The Goddess Made A Mistake Again

The Suifon Desert

A desert at the far end of the Leonidas kingdom's borders standing at the epicenter of their rival kingdom, the Sekai Kingdom.

It was a desert that was not only harsh to anyone who came by it but its residents as well. That's why no human being were capable enough to live at that place, the only things that remained were large monsters.

Scorpions, Sandworms, Vipers etc.

To put it simply, you would be stupid to venture at such places. Especially if you're not prepared to fight them or at the very least, ready to die in many painful ways.

But the desert wasn't just that, the desert also acted as a sort of defensive state for both kingdoms. Making it hard for both kingdoms to invade the other one quickly or without causalities.

The desert was long, long enough to make sure there wasn't any shortcut the kingdoms could take to launch a surprise attack at one another. But there were some places at the deserts where there were almost zero chances of monster attacks.

It was also at such a place, where the venue for the next test was staged at.

The location of the next exams place was very vague, only stating that it was at the desert. There wasn't any designated place written on it for the contestants to go to.

Like I said before, they really didn't want anyone to pass the competition. If push comes to serve, they could just write off some accidents as monster attacks.

It wasn't a problem for me to find one of such 'safe places' as there were much mention of this desert in the novel. But as I arrived at at one of the place, I saw that there was already a fight going on.

It was a young man and another man who seemed a bit adult then the other one. It was painfully obvious that the adult man was the examiner while the young one was a contestant.

Why?

Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

Because the young guy was being thrashed around by the examiner. But my concentration faltered for a second and looked behind the fight where I spotted another guy.

Mostly the second examiner. There wasn't anyone else and that caused a question to come to me.

'Where's the last person?'

In the novel, it was shown that the second exam had three examiners who would be at every place of the desert for the evaluation exam. One of the teacher would fight, the other two will evaluate or step in if the examiner was in danger of being killed.

They were also ordered to stop the fight if the examiner were to beat the contestants. But some didn't, even if it meant the guy would likely die because of it. Just like the fight before me.

The examiner kicked at the contestant's stomach, knocking the wind out of him as the kid rolled on the sand before stopping and vomiting blood from his mouth.

"What happened, is that it?" The examiner with his pervert and snaky face, snarked.

The guy on the ground didn't say anything and groaned for a second. Then seemingly finding some strength, he dragged himself forward, his arm stretching to get hold of his knife.

But right before, the guy could touch it, a military boot stomped his arm, stopping its march.

"Ahhhh! Empph!"

The guy screamed before muffing his voice, not wanting to let the examiner get satisfied with his reaction.

"Come on now, scream, shout in pain. I would very much like to hear such sweet sounds coming out of your throat." The examiner said in his own glee, seeing the contestants face morph in pain and anger.

Yep, there were some sadistic bastards like this taking part in the exam. Not all of the examiner were like this, only some of them were like him. But it was unintentional.

The capital might not want normal people to get hold of the academy but they weren't so cruel as to satisfy such bastards with their retarded actions.

This was completely unintentional on their part. Some were just fucking bastards who came out to prey on the weak.

I hated such people. But who was I to hate? I myself was someone who took fun in seeing others in pain… even the weak ones, not gonna lie.

The contestant understanding that trying wasn't going to help him, so he let go. He let the strength go from his body and laid down on the ground, restless from this fight.

The sadistic smile from the guy went away. Seeing that his prey had given up, he felt an itch in his head, annoying him.

"Hey… don't give up like that, move, run, do something for fuck's sake!" The guy's words fell on deaf ears.

Seeing that the guy truly gave up, the examiner sighed and slowly lifted his sword, "You could have given me a bit more fun before I ended you."

"Well make sure to rot in hell then." With that the guy was about to strike down and end an innocent life.

But even though I am a sadistic bastard, I'm not someone who likes watching people do the same as me. I had standards.

I stopped the examiners hand and put pressure on his arm, effectively making him scream and letting loose of his sword.

"Ahhh! Motherfucker! Who did tha-" His voice stopped immediately as he looked back to see my towering figure give him a clown like smile.

The contestant too looked up, when he heard the scream and saw me. But he didn't felt safe.

"It's me, motherfucker."

The aura that oozed from me, made him feel even more scared at me than at the examiner. Which I'm sure the examiner felt the same or even more as he stammered, "Wh- Wh- Who are you?"

"I'm the next contestant."

Hearing that word, made the examiner feel a bit relieved. Then he swatted his hand out from me, which I easily let go.

"Who the fuck do you think you are huh!" The examiner barked, "To stop a fight intentionally, do you what that means? It means I can disqualify you if I want?"

"Oh… You want to disqualify me." I tilted my head and the dark smile came back on me again.

Seeing that he stammered once more, "I- I mean th- that doing this qualifies as eliminating you."

"Okay, but I didn't do it for nothing, the guy gave up." I looked down at the guy, "Didn't you?"

The contestant suddenly being the center of attention, felt stumped before he saw the opportunity, "Yes! I- I did quit at the fight but the examiner didn't stop. He was going on and on before he was about to kill-"

"You can shut up now." I said.

"…right"

Turning my attention back to the examiner, I look at him curiously, "You heard that, right. But what I don't understand here is… why would an examiner still continue the fight when the contestant already gave up?... can you help me understand that?"

The examiner clicked his tongue, "Don't be cocky, brat! Who do you think they'll believe huh! You, a contestant or me, the examiner."

"Hmm… that is indeed a thought to process," I made a thinking face before smiling creepily at him, "But you tell me, who do you think they'll believe."

"Me, A noble from a distinguished house or you… a disgruntled soldier?"
