The instructor in charge of medical classes pushed opened the door and the students walked inside in a straight line.

After walking through a dimly lit passageway that resembled a rather large corridor, they stepped inside a wide and spacious room that was shaped like a volleyball court. Though the volleyball court contained a seven-meter-long and six meters wide inky black iron plate that was standing vertically in the middle of the court instead of a net and there was a counter showing the number zero attached on top of it.

There was a raised platform beside the court. A lot of people clad in white holy clothing stood there. A table and three chairs were placed there, also. Theodore and Kayle sat there, cross-legged and drinking some kind of relaxation tea with a peaceful expression on their face while Alex stood just a few meters away from the metallic plate. Seems like the instructor used a different and more practical passage to reach the place earlier.

"This room is larger than I thought," Leilani said while blinking once she entered the room.

"Yeah, it looked far smaller from the outside than it actually is," John added as his gaze swept through the interior of the room.

"It's probably because the interior of this room is expanded by using spatial technology," Vincent said as his eyes landed on the huge iron plate in the middle of the room. He was correct, most of the rooms in the cloud tower utilized space expanding items that increased their sizes by a considerable amount.

"What is that metallic wall over there?"

The students were chatting with each other, wondering whether the metallic plate is somehow related to the second assessment or not, as they occasionally glanced at the instructor sitting on the raised platform and the one standing in front of them for some clue.

"Hi, my name is Alex Hollow. The bunch of you can call me just Alex. You might have guessed it already but I will say it anyway, I will be your examiner for the second assessment. The purpose of this test is to see the full extent of your strength. Your strength will be assessed with the help of this big bad boy."

Alex Hollow pointed towards the huge metallic plate at the center of the field and continued, "This is the Iron Wall of Strength Reflection. The force behind your attack will be revealed in the counter attached to the wall once you attack the iron wall. The counter will reveal the grade of your strength. The wall is extremely sturdy, physical and magical attacks below grade-30 have no chance of permanently damaging it. Attacks around grade-70 and above might permanently damage it, but none of you are that strong. It also has other properties. What I am trying to say is that you can go all out against the wall, use your most powerful ability, magic technique, or transcendental grade combat technique on it without any worries as you'll be earning contribution points according to the cumulation of your grades."

As soon as he said those words, excitement took over the soul of the temporary students.

"Wow, we can earn contribution points!"

"I am gonna give it my all in this strength to earn a huge amount of CP! I am fired up."

"Try all you want, but I will be the one to ace this test," Felix Walken internally smiled. He was a fire ability user. Fire ability is said to be among the most destructive and powerful elemental abilities. He was confident in the strength of his ability. He was sure that he will step over all the examinees and earn the title of the strongest temporary student.

"Settle down! I still haven't finished," Alex said.

After the student's voices of excitement died down, he continued, "You can only take this test once. The minimum passing mark is grade 3. If you were to fail then your status as a temporary student will be removed and you'll have to head back home. Lastly, you can't use external items in this test, weapons and magic scroll included."

Hearing his words, some of the students showed a restless expression on their faces as if they couldn't wait to take the test while the others became anxious and tense. If they are to fail this test, even if they are born extremely sensitive to energy, they will only have two to three years before they get conscripted into the military. The military academy entrance examination could only be taken once a lifetime.

Varth Hollow frowned, taken aback by Alex's words.

"Damn! This test is literally targeting me. I was thinking that I will use my items to ace the following test and in the end, get a cumulative better result. But the last rule of this test just shattered my initial plans." Varth Hollow internally thought.

Varth depended a lot on items, and the fact could be seen from the three magical watches wore on his left hand.

"If you have any questions about the test then don't hesitate to ask me about it," Alex offered in a friendly tone.

"What if we're injured?"

A student who solely relied on using transcendental grade first techniques asked as he feared that he will badly damage his hand by attacking the iron wall with full force.

"Don't worry if you're injured, as we have come prepared. The healers are on standby, and they will perform instantly on anyone who requires medical care. Your injuries will be instantly healed, no matter how bad it is!" Alex responded to him, assuring him that there is no need to fear the risk that comes with injury as the healers can mend broken hands and shattered bones.

"I also have a question. How is the strength grade determined?" A young man with raven green hair asked as he looked at Alex.

"An average person has ten points of strength. We have categorized strength into varying grades based on the strength of an average human with grade one as the worst and the grade with the bigger number as the better. Grade one means that you're just as powerful as an average human. Grade-2 means that you're two times powerful than an average person and so on," Alex explained. His eyes then swept across the rows of students as if saying that if you don't have any questions then man up and come to take the test.

"Don't mind if I do!"

A few seconds after Alex said those words, the young man with raven green hair wearing a tracksuit stepped out from the crowd and walked up to the iron wall.

His right hand balled into a fist as he pulled it back to his waist. One could see that he had activated his ability as his entire fist was covered in metal. Palin's right heel lifted while his left foot pressed on the ground as his hips turned and his arm sprung out toward the lower center of the iron wall.

Bam!

A reverberation sound of metal hitting against metal rang out, spreading throughout the room, as Palin exhaled sharply, wincing in pain. Even though his fist was covered in a metallic sheen, it was pretty thin and he felt as if his wrist had dislocated.

"90 points!" The system announced the force of strength behind Palin's attack as the number also appeared on the counter.

"You've passed! Your strength grade is 9, a high-ranked grade for entrance exam examinees!" Alex evaluated with a look of approval on his face.

"Thanks, Sir, but I need medical attention!" Palin said as he tried his best to not let tears of weakness seep out of his eyes.

"Ah, yes," Alex said to Palin as he then motioned for one of the men clad in white holy clothing to come and heal Palin. The healer stepped down the raised platform and helped heal Palin's wrist to peak condition in a few minutes. Then Plain walked back to the crowds of students with a smile on his face.

He high-fives with his friends, as they said words of praise.

Palin smiled. He has passed the test of titan's strength test with a good grade.

Suddenly, a cold and old voice resounded in the air.

"Nothing special. I can do even better!"
