Addiction

[You have completed the [Illusionary Mist Trial] Congratulations.]

With pain dissipating completely from his body, he felt as if he was being sucked into an unstoppable tornado.

Letting himself be sucked by the unfettered force, he felt sensation once again.

Snapping his eyelids open, he saw many students alongside him, however, they were all asleep.

Standing, he noticed a purple robed individual, with mana constantly exuding out of his body.

Alongside the tall, brown-haired middle-aged man in purple robes, was a blonde-haired, purple robed, short individual.

Unlike the first person he saw, this one was merely surveying the area, boredly, in fact.

Noticing him, his eyes narrowed, shaking his head.

'He finished so quickly. He must've gotten a bad score.'

Beckoning Isaac to come, and once Isaac neared him, he said,

"Head towards the room over there." Pointing, he directed Isaac. "There, they'll tell you if have passed or not."

Looking at him, he continued, "Worry not, you don't need to complete the trial fully to pass."

Hearing his words, he muttered a quick thanks, heading towards he was guided to.

Opening the luxurious silver doors, he was given view to an even more royal looking room. Painted in complete white, with golden lining over the walls, it was as if the room was untainted by any outside force.

As if expecting him, three ladies in the center of the room greeted him, "Hello!"

The ladies, with children-like excitement, called out to him.

In sync, they continued, "Please come and place your watch on this surface."

Following their words, Isaac unstrapped his watch, neatly placing it on the surface of a silver pillar.

With mana channeling around the watch, numbers appeared above, "100."

Flabbergasted, the three ladies stood rooted.

However, they each had one thought, 'How?!'

'Not only is the trial nearly impossible, but it also wasn't meant to even be cleared!'

Grabbing his watch as he saw the mana completely dissipate, he said, "What now?"

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Temporarily stopping their shock, they said, "S-sir, sit on that couch there."

Sitting on the couch, he slept.

He knew that he wasn't leaving anytime soon.

----

Seeing him sleep, the three triplets looked at each other, sharing the same thought.

'Should we report him to the principal?'

Normally, they would've, however, they had no idea when another person will arrive.

Nonetheless, contacting the principal isn't as simple as sending a message via the Skyland watch.

Waiting for a couple hours, they finally saw another individual. Seeing her vibrant blue hair, something that a royal house held, they treated her with respect.

"Miss, please place your watch here on this surface."

Following the triplets' words, she rested her watch on the silver pillar.

The vibrant mana reacted, and quickly, a number appeared atop the watch.

'89'

Once again, their mouths fell to the ground, not expecting another genius.

Completing the trial, which took at the very minimum 50%, the more talented ones usually landed between 60-70.

However, the first two, was already way above that threshold.

Afterwards, they also guided her towards the couches in the right side of the room.

Finally noticing the man on the couch, who was sleeping no less, she was surprised another was ahead of her.

Not wanting to be so close, she sat directly across from him.

Studying his face, she had no doubt that he was handsome.

However, not wanting to be rude, she moved her eyes away from him.

However, after a few minutes, she found herself bored, and so, she, just like him, closed her eyes, peacefully.

----

Waking up, this time, not from anyone or anything, but of mere conscious. Feeling refreshed, he saw many people lined up, not only that, but some were also sitting, leaning, on the wall.

However, none of them sat on the couch next to him.

Regardless, there was one.

A blue haired lady was awake, also staring at him, curious about him.

'No doubt, she's beautiful, even in this world's standards.'

With a beauty rivaling his masters, he still showed no reaction.

Instead, with a bored expression showing on his face, he was annoyed the little checking process wasn't finished yet.

With his fist holding his face from falling sideways, he rested, calmly looking at the people near him, and then the lady in front of him.

Before he could even turn his head, not wanting to stare, the impatient lady called out, "Hmm? Is something wrong with my face?"

Hearing her words, he smiled, "Of course not, it's just hard to ignore your face." replying back, he awaited her reaction.

'Is she another stuck up noble?'

"Well, that is something I can agree on." She smiled back, returning the favor.

Smiling at each other, the mood eased up a little.

"May I have the pleasure of knowing your name, madam?" Replying courteously, his smile continued etching across his face.

"Alice, you?"

"Isaac."

Before their conversation could continue further, the principal appeared.

"Thank you everyone for participating and making it this far."

Stretching his hand out, he called, "With this, you are all students of my Cypress Academy."

Immediately, a medallion appeared before every student, although the watch could do a lot, there were already many prototypes released to the world, and they couldn't waste so much time analyzing every watch, seeing if their authentic or not.

So, essentially, the medallion was their way of access to the Academy.

With their medallion given, they were teleported by him once again.

Back to the center of the city, he called to them, "Please head towards the Academy and show them your medallion to enter in a day."

Seeing the familiar location, he was undisturbed, looking for the lady he saw earlier.

He wasn't looking for a relationship, however, to say he wasn't attracted to her was a complete lie.

First, he'd see how it went, however, he mainly wanted to see her because...

The same feeling that he felt when he arrived at that village.

It was a primordial feeling, it was addicting, even.

Seeing her familiar blue hair, he saw her already looking at him.

Again, at the sight of her, the feeling resurged, and instinctively, he smiled.
