God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

With Nolan tearing off the core of the last obelisk, he could feel the dark aura surrounding the chains instantly dimming, their power fading into the walls.

In the next instant, Nolan's dagger flared with its light as he instantly surged forward, severing every one of the chains.

Immediately, the dark chains slammed to the ground.

Nolan's eyes slowly turned toward the platform, and suddenly, a deep interest piqued his curiosity.

He had just saved the chained fairies, but Nolan had zero idea what they looked like.

In the next instant, he found himself jumping high into the air, landing on the edge of the platform.

His jaw dropped when he looked at what was before him.

Nolan had heard of their kind in his past life.

Before him were about a hundred or so tiny humanoid creatures with elven ears and pure white hair.

They had no differences from normal humans, aside from their size, which wasn't even as big as Nolan's pinky.

They were currently locked in a deep sleep, surrounded by dark chains.

They also seemed to be encased in some kind of deep ice, and they were so beautiful and cute that Nolan's eyes softened for a second.

Gently, he tore off the remaining chains surrounding their ice-bound figures.

Quickly, he watched as the ice encasing them began to melt away, causing blue water to cascade off the platform like a waterfall.

Then, a voice said to him.

[Congratulations on completing the second phase of the test.]

[You have earned a marks of 92!]

[You will now be transported back...]

The voice echoed as Nolan slowly rose, light gently enveloping his body.

He felt himself being dragged off.

But in the last second, Nolan watched as the hundreds of fairies suddenly snapped their eyes open at the same time.

Instantly, they locked their gaze onto his disappearing figure, and then the tiny voices echoed throughout the room.

"Mama!?"

In the next instant, Nolan snapped open his eyes once more, his head ringing with the last word he had heard.

'Mama!?'

'Mama!?'

'Mama!?'

"Don't tell me they think I'm now their mama..." Nolan thought with a grin, yet his smile faded when he looked up at the sky and noticed it was pitch dark, with the starlight now present everywhere.

"I was late again..." Nolan muttered to himself.

Just like yesterday, everyone around him had already gone, and he was the last person remaining in the grand Newcomers Hall.

Slowly turning his gaze, he found three pairs of eyes looking at him.

They belonged to none other than the Ascendants.

"I might get in trouble this time..." Nolan mused to himself helplessly.

He had been late the last time, and the Ascendants had not been too bothered.

But now, he had also been late.

Would they still allow that, or would they believe Nolan was simply wasting their time?

"Um, I'm..." Nolan wanted to say, but the order came from above.

"Your marks have been recorded. You can go now and prepare well for the next test..." the woman among them said to Nolan, whose eyes gleamed with a thankful light.

And he regained himself, nodding quickly before scurrying off the hall.

"Another headache..." one of the Ascendants called out with a grin on his face.

"The famous trash and slave of the academy, who can't control his divine essence, suddenly passing with brilliant marks."

"He will surely cause a headache among those prideful bastards..." the female said, giggling before they all silently flowed up into the sky and disappeared into the distance.

On their disappearance, the platform they stood on quickly began sinking back into the ground.

The area was once again covered by green floors, and the entire hall was reduced to silence once more.

[You got lucky again...] The system's voice rang out as Nolan collapsed tiredly on his sofa.

A pounding headache was quick to settle on his head, yet he forced it down as he moved to the kitchen and cooked up something for his hungry stomach.

'I have completed the first two phases of the test. Tomorrow will be the last. Once I'm done with that, I'll finally be free...' Nolan mused to himself as he cut up the steak, frying them up before piling them on the tray and heading to his sofa.

Quickly, he devoured everything, then headed straight to bed.

[You have a lot of completed quests that you have yet to allocate their rewards. You sure you want to ignore them...?]

The system asked, referencing his quest log.

Nolan had completed the quest for the previous day, where he was able to defeat the Hydra and then the Titan Champion.

He had also earned the quest for completing the first phase of the test, and he had also completed the test for resisting the whispers of the Most Mysterious One, and another one for successfully rescuing the chained fairies.

So many quests had been completed by him, yet Nolan had not checked back on them.

It was understandable to the system since Nolan didn't really have that much time, but still, it reminded him.

"Right now, I have enough strength to live comfortably, so I don't need to level up or use any level-up cards."

"Besides, I don't think I'm in the best mental state right now to allocate stat points."

"So, it will be better to put it off for tomorrow."

"Once I'm done with the third phase of the test, and finally free, then I can calmly put the needed points into their respective areas..."

[That's a good point. Goodnight then...] the system said as Nolan nodded, willing off the golden notification panel.

"Tomorrow is the last day..." Nolan mused to himself as his eyes looked at the ceiling for a long time, before slowly they closed up, a peace descending to his body.

It had been barely less than a quarter of an hour, that a gentle snore rang throughout the room as Nolan was placed in the semi-conscious state of sleep.
