"Move to the array platform," a man said to a group of teenagers standing to one side in the mansion's yard.

The teenagers in the group had a variety of expressions; some appeared to be in despair, while others appeared to be excited or nervous.

The group was obviously the one with which Fionn arrived in town. After about 30 minutes of walking from the city gate, the couple finally brought them to this mansion located who knows where in the city.

Many of the teens in their group with low ranking bloodlines were eliminated along the way as participants with high ranking bloodlines already present in the city continued to attack them with bloodline suppression.

Those who were attacked were unavoidably knocked out and had no chance of fighting back; almost everyone below rank 2 was eliminated, and only a few survived because they were related to or friends with capable fellows.

The people who were eliminated were taken to safety by city guards, who were stationed almost everywhere in the city and watched everyone's every move like hawks.

By this point, everyone can guess that the legacy entrance exam has already begun and that some sort of sick game is already in progress. Remembering the signs of battles throughout the city, the cowardly ones of the group began to regret their decision to come here. The one with the battlemonger attitude was excitedly cracking their knuckles.

When they heard what the man said, the teens who were standing there with excitement dashed to the array platform in the middle of the yard, their eyes blazing with fighting spirit. The ones standing nervously and despairingly looked at the array platform, then at the crowd of teenagers who had followed them all the way from the city gates to here and were now standing outside the mansion's perimeter with a smirk on their faces.

When he saw them standing like dumb chickens, the man said again, a little more forcefully, "move to the array platform."

The rest of the teens, startled by the man's abrupt change of tone, walked over to the platform, albeit a little nervously.

When everyone was finally standing above the array platform, the man activated it by placing a mana crystal in a grove of the platform.

The array activated with a bright flash of light, engulfing everyone inside in intense brilliance.

Fionn, who was also standing on the array platform, felt as if his entire body was being scanned; however, because he had nothing to hide, he allowed the process to continue unimpeded.

After about 20 seconds, the light from the array faded, and just when everyone thought the process was over, the array lit up again, and in front of each person appeared a rhombus-shaped token displaying the number zero, levitating in front of their faces.

"What is this?" everyone wondered, grabbing the token in their hands and inspecting it with a puzzled look.

"This is your identity token, and it will be very useful to you throughout the examination. They may all appear the same, but they are all unique to you because they emit the same aura as your body. They can't be stolen because they automatically return to their owner if they're more than 10 metres away, and they can't be destroyed, at least not by you. The number it is now displaying is the number of points you have accumulated; the more you have, the better, as they will be very useful in the entrance exam." explained the couple's woman calmly.

"How can we earn these points?" asked a boy from the group.

When the women heard the question, she gave a sinister smile and said "Earning points is simple: defeat the other examinees. For each examinee you defeat, you will receive 5 points plus the points accumulated by the examinee you defeated. However, there is a catch: you cannot use any battle spells, innate spells, or your Avatar. To summarise, you cannot use any form of magic. I must say that you are extremely unlucky because you arrived so late in the competition, which has been going on for 5 days, and others who arrived earlier have already eliminated the weaker ones and formed groups among themselves; you will have a difficult time surviving."

"How are we late? Isn't the exam supposed to start in two days?" Complained a member of the group.

"Who said the examination had begun? What's going on now is just a simple competition; because the number of participants is increasing too quickly each year, we're using this competition to reduce the number of participants. Even if you have 0 points at the end of the competition, you can still participate in the exams as long as you are not eliminated, though I will encourage you to earn as many as you can because, as I previously stated, they will be very useful." The woman responded.
