The villainess shall be mine-Chapter 161 The Holy Academy’s Test (Part 11)
"This is your room. You can ask Cristal if there's something you need. The room is equipped with a lot of weird things after all."
After finishing laying the groundwork for the second part of the plan, we headed to a new building that I bought using the money from the auction. 12 billion of IC was not in the least a small amount of money.
"Is the whole building yours?" Bianca asked, seeing how big the place was.
"Yeah, I just bought it. We are the elite of the elite. This is nothing compared to the things that we are about to do from here," I said. "Well, rest for today. We have a lot of things to take care of tomorrow."
"Hey, Adam. If you die now, it would be a problem. You should also stop thinking and just sleep sometimes. Don't say that I didn't warn you later…"
While mumbling something to me, Blanca closed the door of her room abruptly.
Despite how she looked, I felt that her impression of me had improved a little bit. Well, I didn't dislike her too.
Nonetheless, I still had things to take care of before I could sleep.
"Cristal, did you get the layout of the arenas?"
"Yes, I managed to get them from Gerrard's files."
"Nice. Let's do this. We have to make sure that the Raizel family raise in fame after this event. We will attack the Empire from both sides."
"Are you sure about this plan, though?" Cristal asked, and it had been a while since she suggested something or commented about my plans.
"Have you found a flaw?"
"That's not the case. Yet, the probability of success is not also high."
"I am aware of this. However, before we face some unexpected variable, we need to finish laying the groundwork."
"I also agree with this, master. Nonetheless, I found it strange that things have been going so smoothly even though we haven't even collected all of the necessary data for the next plan. We had, of course, made our moves while being extremely cautious, but for some reason, something is missing. I am not a human and I am relying on the data stored in my system, so I can't determine precisely what is missing," Cristal explained.
"Mmm… Well, I am probably too focused on my perception of things, that's why I didn't notice anything like that. What's missing?"
After listening to Cristal, I began to recall all of the events that happened after I came back from beyond the portals.
Everything that I did from there was for my sake and the people that I cared about. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢
Nonetheless, things weren't as simple as they sounded, and I devised a plan to reach my goals.
Things were going smoothly until now, but Cristal suggested that something was missing.
"Ah! Are you referring to my mother's nature and also human's and monster's evolution?"
"I already know that you have a plan for this. My concern is related to the Holy Church, but you have also designed a plan to deal with them. Nonetheless, Pride said to be wary of this organization. Therefore, despite what we know, I still haven't made the connection between the dark side of the Empire and the Holy Church."
"Mmm… You are not wrong. The Empire controls everything on the surface, but the dark side of the Empire controls the hidden side of this world. We know that the Holy Church is plotting something, but we haven't yet uncovered its goal. It wouldn't even be a surprise if the Holy Church used the dark side to conceal its true nature. If that is the case…"
"Pride also explained about how the battle between the two Primordial Gods hadn't reached a definite conclusion yet."
"Yeah, now that I think about it, it wouldn't be strange if some people were trying to revive the God of Void. There are a lot of mysteries related to this, of course, such as, how did the God of Void manage to motivate these people to do so. And how are they going to do it? Still… Mmm… One girl can destroy the world… Don't tell me! It's so absurd that I have a hard time accepting it, but such a thing would be indeed possible in this world. The question was how? Who? Where? And when this would happen."
If I could possess the two Primordial Authorities, why wouldn't it be possible for the God of Void to be reincarnated inside of a human body?
Nonetheless, what kind of human body could assimilate such existence? And in the first, place, as far as Pride said, the God of void should be still imprisoned in an infinite loop. Was there a way for him to break free?
"It seems like you reached the answer on your own, master."
"Cristal, you…"
"It was a good thing that you changed and decided to deal with things with your power, but seeing the big picture also means that you will not see all of the details," Cristal said and I agreed with her. "Pride's words might be the key to your success. I advise master to remember everything he said."
I wouldn't say that I got sidetracked, because everything I did now was necessary, but as Cristal said, it was easy to miss the details when I focus too much on the bigger picture.
"I guess finding the girl and preventing them from destroying the world isn't enough. It's getting more of a pain. Tsk! I feel like someone is laughing somewhere. Nonetheless, we need to take prepare for the test for now."
*****
The next day, all of the participants were gathered in a very spacious area somewhere within the Holy Academy's area.
After that, were given some instructions and were given some quizzes that were sent inside of the device we obtained at the registration area. It seemed like they were called SDP (Student's data packet ).
I didn't care about the name, but when I received it, I had already checked everything and I saw it was equipped with a tracking function.
Various things could be done with it, but to think that they would just send us the quizzes just like that. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎
The quizzes were multiple choice questions, and the participants needed to answer one question before moving to the next one.
It looked like a game. Therefore, I just thought about it as a game and dealt with all of the levels as fast as possible. I didn't even need Cristal's help. I finished all of the 500 levels in 15 minutes. Waiting for the system to check my answer was the only reason why it took me 15 minutes to do it.
At first, I thought that the test was a bit ridiculous, but after observing the other students, I knew what the people in charge wanted to do.
After receiving the quizzes, the students were free to go wherever they wanted, as long as it was within the Academy's area.
I didn't bother checking the rules, but I knew that there were penalties for every form, or attempt to, cheat.
The SDP was equipped with a camera, voice recorder, and some kind of GPS. As such, even though the students were free to do whatever they wanted, they were also made aware that they were responsible for their choice.
Not being able to see the next question, and not being able to answer them without having the device in their hand and looking at it, it was almost impossible to cheat.
The order of the questions was also randomized for every student despite the questions' difficulty being divided into three categories.
I had, of course, chosen the most beautiful place that I could find around the Academy to settle while doing the test, even though it just took me fifteen minutes.
I created a beautiful-looking table, chairs, and even a little chalet with my power. Of course, all of it was black, but it still merged well with natural flowers and plants around.
,m Nevertheless, the pretentious kids who thought of themselves as people who stood at the top of the hierarchy began to look at me with odd eyes.
I knew that they had certainly remembered what happened with the guards, and so I predicted that some of them would take the opportunity to build some kind of connection with me and also evaluate my capabilities.
They were all the same, and it was not like I was different from the, from this perspective. As such, they would only serve one purpose for me.
"Hello there! Can we sit next to you?"
A group of girls who looked like some bunch of human-sized dolls approached me first. It looked like they noticed that I put my SDP away after finishing the text, and just waited casually for the announcement that those who had finished could leave.
I wasn't saying that they were ugly but there was something that somehow made them all identical in my eyes.
