Chapter 90 - 83: Entry Exam (2/2)
After registering, Hikaru and Hiroshi then have to wait for the entry exam to begin. The entry exam just basically estimates the level of your strength and the examiner will put you in a proper adventurer rank.
The adventurer rank is separated into 7 ranks. Copper, Iron, SIlver, Gold, Diamond, Platinum, and Mythical.
Copper Rank is for people in Tier 1 to Tier 2, Iron Rank is for those in Tier 3 to 4, Silver is for those in Tier 5 to 6, Gold is for those in Tier 7 to 8, Diamond if for those in 9 to 10, and finally, Platinum if for those who've reached the level of Tier 11 and 12. But why was Mythical left out? It was said that only the previous Heroes reached that level, and maybe surpassed it! The Leader of the Heroes have said to be in the Tier 15, a myth that hasn't been proven yet.
Hikaru and Hiroshi waited in the Guild's Tavern until the clock reached 12 pm. The newbies that are gonna take the entry exam then came into the Guild.
There were 2 Examiners, a busty woman who only wore revealing clothes and a man who seems to be addicted to protecting women. Both of them were in the Tier 7, Gold Rank adventurers. The people that came in to take the entry test were amazed when they learned that, but Hikaru was only meh. They were weak, but even though that's the case, they are still powerful in the Elemental Nations.
Hikaru then started to think about intertwining the two worlds. If he can do that, it would be more beneficial to the Elemental Nation! They could all grow in power with the magic of this world. But there's a problem. Currently, in both worlds, there are evil Organizations or Evil Cults spread all over the two worlds.
He'll have to take care of that first, and he'll have to learn Space and Time magic to make a portal that goes between two worlds.
The Examiners then led them to an open land built behind the guild. It was not large, and only capable of fitting 80 to 100 people. The newbies that were going to take the entry exam sat on the stone benches around it.
There were a total of 30 people taking the exam, along with Hikaru and Hiroshi. They were all given slot numbers from the Examiners. Hikaru got 13 while Hiroshi got 7.
The examiners then called the people taking the exam one by one in numerical order. Almost all the people taking the entry exam were all in Tier 3 or below, so they were either given the Rank of Copper or Iron. But there were those who managed to surprise the Examiners. Hidden in 30 newbies, there were 5 people in Tier 5 to Tier 6!
The Examiners were overjoyed to get such people to join the Adventurer's Guild. But as expected of their Tiers, they were arrogant or aloof people.
The busty woman, who's name is Harley Mor, was a fire magician. And the Male Examiner, who's name is Alex Delt, has the class of a Paladin. He calls himself the White Knight who protects all women, which for Hikaru is really weird.
”Alright, now that all of you have told us your Tiers, except for that Knight with flashy armor and mister who doesn't know how to wear shirts, we can now start the entry mock battles. One by one, all of you will fight each of us. Just pick who you will fight between the two of us. First, number one, come front!” Harley called out and a black haired boy came out.
He has a peculiar appearance, even out of all of them. Pitch black hair and eyes, super red lips, extremely pale skin, almost as pale as Orochimaru. He only wore a white shirt and black shorts. Around his waist were two short curved blades. His appearance screams he's an Assassin.
The boy then picked Alex as his opponent, which is not a good choice for assassins like him. Paladins has the ability to sense any incoming attack and dodge it. But black haired boy seems confident, if his stoic face is any proof.
Hikaru just ignored them and started reading a book he got from the Tavern after asking for it from the receptionist girl. It's a history book from this world, and he has to read this if he wants to learn more about this world.
The very first thing that was mentioned in the book was that the world was created by the Goddess Deagaia. It was said that she formed the sun with her own hands, created the land, sea, and the sky and with the remaining land, she formed the moon. Obviously, this is a hoax. She didn't form the sun, the universe did. And she? Created this world? That's a big gigantic lie. Major Gods of her level shouldn't be able to build a planet as lush as this planet with her powers alone. You would need several gods to form a planet with weathers and environments capable of housing life.
She must've stolen this planet and had taken it for herself. That barrier guarding this world seems to be blocking her signal from getting caught by the other Major Gods. She's in hiding, and she might be a fugitive from the Celestial World. A criminal.
There's a few ways to become a criminal in the Celestial World. Do something really terrible, or become a follower of the Olden Gods. In the celestial world, the Olden Gods are forbidden to be spoken about. They cannot be mentioned, not even by their own names. Hikaru knows that something must be happening behind the scenes, but he cannot do anything right now. The gods are currently in an invincible position. There are only a few beings that can destroy the entire Celestial World and get away with it, and they can be counted in two hands.
One of them is definitely Kiran, and the other is Zane. That Disembodied Voice said to him that Zane is currently only second in power in the entire infinite multiverse. The Second Most Powerful Being!
But he doesn't know who the most powerful being is, even that Voice decided not to tell him. He said that it was still too early for him to know.
As he read the book and thought about some things, the Examiner then called out Hiroshi's number.
”Number 7, please come out!”
