Chapter 20 - Ability testing (Anomaly?)

Next morning, I did my routine, and the Empress, with her maid, called me and soon arrive outside the Empress looks at me with aloof expression and lift me up as if i was a child

we flew through the air. And A carriage wasn't needed formality wasn't necessary except for formal occasions or visits to other kingdoms.

Yawning, the travel took about two hours or more. The academy had started a few days ago, and I was a transfer student. Saminah looked at me with mixed emotions as we flew, shook her head silently, and left after dropping me off at Eden Academy.

i stood there as if an country bumpkin that never seen The materials and looks of it wasn't really much modern but

It was huge—six buildings, each with eight floors. I gasped at a pink tree, its leaves falling gracefully. The view and air were incredibly refreshing. A fountain sat in the academy's center. The training grounds were ten times larger than our kingdom's (which were already quite large), and there was a stadium-sized arena for duels and junior testing.

Noticing the Empress was gone, I sighed. She'd grown colder since that day. I scratched my head, wondering why women's moods were so complex. Wanting to avoid wasting time, I went to the arena. A chubby, bald, white-skinned man with a beard that look likes waiting for someone

i arrive and taps his shoulded

He nodded, saying he needed to evaluate me.

I nodded and looked around. A beautiful girl with green hair and green eyes, radiating a hot-headed aura, waited impatiently. She sigh "Junior, This day have no manners making Seniors wait"she continued while staring to me

"but honestly Quite ,Promising." My eyes twitched. It wass still early; the academy will start in half an hour.

I inspected her closely and notice she is also a character in the story—Lovella, a side character crucial to the early and mid-game story. She is knows to be quite hot blooded and easily irritated i apologized with a polite smile and start walking in front of her.

Once everything is fine The Chubby old man gave a gesture to begin. And Before i knew it

She bombarded me with spells. I used the Grabbing Shallow technique, summoning twenty wooden swords to block. They were surprised of my techniques but shrugged it off, knowing cultivators often had bizarre techniques.

Lovella scoffed, unleashing more powerful ice and fire spells. I controlled two more wooden swords behind her, using One Sweep. The speed was fast, but not enough for her a 4-Star Mage. She deflected them easily, surprised by the speed, noting I was only at Qi Gathering.

After more exchanges, she overwhelmed me. I held off as long as possible, creating an opening. I poured all my Qi into One Sweep, catching her off guard and grazing her with a sword. She was surprised, nodding in approval. "Well, I guess this next generation will be interesting."she muttered

The chubby man, satisfied, said, "Not bad. You'll be in Class A." The classes were A class, B class, C class, and D class.

I smiled, nodding I needed to join Gab's class and be near with them to also make sure his growth will slow down as much as possible. I yawned, tired The fight was over since the class is about to start she left without another glance. And all was equal there are no lower class each class have it's own unique things and each Class have its heroines,and to prevent competition

They removed rankings in the leaderboard

Sitting on the ground i wait for the teacher to arrive

Minutes later, a beautiful woman appeared, her tight black dress showing off her curvy body. Her black eyes and jet-black hair were alluring. My jaw dropped. It was Lyra, the Class A professor. in The story said she was beautiful, but not to this extent—even the Empress could only compare.

Lyra, noticing my gaze, snorted coldly used in such stares"You're the transfer student?" She was used to men and women being seduced by her beauty.

I nodded. And since She was a 6-Star Mage—not someone to mess with. Composing myself

She gestures me to follow her delicate hand waving me to come with her

I followed her. We arrived just in time. The room had five rows of ten seats. My eyes twitched; the only seats left were behind the main character and Fiona. I saw another heroines: Irish, in the first row, and Fiona and Gab in the fourth.

Irish with Purple hair blue eyes and have a Energetic aura she stares at me with curiosity and anticipation

Lyra spoke, "Everyone, this is our transfer student. Introduce yourself."

I smiled calmly, "Everyone, I'm Marquel, a cultivator. Please treat me normally." i make sure that i sound like a normal student

No one paid much attention, seeing me as an average-looking student without a notable background. I sat down, wanting no more attention.

Meanwhile, from Gab's perspective:

EH? Gab's eyes widened in disbelief and confusion.While he can't see Someone far stronger than him would usually say,

"[You're still too weak to inspect]." But this time, it didn't work

He scratched his head is this a bug in the system? He thought he stares at The guy with nothing almost noticable beside his long hair that cascade over his shoulder

[SYSTEM!! DETECT ANOMALY!! YOU CAN'T INSPECT ANOMALY'S PROFILE]

He stopped inspecting and tried the system with others and just like he thought it worked he looked at his stats
