Chapter 105

Entrance Examiner Kairan.

With her appearance, the children’s commotion disappeared in an instant.

“That’s the examiner! The examiner!”

Except for Balak, who was beside Kraush.

“There are three parts to the entrance exam.”

Kraush faintly recalled the entrance exam before his regression.

‘There’s one more part now.’

Back then, there were only two parts to the exam.

“The first part is to check the level of your aura.”

Kraush remembered how he had barely passed this part last time.

But back then, he had bought every elixir he could afford and trained to death to somehow grow stronger.

That’s how he barely made it to the end.

“The second part is a sparring match among the candidates. You will spar three times against opponents of higher, similar, and lower levels based on the aura check.”

This part was the same as before.

“Finally, the third part is a mock battle with the examiner. By the way, those who pass the first and second parts will be considered students.”

The students murmured.

They wondered why there was a need for a third part.

“The reason for the third part is simple. It’s to test for entry into the newly established special class.”

Special class.

Kraush was intrigued because he had never heard of this class.

It was clearly a change introduced in this iteration.

“The special class will operate separately from the departments you applied for. It will be a fast-track class for cultivating outstanding students. Additional recruitment will continue, and even after enrolling, students may be reassigned as needed.”

With a brief explanation, Kairan smiled slowly.

“Of course, if the special class fills up during the entrance exam, there will be no additional recruitment.”

That alone instantly changed the students’ motivation.

Those aiming to enter Rahelrn Academy had their own goals.

They realized that entering the special class would change their lives.

For nobles, it was the highest honor.

For commoners, it was the greatest opportunity.

And those aspiring to Martial Arts shared a common trait.

They wanted to prove they were the strongest.

That combative nature.

‘Seems like this was created because too many talented individuals showed up.’

Kraush realized why the special class was established.

Simultaneously, he understood that he needed to get into that class.

The Skyborne Generation would undoubtedly gather there.

“The condition for the third part is simple: defeat the examiner. I think many of you can do it.”

Clearly not believing a word she said, Kairan added.

Her words felt malicious.

“Then let’s begin the first part.”

As soon as she spoke, prepared examiners came out.

They quickly set up dozens of small, individual tents.

At the same time, magicians from Rahelrn Academy displayed names in the sky.

“Enter the tent with your name displayed above it and place your hand on the aurora stone inside.”

It was a simple test.

But about half of the students would fail this part.

‘The number of students is ultimately fixed.’

In the meantime, names appeared one by one.

Students with their names displayed entered the tents with determined expressions.

Despite dozens of tents, the first part took quite a while, given the four-digit number of Martial Arts applicants.

“Kraush, you’re aiming for the special class, right? I’m aiming for it too, so let’s go to the same class!”

So Kraush had to keep listening to Balak’s chatter.

“If we get into the special class, we can meet Aniks and Elfin too!”

Wood Bow, Aniks Graiza.

And Elfin Emilia.

Two of the three top members of Starlon were first-year students.

As the examiner mentioned, the special class was a fast-track program, so its students would live alongside the first-year students.

“I wonder how strong the examiner is. I’m excited.”

Kraush glanced at Kairan.

‘I wonder if anyone can beat her.’

Although not widely known,Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

she was a figure who made her name in the great sea beyond the wall, an almost forbidden territory.

Pirate Empress.

Kairan.

She must have captured thousands of erosion species from the great sea for research.

‘And the only associate professor with skills comparable to a professor.’

She remained an associate professor by choice, believing that directly conducting classes wasn’t suitable for her.

In other words, she was on par with the professors in terms of power.

‘How malicious.’

From the moment Kairan, who was on par with a professor, was assigned as the examiner, it felt malicious.

‘It’s like saying no one will pass the special class.’

That’s how it seemed.

Hearing his continued words, Kairan froze.

It wasn’t a coincidence that the aurora stone broke.

As she watched him walk away leisurely, Kairan swallowed.

She had thought Mary Diana was a monster.

But the real monster was right here.

Leaving the stunned Kairan behind, Kraush looked at his hand as he walked out.

‘I honestly didn’t expect it to break.’

Seeing the aurora stone reminded Kraush of his past.

The dim light it emitted had seemed so underwhelming even to him.

And the silent reaction of the assistant examiner watching it left him with an unpleasant feeling.

So he got curious.

Would the aurora stone recognize world erosion as aura?

‘Then might as well.’

He went all out.

With that thought, Kraush summoned Annihilation Erosion.

Thanks to the Heavenly Slaughter Star, its output had increased significantly.

He poured the maximum amount of aura into the aurora stone without harming himself.

The result.

Crash!

With a flash, the aurora stone shattered.

Kraush’s momentary output was unmatched.

So when he poured that into the aurora stone,

there was no way it could withstand it.

As Kraush lifted his head outside the tent,

Silence.

Everyone, including the entrance applicants and the current students, was staring at Kraush.

They had all heard the light and the sound of the breaking stone from the tent.

[You’re so reckless.]

Hearing Crimson Garden’s voice from the brooch in his pocket, Kraush slowly scratched the back of his head.

Then he broke the silence.

“What’re you looking at?”

A very Balheim-like comment.

Everyone remained silent as Kraush walked back to his original spot, unconcerned.

“Wow, Kraush! How strong have you gotten?!”

Unlike others, Balak, who wasn’t one to watch cautiously, reacted by jumping up and down.

It was comfortable having someone who didn’t care about the situation.

As Kraush stopped and turned,

Freeze!

Suddenly, Kraush froze.

The reason was simple.

Above the dozens of tents,

one name had changed to Arthur Gramalte.

‘Arthur.’

Kraush quickly turned in that direction.

But Arthur Gramalte’s name slowly faded and changed to another name.

While Kraush was breaking the aurora stone,

Arthur had also taken and finished the first part almost simultaneously.

The timing was off.

Realizing this, Kraush hurriedly looked around.

But there were too many people to spot Arthur.

‘He didn’t enroll earlier.’

For some reason, Arthur was enrolling at the same time as him.

Kraush frowned.

The current Arthur wasn’t the Arthur he knew.

Arthur hadn’t regressed.

So he was an unpredictable variable.

Kraush looked up to find Sigrid.

But unlike before, only her group remained without her.

Kraush realized that Sigrid had gone to meet Arthur after seeing his name.

Earlier, Kraush had noticed Mary in a robe taking the exam.

While looking for Arthur, Mary was nowhere to be seen either.

‘Fine.’

Kraush stopped searching.

They were bound to gather, one way or another.

So there was no rush.

‘I’ll walk my path.’

Little did they know that Kraush had also regressed with the same memories.

While they searched for Arthur,

Kraush was slowly baring his fangs at their necks.
