About thirty minutes passed, and Dante didn't show any kind of reaction as he watched the young people go in front of him; in fact, he found it all quite boring. He thought that people with Silver Level wouldn't even get into the school, but it was quite the opposite. There were more than 120 candidates from Silver Rank.
"Am I too arrogant? Silver rank shouldn't be considered low level, right? Why are so many bad people passing so easily? I thought this was an elite academy." He really thought that way since that's how it was presented to him. Everything seemed too easy? He didn't even know what to do.
Dante observed everyone go ahead of him; he wanted to be the last, but everyone thought the same. After all the "normal" students were gone, only about 60 people remained. And these people were completely different from the Silver and Gold Rank groups that had passed; different energies began to emerge, and Dante was a little uncomfortable.
"So many strong energies... Have my senses deceived me?" He thought; he had sensed only eight people, but now, everyone in that field was emanating enough energy to be considered strong for their ages.
Soon, the numbers decreased; from sixty people to twenty, and then only those who really wanted to see all the strengths remained, but the first to give in was surprising.
The first to go was the Giant; he seemed to want to show off to the girls who were in that place. In Dante's view, he was the most hideous, but he had very high self-esteem, trying to convey something to the remaining girls... who honestly found him disgusting. "Poor thing..."
He went up to where the examiner was and then put his hand on the crystal. No one could see it, but the examiner and the Giant saw a message.
[ Forki Dolafor. Talent: Amethyst] The ball then shone like a diamond, and Forki left heading towards the exit gate. He looked back and used the "techinese" magic.
"Whoever the son of that woman is, he will be exterminated, and if any of you help or ally with him, I will consider you enemies..." He said sounding in the heads of everyone present.
Dante didn't look at him; in fact, he didn't care about the threat. What really worried him was the reaction of the other people; he already knew he would be intimidated, and honestly, he had a lot of personal problems with his past self in the last few days.
He didn't even have time to really think about it; everything was too fast, and the test continued.
Next, another young man stepped forward. He was tall, had platinum hair, a well-developed body, and strong fangs; Dante quickly identified him as the Son of the Werewolf King.
[Alexander Sucellus.Talent: Amethyst ] The ball then shone like a diamond, and Alexander left without saying anything, just staring into Elizabeth Tapes' eyes.
The rivalry between Vampires and Werewolves continued strong even in the new era. Dante really didn't understand why this rivalry went so far for nothing; it was just two races that hated each other, but he couldn't understand no matter how hard he tried. Couldn't they just ignore each other and move on?
He, for example, had nothing against a Werewolf, and would love to meet a female Wolf, just like the Demi-humans. Maybe because he found everything interesting? Who knows, he doesn't even care about that; he is honest with himself, and if he wants to have a friendly relationship with a Werewolf, he will, and no one has the right to interfere.
Next, with a slight anger, the Vampire Girl decided to move and stood up with an angry look in her eyes. She seemed angry for a long time.
"Does she have a brother named Alucard? So far, no Alucard has appeared in this plot, I hope there's an Alucard for me to beat up." Dante slowly thought as memories of old novels he read passed through his mind. "Two Deagles... damn, that's so cool."
Meanwhile, the girl injected mana into the sphere, and the message appeared for the administrator conducting the tests.
[ Elizabeth Tapes.Talent:Celestial ] The ball shone again like a diamond, and Elizabeth gave a sly look to Dante; he felt it slightly, and he showed nothing.
"She has a good talent; the examiner couldn't help but be surprised." Dante noticed that the examiner slightly raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes wide, almost trying to clean his vision to confirm what he was seeing.
Before the next participant could go through the test, a woman approached Dante, a young one.
"Looks bored." The woman said while aligning herself side by side with Dante without looking at him.
"This is all boring." Dante replied, crossing his arms and yawning. He really found all this a waste of time; he just wanted to go to the hotel and sleep until the next day.
