《Soul Status (HIATUS)》Chapter 5
Advertisement
Before I could celebrate my accomplishment and relish on it, the soldier grabbed me and we again teleported back.
When we arrived I felt a little dizzy and I felt like the world was spinning around, but shortly everything became even and I didn’t feel dizzy anymore.
When I regained my senses I discovered that we were in front of the soldier barracks and the soldier next to me calmly told me “You only have 1 hour left before the entrance exam ends, I suggest you go now before time runs out. I’ll handle all of the paperwork needed to be done.”
At his comment I felt startled that he knew about the entrance exam taking place, after all I’m pretty sure the only ones that know are only the examinees or the school staff.
“Unless all the soldiers were told about this? But for what reason, is it to check the examinee’s? There is way too many people for that, there wouldn’t be enough manpower. I don’t have time to think about this right now I might as well follow his advice.”
Before I could respond back, the soldier had already went back to the barracks and left me standing there in which I could only shift my feet awkwardly.
Staying here won’t help me at all so with a goal in mind I just ran toward the school, but when I arrived unlike earlier in which the auditorium was filled with people and were bustling about instead what greeted me was just a empty, silent auditorium.
The only one here was Dargon who was still standing in the same place when I left which was the podium.
I don’t think he has seen me though and I guess I have to give the ring to him so that he could qualify me to enter to the school.

I began to walk toward him, but when I did that all of a sudden Dargon looked at me which to say the least it spooked me and a little while after that I felt some type of pressure from him.
As he stared at me I for some reason began to feel queasy and everything around me began to sway back and forth, which in turn made me feel more queasier than before.
With this sensation all of a sudden hitting me I began having thoughts inside my head “I can’t handle this, I should just get out of this auditorium and find a place where they could cure what’s happening to me. Who cares about this school I should just accept the fact that a statless person can never beat someone with a status in any category. The only reason I got enough corpse worth was through sheer luck after all if one of my deductions was wrong then it wouldn’t have worked out at all. Plus if I hadn’t met that uncommon mushroom beast while walking to this town then I wouldn’t have enough worth to pass the exam. Yeah that’s right I only got through with luck I should just quit while Im ahead and walk out of this auditorium. I should just walk out and never come again ever no matter what.”
What I was thinking was right I should just walk out and never come again I can’t believe I planned to enter the school just because luck was on my side and anyways I’m not a talented individual I should just accept the fact that I’m always going to be at the bottom of the barrel and live my life that way.
I turned around with the purpose of walking outside and never coming back, but before I could take that step forward an intense headache came upon me in which made me hold my head and I couldn’t help but groan loudly.

Shortly after my headache initiated to fade away and then completely disappeared without a trace in which my first thought was “What the hell was I even thinking! Leaving and never coming back just because I got here due to sheer luck and don’t have a status? Accept that I’m at the bottom of the barrel and live my life that way? Like hell I will just leave and not enter the school because of these reasons! I don’t have the luxury to choose not going in to this school because my future is at stake here and until the end of time I won’t ever stop trying to see if there is any way for me a stateless person to live better in this world!”
I got infuriated with myself for even thinking of these thoughts which almost made me leave and ruin my last chance of getting in to the school so that I can get a job.
But those thoughts I was having before clearly aren’t natural and I’m pretty sure I was feeling a little bit sick a little before those thoughts came in.
“Mmm… why did I all of a sudden began to feel sick and have those thoughts? The only cause I can think of is Dargon had something to do with this, after all when he stared at me that is when these symptoms started to appear.”
Well now that I think I know the cause I might as well try to run towards him as fast as I can, I don’t have a choice in the matter.
Strengthening my resolve I ran headfirst toward Dargon and again he all of a sudden started to stare at me in which I again felt sick and bad thoughts were creeping in to my brain.
But this time I was prepared for those effects in which I just dealt with the sickness and repelled the bad thoughts away with my own real thoughts.
As I got closer and closer though I felt worse and worse in which instead of running I now resorted to shuffling my way there.
When I finally was in front of Dargon it only took me about a few minutes to reach here but to me it felt like hours has passed.
Honestly I felt that I was about to faint at any moment and these negative thoughts were now really getting to me so with my last spurt of strength left I took off the ring and with a hoarse voice I said “he...he...here”.
Dargon accepted it, looked at it, and then all of a sudden I felt alleviated in which I couldn’t help but to fall on my knees and gasp for air.
Dargon just side glanced me and said with a neutral voice “Congratulations, you passed.”.

Maxmillian Grants, like any sixteen year old boy, wants to be a hero and he has a secret: he has the power to do it! Except, when he actually looks into the risks and the rewards he discovers that being a hero is not really worth it. Being a villain, on the other hand, certainly pays well. If you don't mind risking being sent to prison and being hunted by heroes and other villains. Max, not being an idiot, does mind both of those things. Instead of being a hero or being a villain, Max decides to take the third option, to be a vigilante! His plan? To hit the criminals in the gut and run off with their money, making the world a bit brighter at the same time by taking down the bad guys. But how long can he actually manage alone? Can he really navigate through the dangerous world of supers and capes without declaring for either heroes or villains? Or will he be sucked into the web of plots and drama that is the life of those with superpowers? (Cover photo by Sebastiaan Stam, downloaded from Unsplash)
