Two days before the tests on the island of anxiety, around a little more than 100 students were in the port, in which there was a boat half the size of the boat with which Evans had arrived at the Academy Island, otherwise the white-hulled boat with a horizontal black stripe on the top was almost identical to the previous one.
Professor Wester, Professor Adel, Professor Carion Oderg were supervising the students. Each teacher led 5 inspectors, making them a small group whose goal was to ensure the safety of the students.
Many female students observed Professor Carion who was a man 1.82 meters tall, with light blue hair, blue eyes, white skin, a slender body, dressed in an elegant suit of soft colors, his cordial attitude with everyone made him even more charismatic than he already was, at least within female circles.
"That warrior is at the midpoint of the seventh rank, there's a reason he's a fourth-year teacher."
-Are you surprised that Professor Carion is strong? -Amelia asked Evans.
-Not so much, I have already seen so many warriors and magicians at the top of the middle level, that I already got an idea of the extent of the power of the Academy. -Evans expressed as he looked at the surroundings.

The students began to board, everyone already had strategies designed to accomplish the possible mission.
Already on the deck of the ship, Professor Carion addressed the students:
-I imagine that all of you read the guide, if not, pray that even one of you has read it in your group.
Some of the students laughed, then Professor Carion continued:
-The long-term goal of this test is to test your skills and allow you to gain experience; The short-term goal is to hunt 10 first-rank magical beasts or 5 second-rank magical beasts. But since unexpected questions always arise, I will tell you, you are only allowed to hunt a third-rank beast if that beast is in zone D. If you try to enter zone C, you will be failed.
After Carion's words, the instructors began to give the students some rings and when each student had one, Professor Carion said:
-We will be monitoring them. These rings were created by a guide, and are connected to some magical crystals that we have, so we can monitor them so that they do not take unnecessary risks and to punish those who do not follow the instructions.
The students had to hunt between 5 to 10 low-level magical beasts. In zone D the magical beasts that could be found were:
- Black-eyed rabbits: although they were usually weak, if they were in a group they attacked with rapid blows until they left their target defenseless. The problem was that they were beings that constantly absorbed mana to survive, because not all of them had magical cores.
-Low-rank red snakes: in zone D, these snakes were stealthy, since they were not so powerful, but their venom was capable of paralyzing their prey, generally their size was 1 meter long.
-White-horned elk: They were strong, and their antlers were capable of creating empowering magic.
-Imperial boar.
There were also common animals, but they were not a big problem for magicians or warriors. In the end it could be concluded that zone D was an area dedicated to raising prey for the predators of zone C, for that reason there were times when the weaker predators crossed the barrier to look for food.
-Students, you will have 72 hours to complete your test, you must concentrate and apply what you have learned, zone D should not be a challenge for students of class S, class A and class B of the Stariar Academy, prove that you are worthy of your rank. -Indicated Professor Carion.

-Navigating, it's great! -Crystal exclaimed with joy.
-I still don't get used to it. -Eriaz expressed that she felt a little dizzy.
Lizet who was with the group used enhancing magic to strengthen Eriaz's body and help her adapt little by little.
-Thank you, I feel a little better. -Eriaz said walking towards the interior of the ship.
Lizet looked in the direction where Evan was, and he was sitting on a bench conversing with Amelia, which made her clench her fists tightly, something that Karven noticed since Evans had forced him to develop his senses with hellish training.
"Oh! friend, I think you have a problem right next to you; and I'm the one who hasn't developed his senses well," Karven thought ironically, but since they were personal issues for others, he preferred to ignore it.

-Did you read all about the beasts found in the unrestricted areas? -Evans asked Princess Amelia.
-Yes, besides, I will not go into the interior of zone D, I will only stay in the external area, we have our own strategy. -Amelia answered confidently.
Evans looked at the surroundings, only the sea and the ship they were traveling on could be seen.
"This apparent calm and solitude in the surroundings, always brings great tragedies; apparently the Academy is overconfident in its power."
-Then, we can only wait and accomplish the mission promptly. -Evans affirmed.
-You hunted an Alpha Esquirian wolf; this will be an easy test for you.
"That's the strangest thing; they must know it, so they will act as soon as we enter the island; but I haven't seen any ships, if I could use my power perhaps I could perceive them."
The four young women who formed the princess's group approached and Amelia said goodbye to Evans.
-We'll try, as for the other thing it's better to wait for now. -Amelia said before leaving.
-You are right. -Evans nodded.
1 day and a few hours later the ship docked at a gloomy-looking dock, before the students stood an impressive panorama, a dense forest, mountains, and a river whose waters flowed into the sea.
The students got off the boat, the surroundings of the dock were rocky, there were no people or premises in the surroundings, the job of the dock was only to serve as a mooring place for the Academy ships that visited the island.
The sky was chiaroscuro; It would soon begin to get dark.
-Students, as you can see, the island is quite large, at your disposal you have forested areas, mountains, rivers, valleys and there are open areas if you go a little further; The hunting ground you choose is your decision; When the ship's horn sounds, the test will begin.
There were nervous students, no matter how much they had prepared, seeing something is definitely different from just imagining it; the island seemed like it could devour anyone who stepped on its territory.
The sun set and night came...
Ship Horns!
