I sometimes ask myself about the meaning of life
Do us humans just live so that we could die?........My sentence might be wrong....maybe the correct term is we live only to die in the end,
Then what is the purpose of pursuing greatness......if we would only die in the end
What is the purpose of achieving something, being wealthy, being well knowned, achieving something beyond ones limits. Isnt it all worthless because once you die thats the end of it?
Isn't it more convenient to live a simple life? To live a normal life, just enough that you could eat a balance meal, have a place to live, have enough sleep..............a life not to extreme but a life where you don't hurt somebody else........
Or maybe thats just what i think.......
But then again...
What is the purpose of life?What is the purpose of living?
I looked into the clock and it is already 8:00, I have an upcoming entrance exam at Sacred School Academy.
It is an institution supported by the 3 Great Kingdoms. Its a school where one is trained to be a Heroic Knight.
It is funded by the 3 Great Kingdoms on which an individual is given an allowance and a place to live such as a dormitory where each and every student have their own rooms.
It train individuals to awaken their physical and magical potential, a 4 year training course on which after the student graduates, they are encourage to help the kingdoms from monster calamities. Honor students are given a chance to be picked and be entitled as a "great hero", the one chosen are then given sacred weapons.
They are of course a kingdoms treasure that would be use to defend the kingdoms.
Oh, i thinked that I arrived early and yet, there are a lot of people already here...........
I guess I have to find a less crowded place......
As i am walking I can see a lot of tensed, excited, afraid, and proud people here
"Oh my! Isn't that Sir Lanzero, He's so cool"
"I know right, and he's very powerful too......he is said to be called the Light Prodigy"
"Oh, and Isn't that Miss Chloe over there?"
"Yes, that's her the Flame Tempest"
"Did you heard the rumors that she could solo 15 trents all on her own"
"Yup, i heard it she's so cool, what's more she is just our age and yet she could do that"
I seems to overhear some talks of admiration towards well known royalties.
.................
I think this place is enough...its more quiet here.
As i intend to sit a telepathetic voice ringed in my ears
"Good Morning, Promising Child of the Holy Nations "
"I am the Great Hero- Knight Darius Killfreed the third, I am going to be the one to uphold the entrance exam to our glorious Sacred School Academy"
I tried looking for the source of telepathy and I find myself seeing a galant knight standing at the roof of tallest building with 3 other knights in his back
"I am going to explain the rules and events of this entrance exam"
"First, you will be given weopons for the upcoming challenge...you may choose from spears, arrows, swords, axe, katanas,daggers....weopon that you may find in the warehouse near the gates........if you already have your weopon you could choose not to, it is just an optional choice"
Come to think of it....that may be the purpose of the weopons near the school entrance, well ofcourse the one with their own weopon are royalties with sacred weopon as their heirloom and other high quality weopon
"Second you may use magic in this exam but you cannot use magic on other participants.....people who are seen doing so will be automatically disqualified"
"Sir may you please explain what exam we are participating in first" A man in a robe with blonde hair said while raising his hand his voice was loud enough for everyone to hear
He is probably a royalty......Given the way he dress
"Oh!My bad! I was just building up the suspense for all of you" Great Knight Darius said as he scratch his head "You guys will be teleported to a forest where it is greatly inhabited by some weak tribe of monsters.....your mission would be to exit that forest within 24 hours. At the exit there will be a team waiting for you and will escort you back here......you fail if you havent exited the forest within the limited time or if you die in battle"
The crowd of people where shocked about this, the same goes for me although it isnt seen in my face.
Knight Darius probably saw our faces as he said "Of course you may quit now if you don't have the courage to participate there is no shame in quiting as you might be afraid, but there is shame in not conquering your fear....knowing you have fear is good but being a slave to it is not.....for those who are afraid go ahead and leave but for those who are willing to take the challenge stay here.....and be proud.....proud of the fact that you are capable of challenging your fear......stand proudly future students"
A small portion of the students are gone as they might be afraid but majority did not they might be prepared for this or maybe they already have knowledge of what the exam is like
"As i said before you may kill the monsters but you cannot hurt other participants so it could slow them down and other malicious purposes.....there is an alotted time of 20 minutes to prepare...wait inside the circle if you are ready........you may now be dispursed"
