[Examinees of Batch No.4568, please be ready. The exam will start in five minutes.]
An announcement rang after the previous exam ended. All the students had left. And the hall was filled with the students of the last batch.
Students murmuring among themselves. Nervousness and excitement at its peak.
Alex and the girls just sat there. Waiting for the exam to start. Saika was quite for a while. Probably ran out of stuff to talk about. She looked around curiously.
All the main cats have arrived. Except the protagonist since he was supposed to be a special admission student.
And Alex wasn't bothered enough to pay attention to anyone else. They were too lame. And pathetic to be honest.
[The Exam will start shortly. Please prepare yourselves for Spatial Transfer.]

[The Transfer Starts Now.]
The moment the countdown ended, countless transparent pillars of lights descended from above. Enveloping everyone before teleporting them away.

Alex opened his eyes inside an small opening of a dense forest. The air was thick with the damp smell of forest. Birds chirping and animals howling in the distance.
Green Mountains in the distance that pierced the clouds.
"Truly marvelous..."
Alex couldn't help but marvel the beauty of nature. This kind of sight was rare back on his Earth. Everything had been industrialised. No place were left where man made things couldn't be found.
A place untouched by men was truly a rare sight for Alex.
'Maybe after graduation... or after I have lots of money. I will travel the world...'
Alex took a deep breath with a refreshed smile. The focused on the screen that had been I front of him for a while. He was just being a bitch and ignored it.
[Dear Examinee. The Combat Test runs for Three hours. During this time, you will have to earn points by killing monsters and other activities.
There are three types of points.
Kill Points: The point you get by Killing monsters or other Examinees.
Support Points: The point you get by providing support to fellow Examinees.
Rescue Points: The point you get by Rescuing a fellow Examinee.
There is a timer and after it hits zero, you will be teleported out.
Good luck]
'...'
"Welp, I can say bye bye to support points. Not happening, anything like providing support. But rescue... I will see if there is any situation like that."
Alex murmured as he read the instructions. Then closed the window and started walking towards the center of the Secret Realm.
From what he remembered of the anime and Aika told him, this was one of the many Secret Realms owned by the academy. And this place is Time Accelerated. So God knows how many years had passed here after the previous exam.
Alex wasn't bothered. He calmly walked. Enjoying the view. He saw few students battling and few monster passing by but he paid no fuck to them.
His target was the center, where the Undefeated Ruler of This Land slept.
This small Secret Realm was 166,784 km². So there was much to see.
Alex watched the waterfall and let his ears bask in the sound as he had his eyes closed to immerse himself.
He opened his eyes and saw the clear blue sky with white clouds. The sky looked so beautiful that made Alex want to live among it. But he snapped out of it and started taking the exam seriously.
[1:35:37]
There was only one hour left after all.
'Damn... I lost track of time...'
Alex the started to run. The forest blurred as he ran. He was running at moderate speed. Trying not to cause any environmental damage. And he was doing great!
The sound barrier haven't broken yet, nor has he left any devastation behind.
The reason Alex was targeting the Ruler of This Land land was simple as fuck. Because it will give him what he wants. Instant, Scott free, no argument placement to the No.1 of the new year students and full scholarship.
This wasn't something known to the world yet.
Why?
Because the Ruler of This Land is called Undefeated.
The only reason Alex knew was because someone had defeated it in the anime. That white haired vampire with the height of a dwarf.
'Yea... 6ft is short not gonna lie.'
There was nothing Alex could do, that's how biology worked. If someone was a dwarf, they NEEDS to be called a dwarf. There was no going around it. And as a blind follower of Law, Alex follows the rules like mandates.
Alex kept running until the distant sky was slightly turning red.
"Oof! I forgot that the Ruler of This Land was a Fire Dragon... Will my clothes hold? ... Let's trust the old man and..."
Alex was parkoring through the forest before the scenery abruptly changed. The green forest was replaced with black, burned trees of withered land. The sky was blood red with dark clouds. The heat of the land hit Alex's face, making him frown.
