Death… And Me

Chapter 660 - It Went Easier Than We Thought

Everyone looked at Frandin with shock in their eyes. That was an insanely high number since the guild never held back with the difficulty of the knowledge test. After all, why would the guild allow someone to pass with just a 50%+ result? That's the answer. It was hard!

Well, there was also the fact that Frandin was also taken aback by that result. During the knowledge test, he knew around 80% of the answers. As for the rest, well...he guessed. He took those questions and used the things he knew to compare before writing them down. Even he didn't expect that it would go so well.

Hudin nodded at Frandin with satisfaction as he said, "Good to see that you didn't slack off in the theoretical area." Following that, he continued announcing the results.

Madlam Lacal, 81%...

Suom Batevo, 75%...

Qimi Parana, 72%...

Eventually, he read the last name before looking at the rest of the Zasfins as he said, "The names I didn't call out has failed to achieve at least 50% of the questions right. You can leave."

Three-fourth of the Zasfins left right after, thinking about coming back another day. As for the rest, they were still nervous since they knew that the second test's results would follow.

"With that, the second test," said Hudin as he looked at the results. There were only 24 formations displayed during those two hours, one every five minutes. Naturally, it was a lot easier and faster to check the answers.

"Oh, Walton, you really know your things." Hudin smiled.

Walton June, 17 formations perfectly identified...

Suom Batevo, 15 formations perfectly identified...

Tossil Warnd, 14...

Frandin had gotten even more attention now. He was truly doing much better than anyone else. Well, Frandin was using a different name. On top of that, he would disappear once he got the study materials for Rean and Qia. That being said, it didn't matter much if the Zasfins paid so much attention to him in the end.

Hudin was indeed impressed with Frandin (or Walton in this case), but it wasn't as if he would make a big deal out of it. After all, someone like him appeared once in a while. Nevertheless, he liked to see these new formation geniuses.

In the end, one also needed to correctly answer at least half of the formations displayed in the second test, which sent more than half of the remaining participants home. Following that, they were all brought somewhere else.

Hudin then looked at the 9 candidates that remained before saying, "Alright, your job is very simple. Draw three Earth Low-level Formations of any kind. As long as they're functional, you will be admitted into the guild." He then pointed at a counter by the side of the entrance as he continued, "If you don't have the materials for the formation, you can buy them there. Of course, you will need to pay for it."

Hudin looked at the time before announcing, "You have three hours to finish the formations. You may now start."

Frandin didn't need extra materials since Rean and Qia prepared everything for him. He quickly headed to an empty space in the field and began to work on it. To make sure things would go well, Frandin decided to draw three very simple formations. Energy Gathering, Energy Flow, and Little Rain Cloud Formations.

Hudin noticed what Frandin(Walton) was doing and couldn't help but sigh. He felt like Frandin could do much better than that but was afraid to fail the test. Then again, that wasn't his problem, so he didn't intervene. However, he quickly noticed something different in Frandin's formations. 'Hmm? Those runes...this is the first time I've seen such an arrangement. There are a few runes I don't know about either.'

Well, that was to be expected since Rean and Qia taught him the Sunkan Planet's formations.

Frandin didn't need the entire three hours to finish them, though. By the time one hour was up, he had already completed all three formations. Well, that didn't impress anyone due to the level of Frandin's formations. The only one who showed interest was Hudin himself, who noticed that Frandin's formations used a completely different school of thought. Let alone the unknown runes.

Well, Hudin quickly recovered and didn't say anything. After all, he had to pay attention to everyone else's formations as well. He would take his time to analyze it more profoundly once everyone finished their jobs.

Time passed in a flash, and soon, the three hours were up. All nine candidates finished their formations, but only a few seemed confident that all three would work. Hudin didn't care about any of them, though. Now that he confirmed that there was no cheating during the process, he could move to Frandin's formation and check if it worked.

"This is quite a different arrangement of runes," said Hudin as he paid close attention to Frandin's formations. Soon, he asked, "There are even a few runes I've never seen before. Do they really work?"

Frandin laughed in response as he answered, "But of course! They are very simple formations, after all. Senior Hudin can go ahead and test them yourself. I'm only interested in getting access to the Formations Repository."

Hudin nodded with a satisfied expression and immediately activated the first one, Energy Gathering Formation. Sure enough, with Sunkan Planet's more developed formations, Frandin's Energy Gathering Formation showed a much higher level of efficiency than common Energy Gathering Formations.

"This..." Hudin was truly impressed. Only now that the formation was working could he see why Frandin used that arrangement and especially how the runes he didn't know about worked. "Where did you learn about these runes?"

Frandin shook his head as he replied, "I can't answer that without my master's consent. I'm sorry."

Hudin wasn't surprised by that. He was already 100% sure that Frandin had to have some incredible master. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to bring out such a high level of proficiency. "I see..." Nevertheless, he was somewhat disappointed. However, he quickly recovered before saying, "Let your master know that our Formation Master Guild wishes to know him. I'm sure we have many things to discuss."

Frandin nodded with a smile, saying, "Sure."

Hudin then moved to the other two formations. Unsurprisingly, they showed the same level of improvement as the Energy Gathering Formation. Following that, he announced, "Walton June, you've passed the test."

Rean and Qia nodded from a distance as they simultaneously thought, 'That went easier than we thought.'
