Chapter 54 - The Academy is here

On the said floor the Fangra noticed something really strange the instant they walked in the otherwise simple looking normal door of the floor. The area was only as big as a normal house although it was supposed to be land similar to size as a continent. In the small floor there was only one thing sticking out of the otherwise empty room- a pedestal with a single orb positioned on it. The Fangra were going to seal their fate for the near and far future

"What is this?" Alya asked as she looked at the weird water sphere

"I have no idea but it looks suspicious so don't touch it" Cinister said as he started looking around the room for any clues

Then in that moment Yoake came in the room looking beat up from a battle

"Yake is that you?" Cinister said with a surprised tone in his voice

"For the last time it's Yoake not Yake get it right" he said as he holstered the spear on his back

"So why are you here?" Ragna chimed in as he let his guard down

"Well Allen said I should train in the Academy and that it would 'Help me evolve'" Yoake replied with a confident smirk on his face

As they were going to question the newly arrived person, a woman with a blue school uniform featuring a symbol depicting a book on the back of it entered the room. Her height was well above average with long black hair reaching her knees and piercing dark red eyes but the most distinguishable feature about her character was the long sniper that was strapped on her back.

Ragna decided to pull out his weapon but as soon as he stood in his guard she had already taken out her sniper and fired a bullet towards him. In the next moment the sword was shattered to pieces by a bullet but miraculously Ragna didn't even have a scratch on him. 

"What the?" Ragna was said while shaking and still pondering on what had happened just now

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Cinister asked with a hint of fear in his eyes

"I am the Student Council President of The NAOTYAT also known as The Academy, Marilin Evernight I will be your humble instructor for this test and I won't tolerate any foolishness" she said as she blew out the smoke of her sniper

 "So what is the test?" Yoake stepped up and asked as he pulled out his sphere from his back

"It's very simple" Marilin said as she stood next to the orb "All you have to do is hit this orb and it will show you your power level and other information like Nexus, Class, Rank and Status"

"After all that is done I will give the results to the director of the school and then he will assign you to the classrooms" she continued explaining "Does that clear it up for you?"

"Yeah fine I can go first" Yoake said as he imbued his spear with [Dustbreaker] and thrusted with it into the sphere. Then a blue screen appeared with the necessary information to assign him into a class and his power level was measured 38,000

"38 thousand, not too bad I guess is there a minimum I have to reach to get in?" Yoake asked with a smirk

"Nope but 38k is a rather impressive amount for someone who hasn't participated in the Academy" Marilin said as she opened the Gateway to the next floor "You may enter the Academy"

"You guys better hurry up after all I don't have all day to spend waiting for you on the other side" he said as he entered the Academy floor

"Who is next?" Alya asked as she looked at Cinister and Ragna

"I guess I don't mind going next since I will have a better score than you two combined" Ragna said as he prepared his blade

"All that pride will catch up to you, just saying" Cinister expressed as he was waiting for Ragna to fail

"Watch this" Ragna said as he prepared [Self Circuitry] and [Aqua Blades]. Then he hit the orb and so did all of the 10 other blades

Score: 45,845

"See I told you it would be high" Ragna looked back with a sly smile on his face.

"Now we both knew that wasn't what you said" Cinister remarked as he gently kicked him in the back

"So lady, how is my score and how does it compare to yours?" Ragna said as he sheathed his sword

"Well it's really impressive but let the 2 of the remaining scalers do it then I will show you how much you can improve at this Academy" Marilin said as she gestured Alya to go next

"Okay I'll go next" Alya said as she used [Star Sign] to hit the orb

Score: 28,040

"It's not as much as I hoped for but I guess it's not that bad" Alya said as she went to stand next to Ragna "I know you can do it Cini!"

"Fine let me cook" Cinister said as he used [Fire Ring Double], [Ashen Veil] and [HeatWave] in one breath

He placed his hand gently on the orb and used his blue flames to burn the orb.

Score: 48,844

"Really you beat me by 1 point" Cinister signed as he looked towards Ragna

"Losers tend to lose am I right or am I right" Ragna said with a smug attitude

"Two 40k in one day is quite marvelous but I think It's time to show you what true power is" Marilin closed the distance to the orb and pointed her gun right in the center

"Bang" she said as she fired a shot which pierced the sphere

Score 250,063

"250K!!" all 3 members of the Fangra widened their eyes to the sight of her power

"Don't let this result discourage you. This Academy will develop your talents in ways you never could have ever imagined and I know you 4 have real potential" Marilin encouraged them "Officially you will get your classes 2 days from now so feel free to explore Campnoon as much as you want just try not to get lost"

"Alright guys 2 days from now we will start preparing at the Academy for The Winter Event" Cinister said as they entered the Academy floor.
