Meanwhile at a beautiful and well designed room, there were around 20 people watching screens showing the exam. One of the screens was showing what Adrius had done to the poor girl who saw his face.

“Croft your apprentice is crazy, you should control his actions!” Said a beautiful woman, she had blonde hair, golden eyes and she wore golden magus robes. Her name was Katherine, the only healing magus in the academy, she would insult Croft whenever she had the chance to.

Croft turned his head to her and said: “ Crazy? So what? The strong eats the weak, and as you see that girl was not strong enough to survive. And did you forget what the purpose of this exam is?”

Katherine wanted to answer Croft but a voice cut her before she could speak: “ That's enough!” The voice came from a man sitting in a chair that was higher than everyone else, it was the headmaster of the academy. The only rank 2 magus and the strongest in the academy. He was very handsome with short brown hair, ice cold blue eyes and a cold expression.

Everybody shut his mouth when the headmaster spoke and continued watching the exam.

While this argument was happening Adrius was walking around looking for people to take their badges.

He had a tube in his hand, it was the same poison he gave to the girl he killed a few minutes ago. It was a poison that targets the nerve system, and makes the target go through immeasurable pain. And even if the target can get rid of the poison then the pain will probably break their mind if they didn’t have strong will. He created this poison by help of a poison he made in his previous life, he has made some upgrades and now the poison can kill everyone under the rank 2 magus apprentice with a 100% success rate. It has the chance to kill a newly advanced rank 2 magus apprentice.

Adrius then hid the tube in his pouch that was hanging from his hip. He walked for some time until he heard screaming and fighting noise.

He headed toward it immediately, he was sure no one could kill him in this exam, he was at the peak and he maybe is the strongest person in this exam right now. But it didn’t make him less cautious, if he sees something he can’t deal with he would run without hesitation. Even if his reputation gets down, who cares? Which is more valuable: his reputation or his life? Of course it is his life. So he will run without hesitation if there is a threat he can’t handle.

He got to the fighting place very quickly, there were two students fighting. Their aura told Adrius that they weren’t at the peak but around 14-15 points. So he was confident of killing them both, but he didn’t move from his place. But he hid himself and aura and waited for one of them to die, then he attacks and get two badges without any effort.

The 2 students were focusing on the fight so they didn’t notice Adrius who was watching them from the bushes.

After 30 minutes one of the students fell on the ground lifeless, there was a dagger inside his heart.

The other student sighed a sigh of relief: “ Sigh” That was inten…” Before he could finish his words a black arrow entered his brain, and he fell down dead.

Adrius then walked out from his hiding place and looted their bodies, he didn’t find anything valuable. Except the dagger, but the dagger he had was a lot better then the one in the student’s heart, so he left it.

“Get out and stop hiding!” Said Adrius in a cold voice.

Then a group of 3 students walked out from the forest and faced Adrius. There were two girls and one guy in the group and they all had magic points around 13-14.

The girl in front who Adrius thought was the group leader talked first: “ Mr. Adrius we didn’t mean to annoy you, we were just walking by and saw the fight”

Adrius looked at her with a cold look:” So what? If you give me your badges then I will let you live!” Threatened Adrius

The guy then screamed at Adrius: “ Who the fuck do you think you are? We are 3 and you are one, if we want we will kill you!”

The leader’s face went pale, because she knew that her dumb brother just destroyed the only chance of them walking without a fight.

“ I see, then no one of you will get out today!” Saying That Adrius drew the sword that he had on his left hip, he brought it with him because it can help him if his magic power is finished and he has to wait for it to fill again.

The girl sighed and drew her daggers too, the boy drew his sword and the other quiet girl started to take out a saber.

Before they were all prepped Adrius attacked he used shadow step to get in front of the quiet girl she didn’t take out her saber yet so she didn’t have anything shielding her from the blow that was coming. When the other two reacted it was too late, the girl’s head was rolling on the grass.

“ No! I will fucking kill you” Screamed the boy with anger, the girl was his girlfriend and Adrius has just killed her without flinching.

Adrius laughed an evil laugh and said: “ I would like to see you try to do that.”

Then the boy felt as if something hit him in the face, he went down on the floor and dropped his weapon. Then his weapon started to float and got to Adrius. Adrius threw it behind him on the girl's body.

The boy got up again and took out a dagger, he then nodded to his sister and she nodded back. They then attacked together, Adrius was ready, he started to block and chop with the sword. He even took out his dagger and used it as a parrying dagger.

He was using shadow steps to make him faster and make the siblings tired fast. The older sister noticed it very fast and stopped following him around, but the brother didn’t take his sister's advice and continued following Adrius.

Adrius then stopped and turned to face the brother, the brother came very close to him and tried to slash him with his sword, he retrieved it in the fight. But then a black smoke appeared around adrius and covered them both, the sister had a very bad feeling about the smoke and she ran to it trying to break it but she couldn’t. Then after seconds the smoke disappeared and Adrius appeared with the guy’s head in his hand. The head had a face of terror and disbelief.

“ NOO!” Screamed the girl, when she saw her brother’s head in Adrius’s hand.

Adrius then laughed and said: “ He wasn’t brave after all, do you know what he said in the smoke? He said “Mom, sister help me” while he was crying.” Said Adrius with a mocking tone.

“ I will fucking kill you even if it means my death” Screamed the girl.

She started to run toward him but after some steps she fell down on the floor and started to scream and spasm like a crazy person. Her vocal chords were torn apart by her screams, after minutes of pain she finally died.

“Hmm, she lived longer than the first one. Interesting?” Said Adrius, he has covered his weapons with his new poison. Thus if someone gets scratched then they are doomed. And he doesn’t have to fight for a long time.

“ Now I have 7 badges, my luck is really getting better” Said Adrius with a grin, he was also happy because creeping darkness worked.
