Chapter 168 The Third test.

Hotel Devalya, Meeting Room.

Usually, this meeting room is used by the shareholders and the owner of the hotel, but today the whole meeting room was occupied by the students of the academy and Raji was sitting at the hotel owner's seat too.

Meanwhile, all the staff members were guarding the door outside as if they were thrown out by Raji from the room in the middle of a meeting.

Although this scene was quite strange, but no one had the courage to question the decisions of an SS-ranker. Thus, they just went with the flow and didn't even raise any objections.

...

Inside the meeting room.

Link glanced at Riya sitting beside him and secretly handed her some candies as she was looking quite bored.

But obviously, Raji could easily see through these little movements.

"Ahem, Link don't feed her all the time, you have spoiled her too much... If you keep spoiling her like that, she will get as fat as a pig..." (Raji)

Hearing Raji's words, Link smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his neck as he was embarrassed at being caught red-handed.

Riya puffed up her cheeks as she was angry at being compared to a fat pig.

"I am not smelly like a pig!" (Riya)

At Riya's tantrum, Raji squinted her eyebrows and replied: nove(l)bi(n.)com

"That's your main concern?...sigh~..." (Raji)

Looking at Riya's pouting face caused Link's heart to jump up and down like a deer.

*Clank*

The metallic door opened automatically, and Rio and Lia both walked in together while holding hands like a lovey-dovey couple.

Their 'handholding' made everyone in the room feel awkward.

Riya was sitting on Link's left side, and Rio sat on the right with Lia on his right too.

Rio and Lia were the last group to arrive, everyone else had already arrived a few seconds ago.

Once everyone had finally gathered, Raji glanced at them all and nodded her head.

"Good, Now that everyone is here, let me start then..." (Raji)

Raji brought out a 'small hologram-generating device' from her space ring and put it on the table. She clicked the buttons on it and the hologram appeared in the air.

It showcased a 3d map of the human empire.

Without delay, Raji zoomed at the southern area, and the port city 'Oaklum' came into everyone's view.

After adjusting the map, Raji pointed at the city and started explaining.

"As you guys must have learned in the 'geography' classes, this is the port city 'Oaklum', nearly 80 percent of the trade routes that lead to major ports all over the world, go through this place..." (Raji)

"Rich in marine life, the ocean nearby is filled with natural resources like oil, gases, and various rare materials...." (Raji)

"This place is like a trading hub, thousands of industries are located here and nearly all the trade that our human empire does with other races goes through this city too..." (Raji)

"Aside from that, I have one more thing to say... two third-

year students will also take part in this mission..." (Raji)

Hearing Raji's sudden declaration, everyone was quite surprised. They all thought that there would be no more candidates appearing now that two tests were already done and dusted.

Raji glanced at Fade for a second before continuing.

"Due to the very underwhelming performance of student Fade, I have decided that we need more candidates to enter this test..." (Raji)

"There will be a total of nine candidates now, after adding the two third-year students... also don't worry about their strength, they are one year older than you guys and are one of the few most talented students too..." (Raji)

"Both are rank A individuals... Except for student Fade, all the other six of you have already passed at least one test by now, so your position is safe..." (Raji)

Hearing Raji's harsh words, Fade felt like he was being humiliated in public. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look Raji in the eyes.

Seeing Fade's deflated confidence, Raji stared at him with narrowed eyes and said in a cold tone:

"Student Fade, if any one of those two students performs better than you in this final test, you will be disqualified and your position will be given to the other party..." (Raji)

"So make sure you don't end up having regrets later, I have already warned you... it's up to you now if you want to improve or not..." (Raji)

Although Raji really wanted to eliminate Fade from this test on the spot, but she was an SS-ranker and she had to follow the rules otherwise she would set up a bad example for others.

The rules said that only those who failed in all three tests would be disqualified, and no one is allowed to stop a candidate from taking the test. Due to this reason, Fade still had one more chance left now.

If Fade performs better than the two third-year students, he can maintain his position and go to the meeting as previously planned but if can't even pass one test out of the three, then there is really no need to send him to the meeting of gods.

'In my opinion, even if he passes the test, it is quite unfit for a person like Fade to go, the reason being he has a weak mentality and he can't think straight in life-threatening situation...' (Raji)

Although no individual is so perfect that they can stay calm at their own death, with great strength you can always keep your emotions in check.

Fade was at rank B and he still couldn't keep his head calm, even with all this strength coursing through his body, which was already a very bad situation.

(Obviously, Raji is being quite strict with the standards, everyone is not emotionless like Rio, and it is obvious that a normal person will panic in a despair-filled situation...)

(But this strictness was important too, she didn't want to see the human race being looked down upon by others... thus she wasn't lenient at all...)

With a cold look in her eyes, Raji glared at Fade.

"This is your last chance to prove yourself worthy, student Fade..." (Raji)
