Fuh, I had a good sleep, now to prepare for the test. I think I can do well if its just like yesterday. Lets do a warm up at the garden. I get up to change my clothes to do some warm ups in the garden. After finishing my warm ups in the garden, I go to kitchen and prepare breakfast made of steak, miso soup and salad. When I'm cooking my mom comes into the kitchen.
"You sure wake up early, fueeeeh."
"This is normal for me, if I let dad cook i would be dead by now."
"Your dads useless as ever huh, anyway~~~ let me try the miso soup."
My mom then drinks the miso soup.
"YUMMY, how can you cook?. It's sure nice to have a son like this."
"It's not like I'm skilled in everything, I'm pretty weak at other housework."
"Don't worry I will do the rest and you can cook, it is enough."
Fuh, I heard mom can't cook looks like it is true, dad says if mom cooks it could kill a demon, but there is no way this is not a novel or manga right? RIGHT? I think the worst that will happen will be to vomit. Well it doesn't matter.
"Fey fer fuo hrepaded?(Hey are you prepared?)"
"Yes, mom so don't worry about me I will check again so eat slowly."
She nods up and down many times. I go to my room to check on my weapons after checking that they are fine, I check the time. Looks like there is still time. I will eat then. When i got back.....
"Hey,where is my share?"
"A cat's eating it."
"Mom do you think I am blind, it is clear that my plate is on moms side and it's empty."
"Sorry, sorry it's been so long since i have eaten such delicious food."
...........
"Next time, I will make extra."
After that I make my meal again and eat, looks like the tale that a girl's stomach is bigger than a mans is true.

Then I go to school with mom who tells me she is a teacher there. When I ask the schools name mom says .
"It is Crystal Wing school."
Crystal Wing? Seeing my questioning face mom says.
"See, instead of normal feathers as the pair of wings they are diamond shape crystals that makes the wings."
"No, not that. What I want to know is the meaning of that symbol."
"It is no fun if I tell you, search for its meaning okay?"
"Yes."
"We arrived."
When we arrive I see a huge building, there is also a building forming a wing from the main building, so huge.
"The test room is at the main building at the podium on the fourth floor. You better go now."
"Okay."
"See you later."
After that I go to main building I then go to the podium. When I arrived the room is already full. There are around 600 people I think. After looking around I search for an empty seat, I find one and sit there. Then a girl with a red hair and a pony tail sits beside me then she asks me.
"Are you also a participant?"
"Yes."
"Can i ask you? Why bring a weapon here? It is clear that mana is stronger than a normal sword. It can enhance magic and its better than a normal weapon!"
"It's not like that it's just that l...."
Then the lamp turned off.
"Looks like it gonna get started. Let's see what the test will be like."
... Then a man appeares and announces.
"Ladies and gentleman, I congratulate you for being chosen by our academy, as you know our school has created many general's and hero's in the past. But a year ago we lost our honor by losing the world competition, it makes my heart hurt ohh...ah...it hurts so much, it hurts."
What is wrong with this teacher, does he enjoy the disgrace that much.
"Cough. Anyways that is the reason we lost so many applicants compared to last year. It doesn't matter. What is more important is quality rather than quantity, so we have made the test harder but it is only one test. Anyone that has failed can also take a written test. Do your best at the practical test, oh yeah you can die from this if anyone wants to give up you can go now."

"...... No I better save my life."
"I have better chance at a written test anyway's so I will go ."
"No no no no, it's not like father said it would be."
Then around 1/3 of the people give up, they go out to take written test or go home...
"So will you take the practical test or written?" Asks the girl.
"Practical of course." I answer with a smile.
"Then we are in the same boat." She smiled
I want to meet my moms expectations that is why I choose the practical test, besides I want to see what kind of tests there will be.
"Well done brave ones. Everyone stand up."
Everyone stands up.
"Chair's off."
The chairs then go to the right and left also to the corners of the podium.
"So shall we begin?"
Then he claps his hand twice and a cage appears. Inside the cage there are 10 wyvern's.
"The rules are quite simple kill all the wyvern's before they kill you, if all you killed the wyvern then you succeed but if you fail then bye-bye see you next life. SO BEGIN"
The cage opens a wyvern jumps out and roars.
"Hey you better summon your mana and create mana body so you at least won't die."
Mana body is our mirrored body created by our mana so it's fine if our mana body gets killed because we can repair it in a day.
I already created it before the wyvern jumped out so I drawed my swords and run.
"Hey, stop. You can't defeat a B ranked dragon type alone."
But I have already ran so I couldn't hear her clearly.
The wyvern sees me, it spins its body trying to hit me with it's tail but I have anticipated that so I jumped and cast Wind magic: "Wind body" and Physics magic: "Physical boost".
My body is enhanced by wind, now I can ignore air resistance. My body is boosted when I land on the ground, the wyvern flys at me then dives down fast to bite me. The world turned into a slow motion like effect around me.
I concentrated on my database in my brain to search for this wyvern's weak point. I have already saved the details in my brain. The weak point's are it's wings joint, the back of its head and right in middle of it's back.
1 thrust at its head, 3 thrusts and 2 slashes at each wing joint. As i mark the spots I must slash and thrust. The wyvern is already nearing me, I dodge a bit to right, then thrust my left sword at the back of its head but it is not deep enough for my sword to hit its brain. Because a dragon bone is hard I need more power to destroy it but it's enough. The wyvern staggers and slows a bit which made it move its right wing down.
Then I draw my left sword back and swing it diagonally 2 times and my right sword vertically 2 times when it passes me the wing had been cut. When it struggles it falls to the the ground I dash towards the wyvern and thrust my sword three times at the same spot, 2 times to break the bone and 1 to kill it. When my thrust hits three times the wyvern stopped moving. If you ask me why I don't do the same to its head?
Cause a dragon type monster is expensive and can sell well, so I destroy just it's heart which is useless. After I draw my swords back everyone is silent, they see me as monster. When the rest of wyverns see its comrade die they roared with bloodlust that I could feel from them .
"Come here, you reptile bat. It's enough for me alone to kill all of you."
Let's get started!

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
