THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapter 24. Assessment Commences

On the day of Starwood academy's admission. As soon as the sun rose, everyone in the city headed to the academy. The academy occupied a large amount of land. All roads are crowded with people. Everyone spoke with passion. There were many people who came from various villages under the jurisdiction of Starwood city. Each village will send a suitable candidate, to take the exam. There were many people gathered in the academy. There would be hundreds of people gathered in the academy to participate in the reception. There would be better guidance and resources if they could apply to the academy. There are five villages under the control of Starwood City. Anyone from these villages is fit to take the exam. Everyone is here to get a chance

Sam slowly walked towards Starwood academy. As he slowly walked towards the academy, the crowd became even denser. There were many people gathered in groups and talking. There are many counters with queues. This box is here for registration. Sam walked towards one of the counters and joined the queue. When his turn came, he took out his town resident token and registered his name. Then he slowly walked over, where all the candidates gathered. After the registration process was completed, a group of people with the same type of clothes came over. They had the Starwood tree symbol on their clothes. They seem to be the staff of the academy. They guided all the candidates through the great gate towards the academy. After passing through the gate Sam began to observe his surroundings. That place is a big empty land.

There were several viewing platforms on the other side of the large stage where several groups of people could be seen sitting. Each platform belongs to each of the major powers. The two central platforms belonged to the city lord and the Starwood academy. On the platform belonging to the city lord, there was a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance in an icy blue color robe sitting on a chair. It was none other than the City lord. He was a Baron ranked noble in charge of the region below Starwood city. He was the strongest of all the people here. Only the principal of Starwood academy was a match for him. There was a familiar face beside the City lord. She is Haley. He seemed to be looking for someone among the crowd of candidates.

Sam then turned towards the Starwood academy's platform. There were several old figures in the same uniform sitting there. There was a middle-aged man who seemed to be slightly older than the city lord sitting on the main seat with his eyes closed. He has a scientific atmosphere around him. His clear brows showed his peaceful state. His figure was not muscular and leaned more to the side. He had a bronze skin that gave a faint luster of a unique charm. He was the principal of the Starwood academy who was also the only match for the city lord.

Sam then looked towards the other platform and found some familiar faces. Marcus Evergreen is seen chatting with Philip and Paul is also trying hard to get into the conversation. They seem to be in a good mood. Then Sam saw another familiar face on another platform. It's Freya. There was a strong middle-aged man who had a fiery air around him sitting next to him. She had a frown on her face as she looked rather displeased and Freya also had a frown on her face. He was wearing his battle robe today which he was wearing when he came to Sam's shop in the stone village of Lava. Sam then turns towards Grey's dog family and looks for someone. When he found Leonard and Raymond. Sam gave an evil smile. He really wanted to see how Leonard reacted when he saw him.

He then looked at the other four platforms. They belong to four towers. When he looked at the Artisan Tower platform, he saw that Kelly was also present along with the head of the Tower and other friends, Sam did not care much about them and only started to look around with a calm face.

But the other candidates were not as calm as he heard the two boys chatting.

"Oh, look, there are three goddesses all here. I feel like I'm on top. A handsome young man said to an average-looking man who had a sword on his hip. The average-looking man had an annoyed expression as he spoke. "Shawn, stay low."

"How can I stay low? I could see all three goddesses at the same time. Jack, you have to let go of me once in a while and stop your nagging. When will you understand my young and handsome self? Learn to appreciate beauty." The handsome young man named Shawn said with ****** that is excessive. The man named Jack did not know what to answer and just sighed. Shawn then continued.

"Look at the three goddesses. The fire goddess Freya, the Ice goddess Haley, and the goddess Artisan Kelly were all here at the same time. Do you think any of them would be interested in me? Oh, by the way, did you know that Kelly was the daughter of the tower chief. They're hiding this too deep. I heard that an arrogant and talented young artist not so handsome had humiliated Kelly. If I knew who it was, I'd kick his ass ... " Sawn keeps babbling.

Hearing his words, Sam furrowed his brows. 'He wants to kick my ass. Let's see it later.' Sam thought and then started thinking about something else. 'The fact that Kelly is the daughter of the head of the hidden tower is new. That's why Philip didn't go against it so hard, when I had a conflict with Kelly yesterday. If he finds out he might stop me.' Sam thought in his heart.

"Consider Everything." The headmaster of the academy came to the stage and started talking. "Today is the day our Starwood academy welcomes new blood. You will all be the future of the academy as well as the kingdom. So, I wholeheartedly thank all the candidates who appeared here to join the exam." The headmaster stopped and looked at the candidates. The first round was an assessment of age and cultivation. If you do not meet the requirements, you will be disqualified for further participation. Now, there are about 400 students and we will only choose the 100 best students today. So, I asked the candidate to go to one of the tents to complete your assessment." The Headmaster finished and returned to his place.

There were about 20 tents on the ground. Sam walked towards the tent and stood in the queue. Shawn and Jack were in the same line. When Shawn finished his assessment, he looked proud as he exited the tent and grinned all his teeth. After a few minutes Jack also walked out of the tent. Both of them had bronze color tokens in their hands. This is a sign that says that, they are selected for the next round of assessment. In a short time Sam arrived. When Sam entered the tent, he saw a young man in his twenties sitting behind a table. The table has two crystal balls the size of a volleyball placed on it. After entering, the young man looked at her and asked.

