The day ended without anything exciting happening..
I couldn’t reach lissa for so reason, so I just slept off after teasing my beautiful aunt a bit more...
.....
"Ugghhh..." I woke up the next day, groaning and annoyed...
For so reason, the night hadn’t been as comfortable as the last few nights I’d spent, I wonder why?
(A/N: horny bastard wishes he can bury his tool sowhere..heh)
*********
"Alright, let’s see just what this is all about"
I had just gotten out the bath, not bothering to put anything on, I was perfectly comfortable in my bathrobe, thank you very much..
Now, I’d decided to ignore it completely yesterday because I was exhausted ntally and physically, not in any mood to be checking out gains..
But now, I had only a few hours before needing to gather back at the Solarium Spire, so I decide it was ti to finally check out what that ding from earlier was all about..
I willed the system log open..
[DING!!]
The familiar chiming of my sham system seed to have a grounding effect on ..
It felt like forever since I last heard the annoying thing’s voice..
[You have slain: Avatar of death(sealed state), x1 death fragnt...
[You have slain: Avatar of death(sealed state), x1 death fragnt...
"Huh? Now what the hell is this all about?" Avatar of death? Was that all they were?
So they were still rely projections after all..
Just how inhumanly powerful do you have to be for your projections to be so monstrous..
My expression fell even further when I registered the (Sealed state) tag behind their nas..
Not only were they re projections, but they were SEALED projections at that..
So their true projections weren’t even allowed to appear with their real strength?
"Fuck .. those two old n are really that powerful?"...
’so, you’re telling , that I wasn’t even qualified enough to face their re projections at full strength?’...
For the second ti in less than a whole 24 hour cycle, I’d been humbled properly..
"Dad, just what the fuck were you involved in, getting involved in such troubleso affairs".. I sighed ruefully..
"Now, what do I do with these things" i muttered, pulling out a death fragnt from my inventory..
As expected, it was a pitch black hexagonal crystal not any large than a baby’s fist, the thick aura of death escaping it made it clear just what it was, even without the system telling anything...
By the way, I’d just realized, for all my system’s claims about being all powerful and shit, this sham thing hadn’t even bothered to give an inspective or analytical ability..
[....]
"Of course you’d be silent, you sham system" I sneered..
Deciding not to waste anymore ti on my futile inspection of the item in my hand, I did the only thing I could possibly do at this mont..
Devour!!
A black mist coated my palm as it engulfed the entirety of the crystal..
....

I hadn’t bothered to check just how much my comprehension had increased during the battle, but it seed to have taken a significant leap..
From the depressing number of zeros to just a few decimals behind 1% I was finally making headway in this law I’d stumbled upon..
Without dawdling, I pulled out the second fragnt, promptly devouring it as well..

"Hmmm.. you know what they say, slow progress is better than no progress" I tried hyping myself up...
Done with what was the only unfinished business I had, I decided to get dressed and head out, the next tests awaited..
......
The environnt around the solarium spire seed even more crowded and charged than the day before, the noise and chatter from the people gave the entire area a lively atmosphere..
Honestly, hearing of the reputation behind the previous academy trials, I’d expected a more solemn atmosphere, yet this, I couldn’t lie, was much more to my liking, a smile unconsciously appeared in my face...
"There he is!!!!"
A deafening shout broke from my thoughts...
"Dante!!!! Oh my god... it’s him!!!" A maddening shriek almost sent flying out my shoes..
"Goddamn, who’s that siren??" I couldn’t help yelling back in frustration..
It was futile..
The crowd seed tid to be have been set off the Mont I appeared...
A stampede of people heading towards ..
"Yea, no way are we doing that.." I didn’t survive two unattractive death tals just to be mauled to death by an overexcited crowd..
I spread my perception imdiately, not bothering with the cost, willing myself gone from the public’s reach imdiately...
"Where is he.."
"Where’d he go.."
The crowd’s confused chatter reached my ears as I appeared swiftly on the platform ant for the candidates themselves...
"Heh... running from your adoring fans? What happened to all that confidence from earlier.." the thick voice of the overseer Valen, sounded right behind my sweaty fra...
I swiveled, only to be t with his annoying smirk..
"No offense sir, but I think I liked you better when you were a brooding robot" I couldn’t help replying..
This smiling Valen was seriously getting in my nerves..
"Acckkk...." He visibly gagged, the smirk being wiped off is face..
A surge satisfaction thrumd through, although It didn’t last long, as another annoying voice broke my jubilation..
"Humph... running from your worshippers, and you hope to amount to anything big.."
Leo, that goddamn griffin seed to have an opinion as well, his voice sounding amused and mocking..
"Goddamn creation misfire.." I retaliated imdiately, I’d be damned if I light a blender mishap get the last laugh...
"You take that back, right this instant!!"he seed to have heard my words, I didn’t know how, I didn’t care either...
"I already said soone with identity crisis like you has no say in anything..." I sneered, making sure to hit right below the belt....
"Motherfucker!!!"
"Language young man.."
"Language your mother... you better not let get my hands on you..." his seething voice only made smile..
"Try , I’ll turn you into crispy chicken wings, at least that way we’d have fixed you a proper identity... A chicken.. sound fitting.."
"Danteeeeeeeee!!!!"...
"Hahahahaha...."
Shingggg!!!!
A brilliant flash of light killed my laughter imdiately..
....
It seems ti was up as soon after, the surviving participants appeared in a brilliant flash of light...
It was finally ti to know the results of the first phase...
***********
A/N: we already Dante is in, but was he able to remain first? Maybe the tower pulled one over him...

Thanks for reading....
