Wait! Aren't you forgetting something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Am I?\" Daniel asked, momentarily puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You promised me a reward!\" Nina exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, that promise. Daniel vaguely recalled agreeing to it earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of thought, he replied, \"Oh, yes. I gave it to Green.

Don't just stand there!

I'll get you for this!\" Nina fumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Nora peeked over her shoulder, then burst into laughter. Of all things, Green had given Nina what she hated most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well,\" Nora mused, \"maybe this really\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the headmaster's idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karea Academy Headquarters\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nestled within the central mountain range of the continent, the headquarters of Karea Academy resembled a sprawling city rather than a conventional academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its grandeur dwarfed places like Lake City, making them seem like mere rural villages in comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city thrived with powerful mages, most of whom were at least\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tier-Platinum\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is just a nearby city,\" Hayes explained. \"The headquarters itself is located behind the mountain range.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lead the way,\" Daniel said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three figures soared toward the headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, they arrived at a massive mountain gate flanked by steep, seemingly endless stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daniel Headmaster,\" Hayes said, gesturing toward the structure. \"This is the entrance to our headquarters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel nodded and instinctively touched the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ring of Origin\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>on his hand. Shifting his perspective, he observed the academy through the lens of the world's structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he saw confirmed his suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless black tendrils extended from the academy, reaching into the surrounding mountains and lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These tendrils siphoned power from the environment, transforming it within their corrupted cores before releasing it back into the world, subtly altering its essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roots of these tendrils were buried deep beneath the academy, concealed within its very foundations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Daniel couldn't see the precise source, which meant he would need to delve deeper into the headquarters to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daniel Headmaster,\" Hayes interrupted his thoughts. \"The academy headmaster should be in the rear mountains. Would you like to meet them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Daniel could respond, a deep, resonant bell rang through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its tone reverberated across the mountains, drawing his attention to a specific location: the academy's aptitude testing grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curiosity piqued, Daniel glanced toward Hayes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that your aptitude testing area?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Hayes replied. \"Every new student undergoes tests for talent and temperament there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting. I think I'll give it a try,\" Daniel said, heading toward the site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daniel Headmaster, wait!\" Hayes called after him, his voice uncertain. \"The tests are only for individuals under fifty years old…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words trailed off as realization struck. Daniel couldn't possibly be under fifty… could he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Daniel walk away with such confidence, Hayes and the grand steward exchanged bewildered glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Daniel truly was under fifty, then their centuries-long lives seemed embarrassingly wasted in comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Daniel arrived at the testing grounds, he found a group of instructors debating over a recent student's impressive results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student's talent and temperament had impressed everyone, leading to a heated competition among teachers to recruit them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next!\" the test proctor called, looking at Daniel with a mix of hesitation and skepticism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please remain quiet during the test,\" they added, motioning for him to step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel entered the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>magic array\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>, a complex formation used to evaluate both aptitude and mental fortitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he stepped into the array, a strange phenomenon occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The formation began to glow, its circuits flickering erratically before abruptly shorting out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The test proctor glanced at their monitoring device, about to declare Daniel's aptitude nonexistent, when the device exploded in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blast sent the proctor stumbling back, nearly injured by the unexpected detonation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel walked out of the array unscathed, his expression calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So… what's my result? What's my aptitude?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The proctor stood frozen, unable to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had happened inside the array was clear to Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he entered, he quickly deduced the mechanics of the formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was well-designed for its purpose, but he noted several areas where it could be improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps once this business was over, he would create a similar array for Crossbridge Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious about his own aptitude, Daniel had allowed the array to assess him without holding back. However, he'd overlooked one crucial factor: the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ring of Origin\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>on his finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ring's power was far beyond the array's capacity to measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overwhelmed, the array had frozen, triggering a cascade of failures that ultimately led to its collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, as Daniel emerged from the ruins of the test, every eye in the vicinity was on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well?\" he asked again, looking at the stunned proctor. \"What's my aptitude like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1130,"2026-06-06T15:56:16.255Z",1,"novelbin.me","ff3891d6c34cca3d6e849d0e23125d8787b764a16275af9621f0dbcef7fa6a05","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-167","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-215",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
