Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 297. Magic School Academy Entrance Examination: Area Level C bag. 2
Mark looked at the entire participant with his cold gaze.
"Although it's said to be a team fight, if you can't make me acknowledge you then it will be a one-sided slaughtering ground"
"It is better to choose a strong friend so that you do not immediately I beat easily"
All participants see each other. Not out of fear or confusion, but because they feel that it is impossible.
"I'm sorry, isn't this the acceptance of the academy's students. Why do we all have to form teams?" ask a participant
Mark looked at the participant with a flat face while tilting his head slightly.
"Coming wrong? If the rules say you have to undress, it means you have to undress"
"But, we all don't know each other's backgrounds and everyone here definitely doesn't want to pin their hopes on others"
"That's right! If there was a weakling who formed a team with a strong person, then he would just be a burden or take the opportunity to enter this place!" shouted another participant who was behind
All the participants almost agreed with all of that
They refuse to make a team with dangerous rules.
"Just because of one or two people, we can fail. That's too crazy!"
"Really! I don't want to!"
All the participants looked so upset. But apparently, the examiner was still acting very relaxed.
He could still yawn and asked for a seat to sit on.
Kaito sees that attitude as one of his ways of hiding his true strength.
'He seems not serious. But, his eyes kept on burning. Like..being activate magic!'
Kaito. He quickly jumped to the side. Unexpectedly the girl named Virgo, three lizardmen and several other participants came running to the back.
From above the participants, there was a magic circle that locked almost half of the examinees into the magic circle.
[Magic Circle: Spell Binding Chain]
The participants who were trapped inside the magic circle were locked and from under their feet, came a magic chain that bound both their hands and feet.
"Tester, what does this mean?! We can't move!"
"Take us off, testers!"
Mark who was already sitting on the chair taken by the examination supervisor finally looked serious.
"You know, out of the 90 people who participated, there were only 21 people who could avoid my magic"
"While all of you are even whining to ask me to release you. Think of it this way..."
With crossed legs, Mark pointed towards the participant outside the magic circle, "They're all that's there strong," then Mark pointed towards the participant trapped inside his magic circle, "And you there are weak people with a lot of behavior"
Mark's red eyes were more and more wrong, "You dare say that you are afraid of your fate failing because of the weak people in the team when you are the weak ones. So bad"
"I reiterate, the ones who should be talking like that are those outside my magic circle"
"Their dexterity, analysis, premonition and sensitivity to danger are the main foundations of passing in the exams of this area"
With his cynical and cold eyes, Mark said to everyone, "All of you who are inside my magic circle can be considered to be failing this very second"
"......!!"
Everyone who saw and heard this was shocked. It was also felt by the two examinees who accompanied him.
"I refuse to accept an incompetent person in his field, belittling others before a fight, feeling he is more than others when he is a real loser"
Mark activated his other magic.
[Sound of Life: Calliope]
The voice magic was similar to Lucas' previous [Sound of Life: Orpheus], but the effect allowed everyone to hear telepathy aimed at just one person.
"Lucas, do you hear me?"
"What's up, Mark?"
"You see everything I'm doing right now?"
"I see. You sit with your legs crossed. Is the chair less for the others? I can have someone else bring it if I need to"
"Ah, no. The seats are enough. Thank you"
Lucas' voice asked Mark, "Has [Level C Area] there not started yet? Rooms 1 and 4 started a while ago"
"......!!" everyone was surprised
Inside that sealed room, they could hear another voice appearing. The voice of the young man was gentle yet also authoritative.
"This.. Lucas Xelhanien's voice?" kaito said
Virgo immediately muttered in his heart, 'Lucas Xelhanien, our target is looking at everything'
Mark asked the leader, "I meant to tag the duel as you ordered. But it seems that many participants had bigger mouths than abilities"
"When the examination room I held was the room with the most participants. But, it seems to contain only trash and chatty people"
"Then, what do you want?" ask Lucas
"I mean to process less than half of it"
The voice was silent for some time before finally speaking again, "How many are unqualified there?"
