Following the stream, Mark was able to feel a lot of eyes on him. Mostly they came from the inhabitants of this world. And they were not positive. Someone looked at him with apprehension, while others wanted to test the person with interest.

But the most interesting thing was for the people who were in the stream. They tried to keep a detached eye on each of their kind. Assessing everyone as a competitor. It was very weak, but every man was ready to fight at any moment.

And this was not surprising, in the first month about 40% of people died, and according to rough estimates, this is just over two million. This could not be missed on behalf of other people. As a result, the fittest survived, or simply those who were able to find a safe place of temporary residence in time, like Mark.

Thinking about all this, he noticed that the stream in which he was moving finally stopped. Standing on his toes, he noticed that ahead was a large open area where an old man with gray hair braided was standing. His skin was gray and his ears were pointed. When he opened his mouth, you could immediately tell that he was a vampire.

But the fact that it was now daylight spoke volumes. Since vampires with a weak bloodline could not stand the light. But vampires with a high bloodline, or even a fraction of an ancient bloodline, could ignore the sun. For them, it was only slightly stronger than normal.

– Greetings to all, I am Kan Samar, rector of the Academy. You who came were able to overcome fears and insecurities. As it was said, the first test will be held today. From him will decide whether you will pass in the second round.

- Everything is extremely simple, the stone that stands behind me is your test. Approaching him, put your hand on the claw mark on the stone. If it lights up you're through. But I advise you to try, because the result will also break you into classes, and you will have to obey the internal hierarchy, depending on your talent.

The wealthy generation began to approach first, each of them laying down his hand and showing different faces. Someone, unable to stand it, began to swear, but was stopped by a stern look, others simply obediently walked to the ranks of the past, but there was no happiness in their faces, because even though the stone lit up from their touch, no one's talent indicator was higher than four. This was especially strong in their pride, since childhood, each of them was the center of the universe and was worn on their hands, and what was now hit them harder than any blow.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Having finished with the rich, they began a less wealthy society, although none of them had a golden spoon in their ass, it was more noticeable from them that their quality was a step higher.

While everyone was waiting in line, Mark decided to test the eyes of a higher person, at the moment his pupils changed. As he watched, he sensed a strange haze that was invisible to the ordinary eye.

Looking over, he found a strange girl with a horn on her forehead. She had chocolate skin and black hair, her horn was also black. Feeling the gaze, she turned to the man, surprised for a moment, but it did not pass more than a second, where after that she smiled, nodded and turned away.

Because of the haze, Mark couldn't read almost anything except her rank and age. She was surprisingly fourth rank and she was only fifteen years old. What can be considered a genius, because usually the inhabitants of all worlds start no earlier than ten years old, and later. After all, if an unformed body receives damage from development along the path of a magician, this can become fixed and the consequences will be unpredictable.

And usually you can start from the age of ten, since the manno that is in the air passively accelerates the growing up of children. And this is from race to race.

Finally, when a girl came up.

- Name? The rector asked once again, with a slightly lazy goal.

- Reina Tsuchikudou.

- Put your hand on the stone.

After doing this, the stone lit up with a dark light, and ten black candles appeared around the stone, which suppressed the light in the area. This made a noise, the rector himself nodded to the girl, showing a satisfactory smile, waving her to stand where the rest who passed.

Surprisingly, Seno came out next. She boldly approached the stone and touched it. As expected, the stone began to illuminate everyone with an earthy color, and nine candles lit up around it, giving a soothing feeling.

The noise was raised again, and this time more. Since no one expected that a person could surpass the inhabitants of this world.

Time passed and during this time the number of talented individuals appeared quite a few. Among them, people occupied about 30%, but no one could rise above eight candles.

Finally it was Mark's turn. As he approached the stone, he felt a sharp glare from Tsuchikado's Reiki. There was intense curiosity in her eyes. That could not hide the crowd in which she hid.

- Name?

- Mark Plan.

- Hand on stone.

Touching the stone, he not only caught fire in a scarlet color, but also began to immerse everyone in a suffocating feeling of slaughter. The smell of blood began to hover everywhere. And weaklings who just woke up before reaching the first rank lost consciousness.

Ten candles were lit around the stone, all of them glowing scarlet in an attractive color.

Haha ha. The rector laughed.

You can go, he said.
