The entrance exam lasts for 2 days. On the first day, the candidates would be asured for their potential and demonstration of their skills.
The second day was a more relaxed exam than the previous day. Candidates would be tested for their knowledge by holding a large-scale written exam simultaneously in the Eagle realm, the lecture halls. For , this exam was a relaxed test because I certainly know the ins and outs of this world.
Anyway, day 1 of the exam was coming to an end as the sun was about to set.
The day was getting old as the magnificent shades of orange illuminated the sky, the sun was about to go to sleep while the moon princess prepared to accompany the night.
The sound of birds chirping collided with the chatter of the candidates who still looked enthusiastic after taking the exams.
As for , I was enjoying my free ti just leaning on a park bench in the Crow realm. There were several candidates here beside , their faces looked happy and were enjoying the laughter.
Sohow I feel calm among the noise around . When I was about to close my eyes, I felt sothing touch my leg. It was a black cat, its loud purr was clearly heard over the noises.
"Hey, my furry friend. Are you hungry?" I said as I pet her soft fur.
She owed.
Her eyes were red, it sohow looked familiar.
"Wait. You're the cat on that day, right? One who appeared on my windowsill early in the morning?"
The cat stared at for a long before she owed then scratched her furs.
"Wait… Why do I even talk to her? It's not like she understands what I am saying."
Staring at the cat for so ti, I couldn't suppress the feeling of wanting to pet her head. And so I did it.
"But, if she's a summoned creature… It's possible for her to understand , or maybe the summoner does."
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ Using my Clairvoyance skill, unlike the usual, a screen didn't pop up on the cat. I raised my eyebrow and tried again. The result was the sa, this cat couldn't be observed, either she was immune or there was a skill blocking my Clairvoyance.
It was the first ti this had happened, so I wasn't so sure what caused this.
Hearing soone's footsteps coming closer and then stopping right to my left side, I looked up just to see two familiar faces. I stared at them with genuine confusion and excitation.
Confused to as why they would stop and not continue their way to wherever their destination was. And excited because I t the main characters, Lux and Ayano, which both were gorgeous.
"Are you okay?" said Lux.
Upon hearing him saying that, I was so confused.
'Why did he ask that?'
I peeked to my right just to see if there was another person than who might be the one Lux referred to, but there was no anyone sitting on this bench beside . Looking back at Lux, I said
"Thanks for asking, I guess I'm okay? But, why did you ask that?"
Lux scratched his cheek while Ayano seemingly looked around as if she tried to find sothing.
"Oh, it's… How do I say this…"
Is he afraid that he might offend ? Hmph. As if I'd get offended by soone's words.
"Just say it, it won't hurt to hear a concerned person's reason," I said with a shrug.
Well, not really. I might get really offended if he was to say I was ill just because he heard talking with a cat. Not that he will be asking that, right?
"Actually, I accidentally heard you talking…"
Oh. So it's really because of talking to a cat?!
Noticing my blazing glare, Lux imdiately cald down. "No, no. It's just that, I accidentally heard you talking to yourself, sothing about a summon?"
"Talking to myself?"
Did he not see that I was talking to a cat? Literally a cat, with black fur and red eyes, he didn't see that?!
"Yes…" he said in a low voice.
"Huu… You see, I was talking to a cat. A summoner's cat, I'd guess."
"A cat?"
"Yes. It right over here…" I said while pointing at my feet. "Huh? Where is it gone?"
The supposed black cat was not there. Lux and Ayano looked at each other with slightly raised brows.
"Well anyway, I'm not talking to myself, but to a cat."
"I-I see… Then, a summon you spoken was that cat you talking to?"
"Yes. I know it's weird to talk to a cat. But, since it's a summoned cat, I thought that maybe the summoner could hear ."
"Ah. It may also explain why the cat suddenly vanished, then?"
"I guess so."
We talked for a mont, it was just Lux and , Ayano was silent all the ti but occasionally let out a little smile every ti Lux laughed. It was a short talk with the protagonist, but it was really fun.
"Ah. Pardon , I ought to introduce myself before talking to anyone. I'm Lux Virtus, from England, nice to et you!"
He looked at Ayano and introduced her also, "And this is Ayano Fuyuki, she's from Japan."
She slightly bent her body, making a polite bow. "Nice to et you."
"My na is Zio Varrez. Well, I was from Indonesia, and now I live on this island with my cousin. Nice to et you."
Influenced by her, I unconsciously copied her movent while I introduced myself.
The talk ended after the introduction. What a great way to end a conversation, eh?
While I sat back and chatted with the main characters in the park, I never thought ti would go by so fast.
When I saw the sky that was now getting dark, a cold wind blew against my skin. It was already evening, and that was the sign that I had to go to the dormitory provided for the candidates to stay for one night.
The dormitories were located in the Dove realm. Arriving there, the multi-story dormitory buildings lined up along the straight road filled this district. Even if the streetlights weren't bright now, this street would still be lit by lights coming from the dorm room windows, well at least until they all fell into a deep sleep after the test earlier.
I'd have been lost searching for which building was containing my room if they didn't put a sign in front of the building door.
Flipping the tag I got when I registered, apart from the participant number, there was a letter indicating the dormitory building I would be staying in. There was a letter D engraved on it, logically speaking, that ant it was the fourth building.
Sure enough, the fourth building had a sign with the letter D emblazoned on its door.
"Wait a minute... If I'm not mistaken. This dormitory building is where Lux and the main characters live during the entrance exam. Then…"
They definitely stayed here during the night of the exam. As for the room number, I'd forgotten about that. But, if my mory served right, the five of them would be next to each other.
Lux Virtus with Leonardo Miguel, Ayano Fuyuki with Lumi Alicia, and Seo Yeong-ha with Grace.
That was all of the main characters' nas except Grace, she was not a main character. I'd said she's a supporting character, with as much screen ti as the main characters.
"Mine is number 403… It's on the sixth floor… Fvck!"
There were 8 dormitories, with each having 500 rooms. The buildings were all six stories high. The entire first floor was a lobby and student zone. From the second floor to the sixth floor was where the rooms were located.
The second floor consisted of rooms from number 001 to 100, the third floor consisted of rooms from number 101 to 200, the fourth was 201 to 300, the fifth was 301 to 400, and the sixth floor was number 401 to 500.
Riding an elevator to the sixth floor was such a short trip that even though I didn't do anything, the elevator doors to the sixth floor opened suddenly.
Finding my room right after walking out from the elevator was also a quick trip, it was only a few steps away from the elevator door. The sign screen hanging above the door was showing the number 403, so I imdiately opened the door without hesitation after confirming it.
"Excuse …"
There was no one in this room.
"Oh? will I sleep alone tonight?"
Not sothing I would complain about. So…
"Bed, here I co."
I jumped on the bed and lay down. It was so soft and comfy that my energy suddenly drained.
"Oof…"
I stood up to look at the other bed.
"It's an unused bed. I bet it'd feel the sa!"
So I jumped on another bed and my body imdiately got sucked in by the bed's soft foam.
Ah, it was such a good ti… I just want to lie down here forever.
Before long, my consciousness left my body as I drifted off to sleep.
Everything beca dark…
Yes, of course, it'd be dark because I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
But, that's not the case...