"Name?"

"Sam."

"Please go ahead and put your hand on this left crystal." The young man said in a low voice. Sam placed his hand on the left side of the crystal ball and the crystal ball shone. Sam, then felt a prickling sensation in his palm. Then strands of letters were projected on the crystal ball. '15 years and 1 day.' Sam felt dumbfounded. Although Philip said that age would be measured to the day, he did not think it would look cool. He was fascinated by this age-measuring device. Then he saw the young man behind the table. He also had a surprised expression on his face. But his surprise was for a different reason. He was shocked because of the shaving Sam did. Then he came out of his daze and said to Sam.

"Now, please hold this crystal." He said while noting Sam's age in the book. Sam nodded and placed his hand on top of the crystal ball to the right. This time also another strand of words was projected.

"Excuse me, what should I do now.?" ask Sam.

"No-Nothing." The youngster came out of his daze and handed the bronze token to Sam. The bronze token had the Starwood tree symbol engraved on it. Sam took the token and left the young man.

The first round of assessment went very quickly. Sam underestimated the number of eliminated contestants. Sam thought that since the rules were not hidden, he felt that not many unqualified contestants would be present. But many of them still come to try their luck. This is because there are special concessions made to the special constitution. But there are very rare. Now, there were only two hundred people left.

Sam came and joined the group with the bronze token, there he saw someone he knew. It was none other than Oliver. The arrogant village head's son.

When Sam sees her, he also sees Sam by chance. Sam gave her a smile. Seeing Sam, Oliver immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He still remembers the way Sam, cruelly handled his minions, if not for his father, he would have suffered greatly, just like his minions. Both paralyzed. Sam just makes them worthless. One of them could not bear the torture and suicide. Oliver doesn't want to provoke Sam anymore. Oliver then turned towards the vision platform of the city lord. Sam also looked in the same direction and saw someone he had not previously noticed. Village chief of lava stone village. He stood behind the City lord, along with the other four people. These were all village heads from the other four villages under the city lord. Sam turned towards Oliver again and smirked evilly. He really wanted to see, how the village chief would react once he was done with his son. Then a voice ripped Sam's mind off.

"The first round of assessment is complete. All candidates with bronze tokens are eligible for the second round." The Headmaster said as he stood up and walked up the large stage.

"The second round of assessment will begin in a few minutes. The second round will take place at the testing grounds of Starwood academy. The requirements to get through the second half are quite simple. You must endure. At the testing ground, you will all be assessed at the same time. The last hundred who will stand are entitled to the next round. There will be a ranking in this round. The one with more points will have the highest ranking. In this round the candidates have a free for all the royal rumble competitions on the page.

Along with the candidates, there would be several Level 1 and level 2 beasts in the field. Each level 1 beast brought one point. Each level 2 early stage beast carried 2 points. Level 2 late stage beasts carried 3 points.

Other than the ferocious beasts in the competition, every other participant was also an enemy. The last hundred defending will have extra points according to the rankings. People who are in the hundredth rank are awarded 101 points. Candidates who are in 99th place will get 102 points, and so on. Even if you have killed many beasts and have obtained so many points, if you fail to survive until the top hundred, the rest of the points will be removed. So, careful.

Your Life is Your own responsibility. If you are in life-threatening danger and want to give up. Destroy the bronze token and the hunting ground formation will protect you. But if you don't do that and move on, your life is your own responsibility. You can use any means except external help to survive the competition. If you use external means such as written weapons, inscriptions, and array discs, it is tantamount to the provocation of the Starwood Academy and you will bear the consequences."

Then the Headmaster turned his head towards the noble family and said. "Qualified families from noble families, please come forward and join the group." Then a group of five to eight people advanced from each household observation platform. After everyone joined. The Headmaster once again spoke to the crowd and said.

"You will follow this elder to the testing ground. You will be placed in different locations at all testing sites. If another candidate is near you, you will get a signal from your bronze token. The deadline is until dawn tomorrow. May the most qualified win." The headmaster said and returned to the viewing platform.

The elder appointed by the Headmaster gestured to all the candidates and led them towards the gate behind the ground. The gate led to the entrance of a majestic-looking place, which looked like a city square. There are various buildings. The world behind the gate itself looked like a city. Then the Elders guided them to an entrance that only one person could enter at a time. On both sides of the entrance were majestic-looking high walls that forbade the view inside. The elder gestured for the first person to pass through the entrance and the person disappeared.

'That 'Teleportation Formation' thought appeared in his mind. Then Sam was confused. Even the lowest quality teleportation formation required a rank 4 formation master. Yet Starwood city only had rank 2 formation masters. How did they finish it? Sam thought to himself and finally his turn came.

Sam felt a little dizzy as he opened his eyes. He landed on his back as soon as he teleported inside. When Sam looked around, all he could see was trees. He was in a place like a forest. After he's a little stable. A voice appeared in his mind.

"The second round of assessment begins"
