God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

The golden rays of sunlight pierced through the window panes, and this time, before the system could scream into Nolan's head, his two eyes snapped open, emitting beautiful rays of crimson and blue light through the entire room.

"I hate your screams!" Nolan greeted the system, which laughed evilly in his head.

Immediately, Nolan rose, did his chores, and instantly went into the bathroom.

Less than 30 minutes had passed when he grabbed his bag and moved out.

Today was the last test, and Nolan felt his heart pumping within his chest.

It was due to two things: anxiety and fear.

He could finally guess what this test would be, and he knew well it wasn't his strength.

He was scared of failing it woefully, but he also felt anxious to quickly complete the last test and be done with this ascension.

The crippling tension he felt was enough to cause slight droplets of sweat to appear on his forehead.

He inhaled deeply and exhaled loudly, clearing away any troubling thoughts.

The last thing he wanted now was to be confused or have his tension heightened due to his own inner and unregulated emotions.

With a steely face, Nolan appeared before the Newcomers' Hall, where his name scan was marked, checking completely the three boxes and he enter the arena.

This time, the number of students was very low, showing that not many had decided to come early.

Nolan simply moved to the back seats, took his place, grabbed some notes, and reviewed all he had read.

Quickly, about an hour passed, with the Ascendants being a little late, but it was only more advantageous to Nolan, who devoured as much as he could while reminding himself of ideas he had forgotten.

Soon, an enigmatic aura appeared throughout the arena as the Ascendants all stepped forward.

Nolan closed his book, turning his gaze towards them calmly.

Yet, the pounding of his heart betrayed his emotions as slight sweat droplets slid down the back of his head.

"Congratulations to those of you who have been able to show up and pass the first and second phases of the ascension test. Now, is the time for the third phase of the test."

"Just like before, it will take place in a different pseudo-reality realm. I hope you all prepare your minds…"

The Ascendant said as he brought out another rubik's cube, just like the ones used for the previous tests.

Once more, he flung it towards the students, a blanket of white light spilling onto them as they slowly lost consciousness.

Quickly, the notification panel appeared before Nolan, and it surprised him a little when it informed him that the probability of the realm harming him was just 20% instead of the previous 50%.

Just like before, Nolan felt himself getting dragged into a different realm as his head also dropped unconscious to the side, a few seconds after the rest of the students.

The three Ascendants exchanged amusing looks.

"He seems to be a little resistant to the realm's effects."

"He's a weirdo."

"He's an anomaly."

The thoughts rang through their minds as they all sat on the podium, waiting for the result of the test.

Now a question ran through their heads:

"Would they have to wait, just like they had done for the past three days, or would Nolan come back quickly this time?"

The dragging force on him was twice lesser than what it usually was. Nolan felt his feet solidly grounded as he gently landed on the floor.

Rising to his feet, he found himself in a clean, unblemished hall, where stood a chair and nothing else.

[Take your place in the seat…]

The AI voice resounded as Nolan walked towards the cushioned chair and sat down on it.

Immediately, as he sat down, a set of blue screens appeared in front of Nolan's face.

His eyes furrowed before quickly regaining focus.

[Complete the questions.]

[A point will be deducted for every 10 minutes!]

[Test starts in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1! Go!]

Immediately, the order was given. Nolan's two hands moved forth, and he began tapping repeatedly on the keyboard.

Thankfully for him, the questions asked were objective, with three different answers for him to choose from.

Nolan could only thank his stars for that.

Quickly, he got to work, and once more, his intelligence stats showed its usefulness once more.

Nolan repeatedly remembered things he previously had forgotten, once he saw their objective answers.

A focused light flashed in his eyes as he tapped away.

The blue panel simply kept changing the longer Nolan tapped until he lost track of time.

His eyes remained unblinking!

There were some questions that Nolan had absolutely no idea how to answer, even after recalling the list.

They were on topics unfamiliar to him.

Instead of dwelling on them, Nolan simply skipped over them.

He knew well that a point would be deducted the longer he took in the test, and a second wasted was not something he could afford.

Time passed quickly until eventually, Nolan's eyes turned pitch red, and a blur of hands covered the blue screen.

His intelligence was pushed to its max, and he felt a deep, poundjn headache in his head as a line of tear slipped down his red eyes from his unwavering focus.

He typed and typed and typed until, eventually, there were no longer any questions to answer.

Nolan remained dazed where he sat, before finally, the blue panel showing the completed status appeared before his eyes, and he collapsed onto the seat.

[Notification rang out throughout the hall.]

[Congratulations, you have successfully completed the third phase of the test.]

[You answered 6,500 questions in the span of 3 hours!]

[You will now be teleported away from this realm.]

The notification rang out in Nolan's head, who smile in his tired and sweaty state, with a weary face.

"Finally!"

He had finally finished the Ascension test that weighed down so heavily on his mind.

Now he only needed to wait for the results...
