Some people from the line of the king's sons and daughters came closer to Raynor's place, rather, they certainly saw Siva's presence and wanted to say hello.
Siva's beauty is indeed a concern for all men, just a glance at the eyes, they will be interested and start looking for opportunities to get to know him.
One of them is Erdan Xersas, the prince of Balasumpang kingdom who now stands beside Raynor as an uninvited guest.
"Oh, oh, oh, who would have thought I could meet princess Siva here, what a wonderful coincidence." Erdan Xersas tried to be familiar.
But it was as if Siva did not feel comfortable over Erdan's presence and Raynor could tell from a stiff smile before Siva answered a call from Erdan.
"Prince Erdan Xersas, of course this is not just a coincidence, I am here as one of the examinees to enter the fire lotus sect, so it is not a strange thing for us to meet." Reply Siva who still smiled bitterly without any intention of flattering the prince.
"That's true, I'm the same."
"I also know, so I'm not as surprised as everyone else."
"Then princess Siva, what if we work together, of course it's quite beneficial for both of us."
"It doesn't need to be prince Erdan, I'm confident in my own abilities. Moreover I am with my FIANCEe, then everything will be fine." Reply to Siva who pulled Raynor's arm closer.
Siva deliberately said the word FIANCEe a little loudly in front of Prince Erdan as a form of reason for him not to interfere with their time.
"Oh. So this man is your fiancee princess Siva." There was an understatement smile visible on Erdan's face.
"It's true." There was no rebuttal from Siva's answer.
It was just that Raynor already felt a threatening aura from prince Erdan, the expression 'this man' could already be interpreted to mean that he was underestimating Raynor.
But Raynor did not reject Siva's attitude, he also felt interested if there was someone who was looking for trouble for him, however, in the competition without any evil figures with arrogant attitudes, it felt very boring.
"Don't worry about Princess Siva, prince Erdan, I alone was enough to help him enter this fire lotus sect." Raynor.
"Your words feel very convincing, but you are not necessarily able to finish the exam later." the prince was clearly mocking Raynor.
"For me, the exam in this place is nothing more than a little game of ball-tossing."
"It's interesting, who would have thought that your daughter, your fiancee has a talent for making up stories, if it's better, she might be able to become a book writer."
"Thank you prince, because that's all the talent he's got."
"I'm really looking forward to the results you'll get."
The more arrogant the prince judged Raynor, he even laughed out loud as he considered himself much better.
"Then, prince Erdan, what if we bet." Raynor was blatantly luring out prince Erdan.
"You ? Challenging me ?."
"Indeed what I say is not clear for you to hear, well I will repeat. What if we bet the honorable prince Erdan."
prince Erdan laughed out loud...."Interesting, interesting, this is the first time anyone has felt so much better than me."
"Aaaahhhhh don't feel like you're going to win the prince, this test just hasn't started yet."
"Okay, I accept. But what would you bet, your pride?, it wouldn't be enough."
Surprised that Prince Erdan saw him, he did not expect that the Raynor who was considered unfit to bet with him had so many treasures.
The prince felt interested, he took a bag of gold coins which amounted to almost a thousand pieces. After all, he was the son of a king with an abundant allowance.
"I don't bring as much as yours, but if you can win, I'll give you the rest later" said Prince Erdan.
"I agree."
Everyone must have heard how the type of test that will be given to prospective students. Its location was right next to the fire lotus sect, the Cicaban lake.
The teachers had already prepared for the hundred badges that were thrown to the bottom of the lake, the participants would dive to the bottom to get the badges.
Of course not very simple, in the lake Cicaban there are low to medium level demon beasts and they will disturb the participants to get it.
"So how do we determine who wins from this bet." asked Prince Erdan.
"What if we race, who's the fastest to find the badge and hand it over to the supervising teacher, he's the winner."
"Okay, I get it."
Prince Erdan walked away with a smile of spirit as if he had definitely won. He returned to the place where the people from Balasumpang kingdom gathered.
"Raynor are you sure you're challenging him with that kind of bet." Furan asked worriedly.
"Why hesitate, it's like I'm catching a big fish sold for a thousand gold coins."
"But I have often heard of Prince Erdan's lunge, he is a middle-stage combat king level martial expert capable of defeating opponents one stage above him."
"What's wrong ?." Raynor replied as if he didn't care.
"As long as you don't mind I won't comment anything."
Gong's voice was hit hard to attract everyone's attention. One male master stood on top of the wall of the fire lotus sect, he wanted to make an announcement.
"Everyone please listen.I am the great teacher of Saproni, I am also the one in charge of this exam. There are a few things I have to say before the exam starts."
The winning middle-aged man could be said to be a powerful figure so capable of obtaining the title of a sect master, he was a middle stage battle god level martial expert.
"First, this test is quite dangerous, we cannot guarantee your safety to the fullest, so for anyone who is still dear to life, it is better to retreat."
Diving inside a lake filled with demonic beasts was troublesome, it was fortunate to only meet low-level demonic beasts, but when they fought the middle-manlike demonic beasts, it was extremely dangerous.
"Secondly, we only accept a hundred people, no matter who, as long as they are able to get a badge at the bottom of the lake, we declare escapes."
The number of participants present around the Cicaban lake were over five hundred people, but the fire lotus sect would only accept a hundred disciples, the competition was really tight for all of them.
"Three, whatever how you get that badge, cooperate, or steal from an opponent, we'll take it for granted."
This was a more terrifying thing than fighting the demonic beasts within the lake, since humans were sometimes self-serving beings, the cunning way they were definitely doing.
"And the fourth, or the last I say, good luck and good luck. The exam's starting."
The second gong was struck, everyone immediately ran towards the lake and started diving to get the badge that was at the bottom of Cicaban lake.
