Chapter 35 Last Test... Unique Test
Chapter 35 Last Test... Unique Test
The second crystal could not resist its EPs. Normally, its advanced rank corresponded perfectly to the crystal that is supposed to measure the magical energy of an advanced mage and a master rank mage. But Alvine was different, just with the amount of his magical energy!
*Hehe... master, to the next one!! * -Sabrina cheerful!
He shook his head with helplessness by discovering the new facets of this girl. 'She likes to stand out indeed.' Thought Alvine while walking nonchalantly towards the fourth crystal while the supervisor and students were in a second state! But among the crowd, only red-haired Guelph had his "clear ideas" and gnashed the teeth of annoyance. And before Alvine can touch the blue crystal,
"Wait for a moment! I'm sure you rigged all the crystals to make you stand out! What a dishonor!" Guelph couldn't stand Alvine anymore. He was the most envious genius in the whole room! But this little human who had just arrived not even ten minutes ago was cheating to climb to the top. He won't let that pass!
Alvine signaled to Sabrina not to intervene, this arrogant demon was not difficult to manage even if he was one step away from reaching advanced rank.
As for the supervisor, she was mute like a grave. She knew that it was impossible to her knowledge to rig magic crystals, moreover, it was because of this confidence that the dean opted for crystals and not bracelets despite their low resistance to a high-level mage!
Alvine looked lazily at this demon who was burning with rage with his dark cyan mana breaking around his body. No one had dared to contradict it among the students on site. They were either afraid or agreed with him!
"So why not come and test this one with your magical energy?" Asked Alvine with a diabolical smile.
"...!!!" Everyone in the room knew what will happen when an intermediate level tries to test its level with a green crystal. But Alvine offers him to come and test his level on a blue crystal!
"Hm, I will reveal your crime in front of everyone!" Despite his nervousness, he could not believe for a second that Alvine could achieve such a feat, he was ready to take the risk to save his reputation in the face of a human! Demons have always been enemies with humans, despite the rules that prohibit racism, the long-standing hatred between them will not disappear as easily.
Guelph walked with confidence and arrogance before the eyes and whispers of hundreds of students and touched the blue crystal with trembling hands that could not be hidden. Just when he touched the crystal, his mana was like a drop of water falling on a sponge. All his magical energy was sucked up dry to the last drop in less than three seconds, he had not even had time to utter a painful cry before he fainted! He fell with a *BOM* on the hard ground who was like a mirror because of his straightener.
"Brother!!" Gaplh sailed to Guelph, which was fainted on the ground. He cast a deadly look at Alvine who was nonchalantly standing next door as if he wanted to skin him alive.
But fortunately, the supervisor had intervened. "Galph, bring him to the infirmary of the Magi. It was his fault to dare to question my observations. He had what he put on!" She affirmed in an angry tone.
Galph had goosebumps when he heard the supervisor's warnings... Who didn't know berserker who is known for her impatience and warmblood?
While both were talking or rather, while the supervisor was preaching Galph...
"CRAAACK!! BOOM!!!" Alvine exploded his third crystal! It was as if he wanted to wake everyone up from their dizziness!
"Ahhhh!!! You! Why do you want to destroy our test crystals? Do you want me to take away contribution points?" She exploded with rage against this scourge she had just welcomed in her room not long ago... but which had just broken the record of the former troublemaker!!
"Hm? But I still don't know if I passed the test or not. After all, You still haven't announced anything." Answers Alvine innocently with a mocking smile.
"..." everyone had only one thought in their heads... 'Who to allow such a type to take the test?'
"My master is not wrong, if you had announced instead, he will not do one thing intentionally." Sabrina intervened to support her master's arguments.
"It's okay I'll let it pass for this time, but if he commits other carnage, the costs will be at his expense!" She tried to calm down while giving a final warning. "The next step is to be able to cast a rank spell...
Before she could finish her sentence, a soothing glow of incomparable purity lit up in Alvine's right hand...
[Affinity of light of intermediate rank.]
He almost left their orbits when they saw Albine nonchalantly launch magic of light without incantation. Is he a new student? Sigh, they had to check his age and level. I don't need to check again. It would be a waste of time' - the supervisor.
"Very well, take this badge and head to the place of your last test. Unlike the two tests you managed to pass smoothly, don't neglect your last test... otherwise, the price could be your life!" She advised him while giving him a plaque with his badge.
Alvine and his maid did not waste time, they followed in their footsteps towards the exit under the dazed eyes of hundreds of students.
