The monitor room was utterly silent.

  On the screen, Keal stood amidst the carnage and dead body of the monsters, his uniform was a bit torn with some blood on it. But just then the dead body monsters and dripping blood on the staff disappear like holograms.

  Keal realized all those monsters were not real because this was just a simulation made by the academy. He was a bit sad because he was hungry after all that fight. He was planning to cook them.

  He now has to ditch off to somewhere else to find food after all this exam lasts for 24 hours so there must be some food in this forest.

  …

  The professors were silent. The students they thought were losing a few minutes ago just killed over eight low rank monsters and a first rank monster.

  The most shocking professors were Lisa and Selene. They have met Keal it was only a few two or three time but Keal seem like a gentle and polite child to them so for them seeing Keal personality turn 90° was a bit concerning to them because during the time Keal was beating the horn rabbits he has a sadistic smile on his face, not to mention the fact he try to cook and eat the monster like no big deal which commonly known that a monster meat is poison if one don't purifies them.

  It was Voss who finally broke the silence. "That child killed eight horn rabbits and an electric horn rabbit with a staff."

  Selene adjusts her glass. "Although horn rabbits know to hunt in groups, their strength is not strong even for a first rank horn rabbit if one vs one so it is not surprising for an Apprentice rank student to kill a first rank."

  "But for him to kill a group of them alone as Appropriate rank is a different story because horn rabbits are highly intelligent. That is why they could hunt it even harder if they have a first rank monster leading them so that means student Keal has very high stats in strength to beat them with the staff to death."

  Selene finishes her sentence as she pulls up Keal info to see and show other professors. "And he must have very high mana too to keep using healing because his info students file say his healing ability uses mana as fuel and not a mental strength."

  Skye looks at the Keal file a bit before turning to Arlen. "Professor Arlen, you are responsible for the training room right? Do you see that child do any extreme training to get high strength."

  Arlen shakes his head. "No, in fact I only see him doing the basic exercises like running, push ups etc."

  Voss' expression turned serious. "Then that means that student has very high stats to begin with or he is actually a spy from the demons."

  The mentions of spies mean that all the professors in the monitor room turn serious but Lisa calms them and defense Keal.

  "Don't worry, about that during the Awakening exam me and the principal personally saw his awakening so there was no sign of dark energy on him and his background was also clean. He used to work in a small magic shop but that it."

  The principal nod and confirm Lisa word all the professors signs in relief about Keal before the principal said.

  "It's been a while since we have such a promising student so keep a close eye on that child. If he shows any other surprise we will put in him the first class group if not then the second class group."

  All the professors nodded at the principal word. The principal looked at each of the professors.

  "Speaking of the demon's spy, switch the screen to the student council to see how they are doing right now."

  "It seems they are doing fine." The principal said that as the screen changes to a group of older students who are fighting and catching who used to be the first years students but they still have dark magic on them.

  The University finds out the demons were trying to plant a spy in the students during the Awakening events from their sauce intellect.

  They plan to find out them a.k.a the same device that used to detect Keal ability was also a dark energy detector. That is why someone as important and powerful was seeing the Awakening events personally.

  Of course the University is not unreasonable there. In some cases a person who has dark energy because they have been experimented on or because of their parents so the ten days rest was to spy on those students to see if they are really a spy form the demons or just children who need help.

  If they are spies the University will catch them and interrogate them but if they are just children who need help the academy will do everything in their power to help.

  …

  Back to the forest.

  Unnoticed by the professors and principal in the monitor.

  Keal was sitting under a tree next to a weird looking big bush trying to wait until his mana got back on while eating a bunch of green apples he found.

  The reason why Keal was confident to fight the horn rabbits was because there the first horn rabbit kicked him. He realizes it doesn't hurt much because even though his third ability was useless it gives Keal 4 points in strength and wisdom while the rest all plus 2 which are a bit less than when he unlocked his second ability.

  But all of his stats are already in the first level rank while still in the Appreciate level rank. The only hard enemy was the electric horn rabbit that why Keal ignored the other horn rabbits just to finish that one first.

  "Hey bro, what's yo-"

  As Keal was resting suddenly a person face appears form the other side of the bushes which freak Keal out. Keal immediately punch the face before realizing it was Oilver face but he can't stop his hand as it hit Oilver in the face breaking his nose this time. Oilver holds his face in pain.

  'Deja vu.'

  Keal looks confused a bit before it turns into panic and immediately heals because his strength is already surpassing the Appreciate rank. It would be bad for Oilver if he gets a serious injury.

  "Oilver, Are you good? you need to stop surprise me like that, man."

  Oilver feeling better now that his face his heal thanks to Keal. "Damn Keal, how high is your strength?"

  "It's 9 right now." Keal lies and tries to change the subject. "Did you also teleport here?And what the heck are you doing inside the bush?."

  "Yes I get teleported here and I am hiding inside the bush that I make." Oilver answered.

  "Wait hold on you make that. I am surprised that the academy allows this." Keal asks, looking the bush up and down.

  "Pretty cool huh, but enough about me, what about you? What are you doing?" Oilver asks.

  "Oh I just rested after a fight." Keal took a bite at the apple which Oilver immediately smacked the apple out of Keal 's hand. "Dude, what the fuck was that for?"

  Keal looks at Oilver angrily before Oilver raises up his hand. "Bro, calm down. I was trying to save your life because the apple was poisonous."

  "Yes, I know it's poison, that's why I eat it." Said Keal while picking up another apple.

  "What???" Oilver look Keal try understand did he heard his friends right.

  Keal explains to Oilver when he was eating the mana stone it did poison but he uses healing ability like Oilver told him but during that time Keal learns a skill poison resistant (1).

  That's why he tries to eat the poison apple to get his poison resistance up and if it gets too dangerous he can just use his healing ability.

  "Is that how it work? I never thought of that. Can I try it?" Oilver asks as Keal toss him an apple which Oilver take a bite the taste was very sour and wrongs.

  After Oilver finish the whole apple he feel something wrong with his stomach like a pain lanced though it but Keal put his hand on Oilver shoulder and use heal on Oilver which make the pain go away.

  Oilver call on his stats window then looks at his skill and it work he also has an poison resistant (1).

  Oilver smile excitedly before look at Keal. "Damn Keal, it really work maybe this is why those people with healing ability keep eating stuff."

  Oilver join Keal in eating the poison apple before Keal ask if he has another of those bush suit.

  Oilver take out another bush suit form his bag and hand it over to Keal take the suit wearing it. As the two friend start hiding in the hand made bush waiting for the exam to be over while eating the poison apple.
