Chapter 44 - 44: Infirmary

After sitting there and evaluating the performance of the temporary students, Theodore and his juniors came across a lot of talented youngsters belonging to families of different status that managed to score better than John.

"Congratulations on passing the second assessment! You've all been rewarded with contribution points equal to your result in this test. You won't be able to use them for now, but they will become useable after you become permanent students," Theodore said once all the students were done with the test of titan's strength. "As it is only a few hours away from midnight, the third and the fourth assessment will be held tomorrow. In the meantime, you can do anything you like. Rest if you want to or take a look around the majestical tower, it's all up to you!"

When the instructor of combat made his announcement, a lot of the examinees exhaled a sigh of relief, some sitting down on the ground with legs crossed, some leaning against the walls with eyes closed, some standing straight seemingly having no intention of resting as they find it beneath them to rest on the ground like the commoners.

"I got 10 contribution points but it's greyed out," a student said as his gaze curiously scrutinized the card held in his hands. "It's like the instructor said, we won't be able to use them until we become permanent students."

"Yeah, you are right. It's the same for us. We have the points but we can't use them."

"It kinda sucks."

The students talked with each other, as the instructors finished the fifth cup of coffee and placed the cup on the wooden table.

"Hey, instructor, can I get a room with a bed? I couldn't sleep a wink last night," a student with a bald head spoke in a rough manner that sounded unpleasant to the ears. His name was Geom 13th or just Geom. One could see an exhausted expression on his face as his legs were sprawled on the floor and his body supported by his arms.

Honestly, it wasn't just him that wanted to lay down on a bed and sleep, a lot of the students that have never once sat down on the ground in their entire life also wanted to get a room for themselves, but they didn't have an ounce of authority in this place and purchasing a room without the help of an authoritative figure impossible in the cloud tower.

Kayle stood up and walked to the front of the raised platform.

"A suite has been assigned to every one of you. The Droids holds the master cards. Get in line with the others or wait in your place to get the master card. Tomorrow, it will be the last day of the examination. You will all be called to gather here early in the morning. So, go and rest early."

Kayle stepped back once she made her announcement and instructor Theodore stepped forward.

"I advise you to not stay up late. Make sure to be in your best state, as your mental and physical health concerns both your placement in the next assessment and allocation of resources provided by the academy to the examinees according to their grades." Theodore gave hints about the upcoming test to the temporary students with a smile.

After he said those words, the instructors took the backdoor to teleport to their respective floors

"One thing is for sure, our mental strength will determine our grade in the next test. I'm looking forward to it," Varth Hollow thought with squinted eyes, as he stepped forward to get in line.

The students stepped out of the room after a while, one by one, by taking the rather large corridor. One could see that a card with cloudy patterns was held in their hands. Once they were in their respective room, they found out that a single room was shared between two examinees.

"Ah, well, whatever. Hey, I don't know who you are and I don't wanna know. If you want there to be peace then just don't disturb me. I only wanna sleep peacefully right now," Geom said to his roommate as he then laid down on the small, soft bed placed on the left side of the room and quickly entered the world of dreams. He was tired and needed to sleep urgently to recuperate his energy and spirit.

The students that shattered their bones were taken to the infirmary. It was located just around the right corner of the examination room. The students were examined by Jun Park–the student of instructor Kayle.

"Hmm, you are fine. However, try not to repeat such stunts in the future. Healing has a certain limit and a day might come when it becomes ineffective on your body. You can delay the inevitable by following what I say," Jun Park said to Nevis Truemight.

"I will do as you say. Thanks for everything that you have done for me," Nevis replied as he looked at Jun with eyes expressing gratitude.

This was one of those times that warms his heart, as well as makes him believe in humanity and love all over again. After all, there weren't a lot of people that showered him with kindness but there were a lot of people that showed the cruelty of the world and the monstrous side of humanity called hatred and jealousy.

"No problem. I was just doing my duty," Jun replied. "The next assessment will be held early in the morning. Until then, you can rest here."

"Thanks once again," Nevis said.

"Call me if you need anything," Jun said as he headed for the terrace. Once he was there, he lit up a cigar, inhaling the smoke with an expression of intoxication and cooly puffing rings of clouds.

A while later, Nevis looked around the room he was in while streaming the aftermath of the test to his viewers, and he saw two others in the room. Except for him, Vincent and John were also in the room, laying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
