On the side of Rando and Trevor..
They both came out of the first team room and were still upset by Noel's behavior just now, actually Rando still wanted to beat him to the brunt but he did not want to act rashly and then start a mess that would be bad for his uncle's Black Dragon team.
Finally, the two of them could only bite their fingers and resist the emotions that were inside their chests.
Next day..
Noel had already arrived the front page in the fighting arena as ordered by Harley earlier.
He went inside and saw so many would-be guild members taking this entrance exam.
Noel walked towards the line of examinees and marched there.
“Haha, look at those losers..! With such strength, being able to get into the trash team alone is already very good” said one of the guild member entrance examination participants.
He's got Stein, though, a son of a noble family who was influential enough for the kingdom of Rodo because it has helped a lot to launch trade and form alliances with other kingdoms so that it brought a lot of benefits to the kingdom of Rodo.
Suddenly, the sound of an explosion rang out above the sky signaling the test was about to begin.
Harley and the entire captain and vice-captain of each core team walked past the participants and in the upper stands to witness the competence of the examinees.
“Ehem, welcome the examinees..! As you know, those who sit in the upper stands are important people who will watch your exams later” said a host of the same event every year.
He introduced everyone sitting in the upper stands one by one.
The core teams to be introduced were sequential from the weakest to the strongest based on strength levels.
The first and the weakest among the core team is the Ultra team led by captain Sperio and vice-captain El Papi.
The second was the Thunder Wolf team led by vice-captain Lily who was also the grandson of the guild leader. The team is led only by a vice-captain because their captain was killed while saving Lily from a monster attack with a level 9 power they accidentally encountered while hunting.
The third was Fang's team led by captain Gordon and vice-captain Lindsay.
The fourth is the Killer Hand team led by captain Uzi and vice-captain Momo.
The fifth and most powerful among the core team is the Black Dragon team led by captain Rey and vice-captain Trevor.
As the host was about to continue his words, Harley stood up and cut off his words.
He jumped into the middle of the fighting arena then said, “before this exam starts, I will announce something.!”.
Of course everyone was confused because this was the first time Harley had done this in an entrance examination of the guild members.
All this time, they knew Harley as a strong figure but did not care about the results of the entrance examination because it had been left to each captain and vice-captain of each team.
If no one is selected by one of the core teams, the examinees would only enter the team and would not be considered to be in this guild but they would still be able to take the mission even if not how much the reward was.
But, this time Harley looked excited at this entrance examination, there must be something that made her so.
“Haha, I know you must be confused..! But, I promise I won't let you guys down..! Because I will announce the new captain of the Thunder Wolf team who has been 3 years led by my grandson alone”, said Harley while looking at the participants where there is Noel there.
The examinees looked very awkward and nervous because they thought Harley was one of the participants because Harlet already saw the potential of one of the participants.
“Noel, come here.!” harley said as he pointed towards the line of examinees, and everyone including the captains and vice-captains of the first team looked towards that line.
But, uh, Rando and Trevor who looked the most surprised because they knew who Noel was because they had met yesterday in the core team hall and Noel also who had humiliated them both in the presence of the core team members who had been others.
Noel walked out of the line towards the middle of the fighting arena and was immediately greeted by Harley.
Lily as the vice-captain of the Thunder Wolf team, felt unwelcome because of the person she had just seen and moreover that person was one of the examinees.
If you think about it logically, there might be someone who is suddenly that strong and immediately becomes the captain of a core team, Lily thought.
“Grandfather, isn't this a mistake?” ask Lily in a slightly snapping tone.
“Hehe, how is this a mistake? I've found a talented kid to be the new captain for the Thunder Wolf” team Harley replied while playing his white beard.
Lily still could not accept it even though she knew that Harley could judge one's strength just by looking at it and it was never wrong.
But, this time everyone who was there preferred not to directly believe it.
Some of them even thought, it was possible that harley's ability to judge one's strength had already greatly decreased as it was getting older.
It was possible that Noel who was mediocre in appearance and did not show any special strength could be that strong to become a captain in one of the adventurer guild's core teams.
“Hmm, indeed if there is no evidence, you will not believe it. All right, then.” Harley looked towards Noel then towards the participants.
“Then, I will change the flow of this exam..! Anyone who manages to defeat this child, will enter the core team and you are free to choose any team.!” harley said with great confidence.
Of course all the captains and vice-captains of the core team stood surprised by Harley's remark just now, they couldn't believe that their guild leader was already so stupid like this.
Risking the guild's good name and future was only for someone they didn't know of its potential and strength.
But, to all the other participants, this was good news because they saw a very mediocre Noel and did not even look like a fighter, he said, it even looks more like a lowly farmer in a remote village.
“Hoho, this will be very easy..! You hear that, Mr Rey? After this please cooperate in your team” said one of the examinees to Rey the captain of the Black Dragon team.
Rey only fell silent annoyed and stared cynically at all the examinees and also at Harley for changing the course of the exam arbitrarily without their prior approval.
“Hahaha, then, Noel..” Harley said as he patted Noel on the shoulder.
“Old man, what do you mean do this? Do you think they deserve to be my opponent?” said Noel who again made everyone in the examination arena open his mouth wide.
Who is this brat, why is it so daring to say such a thing to the guild master that even king Tokae respects him so much, thought everyone who was very curious.
“Wush.. Bruk..” one of the examinees instantly jumped into the fighting arena just after Harley returned to the upper stands.
“Include, my name..” he did not have time to introduce himself, an invisible attack immediately threw the body of the participant out of the arena and hit the wall so hard that he was not aware.
“Ups, looks like I'm flicking too strong huh? Or are you the only one who is so weak?” noel said without changing position from the beginning and looked very calm.
“A-what just happened?” say everyone.
All the captains of the first team seemed to have no confidence in what they saw, albeit very quickly, they had seen for a moment Noel just nudged his finger from a distance and an extremely powerful magic energy instantly shot towards the participant.
They fellow core team captains also glanced at each other and nodded their heads as if agreeing to something.
They agreed to assume the attack just now was just a coincidence, as they still had to ascertain the strength that Noel possessed.
“Hoaamm, next? Oh wait, let's get this over with quickly because I don't want to waste any more of my time..! All of you, go ahead at once.!” said Noel challenged all the examinees who numbered more than 100 people.
But, instead of being provoked, all participants including the core team members who were watching instead railed against Noel because it was so arrogant just because it had only defeated 1 person, just because it had defeated 1 person, and it also seemed to be the weakest among them.
Finally remaining 1 person who advanced to fight Noel, he was Khali who mastered fire element magic with level 5 power.
“Wah, this time the person will definitely be silenced..!” said one of the spectators who was a guild member who had joined in the last year.
However, while Khali was still casting spells, Noel said “Wind bullet.!” while pointing his finger at Khali.
“Wush.. Craaaattt..!” blood spilled everywhere, now Khali only has one hand because the next one has just been cut off from his body.
With a pale face, Khali screamed in pain and rolled on the ground while calling out to his mother.
“Don't I already tell you to attack at once?” noel said with a faint smile and ridicule.
Feeling furious at being humbled by him, all the examinees immediately filled the examination arena.
“Wah, that person will really die by his own arrogance” said Gordon the captain of the Fang team.
“Hahaha, this is getting interesting..! I wonder if his abilities match his words?” captain Sperio of the Ultra team.
“But, if it's true that he can beat them all, doesn't that mean he's stronger than you captain Rey?” asked captain Uzi of the Killer Hand team but there was no response from captain Rey as he was looking closely at what Noel would do next with that many opponents.
