    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m going tounch us upwards," Keith exined. That was the n he came up with.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How can we do that?" Gabriel found his n interesting. But how were they going to do it?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We''ll use wind magic to propel ourselves upwards."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But magic doesn''t work," Gabriel stated.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith shook his head, "It''s not that it doesn''t work. It will onlyst five seconds before we have to cast it again." His earth stairssted a few seconds before they broke.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s why we need to propel ourselves upwards with wind magic continuously."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s an interesting idea," Gabrielughed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You know how to use wind magic?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm," Gabriel nodded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s go!" Like that, Gabriel made his move as he jumped off the ledge! It was a quick and sudden move.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do these guys have a death wish?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Why are they so stupid?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was like the two of them were ying a game! How could they jump off the stairs they made?! But Gabriel made his move as he used wind magic! Itunched him even higher!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Now!" Gabriel shouted as he pulled the chains! Keith gotunched up as well!


    <span style="font-weight:400">And he quickly created an earth b! Without a thought, he pulled on the rope and flung Gabriel higher. Five seconds was enough for Keith tounch Gabriel even higher in the air!


    <span style="font-weight:400">The two were going up like that?! Everyone was staring in shock at how fast they went.


    <span style="font-weight:400">….


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hah," Cadmus and the two couldn''t help but chuckle as they stared at the scene.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"See. Keith''s the type to think of crazy ideas like that,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Aidiun thought, "These kids are smart and daring at the same time," The usual way was to continuously cast the magic to go higher. But that would mean it would take someone with a lot of mana.


    <span style="font-weight:400">However, the two used a different way to get to the top. It was the same method but faster.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"So that''s why he jumped down in the beginning," Aidiun was confused as to why Keith would jump down like that. But he was testing the sticity of the chain. He was using that to his advantage.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"They''re going to reach the top soon," Sohma noted as he saw how high they were. It wouldn''t take long before they reached the top.


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We made it!" Keith shouted as the two had reached the top! It was incredible.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith and Gabriel were the first people to get to the top,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Good job, you two." Aidiun appeared before them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmmm," "What do we need to do now, Proctor?" Gabriel questioned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"There''s nothing you need to do. You have to wait for the rest of the contestants toe up,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood," Like that, the two of them sat on the ground and waited for the time to pass. It didn''t take long before another pair hade up. It was a pair of elves.


    <span style="font-weight:400">One of the elves had beautiful tinum blond hair and light green eyes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hello," Keith waved his hand, greeting them. But one ignored him while the other one scoffed at him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith scratched his head. Oh well. There was nothing he could say about it. As they waited, there were some people who came up. The two pairs that came up were around 50. And the time was up.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The rest had failed!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Wow, more than 80 percent of the people failed. There were around 300 people in this test. And 240 were done. It was cutthroat.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Aidiun snapped his fingers together. Like that, the ones who had failed all appeared!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Those who failed, exit to your right,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This is messed up!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How could you do something like that?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What does this test even mean?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">The students who failed were furious about what had happened. This test was something they didn''t understand.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith sighed when he heard theirints. He understood what this test was focused on.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hah, that is why you fools failed," Aidiun shook his head. That caused the students'' expressions to contort.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This test was to test your abilities to be quick-witted." Aidiunughed at them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This test was to examine how you could react in tense moments. And how to make changes on the fly. In the real world, there are multiple asions where you have to do that,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">That was what the test was about. Being chained to another person made the situation bizarre. Adding the suddenness of the ground shaking, it would rattle anyone.


    <span style="font-weight:400">And that was the purpose. In situations, you need to have a clear mind.


    <span style="font-weight:400">And then with the added effect of getting close to the top. It was to see who could make snap judgments to fit the need.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." The failed students had nothing to say.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You guys failed because you couldn''t adapt to the situation given to you," Aidiun shook his head,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Now scram!" With a wave of his hands, the people flew away without a thought!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." No one said a thing. One move was enough to cause those people to fly away! He could have done that any time he wanted.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Aidiun turned to the one who passed, "I will tell you the scores right here,"
