《Blood Evolution System 》Chapter 50: The third assessment!
Advertisement
The next day, the temporary students woke up early in the morning, some without any help at all, some with the help of alarm, some with the help of the faculty members, and some with the help of the droids.
After taking a cold shower, Nevis dried his body with a towel and wore a fashionable set of clothes, before walking out of the bathroom and sitting on one of the two beds, and he then turned to look at the person meditating on the other bed.
"So, she is your sister. Buddy, can you tell me more about her?" Nevis asked as he pretty curious about the angelic sister he saw last night and he wanted to know more about her.
Peter gave him an exhausted look. It might be pure coincidence or some other reason, but he and Nevis somehow ended up being roommates. Last night, he kept on asking questions about Vincent and his sister, exhausting him to the point where he fell asleep in the middle of the chat.
"I told you already to forget about her. You will only end up in pain if you chase after her. Although you are a royal, you don't have a chance to impress my sister. After all, she is already head over heels for big brother Vincent. I know for a fact that they had both like each other for a while, but it's just that they never expressed their feelings to each other. Once they do, they will become an inseparable couple."
As soon as Peter said those words, the eyes of Nevis blinked in wonderment as he looked at him in bewilderment. Immediately after, his eyes widened as if he realized what's happening.
"Buddy, I think you're misunderstanding my intentions. Last night, I only sacrificed myself for the benefit of others. I have no interest in your sister as a woman. I am genuinely interested in her as a person and would like to know her better and possibly even befriend her. That's pretty much all. She isn't my love interest or anything like that," Nevis said as he tidied his wavy hair.
"But yesterday, didn't you say that you will try to win her heart?" Peter said as he scratched his head in confusion.

"Oh that. I guess it really was misleading. It's all become of Generous Viewer. You see this?" Nevis showed him yesterday's lifestream chat. "He told me to act like that, and he even send me 2000 rockets, as I managed to break Vincent's stoic character and forced him to say what he felt in his heart," Nevis said with a smile as he believed that he did a good job with uniting two people in love.
"Ah. Now I get it," Peter said. "What's the rockets for? Is it some kind of money that online streamers get?"
"I guess you can say that. It can be exchanged for virtual credits. You need 500 rockets to exchange for one virtual credit. I earned 4 last night," Nevis said.
"How much is that in federation cash?" Peter asked as he was curious about the currency exchange rate.
He was never able to gain access to virtual reality as he wasn't rich enough to buy a device that can connect to the virtual network. The information related to virtual reality can only be found in the virtual world. That's why he didn't know the value of virtual credits.
"Hmm, a single virtual credit can be traded for nearly five thousand federation cash," Nevis answered after glancing at the exchange rates.
"Wow, that means you earned 20k in one day, and that too by doing nothing at all," Peter exclaimed as he looked at Nevis.
"Buddy, how can you say that? I work hard alright. I completed my viewer's request. That's why I got awarded with so many rockets. Besides, didn't you saw them leaving the infirmary together? I believe that I helped pushed their relationship to the next level. You can hardly find a good man like me that acts as a matchmaker in this world," Nevis said as he recalled them peeking at Vincent and Leila last night while hiding in the corridors.
"We still don't know about that," Peter replied before he stood up to wear a new set of clothes.
"You will see!" Nevis exclaimed as Peter closed the bathroom door on his face.
After Peter came out of the bathroom, it was already near the time for the next assessment to begin.

"Buddy, let's go. Only five minutes are left before the next assessment begins," Nevis said.
"Eh? Were you waiting for me?" Peter said as he looked at him with an expression of bewilderment.
"Duh, isn't it obvious?"
Peter scratched the back of his head as he thought that it has only been a day since they met yet he is treating him like a close friend. Is this person that thirsty for friends?
"Alright, let's go together," Peter said.
Thus, he and Nevis headed out of the room, walking towards the exam room. It wasn't just them as a lot of students could also be seen sprinting towards the same place where they were heading.
As they were walking through the crowd, Varth sneakily brushed past them. A tiny insect-shaped record jumped out of his sleeves and entered Peter's clothes without anyone noticing.
A few minutes ago, the persons who Nevis and Peter were talking about were laying on the bed, one sleeping soundly in the warm embrace of her lover while the other staring at her, wondering why he didn't clearly express himself earlier and held her hand sooner.
It's because he was the type of guy that finds it hard to express his feelings clearly.
"She looks so cute," Vincent thought while staring at Leila's sleeping face.
In the middle of the night, she has transformed back into a human being.
Leila's eyes fluttered open as she felt someone's hot breath brushing against her skin. She looked up and saw Vincent staring at her.
"Good morning," Vincent said as he kissed her forehead.
Leila's cheeks flushed red and she hid her face in his chest, her heart pounding rapidly.
"You too. I hope you have a nice day," Leila said in a gentle and meek tone.
"Thanks for wishing me well," Vincent said as he caressed her head. "Go get ready. We don't have much time left."
After he said those words, Leila turned around to look at the clock and her eyes widened as she realized that only ten minutes were left before the third assessment begins.
"You should have woke me up sooner," she complained
"It's honestly your fault. You looked so cute while sleeping that I forgot everything else, and just continued to stare at you," Vincent said as he teasingly smile.
"I am gonna get ready!" she exclaimed as she evaded his gaze.
Leila pinched his cheeks, stood up, and went to the bathroom to dress up in a hurry.
"Let's hold hands," Vincent offered one they were ready to head out of the room.
"Sure," Leila replied as she held on to one of his hands.
Along the way, Vincent and Leila met up with Nevis and Peter.
Once Nevis saw him holding Leila's hand as she was his treasure that he couldn't afford to lose, a smile stretched across his face.
"See that?"
"Yeah. From that small gesture of holding hands, I can see that they have gotten closer," Peter said as he rubbed his chin while looking at his sister and her boyfriend while standing a few steps away from them.
"I told you so," Nevis said with a smile.
The temporary students hurriedly made their way to the examination room. The examiners were already in the room, sitting on comfortable chairs, sipping on some kind of refreshments.
"Senior, what's the test going to be about?" Kayle asked as she looked at the elven men sitting beside her.
"A simple psychological game," Theodore replied with an expression of mysteriousness. "Those who fall short to live up to our standard will be immediately filtered out."
"I'm guessing a lot of students will break under the pressure," Alex said.
"Hmm, you're correct. A sword that easily bends and breaks is useless to our cause. After all, it will only be burdensome to carry such swords. So I thought that this year, it's better to disqualify such students, rather than accepting them all, and as this is the last test that allows disqualification, I decided to hold it on my own. I hope you guys aren't dissatisfied." Theodore said as he crossed his legs, looking at the temporary students with a thoughtful gaze.
"Not at all," Kayle said.
"I think like. Besides, it's as you say, Senior. It's useless to waste resources on students with fragile mentality."
As Alex said those words, Theodore closed his eyes as warm and bitter liquid went down his throat, clearing his senses and warming his body.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
