Chapter 34 Second Test.
"Huff..." Alvine put down his pen with a big sigh while looking at the time on the clock that was hung on the opposite wall. It had now been thirty-eight minutes since he started his test! As for the old man who served as his supervisor, approached with a disturbing air and asked after clearing his throat... "Um, young man, something is wrong? Why did you stop working all of a sudden?" He asked confusedly while leaning slightly to take a look at the documents that were scribbled by Alvine.
"Ah Mr. Supervisor, it's okay, I just finished answering the questions." He Said.
The old man was only slightly surprised when he heard the bold words that Alvine had just spoken. Speed is never noted... what matters is the result. "Very well young man. You still have enough time to rest before your next stage of the test. You can simply rest here by hearing that the second test does not begin." He advised the old man while taking a flash look at Alvine's answers with stupor. Just with the answers, he had just seen, the young man had exceeded his expectations, but he remained calm in the face of the situation.
"Thank you for your kind advice elder, but you don't have to worry about me. The next test is a magic aptitude test. I think it will be fine before the last test." Alvine replied politely when he got up and went to the door.
Outside, Sabrina was looking forward to Alvine. "Master, what took you so long? I point out that you have to give everything to earn a good grade, it's very crucial. Not only will this allow you to access premium resource packs but also a downhill dormitory." She advised.
"Um, are you sure of yourself Sabrina? You know, if I get too noticed, it will attract too much attention!"
"You don't understand what I wanted to tell you when I asked to do "low profile". It was only to warn you against anything that could threaten your identity. The rest will not be a problem... remember that if you want to receive more resources, you must give your all!" She always tried to convince his master who was so obsessed with his little mystery.
"Okay, I'll follow your advice. In short, the next test is the aptitude test... in building C34 to the north... Are we going?" -Alvine.
It took them only a five-minute walk to get to their destination. A huge room that looked like a gym awaited them behind the doors of the C34 with a demonic woman. But unlike the other room, this room still had a few students who had just checked their Crystal Statistics that were in the middle of the room. They were like gigantic pillars more than fifteen meters long and five meters wide with different colors (white, cyan, green, blue, Purple, Red!) Aligned one after the other!
Of course, the busiest remained the first crystal! White and cyan. Because these two are used to measure the strength and magical power of a mage, beginner, and intermediate apprentice. Green is for advanced and master mages, blue is for great masters and spirits, purple... for the holy level and finally, red crystal is for emperor/imperator mages.
But as Alvine had already reached the advanced rank... he had no choice but to go to the green crystal to pass the next stage of his test.
It was now that some students had just noticed Alvine who was like a noble among the barbarians. Whether it was his facial features, his expression, even his costume that was simpler without too many weird things hung here and there like most of the luxurious clothes in this world. No one could ignore his noble silhouette passing through the crowd with his maid walking nonchalantly behind him.
"Tch, yet another arrogant who believes he is at the top of the world. Ka ka ka, he will soon see that he is only an ant among real men!" A strong man with red hair spoke arrogantly as if he were the captain of the ship.
"Guelph, calm down, it's no one but a doll that is appreciated by girls." Another strong man who looks 80% like Guelph but he had silver hair and looked more mature than him. They were twins, one of the most famous duets in the tower thanks to their talents! They were both warrior mages and belonged to the demon race. Guelph & Galph
"Nee, cousin looks at this man, he is so beautiful and cute at the same time. Hehe, exactly to my liking. But this is the first time I've seen him here, is he a new student? Given how he attracts everyone's attention, I guess this is his first time coming here. Let's see if he has a talent that deserves to be monitored." A girl-elf with mint green hair spoke with her cousin while showing Alvine with her finger.
"Shit! As the world is unjust, have you seen how handsome he is? I'm sure he will catch a lot of the beautiful girls just with his appearance just!" Answered the cousin. They were both in their third year.
Similar discussions were taking place among others. Others are curious but while most men began to envy Alvine who was accompanied by a cold beauty like his tutor... they prayed that he would have decent talent, lest another monster diminishes their noble glow.
