The Reincarnators
chapter 21: special test

2 Months had passed since kazuto and the others had entered the academy, kazuto had made some friends not only from their generation but also among the upperclassmen, one of the upperclassmen he became acquainted with was the 7th chair of the elite council, arthur palentina, then chairman of the osis khan smith, who was the, he also finds out that Lousse is one of the elite councillors and it turns out that he is in the 2nd seat stating that he is the second strongest student in the academy who surprises kazuto because he is as strong lousse was only in second place, which made him wonder what kind of person occupied the first place.

"congratulations for having completed the exam, for this time I have an announcement for all of you," said professor sophia.

"there will be a fighting tournament that will be attended by you new students" said professor Sophia.

"this test can only be followed by a few of you who were selected through a selection test" said professor sophia.

"then what kind of test is a professor, is that maybe the written test we did before, ?" tanyakanya.

"no, the test had absolutely nothing to do, if it was used to select the disciple who would enter the tournament then the disciple who had a good academy would have the advantage, if it was used to select the student who would attend the tournament, we will do a monster hunt with a team that you choose yourself, the team must have a minimum of 2 members and a maximum of 5 members, he said, and the 8 people who earned the top spot on their team would get the chance to become the participants of the tournament that would be held on the podium and would be witnessed by the entire population of the hexion kingdom," obviously to all the students there.

"does that include the royal family who will see our fight, ?" ask one of the students who raised their hand.

"that's right, because it gives you your best performance" said professor Sophia, who left the class and allowed other students to decide which team they were going to make.

"oi kazuto, how about we become 1 team," ren bargained to kazuto.

"of course, how about you katia, do you want to be a part of my team," Kazuto bargained to katia who was convinced that katia would join his group.

"sorry kazuto, but I've chosen the team I'm about to enter" said Katia who politely declined kazuto's offer, saying, kazuto himself is quite surprised if katia joins another team instead of joining his team and ren.

"yes, it's okay, hopefully not to meet at the tournament" said Kazuto, who gave a good-bye smile to Katia, who was away with his team-mates.

"good bye," said Katia who waved her hand at kazuto.

"it was rather unexpected, I thought he would join, what do you think kazuto, ?" asked ren who was as surprised as kazuto, he felt that with the three of them they would easily get first place, he felt, moreover, kazuto has a peer relationship with katia as an adventurer but currently she is rejecting kazuto's offer.

"i think he has a reason why he joined a team other than ours" Kazuto told ren.

"then how, are we doing a 2-person team or looking for another member, ?" ask ren to kazuto.

"no, we're both enough, let's practice" said Kazuto who went to the training ground to train his skills.

"oh, ok," said he who followed kazuto and trained with him.

then the day that the test had arrived, the teachers escorted the disciples towards the forest filled with monsters for the test they were about to perform.

"alright, as we have said before we will begin our test, please get together with your teammates," said the professor, and the students began to gather with their colleagues, kazuto along with ren and formed a team of 2 people, then astra who grouped with the top 10 ranked students and their own team number reached a maximum of 5 people, katia herself also formed a 5-member team with one of them coming from another class.

"it's fine without wasting any more time, this test I declare begins," said the professor who started their test, and after that the students immediately ran towards the forest hunting down and killing the most monsters within 3 hours.

"alright, ren, are you ready for a relentless fight, ?" ask kazuto.

"yes, I've trained hard for today, throw as much as you can I'm ready to fight everything" explains ren who seemed to have prepared everything.

"alright then, let's get started," said kazuto who activated his blue magic mode and ran away leaving ren.

[the announcement of a stay of 2 hours is currently the team that leads is an astra team with 60 points, followed by a katia team with 44 points, then a kazuto team with 40 points,] said a voice telling all participants about the points they got.

"good, let's keep it up" said one of Astra's teammates who had just killed the goblin.

in another location

"hey you heard that" said one of Katia's colleagues.

"you're right, we're great" he said, holding hands with their friend while jumping up and down.

"what's the matter Miss Carnatia, you look unsettled, ?" tanyakanya.

"i'm fine Miss Silvie, I just feel like something's wrong" explained Katia with the results they heard, she knew what kazuto was like more than anyone in this academy, therefore he was sure that if Kazuto must have prepared a plan to win this match even with the lack of members, he was such a person.

"please don't focus on the other team, and focus on your own team, miss Karnatia" said silvie.

"well, forgive me," said Katia who went looking for more monsters to kill.

ren and kazuto.

"ren, get ready," cried kazuto who was escorting the monsters towards ren and ren prepared his gautlet and poured magic into it.

"aaaahhh" he shouted and destroyed the monsters.

"well go on," said kazuto who ran again.

[the announcement of 1 hour stay is currently the team that leads is the astra team with 90 points, followed by the Kazuto team with 84 points, then the katia team with 70 points,] said a voice telling all participants about the points they got.

"what, how did they catch up, ?" ask one of the astra colleagues who heard the notification if the 2-man team led by Kazuto followed and occupied the 2nd place with a total of 6 points below them.

"we speed up, come on" said Astra who immediately killed all the monsters and moved to another place.

at katia's place.

"no way, how can you, ?" ask katia's colleagues with their ranking shifted with the kazuto team.

"they followed but how, ?" ask the others.

"miss carnatia, do you know about this, ?" silvie asked who was as surprised as the others.

"yes" said Katia briefly.

"then do you know what he's doing, ?" ask his partner wrong.

"unfortunately I don't know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" said Katia, who apologized for the situation.

"no problem, we just stay after them, let's hurry, we move," said silvie who sped up his movements and went to look for a herd of monsters to kill.

we're back to our two.

"get ready ren, they come," said kazuto who ran with the monster behind who was immediately killed by ren.

"all right, let's continue" said Kazuto, who kept running and gathering monsters to kill.
