All of them look at Jimmy and thought the same thing ''Muscle Head''.

    "What?" Jimmy asked as his friends are giving him weird look.

    "Nothing, just be attentive to your surroundings at all time" Jake shook his head and said.

    "Is something, wrong here?" Mark asked.

    "Not something wrong but....., hmm, let''s say, A good warrior must be aware of everything around himself" Jake said mysteriously.

    Mark and others though didn''t understand what Jake meant but they nodded and kept looking around.

    Seeing them like this Jake understood they misunderstood his words, but he can''t help them after all some one is keeping an eye on them, earlier when he was going to help them, someone warned him not to do.

    "By the way, isn''t it weird?" Jimmy suddenly said.

    "What is weird?" Emily asked.

    "I mean, it''s such a prestigious academy and yet the Core test was in a shabby tent, just what are they thinking" jimmy shook his head and said.

    "Maybe they are stingy" Jake said nonchalantly, hearing him others laughed.

    "Hey maggots, can''t you all just be quiet?" Suddenly a annoying voice interrupted them, turning towards the voice they saw a Dragon born with two more dragon born following him.

    "We''re not disturbing anyone; everyone''s talking. Why did you come over here?" Jimmy, known for his hot temper, frowned and questioned.

    "Shut up," Ryne, one of Ramine''s lackeys, scowled, silencing Jimmy.

    "How dare you talk to Lord Ramine like this?" Leo, the other lackey, shouted, pointing accusingly at Jimmy.

    Ramine waved his hand, restraining his lackeys. He then approached Jimmy, looking down at him with a condescending gaze. "Know your place, maggot..." But as he spoke, a sudden surge of mana pressure assaulted him, forcing him to kneel.

    Ramine, visibly irritated, glared at the source of the mana pressure. "Who are you? There''s no way a country bumpkin like you can overpower me!"

    "You just kneeled from this little pressure. What are you, a delicate houseplant?" Jimmy laughed, sneering at the arrogant Dragonborn.

    With a mocking grin, Jimmy lifted his right foot and trampled on Ramine''s head. "It''s you who should know his place." The tables had turned, and the once arrogant Ramine found himself humbled by a force he hadn''t anticipated.

    Ramine clenched his hands in frustration, his thoughts seething with irritation. ''From their clothing, they are clearly from some village. So what is this?''

    "F-forgive me..." Ramine muttered in a low voice, a begrudging admission of defeat.

    "Huh? Did you say something just now?" Jimmy teased, pretending not to hear.

    Seeing this Jake looked at the Boy-My name is Dio Granvis, stop calling me The Boy.

    Ahem, Jake looked at Dio as if asking what is this , Dio shrugged and said " There is also a rumor of him being a Playboy, though looking at him, it''s probably true".

    "It''s definitely true," Jake, Mark, and Jimmy nodded in agreement. Emily, however, expressed her disdain, calling him a "perverted scumbag."

    Dio, wide-eyed, looked at Emily. She met his gaze and asked, "What?"

    "No... it''s just you''re probably the first girl not looking at him favorably," Dio remarked, scratching his head in surprise.

    Emily, unimpressed, replied, "Perverted scumbags aren''t my type, no matter how handsome he is"

    Dio nodded and smiled. "By the way, my name is Dio Granvis. I hail from the Granvis family in the South."

    "Jake Dreamstar, from Bucks Village in the North," Jake introduced himself.

    "Mark Ryes, from Bucks Village," Mark smiled as he shared his origin.

    "Jimmy Raymond, from Bucks Village," Jimmy said, shaking hands with Dio.

    "Emily Raymond, from Bucks Village," Emily calmly introduced herself.

    "You all are really from a village," Dio exclaimed. "Anyway, in this Academy, status doesn''t matter," he added, shrugging off any potential concerns about their background.

    As they chatted, Drake finished greeting all the girls. "Ahem, now we will start the first test, which is Battle Royale."

    Drake snapped his fingers, and a magic circle appeared on the ground, teleporting all the examinees to different locations.

    Jake opened his eyes to find himself standing in the middle of a small lake. "Really? Can''t he have teleported me to some better location?" Jake murmured. He emerged from the lake, using his mana to dry his clothes, preparing for the challenges that awaited in the Battle Royale.

    [Can it even be called a challenge to you?] Nexus chuckled and said.

    Jake just shrugged, and then an announcement echoed through the landscape.

    {Hello, everyone. My name is Drake. Now, you must all be confused by the sudden teleportation, but fear not. This is a controlled ground. Now, the test is Battle Royale. As the name suggests, you all are going to battle and eliminate each other until only a single examinee remains.

    And if any of you are wondering if there is any potential danger to your lives, then fear not. This whole Test Ground is surrounded by many spells. The moment someone gets attacked fatally, they will be teleported out. So, rampage to all your hearts'' contents. See ya~~}

    [He said you will be teleported out if you are fatalt wounded , you know what it means right?] Nexus said

    "Yes, it means, you can beat your opponent to verge of death and only then he will be teleported out" Jake said grimly.

    [This is going to be a dirty Battle Royale] Nexus commented.
