Chapter 14 - Entrance Examination

After the crowd calmed down from the public display of affection, a cough broke the silence. Everyone looked up to see a man with long white hair, brown eyes, and an old expression. He said, "Hello, students, I am the magic professor Dumbledoor. I have been teaching at this school since its founding, and I am your current examiner. Shall we begin the test?"

Everyone looked in silence as Professor Dumbledoor took that as yes and swung his huge wooden wand around–Pause–the entire arena lit up in a magic spell, and they were all then teleported from there into his dimension. Meanwhile, all around the world, kings, queens, commoners, and nobles sat in comfort as they looked at the chaos that was about to descend.

Luke opened his eyes after closing them from the heavy light, and he saw an entire city, which surprised him. He wouldn't be surprised if it were a normal city, but it was a modern world city, with very big skyscrapers and signal towers in the distance. Just then, Dumbledoor's voice was heard as he said 

"This is my dimension, There are multiple monsters spread across this realm. The bare minimum to pass is 1,000 points, and you will stay here for 3 days. Careful, you might just lose your life. There are 3 ways to earn points: defeat the monsters, professors award you points for your action, or defeat another student whose points are higher than yours. Each time you defeat a monster, you will be awarded 10 points. The professor may award you any number of points depending on your performance. Finally, defeating students will give you the difference in points between them."

After this, the world went silent as students started to prepare all sorts of bases, alliances were forming, and they were forming fast. Claudia was forming alliance and looking for Luke, Kalab was brooding about losing claudia first kiss to another man and was taking it out on innocent monsters, Romanos went underground to mine resources, meanwhile the lionheart twins immediately went to subjugate monsters and were allied with the Claudia since their common enemy was Kalab, the Thornecrest twins started a alliance with Isabela meanwhile she was nowhere to be seen. Nevin was just chilling in some random part of the building, killing 100 monsters per 3 hours. 

Luke was on top of the tallest building, doing absolutely nothing but just letting his clothes flutter against the high winds. 'Maybe I should get a fit like a certain green alien from an anime,' He thought as the monster himself was too scared to be near him due to the energy pressure he was releasing, making their instincts call out for them to not even make a move or else it would be over. So, he was just there aura farming as the monster around him stayed still in hopes to avoid his wrath.

If they could understand the human tongue, then they would probably cry to god about unfairness. Luke himself didn't care as he looked onto the horizon, his eyes glowed in a golden light as he looked at everything like a god gazing down on his world. "I should just get this over with," He said to himself as he unfolded his arms and opened his right one, palm facing the sky. Golden energy twisted and turned around it to make a physical bolt of lightning as the energy released on each side converged into a single point at the end of each. 

Luke threw it into the sky as he called out, "Energy Vajra." The sky darkened when the Vajra touched it. Black clouds formed like a spiral, the center itself was big enough to cover the area that he presides in, but with the 3 legs, the entire region was covered in it. Suddenly, golden energy split the sky as bolts of lightning arced towards the ground. The very air itself was being split by the lightning as a vacuum was left behind. Whenever the lightning struck, the place was immediately reduced to ashes and charcoal. 

The move lasted for 3 minutes, and when finally done, the black could disappear, the area where Luke stood. Where the center of the spiral was completely raised above the ground, except for the one building where Luke stood like a king, overseeing his territory. Meanwhile, the spirals themselves caused a humongous amount of damage, but were very tame compared to the center area. The region itself still survived with a few buildings here and there and a couple of monsters who survived with heavy injuries.

The points came flooding in as he reached from zero to nearly 12,000 points. The board, which only recorded names for the names whose points surpassed 10,000, showed his name on it, with the time he had taken being 5 minutes to get from 0 to 12,000. This was the fastest anyone has ever scored points for. Luke was still nonchalant and aura farming, while the reaction of others when this announcement came was various. Claudia was shocked once again, but smiled as she thought, 'Here I was being worried about him, I should be worrying about at least catching up to him.' 

Lionheart twins stared in shock and admiration as, in their minds, the only one who could match Kalab was now Luke. Speaking of Kalab, he was not happy. "Fuck you luke!!" He spat out in anger and released a terrifying amount of energy, his system reacted with a new mission.

[ Mission: Defeat Luke Wayne

 Description: The goddess detected a threat to your future glory, Luke Wayne. Although he is not a champione his skills are way too suspicious to be passed as luck, figure out the secret behind his power or kill him before he becomes an even bigger mess.

Rewards: New affinity, Unique rank skill, Goddess' tears.]

Kalab stared at the system as his mind boiled, "What is it with the rewards?" Over the years, he figured out that the system grants him more rewards if it deems the quest more difficult. The rewards that the system offered now were so much more than just killing the pope, the strongest in the church, and taking his position. That means that the system just believes it is harder for him to defeat Luke than to become the pope; this infuriated Kalab. He would accept anyone being stronger than him, but not Luke, who stole his woman; that just means that he agrees that she made the right decision by leaving him.

The thronecrest sibling looked at the notification with curiosity, one's eyes were filled with bloodlust, while the other just pure lust. Nevin was simply chilling; he was also close to reaching 500 kills, and he would do so after his nap. Meanwhile, Issablea looked at this with an impassive gaze as a voice said in her head, "Forget Kalab, go for Luke, he seems much more powerful." 

Romanos was just mining and forgot about the world, while the other side's characters were in awe and reverence. Then the world became chaotic as people started to fight about who was better, Kalab or Luke, and factions started to form either on the princess and Wayne family side or the church side. Causing a unique phenomenon, since most of the people present decided to pick a side and go with it, there were now two alliances dominating the pocket world. One was the noble faction, while the other was the church of Light faction.