"Hello Mrs, I was asked to come here to do my next magic skill test." He politely asked the instructive who was in charge of the room in question.
"Hm? I suspected it, you're a newcomer... very well, what level of testing did you choose?" She asked after getting out of her astonishment, for some reason, she did not expect such politeness from Alvine. In general, newcomers are always arrogant before discovering that here, their statues are worth nothing more than wind.
"Level 3, Mrs."
"W-what?! Oh, umm since you're here, which means that old Alan has already allowed you to take the next test. All right, all you have to do is put your hand on the second crystal on the right and inject your mana into it. But you must know that to pass the test, you must at least be at the intermediate level with 100 points of magic energy and be able to cast an intermediate spell regardless of the affinity you have." She says with more curiosity.
Alvine went to the crystal under the eyes of more than a hundred students who were in the room without the slightest disturbance.
"Hey, in your opinion, will he pass the test?" Student A.
"Are you crazy? Have you ever seen someone pass the level two test in the history of the tower? He is just an arrogant ignorant who does not know what is the distance between heaven and earth. If he succeeds, I'm ready to give you my 10 contribution points!" -Student B.
"Asshölę! Everyone knows he's going to fail so what's the point of betting on your points? Give them to your grandmother!"-Student A.
Meanwhile, Alvine had just laid his hand on the cyan crystal and began to inject his mana gently into it. Contrary to his indifferent expression, deep down, he was nervous beyond imagination. Not for fear of failing, but because of people's reaction!
*Master, don't hold back, everything will be fine there is nothing to hide. Otherwise, you will not have the resources that follow you best for your cultivation!* Sabrina advised him by telepathy. She knew that Alvine wanted to become strong as much as possible at all costs. What is the best way to push him to everything than this one? She was annoyed by the mockery of her/his students who called his master an idiot!
"I understand!" He asserted with determination. Subsequently, he did not hold back... he broke his entire EP on the crystal which could only hold a maximum of 500EP. Unfortunately for him, Sabrina had not informed him of this little detail! Even before Alvine injects 1% of her EP...
*Cracks.*!! *Crackkk!! * BOM!!!
The crystal exploded into a thousand slabs before disintegrating completely without leaving even a seed!
"..." silence invades the whole room.
".?!?!?" Subsequently, the silence turned into a shock!
"!!!!!" And in the end, their shocks turn into disbelief!!
'Shit! Sabrina!!!' Alvine turned around to see Sabrina with a triumphant smile as if it were she who had just strangled a God with a bare hand! Seeing her like that, Alvine immediately understood this girl's rides. 'She does it on purpose.'-Alvine
"Umm, instructor, I think there was a problem with this crystal. Why not let my master try the next one to see if he can pass the test or not?" Innocably asked Sabrina. Apparently she wanted to spice things up.
'This is necessarily the cause of this anomaly!' Thought the students!
"Uh? Maybe you are right. But this is the first time it has happened. Crystals had not had its kinds of anomalies until now... umm, how strange it is!" She knew the mana overload factor, but she was ready to believe that tomorrow would be the end of the world rather than believing that Alvine could annihilate a crystal in just a few seconds with his advanced level!
Powerless in the face of the whims of his maidservant, Alvine went to the third cyan crystal and did the same after being convinced by Sabrina. *The more crystals you destroy, the more resources you will have access to! * -her explanation.
Of course, Alvine was not as stupid to believe in such nonsense. The steepness contained on the face of the crowd said it all about it! But seeing how Sabrina was having fun with his misdeeds, nothing mattered to him as long as he had the opportunity to make his new family happy! Thus, he will soon have a new title among his pairs... "the enemy of crystals!"

Statistical crystals are formed naturally in mines and dungeons they are more accurate and revealing when it comes to displaying the exact information!
While test bracelets are magical artifacts specially designed to measure display magical points, numbers of affinities without naming the affinities in question... and dead laws!
