[OP: ]

Eva's demonstration was simple, she just did what she usually does and showed them how a swordplay that was meant to cover a very large area works.

Starting with a certain position, she used her absurdly high mobility to move to entirely different positions, and when she reached the end of her moving path, the place where a wooden training dummy was situated, she used the force she had gathered while moving at the edge of her sword, infused her Mana and without using any other skill, she slashed the dummy, and moved to another location.

It was simple sounding, and very easy to understand verbally, however, all this had happened in the blink of an eye, so quickly that some of the people who weren't paying attention to her didn't even catch what was going on.

And, then Eva moved away to a different target dummy some distance away from the last one in the same lightning-fast manner, slashing the dummy with the newly generated force.

It was unbelievable from the spectator's perspective. Calling it just absurd wouldn't be wrong either.

The way she was moving, the speed, the way there were no sounds to her movements as if she were a trained assassin, and how she was practically teleporting from one place to another, causing the sturdy training dummies which can endure even the attacks of high level physical offensive skills, to be cut in half by that great 'generated' force.

She was cutting the dummies that they couldn't even put a scratch on. Of course the looks they all had were absurd.

Still, that wasn't the end.

The experienced ones among the servants, people like Sir Fang, the personal assistant of crown prince Morexis, and Lady Alquea, Princess Catherein's nanny, could definitely see something more than what most of the people were seeing.

They could, first of all, see all of her movements. They could tell just how she was generating enough force to destroy those strong training dummies. And, second of all, they could see the absence of hesitation and useless movements, a perfect use of the talented body she was born with, and a kind of judgment and sense that you can't get from some kind of indoor training.

They could see the movements she was performing were so precise they seemed to be deeply rooted in her soul itself. But, they weren't rigid.

The core of her sword style was flexibility and mobility. She could move so quickly because she was able to cancel out every useless movement and focus solely on her desired goal. And, she possessed real-life battle experience, the experience of death, something not just anyone can get even after devoting their entire lives, so they could tell she knew just a single type of movement wouldn't work in an actual fight.

She was reacting to all the changes happening in her surroundings, she was perceiving everything that was happening around them, and her field of view was naturally so great that she didn't even have to use any skill to enhance it, but, if one checked, she possessed a skill that can allow her to widen this already big perception range.

Her swordart was control and domination type, that much Sir Fang had already figured out. And he was impressed after a long time by this unique performance.

He could tell she wasn't at a level most of the weapon-wielding people here were. He could tell that it hadn't been long since she had mastered this unique sword style of hers. He could tell whoever taught her, was a master of the sword themselves. And he could tell despite her unique abilities, she was a simple and nice person that would be helpful to him and his master in the future.

He had to make a connection with her in this very place, that were his thoughts, and similar were the thoughts of many people present in this place.

But the person who had earned the attention of so many people, Eva herself, had no idea what was going on around her when she finished her demonstration and stood there, confused by the reactions of everyone around her.

It was even worse than when she finished making her cookies, something made from techniques that were still not famous in this world.

Her cookies and milk could be considered top-class stuff that only some royals could eat in their everyday lives. For people that clearly weren't of higher class, just the scent of these cookies was mind-blowing, something they just knew was a delicacy they wouldn't be able to eat every day.

She will have her share of praises when this 'moment of shock' passes, and the first ones to praise her would be the three cute cats… who were commonly known as <Three tyrant generals of calamity> in the outside world.

It will happen but it will take a while for everyone's shock to subside. And then they will do a simple question and answer test as their second test, and after that, an energy beast handling test.

So, there were more things for them to be surprised by. Eva was those two's students after all, she was far better than she knew herself.

But this was their first test which was still ongoing, while on the other hand, everyone who had pressed the button to get transported to the practical test area were all appearing in a new, dark cave-like place with only a little light on the point they had appeared in.

That was the starting point of their second test and every single person had appeared in a unique place.

The students would either have to survive in this place for six days, or they would have to find the unique points where the instructors waited for them and show their skills to them, to get out of that place.

It was a fun place full of monsters that the students could handle on their own and there were things all around them that they could use to survive in this place for.

Time flowed differently there so their six days would be six hours for the people in this garden. And since it was so extreme, no one was allowed to talk about this test outside of the academy.

Their mouths were either sealed with various means or their memories were erased completely… which could be considered a harsh measure but from the perspective of the headmaster, it was nothing great.

Academy was his territory. Whatever came in and came out of this place would first have to go under his gaze, take his permission, and follow his rules.

He was a strict, solid, and cold person like a stone wall… or at least that's how the world perceived him.

For the rare few who knew him closely, he was just like any normal person. Wise and powerful, smart and knowledgeable, simple yet someone with a uniqueness of his own.

He was a part of his original body, one of the countless ones that managed all the great academics in this Worldline. But even that much made him an existence far greater than anything in this world.

He was a unique being, and he was watching as the students started the second part of their tests, as well as how a few certain people who had understood the meaning of the test were trying some funny things.

He was interested in a few, but still, two stood out from every one of them trying to get into his academy this year.

They were strange, they were special, they were different… but if they were going to get into his academy, they would be nothing more than any other student.

Just like everyone else, they would be equal students to the others.

It would remain a fact… a fact that would mean nothing after a certain point.

Equality was an illusion of the world anyway. Even the worldline had ranks, what chance did this mere school of a small planet have?

There would inevitably be differences, ranks, and hierarchies…

But for now, he was watching as everyone including those special two had started the exploration of this new dark place. And, he was looking forward to seeing what these people even his great mother found interesting would show him today.

"Auriel and Lucifer…"

And he was already smiling at them so the plan that those two had in mind, had already begun on this end.
