Chapter 30: Subordinate hunting
Ten days has passed since Anthony returned from the divine realm and was lazing around.
Students spent all their time in the library and reading through the semester topic table given by the professor.
They were all reading as the time for the written exam was here, and today was the day for the exam, many people were tense, some were confident as they have been reading since the very beginning.
Currently everyone was sitting together in one large hall for the examination which was scheduled to begin by 10AM.
Although not the same professor taught everyone, same lesson was given so they have the same question.
When it was time for the exam to start, Kevin walked into the exam hall with stacks of paper in his hands.
"Some of you may not know me, my name is Rave Kevin, I am in charge of the S class and will be the supervisor of this exam, as usual any form of cheating means expulsion and nothing more or less so if you want to cheat with any of your ability or skill or spell make sure I don't catch you"
(Of course in a world full or magic, there will be skills which people might use to cheat but they are always being caught by the professor as the Academy was like a nest of powerhouses and not to be underestimated)
Kevin threw the paper and use mana to control each paper to land in front of each student and was faced down.
After everyone settled down and was ready
"You may begin and stop five hours from now which is 3PM" said Kevin.
Everyone started writing the answers they knew furiously and immediately least they forgot the answer.
Some bit their pens, some bit their nails while thinking and looking around for who to ask or cheat from.
Of course many races have better physique which gave them better eye sight that they could see further thereby seeing answers that was written even in the tiniest form.
But this was useless as the Academy uses a special type of paper were anything written on it automatically disappears immediately.
So nothing could be seen by anyone, this exam compromised of all courses and lesson given ranging from history lesson to the beast lesson, demon lesson, mana control, elemental control and more, that's why the exam is taking five hours.
Anthony knew answers to the mana control and elemental control due to the knowledge of his bloodline, together with demon and beast lesson because of the reward from the sign-in reward given a while back.
He wrote the answers immediately without wasting time, when he got to the history part and the rest, he didn't know them all since his clone only slept at all time during classes and didn't even go to the library to read but spent the point in the cafeteria.
He simply activated Authority of information and got the answer he needed then wrote it down on the answer sheet.
Anthony spent a total of three hours on his answers as they were simply too much.
He flipped over his paper then slept off like his clone usually does.
Kevin looked at all the students who had different faces, some felt cheated, some felt like taking a shit, some were sweating that their clothes were already wet.
Some were calm too as they had read enough and prepared well, Kevin looked at Anthony's direction and saw him sleeping, then he shook his head at this human boy he still didn't understand till now.
Although to others Anthony has become lazy and has been slacking off, to him he refused to believe such a thing as he believed the human boy could not be so simple after possessing such eyes like he did.
He had kept special eyes on Anthony to see if he would see him use his eyes during the exam, but Anthony didn't use it at all, Anthony already expected this when the history questions choked him, so he used Authority of information instead.
The professor already knew he had special eyes before when their eyes clashed, who is to say he won't catch him if he uses it here.
So Anthony simply didn't use it at all and opted for his Authority.
Kevin was quite disappointed that Anthony didn't use the eyes to cheat, he wanted them to have a clash of some sort then he could find out more about Anthony's eyes in exchange for not expelling Anthony for cheating, because he too has used his special eyes to cheat during his time as a student.
When the time was up, the paper burned by itself and disappeared from their sight.
Everyone left the hall, some crying, some too tired to even talk or complain.
Everyone just went back to their room to cry or jubiliate that exams were over.
Anthony got to his living room and sat on the couch. "I guess it's time to meet them" he murmured to himself
It was night time at 10PM, Anthony created nine clones and sent nine of them after other people and met one of them by himself.
The guy uses katana, so he decided to see this student who was a fellow katana lover like him personally, although Anthony used all weapons, katana has always been his favourite even before his reincarnation.
The clone had already gathered information on all of them, so he already knew where they were, everyone just teleported from the room to their target's room.
In a training room a boy could be seen swinging his katana over and over again, with sweat dripping from his muscular body, Anthony had already appeared here a while ago but just kept quiet and watched the boy train, the boy had various flaws but that was to be expected, as he had no one to correct him asides from klaus the weapon instructor.
After forty-five minute of continuous swinging of the katana, the boy stopped and turned to pick a water bottle behind him to drink water, there he saw Anthony leaning on the wall.
He immediately raised his katana and took a defensive stance immediately ready to attack.
Anthony smiled at his reaction and liked it, the boy didn't bother talking and went straight to defence, this is the real way of the world instead of asking stupid questions like who are you without putting up even a defensive stance.
"Calm down bruh, this isn't a death match, from my handsome face you should know me" Anthony said while hyping up himself.
"Why are you here" asked the boy as he dropped his weapon knowing it was useless if Anthony decided to make a move.
"I have seen you get bullied for a while now but you refused to bow down to your bullies, besides you have a strong will and dedicated to training, I've taken a liking to you and would like to take you as my subordinate"
Anthony didn't bother beating around the bush and just went straight to the point, he didn't need to sweet talk anyone into working for him.
If they refused he would let them be and won't speak on it again as he would wipe their memories immediately they decline
