The Eternal War Kasarewang
Standardization Test (1)

Aster's mouth continued to mutter immediately disappeared already when he saw Harsa lying limp on the line of the hospital bed. “Sa! Geez, are you okay?”

“Uahh!” Harsa was surprised to be half asleep. “Heii! Ter! Brother!”

“Come, wake. No more time to be quiet.” Adi said firmly. “Later late.”

The three of them went to the Ministry of Public Affairs building near the square. There, the children of the standardization examinees had already gathered. They are divided into several colorful mosaic portals according to the date of applying for the standardization exam.

When setting foot in the queue, the children in line immediately realized the whereabouts of Aster and Harsa. Some of them were whispering and some immediately put on a dislike expression. Harsa let out a long sigh, while Aster started squeezing his fingers.

Adi was about to open his mouth, but Harsa cut him off.

“Yes, sis. I-i understand. Not all kasarewang like that. I also believe it because I saw Adi's brother, papa, and Adi's friends. Therefore, I intend to take this exam. I will not be the same as those people and judge all Kasarewang the same.” Harsa said firmly.

Adi couldn't answer. He only took out one pair of swords by activating one of the rings in his hand. Adi held out the twin swords to Harsa. “This is for you. Birthday gift that time.”

The twin swords were only one meter long. Both handles are made of finely polished mahogany wood. The two handles are attached to each other. Once held, Harsa knew there were electromagnetic waves pulling from each other from the two blades. The twin blades were inserted into one sheath made of the same material as the handle. The sword looked simple, yet quite heavy. When Harsa pulled the handle of his sword, two blades made of deer antlers appeared out. The two blades had a much darker brown color than the previous horn colors. However, like the elements used by the deer captured that day, there are some patterns such as yellow crystals that glow dimly.

“In it there is a crystal that stores magnetic spells. You can wear it by inserting physis into the blade of the sword.” Adi Clear.

“Wow, thanks, sis…. This is my birthday present?” asked Harsa still amazed. This was the first time he had held a gun in his entire life.

“Ya.”

“Can I wear this on the test?” ask Harsa doubtfully. He did not see the other participants carrying weapons.

“Yes, of course. Others will bring it.” Adi said win. “But of course for practice exams, not written.”

“Still a lot, Brother.” Answer Harsa sincerely.

“Do not envy again if I love all kinds to Aster, yes, because the price is quite expensive.”

“I'm not envious, really. I'm just..” Harsa's words point missing after capturing Aster's figure. It was fortunate that his friend was unaware of the conversation between the two of them as he was busy memorizing.

Adi glared at Harsa with a reddened face. “Then don't use it to human of course.”

“That's! No need to talk about it, I know.”

“Yes, don't forget to do your best for your test. I won't press to pass, but hopefully pass ya!”

The participants were divided into rooms containing dozens of children. They all sat at a closed table. On the table, there is an answer sheet and a stamp for writing. The sound of tuk-tuk-tuk stamp from other examinees is the same as distributing it with the sound of typing a laptop while taking the exam through a computer.

Harsa can answer questions about general knowledge easily. Simply put, these questions remind Harsa about the problems of elementary school examinations. Maybe, even easier than that. The second part begins when questions arise about the Kasarewang Royal family and the regulations in Drestha City. Harsa's forehead began to wrinkle while concentrating on remembering the material she brushed for approximately two months. He finished the second part in cold sweat.

Go to part three. Questions about magic. Harsa begins by looking for questions she can answer such as dragon habitat, and dragon names, and…. Harsa started reading the questions from the beginning again. His hands started to stick out from sweat.

The habitat of the horned horse.. Unicorn right? Although Harsa can guess the names of the animals from the legends he knows, Harsa cannot explain where they came from, what their mastery of the edict was, and how the ecosystem of the animals lived. Worse, in the final question, Harsa was asked to describe the entire appearance, strength, food, and shelter of the fiery lion. Harsa had never thought of that name before.

Harsa did not feel the time of the exam being completed so quickly. He answered questions about potluck magic beasts. Most of the answers are his own imagination. The inspectors picked up their papers when the sound of a bell marking the end of the test came from a agate installed in front of the room. While collecting the papers, they distributed small papers of different colors to each examinee. Harsa gets the red color.

“That color determines who you will be taking the practice exam with. Immediately split yourself in groups!” Their test supervisor's orders.

Harsa let out a sigh of relief finding herself in one group with Aster, but apparently not with her other friends. The three Kasarewang looked at them with different expressions. One female Kasarewang with long pink hair and light green eyes smiled sweetly, one male Kasarewang looked at Harsa suspiciously, and the other Kasarewang looked lethargic.

“Halo, my name is Rucira.” Kasarewang said with pink hair while extending his hand to Harsa with a childish smile. “I heard we were both the youngest participants of the year. Greetings, yes.”

“Greetings.” Harsa said he welcomed the hand. “I Harsa.”

Furthermore, he also slashed his hand at Aster, but his male friend pulled Rucira's hand. “What the hell? Don't be so friendly. This is just one test.”

Both Aster and Rucira were too shocked to respond to the boy's words. Meanwhile, Harsa was busy restraining her anger. Meanwhile, the other boy still refused to join their small conversation and still put on a lethargic face.

Their brief introductions were cut by their examination supervisors. “After grouping, you will be transferred to the respective group area where there is one wild magic beast that you must tame. They're dangerous, but don't worry. There'll be an exam supervisor making sure you're okay…. And also determine whether you will graduate or not. Your job is only one. Each magical beast has its own power and uniqueness. Therefore, to face each magical beast in different knowledge. Once you enter here, you must first defend against the magical beasts for the appointed time, and if possible, tame the magical beasts. Injuring or killing the magical beast is highly discouraged if you want to pass. Is there a question?”

“How long is that specified time?” ask one of the children.

“Will be determined by your supervisor later.”

Without any other questions, each group was forced to step in through the portal. The group of Harsa and Aster enter a wilderness. Both Harsa and Aster thought they were in a mountain in the middle of the city of Drestha, but the reactions of the other group members looked different.

“No way... We are not sent outside the wall, right?” ask the man who looked lethargic. He pointed at the wide high wall that far overcame the trees and houses of the city of Drestha.

“Crazy for you, huh? It can't be! We must be on the edge in town!” kasarewan said that stopped the greetings from Rucira.

“What? If here, it means the magic creature that we have to face that was in the matter?” asked Rucira with trembling. “Kriya! I'm scared!”

Kriya, Kasarewang the man who became his friend immediately stood beside Rucira. “Do not be afraid I will-”

His words were cut by the sound of a loud roar that could crush the eardrum. Fortunately both Harsa and Aster had scratched the physis in their ears. The ground where they stood until it shook violently.

“Aaaa!” Rucira shouted in fear.

Undeniably, Harsa also began to feel tense.

“Heii! Don't be afraid! I'm here!” A strange voice sounded from the top of the tree. One of the royal soldiers sat on the tree trunk above them leisurely. “I will assess your test and will go down there if anything happens! You guys have to face the magic beasts that are around here until I say ‘Desay’! You ready, right?”

Without waiting for their answer, the examinee easily decided for himself. “Siap. Exam, start!!”
