《Blood Evolution System 》Chapter 51: Psychological warfare!
Advertisement
After a few minutes, Vincent and Leila entered the assessment room along with Nevis and Peter. They couldn't see the training equipment used for yesterday's test of titan's strength. The testing court was clear without any signs of obstacles.
"Welcome to the third and the second last test," Theodore said once all the temporary students reached the assessment room. "I believe some of you might already know about me, but I would like to introduce myself formally to those who don't. My name is Theodore Roosevelt, a very special high-ranking official working as an instructor in the military academy. And I will be conducting this test, so look forward to it," he added with a dashing smile on his handsome face.
One could see a lot of girls being disrespectful as they looked at him, seemingly having no intention of looking away. After all, he looked extremely attractive as he was an elf.
"Good morning, sir!" Geom said in a boisterously. "What will this test be about?"
"You will find out pretty soon," Theodore said to Geom as he then looked at the examinees. "Before we begin, I'll be asking a question. Amongst all of you… who acknowledges that seeing is believing? If so, raise your hands. If not, you may just stand still."
A lot of students raised their hands, indicating that they believe what they see while around thirty percent of the students stood still. However, some of them wondered why he had asked such a question. It felt weird, to say the least, and Vincent believed that he might have asked this question for a mysterious purpose. Though he wasn't even sixty percent sure.
"Umm, great," Theodore said as he looked at some of the temporary students with a gaze of approval. Immediately after, he smiled and said: "In the third assessment, you must hunt magical and demonic beasts."

Not just Vincent and Leila, but even the rest of the examinee including the lesser and greatly royals looked at him with an expression of bewilderment.
"Are you serious?"
"What made you think that teenagers like us can kill demonic beasts?"
"We will die, seriously."
On Earth, the beasts were categorized into four grades: Low-level, mid-level, high-level and transcendental rank beasts. In the universe, however, the low-level beasts were called magical beasts and the mid-level beasts were called demonic beasts.
The difference between them was pretty simple. A magical beast is a beast that could use elemental attack but hasn't opened its energy channels while a demonic beast has managed to open one or more energy channels.
The power of the beasts increases exponentially once their energy channels are opened.
A demonic beast was far stronger than a magical beast. Most of the temporary students here can't hold a candle against demonic beasts.
"Silence! First, let him finish speaking."
As soon as Alex said those words, the students quietened down and silence returned to the room.
"Listen well, and then decide!"
As soon as Theodore said those words, a holographic screen opened in front of their visions. It showed a valley filled with ferocious-looking magical and demonic beasts, each with an aura so threatening that the students could feel their legs shaking.
"This is the valley of wealth. It's a place filled with a lot of wonderful treasures. However, it's also called the valley of death. For those without adequate strength usually ends up dead once they enter this area. Naturally, the beasts will try most definitely hunt you down and try to kill you. Though only the weak will become prey and die to them. In order to pass the last exam, you must hunt the beasts in the valley of wealth and death to earn contribution points. Each time you hunt a beast, the point will be recorded on your temporary student ID card. The higher the strength of the beasts, the more points you'll earn. It'll only require 30 contribution points to pass this exam. Furthermore, you can keep the treasures you obtain. Simple, isn't it?" Theodore explained with a smile as he looked at the students with a playful gaze hidden beneath a serious stare.

He was internally laughing his guts out as he stared at the terrified expression on the face of the temporary students but his joy was masked by a serious demeanor.
"This year's military entrance examination is far harder compared to the previous years. Therefore, you are free to choose whether you want to participate in this assessment or not. If you choose not to participate, then move to the back of the room. If you choose to participate in the assessment, then please move to the center of the court. You all have ten minutes to decide. So, take your time and think clearly about it."
Theodore explained the special rule of this assessment to the temporary students.
"Do you have any questions?"
"What happens if we choose not to participate?" A student asked a question that was on everyone's mind.
"Is that even a question? Isn't it obvious that you'll fail the entrance examination."
"You'll be sent home!"
Immediately after Kayle and Alex said those words, several students decided against participating in the deadly assessment. After all, that is the only way they'll remain alive. It was better than risking their lives and dying under the claws of the terrifying beasts.
"I am too young to risk my life."
"I also don't want to participate in this assessment!"
"It's too risky. Let's pull out."
A lot of temporary students stepped backward, as they didn't have the guts to risk their lives nor the brawns to understand the deep implications behind Theodore's words.
