Archipelago: the lost king
chapter 13 - Academy entrance

the two examiners were inner disciples of the north star academy. Within the north star academy, the student division was divided into three.

core disciple

inner disciple

outer disciple

outer disciples were the lowest level.once a disciple became a core disciple, they could become elders to contribute to the academy.

of course, to level up has difficult requirements, not infrequently from those who fail to pass the exam.

returning to the story, the two inner disciples were walking in the center of the city, the city lord, lord Renner greeted them personally.

"welcome sir in the spring city, I am honored to welcome you" Renner said.

Renner guided the two to a stage, leaving them both seated in luxurious seats.

"gentlemen, please sit down" Renner said.

the two sat down and looked towards the crowd of youths before them.

"miss Lilia, do you want to eat some fruit?" ask the man.

he offered some fruit to the beautiful Lilia, dressed in blue and white academy robes, and loose hair, adding to her beauty.

"just eat it yourself. Let's start the exam" Lilia said briefly.

"well Miss Lilia" said Hugo.

as per orders from Lilia, Hugo stood in the middle of the stage and began to make a Friday.

"the entrance exam for the northern star agreement will begin soon, every participant, please line up neatly for testing!" shouts Hugo.

the youths immediately marched following the instructions of Hugo, the rows of men and women separated.

Hugo and Lilia then stood up, testing the age of each participant's bones.

because, in this world, even young people may be over a century old, appearance is not a determinant of one's age.

"16 years, get away!"

"21 years, failed!"

"17 years, get away!"

"18 years, get away!"

the tests continued, of the participants, there were about 3000 who entered the second stage.

"it's time for the second test, each participant will be measured his level of strength. go ahead and measure in this crystal stone!" shouts Hugo.

a crystal stone was arranged on the table, it had a transparent and round shape, so beautiful.

a participant advanced, placed both his hands and channeled the energy in his possession firmly.

shua...

the crystal stone shook, bringing out a golden mist within it, slowly, a figure formed in the middle.

4 stars...

"4-star body formation! get away! next participant!" said Hugo.

the other youth immediately advanced, placed both of his hands on the crystal, and channeled his inner power into the crystal.

shua...

the crystal trembled, giving rise to a golden mist and forming another figure.

3 stars..

"3-star body formation! it failed! next participant!" shouts Hugo.

"so, it should be at least 4 stars huh?" thought Noran.

the other youths looked nervous and anxious, they realized if their current level was less than 4-star body formation.

meanwhile, others feel proud, because they have reached or even exceeded the specified level.

"who's next?" ask a young man.

"it was young master Reis!" said another young man.

"young master Reis? how much does it matter?" said youth 1.

"that must exceed 4 stars." said youth 2.

"of course, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, was destined to be a winner" said the young man 3.

"if only I had been born into a rich family." thought youth 1.

Reis walked onto the stage, his gaze upon the crowd of young men like staring at slaves, a condescending look.

"put your hand on the crystal" Hugo said.

"yes sir." replied Reis.

Reis put his hand on the crystal, his deep energy prrlan he injected.

shua...

the crystal trembled, giving rise to more golden fog. After a while, the fog gathered and formed a figure.

star 6...

"6-star body formation! what a good seed, you are talented! looks like our visit this time is quite lucky" said Hugo.

"hm, he is a good seed." said Lilia.

in Noran's mind, he felt awe, Lilia's beauty was so extraordinary, beautiful and cold, like a snowflower.

"who's he? it's pretty.." thought Noran.

"next participant!" said Hugo.

....

one by one the advanced youths tested their level of strength, many managed to escape, but not a few also failed.

Noran, who had reached the 4-star body formation level also passed.Now, the test still continued.

"stage two is complete. Now, stage three will take place.each participant is asked to face each other." said Hugo.

"each participant will climb the arena, only 3 people will be baqa to the academy" said Lilia.

"only three? isn't that too little?"

"it's gonna be hard."

'humph... People like you guys want to qualify for the academy? I, the young lord of a semi city lord, will escape and become a great person!' dengus Reis's.

"only three? it's gonna be hard, but, I'm gonna try as hard as I can." Noran thought.

"well, first place, young Miss Ellen against Dusan" Hugo said.

a beautiful girl, dressed in a beautiful red dress.Hair and pupils of the same color red mermawkannya elegant beautiful impression.

"young lady from Ronery's residence! how pretty!"

"not only beautiful, I heard that her power level was already at 6-star!"

"6 stars? isn't that the same as young master Reis?"

"this girl, just as I stole the limelight from me, I'm going to reply in the arena later." thought Reis.

the two saluted each other, then, quickly, Ellen moved towards Dusan, leaving an illusion of her being before Dusan.

"uh? illusion?! where's she?" dusan.

"behindyou!" said Ellen.

just as Dusan was about to turn his head, a fist floated swiftly towards him.

buakk....

dusan was thrown with a fist stu, making the fight end quickly.

"what's going on?"

"well, I don't know either."

"so fast!"

"remarkable!"

cheers rang out from the crowd of onlookers, meanwhile, Noran's mind went back to working hard.

"this girl is dangerous, her speed is incredible.also, the young master is strong as well.let's see, how many people are dangerous." thought Noran.

Noran looked at every pesrta that escaped, in his observation, there were at least 10 participants that he should be aware of. In addition to young miss Ellen and young master Reis, there were a total of 12 people he should be aware of.

"next participant, young master Reis against Hans!" said Hugo.

"it's time to show who's the winner" Reis thought.

he walked into the arena, standing facing his opponent, Hans.

"all right, are you ready?" ask Hugo.

"we are ready sir." said the two.

"alright, then, start the fight!" said Hugo.
