2 The test

While the lady was escorting Zeb to the nearest teleport stage she started looking at the report of him.

"So you're just a regular human? I really hope you're good with that sword." She says while looking back and smiling.

"I'd say I'm above average with it" Zeb replies while looking at the buildings around him.

'I really feel sorry for this kid, the way they treat humans there are disgusting.' She thought.

After 15 minutes the instructor and Zeb reach an empty teleport stage, it was a cylindrical shape with a door in the front.

"Ouuu looks like we got here before the horde of students" she turns to Zeb.

"Here's your ID don't lose it, it gives many benefits like buying food on campus and using teleport stages and more"

She hands Zeb the ID.

He didn't care to look at it because he knew there was most likely nothing on it.

Zeb walks up to the teleport stage and holds his ID up to it. "Like this?" He turns his head to the instructor.

His vision began to fade to black as the last thing he saw was the instructor smiling. Before he could realize what was going on he was teleported in front of the school.

He looks around in awe, the school was the biggest thing he has ever seen. It was a nice light brown color with a big black gate in the front that led to an entrance that had a big colorful garden around it. He saw over thousands of students just appearing with him, as he walks inside he feels someone push him.

He turns around to see who the dunce is and he sees that it's a tall slinky red head with a white halo over his head making him a heaven-sent.

"So I was right, it was a filthy human blocking my path." He starts laughing.

There wasn't many regular humans left, many became slaves to heaven and hell-sent. Others did mass suicide hoping to be reborn into one of them.

The bully looks down at Zeb's ring as it starts to glow, his eyes begin to fill with greed.

Zeb puts his hand on the hilt of his sword, "don't you even think about touching it."

At that point a big crowd began to form around the two. After a couple seconds of suspense and the crowd chanting "fight, fight, fight" over and over again, a tall girl with white hair pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Zeb and the bully.

"Hey can you two chill the fuck out, there's people trying to get in the building and they can't get pass."

Zeb looks around him to see the crowd and then back at the bully.

"People like you make me sick to my stomach" Zeb says while walking away not wanting to draw anymore attention to himself.

He walks into the main door to see a couple of stands with the combat stand in the front. Zeb lined up and waited until it was his turn.

"Student name and ID please" the man behind the stand says.

"Zeb Loft", Zeb says after giving him the ID.

The man takes the ID and presses it up against some kind of screen.

"please take a ticket from the box in front of you, that will be the group you will be in to take the skill exam."

Zeb takes the ticket on the top of the pile and flips it to see he's in group M, suddenly the screen with Zeb's ID on it begins to glow, after 10 seconds of glowing it stops and the man hands the ID back.

"Here you go, now after sign ups close go to the sign with your letter on it."

Zeb nods and walks off to look around the place.

After 30 minutes of waiting, sign ups finally close. Everyone gets in a group that corresponds with their letter.

After looking around he sees people with the letter M and joins them.

After Zeb joins the others, a very tall and burly man in a suit walks up to them. "Now that the last person has arrived. I am your examiner, Kano Banks. Before we get to the exam I just want to tell you all the power rankings are from f to god tier. Your ranking in this school means a lot, so do your best."

Kano then instructs everyone to follow him and after 5 minutes they walk into a small gray room with a comical punching dummy with a red target on its stomach and a screen beside it.

"This machine will calculate your strength, you can use any attack or weapon, Just make sure you hit the red target."

He then points over to a machine that looks like a ball shooter.

"Over there is the agility tester, that machine will shoot balls at various speeds, you will have to try and break every single ball, if one passes you, you are done. So now we are ready to start."

Time passed pretty quick, 4 out of the 6 of us students had finished with me being next.

Nathan cox, the guy that went before me was really strong. He was a heaven-sent that had blue short hair and standing around the same height as Zeb. He had water abilities and wore black jeans with a blue jacket and white undershirt. He seemed like one of those antisocial cool guys, after finishing his two test he got a c rank.

When half humans started being born many had the ability to manipulate one element, apart from being either heaven/hell-sent. The best elements were air, fire, then water.

Nathan getting C rank for the first exam was a big accomplishment.

When it came Zeb's turn he could hear two girls whispering to each other.

"He's soo handsome I wonder if he likes anyone yet."

"Don't fall for him yet, he might be weak."

"Yea but he might be super strong."

"Well we're about to see about that."

Zeb never got compliments or attention from anyone before. He had green eyes and long white hair that would usually cover half his face and fairly tanned skin. He stood around 6"4 (193.04cm). Zeb never considered himself handsome, girls would never talk to him because he was a regular human with no powers.

"Man they're about to be in for a surprise" Zeb thought to himself.

The examiner stops Zeb as he steps in front the dummy.

"Zeb Loft, I see from your records you are a regular humans with no power right?"

Zeb nods his head and can feel the disgust coming from behind him.

"Heh there it is" he thinks to himself.

"Well we would usually give powerless humans enchanted weapons but looks like you already have a sword, would you like me to enchant that?"

Zeb looks down at his sword and thinks for a bit, "Nah I don't want a shitty element that could never get taken off, this is my main sword after all"

Kano and everyone else in the room became very confused. Kano has taught at the school for many years and never had a student deny an enchantment.

"Hmm… okay carry on with the test" Kano looks a Zeb still confused .

Zeb took a deep breath and uses his skill <Swift Slash>.

And boom 1000….

Zeb immediately went to the agility test not even looking at his score for strength.

He stood a couple feet away from the ball launcher and waited for it to start. The first 30 second were easy to him as all he did was slash the balls as they came, after 1 minute they became impossible to slash. Zeb ended up with 1 minute 5 seconds which was only E rank.

"Zeb Loft, F tier with a power level of 910" Kano says while reaching out to give him a fist bump.
