Abalax World Academy, Espat.

Inside the test room.

A black haired teen appeared out of thin air in the well lit room. His clothes were tattered, his hair disheveled, there were blood stains everywhere on him and his whole body seemed pale. The examiner looked at him and said in a neutral tone

"Congratulations. You have passed. The last test would be the Combat Test Tournament. It'll be 15 days later. Goodluck."

After the examiner said that, the black haired boy vanished from the spot.

The examiner had been watching the boy and a few others. He was incharge of examining the students who had failed the comprehension test and out of all the students who had gone to the other dimension, only this black haired boy seemed extraordinary to him.

The examiner had noticed everything that the boy did, from the way he used his abilities, ran from strong creatures and whatever things he muttered in those 100 days.

The examiner wrote some things on a paper and folded and put it inside an envelope. He sealed it with a special seal and then moved towards a corner of the room. He put the letter in a letter box. The letter box seemed like an ordinary red box placed on a table in a corner.

After the letter was sent in the box, the box made a ding sound and went silent again. The examiner thought to himself

'I've recorded everything there was to it about the boy and sent it to the administrative office. Phew, such a hectic day. This boy was in so much trouble and why did he have to fight monsters for no reason. He ran from stronger ones and stupidly fought the weaker ones.

Because of him I had to watch his every fight and record every detail about him. Sigh, this was so tiring. Why couldn't he be like the other students who came here after failing the comprehension test. Why didn't he just give up after passing or hid for 100 days correctly.

The exam was only about surviving and not fighting. Ugh, whatever, there are more students that I need to check on now.'

The examiner then sat on his seat and waited for other examinees to come.

.....

15 days passed.

The examinations was done in full swing. Each day about a 750,000 candidates would be tested. The examiners would conduct their exams day and night all day for four days straight. Each examiner would do a 12 hour shift to ensure that candidates got the full attention of the examiner.

It was tiring on the examiners but thankfully there were many testing rooms and many examiners to conduct the exam. There were around a 1000 examiners who conducted one 12 hour shift. Each examiner had to go through around 700-800 students everyday in their shift. It was tiring on them but they managed it well as they were all high ranks and such work would only happen during these times of the year. They also got bonus for it, so all was good.

There was a break on the 5th, 10th and the 16th day. The administration of the academy along with the help of examiners, went over the list of candidates that were of a high potential. After 4 days around 3 million+ students were tested which was approximately one third of the total candidates that registered.

The academy went over the test results of these three million candidates on the rest day and sorted out the ones with the highest scores. These students were the ones that would be allowed to take part in the Combat Test Tournament.

The academy wanted students with an overall high potential in all fields and if some students failed in some tests, they wouldn't let those students take the combat test as even if they had high combat abilities, it wouldn't matter because their overall potential is low, thereby making them seem ordinary.

The academy also had to send the scores of the test result of those who failed, to the respective candidates. These candidates could take these test results and use it as a reference of their abilities while applying for other academies.

The other academies all considered Abalax's test scores are 100% valid and they didn't doubt it as they knew that their testing was very efficient and the best in the world. If the test scores are high, they would accept students without even testing them and if they are moderate or low, they would first test them for themselves and see if they are worthy to be taken in or not.

Some could also pay money and directly get into other elite academies apart from Abalax. There were many types of academies available to get into if Abalax didn't take them in. There were local, state, country and international level academies all over the world. The students had many doors open to them if Abalax didn't take them in and so nobody was left without any education.

The graduation criteria, academic years and number of semesters and all, varied from academy to academy. Abalax had one of the strictest criteria for graduation and examinations but it also had the most relaxed semesters and syllabus. The students are happy in their 5 years stay in the academy and give those strict exams and graduate with a high rank with no problems.

The academy also had the highest number of graduates each year even though it had the world's most strict criteria for graduating. To be a rank 6 in five years was not easy. On an average, in five years, a person in the world would only be around rank 3 or 4. Being a rank 6 was only done by geniuses and the most elite kids in the world.

Abalax took pride in this as even the children that get expelled from their academy for not meeting the criteria are around rank 4 at the lowest. If a student fails to be a rank 6 after 5 years, he would be given an extra year to make up for it and if he failed in that, he would be expelled. Thus, even the failures of Abalax were above average in the whole world and were respected by everyone.

Abalax World Academy was almost done with their examinations and only the final one was left. It was the Combat Test Tournament. After testing over 10 million students, only a million have been selected for the final round. Among these one million students, only 10,000 would get a chance to be in the academy.

These 10,000 students would get alloted to their classrooms depending upon their rank in the tournament and their treatment would also vary. The high ranking students would naturally be given more benefits and so, everyone in the tournament took the fights seriously.

Royal Castle, Nightingale.

Lith was currently sitting and having his breakfast. He was having miso soup with tofu, salmon, rice and tamagoyaki with some pickles on the side. He was eating a traditional Japanese breakfast but here in this world it was from the cuisines of the beastkins. The beastkins were demi-humans since birth. They were half beast and half human all their lives.

