I breathed a sigh of relief, confident that I had done my best. I stared at the sheet of answer papers and exam questions being taken away.

Looking around, everyone also raised their hands. There wasn't a single person who cheated, it seemed like they didn't want to get their names tarnished because of that bad act.

I walked out of the exam room, breathing a sigh of relief. I relaxed all the body parts that were tense for 5 hours.

I walked slowly in the quiet corridor, enjoying the silence after the tension of the exam. The other participants had hurriedly gone home.

"I've done my best. Now, it's time to wait for the results."

Considering that there were around 100,000 test takers who had been selected to take the exam. Because of the large number of participants, the exam was divided into several sessions. And luckily I was in the first session.

Walking out of the examination center, I stood outside the courtyard fence. The entrance examination venue was not inside the academy, Seiko Gakuen had rented the venue for the theory examination. As I said earlier, the number of examinees is around 100,000, if it is done inside the academy, it will take a lot of time even if it is divided into several sessions. There are also other reasons, such as not wanting to disturb the students at Seiko Gakuen because many of the examinees are inside the Academy. However, the staff and invigilators were from Seiko Gakuen directly.

"Huh!!! I have to call the butler to pick me up!"

Now I just have to wait for the results. Looking at the number of examinees, the results would probably come out in a week. That's pretty fast considering the number of examinees.

As I pondered, in the distance I saw the car that the butler usually used to take me.

"Well, let's get some rest. I deserve it. And just in case tomorrow I'll practice for the upcoming practice exam."
