The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 104: First Year of Examination

The day of the exam came and now we all gathered at the A-class training ground. We are all waiting for Mr. Alan to arrive.

"Are you nervous, Rid?" asked Noa.

"No, you're a nervous time" I said.

"I don't either, anyways Mr. Alan says this exam is similar to the second stage entrance exam. So it's likely that this test is about destroying the dolls again. I wouldn't be nervous if I had to do that again" Noa said.

"If the exam was a student fight, would you be nervous?" I asked.

"Not really," said Noa.

"But if in the test you have to fight Lillian how ?," I asked.

"E-eh yeah that, su-suah also yes," said Noa.

"That means you're nervous when you face such a test" I said.

"What are you, Rid ? If you face a test which you have to fight the ice princess, what will you do?," asked Noa.

"She faces the test normally. Want to fight Irene or the others is not a problem," I said.

"What is your nature to be cold as well after dating an ice princess?" said Noa.

After we had a chat, Mr. Alan was accompanied by 4 staff members.

"Good morning everyone, it looks like you are excited to face your first exam at this academy" said Mr. Alan.

"This time I am accompanied by 4 friends who will help me in preparing and assessing the exam all of you," said Mr. Alan.

The four staff lowered their heads for a moment as a greeting.

"It looks like there is no introduction from each of the staff but yes, that's it" I thought.

"Then we start the exam. I'll explain about the test first. The first test will be divided into 4 exams for 4 days. It is Monday and the first day of the exam and will be completed on Thursday. For Friday, the academy will be entertaining you and you will start going in to study again on Monday" said Mr. Alan.

The students who heard about it were also very happy.

"Fum's holiday ? it means we will get 3 days off this Sunday" said Noa who was also happy to hear about it.

"The first test of each day will not last long even I think before the noon break is also finished. So after the exam is over, you are allowed to go straight home" said Mr. Alan.

The students who heard it were happy again.

"Hurry home ? even this week we got home fast," said Noa who returned happy to hear about it.

"But, since you're home early before the break, you won't get a free lunch from the academy" Alan said.

The students who were initially happy to hear it also became moody, as well as Noa.

"And keep in mind, daily matches are also eliminated during the mid-test. So for this Sunday you will not have any daily matches and will reopen next Monday" said Mr. Alan.

We also nodded at Mr. Alan's explanation.

"Go back to the explanation of the exam, as I said earlier if this test is divided into 4 times the test and as I said before if for the first test it will get 2000 points. But these 2000 points are the total points you will get if you complete all four exams this time. The points are 200 points if you complete the test on the first day, 300 points on the second day, 500 points on the third day and 1000 points on the fourth day. If you successfully complete the exam on this first day, you will instantly gain 200 points and gain access to take the second day exam. But if you don't finish the first day, you won't get any points and can't take the second day and so on. Likewise with the other day's exam," said Mr. Alan.

The students who heard the explanation about it also began to fidget because there was a knockout on this first exam.

"Since I have already explained about the exam, how about we just start for the first day of the exam?" asked Mr. Alan.

-

"Alright, then please go ahead first, Rid," said Mr. Alan.

"Wait a minute, sir. Explanation about the test this time I do not know what to do, why suddenly I was told to go forward first," I said.

"Later I'll tell you the explanation. You go ahead first" said Mr. Alan.

"All right," I said.

I also advanced to the middle of the training ground.

"It turns out to be true, the test is the same as the second stage entrance exam that is destroying a wooden puppet,"

"Then the test will be easy" said the students who chatted with me.

"But the doll you're about to destroy is different than it was during the entrance exam. Let's bring up the dolls" said Mr. Alan.

Mr. Alan and the four other staff members took an object from their pockets and it turned out to be an Artifact.

~Wood Creation Magic, Fighting Wooden Puppet~

Mr. Alan and the other four staffs created a lot of wooden dolls in front of me. But there was something different about the wooden doll before. The wooden doll in front of me held different weapons and each of them also held a weapon that was fed by five different basic elements of electricity, water, fire, earth and wind.

"A fight, huh?" I thought.

The disciples who had previously considered this test easy because they only had to fight wooden puppets, suddenly became agitated.

"You have to destroy all these wooden dolls within 2 minutes. Hmmm why did your reaction become like that ? didn't you guys just say this was gonna be easy?" asked Mr. Alan.

The students who were asked were silent.

"That's a good thing I'm pointing you out first, Rid. At least they can learn the pattern of the puppets' attacks against you. You don't have a problem, do you go forward first ? after all you were ranked 1st during the entrance exam and again now you are also ranked 1st for the student who collected the most points in the first year. So you shouldn't protest, right?" asked Mr. Alan.

"All right, I don't have a problem with that" I said.

"Then, the test for the first day begins!!," said Mr. Alan.

-

The wooden puppet also started to advance to attack me. Most of the ones who came forward to attack me were wooden puppets that used melee weapons like swords and spears, while those puppets that wore ranged weapons were at the back.

"I'll get this over with quickly" I said.

~Flame Sword Art, Great Flame Slash~

I launched a huge fire slash towards the dolls and they were burned. There were no wooden puppets left in front of me.

"What the fuck ? he finished the wooden puppets in one attack?" said the shocked students who saw me.

"Good job, Rid. You successfully completed the exam this first day. Because you directly destroyed the dolls in one attack before the dolls started attacking you means that the other students cannot see the pattern of movement of the wooden doll dong. That's why I gave you your first turn" said Mr. Alan.

"It's a shame, sir. You can't use me for your purposes" I said.

"Well whatever, you pass and can take the second day exam. You please step back, Rid. Then, the next turn, please go forward, Irene," said Mr. Alan.

I retreated and returned to the side of the training ground, while Irene advanced to the center of the training ground. I also met with Irene.

"Excite, Irene," I said.

"Yes, Rid," said Irene.

"Hey, Rid, Irene, don't be so friendly in the exam" said Mr. Alan.

"I'm not friendly, sir. I just encourage him," I said.

The students on the side of the training ground laughed.

-

Then Irene also managed to complete the exam this first day, as well as Charles, Chloe, Enzo and Noa. Kotaro also successfully completed this exam. And until finally all students in class A also managed to complete this exam even though some of them were exhausted or injured due to attacks from wooden dolls.

"It is only fitting that the next exam will be conducted tomorrow because it seems like the academy knows that not all students can continue the exam if the exam is continued today. The academy is apparently quite understanding as well," I thought.

"Congratulations that you all have made it through the test on this first day. Please go straight home to recover for those of you who are exhausted or who want to practice again, this training place can be directly used for those of you who want to keep practicing in this training place. For those of you who are injured, please go directly to the middle building of the 2nd floor to request recovery" said Mr. Alan.

We were all getting ready to disperse. Then Mr. Alan continued his conversation.

"See you on the second day of the exam tomorrow. Keep in mind, the level of difficulty for the second day exam will be more difficult than the first day exam. For the second day exam tomorrow, it looks like some of you will fail" said Mr. Alan.
