With great powers, comes a great harem! - Chapter 17- Evaluation~2!
The second evaluation assessment consisted of the examination of weapons. I was told to select any weapon from the arsenal and destroy as many targets as I could in the range.
The range would be provided according to my weapon. If I chose a long ranged weapon like a bow and arrow or a sniper, then I would be provided moving dummies. And if I go with physical weapons like staff or swords then training dolls with fighting and counter mechanisms would be left unbound to hunt me.
I can switch weapons between the matches since they have given me a spatial storage ring in which all the weapons were stored.
I currently was standing in a closed space. The monitoring unit was at the roof level. The whole arena was almost twenty-five hundred sq ft with me in the center.
‘For starters…I should go with this…’
I pulled out a scythe from the inventory before information related to the weapon began pouring down my memory lane. All kinds of techniques and arts related to Scythe were instilled in the way like I have been practicing with this weapon since birth.
Once I was prepared, I raised my left hand which was the signal to the monitoring unit, before the evaluation finally began.
‘Let’s see how far I can go with these skills of mine…’

[The evaluator in charge]
[Gustov’s POV: ]
I have been assessing students and newly enrolled for the past ten years to the point where I have begun to judge my wife and daughter’s daily life routine at home as well.
I have seen many talents until now, like the top scorer of the first year, Maya Karuizawa, and Kaguya Yahihime who was the second place in the first class. Both youths have ranked A in mana and other skills, granting them a reputable position in the Tower.
But this boy….not only his mana was on the higher degree of A, almost touching the S-rank, but now that I am witnessing his weapon skills, I could not help but wonder whether he was really fifteen years old like the other first years?
For me, it doesn’t matter from which clan one belongs, since all I see is one’s skills and how much effort one put behind their objective. And this boy, he was breaking all those parameters I have set when I come to evaluate a new admission.
Not only scythe but sword, gauntlet, nunchakus, reaper, staff, guns, and even bare-handed, Yuki Shirazawa has shown me the epitome of physical prowess one could reach.
He has destroyed over eight seven training dolls and more than half of them were set on intermediate level within half an hour.
“…what was the record of the top scorer?”
I asked the system in charge while staring down at the boy who hasn’t rested even a bit and continued assaulting all the dolls which appeared, one after another.
“50 beginner level, 30 intermediate levels in an hour. ”
Just like me, everyone else in the monitoring room was awestruck by the raw talent this child carries and how well-versed he seemed in whatever he was doing.
I could see years of practice and hard work has resulted in such all-around mastery of weapons. Those precise moves and agile responses were anything but a fluke.
If the previous top rank was a destructive tide then this guy surely is a devastating Tsunami.
‘Finally, someone worthy to look forward to… ‘

[Yuki’s POV: ]
I was so invested in fighting and learning new skills that I ended up destroying over a hundred and fifty training dolls over an hour.
My body was drenched with sweat as I lay down on the ground while breathing raggedly like a dog.
Thanks to the undistributed system points I was able to enhance my stamina and hit a decent score.
My status now looks like:
[Name: Shirazawa Yuki]
[Age: 15]
[Level: 6]
[Exp: 125/600]
[HP: 175/300]
[MP: 39398… /∞]
[Str: 24]
[Stm: 45]
[Wis: 11]
[Int: 14]
[End: 30]
[Available stats: 30]
[Skills: 1. All weapon mastery- Lvl-Max
2. Revival – Lvl-Max
3. Gluttony- Lvl-Max
4. Healing- Lvl-Max
5. Bookworm- Lvl-Max
6. Infinity Barrier- Lvl-Max
7. Increment- Lvl-Max
8. Slavery- Lvl-Max
Contracted Partner: Tsuyuri Shio-
Loyalty(Max)]
I have leveled up thrice by now and have increased my strength and endurance naturally. I was not allowed to use mana in this round or I might have scored a lot more.
But well, I can only hope that I get a good rank by this.
“Well candidate Yuki, we have a last evaluation left. ”
I rise to my feet instantly upon seeing a different evaluator this time, but somehow he seems superior and dignified compared to that lady at the mana measurement section.
Hearing the middle-aged violet-haired man’s words I asked in an uncertain tone, “Does it mean, I passed this round, sir? ”
I was not sure what was the minimum criteria to pass the second round since I have no friend who has come to this place before and I never found anything related to passing standards over the web.
I thought that by the look, this evaluator would give me some bullet points that how I could have scored more or anything along those lines, but all he did was smile in amusement before muttering, “If I put a fail tag on your score then I guess we wouldn’t have gotten any freshman this year.”
*****
Now it was time for the final assessment, which included the academic test of the student.
I have used my skill bookworm the past two days to absorb as much knowledge as I could but looking at the questions in hand, I once again got reminded why this place was the best academy in this country.
More than half of the questions were something I wasn’t sure of. Until now it was going fine but now…
‘Fuck it…let’s pray the lady luck and tick whatever seems fine…’
…I just wish that the recommendation letter Kaede gave me, doesn’t go to waste or she might really kill me next time….
