<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, you beat a proctor," Gabriel stated.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes, I did," Keith nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why are you acting like this isn''t normal?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Is it?" The proctor was another person. It was normal for them to be beaten.
<span style="font-weight:400">Gabriel retorted, "Can you really say that? Look at the others," He pointed at all the other people. Their expressions said it all. They were shocked by what had happened.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Has anyone defeated an instructor before?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"This might be the first!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"That was a fluke!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Hearing all their murmurs, beating an instructor was not the standard. Keith shrugged as he went and sat down.
<span style="font-weight:400">The only thing he needed to do was to rest. While he waited, Keith understood why the others were giving him a strange look. The instructor wiped out 10 students in under 5 minutes!
<span style="font-weight:400">They were obliterated. The instructor wasn''t holding back at all. The students continued to go forward.
<span style="font-weight:400">It was the same result.
<span style="font-weight:400">They didn''t stand a chance. Once they tried to make a move, the instructor would obliterate them!
<span style="font-weight:400">It seemed I really didn''t need to beat him. What he saw was some people running away from the instructor instead. They passed based on this.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good job out there," Gabriel walked over to Keith. Keith handed him some water.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thanks." Gabriel drank the water and stated, "But he''s much stronger than when you fought him." His fight with him onlysted almost three minutes, much longer than the others.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I think what you did made him angry," Gabriel joked.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith scoffed, "I think it''s because these guys think he was weak," That was not his fault. What Keith did might have given the others blind confidence. Since a student beat the proctor, they could do the same! But they were so wrong.
<span style="font-weight:400">The proctor went crazy and knocked them all out without a thought. The proctor''s strength was incredible. It didn''t take long before everyone was done.
<span style="font-weight:400">"The rankings are on the board," Like that, it was shown clearly. Keith was in first ce again. But not only that. It was by a wide margin!
<span style="font-weight:400">He was the only one who beat the proctor.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Pleasee back tomorrow to face the final test," Aidiun said nothing as he left them. Keith and Gabriel decided to return to the inn. What they didn''t know was that Keith became the talk of the Academy!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Did you hear?! A proctor was defeated!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"What?! Who was the one who did it!"
<span style="font-weight:400">While the students talked about it, the proctors who handed the tests were mulling.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You were holding back, right?" One of the proctors questioned. He couldn''t believe a proctors would lose to a 15-year-old. It sounded unbelievable.
<span style="font-weight:400">But the person who fought Keith shook his head, "I wasn''t. The test was to disy the difference between us and the kids," What this test tried to prove was to show how much they had to learn. Overwhelm them with force! But,
<span style="font-weight:400">"That kid was able to hold his own against me." Keith was throwing punches against him. Unlike the majority of the students, he was the one fighting back. He added,
<span style="font-weight:400">"He also took advantage of my thought of him being only a student."
<span style="font-weight:400">The proctor thought of Keith as a regr student. But Keith was more than that. He used that advantage to surprise him and catch him off guard.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"He''s the outlier of the century." One of the proctors noted. There was no need to look at a person like this. There was no need to talk about him any longer.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What about the magic exam? How is that?" They should go through everything step by step.
<span style="font-weight:400">"There were a lot who did fine. But the one who shined the most besides the outlier is the Elven princess." Aidiun stated as he continued,
<span style="font-weight:400">"She cleared the most targets out of everyone. But she wasted a lot of mana."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see," The instructors nodded their heads. But then one questioned, "Who has the higher ability in magic?" He was definitely talking about Keith and the princess.
<span style="font-weight:400">Aidiun shook his head, "I don''t know. Contestant 84 wasn''t going all out."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"He used the most minimal magic power to destroy the target," Keith wasn''t like the others. He held back. Unlike the others who used all AOE attacks, Keith focused on uracy and targeting them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." He was holding back? The proctors had no words to say.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But we need to figure out how to rate them," The instructors shook their heads.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I have a way to test all of them," Everyone turned to Cadmus, who had a devious expression. What is this person nning to do?! It was something they were scared about.
