"Finally it's starting" Ares muttered to himself as today is the day for Academy's Entrance Ceremony...

He stood in front of a mirror and was styling his hair, after a few seconds he stopped and admired himself, he was wearing a black loose T-shirt with black pants and black sneakers...

Though Academy has uniforms but they will be used after the class allocations, there will be some exams and the highest scoring individuals will be allotted to a special class, and other good and average students will be allotted to Alpha and Beta classes respectively, and different class students will have different uniforms and dorms then other classes.

And of course, the treatment for Special class students will be more luxurious and extravagant than in other classes...

As Academy follows the principle of "The strong deserve the best treatment" and "The survival of the fittest" rule...

It doesn't matter if you are a prince or princess if you're not strong enough then you won't get the best treatment...

POV Ares ~

After I got dressed and styled my hair, I checked on the Quest that I received from the System a few days ago, I never knew System has this kind of feature as well even in my previous world I never heard of anything like that,

The System prompt was different from my usual status screen...

****** SYSTEM NOTIFICATION*******

QUEST:- COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING,

1) GET THE HIGHEST SCORE IN ACADEMY'S ENTRANCE EXAMINATION ( NOT COMPLETED )

2) GET RANK #1 IN THE WRITTEN EXAMINATION ( NOT COMPLETED )

3) GET INTO THE SPECIAL CLASS ( NOT COMPLETED )

QUEST REWARD ~ ABILITY: UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

QUEST FAILURE ~ PENALTY

********************************

By completing the quest I will get involved in the main storyline, so the purpose of the quest is to get me involved in the storyline.

I wasn't planning on avoiding it anyway...I thought to myself while checking the quest,

"If I complete the first and second quest, the third will be completed automatically" I muttered to myself and checked the reward section,

'The ability universal language, though its description is not given I knew exactly what that ability is, it will help the user to speak and understand every language available,

it was in the form of blessing rather than ability though, it helped 'Lucas Eugene' the main character of the novel to talk and understand the language of gods. One of the Goddesses gave this blessing to Lucas to help him understand and communicate with her because not all the Gods and Goddesses speak the human language...

But it wasn't supposed to appear this early in the story though, it's like a major spoiler...' 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

I shook my head continuously and got out of my thoughts...

" I have to complete the quests first" I muttered to myself and left Mika Amami's mansion soon in front of the mansion's gate I was met with Helena who was waiting for me, we both greeted each other and got in Helena's car, unlike Mika's sports car Helena drives a muscle car...

As we both got in, Helena get the car started and we soon left towards the Academy,

I could have gone there by myself but Helena insisted on giving me a ride so I didn't refuse, I know she just wanted to show off her custom-made muscle car so I just played along...

"Where is your luggage, Ares?" Helena questioned while puffing her cigarette...

"Inventory" I replied

"Inventory?" she asked me with a questioning face,

"I mean Storage ring" I corrected myself as they don't know about my inventory,

"Oh, I see" She accepted my answer and spoke again,

"Will you be visiting Mika Amami's mansion on weekends?"

"I don't know if I got some free time I will come by" I answered nonchalantly...

" Give me a call when you are visiting, I still have many things to teach you," Helena said

" Sure" I replied to her while watching the scenery from the car's window

After a few minutes of traveling, we finally arrived in front of the Academy gate...

I got out of the car and said my farewell to Helena and showed my invitation to the guards that were guiding the gate,

After getting approval from the guards I was allowed to enter the gate...

As soon as I entered the gate I saw a small city-like landscape were at the center was a huge building where 'S'OREH ACADEMY' The next generation of heroes, that cringing lines were written,

"I suppose that's the academic building" I muttered to myself and looked around, the huge building was surrounded by many other buildings from luxurious to Average which seems to be the dorms, I tilted my head towards other places where other necessities shops, restaurants, and many other shops could be seen,

I went towards the main building where the Entrance ceremony is being held and went towards the auditorium...

As I entered the auditorium, I was met with all types of students and I saw many students glaring at me, some with fascination, some with curiosity, and some with.....jealousy? ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

I ignored their glares and sat in the corner seat of the hall and leaned on my seat while observing others and I saw many familiar faces in the crowd, as I was observing them I saw a figure getting on an auditorium stage,

It was a middle age man wearing specs with a well-shaved beard and long black hair and a well-built body wearing a black suit, soon he introduced himself as a Vice Dean of the Academy and gave a huge ass speech about the academy's history which I ignored and soon he came to the main point...

"The Examination will be a battle royal between all the 300 students present here which will be held in special magical space and top 40 students with the highest score will be allotted in the special class and rest will be allotted according to their ranks" he explained,

Soon a student raised his hand and asked a question,

"What should we do to eliminate other students"

The Vice Dean and other professors who were standing in the corner of the hall chuckled hearing the student's question, but soon vice dean answered...

"Of course, you have to kill them"

As soon as he completed those words murmurs can be heard all around, seeing them vice dean shook his head and clarified...

"Of course, nothing will happen to you even if you got yourself killed in that magical space, you will just be thrown out of magical space to reality"

"There will be some backlash if you died brutally though, but you will be alright after getting some rest"

He said and started to explain the examination again...

So in simple words, the magical space will get smaller as time went by and for every student, you kill you'll get 1 point and the more you kill the more points you get,

You wouldn't get any points by just surviving so hiding is not an option...

The magical space would be like a huge forest and as time went by it would start shrinking and push everyone remaining in the middle,

The duration of the examination is 3 hours, and your scores will be announced with every kill you get, and the examination will stop when only one candidate is left and scoring will be done after that...

The Examination will be held tomorrow in front of the audience which is 2nd and 3rd-year students and all the faculty professors will be present and some other guests as well.,

"It's like giving them a break to enjoy themselves while watching the first-year students kill each other" I muttered to myself shaking my head in dissatisfaction

'This world is more brutal than I thought I reminded myself again,

Soon the speech came to an end and everyone left the auditorium..,

'There will be a slaughter tomorrow' i said to myself and also left to my temporary allotted room...
