Chapter 84 Entrance Exam Part 04.

As the white smoke cleared up, the monitor on the measurement tools revealed itself. Soma raised his brows and wondered if he unconsciously used some of his mana to get to that point. Because he remembered his stats in physique quite well, he opened his status window to make sure the mana in his stats was not decreasing.

[SP: 800/800]

"Pheew, I am glad".

Seeing that his stats were still in full gauge made him breathe in relief. Silence looms over the room, and all of a sudden.

"WOOAH!!!".

It broke out as all of the candidates behind him let out a deafening shout of amazement, seeing the number that was on the display.

"Crazy..".

"Eighty, that's so impressive".

"How can he do that?".

"He must be cheating".

"Are you blind? The teacher will notice it first".

The crowd starts to go wild as some of them begin to create another baseless rumor that is trying to drop Soma's reputation. However, they didn't know that Hina, who happens to be near him, has a good ear, and she manages to catch the words coming from one of the candidate's male mouths. She shrinks her gaze as she tries to remember his face to the grave.

Soma beside him smiled wryly, seeing Hina act with such animosity toward others. He already knew that this was going to happen the moment he revealed his true strength. But he didn't regret it as he could catch the sight of the four main characters' eyes. They directed their gaze at him, observing his every movement. Especially the silver-haired girl and the black-haired boy.

Soma chuckled inside his mind as his first task was complete to get him to notice him. He took Hina's right hand in him and left the field, joining the other candidates. The moment Soma approached them, the crowd opened up a path, letting him walk like there was some sort of barrier that made them get pushed. The gaze he received from the groups was varied, such as amazement, fear, envy, and many more. But he ignored all of that and stood in the back as he was done with his part.

The teacher's gaze kept following Soma's steps. His heart was stirred a bit. Seeing the strength Soma had displayed before him, he wondered how the boy could have that much strength at such an age. That curiosity now clouded his mind as the corner of his lips raised, flashing his white canines that evoked terror for the candidates who saw him do that.

"..Next...".

The examination continued as the teacher kept calling the other candidates. Then the time came when a single boy with a timid personality who kept fidgeting and feeling restless, accompanied by a girl with a flashy style, stood out among the others in front of the measuring tools.

The boy has short black hair and is only 160 cm in height, with a hunched back showing his lack of confidence. He wears a blue blazer, a white shirt inside, and a green tie around his neck. Below him, he is wearing long blue pants and a pair of brown shoes.

Soma observed the boy enthusiastically, even though he didn't know his name. But his heart tells him that he recognised the boy upon seeing his appearance up close. He covered his mouth as he began to form a plan, trying to befriend him while also trying to hide his grin.

After all of the candidates were tested. The atmosphere remains stagnant, for there is no other candidate that manages to score ten points in strength.

"Good for all of you who finish the test. I will say thank you for all of your participation. Next, you will be measured on the next field. I won't come with you, but I will await your arrival on the next field where we can spar. See you later, now dismiss!!".

The bulky teacher starts to leave the field and let the candidates wander in place, not knowing what they should do next. However, a female student in her late teens, wearing a green robe, approached them with a seductive smile that could charm every puberty male in the surroundings.

She had striking green wavy hair and a beautiful face with large droopy eyes that gave a mature vibe with green pupils. She also wears round glasses. Every time she took a step, her hips shook, and the curve that couldn't be hidden with that robe exposed bit by bit, inviting the slumbered carnal in every candidate who saw her for the first time.

"Ufufu, greetings, new candidates. I am one of the seniors in the academy and also one of the vice presidents in this academy. I will help you in measuring your magical power and your element affinity. My name is Mary, pleased to meet you. Now, please come this way..".

The woman named Mary, with her soft and melodious voice, managed to enthrall every male candidate in the group, without exception the main characters. However, things are different with Soma.

Hina, who is, without knowing why, feeling uncomfortable in his heart, shrinks her gaze as she looks at Mary. Her entire being feels like rejecting that woman's presence. She caught the gaze of every male that got charmed while looking at the woman figure. Her heart was stirred as she didn't like this situation. She turned her gaze to look at the boy beside her and opened her mouth.

"Hmph, Soma, what do you..? Soma?".

However, contrary to her fear, Soma was clearly not in a good mood, his entire body emanating such a ferocious aura that stiffened her body. She saw his eyes were devoid of any light, looking like a madman who had lost all his reason.

Hina didn't know what was happening to him right now, but she knew this feeling very well. It was the same exact feeling he had unleashed his skill, but now he was more violent. She felt that if things got further than this, things would escalate to something far more troublesome. She grabbed Soma's left hand and yanked him to her side.

Soma, who was in a perilous state, got jolted and felt the sudden force that yanked his body to the side.

"Soma, can you hear me?".

"Huh?".

He turned his gaze and met Hina's eyes, who were filled with worry that she was trying to hide. Her eyelashes let a slight tremble as she looked into his eyes deeply.

"Soma, Are you okay?".

"Yeah, I'm fine".

"Good".

"Those two over there. I am glad you have a good relationship with each other. But please don't show that here. Because we will be undergoing our next exam soon…".

Mary, who witnessed everything in plain sight, warns Hina and Soma, who seem submerged in their own world and forget that the test is still not over.

"Ah, I am sorry".

"...Sorry".

Hina, with a flushed face, scratched her cheeks and smiled wryly while apologizing. Soma replied with a curt tone and created a heavy mood for other candidates who saw his attitude. Every male in line had a grave expression on their face as they cast their murderous gaze at Soma.

Soma ignores all those gazes as his eyes keep his sight on the green-haired woman who called herself Mary, for he knows her real identity.

Mary, who received his curt reply, smiled wryly, and then she clapped her hands together to bring back everyone's attention.

"Well, Let's not waste any more time than this and follow me toward the other field where the other senior will help you measure your MP and Element affinity. Follow me, guys?".

"Yes".

All the charmed boys followed her steps with great enthusiasm, inviting scorn from the other female candidates.
