5 The School Test

The capital of the Central Kingdom, school city Asdia, that's the place I am currently in.

It has been 2 months since I began learning and training with Marie and Dust.

They even said I have some talent, which makes me a bit proud.

"Hey, Tir! Are you going to stay there or will you come with us to the school test?!"

The one that asked me is Arthos, someone I met with on the way here, he is also going to take the entry test to the school, though to a year lower than mine.

Since I'm a year older than the normal age for the test takers I will need to take a test for a transfer even if I didn't study anywhere before. The test is a bit harder, but these are the rules if someone wishes to enter a class that is on another year.

If you fail once in a test you can't try another test, for example, someone that failed the test the first time can't try it in a transference, but that's okay as I have a sure way to pass this test.

"Wait for me!"

I say while jogging a bit to catch up to Arthos and his friends.

.

.

I'm in a room with the rest of the people that wish to enter the school through a transference.

There are 17 others here besides me.

Creak

The sound of the door opening.

One more person entered the room, that makes in total 19 to take the test.

I just have to wait for the first exam to begin, I believe the first is the written exam.

.

.

.

After about an hour of waiting the first exam began, the final number of people in the classroom for the exam is 28.

About 5 minutes after the exam began someone raised their hand.

Wait, did he already finish? Impossible, this exam is supposed to last at least 2 hours.

"Teacher, I wish to resign from this exam"

Eh

"Are you stupid?"

Oops, My thoughts accidentally leaked out.

The teacher is looking at me with an ugly face... Focus on your exam, me.

"You know that it will be harder to pass if you resign from this exam, right?"

Oh, will the teacher knock some sense in that kid's head?

"I know, but I didn't have time to study everything so I'm betting on passing through the other examination"

Or not, the boy said such a thing with a smile, how can you bet your future with such a happy face?

"Hmm... I like kids with guts like you, you can prepare for the physical exam on the room next door"

Am I surrounded by muscle-brains?

Focus, Focus on your own exam me...

.

.

.

It is now after the written exam.

We are in a gymnasium.

I was the last to finish the exam, in comparison, I think that I'm the one that is the most confident about his answers.

Oh, where is that kid that gave up the written exam?

I look around to see if I find him and easily do.

He is... sitting? Oh, is that the thing that those in Arius always do? That stuff called meditation?

There wasn't any proof that it works until a few years ago when it suddenly became a boom in the training regime... I guess he is trying everything to surely pass, it is said that you need years of meditation to finally see some results.

I guess I need to start to do my stretches then, I will be called soon for my physical exam.

"Normally, those who finish the test last will go first in the physical exam... Normally that is, in case of someone resigning in a test, the person who resigned will go first and as a punishment for resigning they won't go against a stationary doll to show their power, they will go against a teacher of the school and this time I, the supervisor of the combat department was chosen for this test."

The teacher stopped for a moment and grinned at the boy who was meditating.

"So... The boy who gave up the written test can come here and challenge me."

The boy slowly opened his eyes and exhaled.

"It has finally begun huh..."

Suddenly an immense pressure started to emanate, not from the teacher, but from the boy, a pressure that seemed like there wasn't enough air around.

Is that... Meditative Qi? How is that possible? he wouldn't be able to do it even if he meditated through his whole life.

The aura began to warp and focus on a few points of the boy's body, which then began to glow.

Wait... He has meditative Qi and a Bloodline? I thought I was the only one with a Bloodline that was going to do the transference test.

The boy suddenly disappeared from the spot he was.

Where... Where did he go?

I start looking through the room but he is nowhere I can see.

Suddenly the voice of the teacher resounded to everyone.

"You're good at this kid, but that isn't enough to pass this test"

It seems that the teacher is unsurprised at this.

"That's because I haven't even begun"

The voice sounded from upwards... upwards? I and the rest of the want-to-be students look up and see the boy on top of a scaffold of the gymnasium.

He then jumps off the pillar and starts falling towards the teacher.

"That's a good plan... Or would be if you didn't give your position. Now, most teachers focus on one thing, but not me, I need to master everything so that I can supervise the other teachers."

Flames, water-balls, rocks, and air-bullets start floating around him.

"So I can at least do this much against you."

He said with a grin as he fired magic at the boy.

"I wouldn't expect less from a teacher of this school"

But the boy seemed rather happy by this reaction.

He then started twisting his body, and as soon as a rock got close to him his feet touched it and he started jumping from rock to rock.

But I noticed something, the teacher is smiling seeing all this, he must have a plan.

When the boy was getting close, the rocks simply disappeared and he had no more footway to step in the air.

"When I noticed that you were using the rocks as foothold countering it was easy, and I had gained a way of guiding you to defeat."

The teacher said while preparing to deliver a punch straight to the boy's stomach.

When suddenly the boy shifted his position in midair.

And delivered an axe kick straight to the teacher's head.

"Guh... That was a good kick boy, but not enough to defeat me and pass this test."

The boy seemed a bit irritated by what the teacher said.

"You really need to wait a bit before getting all proud of withstanding one hit, as a teacher that's a really bad behavior. It's not enough... Because it's not the end"

The teacher made a panicked face and tried to defend, but it was for nothing.

The boy shifted again in the air and landed a punch straight to the face of the teacher and finally landed on the ground.

"Oh, and stop calling me boy."

The boy said to the almost passing out teacher.

"My name is Tir."
