He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact

The Astral Empire was currently bustling .

Wherever one would pass, individuals had their eyes glued to the events about to be broadcasted to the empire.

This was not just an entrance exams for the Astral Empire Academy .It was in a way, a chance to separate the wheat from the chaff , to sieve between geniuses who qualified to enroll in the Astral empire academy_to ultimately rise to the top and trash, that didn't deserve the opportunity.

Kailen stared at his surroundings for a while.

He was floating in outer space ,at the edge of an extremely large planet .

A holographic screen appeared before him, detailing the contents of the entrance exams.

Several candidates,numbering the multitudes , having appeared at the edge of the planet alongside him in his disguised form,also read the details of the entrance exams.

[ The Entrance Exam is simple. Survive on the planet using any means necessary.

Killing beasts of different ranks will equally earn you a certain number of points.

Competitors are allowed to eliminate one another .

Eliminating a competitor will earn you the points of the competitor you eliminated .

The number of points you accumulate will determine your ranking in the entrance exams. The entrance exams will end when there are ten thousand examinees remaining on the planet. Good luck ]

" Interesting. These guys are trying to weed out the weaklings . They are encouraging fights amongst participants and even killing for points are allowed huh.Also by saying the entrance exams will end when there are ten thousand examinees remaining on the planet ,it means that only when ten thousand of us are left will the exams come to an end. In simple words, we have to kill each other till ten thoussnd of us remain ,or whatever dangers are lurking on that planet will have to reduce us to ten thousand before the exam ends" Kailen mused to himself.

" Finally ,I can stop using these disguises. Also it will help a lot . I am sure many would want to find favor in the eyes of the Harkers and Darkhavens by getting rid of me. By assuming my actual identity,many will see me as a target and I can get rid of them together . That will make things easier "

Kailen mused to himself as he revealed his actual appearance .

Smooth Dark hair ,pale white skin , eyes as dark as night and deep as an abyss.

Long coat , white sneakers and jeans .

" Umbra replacement "

Kailen dissapeared, switching locations with one of the shadow creatures he had sent to secretly scout the planet when he appeared at the border of the planet.

" If he survives, inevitable death awaits him at the academy " Enna stared at Kailen coldly as she spoke.

Memories of her dead niece flooded her mind. She clenched her fists in agony , as she thought of the fact that she was dead and gone forever, all because of the young man on the screen.

" Im sure he will die here sister. After all, many would want to curry favor with us , and would try to kill him to suck up to us in the name of doing so because of the entrance of exams ,knowing we are watching the ceremony. Plus there are definitely harrowing dangers of the examination planet" Francisca's eyes flashed with a menacing glint.

In the Darkhaven Estate , Cyrus and his wife were staring at the screen with anger.

" This brat , how was he able to hide his identity ?" His wife asked , completely shocked.

Cyrus sighed and calmed down. He had to let reason overcome anger here.

" I'm sure some intelligent alchemist helped him out" Cyrus replied his wife who stared back at him with a listening expression.

"Those identity masking elixirs are very hard to come by after all. With the support he's been receiving from the alchemy association, it's only natural they can gift him something like this"

There was no way he'd be able to guess that Kailen had made the elixir himself .

Even the recipe for making them were not easy to come by..

Even him, who was not an alchemist was aware of this fact.

" Definitely some people may want to curry favors with us and will attempt to end him for us " Samantha said " I'm also sure some of the bounty hunters have snuck in their members at the beginner stage Ascendant level to use the entrance exams as an excuse to get rid of him for us "

Cyrus nodded " That's right. Though we can't actively harm him, someone might do us the favor of ending him for us. Even if he survives , we can let some of the Darkhaven senior students at the academy get rid of him for us after he enrolls in the academy . As long as Bryce is there , they will rally behind him"

Samantha hugged her husband " Even if they do not rally behind the boy , you are the clan leader. They will naturally listen to you. This boy is too dangerous to be left alive. His potential is too terrifying"

Cyrus nodded .

Old Ha was currently sipping some tea in his garden .

Staring at the hologram ,he sighed " This kid just appeared and he's already stealing the spotlight.

Can't blame the virtual universe fellas . It's all about marketing for them. Considering the uproar he has caused recently , marketing him on screen is not a bad idea to increase the viewership ratings . I look forward to what you can do kid. You are on your own from here"

****

"It's starting"

Sitting atop a large corpse of an untamed diabolic beast in the blizzard and ice infested environs , Arre , Micheal and Charles stared at the holographic screens before them.

" I pity the participants "

Charles sighed .

" Inasmuch as it seems absurd to be so confident that he will come out on top considering the large number of participants , underestimating Kailen will make us only more shocked and give us a heart attack"

Micheal added ,chuckling.

Arrie's eyes,glued to the screen , held untamable belief in Kailen ,yet, it also held worry.

What if something were to happen to him?

However she dismissed the thought as soon as it had appeared .

This was Kailen we were talking about. He was not stupid and reckless to charge into anything without considering his own safety.

He would be fine.

Across the earth, everyone was watching the entrance exams.

Families had gathered ,strangers had crowded with holographic screens flashing before them.

The skyscrapers also held holographic screens that were broadcasting the entrance exams of the most prestigious academic institution of the empire to the world.

Many were not just interested in the entrance exams. They held an unwavering faith in the Father of the Federation .

They wanted him to show those proud geniuses from the sea of stars ,that earth was not weak.

" How many do you think he will kill?"

Reynolds ,seated in a lounge alongside Jane , Kim ,Donalds,and Borngreat , asked as his gaze was focused on the broadcast .

" I can't tell. But , everyone in the empire will pay the price for underestimating that kid after this entrance exams "

The others nodded , clearly in agreement with his words.

They had seen Kailen's meteoric rise ,and knew how Monstrous he was.

Kailen could not be labeled or judged with common sense.

The more you thought you knew how powerful he was, the more he'd prove to you that you have underestimated him.

" You guys seriously wanted to start the party without us ?"

" Seriously, that's mean dad"

" Uncle Kailen is gonna kick their ass"

" Utter betrayal "

Angela ,Lee ,Phila ,Troy and Denisa(Phila's parents), and Felicia ,alongside Phoebe walked into the lounge with smiles on their faces .

" Not gonna watch ?. Heard your disciple is participating "

Comrades had gathered together in a base at the front lines of the Empire ,completely immersed in the broadcast .

One of them asked Jackson ,who seemed completely uninterested in the broadcast.

He stood up , heading towards the place where the large hologram was displayed.

"I know the outcome already ,yet why not join in on the fun. Would be pleasant to see my disciple trounce others"

The others stared at him with scornful looks.

Yes Kailen was powerful and they didn't doubt.

Yet , the entrance exams of the Academy held unimaginable levels of mortality.

It was gruesome . Plus,who knew how many geniuses had been hiding and bidding their time to showcase their might at this moment?

It was naturally plausible that there were definitely others that could outshine Kailen right?

So why was Jackson so confident.

Ignoring their arguments ,a small chuckle tugged at the edge of his lips .

"Let's just watch "
