Saying goodbye to Vinsaint, Brance quickly made his way to meet up with the group, who were waiting by a dorm room door. Instead of searching around for the best one, Cynrik had simply chosen the first one he found unoccupied and was resting against the wall with his arms crossed. Approaching swiftly, Brance could already see the smug smile on his brother’s face. Seeing Brance angrily stomping in his direction, Cynrik bounced off the wall lightly and chuckled, but other than that, he stayed…

Unlike the general masses, the disappearance of Saylin’s hologram and the timers reset caused a minimal reaction from Cynrik and company. Instead, all around them, the sounds of chaos ensued as kids collapsed to the ground crying for their mommies, or others rushed to try and claim a good dorm room. Even a handful of kids outright quit the exam after hearing the next phase’s contents. To the ordinary masses, this wasn’t a game. Even the weakest of Spatial Egresses had a baseline level of Tier-1, and…

A warm gust of wind flowed silently through the massive grassy courtyard, moving the numerous flowers along with it. Surrounding this courtyard was a large U-shaped building that appeared to be either a dormitory or hotel of some kind. Brance, Gabby, and Benny stood at the opening of this large U that led directly into the large land plot, which Brance estimated to be around 15 acres wide (60k meters squared). Unfortunately, only the massive building or grass and flowers could be viewed as far as his eye…

Going back in time, to when Brance finished his test, like his brother several minutes later, he was teleported to an empty classroom. Unlike his brother’s experience, though, since Brance had finished the test so quickly, he was actually the first person to enter the room. Standing in place, he observed the room silently for a few moments before walking up to the wall-sized Tv and looking for some way to turn it on. After several minutes of searching and coming up empty-handed, Brance was startled by…

When Cynrik arrived at his destination, the first thing he did was call out to Brance. But there was no answer. For the first time since their reincarnation, Cynrik and Brance’s mind-link was severed, and it would be an understatement to say Cynrik panicked. Unable to hide his growing anxiety, Cynrik continued to repeat his callout, hoping to hear even so much as a snicker, but all he received was silence. With no other option, Cynrik tried to calm his racing mind by taking several deep breaths and…

“No, hold off for now, Brance; you and Benny go over by Gabby; the podium had a set of coordinates, and it looks like if we follow them, we will find three other desks that have buttons in them. The following button should be 13 away from Gabby in any direction.” Cynrik explained his findings, and the other two boys set about looking for the following button, and about 30 seconds later, it was Brance who found it. He was 13 desks away to the front of Gabby. Nodding at Brance, Cynrik and Benny started…

The Jetlensr and Sandford families stood together and looked out over the massive sea of people. The news reports had estimated that the batch of attendees for this year’s Exams was a record-breaking 180,000 children. If it wasn’t for the existence of Watcets and the internet, organizing an event of this scale would have been nearly impossible. To participate, each child had to register online a full two weeks earlier, and in doing so, they would receive a confirmation notice that gave them the time…

Brance watched in confusion as Cynrik hugged their mother, showing a rare amount of emotion for the first time in years. Gasping and covering his mouth with his hand, Brance asked quietly. Wiping his eyes and releasing his embrace on Cinyah, Cynrik stepped back over to the counter so he could admire his new hidden blades. “Um…Cynrik’s crying.” Not letting this opportunity to tease Cynrik go, Brance brought everyone’s attention to his older brother, causing Cynrik to shiver and bury his head…

Maeve stifled a laugh as she watched Cynrik being scolded, and she motioned for Cinyah to take out the last item from the crate meant for Brance. Clicking her tongue, Cinyah looked away from her troublemaker of a son and pulled out two Cold-Steel Shin-Guards that matched the pauldrons on the CS-LB Duster and handed them to Brance, who quickly tried them on. – Cold-Steel Shin-Guards- -Tier 1: Special Grade- – Classification: Mana Infused Small Shin-Guards – – A custom-made leather jacket…

Before Brance put away his new Chainmail, Cynrik happened to sneak a peek at it with his Inspect. -Cold-Steel Chainmail Vest- -Tier 1: Special Grade- – Classification: Small Sized Under Armor – – A custom-made Chainmail armor meant to be worn under a set of armor. Designed by Cinyah Jetlensr and forged from five ore Cold-Steel, by Famed Blacksmith and Runist Jessup Pinhurst. The Runes inscribed on each chain-link have been tailored to handle Earth Mana. Comfortable and lightweight. Its smoothed…
