"Before I apply for the test, I would like to know the level of Void Control required to pass it," Yuan said.
"Does it really matter? You either pass or don’t," Sergeant Quang remarked.
"It does to me."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Sergeant Quang sighed out loud before speaking, "Watch. This is the level you must reach to pass the test."
The next moment, Sergeant Quang used Void Control, teleporting left and right in a steady rhythm. Each teleport covered exactly one hundred meters—not a single meter more or less.
"You’ll be required to do more than just teleport left and right," Sergeant Quang said afterward.
"There will be obstacle courses," Sergeant Bing elaborated.
"I see..."
Yuan nodded, committing Sergeant Quang’s demonstration to memory. He wanted a proper benchmark so he wouldn’t go overboard during the test and completely obliterate it.
After all, he needed to make it as believable as possible. Learning Void Control so quickly was already outrageous enough. If he displayed a level of mastery that would normally take eras to achieve immediately after learning it, it would undoubtedly raise a lot of eyebrows.
Yuan turned to Wu Wang and spoke with a smile, "Thanks for the training. I will do my best not to disappoint you."
"S-Sure..." Wu Wang nodded with a stiff expression, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Now... where do I go to take the test?" Yuan asked.
"You can do it by attempting to accept a Red Zone mission," Sergeant Bing explained. "If you don’t meet the qualifications, you’ll be prompted to take the test. Once you accept, you’ll be scheduled for the next available session."
"The mission hall, it is."
Yuan immediately made his way to the mission hall.
While he entered the queue to wait for his turn, soldiers would come up to him and ask, "What mission will you be accepting this time, Corporal Yuan? Another cleanup mission?"
"Haven’t you heard? He’s doing gathering missions now."
"Perhaps he’ll do something different this time."
Yuan replied, "It’s a secret."
Once it was his turn to use the machine, Yuan immediately picked the mission that required him to gather Unknown Ores in the Red Zone.
<Checking soldier’s qualifications>
<You currently lack the permit to enter the Red Zone>
<Would you like to schedule the Red Zone Exam for the permit?>
<You have been accepted to partake in the next Red Zone Exam, scheduled to begin in 77 hours and 32 minutes>
When Yuan returned, Sergeant Quang asked, "When is the test?"
"In 77 hours."
"What are you going to do until then? Keep on practicing your Void Control?"
He nodded.
"But I intend on doing it alone. Since I already learned it, I can practice by myself," he then said.
