Within a blink of an eye, one week passed. In this week, Kyle mostly stayed inside the secret room.
He would read the theory books important for the exam in the morning and then memorize the beginner array books in the afternoon. At night, he would go back to his room to rest.
Within three days, he memorized the books Elder Han placed on the table. He even practiced the strange symbols present inside each book. At the end of the week, he was able to draw all the symbols present in the books flawlessly.
Kyle stayed inside the secret room for a week but Elder Han didn't come back.
Today was the day of the theoretical exam. He stood up from the chair and stretched his body. He was wearing a long-sleeved brown hoodie with black pants.
Bia who was sitting at the table yawned. She was surprised to see Kyle working so hard. She glanced at the room before she started flying.
-'Hey Kyle aren't you going to clean up the mess?'
Kyle stopped and looked around. He blinked his eyes.
The whole room was in a mess because it was filled with white papers scattered around everywhere.
"I will."
With a sigh, he hurriedly started cleaning the room.
After picking up all the papars he stacked them on the table and left the secret room with Bia. The library was empty. The old librarian sitting behind the reception gazed at Kyle's figure appearing out of nowhere.
He nodded at Kyle with a smile. A week ago, Elder Han told him not to worry about this kid's presence.
He was curious about the secret room Kyle used but he didn't dare to check it himself because Elder Han was a very scary individual.
Kyle looked at the Librarian and after a nod, he left the library. The morning clouds were roaming around in the sky while the cool wind brushed past his skin. He walked for a while and arrived at the student hall.
Unlike any other day, the hall was not empty. A lot of students wearing blue uniforms were standing around the notice board at the end of the hall.
Kyle approached the board. Some first-year students standing in front of the board saw him and instantly moved away.
Their gaze lingered on Bia who was sitting on top of Kyle's head. A few girls and boys even tried to start a conversation with him but after seeing Kyle's expressionless face they stepped back awkwardly.
Kyle ignored all the students standing around him. He gazed at the board and looked at the first-year section. A large name list was present above all the notices glued on the board.
The first-year students were divided into two groups each group would take the exam in a different room. After finding his name on the second list and checking the room, Kyle left.
While he was walking, a familiar voice called him from behind.
"Kyle."
He looked back and saw Alec waving his hand toward him. Unlike Kyle, he was wearing the Academy uniform.
A frown appeared on Kyle's face when he saw Alec but it disappeared within a second.
After spending so much time with Alec, he didn't dislike him and even consider him as one of his good friends but the fact that Alec was able to see everything about him made him a little vigilant.
Within a few seconds, Alec appeared beside Kyle. There were dark circles present under his eyes but he looked handsome as usual.
"I thought you disappeared again because I didn't see you for a whole week. You didn't even come to the library to study."
Alec gazed at Kyle with curious eyes but Kyle brushed the matter away.
"I was busy with something. Anyway did you see Nine?"
Alec smirked and grabbed Kyle's shoulder. He did see Nine but the latter condition was not good at all.
"I saw him in the morning. He was too anxious about the bet both of you made that's why he didn't sleep last night."
Kyle shrugged his shoulders but he smiled inwardly.
'Haha, I will soon get those 50,000 mana stones.'
Both of them walked together and after a few minutes, they arrived in front of a classroom. Some students wearing the blue color uniform were hurriedly entering the room. Kyle looked at Alec.
"I will take the exam in this room. What about you?"
"I need to go to the next room."
Alec patted Kyle back and gazed at him with a smirk.
"Do your best and try not to take the last position."
"You want a beating?"
Kyle glared at Alec but the latter walked away while laughing. With an annoyed expression, Kyle walked inside the classroom.
He gazed around at the row of seats and sat down on an empty seat in the middle row. While he was looking around he saw two familiar faces. Nine and Carcel.
They seemed to have been assigned to the same room as Kyle. After ten minutes, a black-haired middle-aged man entered the room.
"Silence!"
The man said with a commanding voice and gazed at the sitting students. He was wearing a white shirt with a golden lining present on his chest and arms.
The moment his loud voice appeared all the students shut their mouths and gazed at the Professor.
"I am the instructor assigned to conduct your exam. My name is Aster."
He said and stood in front of the students. His sharp gaze landed on the students who weren't wearing the Academy uniform.
The first one was Kyle. Two girls sitting in the back row were also wearing casual clothes and surprisingly the last person was Carcel. He was wearing a green shirt with black pants. They all look out of place due to their different clothing.
Professor Aster's narrowed gaze lingered on them for a while before he stepped back.
"I believe you all are intelligent enough to know the basic rules of the exam but I know there are some idiots within this class that's why I should tell you the rules."
Professor Aster's expression turned cold and a light pressure appeared around the students.
"First, cheating is forbidden. If I caught anyone cheating or speaking I would beat that person up. I don't give a dam about your status or dignity!"
"Second, if you are unable to answer the question present inside the exam it's better to leave instead of wasting time and staring at others!"
"Third, If I saw anyone who is suspiciously fiddling with their storage rings or their table I guarantee that person won't be able to stand for the next whole week."
He said and gazed at the students who gulped nervously. With a satisfied expression, he nodded his head.
"Good. I will hand out the papers now take out your pens and be ready."
