In the testing room, a lot of students could be seen sitting on the ground with their legs crossed. The nobles and royals were so exhausted that they didn't care about anything and also had sat down on the ground. While some were lying on the raised platform, receiving immediate treatment.
Most of them were anticipating the announcement of their entrance examination final result.
"Your shattered bones have been mended and your severe wounds have been healed, but I am leaving your damaged skin as it is. It will heal in 3 weeks. Until then, it will work as a greater reminder for a fool like you!" Jun said after healing Vincent.
"Sorry for troubling you once again," Vincent said with a shy smile.
He felt pretty bad for milking the same healer twice and without any consideration.
"Big brother, stop putting yourself in harm's way," Leila said as she then sighed. "Do you know how worry I feel every time I see you injured?!"
His head was placed on her lap. His eyes reflected the face of a girl with gentle features and clean, lustrous hair cascading down her shoulders. Her snow-white skin turned ruddy as she felt shy under his intense stare.
"You should listen to your little girlfriend's words, healing isn't as magical as you think," Jun added.
"Okay, I will comply with your words," Vincent said as he thought why not?
It wasn't like he was a masochist!
"Great!" Leila lovingly ruffled his hair. Then, she looked at the healer in front of her and said, "Mr. Jun, can you please heal his wound?"
Hearing her words, Vincent's heart warmed. He felt happy to see that she was worried about him.
"Well, It's not like I can refuse a cute girl like you," Jun said before he healed the skin wounds on Vincent's back.
"You are lucky to have her by your side," Jun said after a moment.
Leila blushed as she felt shy.
"It's me that's lucky to have Big Brother for myself," Leila said as her cheeks turned redder than a ripe apple.
Vincent flashed a beaming smile towards Jun as he held Leila's soft hand with ruddy tips.
'Their love is bright enough to blind me! I don't have any interest in eating dog food. It's better to get away from them,' Jun internally exclaimed as he walked away.
"Can I kiss you?" Vincent asked as his face leaned close to her, his nose touching her as his somewhat cold hand touched the back of her warm neck.
Leila shook her head in declination as she took a few steps back with a face blushed red.
"If you do that, I won't be able to maintain my human form. I don't want others to see my feline form." A sad expression took place on her cute face. "Big brother, I also want to be intimate with you but I can't. It's all because I can't control my transformation to my feline form. It occurs whenever I lose control of my emotions. And when you are being to me or showering me with affections, I lose my calm and my emotions run wild. I am sorry for being a nuisance!"
"Don't be." Vincent immediately kissed Leila's on her cheeks. "I'm sure that there is a way to help you control your transformation. I heard there's a big library in the military academy with hundreds of thousands of books. I'm sure there will be a solution to our problem in one of those books."
Hearing his words, Leila's eyes brightened in glee, her heart warmed and a sweet smile blossomed on her face. He has worn her heart and seduced her soul by saying that her problem was his. She also looks forward to seeing if there is a solution to her problem in the library.
"Leila, I don't want others to see your super cute feline form as it's something precious that only I should have the right to witness. So, will you promise me that you won't show others your super cute side?" Vincent said after a moment.
"I promise! Big brother, you'll be the only one who I show my super cute side to!" Leila said while giggling like a silly lass in love.
Sometime later, after the race had ended and all the students that were evicted from the boundary of the tract, teleported to the raised platform were healed, Theodore walked out of the separated boundary and stood in front of students with a smile on his face and said,
"Congratulations to all of you for passing the various tests and becoming permanent students of our military academy. Some of you might be confused so I might as well say that this test wasn't an elimination round. The test of agility's main purpose was to assess your agility, awareness, reflexes, and observation skill through using obstacles and a simple secret mechanism. It didn't matter whether or not you failed or passed this test, you wouldn't have been disqualified from the entrance examination. After all, the moment you passed the test of courage, you've already become a permanent student of our academy. I didn't intentionally clarify the situation since I wanted you all to perform your best as your final results and rewards heavily depended on this test."
