Read World of Evolution :: Army trainee's graduation test Part 4

The cheif thanks Ren and sends him away.

Returning to his team they welcome him back before heading outside the wall again, this time planning on gathering resources like metals, wood, plant textiles and wild plants.

They arrive at the edge of a dense forest, Nadia turns to Ren to explain the forest area, "This is the forest of Lith. Many poisonous monsters live in this forest, but they are easily handeled by even Trainee's but one bite could kill so you still need to be careful. The forest is full of materials used to boost one's strength, from fruits and herbs to gemstones and rare metals. Everything in here is valuble to the point where one sucessful trip can make you a years salary."

After Ren understands the forest more he draws his dagger and walks into the forest. Deciding to split up they all cover diffrent areas of the forest, Ren staying with Nadia. Sticking to the more peacful areas Ren and Nadia carefully harvests Blood herbs and Spirit fruits. After an hour they had nearly collected 50 of each before heading back to the meet up point.

As they leave the area Ren hears a buzzing sound from behind, in a matter of seconds the air around Ren and Nadia fills with Poison Dart Hornets, each one the size of Ren's hand. From what Ren can see with his crystal eye is their speed in increadibly fast but their other stats are not even higher than level 3, what concerns Ren most is they carry rare level poison which has a paralisis effect.

Its not long till Ren's crystal eye becomes scorching hot and before he can react a stabbing pain blasts through his back as a throbbing pain develops and slowly spreads through out his body. As he falls to the ground in pain he sees "+1000 Blood Energy EXP", "+2% Poison resistance", "+5% Paralysis Resistance" and "Improved Natural healing has leveled up to level 8"

After Ren faints, Nadia carries him with the help of the resto of the team back to the town bringing him to hospital for immeadiate treatment.

Ren wakes up in the hospital again, this time feeling stronger than before, next to him is a basket with a few Spirit fruits and blood herbs. Infront of the basket is a not saying "Get well soon. Love Dad." He picks up one of the fruits to eat, carefully pealing the skin and slowly eating it, each bite filling his mouth with a burst of flavour. After eating the fruit he sees "+10000 Spiritual energy EXP", He then eats some of the Blood herbs quickly feeling a farmiliar burning sensation fill his body before he sees "+500 Blood energy EXP" every second for a full two minutes. Seeing the substancial increase in EXP he eats the remaining two spirit fruits and the last blood herb, gaining him 20000 Spiritual energy EXP and 60000 Blood energy EXP. After feeling better and talking with the doctors he returned home.

After returning home Ren's dad greeted him with a seriour face before saying "Young Ren, you have been invited to the Army Trainee's graduation test tomorrow. You will need to arrive at the army base by sunrise with everything you need for the next three days. Do your best and remember that to graduate you need to score higher than 999." After saying this he walks away.

Ren nervous about the test tomorrow decides to enchant the cloak he got on his first day.

"Do you want to enchant the Rock Elephant Cloak? Yes or No" YES

"How much spirit do you want to use?" 110

"Select enchantments wanted."
He swiftly selected Speed boost 1, Spirit Boost 1 and Auto-Healing 1.

Ren excited at how much he has grown and improved he quickly heads to bed so he can make it to the army base by sunrise.

Sunrise comes arround as Ren enters the Army base, he heads into the ampitheater where over 100 trainee's are gathered all of them between the ages of 10 to 12. As he walks through to the area almost everyone looks towards him some whispering "Who is he?" or "Why did they let a baby in here?"

Ren looked down at the ground with a small smile glad that everyone will underestimate him. He takes his seat and before long the cheif comes out and explains the test for today. Its a written exam to pass this and make it to the next test you must score minimum 60%, person with the highest percentage will get 1000 points, which guarentees their graduation, second highest percentage will get 500 points and third highest will get 100 points. The cheif then quickly takes everyone to a large room lined with desks. Everyone takes their seat and quickly gets to work.

Ren looks at the first page and sees its basically basic math and english. Easily a peice of cake for him.

In an hour many people started handing in their tests. Once everyone handed theirs in they are taken back outside to wait. Half an hour later the cheif comes out and places the tests in a pile for everyone to collect and tells everyone to leave now if they have less than 60%.

In minutes the crowd of trainee's that filled the area nearly halved in size leaving about 50 people left, when Ren collected his page he was suprised to recieve a score of 89%, unkown if he was in the top three he quickly got nervous.

The cheif then settles everyone down and soon explains the next test. "The next test is a practical combat test between you and one of our captured monsters. Those that are hospitalised in the first minute will fail immeadiatly. those who have the highest speed, damage output or defence will recieve 500 points. The order of which you'll go will be on the board infront of you. Meet us at the colloseum in an hour." The cheif leaves revealing a board with everyones name on it, Ren is going last
