Chapter 83: Second simulation part VIII
The questions that followed were similar in structure but drawn from entirely different subjects.They were given a wind direction and asked to read a map. They were handed a set of poetry rules and told to write a verse that followed them. There was even a grammar test.Since Leo had learned this world's language as a complete outsider, the grammar test was the one section he couldn't get through, even with all his experience.Most of the children couldn't solve a single question. Some couldn't even manage to hold the pen properly.A handful of children worked through some of the easier early questions in a few of the subjects.One child, apart from Leo, managed to reach the second question in certain areas.Leo, for his part, solved every question in every subject except literature.His extraordinary performance caught even the commander's attention, and the man called Leo over to meet him personally.Leo could already guess what the next stage would bring. Unlike the others, he wou
Chapter 82: Second simulation part VII
[Initiating time-skip. 10%... 30%... 70%... Time-skip started] [Time-skip in progress... Time-skip successful] When Leo opened his eyes, he found all the remaining children waiting around him. As expected, not a single child had died from fear of the dark. The moment the supervisor opened his mouth, Leo realized he had been too optimistic. Before the supervisor could get a word out, one child burst into tears and said he wanted to quit. That single sobbing voice was the last bolt holding the dam in place. Within moments, Leo was watching nearly seventy percent of the children cry for what was likely the first time since they were one year old. A quick check of the time-skip summary told him that the children currently in tears hadn't actually found their way out of the labyrinth on their own. They had been pulled out through the supervisor's magic. Leo understood then that these children had gone through the kind of deep trauma that could leave them afraid of the dar
Chapter 81: Second simulation part VI
Among Leo's bewildered stares, complex runes spanning what looked like kilometers suddenly shimmered to life across the desert sand.It was the first moment Leo truly understood that this was a world where magic existed.Just seconds earlier, he had been walking behind the supervisor with a full stomach, just like the other children, wondering where exactly the second exam site was.His mind had been full of questions. Why had the first exam route ended here instead of going all the way to the second site? Were they heading back? Was there more ground to cover?Then, without warning, the accompanying supervisor's hands began to glow, and the moment he struck the ground, a magical formation appeared beneath their feet.Thanks to his background in fantasy fiction, Leo had a rough sense of what was happening. The other children, however, were staring at the ground with wide, frightened eyes.While Leo was still wondering whether the formation beneath him was some kind of teleportation ci
Chapter 80: Second simulation part V
After spending a few minutes sifting through his memories, Leo realized who was missing.It was a brown-haired child, the kind who kept to himself so consistently that he rarely drew anyone's attention. What surprised Leo was that he clearly remembered this particular boy ranking solidly in the top three physically.He pulled up the time-skip summary screen and found nothing unusual.Just a few hours ago, one child had grown too tired, sat down on the ground, and given up.After thinking it over, Leo realized the boy had probably been smart enough to understand that losing was, in its own way, a form of freedom.Leo had considered the same thing at the very start, but his goal was to live an extraordinary life.Even if he ended up as a suicidal warrior devoted entirely to a single cause, the title he earned at the end of the simulation would still be worth more than whatever a free man might earn by dying peacefully of old age.With that thought settled in his mind, Leo used the time-
Chapter 79: Second simülation part IV
After carrying the food back to the living quarters, the two-hour midday break arrived, the only free time in the entire day, and like most of the other children, Leo chose to sleep through it.With bodies that ached all the way down to the bone, even the children couldn't find the energy to play.Once Leo's lazier instincts kicked in, the time between closing his eyes and opening them felt like a single second.When a person shuts their eyes at night and opens them to find themselves staring directly into sunlight, it means their sleep quality has reached the absolute peak of human experience.That was exactly what happened to Leo this time.Years of seasoned laziness, plus a body that had no concept of aging organs, plus physical exhaustion, plus a young brain firing on all cylinders, equaled one hundred percent sleep quality.The sleep happened so instantaneously that even Leo doubted himself when he woke up.He sat there for a moment genuinely wondering whether he had actually sle
Chapter 78: second simulation part III
When the time-skip completed, Leo found himself in the middle of the morning breakfast routine.From everyone else's perspective, Leo simply paused for a split second before continuing to peel and eat the twenty boiled eggs on his breakfast plate.A second later he paused again, because he had just realized he was about to eat twenty boiled eggs."You guys really are not stingy with the protein, are you? Whatever, if this is what I eat every day, it shouldn't be a problem."When Leo bit into one of the peeled eggs, he noticed the child sitting next to him staring at him strangely.He looked around to figure out why, and saw that everyone else was swallowing their peeled eggs whole in a single gulp. On top of that, nobody was bothering to fully peel theirs either, just pulling off a few large pieces of shell before tossing the rest straight into their mouths.Leo thought about it for a second and decided that standing out for how he ate his eggs wasn't particularly dangerous.All he ne