"Haha, you seem to have a fun master." Once outside, Sabrina dropped her mask of indifference and burst out laughing at the actions of her master who looked in a good mood since he miraculously regained his cultivation potential.
"They are only children who know nothing about the cruelty of this world. My goal is to be strong... no matter what means I use under my disposal." He said with a mischievous smile.
Sabrina knew what he wanted to talk about... the trials he had gone through in recent weeks have completely changed his way of thinking. She could confirm this sensation just by looking at the lights that contained in his master's eyes!
"Hehe, why do you speak like an old monster who had lived for several centuries? You are still a baby who has not yet grown up." She says in a teasing tone.
"Hehe, are you sure of that? Can you always check to see if I'm a baby or not? Pay attention to yourself, otherwise, you can end up like Nicco or Ashia!" A mischievous smile appeared on his lips. He knew very well that this girl wanted to tease him, nor did he miss this opportunity to reply.
Its cheeks blush slightly before returning to their original pink colors. "Master, do you think I'm so easily intimidated? You're not mature enough to have me, Hehe." She replied with amusement before taking up her serious face as her next words. "In short, your next test is a test that could put your life at risk if you underestimated the test then please be careful... master." -Sabrina
Seeing the serious aura that was manifesting around her body, Alvine knew that his next test will not be pie. "Don't worry about that, I've never underestimated anything since the beginning of my tests and it's not about to change." He said in a reassuring voice that emanated from trust and mistrust at the same time.

It took them more than an hour of travel on the arch to get to the center of the "city". And there a gigantic black tower that stabbed the clouds because of its height and several hundred meters wide awaited them on the spot... The tower of Brisht itself!
"This is the very essence of the academy, towers are one of the mysteries of this world, they have existed since the world was not inhabited by beings endowed with intelligence. According to legend, they were built by the primordial deities! They contain rare affinities that are given only by the tower. Like spatial affinity, time, lightning... and so on. And it was through them that he could get strange skills that never appeared on the planet!" She stopped to catch her breath. But before she can continue...
"But the rare affinities such as space and time are acquired after reaching divine rank, aren't they? And besides, the accident I had had was related to space magic that I had tried to launch." Alvine interrupts Her with his question.
But everything Sabrina had retained... "It seems that you were really lucky to survive this, Master. By the way, how did you find the method to take such a risk? Sigh, we'll talk about it afterward... most importantly, you must know that reaching divine rank and being able to be blessed by a divine law are two completely different things! Those who have awakened divine laws outside one of the towers master only a tiny part of it... to perfectly master a divine law, you must necessarily go through one of the towers!" She says her words without a shadow of doubt in her eyes!
Alvine felt strange to see her so well informed about the deities. To his knowledge, mortals are not supposed to know his information about divinities. So how can she be so sure as if she had experienced it? Out of curiosity, Alvine simply asked for it. "Sabrina, how do you know so much information about divinities and divine laws? How can you be so sure of the validity of his information?"
"..." -Sabrina
'I suspected it, every time I ask certain questions she avoids them with other subjects or she decides not to simply answer!'-Alvine.
Instantly, an embarrassing silence settled between them as if they were two strangers who had just met. "No need to be depressed for that, I know that for some reason, you can't answer some of my questions yet..." Alvine tried to lighten the atmosphere by seeing the depressing expression of his maid.
"I'm sorry master." She said in a discouraged tone.
"But I have only one question... can I trust you?" He questioned it in a cold tone that he had never used since his return to the castle after the problem with Yury. His eyes were fixed on Sabrina's as if he wanted to see the depths of her soul! Being betrayed by his friends, trapped by his colleagues, abandoned by everyone in his life passed, and Assiaphir Gleph'nir... his trust was harder to earn more than anyone else!
But before Sabrina could answer his question, a roque voice resounded in his head...
*Your test begins now, Son of the renegade!! * just after this sentence, a magic rune appeared under his feet... he disappeared instantly before Sabrina could get out of her dizziness because of his master's question.
[Forced teleportation]
"Master!!!!" Shouted Sabrina when she saw his master disappear instantly and the tower that shone strangely... she had a bad premonition! The tower had never openly invoked someone like that even in legends!
All those inside the tower were teleported outside except Alvine. Strange things did not stop there, just after the ejection of the last person, the main door was sealed by a red archaic seal.
She knew now that she could no longer save her master even if she wanted it with all her heart.
___
At Alvine Castle, Ashia, who had a deep connection with Alvine, jumped in panic. "My connection with the master has just been blocked!" The anxiety could be read on her face as she said her words standing next to the dining table with Nicco... they had just finished their lunch.
