Chapter 23 – Examination

A few days had passed since that encounter with Eira, who was the pink-haired cat girl, and today was the examination for the academy.

The place of examination would be at the National Academy, it was a normal academy for nobles almost always, but next year it will be exclusively for the use of young talents that will represent the kingdom.

I arrived a little early I was in a huge gymnasium with numbers of people about my age around.

I could see numerous faces that were familiar to me, either from memories of my future self or because I had seen them myself during these past few years.

In fact, only the elite nobility were allowed to skip these examinations which only includes some more powerful marquises and dukes as well as the royal family, on the other hand, the rest have to pass the examination like everyone else even if they are nobles.

Although I don’t get along particularly well with anyone in the neighborhood, I even saw the nobleman who asked me to dance during my birthday and thanks to my art of lust I managed to make him pee in his pants.

When he looked at me he averted his gaze nervously,’ wait how much does he know? maybe I need to silence him’ I was thinking if he realized that it was me who had caused his incontinence, no one must know (he just wants to eliminate him because he is handsome). 

But then I remembered that I’m Chris now, so I’ll let him live, temporarily.

The martial art that gave me the legacy of lust has as its main function to recognize the weak points of the adversaries, opening apertures and attacking them with precision.

It is also based on the knowledge of the body, which means that using it can cause cases like his, by loosening his bladder.

But it can also be used to weaken or hit, or even paralyze, as I did with Eira.

Most importantly, it serves to stimulate the body and find weak spots in the girls I’m having sex with, stimulating them and making everything more intense or increasing their sensitivity.

Although I haven’t tried it in action yet, the closest I came to using it for that was, when I was punishing Eira, besides spanking her, I increased her sensitivity, so the pain of the spanking was greater than it normally was.

Those are the fundamentals of the art of lust. Although the art of lust seems to be based on a melee art, there is a reason why it has a spear as a legacy weapon.

In fact it is a spear art, but from all I have seen it is a very flexible and versatile art by far, and mainly has melee movements and arts, because they are the basis of this art.

I have only been able to master the base of the art of lust, later on it will start integrating spear movements, but first I must perfect the physical part.

Which also refines and stimulates my body, so I became stronger than I initially thought, by inheriting that art, which is a great help.

As for Elena, I gave her an art that she got later from the God of darkness. The Gods also gave martial arts or breathing techniques to their representatives.

Or so they make believe, but my alternate self knew that they were arts that were created by the old representatives of the Gods in the past and the Gods just kept them and gave them to accelerate the growth of their new representatives.

Still, everyone would covet arts from those who rose to the top during their time.

It is not known if the art was from her predecessor or something like that, but it is an art that fits her perfectly.

The arts are basically something to achieve harmony between the mana and the physical body, they have many utilities the main one was to become stronger efficiently, but they are also accompanied by unique characteristics, as well as attack techniques.

It is the most effective alternative for those with little mana and no talent who can’t waste it casting spells.

As for which of the two is stronger, there is no such thing. A mage could easily defeat a specialized warrior or vice versa.

There is no such thing as one being stronger than the other, but rather who uses their resources better during battle.

Although obviously, factors such as skills, blessings and experience are the most salient in deciding a victor.

..

.

While I was lost in my thoughts, I saw a familiar face and an involuntary shiver ran through my body.

In fact, I knew he would be here, but seeing him directly was another matter, not to mention that my alternate self took it upon himself to impress upon me his feelings about this person and what he thought of him.

He was a blond young man with a face that, while not handsome, was above average, enough so that no one had any complaints about his looks.

Despite not being considered handsome, come to think of it, he and I, as far as looks go, although we don’t look alike, are close to the same range of handsomeness male.

At the time, the memories and feelings my alternate self was screaming at me to stay away, as well as the case with the girl from yesterday, but then I thought, like it or not, he was someone who was necessary to keep close.

In fact, my alternate self knew it too, but still imprinted his feelings of rejection on the memories I inherited from him, I honestly get it, just thinking about those memories sends chills down my spine, my whole body screaming for me to stay away.

‘I hope things will be different this time.’

right now it didn’t matter if I approached him because of my current appearance, so I simply suppressed all those feelings, as well as the bad memories of my alternate self for the sake of my goal.

I thought about what would be the best way to approach him in the future since right now I’m not mentally prepared and I want to avoid getting involved with him now if I don’t have to

‘hummm what to do, I think it would be better in the second or third week of school. humm…’.

At that moment my thoughts were interrupted by a loud voice coming from the podium up ahead.

“Attention everyone! ” 

Spoke a burly man, filled to the brim with muscle and an imposing presence, with a bald head and a very loud voice. Naturally, at that moment, we all looked straight ahead, drawn to him.

“As you all know, the age has come when the mana of this world will begin to rise, giving birth to great heroes and champions, this age when mortals will connect more easily with the Gods….”.

he began to speak of things of common knowledge of this world .

“all Those present are talents of the realm, whether by their skills, strength or blessings . They are the best of the best ” 

Without a doubt, even though he said that, there were more than a thousand people here, between the ages of 15 and 20 only 300 can become students and that includes the to many nobles who already entered .

In fact, because the ages were a bit different , it would be bad if the younger ones are overshadowed by the older ones, but the supervisors take that into account, and the examinations are always based on your age and talent and not on pure strength.

“Next, we will begin the examination that will prove you are worthy for the kingdom to feed you “

He said, and without further ado, pulled something out of his bag. It looked like a cane or something similar, it was even big for the trainer who was already about 2 meters tall.

No doubt if it was next to that it would look more like a pole than a cane plus it had inscriptions and other things added on it. Which gave it a unique and imposing as well as ancient aura.

“This one here is the staff of suppression and its function is…. why don’t I better show it to you directly? ” 

Fwoosh!!! 

Saying that, he took the large pole (staff) in his hands and masterfully gave it a few twirls with which, although I wasn’t that close, I could feel the gusts of wind created, making me think that being in the path of that would turn me into minced meat.

Wuchhh… Whoosh! 

The instructor moved that huge pole with grace and fluidity making clear his skill making me admire his movements and mastery.

I didn’t understand what his movements meant, but as he said it had to do with the examination I paid special attention to decipher its meaning.

Many around me also did the same thinking that the examination had already begun, after doing movements and techniques for a few minutes, leaving us amazed, the muscular supervisor stopped and before the expectant gaze of all, he snorted proudly.

“hmph!!!, well next the exam”.

After that, he walked a few meters beside him and put the pole on some kind of support allowing it to stand.

“…”

“”….””

“”””….””””

Silence pervaded the place he couldn’t read minds, but he was sure the thousand or so people were thinking the same thing.

‘What was the demonstration for earlier?, was it even necessary?, did I just want to show off?’ 

It was certainly cool, but I wonder if it was really necessary to do what he did before.

But I’m not going to criticize out loud someone who can make mincemeat out of me with one move and apparently no one wanted to risk asking either.

The moment the supervisor made sure everything was okay he addressed us.

“the examination begins now.”