The heat kept increasing as he went deeper. The land became even more bizarre. Magma flowing like rivers, mountains erupting every now and then... all because a Fire Dragon lived here...
Alex did few long jumps over the magma rivers. The land here was fully black with cooled down magma. Alex looked at his shoes every few seconds to check if his it were burning or not.
To his relief, they weren't. So he focused his full attention on the massive black mountain range with lava flowing from its body like dripping water. Alex passed by few small hills then got the view of Fire Dragon for the first time. He stopped for a moment to admire the majestic Dragon.
"It looks even more awesome in real life..."
Alex felt as though the animators didn't do the Dragon enough justice. Only Its massive head was out from its cave.
It glowing red eyes and vertical pupils looking intense and awe inspiring, its black scales looked as if they could suck in light itself.
The Dragon was more than 1 km long and was an extremely powerful B-Rank monster of the Wrath Lineage.
Alex had always been a Dragon fanatic. So seeing a Dragon up close made his heart race and he raced forward as well.
He quickly crossed the lake of lave by casually running on it. Then arrived infront of the Dragons cave and found it having a staring contest with the same white haired dwarf he was thinking about.
Alex felt ignored and hurt.
"Get out of the way dwarf."
So he appeared behind the dwarf and aimed a kick towards his head. The dwarf didn't have time to react other than to turn his head slightly. He could only see a leg in coming before smashing into his face.
The kick connected, his face from below his nose caved in. Face deforming. The lower bones of his eye socket shattered and his eyes popped out before his whole body got lifted off of the ground and shot back like bullet.
...Fate.
Unknown.
But just a couple of seconds later, he got a notification. His kill Points increased!
[00:30:39]
[Score]
[Kill Points: 213,745,839]
[Support Points: 0]
[Rescue Points: 0]
"Wow! That guy killed a lot didn't he? What a genocidal bastard! Good thing I killed him! Imagine how may more monsters he was going to make an orpha-"
Before Alex could finish his 'INTENSE' Protagonist style monologue, the air shifted. The heat increased drastically. It became so hot that it seemed like the air itself was burning. Heatwaves twisting and desorting vision. Alex looked ahead at the cause of the phenomenon.
The Dragon had its massive jaw lose, orange red energy gathering at its mouth, turning the energy into a ball.
SWWWAAAaaaaaaaaa~~~~
A massive beam of energy shot forward from the Dragons mouth. Small shockwave happened around it as it broke sound barriers while travelling in a straight line. The beam hit a mountain with a wam, it paused for a moment. The mountain turned orange before getting swiped away by the beam.
The beam travelled far. Leaving behind a melted line of devastation. The air screamed around the line.
The Dragon chewed on the left over energy and shock it off by shaking its head. Then snorted. All smug like it had used a sledge hammer to kill an ant until and excited voice made it look down and pause.
Alex was standing in the same place. The beam had hit him in the face and he was really worried about his clothes. He couldn't be naked. That would be embarrassing.
But looking at his attire, it was completely fine!!
"Thank the old man!! LET'S GOO! I won't have to worry about my clothes and let lose a little!"
Alex said with a genuinely excited smile. He looked up to the Dragon and locked eyes, the dragon started a staring contest with Alex like it did with the dwarf.
But Alex wasn't a guy who had a lot of time!!
"Enough fooling around fatty! Let's fight! Your opponent is me!! And be honoured that you will be the reason I will get a full scholarship!"
Alex said as he pointed his index finger at the Dragon. The Dragon snorted and it started to get up. The whole mountain started to tremble like the tectonic plates were drunk. The Dragon stood up slowly and the mountain collapsed as a result. It spread its massive wings, blasting away the debris.
RROOOAaaaooOOooRRRrrrr!!!
The Dragon threw its head back and roared to the heavens. Its roar reverting through the whole Secret Realm. The Dragon looked down at Alex.
Both ready for their battle. A battle where only one of them can leave alive...
