Hero From The Dark Dimension
Chapter 13: Entering K.A.O
K.a.o Academy....
Registration has been completed, now Darius has become a candidate knight who will run the selection test. Raven had already offered to her master that she would make Darius a Knight Class S instantly, but Darius rejected her on the grounds...
"I want to try, how hard the exam is in this place."
"Sure, the knightly test of the present is not as hard as it used to be, sir," Inner Raven.
There, many of the tests that Darius passed and the grades he got were perfect. The entire knightly candidate felt incomparable to Darius. With the top rank as a knight candidate, Darius' graduation was guaranteed.
"What kind of test is this? it's not challenging, even I don't sweat" said disappointed Darius.
"Please to all participants/cry candidates who have passed the basic exam, to immediately prepare to take the field exam"
The announcement was heard by Darius.
"So everything I've been through was a basic test. All right, I'll follow the next stage, hopefully this one is more challenging," Darius inner.
Meanwhile, Raven felt worried for her master. It's been 30 minutes he's been pacing around in his office. He did not want anyone to hurt his master during the test.
"Come on, I should be sure of you. But still, I don't want anyone to make your skin scuffed or scratched. I will beat anyone who does that" he said.
He was still pacing back and forth in the office until the announcement of the contest exam was announced. Raven immediately entered the K.A.O test ground.
There are so many spectators. The public is allowed to see this contest test for free, in order to show the ability of the knight candidates. This exam can take 8 hours per session. Each session consists of 20 participants who will be tested. The match test will end after all participants who pass the basic selection have participated in this test.
Today, about 300 knight candidates will undergo a test of contention. Due to the large number, a 1-5 test match session takes up to a week. It made Darius tired of waiting for his turn to arrive. Session 5-10 is over. K.A.O has announced all the names of the candidates for knights who graduated and the candidates for knights who will fight tomorrow.
On the list of the knight candidates who will fight tomorrow, Darius' name is written. Now that Darius regained his spirit, he could not wait for his turn. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Raven made breakfast for her master. It cuts faster than usual.
Breakfast is available much earlier than usual. Darius also realized that. The taste of Raven cuisine is much more delicious than yesterday. Raven also provided po*ti***on heal for her master. Raven's worry was felt by Darius.
"You're really protective of me, don't worry. I won't lose" said Darius.
"I will not accept if anyone makes the skin of the master blisters, even if only a little," replied Raven.
"You're still the same as you used to be, I'm glad to know. But trust this master of yours, a scratch or scrape can't beat me."
Raven nodded, silent.
"But still, sir. I don't accept if anyone scratches you, "inner Raven, she's really protective of loyalty to her master.

The test time has arrived....
The match test was conducted with an event guide and there were four supervisors. Darius was still waiting for his turn to arrive. While waiting, he watched another participant's test match. He was attracted to one of the long-switched female participants. Her name is Hilda Dragnar, derived from the dragon race.
it can combine strength as well as speed well. Plus, he had a fire elemental. That adds to his superiority.
"Miss woman," inner Darius. responded to Hilda.
The character of Hilda is very unique. Red-haired according to the color of the scales covering his body. It also has a pair of wings that symbolize strength. The dragon race is very interesting. In the test, it only takes 40 seconds to win. It's short for a fight.
second match...
The audience is so good. Knowing that the one who was going to fight was a genius Elementalia.
"From the Elementalia race. Shen Ventorian, a great Elementalist from the city of Tideo," said the host of the exam.
Elementalia was a race that resembled humans, their superiority was to have elemental power within them from the moment they were born. Although it resembles humans, but there are still distinctive features in them that are very visible. That is the symbol engraving marks all over their bodies, the carvings that symbolize the basic elements in themselves.
Elementalia did not have an adequate physique, yet their magic was incredible
On the other hand, the one who would be his opponent was a hunter of the Zoan race. A leopard man, Garzan Wildway.
"He was the most skilled hunter of the Curtisian city. Has won the Gladiator Invandara competition three times in a row," explained the host, showing the superiority of Garzan.
The exam supervisor came between the two of them. Asking their readiness to fight, the two of them nodded.
"With this, I declare that you are ready" said the supervisor.
The counter-test supervisor took ten steps back from them. Then prepare to shoot the gun into the sky as a sign of the start of the counter-test.
"Test matches will start in 1... 2... 3.." 3...."
Dor's!
The match test began, beginning with scenes of mutual lunge between the two of them. Shen as the Elementalia of the wind, pushes Garzan backwards. A powerful wind blew Garzan's body into the wall.
"Sadly.., this is what makes me upset against a race like you" said Garzan, with a smile. Like enjoying a fight.
Shen found his cheek injured, apparently Garzan managed to injure it before it hit the wind.
"You're also a bitch, let's enjoy this fight" Shen replied.
The fight became more brutal. Shen activated Wind Protector in the form of a tornado that surrounded him. To protect her from sudden shock. Garzan uses Hunter Vision which makes his movements difficult to predict.
Amidst Shen's confusion it was hard to see his opponent's movements. Garzan was as fast as lightning, pushing Shen out of his wind field. The fierce fight continues. The two of them clashed with intelligence and accuracy to attack each other. They have both fought so far.
39 Minutes later....
Both sides are weak. Their fight destroyed half the arena. At the last moment, they beat each other. They kept hitting each other, until one of them fell.
"This fight was won by, Shen Ventorian!"
