The exits were closed. With that, no more examinees were allowed inside the building. The doors didn't just block others from entering but also stopped Eren from sneaking out.
Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't have been troubleso for him as he just had to show so random ability and get through this test.
He still had the ability he stole from the Sea Serpent that he could present differently to be considered a Hero. However, that was only until this item was bought out.
He didn't expect them to have a legendary tier artifact which was not going to asure what was shown by an examinee but asure the strongest ability of the person.
Just to confirm that the man was telling the truth, he used Identification on the Crystal Sphere.
....
Item Na: Sphere of Judgent
Item Grade: Legendary
Description: asures the rank of a person's strongest ability.
.....
His identification skill also confird that the person was not lying. This was actually a Legendary Tier Item. With naked eyes, he could see his troubles increasing.
People thought that there was only one examinee here with a SSS Rank Ability and things were already so chaotic.
He could only imagine what was going to happen if the Sphere told everyone that he also had a SSS Rank Ability. And if then found out that his ability was the sa as Devourer?
One person in this exam had the ability of the First Hero worshiped by everyone. Another person here had the ability of Devourer, feared by anyone. And on top, there was a woman that both these n hated, watching from the top.
He already planned to let his identity as Devourer be known when kidnapping Mist's daughter but he wasn't a fool to want to do that in front of Mist.
Just his Devourer skill alone was a SSS Rank Bloodline Skill, and that's not even counting the unknown Bloodline that he himself didn't know clearly about.
If the Crystal Sphere could asure the strongest Bloodline Skill Rank, then he wasn't even sure which of his Bloodline Skill was it going to choose to rank?
He himself didn't know which was higher... Devourer? Celestial Dragon? Or his own Bloodline that was only 25 percent awakened? In any case, he knew that trouble was waiting for him at the end of this assessnt.
"Step forward when you are called," the Professor announced, his voice echoing through the grand arena. "We will begin with the first candidate."
One by one, the students approached the table in the order that they were standing. Each of them placed their hand on the crystal sphere.
The sphere would hum and glow, revealing their ability rank to the room which was judged based on the color and the intensity of the light.
Quite a few people had tested themselves, only to be disappointed as none of them crossed B Rank in the exam. To clear the exam, one had to be at least A Rank in ability, and this was just the first step of the exams.
Normally, B Rank was impressive in itself but in the ho of all heroes, it wasn't even worth ntioning, especially when one of the examinees was an SSS Rank Hero.
"Eldric," the Professor's voice rang out, capturing everyone's attention. The room fell into a hushed silence, all eyes fixated on the young man who dared to bear the First Hero's na.
Eldric stepped forward, his movents deliberate and confident. He placed his hand on the crystal sphere, and imdiately, the artifact began to glow intensely.
The light was blinding, radiating outwards and filling the room with the brightest aura. It made the entire place so bright that so even wondered if a small sun had risen inside the arena.
Although many people had heard about Eldric's SSS Rank Ability, watching it being confird with their own eyes was even more shocking.
It felt like a sharp slap on the face of the youngsters who were waiting for his ability rank to co out as lower, wanting to see him be embarrassed after his arrogance.
The sphere's glow intensified, reaching a brilliance that surpassed all previous displays combined. The Professor's lips curved up, forming a smirk.
Although he was also annoyed by the young man's arrogance, his ability was no joke. With his presence, the future was truly theirs to conquer.
Even Mist, who had returned to her seat, leaned forward with keen interest.
The light finally dimd, revealing a ranking that left everyone feeling cold.
"SSS Rank," the Professor announced, his voice trembling slightly in excitent. A
At this point, he wanted to accept Eldric into the academy right away, flouting all norms which required them to pass other exams as well. Only after noticing the sharp gaze of Mist, he controlled his excitent.
Eldric removed his hand, the faintest hint of a smile playing on his lips, taking a calm glance towards the first floor before he turned to face the crowd.
"I hope this is sufficient proof of my capabilities," he said calmly, silencing any further dissent. There were still people who hated him, especially due to their jealousy but they didn't show it openly either.
Mist's eyes narrowed as she scrutinized Eldric. She didn't say anything further, not even complinting Eldric on her performance.
During the absolute silence, a cough ca from the first floor, catching everyone's attention. The Prophet stepped forward.
"Impressive."
He appreciated the performance of Eldric but before his words could even properly be processed by others, he added, "But abilities alone do not make a hero. I hope you won't forget that."
Eldric t the Prophet's gaze, his eyes reflecting a depth of experience that belied his youthful appearance.
"I am well aware of that," he replied, returning to his position. He closed his eyes, not even bothering to see the performance of other youngsters.
"Next." With the atmosphere calming down, the Professor in charge of the first exam looked at Eren, calling him forth.
