Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 298. Magic School Academy Entrance Examination: Area Level C bag. 3
After Mark expelled all the participants who were considered failures, in an instant only 21 people remained.
Leisurely, Mark walked forward again.
Kaito saw Mark's figure so strong, it barely even had a flaw.
'The aura is amazing. Moreover, his eyes were red as he activated magic..is it different from Xenon's?'
Mark looked towards the participants who deemed it worth testing.
Suddenly a voice in the room sounded.
"Mk..."
"Hmm? You still there, Lucas?"
"You haven't cut off communication, Mark. I thought you had disconnected Calliope some time ago" Lucas said
"I think I've decided. You're probably the one who used Calliope to talk to me"
One of the supervisors whispered "Mark-sama, you haven't disconnected him with [Nox]"
"Hmm? Really true?"
"Yes"
"Hooo's. Why did I forget?" ask Mark to relax
The whole team noticed all of that. They were almost arguably stunned because they did not believe in the strength and attitude of his presence.
"Then, disconnect Calliope. I still have a job" Lucas said
Before deciding on his communication, Kaito asked the voice.
"I'm sorry, can I speak to you for a moment in this voice?"
Mark and all the participants including Virgo saw Kaito.
With glowing red eyes, Mark remembered that face.
'He was the one who was on the empty list. People who are strong and have unlimited potential, ' he said in his heart
The voice seemed to respond well.
"Is there anything you want to ask?"
"You're saying that they did fail, does it have anything to do with strength and teamwork?"
"What?" virgo's response is confused
Mark and his two supervisors fell silent and listened to what Kaito wanted to ask back.
"I heard the other participants talking about his desire to graduate and refusal to cooperate with those who were considered weak by him"
"The examiner said that if there was a half in the team we formed that failed then all in one team would fail"
"It is the principle of teamwork so that the whole team does not drop each other and protect each other"
"Could it be that this dueling tag was a test that put forward teamwork over individual strength?"
Everyone was surprised to hear it. The voice seemed to laugh a little.
"Ahaha, I'm sure you're used to fighting"
"Am I wrong?" ask Kaito
The voice answered and gave some other explanations.
"No. Thas right. Actually only 50% true. But it's not wrong. Our focus remains on individual strengths and abilities"
"But on the battlefield, there are times when selfishness must be set aside for the sake of mutual survival"
"If you can think of your friends as mere bullies because they are weak, then you will only focus on your own achievements"
"And if that happens, only destruction and division ensue. Traitors, sheep fights and other bad things will follow"
"The [Level C Area] test we deliberately specialise in the form of dueling tags so that you are free to release each other's strengths"
"However, you should be able to build relationships and understand the abilities of each other in the team that might be a hidden potential for you too"
"That's the purpose of being held tag dueling in the entrance exam"
"In addition, you're lucky that your opponent is strong"
"strong. These testers are strong?" ask another participant
"really. He was a member or could even be considered the number 1 strongest in the entire eastern region"
"Mark is the current Marquis of Vermillion and the sole owner of the legendary weapon Artifact"
"Artifact said?!"
Many are surprised. But hearing Artifact's words, resentment emerged from Virgo's facial expression.
"If you ask me, I'm just the leader of the Magic Council, but with ability, I'm nothing" the voice continued.
"......" Kaito just shut up. It was no surprise since he already knew everything from Xenon
Mark yawned and said, "I'm tired of hearing you say I'm the strongest. You're just down, Lucas. At least only you can argue with the parents on the School Board"
"Mark, don't talk like that" Lucas' voice began to sound soft
"Thank you for the explanation. And you, participant number 89.."
Kaito. Mark approached.
"It's obvious?"
"The picture is already there" Kaito replied calmly
"Alright" Mark looked up, "Las, I'm closed"
"good. Thank you to all of you who still listen to your examiners. Do your best"
"Your graduation is in the hands of the examiner and exam supervisor, so follow the rules"
"May this be an important lesson when you join us"
"You will all succeed"
[Nox]
Mark deactivated his magic. Instantly all was silent.
"Why silence? No one wants to talk anymore?" ask Mark
"No. Please start, tester" Kaito said
"alright. Back to the test. You are free to form a team now. Minimum 3 persons and maximum unlimited"
"Oh yes, don't worry. If in your team there are individuals who lose but as a team you admit, then all members will pass"
"As the number 89 participant said, the principle is teamwork. One pass then all pass. And vice versa"
"Please think of his team members. Because the participants have been trimmed quite a lot, so you are free to discuss"
"I'll sit quietly and watch you guys argue. If you have, call me yes"
It's so relaxing for this examiner. Now, it could be seen that the examiner of the Magic School Academy was strong but had serious problems in carrying out his duties.
Alias, too indifferent and very relaxed.
Some forget to explain the full explanation, some are too happy like children, some are very relaxed though strong.
**
In his room, Lucas noticed it all like he was preparing mentally.
"To ask powerful members to be testers and ignore their original attitude is my fatal mistake"
"It should be quiet people like Rexa, Emilia and Tatiana that I choose as examiners"
"The School Board will laugh at my report later tonight"
**
At the post of exam room 7, Mark was actually sitting quietly in a relaxed manner.
Virgo looked at the examiner with an annoyed feeling, "I can't believe a Magic School Academy-level exam would be like this"
"Why?" ask Kaito
"They are called the guard troops of the eastern region who have the highest authority other than the kingdom, but it turns out like a playful guild acceptance level"
The tone of the protest seemed so clear. Kaito couldn't blame her. He could think so.
'I don't know but if from the beginning he said it was a test that measures the team's ability, maybe not like this'
'Why bother explaining something like that? He seemed like he had no intention of telling us'
'Or..maybe there's something else?'
No one knew it was Mark's plan.
'All of the participants who failed clearly did not have dangerous potential. I'm guessing those two people on the empty list will graduate'
'That means, only they are all here to watch out for'
'I don't know if there are any other intruders who entered this exam room other than the list I should be watching for'
'Now, the half elf girl and the number 89 participant are my main focus'
'If the two of them were to follow Earl Midford, I would have eliminated the two of them here'
