Cron approached his mother to touch her hand, but she struck him and said: "I did not raise a child who despises girls and insults people. You have tarnished our family name. Shame on you."
Cron began to cry: "Will you tell Father? But if Father finds out, he will punish all of us. Also, we need to get rid of Mohammed, that girl, and her brother. If he stays alive, rumors will spread that someone harmed our family and went unpunished. Everyone will dare to mock our family. That is why we must take revenge on him in the upcoming academy test and restore our family's honor."
While the Gustav family was planning to eliminate Mohammed, he was unaware and did not know anything bad was happening.
Mohammed left his isolation, bathed, dressed, and took his sword. He went to Isabel and Fern's room and said: "Do not leave this room ever until I return."
Isabel replied: "You also take good care of yourself. And do not forget, you insulted a noble. You must be careful."
Mohammed responded: "Do not worry. I will handle everything and return."
Mohammed went to the testing location and found many strong students gathered. The test supervisor said: "Everyone here, prepare yourselves. The test will begin soon." Everyone was surprised: how could the test start when we haven't even prepared yet?
The supervisor then began to count: "Three, two, one." He released a very strong aura and said: "Whoever can remain standing passes the first test."
The supervisor released a very powerful and oppressive aura. Most students fell, and those remaining struggled. There were some who were unaffected, like Mohammed, who remained extremely relaxed.
Mohammed thought to himself: "Is this aura really that strong? Why did everyone fall, or am I the abnormal one among them? Because I trained with a tyrannical aura, my mother's aura, which crushed my bones with its strength. I hope I never return to that hellish training, but thanks to it, I became like this."
After a while, the supervisor stopped his aura and said: "Those who remain standing have passed the test. Now, the second test: kill a ghoul." Only 100 students passed the first test. The second test, killing a ghoul, was extremely difficult for new students. Many withdrew in fear, leaving only 35 participants.
The supervisor called the students: "Come on, let's go to the arena." Everyone went to the arena, with students in the stands watching. One by one, the students entered.
The first student had well-developed muscles and held his sword well. The ghoul was released from its cage and attacked. The student fought fiercely, using a magical shield to block the ghoul's blows. When the ghoul tried to strike him, he dodged and stabbed it in the heart, killing it.
One by one, other students entered to fight the ghoul. Most struggled, except for a few strong ones: three students and two girls, who defeated the ghoul in just a few blows.
Finally, it was Mohammed's turn. He entered the arena, and the ghoul was released. Normally, when a ghoul is released, it rushes to kill the students. But when it was Mohammed's turn, the ghoul was scared and never left its cage.
Everyone was surprised: "Why didn't the ghoul come out? Is it okay?" The test supervisor was also shocked, as such a thing had never happened before.
Mohammed requested another ghoul to be released. When the cage was opened, the ghoul again did not come out, also out of fear.
Mohammed could understand the monsters' language. The ghoul said: "Look at that person. He doesn't even seem human. I can even feel the demonic energy from him. He is extremely terrifying."
Mohammed was surprised: "How did they know I possess demonic energy?" He approached to understand how they could know this.
As Mohammed approached the ghoul's cage, the ghoul felt extreme fear.
Mohammed said: "Do not be afraid. I want to know how you knew about my demonic energy."
The ghoul replied: "Because I can feel a little bit of demonic energy coming from you, and we are very sensitive to demonic energy."
Mohammed was astonished at how they could sense it.
