PHASE 1: The Chamber of Alignment (Personality & Core Nature)
The student enters a floating spherical room whose walls shift like liquid starlight.
Standing in the center, the chamber scans:
Willpower
Emotional stability
Truthfulness to oneself
Nature of their potential (combat / science / navigation / cosmic-level thinking)
The chamber does not reveal results; it silently reshapes the next tests. The chamber will increase it's volume by the measure of their inner power.
PHASE 2: The Pearl Grid (Intelligence / Strategy)
A holographic battlefield appears — not for combat, but decision-making.
Each student faces:
A collapsing star route (navigation)
A moral dilemma involving saving one of two colonies (ethics)
A logic maze that shifts with every choice (intelligence)
A teamwork puzzle with strangers (cooperation under pressure)
This phase reveals whether a student thinks like:
a leader
a soldier
a navigator
a strategist
or… something completely different
PHASE 3: Power Resonance Trial (For Power Users)
This trial is voluntary, but all power-wielders take it.
A crystal pillar rises from the ground — a "Resonance Pearl."
It draws out a controlled amount of the student's power.
It measures:
Control (not strength)
Harmonic stability
Emotional feedback
Risk of overuse or mutation
Compatibility with cosmic forces
The school doesn't punish strong students…It punishes uncontrolled ones.
PHASE 4: The Truthwalk (Character & Fear)
This is the phase not listed anywhere.
Students walk alone into a corridor made of their own memories.
They face:
Their hidden fears
Their suppressed desires
And the version of themselves they might become
Most students don't reach the end.
Those who do gain clarity of purpose.
PHASE 5: Elder's Eye (The Secret Layer — Only for Chosen Paths)
Unknown to almost everyone, Elder hid a final check in the test.
A golden eye of pure light flashes for an instant.
Students never notice it.
This eye scans for:
Multiversal resonance
Forbidden power signatures
Souls connected to Elder or Abythos
Potential threats
Potential saviors
Only three students in history have ever triggered the Eye.
TEST RESULTS SYSTEM
After all phases:
Students who pass freely choose their path.
Students who fail are assigned a safe path so they don't regret their future.
Students marked "Unknown Type" get a personal advisor from the higher faculty.
Students who trigger Elder's Eye…
become part of a destiny written before time existed.
"Wow… this is something," Nate muttered, eyes glued to the sheet of information the officer handed him.Each line of text felt heavier than the last — Chamber of Alignment, Pearl Grid, Power Resonance… it read like an adventure manual rather than an exam.
"I, for one, believe that young master will surely pass the tests," the officer said with a small smile, his cloud-like vehicle humming quietly beneath them.
"So… when does this whole thing start?" Nate asked, flipping the paper around as if the answer was hidden on the back.
"Young master, as I said earlier, the first week is all about school culture," the officer replied. "During that time, you will meet your seniors — students who have already passed these tests. If you have any doubts, you can ask them."
Nate shrugged. "Who needs a long explanation when I have this paper?"
"We are arriving shortly, young master."
The world opened below them.
The School of Pearls rose like a dream carved into reality — a four-sided cylindrical titan that pierced the clouds, each side glowing with soft pearlescent light.The main gate alone seemed tall enough to brush the stars.Around it, thousands of students and families moved like a vibrant ocean of color and sound.
Nate leaned forward, stunned."…Okay, that's big."
"We'll be landing now," the officer announced.
The moment the government vehicle descended, heads turned everywhere.Whispers spread quickly; the shimmering symbol of the Golden Neutron Star on the vehicle left no doubt — this was Space Men's car.
When Nate stepped out, the murmurs grew louder.
He turned to the officer."You don't have to pick me up later. I brought my hoverboard, see?"
The officer raised a finger, as if preparing for bad news."Young master, there is something else you should know. On the first week, every new student must stay inside the school. They do not return home until the orientation week ends."
Nate froze.
His jaw dropped so fast the officer almost reached to catch it.
He slowly turned toward the massive gates, towering like the entrance to a sacred temple.
"…I knew it," he said dramatically. "I knew from the beginning this was a prison. And this uniform—this is a prison uniform. I don't like it!"
He tugged at the top buttons of his shirt, trying to loosen them—
A calm female voice came from behind."You're as feisty as your mother said, Nate."
The moment he turned, snap! — the buttons he had undone fixed themselves instantly, sealing neatly into place as if offended.
The officer stepped aside."Young master, this is Miss Mary. She is a professor here… and a friend of your mother."
In Nate's mind:Yeah. I knew it. Here comes the warden of this jail.
Miss Mary smiled. "I'm not the warden. I'm just a guarding officer for students like you."
Nate's jaw dropped for the third time in thirty seconds.