"69 out of 90 people. Only 21 people deserve to be selected"
Hearing that, the participants inside Mark's magic circle immediately shouted towards Lucas' voice.
"That's not true! We deserve to enter this place!"
The many sounds that were created made Lucas who was in his room let out a long sigh.
"Mark, didn't you say you wouldn't make me work hard? There haven't been thirty minutes, I've heard complaints from the people in your examination hall"
"What can I do. I want them to hear from the direct leader"
"You really can't see me resting. Alright. I'll listen to the complaint" first"
Lucas' voice asked the participant Mark deemed unworthy, "So tell me, what makes you sure you still deserve to be tested?"
Participants who filed the protest at the beginning said the reason.
"We were asked to tag a duel and form a team with foreign participants whose abilities we didn't even know about"
"Then?"
"The examiner said if half of our team lost against him then we would all be killed. We don't accept that"
"Why?"
"Because I want to graduate!!"
"......"
"I'm sure the others are just like me. They wanted to show that he deserved to be recognized and become a member of the Magic Council"
"With my strength, I believe I can make everyone want to acknowledge my prowess and I can defeat the enemy!"
Kaito who heard it just muttered, "It's so naive"
Apparently, Virgo thinks the same thing, "He doesn't know the meaning of power"
The participant continued to brag about the prowess and impropriety if his fate failed because of the weak people he had teamed with.
"so. I understand" Lucas said casually
"really?" said some of the participants who were inside Mark's magic circle
Their happy faces are visible and some even scoff at Mark's incompetent decision as a tester.
"Listen to that, tester! Even your superiors understand this better!"
"Yes, listen to that!"
Mark was silent. Not long after, Lucas' voice spoke again.
"Mk..."
"How's it?" ask Mark to relax
"The 69 failed. You can get them out of that room. Process the 21 participants you have chosen"
"Roberts"
"What?!" all the participants were shocked and did not accept the unilateral decision of the vote in the room
Their grief and frustration continue to be shown. Having already lost control, the examinee began to take action.
"Mark-sama, we will take care of this"
"Do as you like"
The two guards cast their magic.
[Bind Gravity]
Still in Mark's magic effect, now all 69 participants were instantly speechless withstanding the gravitational force that was suppressing them.
"It's been quite your disrespectful act. Lucas-sama's decision is absolute. Besides, from here we'll judge"
The two examinees cast their magic and forcibly removed the numbers from the hands of the 69 participants.
"You have been declared a failure. Leave this place now carefully and try to register in the next year"
"I don't accept it!"
The participant who resisted with an excited feeling earlier tried to attack the examinee and with ease, one of the supervisors threw him all the way to the door.
"Participant number 290 was declared blacklisted"
"You won't be allowed to take the re-selection exam forever because of the provocative and insulting actions of the examiner"
Hearing the examination supervisor's words, the participants' hearts grew even more upset and angry. He was willing to cast his magic.
Mark stood up and ran straight towards him. Suddenly it disappeared, everyone was shocked. The movement is very fast.
It didn't take long, Mark was already standing in front of him while pointing his finger at the participant's neck.
"I forgot to introduce myself to the real thing. My name is Mark Vermillion, Special Division Captain and a man who used to deal with criminals like you"
"Here, apart from Lucas, I have a special authority that no one, including Master Dresden, the Master of the School Board, can deny"
"That special authority is to kill and eliminate people who are against the Magic School Academy, including participants who failed before the exam began"
"If you don't want to die in vain because I won't be prosecuted, you better go out and try next year"
"I'll let you take the re-selection exam and remove you from the blacklist"
"Now, you and 68 other failed people are welcome to come out well"
Hearing that explanation scared them.
Finally, all participants who failed had to be heartened and out of the room.
Post 7, the examination hall [Level C Area] had approved 0 people and foiled 69 people out of a total of 90 participants. The remaining 21 participants must be tested.
