Advertisement
Author note: Good morning! Thank you all for following my work! We finally reach more than 100 followers~ Enjoy the chapter!
Today was a special day within the Guho capital,
Adventurers, martial artists, kids from every family and woke up early and started their usual training before leaving home. Everyone without exception was walking towards the Guho academy. Even morning workers who normally already opened their shop was helping their children before leaving home. It was the same for Mi Liu. He woke up at 6 and started his early training with Mi Nyan before leaving the space and heading towards Guho academy.
Inside the Guho's academy hall, the teachers and elders from the school were all reunited discussing amongst them for the test preparation happening today. 3 Days ago, Luo Fei the principal came back and decided to modify the school test admission. Something that never happened until now. They were all preparing the special stage that no one had yet to know.
In front of Guho academy, tons of people had gathered and were waiting for the opening of the admission test. Mi Liu and Mi Nyan were both waiting with the others people. The academy's entrance was large enough for more than a million of people to gather so they usually don't have trouble walking though the academy, but today it was still unexpectedly crowded.
After finally waiting until 10 o'clock, someone opened the academy's door and with a magic device speaker shouted.
"The admission test will start now, please line up and enter in the academy without pushing!"
People slowly entered in the school. Once entering in the school, a badge with a number was given. Meanwhile, groups of people started to form and when every groups finally dispatched with a teacher per assigned per group. Once Mi Liu's group finally arrived at destination, a huge crystal monument was in front of them. The teacher stopped in front of the crystal and shout inside the speaker.

"The first test is the soul force test. You need to have at least more than 200 soul force in order to pass the first test and proceeded to the second test. Please line up one by one and pour your qi energy or magic power in the crystal."
People started to line up. When the first boy touched the crystal monument with his palm, a faint light appeared with numbers appearing inside the crystal monument showing '231 qi energy'.
"You pass, qi fighter category. Next!"
The second boy also proceeded as the same way as the last one. The line slowly advance until it was finally Mi Liu's turn. Mi Liu walked in front of the crystal monument pouring qi energy into the gauntlet and touch the crystal with his palm. A faint light started to shine and numbers suddenly appeared inside the crystal monument that was in front of Mi Liu. '300 soul force qi energy'
"You pass, qi fighter category. Next!"
After watching the crystal monument, he finally relaxed and quickly left the place for the next candidate and waited for Mi Nyan's turn.
After twenty minutes, it was finally Mi Nyan's turn. Mi Nyan advanced to the crystal monument leisurely and totally relaxed that she almost fell. People started to laugh and calmed their hearts once they saw this side of her. They were all smiling and cheering for Mi Nyan. Once Mi Nyan touch the crystal monument with her hand, a bright light illuminated though the whole room and a four digits' numbers appeared inside the crystal monument. The teacher totally shocked shout with his whole body trembling.
"1230! ...Soul force 1230 qi fighter!"
The teacher was repeating the '1230' several times in low tone before regaining his composure. The crowd was all watching Mi Nyan with envy and respect. This is the first time in Guho empire! Someone breaking through 700 was considered as a genius so what about 1230? Even all the renowned expert fighter couldn't achieve such a feat until now. What would happen once she reach 15 years? The most intermediate fighters that reach the four digits doesn't reach more than a hundred not even talking at such young age. It was the first record in the Guho academy. The girl figure has been totally imprinted in Mi Liu's group that day. Only Mi Liu didn't watch the crystal monument and was thinking about selling his pills after the test, so everyone except him heard the commotion. He headed towards the second test with Mi Nyan following him.

In the same group as Mi Liu, a group of people were chatting after the commotion Mi Nyan caused. One of the four boy, Meng Tian ask.
"Hey brother Jian what do you think about this girl?"
Ky Jian was at loss and stared at Meng Tian then finally spoke.
"She will probably become one of the most dangerous and troublesome one in the tournament."
Everyone nodded. With such soul force, even a 5-star intermediate fighter is going to have trouble against her. Since the tournament was a five on five they need to recruit her no matter what. When everyone was thinking to how to recruit her, Qiang Tan spoke.
"But I saw her following someone, she might already have an ally with her. What do you think about her Wen?"
Tang Wen didn't even try to listen to the conversation, but when Qiang Tan glance at him and ask, he opened both of his eyes and with a totally frightening tone said.
"...No problem, I will beat her on the tournament."
"Pffft hahaha! This is really like your Wen"
Qiang Tan laughed loudly. Tang Wen was one of the prodigious child within the Guho empire. He wasn't as strong as Mi Nyan but just the fact that she was stronger by only 200 soul force make him wanted to vomit blood but he suppressed it deep inside his mind. He could only wait the right opportunity to duel her, once inside the academy dual were allowed. With such thought, Tang Wen followed the group advancing toward the second test.
* * * * *
After everyone finally finished the crystal monument test, about ⅓ of the group has been refused. For people who could not even reach more than 200 soul forces, no future could await them in the Guho academy. When they finally headed towards the second test, they directed towards a big colosseum. Inside the colosseum around 300'000 people remained and was gathering and waiting for further instructions. A teacher finally took the speaker and shout.
"From now the second test will start, we already wrote your name, soul forces and numbers. The second test is a match..."
The teacher paused for a moment. But once everyone heard the word 'match' they could only all gulped. The atmosphere tense and everyone was glancing at the teacher urging him to continue. The teacher finally said after a faint smile.
"You don't need to win the fight to pass, but remember to fight at your best ability."
When he finished his explanation, one of the teacher called 2 candidates.
"First match candidate number 54'349 Mu Dean versus candidate number 39'439 Zhu Mei."
And the second test finally started.

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.