They live majorly in Elven Continent. They used to live in Human Continent but the humans loathed these half beasts and half humans type creatures and killed them whenever they found them and so these beastkins were on a decline.

According to the tales of the beastkins, their ancestor called Yamamoto Sakaguchi united them and left with every possible demi-human out of the Human Continent and into the Elven Continent, which was just North of the Human Continent in the Eastern part of the world.

The Elves were a very tolerant race and they didn't mind the beastkins migrating in their continent. The beastkins found a place for themselves in the Elven Continent and lived there from then on.

From pictures of their cities that Lith found online, he guessed that one of the Earthling had reincarnated into the body of the demi-human and from there on, he lead them to such a prosperity. From his name alone, he guessed that he was from Japan back on Earth. In any case, Sakaguchi had done a great deed for an entire race. He was an Emperor rank and he looked after the beastkins. He still lived to this day.

The cities of beastkins had Japanese architecture and their whole race followed Japanese culture. Everything related to Japan in this world came from them.

Lith while eating the tamogoyaki with his chopsticks thought

'How did the beastkins adapt to the mild tastes of food? Shouldn't they be craving for foods with strong flavour and meat constantly? Japanese cuisine has a wide variety of foods and it is not focused too much on meat like the English cuisine. Whatever, it's their choice.

Oh right, thanks Sakaguchi for your hardwork. Without you, I wouldn't be able to eat ramen, hahaha.'

Lith had small talks with himself in his mind. He didn't miss Earth too much as everything from back there was present here and that too, it was more advanced or much better. He really liked eating food. It tastes good, it brought back memories and he would get to know about the various people and culture in this world by just having a taste of the food.

Just by having a traditional Japanese breakfast, he got to know about the whole Japanese and beastkin culture over here. Food was a good way of knowing the world more and also his fellow Earthlings.

He looked at his side while eating food and found his mother doing his big sister's hair in front of a dressing table. He smiled and continued to eat his food.

He had almost finished his food and was about to reach for the last piece of salmon when his registration badge which he wore on his chest started to tick and a monotonous voice started coming out of it

"Dear Candidates, the Combat Test Tournament would start in 3 hours. You would be teleported to the academy grounds and would have to stay there until the end of the tournament. Goodluck on your test."

Lilith and Lucy looked at the badge on Lith's chest and Lith too looked at it. Lucy shifted her gaze and said to Lith with a smile

"Goodluck, dear."

"I still have 3 hours. Stop saying it like I am leaving now, big sis." Lith said with a smile.

"Fufufu...3 hours aren't too big of a deal, baby. Anyway, let's get you ready." Lilith added.

Lith finished his last bite of salmon and got up and went to Lilith to get dressed.

.....

Abalax Sky Island, Lenz City.

On one corner of the big sky island, there was an arena which could fit around a 100,000 spectators easily. It was in an oval shape. In the middle of it, there was a flat ground and around the flat ground was a green translucent barrier. This was barrier to protect the spectators and also acted as a circle to trap the souls of the people who die during the fight and get resurrected by the officials later on.

The whole arena was pretty much empty. There were only around 2000 people who were sitting and waiting.

At a corner of the arena, a blonde lady with blue eyes wearing a majestic white and golden robe was sitting. Beside her sat an ordinary looking lady with light brown hair and eyes. The blonde lady said to the lady beside her

"Sel, it's time."

"Okay, madam." Sel said and did some things on a tablet screen she was holding.

Soon, on the training grounds, magical spatial fluctuations occured and flashes of light were seen. Out of those lights, figures of thirteen year old childrens came into view. They were the selected candidates for the Combat Test Tournament. In only a few minutes, the arena ground was filled with 1,000,000 students.

The blonde lady looked at the sea of examinees and was in search of a particular candidate. She soon found the familiar silver haired boy with purple eyes.

She noticed that the cross earring he was wearing was still present. This cross gave her a feeling that she was standing before the Heavenly Emperor. It radiated his aura and she made a guess that it was made by him and gifted to the Vampire Queen for her son. Why he did that, she didn't understand and it wasn't her business to pry into it.

She smiled looking at him and she was hoping to see how he would perform in combat.

.....

A silver haired lady wearing black sunglasses walked near the blonde lady. She was wearing a sports bra, a jacket which was open and revealed her flat stomach which had signs of abs which didn't make her look too muscular but only fit and lean. She wore black leggings and black shoes. A little area above her ankle was shown and overall, she looked very hot in such an outfit.

Her hair was tied in a ponytail and she had two long slicks of hair at her sides which reached her collarbone and a few strands of hair at her forehead. Her hairstyle seemed a bit messy but it only made her look more hot.

She reached the blonde lady and sat beside her and wrapped one of her arm around the blonde lady's shoulder and said in her melodious and sweet tone

"Yo Emmy, who you looking at? Did you finally find a boy toy for yourself this year? Hahahaha"
