Chapter 46: The Secret Passage

"The hundredth candidate has arrived, and there are no more spots left! This marks the end of the exam!" 

Following the announcement, the short pink-haired girl in the uniform, who was sitting on the rock pillar, finally closed her laptop and stood up. Many gazes were drawn to her as everyone wondered what would happen next.

"First of all, I'd like to congratulate all the candidates here who have passed. I'm Jessica, a senior student here," she said as she made her way towards the end of the field. 

All the candidates, including Julius and his group, watched as she walked to the bottom of the cliff before stopping in front of it. After stretching her hand out and grabbing the wall, the surroundings began to rumble, and the bottom of the cliff opened up, revealing a secret passage.

It was a staircase that led upwards into the inside of the cliff. 

"Those of you who are ready may head inside. Do not remove your chest tags until you are told to do so."
