Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 42: The Test

" Hello there new students, quicken your footsteps!!!! "

" For the Prodigal Center Academy's Entry Test will begin soon!!!! "

After the Announcement was said, the entry students began to assemble in the hall for the principal had shown himself there.

" Welcome prodigal students, it seems all of you are excited today, is it not... "

" Today as you know it, we will carry out the Entrance Test!!! " the principal says while looking at the students who gulped, probably because the test will start.

Seeing the students' reactions, the principal smirked for unknown reasons while thinking to himself for a second as he then continued his speech and tells the students more about the entrance test.

" For the entrance test, we will first do the basic required test for students which is a Magic Tier Test. " the principal says while holding the *Mana Test Ball that could show the specific result of a magic user's potential.

While the principal says that, he then shows the students there that the Mana Test Balls will be given to each student in order to test them on their spots.

After he says that, the Prodigal Academy's available Mana Test Balls immediately fly to the students and arrive in front of them also immediately instructs the students to put their hands on top of the ball so they can scan it which resulted in very quickly since the Prodigal Center Academy's Mana Test Balls are more advanced in doing the examining jobs better than the Test Balls from other schools.

One by one the students place their hands in front of the Mana Test Balls so they can know how potentially powerful they were.

" Hoorrayy my magic Tier is now at Tier III!!!! "

" Mine is at Tier IV now!!!! "

" Mine is.... only Tier II," said a glassed-eyed boy with sad eyes as his magic doesn't increase so significantly.

As the children begin to get their results, Donovan looks at them and sees the Mana Test Balls while he himself is wondering how powerful he becomes after constantly leveling up for a year.

"( My whole life until now has only been at training, studying, learning, and leveling up. )"

"( Based on the practice, my power should've been increasing so rapidly, doubled or tripled countless times than before I was adopted. )" Donovan recounts everything as he remembers the thing that happened back then (Things on Vol.1 and the events before Vol.2 that been skipped, both written or not written).

While recounting, Donovan suddenly hears a lot of cheers coming from behind him as he sees Carlos surrounded by many astonished students as his Mana Test Ball was filled with a radiating light, a magnificent glow as the Test Ball shows his magic is on Tier V which is on par with his mother, Irina as Carlos's Tier number is shown by the Test Ball.

"( No way!!!! his Star Magic's ability Tier is on par with mom!!!? )" Donovan asks in his mind while the other students cheered for Carlos thanks to his power.

" Master Carlos congratulations!!!! " said the other students especially the girls.

Hearing that and after seeing Carlos get many compliments. Donovan then looks back at his Test Ball that he hasn't touched since earlier which he looks at it while looking at his hand.

"( Before the test, Tania suddenly warned me to not make the others know that I possessed the power of the Aether. )" Donovan thinks in his mind while slowly approaching his hand on top of his Test Ball.

"( I don't care anymore, even if it means that I will get caught for having the Aether, at least those students will also see me rather than circling and cheering around Carlos. )" Donovan says while taking some breath as he places his hand.

"( Ooo test ball, please show them my capabilities if you may... )" Donovan closed his eyes which suddenly activates his annoying passive skill again.

< Vague Memory Voices Activated >

" Mixing the power of Mana and the Aether could potentially be dangerous. "

" I don't mind that, I just want to see if combining the two will give me a drastic change effect. "

" The other might fear you... "

" I don't care...!!!! "

...

"( The voices are on it again!!!! )"

"( I wonder if these voices will be activated more often during my activities in the future, dammit!!!! )" Donovan says as the Test Ball reacted and examines his power while Donovan is having a blackout during this process while the other students cower in fear, crying, shouting, screaming for no reason, even the teacher is asking him to stop.

"( Why are they so noisy...? )"

"( What happened...? )" Donovan asks as he suddenly opened his eyes, only to see the ground around him is crushed and sees the other student is far away from him as if they were evading something.

While seeing the students, Donovan sees his Test Ball see his results which shocks him as he sees the Mana Test Ball is broken as he sees ball shatter on the ground which made him shocked by what happened.

" Wha ... what is going on? " Donovan asks.

" Donovan!!!! " Carlos shouts as he approached him.

" Are you all right? are you hurt somewhere? " Carlos asks while his face is on sweat while looking so worried, making Donovan had to wonder what is going on.

" No,... not in heavily particular ... I ... was ... "

" How about you, you look.... scared.....? " Donovan asks him back, as he gives the impression that he is being out of the picture since the thing transpired.

As he says that, the whole people inside the hall begin to look at him seriously as they still had been horrified at what just happened without Donovan knowing about it at all.

While Donovan wonders what is wrong, the principal, Axel Volt approaches him and claps at him for he praised him for his potential he then congratulates Donovan for being one of the students that will be assigned to the 'Special Class', just like Carlos and some other students among the many, that has shown a special result in their tests.

" Congratulations Donovan Betzalel Richter-Grimshaw!!!! "

" Your test result has proven you to be special like some other students that we will put into the special class in this academy. " Principal Axel clapped at him.

"Furthermore, as I said earlier, congratulations!!! " he says while Donovan is still confused while Carlos looks at him as his face is now shined again for he is so grateful that Donovan will be in the same class as him which he then immediately explain to Donovan to at least answer Donovan's confusion over what just happened.

"( Wow, I didn't even know my magic manifestation will be like that... )" Donovan says to himself.
