《Winter Sovereign》Chapter 48: Test of Skill
Advertisement
Lilia and her team enter the Hall of Skill to take the test.
Upon entering, they spot an old woman with a velvet robe.
She walks towards them.
"Oh dear, you came to take the test?"
Lilia stepped forward.
"Yes. Are you the proctor?"
She asked.
"Yes... It seems my disciple, Lesc, was the one who tested you earlier?"
"Lesc? Ah, the young man in green robes."
Luisa remarked.
"Yes. That's him. Well then... Will you listen to the rules first?"
"Yes."
Lilia immediately agreed.
"Very well... The trial of skill vary from person to person. There are only three tries for each person to take it. If one person fails after three tries, all of you fail."
It was harsh yet simple rules.
"We understand."
However, every participant took ardurious training to prepare for this tournament. All of them are all well prepared and are the best of the best among their generation in the world.
Luisa, Aies, Seileen and Lilia went through vigorous training and were well prepared.
The only question is Serra.
To this, they did feel some doubt.
How well would someone who joined in on the spur of the moment do?
"Very well. Each member would be tested individually."
The old woman pointed behind her.
"Before we start, I'll introduce myself. I'm different from my disciple who didn't even give you his name. I am Relin. Now, behind me are five doors. In order, the first door is for support, the second and third door is for the rearguards, the fourth is for the vanguard while the last is for the captain."
She finished.
All five of them faced each other and gave a determined nod.
This second trial is notorious for seeing the highest amount of failed groups.

However, they won't fail.
They each head off to their respective trial and entered.
"Hm... I believe that these five will succeed."
Relin spoke.
In her time, she saw many groups.
Thus, she's confident in her eyes in determing who will pass and who will fail. And in her opinion, those four will succeed.
Indeed, four.
She couldn't see through that young man who was their support.
One way to tell would be to look in their eyes.
She gazed in their eyes closely.
She also gazed at that young man closely but failed to tell anything...
"Could that one be a senior who came to join in on the tournament for fun?"
She muttered to herself.

Re: Naruto.
Cover image credits: Maou.X.YushaSteve, a college junior who seems to be doing quite well in life until one fateful day and he tumbled onto the Naruto Universe ending up being Naruto himself. Join him in his adventures and hardships as tries to become the Hokage.Note: Certain incidents would not happen as the manga or anime dictates and I do love the Naruto series very much and I just want you read my version. Mature tag for gore and violence and maybe sexual occurrences and no there is no harem and again a big no to NTR. Your feedback is very much appreciated.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
