Eternal Thief

Five minutes later, door no.3 opened again, and Leroy appeared with a pale expression. The elf lady saw him with shimmering eyes. She had watched everything inside the room from start to finish.

Although this test was about killing three puppets with two realm differences from the participants, those puppets were not like normal puppets who were only capable of manual and preprogrammed movements. Instead, the puppets used in these trials were all secretly controlled by royal teachers of the Sky Heart Imperial School!

That's why the promotion rate of the students into Imperial School was extremely pitiful. It wasn't done on purpose either, but only those who could surpass their teachers were qualified to move forward; this was the true belief of the Sky Heart Imperial School and also the reason why its students were all powerful figures.

The reason for Elf lady's surprise was because Leroy killed those three puppets controlled by three combat specialist royal teachers within five minutes. She even wondered if those guys had gone easy on him, but she knew better than to suspect since this record would be sent directly to the imperial school for inspection. So, cheating there meant harsh punishment.

Previously, she thought Leroy would suffer since it was his first time if it was the case for everyone. But he cleared the trial quickly, and he didn't even suffer from a signal injury. He was just exhausted, and that's all. She knew this was nothing less of an astonishing achievement.

"Did I pass?" Ace completely emulated Leroy's exhausted expression as he palely asked.

She finally snapped out of her thoughts and smiled, "Congratulations, Student Leroy, you have passed splendidly. Here's your student tile. I have already refreshed your information. You can go to the Imperial School Gate and show this badge to the Keeper Elder, and he'll take care of you."

Ace took the tile, which has now turned purple, and thanked the elf lady before departing. He wasn't interested in staying more than he needed to since the royal school didn't interest him.

'I should inform Imperial School; this guy is an archery prodigy. Perhaps he can be the next Death Striker. Imperial Teacher Connor has been always searching for an archery student all these years, but no one has ever been able to pass his test. Maybe he has a chance…' The elf lady thought, and she quickly contacted the Imperial School.

Oblivious to the fact about drawing an imperial teacher's interest, Ace reached a towering gate engraved with auspicious beasts images, and he saw an elderly human with gray hair sitting beside the gate like a status.

However, Ace could feel the quasi-law comprehension realm aura hidden in this elder despite the elder hiding it.

The elder suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp glint flashed past his eyes as he looked at Leroy, and the next moment, Ace felt a powerful soul sense scanning his body.

Unmoved, he directly flashed his student tile in front of the elder and respectfully said, "I want to enter."

The elder's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and with a wave of his hand, the student tile appeared on his hand before it began to shimmer.

"Good, after fifty years, another human finally managed to be promoted to the imperial student rank. You're not a bad boy. Keep it up; don't let the human race fall behind others." The elder smiled amiably, and he seemed genuinely happy and sincere with his praise.

Ace was surprised slightly since he knew the school didn't promote a radical mindset, especially those with racial beliefs. In fact, if someone finds out about promoting racism, they will be punished harshly.

The Sky Heart Plains were home to many races, and the Empire welcomed them all without any discrimination. At least in public, this was the case. But how could the barrier between races removed so easily?

Especially those races with superior traits like Demon, Devils, and Hunters? Although these races weren't the strongest because of the Skylar Giant Race presence, like in the United Mainland, they weren't weak either, and they had many high-

ranking positions under their belts.

But humans weren't weak either and stood beside these top races because of their ability to adapt, and they were also no bond with bloodline. The further empress, Riana, was also a human, so this naturally brought the humans immense pride and honor.

Now, this elder was showing subtle racism, and his action could be taken as leading Leroy astray and on the path of hatred.

"Thank you, elder, I'll keep it in mind." Ace bowed, but he felt disgusted with this guy despite being from the same race.

He knew it was because of people like them that racism existed, and there was really no way to get rid of them since as long as people have free will, they can believe whatever they want.

The Keeper Elder nodded with satisfaction, "Go, I'll be keeping an eye on what you do. I hope you will show the same grit that you showed in royal school and make us all proud."

"I will." Leroy nodded solemnly before the elder suddenly took out a formation plate and placed his hand on it.

The next moment, the towering gate suddenly lit up in runes, and it began to move inwards, revealing a foggy pathway.

"Go, this mist is another small test of your will, which can also be considered a benefit. If you have the will to move forward without any fear and have a clear goal, you will pass it without any effort, or you will wander in it until the day you are strong enough; this is the benefit for your further cultivation path." The elder kindly instructs.

Ace nodded and entered after showing his gratitude to the Keeper Elder and vanished into the fog and the gate closed again.

The smile on the elder's face suddenly vanished as a cold glint flashed past his eyes, 'It won't be long before we humans rule the Sky Heart Plains!'

Closing his eyes, he returned to his peaceful state like nothing had ever happened, but if someone observed his fingertip, a tiny golden symbol just burned away.

It was so small that even a Law Comprehension Realm expert would have a hard time noticing it if they weren't paying attention!
