This disorganization and chaos was because each elven dynasty had the right to a space within this building, and there were hundreds of them. Only a few planets had total rule by just one elven kingdom. For example, the earth of Gragas shared space with 23 other elven dynasties. Their planet was completely gigantic and could do so, but they were still the dominant ones on that planet.
"Hello, gentlemen and ladies. What do you need for today?" A robotic voice appeared on a speaker as soon as they got closer to the city.
"We want the privilege test," as soon as Jonathan gave the command, Kayden and Lucas’ jaws dropped when they saw a black portal open in front of them. The royals jumped at him directly, and Kayden and Lucas followed suit.
Similar to entering the balcony, they found themselves in a huge coliseum instantly. Instead of bleachers, there were just large spaces with people waiting to be called. In the center of the arena, nothing could be seen other than a large expanse of sand.

Jonathan and the others took out chairs from their space rings and sat down. Kayden followed suit and pulled out a couch for him and Lucas; it seemed like the process was automatic.
"You just need to wait a few minutes and you will be called. There are two types of tests, strength and knowledge. In the first, you will fight against a dummy from your kingdom, and your performance will be evaluated as his strength grows. In knowledge, you will have to solve problems of mana using spells or creating new spells. That’s the hardest one and I don’t recommend it because of where you guys came from," Bianca explained in just one breath.
"What is the relationship between the strength of the dummy and the privileges?" Kayden asked directly before the girl continued talking like a crazy person.
"Up to the fifth level of your realm, you receive rank one privileges. Between six and nine it’s rank two; at the peak of your realm, it’s rank three. But they have a weight relative to your age in the realm you’re in. Furthermore, realm skipping is a level four perk directly."
Kayden quickly understood that privileges were difficult to achieve. Since the dummy should be configured to the strength of a normal person in the off-earth universe, Lucas probably wouldn’t even be able to get out of the first level of privilege, while Kayden should be able to balance between the third and fourth levels.
His techniques converted to Merlin’s methods raised his strength to a monstrous level and, even if they were not complete yet, the quality of Merlin’s methods filled the missing gap.
"He was chosen first," Jennifer explained when she saw Kayden’s surprise when Lucas disappeared from her side without him even being able to react.
"Kayden, how many lightning bolts exactly did you get? I can’t detect it in you," Kolpin asked Kayden in surprise. The elf was extremely studious and hated mysteries. Kayden’s response further disappointed his expectations.
"Only four rays," the remainder that placed Kayden over his eyes automatically lowered them in his mind. Even so, they would still treat him the same as anyone else on the same level as them.
No one had time to respond before Kayden disappeared. The boy found himself inside a small square world of a few tens of meters. In front of him was an old man with a notebook and sitting on a chair.
"Which method?" He seemed to be doing this work on purpose and was extremely dry.
"Strength," Kayden replied without a care in the world. Then, a mannequin appeared in front of him, exuding no kind of aura. It just looked like lifeless material, but even so, it started moving towards Kayden at high speed.
In fact, not that high, it was only at the first level of the third realm. Kayden felt like he was fighting a child. Just a pentagram and an aura cut were enough to split the puppet into two halves.
"I would like to directly start with one at the peak of the third realm," his line was instantly recognized, and a puppet of that magnitude appeared in front of him. As soon as he started running against Kayden, the boy felt like it would be a good fight.
His aura slashes and lightning attacks were easily deflected by the puppet. Furthermore, he attacked using several different elements and spells. Fortunately, Kayden’s dominance was able to prevent most from getting close to him.
"This is going to be fun," Kayden muttered when he noticed a small detail that changed all his predictions: the amount of mana he could use here... was completely insane.
Such a ridiculous amount of mana came at his command that he began to believe it was infinite, even the old man raised his head when he saw the amount. It wasn’t something normal. His first thoughts were that the mage in front of him was going to kill himself with mana.
Kayden was oblivious to all these thoughts as he experienced a feeling of ecstasy. His usual three-layer pentagrams were instantly opened into nine, three times more than before.
It only seemed that the mana expenditure increased by three times as well, but it was a much greater expenditure, practically 30 times greater, as the stacked pentagrams spent more and more mana to enter into resonance.
The strongest aura slash Kayden had ever unleashed in his entire life came out at high speed, breaking each of the pentagrams and absorbing their strength. As soon as he passed the ninth, he...
"Got it," Kayden muttered as he saw his attack shatter in mid-air. He had missed the goal of the ninth pentagram. Even under the robot’s constant attack and pursuit, he remade his spell as he ran.
This time, the nine pentagrams worked correctly. The latter was intended to protect his attack from frictional forces, be it the air or the surrounding mana. The force he was releasing was very great and broke with the air itself, so strong was its impact on the system.
The doll placed several barriers of different elements around it, but Kayden’s attack broke them all as if they were made of Styrofoam. Only the sound of breaking glass could be heard.
His attack was severely obstructed by the barriers, and when he reached the doll, he took off one of its arms easily, with only the residue of his attack. Kayden didn’t have seven rays for nothing and he showed it at that moment.
"Pretentious," the old man muttered as he saw Kayden visibly relaxing. He took this as a sign of the boy giving up. He probably tried to use all his strength in just one attack. The old man’s surprise was when Kayden again gathered mana and launched the same attack.
This was repeated three more times in a row before the doll was even able to formulate a defense or attack in response. Within seconds, the dummy was destroyed into pieces, and only Kayden was left.
"Send me the one from the fourth kingdom," Kayden expected to face a real challenge now. He would probably have to use all his strength in this fight. A new doll was placed in front of him, and its strength was much greater than the previous one.
As soon as he exploded forward speed, Kayden had to activate his domain to the maximum, with mana dilation and all other support spells. It was quite a considerable force stacked on top of dozens of weak pentagrams.
Kayden wasted no time in throwing his strongest attack with nine pentagrams against the doll. It wasn’t weak and it broke several layers of defense, but it wasn’t enough to cause any real damage to the doll.
Seeing this situation, he took out a katana from his space earring, more specifically his katana that he hadn’t used in a while. Unlike his spells, his body could not freely use a modification pentagram.
And he wasn’t crazy about trying at this point either. Messing with his own body was accompanied by intense pain and his senses screaming that he was doing something wrong. One wrong step and he could end up killing himself.
The doll came at him without any fear, using all its strength and speed. The dummy’s arm opened into a scythe and lashed out at Kayden. He received the attack head-on and was slightly pushed back.
The difference in strength wasn’t much, but it still existed. There was no way Kayden could completely ignore an entire realm of difference. Even so, he was not discouraged and exchanged a few more blows against the doll.
The real problem with this fight was that he was fighting a wizard-fighter hybrid. His attacks were both physical with the scythe and using different spells of varying elements.
They were fire phoenixes, explosive water balls, cutting wind attacks, neutral mana explosives, and strength and speed support spells. He was practically a perfect fighter with all the positive points of all classes.
It was completely ridiculous. Kayden has never felt more pressure than in this fight. All the negative points of a fighter did not exist in this doll, and all the positive points were used by him.
