Entry tests.

MC POV

And in front of the eyes of so many individuals, which was a somewhat new sensation for me since in one life I was sick and in this life, when I went out, I disguised myself with some clothes or moved around in a place with fewer people. So facing these looks was something a little new, but I quickly got used to them and focused on hanging out with my brother and sister.

And soon we entered a more separate area of the gym, there was a large gate that led to an open area with several rooms.

And at the top of the gate before the entrance was written: "Selection Hall".

And when I went to enter, a guard stopped us and spoke.

"This is a place only for those who want to enter the gym, two of you are already inside so only the one in the middle can enter"

He spoke while looking at the small symbol on my brothers' chest, the Icer Academy symbol is in the shape of a small snake surrounded by small flakes of ice.

Of course, my brothers ended up frowning and when they were about to speak, I ended up stopping them, the guard wasn't much stronger than them, having the same base as my brother, but it wasn't good to start a fight especially in a place like academy...especially when I heard rumors that it is somehow linked to a force greater than the kingdom itself...although no one knows if it is true or not.

And I went ahead and spoke.

"I want to pass the evaluation process."

He looked at me and handed me a small token with the number 96 on it.

"The number will be called and the assessment will continue. Entry is now as a regular student, clubs or other processes will be seen afterwards. The assessment will be followed by a small knowledge test, test of the use and type of energies and test of the cultivation base."

I nodded and with his permission I went inside.

There were several students there, some standing and others sitting in a cultivation position on the floor or similar.

I went next to a small column and leaned lightly while I took out of my "space ring", from my palace, a small hood to cover my face and avoid being looked at for so long.

And as I heard the numbers being called I heard my name.

"96 enter the written test room"

Hearing the command I got up and entered the corresponding room.

Inside there were some tables with students already seated and the teacher sitting in what looked like an armchair.

He looked at me and I felt a strong pressure that reminded me of my uncle... but the look left after he saw the symbol on my token with the correct number, he threw a piece of paper at me and spoke directly.

"Answer the questions, a score of up to 750 is required as a basic cutoff. You have 25 minutes."

I agreed with him and sat in the only available chair.

And I started reading the questions.

The questions were quite varied, what is the principle of Qi, what types of basic energy does every cultivator start with, what are the basic pill classifications, for the spiritual beast vs. what was the main weakness.

And from that point onwards there were several similar questions, touching on the basics of cultivation and some other knowledge.

I didn't take long since I always loved reading and I read books not only from the mansion at home, but also several books that I had in the palace more than once and in 10 minutes I finished the test and handed it to the teacher and returned to the waiting area.

…

The next test was the Qi usage and handling test.

The room this time was a little different, they were isolated rooms with two artifacts shaped like spheres with small spaces as if there was a light below them.

On top of one he had written: "form something with your pure Qi"; "Put your Qi inside the artifact and create an element of your Dao."

To begin with, I decided to use the element. Most cultivators have 2 to 4 elements as their most common use and some could use a little of the others, to be honest, having more elements could be seen as positive by some theories and others. they would see it as something negative as it would make the cultivator waste time on increasing their own cultivation base and focused on training and understanding more than one type of energy...not to mention the future when it will become even more complex.

And as such I aimed to demonstrate the use of 3 elements, I placed my Qi la with both hands and inside the artifact, a ball of light, a small flame of fire and a small tornado of wind appeared inside the artifact.

After a while the artifact appeared to observe the form and potential of the energy while at the same time seeming to record them, and when a small light appeared. I went to the second artifact.

It looks like this I took a deep breath and placed my hand on it, initially focusing on making my Qi like thin and flexible threads and with them forming small images in the air, of course this in itself would draw attention and as such I planned to "pretend" that I was having difficulty and that I can't keep for long.

And when I was "tired" and the Qi constructs were dismantled and fell the artifact made the same green light below it.

And I went out demonstrating, as much as I could with my acting skills, a very tired way in which I leaned against the pillar taking a pill and recovering Qi, of course I actually did that but most of it was just pretend.

The rest time this time between tests was a little longer, also only almost 30 minutes to 1 hour that my name was called to test my cultivation base.
