�AHH! What�s this?�

Looking around, he noticed he was in the middle of the training ground. He did not wake up once ever since he collapsed and lost consciousness last night.

Ever since he started practicing and studying teleportation, Shirone only slept for three hours a day. Plus, on the final week, he overworked his body to the point he dropped dead.

�Promotion test!�

Cold sweat dripped down Shirone�s back. He rushed out of the training ground without even having the time to feel disappointed in himself. To climb 1,000 meters above sea level, he had to start running like crazy, no matter what his condition was.

�Please! Please!�

�We�ll start, Headmaster.�

�Mm, do begin.�

As Siena burst the Illumination magic toward the sky. Tension enveloped the training ground. Ethella, who noticed the illumination from the opposite peak, looked back at the students and spoke.

�Once my signal goes off, run to the cliff. Whoever teleports the furthest will pass the promotion exam.�

The students gulped loudly, their mouths dry. The difficulty of the Bridge That Cannot Be Crossed was level 1, so there were no obstacles, but the fear of moving through empty space shook them to their core.

Regardless of rank or whatnot, they had to link at least 70 teleportations to safely reach the other end. Moreover, if their rhythm broke in the middle, even their Spirit Zone would disappear due to their fear of falling.

�We can�t cross the whole thing, anyway. We will eventually fall� But what if the safety device doesn�t work?�

Most of the students were stiff with tension because it was human psychology to not fully believe something unless seen. Mark and the operation team were the only ones who could manage to stay a little more relaxed.

�Hmph. I trained every day.� I can easily leap 70 times if no one just gets in my way.�

The variable was that Shirone was absent. The mage dedicated to Mark reported that Shirone�s progress was slow, but it was true that Mark didn�t believe the report until he saw it with his own eyes. But since Shirone wasn�t there, he thought that he was uselessly nervous over a nobody.

�Teleportation. I see he couldn�t learn it. Well, he never had anything else but his Spirit Zone to show.�

The person most anxious due to Shirone�s absence was Amy. Her unconcerned facade disappeared and she began walking back and forth uneasily near the cliff.

�Gosh! What happened?! Why isn�t he coming!�

�Amy, look over there!�

Sharelle pointed to the opposite peak. When Amy checked with the telescope, she saw Shirone running to the top. It looked like he rolled around on the ground somewhere because his clothes were covered with dust and his face was beet red.

�What the hell has he been doing until now?�

Sharelle let out a sigh of relief.

�That�s a relief, though. He arrived on time. But he must be tired. I wonder if he�ll be okay?�

�Whatever! Who cares?! I�m just relieved that he didn�t drop out!�

�Anyways, seeing as how he managed to get to the training ground, it seems like he can teleport.��

When they saw that his lips were busted open and his arms were black and blue, they could vaguely imagine how extreme Shirone�s training was. Amy regained her senses and looked around.

�It�s quite windy today. This is going to be a tough test.� JrNovels.com
