Chapter 9 [ Naeva's Past ]

Naeva POV

Approximately 10,000 years ago, when I was 20,000 years old, Tower held a useless event.

The tutorial missions conducted on Earth were temporarily changed.

No longer...

[ Kill the Tutorial Boss to Complete the Tutorial ]

Or

[ Survive the Boss Tutorial ]

Instead...

[ Survive and Make Her Acknowledge You Then Become Her Student ]

Of course, I, who at the time thought it was just another silly thing Tower had come out with, didn't pay much attention to it.

I also assumed that since it was just a celebration event, there must be a time limit.

But strangely, after hundreds of years had passed and thousands of Passengers had been killed because they could not survive on Earth, the event did not go away. Until at the peak, I who was fed up with the crowd of people asking to be made disciples gave a test so that they would not disturb my peace in the palace.

The test was an ordinary survival test. Those who wanted to become my students had to survive against the tutorial monsters that I had always arranged not to attack first. Now they will attack anyone they see. And surviving those monsters is a test for them.

1 week.

One week is enough.

And even then only against my low-level monsters.

Anyone who still survives after 1 week, I will train even if it's just a formality.

And as expected.

The number of people who survive is 0. Most die on the first to third day.

This means that their level is only that limited.

As if answering my challenge, the Passenger Tower sent to Earth is getting stronger and stronger so that someone can fulfill my test.

1 millennium is the limit of the test that can filter the Passenger.

The Passengers that entered Earth after one millennium had passed were Irregulars from different worlds with diverse abilities.

It looks like this year's Passenger is the last one. Because Tower sent so many Irregulars from different worlds. I thought regulars or Irregulars made no difference. But it's not like that. Their diverse abilities were able to help them survive my test.

Of the 1000 people sent together that year, 327 survived and passed the test.

Of course, this made me, who was very bored, quite interested. I decided to teach and screen them at the same time. There were 3 stages to my teaching.

Stage one - Basic Lessons
146 Passenger forfeited.

Second stage - Advanced Skills Lesson
98 Passengers forfeited.

Third stage - Special Skills Course
74 Passengers forfeited.

Although the number was drastically reduced, it was still...

There were 9 people who successfully completed the lesson from me. It's not that I killed those who failed. I taught them theory, taught them practice and gave them exams to show the results of their training. The exams were held every step up. And it's not me who tests them.  Their opponents when the exam was given were directly by Tower who supported my plan. Most of them failed the exam.
