Warlock of Oceans: My Poseidon System

Chapter 27 Middle School Testing (3)

"Just kidding," I muttered before slashing its eyes and then slitting its throat with a quick sidestep.

Okay, that should be more than enough for me to get into an average school and also get me into a few scholarship programs.

Most people do end up killing this monster, but nowhere near as fast as I, so I'll give up the next round after putting up a good fight.

...

HUFF HUFF HUFF HUFF

The next round was much harder than I thought... and I didn't make it any easier on myself by holding back against a juiced-up dire wolf.

I was a bit disappointed when they brought out a regular one, but when I noticed how fast and strong it was, I debated whether holding back was a good idea.

I was sure somebody would step in just before I would get severely injured or potentially die, but... that isn't guaranteed.

I was just a poor kid from the slums, from an orphanage, and was dirty all the time, so it wasn't guaranteed that they would help me.

"So... I'll just give up," I muttered while raising my hands high into the air.

Psh

Suddenly, a net was shot out from one of the surrounding walls and captured the dire wolf just before it could chomp off my head.

I feel like I put up a decent enough attempt... let's see who... wants... me... what the fuck?

Suddenly, all the headmasters sitting up there stood up from their comfortable seats, and as they walked towards the glass pane separating us, it disappeared into thin air.

"Boy, that was impressive... Holding back the entire time, I mean," A woman with long black hair and beautiful green eyes said.

"We have the best education on fighting with all types of warriors!"

"If you want to try out some guns, we have some guns! We also have some beautiful students that I'm sure you could easily get your hand on!"

"We have amazing students that can help you out! Your peers will help lift you up!"

Everybody had semi-convincing answers, but I had already settled on the school I wanted to attend... until the man before me spoke some unforgettable words.

"Hey, I can give you a body rune if you want? Just come with me, and you'll have some pretty decent education out of the way from the eyes of rich people... I can tell what you're thinking," The man said with a large smile.

Everybody in the room went silent... before resurging with an even more tremendous uproar.

"We can give you the best weapon you'll ever see! Our materials are also the highest quality, so you can learn to forge your weapon as you please!"

"We have special toxins that can help you become immune to all kinds of poison! You won't ever fall from just a slip of a packet!"

"We have elemental runes that can help you build resistance to all kinds of magic, weapons, and monsters!"

Soon, the offers became much more intriguing, and I was thinking of trying to scam them, but getting on their bad side would just be stupid for a momentary boost in power.

I might need their assistance later on when regaining a position within my family.

"How about you all wait a bit. I might not even live up to your expectations so wait for me to get out of middle school and come to a final conclusion... and I'll be selecting this guy's offer, only on one condition,"

"Oh? Are you sure about that? You were already going to come here anyway, so I can just reject you, and you'll come crawling back," He said with a taunting smile.

"Alright, whoever had the poison offer, I'll take your deal-"

"Wait! Wait! Stop! Stop! Fine! I'll listen to your condition!"