Hearing his words, the eyebrows of some of the students furrowed as they felt annoyed thinking that they gave it more than their all when it wasn't even necessary in the first place, while a smile blossomed on the face of the others as they felt happiness bubbling inside of them when they thought that they have completed their goals and were finally students of the military academy.
"With that said and done, it's time to announce your final results and rewards. Listen well, the grades you scored in the test of titan's strength and the test of agility were combined and then averaged to create an accurate result. Whereas the contribution points you received are equal to the sum of the grades you obtained in the strength and agility tests. Plus, the 100 contribution points you earned from simply passing the test of courage."
"The result will be announced from the top to bottom, so first it is student Vincent who outperformed hundreds of examinees and topped the charts." Theodore signaled instructor Alex to announce his results.
A moment later, Alex stepped forward with a sheet in his hands and said, "Your final result is 60.87. Whereas after the sum of the grade you obtained in the above-mentioned tests, you've obtained 121.7 contribution points. Adding on the points you earned for completing the test of courage, you have received a total of 221.7 contribution points. Use them wisely."
The students realized how their final results and rewards are calculated as instructor Alex used Vincent's as an example.
Immediately after, the instructor hurriedly announced the results of the other participants, one by one, in a rather large voice that sounded in everyone's ears.
"Leila, your final result is 27!"
"Geom, your final result is 25!"
"Varth, your final result is 23.5!"
"Peter, your final result is 20.5!"
A few moments after announcing their results, once Alex has taken a few sips of water to cool his dry throat, he continued,
"Lastly, as you can see, the same number has appeared on the front and back of your student ID card. The one on the back of your card represents your combat level. Your combat level determines a lot of things such as the type of mission you can accept during your time in the academy. While we have already explained that the one on the front of your card represents your useable contribution points."
As soon as he said those words, Vincent, Leila, and the other newly enrolled students noticed that the number displayed on the back of their card was the same as the final result they got on the entrance examination.
"Now, follow my footsteps. It's time for you guys to teleport into the world's connecting space and reach the military academy's ground," instructor Alex said as he started to walk towards the uppermost floor of the tower of cloud.
Although every inch of the space inside his ability kingdom could be bent with a snap of his fingers and a few words spewed out of his mouth, he didn't create a rift in space to teleport the students to the uppermost floor of the tower as it consumed a massive amount of energy to teleport a carbon body from one place to another, especially if that place was out of the boundary of his ability kingdom.
As the students started following instructor Alex, a voice stopped Vincent from going along with them and his girlfriend.
"Vincent, wait here. We have some important matters to discuss with you so you'll be going with us," instructor Theodore said as he looked at the best among the batch of this year's newly enlisted students with a deeply interested stare.
In response, Vincent blinked his eyes and halted in his footsteps.
"Looks like we will be parting here," Vincent said, feeling a tinge of sadness swelling in his heart at the mere thought of separating with Leila once again for a while.
"Don't be sad. Big brother, I will see you soon," Leila said with a sweet smile on her face while letting go of his hands.
"See you soon! I will try to meet up with you as soon as possible," Vincent said with a gentle look on his face as he watched her going away.
"I will be waiting for you!" Leila shouted before making her way towards the uppermost floor with the rest of the students and disappearing from the scene, leaving behind a love-stricken young man that breathed in her exceptionally sweet fragrance lingering in the air.
It didn't take long for the newly enlisted students to walk out of the testing room and reach the uppermost teleportation section of the tower of cloud.
Once all the students left the room, instructor Theodore and instructor Kayle turned their attention to Vincent.
"Come, let's have a conversation." Theodore motioned Vincent to sit in the empty chair nearby them.
"Umm, what do you want to say to me?" Vincent asked after he took a seat with the instructors sitting around him.
"You see, there's good news and bad news. Which one do you wanna hear first?" Theodore asked with a mysterious smile.
"Mention the latter afterward," Vincent said with squinted eyes wondering what the good news is.
