Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Final Exam

Adam walked towards the arena his sword strapped around his waist as he walked towards the center where he met with his adversary

The latter was a buff man holding a large greatsword placed on his shoulder and had a smug look on his face

“No.1 huh? You don’t look like much”

Adam just merely shrugged and let out a sigh (“guess I’ll come across a lot of people like him huh”)

“Begin!”

Now it was time for them to begin their battle but Adam didn’t waste any time and charged towards his opponent, the adversary didn’t have time to react as a fist slammed into his face

* BOOOOMM!! *

The opponent was sent hurling out of the arena as blood sprayed from his face, his form crashed against the wall of the arena with a loud crash, his body was limp and was already unconscious

Medics rushed in and they checked his condition they gestured that his was out cold, had a broken nose and a few missing teeth

“Winner! Adam!”

Adam already left the arena before the commentator even announced his win as he knew that the fight was already over and it took just less than 3 seconds for him to completely crush his opponent

Absolute silence filled the whole arena, no one couldn’t say anything it all happened in a flash one second the fight began and in the other the opponent Adam faced was already out cold

Even in the VIP section of the arena no one said anything but they just stared at what happened until one person broke the silence with a whistle it was none other than the vice-headmaster

“Now that was brutal, didn’t even give the power kid the chance to fight but effective nonetheless” she said so as she just leaned back on her chair

“That was too excessive if you ask me” the person who said this was Duke Bazel and he had a thrown on his face clearly displeased

“Haha I’m sure you just afraid he might do that to your son” this was none other than Duke Caelthorn as a family of assassin’s they know that quickly finishing off your opponent before they can even counter was the most effective strategy and he couldn’t help but give a jab to Duke Bazel as he was always insufferable

“Or he might just be sour that his prized heir only got 4th place” the one who said this was Duchess Corven, she didn’t really like house Bazel it she thought it was just a house filled with prideful and egoistic people who cling to their bloodline as a lifeline

Everyone knew how house Bazel operated, if anyone just as dared to surpass their heir wether in appearance, strength or even talent they’d show hostility or try to recruit them into their ranks if anyone refused well let’s just say they won’t live to see tomorrow

“Tch!” Duke Bazel couldn’t help but click his tongue in displeasure as he couldn’t even retort after being cornered like that but then saw a chance to get at least one word in

“I’m sure house Dragonis must be stressed out since they’ve banished a boy with such talent and strength” he said this whole casting his gaze towards duke Dragonis

The man in question twitched his brows upon hearing that but didn’t show it and merely stared at the arena and then said “It doesn’t matter he won’t be able to beat Luke or Sidney” but deep within’ his heart he knew the truth when Adam grows stronger he will be able to be on par or even surpass them

Luke and Sidney Dragonis were know throughout the whole human continent as the next pillars of strength while the other houses also had their own prodigies already thriving in the academy and the outside world besides house Bazel, but they knew those two were just on another level entirely

Luke Dragonis was a prodigy in swordsmanship and awakens the rare class of a sword saint, also commanding the affinities of Light and Lightning

Sidney Dragonis a cold beauty also a dual affinity of Water and Ice, a prodigy in magic that even House Malros couldn’t help but envy for them having such a skilled magic user and she awakened the class of a Sage

Both of them were now in their final year of the academy and were at the peak of B rank and are already preparing to ascend further to become A ranked awakened

No one said anything after that but they couldn’t help but wonder if that was really the case as Adam had the rare affinity of space that only the vice-headmaster has awakened and had such a deep mastery of it regardless of him just being an Peak E ranked

They couldn’t help but wonder how much power it would generate now that he was an D ranked awakener and his foundation was stable

(Back to the arena)

People were still baffled by what happened but regained the composure after some time, Adam was already back on his seat next to Duke and Selena

After his match the next matchups were called and the matches quickly went underway after that

Countless duels happened with people winning and some loosing, even with the barrage of attacks happening the arena was still holding on steady and the first matches quickly came to an end as only around 100 participants were left

“Now those who are not in the 100 mark will be be escorted out of the academy, only 100 students will be admitted this year”

“But do not threat as you’ve come this far and I’m sure other academies and guilds would be eager to have you in their ranks”

The announcer said so as the rest of the 600 applicants left the arena leaving only 100 people left, some let out a breath of relief as they were now admitted at the academy

“The duels shall continue, these matches that are about to begin now will set your hierarchy in the academy”

“There will be Class S, Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D and the low being Class E”

“Being in these classes determines the amount of resources and facilities you can access, but these are not permanent if you improve your strength and ranking you’ll go to the next class”

“Class S has only 10 students same with Class A, and the others have only 20 students”

After giving them that information the announcer tapped his wristwatch and a holographic screen materialized in the air before them

This showed their names and the people they will be fighting and the one who was going to be on the first match was Duke

“Wish me luck”

“Like you’ll need it”

Both of them chuckled and gave each other a fist bump as duke ascended towards the stage and that’s when the Final entrance exams began to happen with full earnest
