I Just Want A Peaceful Life Chapter 8

"Millie.. There you are." A beautiful small girl in noble attire approaches both Angus and Millie.
"M-Mia…" responded Millie
"Come on Millie, we need to go now or we will be late for the test." As Mia takes Millie's hand.
Before they got away, "Hey you also seem like a new student. You better also go towards the testing ground now." Said Mia proudly before leaving Angus and dragging Millie.
After both of the girls left Angus alone, "Huft... it seems I better go now."
Then, Angus slowly walked towards the test area. After asking around a few times about its general direction, he arrived at a big colosseum-shaped building.
Looking at the building, 'I have a bad feeling about this.' [Angus]
The moment he enters the building, he sees a circular arena that has a big globe crystal in the middle. He immediately recognizes it as the testing device from the book he read in the past.
But, the one that startled him is the number of people that gather in the audience area. There are a lot of people of various kinds of age.
Not only some senior year students present but also some of the teachers. He found his two older brothers also came to this event.
He also found his father being accompanied by the headmaster along with a few old teachers and nobles around him. Feeling Angus's presence, his father looks and nods at him.
'Damn… Don't look at me and notify the other teacher, you stupid old man' Thought Angus
During this moment, Angus immediately feels a sense of dread from 'gathering attention'. before that could happen, Angus has gone from his spot, hiding between the other first-year students.
After a while, the headmaster, Antonio Grande, opens the testing event with some boring speech that almost makes Angus fall asleep.

The event is also some kind of show for the people about how strong the new students that were accepted by the Royal Academy.
It's also a sort of showcase for the nobles to show their next generation. Combined with the attendance from Angus's father, there are a lot of people that are gathering at this event now.
After the boring speech from the headmaster, "To open this test ceremony, May I bother Duke Victory to give his blessing." [Headmaster Antonio]
Then, Angus's father walked towards the center of the arena near the measurement device. All the audience immediately looked at him, before long he flicked his finger loudly while using gloves and producing a spark of fire.
The spark soon became fire and got bigger. In less than a second, it started to become a fire pillar that changed shape into a dragon made of fire. At this moment, the audience could only look silently while sweating from the heat the dragon gives despite its distance
*ROOAAARR* the dragon roared and disappeared into the thin air a second later. "With this, I open the testing event of the heart royal academy." Said Duke Victory while getting away from the area.
Looking at such marvelous performance and control over fire elemental, the previous silent audience, even some of the teachers, cheered loudly. *WAAAA*
Some of the teachers even begin to take note fervently about the performance. After a few minutes of abrupt cheers from the audience, the test started with a teacher calling the new student number and names.
Since Angus arrived quite late, he got quite a big number and called almost at the end. The device will measure their body strength, mana capacity, and mind power. All the new students only need to touch the big globe crystal in the arena and charge it with mana.

Then, the globe will show some numerical numbers about strength, mana, and mind. Normally, untrained adult people have around 5-10 points as a result depending on their talent and body.
As for the new student that consists of 8 years old kids, just getting 5 to 8 already hailed as a genius.
During this time, He found a few interesting people that had high results. There is one called Ian from the commoner that has 7 at strength and 6 at both mana and mind. So far he has the highest result in the first year.
It is until a golden-haired girl with a cold face and prideful manner going into the arena. She wears a high-class noble attire. The moment her name was called all the audience immediately fell silent. Her name is Jayna Heart, the fourth princess of Heart Kingdom.
Satisfied with the audience's reaction, she slowly touches the globe and imbues it with her mana. The globe immediately calculates her strength and shows the result.
Strength: 5
Mind: 7
Mana: 8
This kind of result is absurd and creates chaos among the audience. Even for second-year students, it is hard to produce such a result. This is because at a young age mind power and mana heavily rely on talent.
Although, both of the categories could be increased by working hard at a later stage. It still will give a huge head start compared to others.
Looking at the result many students felt down from the princess result. But, few students also feel more passionate just by looking at this result.
One of them in the first year is the boy named Ian. Just his burning expression, Angus thought that Ian almost wanted to attack the 4th princess right now.
'Well, Like it has anything to do with me anyway.' [Angus]
Soon, Millie and Mia also tested with results above average for first-year students. It is around 4 to 6 for their average result with strength being the lowest 4.
Finally, Angus's number and the name got called. "Number 24, Angus Vic..Victory" As the teacher that called his name startled with my name.
Once again the audience fell silent and focused on Angus as they wanted to know his result. The result of the third son of the fire dragon of the heart kingdom.
'Haaa.. I hate this kind of attention. Well, Let's just get over it.' Thought Angus as he approaches the center arena.
Looking at the big crystal ball in the center, 'Hmm… such a strange device. I wonder how it works.'
After erasing such unnecessary thought, he put his hand on the crystal ball and gave it some of his mana.
The crystal ball immediately produces such a result that surprises everyone.
"This is…." [Audience]

Winter Sovereign
Serra Recquir, a boy born in the world of Sierra, was born with weak and with mediocre talent. Despite the odds, he pursued the path of cultivation. He faced numerous trials, deadly foes and great friends. Eventually, he stepped into the world of the Divine Realm. Breaking past the limits of the world and traveling to higher planes. After millions of years, he finally reached the summit. Becoming a Sovereign Paragon. Longing for the world he left countless years ago, he finally returns to his own world. Author's Note: This story is different from other wuxia novels. If those novels focus on characters that struggle from the bottom and reach the top, this story is one where someone already reached the top. I figured it would be interesting to start a novel from this concept so I started it. Well, however this plays through, just like how I finished my previous novel, Doll's Smile, I'll finish this novel too. Of course, I'm writing this novel just for fun. I like to write lighthearted novels like this. Novels that I would read while listening to music and eating snacks on a pleasant and relaxing afternoon. Do forgive me if I'm slow in writing.
