The Kind of Evil

Chapter 170 - 170: Second Test.

Rasmus was about to enter the room, but then he heard a chair being pushed back. He glanced at those old people and saw Yasser standing and staring at him. Yasser seemed to be warning him and judging him at the same time in this test.

"That ring, you shouldn't bring that with you in that room," the old lady stared at the ring on Rasmus's finger.

Rasmus looked at his ring and pulled it off his finger without hesitation. Fortunately, Aris was there and could hold the ring for him.

When Rasmus left the room, Aris glanced at Yasser and the others who seemed to be worried that Rasmus would kill all the participants. She could hear them murmur, but she could hear them clearly.

"You should have given him what he needed without having to waste your time and your little pets' lives," Aris said as she crossed her legs and stared at the blood on the floor. "You know what kind of a person he is, and yet you're surprised that he would kill without hesitation?" She asked and stared into Yasser's eyes as she pulled down her hood, revealing her white hair to them.

"You all might be old, but you'll still get burned if you play with fire," Aris warned as she leaned back and made herself comfortable on the chair. "If he ended up killing all of them, and you decided to change your mind even if he passed all the tests, your head will touch the ground faster than you can even blink," she said with a cold gaze toward them.

Yasser realized there was no point in regretting his decision. He began to wonder if he even got a choice from the beginning when Aris could force him to teach Rasmus about Primal Force. However, he wasn't bothered by it, he was more curious as to why she wanted him to learn it.

...

Rasmus looked at the maze in front of him and decided to use magic to find the right path. He used his perception magic but immediately a sound of gear was heard from the wall. He dashed backward and barely dodged the poisoned steel arrow.

He knew it would be too easy for him if he could use Mana in the maze. He had expected they would have anticipated this kind of situation and prevented anyone from clearing the test easily. He decided to use the most efficient method which was the breadth-first

In the end there were only six participants left, including Rasmus who passed the test. The rest of them left the room, devastated after they failed because of their own stupidity that they didn't pass the test and forgot about the objective.

"You don't have time to rest because we will begin the final test," the old lady stood up from her chair and looked at the remaining participants. "Go to that door and you will see what kind of test it is," she pointed at the door below. "Good luck."
