The world before them was simply too magnificent to ignore.
"This view is so spectacular" Cinister said
"Yeah it does look quite marvelous" Ragna remarked as he stood up on his own
"It sure is but we need to get going because Yoake is probably already at the Academy" Alya said as she also got up
"Good plan" Cinister replied as all of the Fangra went towards the Academy
While the three of them were leaving, Allen, Choi and Scrappy had just arrived at the entry point of the 26th floor, in the room with the magical orb which lit up the whole chamber with its delicate soft blue glow. At the other side Allen, Choi and Scrappy got to the floor with the magical orb to assess their power
"Oh, this is an assessment floor" Allen said as he relaxed against the wall
"What kind of floor?" Choi asked as he shook his head
"To put it simply it is a compartment of a floor that assesses your power level and strength. Also if you use a skill the result will coincide with the power of the ability, essentially granting you a higher score. As you probably guessed you have to get a certain amount as a minimum to be allowed into the next floor so i would suggest for you two to use your strongest abilities as y'all are pretty weak." he explained more
"Impressive, hero, I must applaud your intellect" Marilin said as she appeared out of nowhere
"Marilin, long time no see" Allen said as he got up from the wall
"Yeah, you too Allen but come on why are you here again?" she asked
"You've been here before?" Scrappy asked as he looked at the redhead in confusion
"Yeah I've cleared the tower to floor eighty" Allen replied
"Eightyy!?" Choi chimed in with a shocked voice
"Yeah but let's not focus on it and just hit the orb so that we can go to the Academy" Allen focused on the mission on hand
"Fine but floor eighty is criminal" Scrappy said
"Ok let's try this thing out!" Scrappy exclaimed as he used [1000 snowflakes] to slice the orb to shreds but instead the circular object just displayed a number while fully intact:
Score: 45,000
"Damn I see a lot of young talent nowadays" Marilin said as she wrote in her notebook
"Guess I'm next huh" Choi said but then he thought to himself "I never questioned Allen before but I'm starting to get suspicious of him like his past on being a hero and him teaming up with us just doesn't add up with the Allen we saw at the hide and seek think so bit by bit I'm starting to worry about him"
Then Choi stepped up to the orb and decided to use first [Grounding Maelstrom] in hopes to amplify boost the power of his next attack via the immense atmospheric pressure after that he used [Windblades] to strike the orb with a decent amount of force
Score: 30,000
"Not bad I guess" Choi said
Then a massive amount of aura came behind Choi as a gentle tap on his shoulder
"I think It's my turn" Allen said as he pushed Choi a bit to the left
Then swords with all the Nexus Aqualith, SwiftGale, Cryoshard, Ignivar, Voltbrand and Dustbreaker appeared around the orb. The blades bolted and in the next moment sliced and the orb shattered into pieces.
Score: 9,999,999,999
Everyone in the room stopped moving, every muscle in their bodies stopped working entirely.
THUD
Everyone fell on their knees from the pressure of the attack
"What the!" Choi yelled as he barely stood on his knees
"This pressure it's way too much!" Marilin yelled out as she used her sniper to stand up
While Scrappy face planted on the floor
"And that's how you get it done" Allen said as he put back his sword and the other blades floated behind his back
"Done!? You almost killed us" Scrappy yelled out as he used one of his hands to stand up
"Come on it's just a bit of pressure it won't kill you" Allen replied "Probably"
"Jeez well all of you pass so you can proceed to the Academy floor" Marilin said in a hurry to try to find a way to fix the orb
We return to the Fangra who finally made their way to the Academy
It was like something out of a movie.
A tall royal-like building with endless decoration and endless possibilities. It was 1,327 acres with training facilities, food court, knights protecting the walls of the Academy
The atmosphere felt like a guardian angel was protecting this place
Students everywhere were enjoying their life at the Academy.
Some of them were eating.
Others were training with teachers as supervisors
"I can't wait to finally get in and find out how to get the [Sword of Devotion]" Ragna jumped up and down in happiness
"Calm down everything can happen plus Xander said that there's students who are much better than me and you" Cinister replied trying to reality check Ragna
"Hey don't forget about me" Alya said as she started lightly hitting Cinister's back
"Yeah sorry" Cinister responded with a light smile
"Well let's go to the entrance" Ragna chimed in
The Fangra made their way towards the big entrance of the wall. There they saw two heavily armoured gatekeepers protecting the gate
"Excuse me? Can we get in the Academy" Cinister asked as he went closer to them
"Can I see your adventure cards, please?" One of the guards asked
"Sure" Ragna said as all three gave their adventure cards

"Impressive but you guys can't enter yet" The guards replied with a cold tone
"What do you mean, we have enough score!" Cinister replied as he lit his fist on fire
"I'm sorry but you guys have to wait at least 3 days until you can enter the Academy" The Knight replied
