The evaluation test had to happen in one day only, there was no time left and it usually happened this way, it felt like the seventh king and the higher authorities of Delwias Island couldn't wait to get rid of all the lowlife participants.
Ethyl felt a bit of gratitude towards that mysterious creepy man, but she couldn't make herself expressingly say to him.
She just recognised and placed him in the category of higher competitors, he certainly is one of those with magnificent powers but his intentions weren't that clear to her.
Jivan had the power required for the leveling up system, yet here he was growing in Delwias Island till this age, Ethyl was not sure if she had to confront him with her thoughts and that's why she stayed away from him while his eyes were glued towards him the whole time.
When all participants finished the first part of the practical exam there were only 100 of them, and basically they all passed the second part .
It was a small amount compared to the number of the contestants that joined in the morning which was 6 hundreds.
Another highest ranked mage showed up when the test ended, he looked more young than the other mages that were responsible for the other test but his face was very cold, he had a scar on his face right below his eye and he had missing tooth in the front of his smile.He was almost thirty but looked very scary .
Most of the contestants were terrified by the look of his face.
The moment he stood in front of them, the rain fall was at its peak which gave a melancholic look to the scenery.
Ethyl smiled when she saw most of the contestants scared and she thought to herself that they don't even deserve to be here in the first place.
The mage responsible for the test was named 'Eagle' because he once was one of the best hunters in Delwias Island before leveling up. The scar on his face was caused by him hunting a tiger when he was 10 years old and since then people admired his exquisite talents until he became a higher ranked mage.
" Huh! your number is higher then the one i anticipated, i think that they went so easy on you, are you happy by that?"
He glared at one of the participants who were standing closer to him and said:" Are you happy by this result?"
The participant nodded with his head without saying a word to him, Eagle just smirked then said:" Well, that only will rise the amount of dead people around here"
The contestants were so shocked to the point where they all just stared at him in silence, both of fear and confusion was spreading among them, but the silence was the worst part.
Eagle knew the impact of his words on them and that's why he said:" I am not asking you to kill each other on the last exam, don't worry!...but death is an inevitable result of this test "
One of the contestants said with a shaken voice:" Are you going to kill us, sir!"
" Your result will…you all know that the last test is going to be a competition between you, well…you will fight each other in five minutes round, just five minute, if you win, then congratulation on your leveling up….If you loose, well ….we are going to get rid of you… those who don't finish the fight in five minutes are eliminated too…people who got this far of the evaluation test always show a tendency to be rebellious and that's why this law was created"
Another contestant said with a face filled with regret that he got this far:" Can i just withdraw right now, sir!"
"Once the rule is shown, there is no withdrawing acceptable, you will fight as your life was depending on it "
He was not joking or just saying it for the sake of it, no one exactly knew about the evaluation test that much and once he came back to tell them they just failed in the first or the second test.
One contestant was whispering in the ear of her friend but Ethyl heard them:" They can't do thing, trust me, i have never heard about such a thing, my brother leveled up last year and i don't think that this is the case, he probably want us to be scared"
Ethyl smirked when she heard what she said, and even pretended that she didn't hear that.
All the contestants were in a state of confusion, Eagle said then:" Well, let's' start the last part of the annual evaluation, i don't wish you luck and that's a fact"
The contestants after that were divided into two groups alphabetically, the ranking from the measurement room was not official yet and they wanted to give equal chance to all of them to seek winning.
Most of them didn't know the others' ranking because they didn't think that this would matter, and a lot of them regretted that.
Ethyl and Jivan were not worried about that, they were the high ranked among them.
" Number 6 and number 583…to the arena"Eagle said. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovelfire.net
Everyone started to look in all directions because to them there was no arena there.
Eagle hit his forehead with his palm then said:" yeah …totally forgot…"
He snapped his finger and out of nowhere a moderate sized arena appeared in front of them, a wall of all shades of blue appeared in front of them, it looked very resistant to any hit from divine energy, it looked more like the energy Jivan summoned when he healed Isiah and unlocked his divine energy.
But Eagle didn't have much trouble like Jivan. Jivan envied that responsible for his power yet he felt very proud of himself because he could do what no one else did in this region, he used magic from another region and summoned its divine energy which was impossible to the others.
"I don't have all day, now…the first combat…START ''Eagle said with a sarcastic look on his face .
