Chapter 103 : Promotion Exam

Finally entering a grand chamber, Issei felt nostalgia hit him as he clearly remembered what happened here not too long ago and his fight with Riser.

Now that he thought about it, it was a good fight and he wouldn't mind having another one with him in a near future, as that would prove to be a good challenge to beat someone with regeneration on his own.

But for now, he needed to focus on his test and promotion in order to get himself free.

Not 10 minutes later the grand chamber was filled with contestants.

When the last one entered, the doors of the chamber closed, and the lights dimmed down with only light near a small balcony.

From there, the magic circle appeared with a few people arriving.

All of them dressed formally though what surprised Issei was two people in particular.

One of the said two was none other than Riser Phenex, in his still overconfident posture and a smug grin on his face, which made Ise grin as he wouldn't mind wiping it out again.

The other was Ravel Phenex in her pink dress, that she wore during the wedding.

She even had an aura of true noblewoman that Ise found a bit attractive as Ravel sure looked and acted like a mature woman.

However, she did have her moments where Issei wasn't sure if Riser overconfidence rubbed on Ravel.

Though the person that took the stage left Issei in bewilderment. The person looked like Ravel with her golden hair tied in a ponytail, only more mature and with a body that easily rivalled Venelana Gremory who was in Issei's book very attractive woman.

Though were Ravel had baby blue eyes, this woman on the center stage had crystal clear blue eyes that gave off the feeling like they were going to read your very soul and heart and exploit them.

The woman was wearing a beautiful crimson dress with white accessories.

Welcome everyone to this Middle-Class Promotion exam. I Sierra Phenex, the Matriarch of Phenex House, welcome you and to wish you all good luck in the coming test.

I presume you were all informed on how the test is going to be. But if you forgot here is the rundown on it. First, all of you will take the written exam and you will be given 2 hours to complete.

Next, you will all have an hour of rest before you will go to martial exam, were your fighting skills will be measured and tested.

For your opponents, you will face other candidates and to make it fair your opponents will be randomly selected.

Sierra explained it to the group of Low-Class devils in a motherly tone to ease their stress and nerves.

Before we begin with the test, I would also like to point out that those fine men and women behind me will be there to make sure that there is no cheating or funny business during this exam.

I hope that you've all studied and trained hard. The test will commence in 10 minutes.

Please enter the room to your left, there we will have our exam.

Sierra finished her speech before retreating into the next chamber.

As Issei and others enter the chamber that Sierra told them, he found it to be like a regular human school room with a lot of desks and seats with pieces of paper on them with a pen.

Taking one of the free seats, Issei waited until he was given further instructions about what to do next as he was unsure what to do next.

Luckily for him, the wait wasn't long as the Phenex family and the people that were with them entered the room, getting the loud crowd to calm down before a man and a woman stepped forward explaining what to do next.

As it was said by Lady Phenex. You will have 2 hours to finish your test.

We will patrol the room for any type of cheating or unfair advantages that might occur. You may now take your pen and start answering the questions.

I repeat you have 2 hours to finish your exam best of luck and BEGIN! The man spoke as all of the candidates took their pens and started answering the questions.

After 2 agonizing hours, Issei managed to finish his questions. He could have done it quicker, but both Elsha and Ddraig reminded him to take his time and re-read the questions.

Just so that he answers correctly. When Issei asked them for help during the test both the Dragon and Princess refused to help him, stating that it would be cheating if they answer the questions for him.

However, they did point out when he got the questions wrong so that he can correct the answer.

It was now the break period for the candidates that finished the first part of the test before going to combat part.

As Issei was laying down on the grass near fountain, he noticed that some people were coming in his direction.

Lifting his head, Issei was surprised to see that Ravel and Riser were making their way towards him with the former holding something in her hands.

Getting into the seating position Issei greeted them when they were close to him.

"Oh, what do we have here Fried Chicken and his beautiful little sis. What can I do for you guys?"

Issei spoke with a smirk on his face, as Riser's face burned red with anger while Ravel was red with embarrassment.

"Why you..." Riser wanted to say more, but Ravel stopped him as she stood in front of Issei, prompting him to raise his eyebrow making her to give even bigger blush on her face.

"Um… um... Sekiryuutei...um...this is for you...I hope you like it..." Ravel stuttered as she gave Issei a closed box that looked like bento.

"Um thank you Ravel, but you don't need to call me Sekiryuutei. Issei or Ise is fine that goes to you to Fried Chicken."

Issei said to her softly before addressing her brother with a smug look on his face.
