Shadow And System | Chapter 94. First Floor Exam
...Chapters 94. First Floor Exam....
After a long wait for the arrival of his Trial to begin. Finally, the tester came starting with a loud alarm sound and a welcome word after the alarm was turned off.
"I'm sorry it's been a long wait and now, the Tower Of Trial's enrolment time has ended and the exam will begin!"
After saying that, suddenly the door in the form of a large stone wall opened slowly up behind the figure of the examiner.
Understanding that, all Hunters were enthusiastic and prepared.
"I'll remind you again. This trial aims to test your abilities as a human if you only have a little luck and ability then, you will end up with serious injuries even death. Who would dare to take that risk? Please come with me! If not, go back to your world!" said tester.
Then, the examiner looked around at his surroundings where no Hunter had chosen to retreat and leave.
Then, the examiner connected his words.
"Well, if that's your decision. Thus, 500 Hunters will take part in the first stage examination!"
After that, the examiner turned his back on all the Hunters and moved his hands and feet to get ready to move.
Then, he began his steps which all the Hunters also followed including me.
Then, we walked slowly through the testing and in the middle, Felix noticed around him where he had to walk in a pile of Hunters.
"Dn ... The number of Hunters is not reduced. Though I wish there were some Hunters who gave up even a little bit" Felix complained.
Cindy and I just gave a little smile. But, out of it all. The steps of the examiner's path were getting faster even some were already running small.
"Is there something strange?"
"Why?" ask Cindy and Felix to look at me, too.
"The tester's path is getting faster. We also have to follow his speed."
Cindy and Felix suddenly looked at the direction where some of the Hunters in front of him had run but, the examiner was still walking.
That left Felix a little confused.
"Eh? Just the real one. How could he walk so fast?"
"If it were earth man then it would be impossible to however, he was not an earth man but rather a native of The Another Moon or the natives."
A moment later, the examiner introduced himself.
"Please pardon. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Sato, the examiner on the first floor. I'll take you to the second floor exam place."
Hearing that, the ninja-clothed Hunter questioned her.
"second? Then, what's the first floor exam?"
"While you're doing."
"What do you mean this time?" ask Hunter Ninja.
"Truly, the exam is very simple. You just have to follow me all the way to the second floor and this is the first floor exam."
Hunter ninja smiled happily. "So, is that all?"
"Yes. I can't tell you where or when you're going to arrive and your task just needs to follow me."
On the other hand, all of the Hunters who heard were confused.
"Eh? Already started?"
"So, this is part of the test."
....
Some comments continued to be made to the ears of Felix and Cindy.
"A strange dish" muttered Cindy.
"I'm sure this must be a test of endurance. Even so, this is not a problem for me. Whatever it is, I can definitely follow it," Felix continued.
If the distance traveled makes sense however, we basically do not know how far we should run and this also tests the strength and mentality of the Hunters.
Without me realizing it had been two hours of time passed where we just ran without a destination. There are some Hunters who have fallen but, there are also those who are still determined to run. Not only that, Sato Tester was getting faster and the distance between Hunter and himself was getting further and further.
On the other hand, Felix's run began to slow down and sweat where he was a little tired whereas, Cindy was still running as usual.
Seeing that, I also gave Felix mineral water while running.
"This is brother drink first!" I exclaimed as I gave Felix mineral water while running.
"Thank you" replied Felix, who received the water and rushed to drink it.
Then, I also gave the mineral water to Cindy and she happily accepted it.
"Thank you, Rizal."
Moments later, an oriental-faced young man drove near us on a skateboard.
"Hey, you have an interesting ability. What's yourname?" ask youth.
Felix, who saw the young man, was angry and upset.
"Hey, kid! Show a little respect to this first Trial!"
"What does that mean, uncle?"
"Why are you wearing a skateboard? That's Cheating his name!"
"Why cheat?" reply youth.
"Why did you say?! It's a test of endurance and it's against the rules. Do you understand?!"
Hearing that, Cindy and I sighed.
"Sister Felix, there are no such rules" I replied.
The young man and Felix turned to look at me.
"Huh?! Rizal, what are you saying?"
"The examiner just told us to follow him. That's all, there's no rule that says that."
"Oi, Rizal! Who are you on whose side?"
I also replied with a forced smile.
A moment later, the young man slowed down his skateboarding pace and aimed parallel to me.
"Hey, how old are you?" ask youth.
"18 years."
Hearing that, I heard Cindy muttering to herself. "18 years old, she is younger than me."
Despite hearing that, I did not respond so much to him.
"Hm ..."
After that, the Youth stopped and got off the skateboard. Then, catch a skateboard with one hand. After that, he ran beside me.
"Like his more comfortable just to run," said the young man.
"By the way, I'm Jung Wo Hoon. Hunter Rank A from South Korea. Greetings!"
"Yes, greetings too. I'm Rizal, Hunter Rank F of New Indonesia."
Hearing that, Jung Wo was surprised. "What's? Hunter Rank F's. Why do you have so much stamina? If Hunter Rank F is common then the first 30 minutes alone must have been unable to. Maybe you're a False Ranker?"
"No way, I'm not that kind of person," I replied with a big smile.
"Like you're an interesting Hunter. How about we be friends?" jung Wo said as he gave his hand to me.
I also took a hand and gave a smile. "Of course."
Jung Wo and I exchanged smiles.
After that, we ran along which the examiner Sato also accelerated his footsteps to make all the Hunters also increase his running speed.
And, it's been four hours since the test started and I estimate it's 80km. We don't know how far we have to run.
