"What...was that?"

"Did a person jusy fall out of the sky?"

"Who’s so daring to interrupt the proceedings of such an event?"

The crowd was buzzing, well, it was mainly the outer court students, but since they were the majority among the students gathered, it sounded like the buzzing of the crowd..

As for those who saw clearly what happened?

"Who is that?..."

"To think someone with such a control over atmospheric forces was among the new candidates."

"I wonder which force trained such a genius and why we hadn’t heard anything about him before now"..

The inner court students, the supreme sanctum students, the supervisors and the instructors themselves were more interested in the specifics of the young man’s abilities..

They’d sensed his absolute command over atmospheric forces and that had gotten them intrigued..

It wasn’t often you saw someone who held absolute control over the atmosphere, not even in the central continent..

The moment the dust cloud cleared and Dante appeared in his full glory?

The reaction was as expected...

....

Within an expansive room, Melissa, Khalifa and Kaila, the three friends had become glued to their screens the moment Dante landed with a flourish, but when the dust cleared?

"Woah!!!"

"Tall... freaking tall"

Both girls were stunned..

"No wonder she’s been swooning all the time"

"You’re right, I’ll be swooning like a damsel in love too" both girls were spiraling..

Anybody who knew them would be shocked at their reactions, or maybe not, considering who they were looking at..

They turned in disturbing synchronization..

"That’s...your man???? How and where the hell did you find him? And does he have a twin??" Khalifa shot her questions immediately..

"I can’t help but agree with my sister on this one, where the hell did you find someone like.... Well... THAT!!!" Kaila pointed at the screen with exaggerated gestures, meanwhile Melissa had already gone deaf to their words..

Her entire attention was rapt on the screen, the way the sun glinted off the halberd, bouncing right off his beautiful sun kissed skin, the way he held the weapon down like some freaking god of war descended, it was all doing something to her insides and that solemn expression on his divinely handsome face?

"Ahhh... I think I’m wet..."

......

"Who...is that?" Darius, the youth from before couldn’t help asking, as he raised a quizzical eyebrow..

"I don’t know, but I’ll definitely love to know" one of the women replied, eyes twinkling like stars in the night skies..

A frown marred darius’ face the moment he saw that reaction, his gaze returning to the display..

.......

Back on the plaza, the effects of Dante were even more exaggerated...

The women were going insane, both internally and externally over the impossibly handsome specimen that had decided to grace their lives with his presence..

The men?

"How... how is he so tall????"a lion beastman was incredulous, they’d seen tall people before, but not a human this tall, how could he tell he was human? The scent..

"Does he have a titan bloodline? Why the hell would a human be that tall?" this was a demon speaking from the audience, he couldn’t understand what they fed this human..

"And why in heaven’s name is that bastard so bloody handsome?" A man whose wife currently had eyes shining with literal hearts couldn’t help his bleeding heart..

Undoubtedly, Dante had instantly become, both the most loved and hated candidate on stage...

...

"Ladies and gentlemen" a low, magnetic and confident voice drew the attention of the stunned crowd, Their focus returning to the young man that had finally begun moving, his hand raising the long pole arm he’d planted firmly into the ground..

"Your main character..... has arrived"

He swung that heavy looking weapon with such effortless grace it looked weightless, the air parting seamlessly as if cut by something impossibly sharp..

"Heh... he’s an arrogant one isn’t he?" A supervisor couldn’t help commenting...

"He’s got all the qualifications to be arrogant if you ask me" a female supervisor couldn’t help replying, licking her lips sensually..

"Humph, a beautiful face means nothing in the face of true power" the first supervisor sounded bitter..

"And jealousy will get you nowhere either" the femal supervisor wasn’t letting up..

Meanwhile, as the two got into a heated argument, the supervisors that had been in charge of the eastern domain’s tests, merely watched..

They knew what a troublesome character that young man was, they knew exactly what abilities he was suspected to have, now they were eager to know if he would still be that daring on a stage filled with monsters...

........

I could hear the murmurs that were rising, people wondering who the hell I was, most just stunned at my dashing looks, can’t say I blame them though, if I saw someone as handsome as me, fall out of the sky with such a badass entrance? I’d be stunned speechless too..

Okay maybe not, because, where would you actually find someone else like me?

"Hehe..." before the narcissistic thought could settle, before I could even begin to survey my surroundings, before I could get my bearings, I felt it..

That repugnant aura, that disgusting energy, that foul tasting mana..

"Corrupted mana.." my head swiveled so fast I almost gave myself a whiplash, my gaze landing on a group of individuals, some had black skin, some had red skin, some even had purple skin, some had horns burning with a malevolent flame, some didn’t have any horns, some had tails, while others had wings..

But one thing they all had in common was that stench of corrupted mana and that could only mean they were "Demons...."..

A low growl tore out of me as my blood started boiling, my eyes turned red, I’d told aunt v, I’d try to control myself, but the very sight of these foul creatures made all reason flee my thoughts, Imperial SunBlood went to work as the Solar essence within my body became active, a haze of searing heat bleeding out of me...

I couldn’t fight all of them at once, more like I didn’t have the hands for it, so, I just picked the two most foul feeling ones and then, before any of them could react, I was right before them, fists swinging with wild fury..

"DIEEEEEE!!!!!"

Booooooommmmmmmmmm.....

The entire platform shook, a shockwave blasting out with us as the center, a wave of debris and dust scattering outward...

My eyebrow rose as I felt resistance, I steadied my gaze..

"Hmmm, what’s this? Attacking unprovoked?"

One of the foul creatures had the audacity to speak, an energy barrier had appeared around them, nullifying my attack..

"Human.. you enter..."

"Nigga... shut the fuck up"... 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

BOOOOMMMMMMMM.......

I released my punch, delivering one packed with all the strength I could muster, sending them flying..

No, I wasn’t being racist, I was black before reincarnating, plus the fact that I had rich, sun kissed skin, made me qualified to use that word, if such a concept even existed..

Besides, even if I was being racist, I didn’t really care, because if I hadn’t made it clear before, I Really, REALLY HATE DEMONS....
