The next day, I met Blake he thanked me for telling for giving him an advantage 30% more mana capacity than others and I asked him "let's go talk to mother about dungeon raiding what you say?" Blake though surprised but nodded with a grin together we went to mother and told her about the dungeons, after all we need monsters cores to improve after reaching stage-2.
She told us prepare for the dungeon we prepared almost everything for our first dungeon ride. She verified it personally.
She agreed unlike normal days to school this time mother came with us, she informed the teacher who was surprised then he took us to the principal who was also surprised and said "It is good to have geniuses as a principal I am proud of you but you must beware that entering a dungeon requires passing a test."
"A test?" I asked.
"Yes" replied the principal.
He continued "We will test run a dungeon simulation in the Awakeners Mall if you guys passed it we will allow you to enter dungeons".
'There was no such thing as test run in the main novel, now that I think about it novel starts at the main character from 13 years old early chapters are about passing academy entrance exams looks like there is a lot in this world that I don't know about'.
Then I nodded for the test run along with me Blake also nodded we left for the test run.
We entered the awakeners mall we moved to the test run location, we signed up for it many people were surprised because test run is only conducted only for new awakeners to reduce the death rate of the new awakeners and there is still 2 months left for new awakeners one year completion. 10-15 days before is not a big deal but 2 months before that is a huge deal.
However they didn't realise that how much of a wave it created it just exploded even more since both are dark and death type class.
We went to the dungeon proctor for the test run explained the rules, he said "You 2 will be sent to a dungeon and it will under our surveillance.
To complete stage one dungeon it will take 6-10 hours but you have complete in 7 hours for a passing grade together. Any injuries which are fatal means we will interfere which results as a fail.
You will be given dungeon mana meter when it show the value 0 it means your dungeon ride is over and you need to leave the dungeon within an hour.
You guys have 10 minutes to prepare good luck!"
I looked at Blake we planned this before and checked for the items we prepared explosion charms, metal weapons, armour, boots and finally a spacial belt for collecting corpses/ other materials.
We entered the dungeon, it was a forest we took step by step watching our surroundings and steps carefully. I signalled Blake to climb a tree which he nodded we climbed the biggest tree which gave as entire view of the dungeon and where those goblin tribes exists. We saw goblins patrolling while most of the goblins are sleeping it is normal since they specialise in sneak attack and poison attack during sunset and nights.
I said "8 tribes in each direction. Let's clear east first."
He nodded, we quickly but Blake stepped on a branch causing a sound to alert them, a rookie mistake.
Well no use worrying about it a summoned my minions to hide a wait for a sneak attack. Those goblins arrives I took my scythe and used Vanishing slash to first goblin and used grim aura to create an intimidating effect. It worked, Blake too swing his spear with Shadow Thrust, 1st form of his stage 3 Shadow-Veil Spear Art.
It was our first kill we didn't have the time to worry about since one goblin took his horn to warn his settlement. I quickly regained my senses and I casted an ice needle spell.
It went straight for his head took the goblin out, I said "Blake wake up it is now or never" with a hit to his back of his head with fist. That did the job, Blake woke up then cleared remaining 5 goblins with both spells and arts.
Blake thanked him for waking up but raid for the dungeon is barely began.