The spectators cheered. Shen came out as the winner. The Elementalians who witnessed this were so proud of Shen that both of Shen's parents were also in the stadium, watching their son's struggle. Shen celebrated his victory, his opponent slumped on the ground slowly waking up in a stagger.
"It sucks, I lose" said Garzan.
"You fought well, I'm happy to be your opponent in this test match," Shen extended his hand.
With a smile, Garzan welcomed Shen's helping hand. Then they embrace each other. All the spectators applauded for Shen's victory.
"You're great, Shen."
"What a pride of the Elementalia race, you're great."
Shen was showered with praise. While he helps Garzan to walk.
"I really want to fight a shitty guy like you again" Garzan said.
"I'll look forward to it" Shen replied.
...**************...
Third match....
"Next, who will fight in this round is Darius Hunt against Agni Dragnar. In the hope that both parties will prepare, we give you 15 minutes to prepare" explained the host.
In the preparation room, Darius already felt very prepared. He came out of the room to breathe air for a moment before facing this fight. Accidentally, he meets Hilda. It seemed that Hilda was being together with someone who seemed to be one race with her. Hilda seemed very encouraging to that person.
"You're sure to win, sis, no one's up against you here" Hilda said cheering the person with her.
"That's for sure, I'll show the power of the dragon race to my opponent and to the entire Invandara society who witnessed this match."
Darius heard all of that, unintentionally. Apparently, that person was the older brother of Hilda. Appearing envy in the mind of Darius, he longs for togetherness with his sister. If only Drake was here with him, he would have heard the voice of the brother cheering him on.
"Make me envious only," said Darius.
Preparation time is over, it's time for a test match...
"Alright, on my right side is a brave human race that went viral for its actions, defeating Hydra with a single strike. Darius Hunt!"
The guide introduced Darius. The entire audience immediately nodded. Looking at the knight who saved them from the threat of Hydra, it was now present in the arena.
"Hunt's last name" as I recall, the man who bears that name is a royal descendant of King Drake Hunt."
"Noble Hunt is famous for their magic, but I don't feel any magic aura on him. Could he be hiding it?"
"So he's a "Hunt" "
The whole audience is talking about it. Meanwhile, the show host was a bit confused. In the data he received, Darius was the human race. But Darius has horns and hands like claws like monsters. This made the host wonder.
"Are you really human?" ask the host of the show to Darius, pointing towards Darius' horn.
"Of course, I doubt myself," unsatisfactory answer.
The show's host ruled that out. Then introduce the person who will be Darius' opponent. A male dragon from Arcmare is a remote area in Invandara. He had already conquered five ferocious monsters by himself.
"Let's welcome Agni Dragnar!"
The opponent showed himself, Darius was rather surprised. It turned out that his opponent was the one who was interrupted by Hilda a moment ago. Apparently he was Agni Dragnar, Hilda's older brother.
Meanwhile, Hilda along with her racemate named Jivan was sitting in the audience seat. Watching her brother who was about to fight in the arena.
"Sir Agni will definitely win easily" said Jivan. Hilda smiled hearing that.
"Of course, because brother is stronger than me" Hilda responded.
The examinee came between the two participants who were about to fight.
"You ready?" ask the supervisor.
They both nodded.
"Well, the test will start in a count. 1.... 2... 3.." 3..."
Dor's!
The match also began. Agni immediately charged at Darius quickly. With just one punch, Agni whose intention was to crash even bounced out of the stadium.
BLUAARR...!!!
A loud bang is heard. All the spectators were astonished, the mighty Agni had just crashed far away. Hilda could not believe what she was witnessing, there was no way her brother would lose so quickly.
"Eh? what's a blow that's too hard?" Darius himself felt confused, he did not expect the impact would be like that
"What's going on?! where did Agni go?!" surprise event host.
Surveillance drones found Agni lying 500 meters away from the stadium. They watched it on a large screen that was displayed in the test match stadium. Shock and disbelief filled the nuances in the current test stadium.
As Agni regained his senses, he rose from a sprawling position and flew quickly, returning to the stadium. His body was bleeding from Darius' attack.
"Sister..," Hilda was unable to say, seeing her brother who was severely injured in such a short time.
In a desperate situation, Agni forced out Agni's Dawn Blade. The lava sword he used to slaughter monsters 12 years ago.
He had not expected to meet an opponent this strong.
"It seems I've underestimated you too much, but this time you're the one who will lose" Agni said, she gasped a little.
Agni's lava sword started to light up, with a high speed that gave rise to a fierce gale that made the entire audience shout. Agni again attacked Darius.
"YAHHHH!!!!" shout Agni.
The slash almost reached Darius. But for the second time, Agni bounced far out of the stadium due to a blow Darius. His sword was also broken by a fist hit from Darius. The entire audience watching this match could only be silent.
They just witnessed a madness. Someone who defeated a dragon in a short period of time. Seen on the big screen, Agni who was lying unconscious.
"The winner is Darius Hunt!"
The entire audience cheered in amazement at Darius's prowess. The word "great" alone is not enough to reflect the figure of Darius Hunt. While Darius scratched his head that did not itch, because he did not expect to win so soon.
Hilda was now silent, as if everything she witnessed was just an impossible dream. He had just seen his brother defeated in less than a minute. It's impossible for him.
"T. is impossible, k.sister..."
He could say nothing more, all he could do was lament the defeat of his brother.
Seriate....