"I understand you; it really was a very boring test." While fixing her blue hair, Dante remained silent; he didn't want to give any hints about who he was. Meanwhile, the other participants were passing, and only three people were left: Dante Scarlet, Sara Vortex, and Elowyn Frostsky, the Elven Princess.
Elowyn ignored everyone and just went ahead and put her hand on the crystal.
[ElowynFrostsky.Talent: Celestial ] She left without saying anything to the examiner or the two left behind.
"Who's going first?" Sara asked, but Dante didn't mind, waving his hand; his tired, hoarse voice said, "You can go, if I go first, it might cause problems for you." With a gentle smile, he sat back on the ground and waited for the girl to make her entrance.
"What do you mean it might cause me problems? How arrogant!" Sara Vortex wondered as she ignored the black-haired boy and approached the sphere.
[Sara Vortex. Talent:Celestial] She saw the result and left the place satisfied. Dante then stood up and went towards the sphere to put his hand on it. She stayed at a considerable distance and watched him carefully with all his movements.
"Even walking, he avoids unnecessary movements. It seems my master was right, again..." Sara murmured when she finally began to understand who the boy was.
For the first time in her life, she was slightly interested in someone. She found him curious and wanted to observe the boy in front of her more because who would go to the point of even avoiding unnecessary movements while walking? It interested her! What kind of life did he have? What happened to make him like this? The more questions she asked herself, the more the answers were missing.
"He's definitely the son of that woman!" Sara quickly came to this conclusion; of course, this was the hint her master gave, but it didn't matter now.
Dante had already understood why the girl's eyes shone so much... She was already understanding the situation; he felt a slight happiness because he confirmed that this girl wouldn't harm him.
"You know, my mother taught me a saying once." Dante said while looking at Sara, who was a little scared by the sudden sentence. "Curiosity killed the cat."
[DanteScarlet.Talent: ??? ] The test executor was bewildered and very scared, as if he had seen something surreal, and before he said anything, the pearl exploded into thousands of pieces that scared both the Test Executor and Sara, who quickly pulled out Durandal to defend against the shards.
Sara stared at Dante, and a tremendous pressure lightly exerted on her body; the explosion scared her, but what really left her perplexed was the staredown they both had at that moment. Sara stepped back slightly, but a smile appeared on Dante's face, and he began to speak again.
"It's nice to meet you, Your Majesty, Princess of the Eastern Empire, Sara Vortex." Dante said with a smile on his face while saluting as an Easterner does, bowing slightly.
Sara was still scared; she was curious but didn't know she would find a Dragon instead of a swordsman... but she got even more excited when the atmosphere became comical between them.
"It's nice to meet you, Scarlet's son." Sara said lightly with a smile.
'Now I've ruined everything because I got carried away! Damn protagonist line! I gave away my identity to a rival! Idiot!!'
In his mind, when Dante returned to normal, he realized the mess he had gotten into.
"Keep this a secret, okay? I know everyone will find out quickly, but for now, I want to keep up appearances." Dante said and looked at the girl completely covered in dust from the pearl explosion that left a lot of magical dust in the atmosphere.
"I think you should go change, princess." Dante said looking into the girl's eyes, and she glanced slightly at her body.
"Kyaaa!!!" Her face turned red when she saw that she was only wearing the lower part of the armor and her skirt, revealing slightly her cleavage, and her armor pieces were on the ground.
She screamed and quickly covered herself while Dante turned to the other side and whistled lightly, watching the clouds.
"In my defense, I didn't keep looking at you." He said with his back turned, and something flew at his head.
"OUCH!!" He shouted as he saw a piece of Sara's shoulder plate hit him. 'How did I not dodge that?'
"Be quiet! Disappear from here! Never talk to me again!" She shouted several times.
'And to think that the imposing knight I met just now was actually quite cute when embarrassed. Hehe.' These were his last thoughts before disappearing from the training ground.
"This is going to be fun."
