Eps 53: The Exam Begins!

"The reason I agree that the tradition of the Seda is re-imposed is because there are future prophecies about other races that will attack the Human Race!"

Hearing King Zake's words, everyone looked at each other. Confusion and fear are felt by most of the people who are there. Confused about the background of why other races attack the human race, because so far there has never been a war between one race and another. From the confusion comes a beam of fear that is getting bigger and bigger. But behind that fear, there are some who are ready for their destiny, ready to protect humanity and ready to sacrifice their lives.

"I as the King of the Green Dragon Kingdom want to strengthen the military power we have, strengthen the strength of the warriors and the power of the systems that support them. Currently there are only a hundred candidates for warriors, a number that is too far from the previous days, can even be less and less in a moment. But I am not surprised, because this time the candidates for warriors will not only fight with others. The candidates are required to be able to fight fear, fight doubt and fight themselves!

"Seda's tradition has been regarded by many as the King's indifference to his people, propaganda, weapons aimed at the oppression of the people and many others. As a result the Seda tradition has become months of slander and all other bad things.

"I stand here to argue against it all, I am a different King than the previous King, I did something for the people, he said, and behind my reasoning I re-enact the Seda tradition solely for the safety of the people!"

Hearing the King's words, the audience and aspiring warriors cheered cheerfully, glorifying the name of King Zake George. Because the people also feel a good difference at the time of King Zake as King, both in the economic and social sectors. King Zake smiled then continued his words,

"For aspiring warriors, I want you to grow up to be strong and able to think and hone your logic. You should be able to use your brain more than your muscles, because using your brain is more efficient and easier.

"You have a separator who will help you if you are in danger, but keep in mind, there is only one separator! A Separator with a Tier Emperor cannot fully guarantee your safety, if you are weak, then die!

"Therefore, before this fight begins, I will give you a chance to get out of this arena and rip off the paper inscribed with the number of prospective swordsmen you have! Don't be naive! Just being armed with a dream cannot guarantee you will pass this exam!"

The swordsmen candidates were jolted with the statement the King made, they did not expect the King's attitude to change 180° in just a short time. They felt an excited spirit the first time the King spoke, but when the King conveyed the facts, the would-be warriors felt slammed to the ground.

"You should know that, in the past Seda tradition, many would-be warriors died silly because they thought they were able to fight monsters stronger than him and were able to pass all the tests given. But no! Again not! You have to look deep inside yourself, you are capable, or not!"

Some would-be warriors felt back a crushing blow to his chest, a beating heart hard, dripping sweat, a look down and a mute mouth were all they could do.

*Kkhaouh ....

A lion roar coming from one of the doors sounded loud and shocked everyone in the Perpend stadium. Some of the would-be warriors who heard the roar suddenly turned pale.

"You heard it, didn't you? It was one of the monsters that had been captured by warriors with Tier Emperors. If you feel weak, you are welcome to come out! Retreat does not mean a loser, but retreats as one who thinks of the future!"

Some aspiring warriors who felt themselves weak and less strong began to show their fear, the next few seconds they took a paper that read the candidate's number, the swordsman, lifting him up high then tearing him apart then stepping his feet out of the arena of the match. Daya, Maya and Livia still stand in a firm position. They have known the talent in him and planted in their deepest hearts what they want to be in the future. Daya, Livia and Maya stare at the King with a sharp look.

Jaka who saw his friends still standing was feeling excited and agitated at the same time. Happy because they really have strong and uneasy dreams about what their friends are going to face.

After fifty people walked out of the match arena, the King went back on his word,

"Well, before this test starts, I want to tell the people who are still standing in this arena some important things about the match. The match was split into two, the first was a match against monsters and the last was a one-on-one match between aspiring warriors who qualified in the stage facing monsters!"

As the King was still talking about the match, the swordsman with the Tier Calestial Dragon next to him whispered something to the King's ears. The king looked towards Evan, then Evan nodded. With just a glance, Evan knew what the King meant. The king sat back in his chair and Evan turned his body to the would-be warriors and continued what the King said,

"In the fight against monsters, you must and must kill the monster. You will work with your coolest friend if you have, and you can fight it yourself" Evan told aspiring warriors.

Hearing Evan's explanation, one of the would-be warriors raised his hand and asked,

"If I had a friend as quick as I could, he would do nothing to defeat the monster. Only I work and try to face monsters alone. If that monster has me defeated, does my friend who did nothing include a passerby?" asked the man to look at Evan's face.

Evan smiled and answered the man's question,

"If your friend's name is on the candidate's paper, then he is entitled and graduated to the next stage. With or without doing anything!"

After hearing the answer to his question, the man nodded and lowered his hand. Evan looked at the faces of the would-be warriors closely for a few seconds then said again,

"If you don't have any questions, then I will start this test" Evan said again waiting for the candidates to ask a question.

After feeling that no one wanted to ask again, Evan told the would-be warriors to climb onto the bench that had been provided. Before telling them to go up, Evan had said that if any of the names of any of the people were called, then all of the members would have to go down as well.

"In this way, I declare that the exam will begin!" evan said after all the candidates for the swordsman had sat on the bench with a strong and loud voice. The spectators who knew the match had started were applauded.
