All four of the other men in the room thought.

But Professor Will had other things on his mind.

\'Just what secrets does this Alex hold? Not just him, but this Mira girl as well.\'

Will thought more about what Alex and Mira were hiding.

The scene quickly toned down back to normal when two of the attacking applicants had died and the other escaped. But the shock hadn\'t left the observing examiner\'s faces yet.

But Professor Will had to know everything about these kids, they shocked him with something new every time he watched them.

He rewinded the recording back to when Alex and Mira were fighting in the swamp, and his eyes shifted when he saw Mira\'s hair turn golden and watched as she completely turned the fight against the E rank crocodile beast around.

\'She has the strength to kill a beast a whole level above her while this ability is active… this has to be at least a B+ rank talent!\'

Now, both of them had officially piqued his curiosity. He couldn\'t wait for the exam to finish, he wished he could just fly over to them on the spot and recruit them, but there were procedures he had to follow.

"It seems we have quite some good seeds this year." Professor Will asserted.

When the other four men heard him, their faces fell. They knew the meaning of his words.

\'Tsk, he\'s already claimed these two prodigies.\' The burly man thought.

None of these other four men could compare with Professor Will and the university he was representing.

Only Capital Prime University could employ a famous peak Beacon on the cusp of becoming an Ascendant.

It wasn\'t worth offending Will Wother nor Capital Prime just to snag a few good prodigies.

Four days later

\'225 points.\'

Alex looked down at his watch and glanced at the numbers shining in bold.

Over the last four days, nothing too interesting had occurred.

No other applicants had attacked them ever since that trio, and there had been no sign of that spiky haired fat boy either.

It seemed he had gone into hiding after what happened.

Luckily for Alex and Mira, the number of beasts they had come across had increased after they left the swampy region.

They had even encountered 2 more E rank beasts, which the duo had a much easier time taking down now that Alex wasn\'t severely hampered by the environment.

The only reason the fight against the E rank crocodile had been so risky was because the swampy land made Alex\'s talent almost redundant, so Mira had to risk using her transformation to take it down instead.

But every beast they had taken on after that was much easier to deal with.

The E- ranks and below didn\'t even need to be mentioned.

Both Alex and Mira could solo them even without using their talents.

The first E rank they came across was a tricky beast called an Emberclaw. The Emberclaw looked like a 5 metre tall reptilian beast covered in scales that shimmered in a red and orange hue, resembling smoldering embers, hence the first half of its name being \'Ember\'. It had long, curved claws capable of slicing through the tough stone comprising the mountains beneath them.

This beast was somewhat tricky to deal with, as any hit from it\'s claws could be deadly.

Luckily, the open environment allowed for Alex and Mira to manoeuver around the beast\'s attacks easier than with the mutant crocodile. It was a tough battle, but with the help of Alex\'s flames they were able to take the beast down with minimal injuries.

The second E rank they came across was even weirder.

Oddly, when they killed it, it was just called \'Frog\' adding even more to the weirdness of the beast. Just like its name, it was a tiny frog the size of Alex\'s hand, which compared to the sizes of other E rank beasts, was quite abnormal.

But the battle with this frog was actually their toughest battle yet. It wasn\'t dangerous like their battle against the Mutant Crocodile, and it wasn\'t as time consuming as their battle with the Emberclaw. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Instead it was just annoying.

The one redeeming quality this frog had to make up for its unusually small size was its terrifying speed.

Its method of attack was to use its two hind legs like springs and launch itself at its prey at speeds exceeding that of even E+ rank beasts.

This speed, combined with its small stature made it incredibly difficult to land a hit on it. And when you were hit by this thing at full force, it wasn\'t fun.

Alex and Mira both left that battle with their bodies covered in bruises from head to toe, much to the amusement of the examiners watching from space.

The battle with that frog lasted over an hour, and the duo were only able to finally kill the beast by tiring the little thing out, which slowed it down drastically.

"Only 2 days left before the exam ends. Do you think we\'re in first place with this amount of points?" Alex asked Mira, trying to ease his boredom by striking a conversation with her.

"I don\'t know. But we\'ve gotta be in the top 10 for sure." Mira wasn\'t confident they were first, but from her impressions of the other applicants, she doubted there was anyone in this batch who were stronger than them.

"I just hope this\'ll be enough to enrol in Capital Prime…" Alex mumbled — Mira mirroring his hope.

Up above, Professor Will chuckled to himself when he heard Alex mumble.

\'Haha, trust me kid, if what you two did isn\'t enough to enrol in Capital Prime, then no one deserves to enrol there!\'

Professor Will continued chuckling for a few more moments, but he was interrupted by a sudden alarm.

"Warning! Warning! Energy level exceeding E+ rank detected on Planet Periculum! I repeat…"

Professor Will\'s eyes widened when he heard the alert.

I was busy with IRL stuff, so only 1 chapter today :(
