Chapter 96 Interview!
"What kind of nickname is that?" Alicia mumbled, looking at Luis speechlessly.
Luis also sighed while shrugging his shoulders. He has no clue what's up with that nickname. After all, he, too, was in the VR world all this time.
"Let's ask Lily later."
[LUIS SUAREZ!]
[EVERYONE! HAVE A LOUD APPLAUSE TO WELCOME THEM ON STAGE!]
Kevin shouted with his voice full of excitement.
"Let's go," Luis said, while looking at Alicia with a smile.
Alicia also gave a gentle smile as both of them walked out of the passage.
As soon as the two of them entered the stage and appeared in everyone's sight. The entire stadium erupted in cheers.
OHHHHHHHHHH
WAHHHHHHHH
YEAHHHHHHH
"Wow, this is one grand welcome! Such great enthusiasm," Luis exclaimed, looking around with a smile and waving his hand towards the audience. Which caused another wave of loud cheers.
WOOOOWWWWW
Alicia also nodded, agreeing to his words standing beside him. But in her heart. She was already feeling impatient.
"Can't they just end it already?"
After all, she has a date to prepare for.

Kevin appeared on stage in a gentlemanly manner as he approached Luis and Alicia.
[What a great battle we got to witness today! Both of your performances were outstanding!]
"Thank you," Luis answered politely. While Alicia nodded with a plain expression on her face. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
[As the top students of this year's entrance exam. We would like to have a word with the two of you.]
"With pleasure," Luis replied with a smile, so Alicia also nodded reluctantly. She really didn't want to waste time here, but since Luis had agreed, she would also stay here for some time.
Kevin was about to give microphones to Luis and Alicia, which they politely declined. From Luis' gesture, he understood that both of them were capable of infilling mana in their voice. This realization made him surprised.
'As expected from the top students of the entrance exam. Their mana control is so good.'
[Then my first question is to Miss Alicia. How are you feeling now that you are the second-ranking student in the entrance test?]
"Pardon me?" Alicia asked in confusion. Since she wasn't feeling anything.
[I mean, you were only a few seconds away from ending up in a draw. Were you disappointed?]
Alicia didn't want to answer and was ready to ignore his question, but when she saw Luis' urging look, she sighed and decided to speak.
Shaking her head, she said, "No, it's the result that matters. I lost, and that's a fact. So there is no point thinking about what could have happened. I can only try to become better so that next time I can win."
[Oh, what an indomitable spirit. I wish you good luck.]
Kevin smiled and shifted his eyes to Luis.
[My next question is for the Cool Guy, Mr. Luis.]
"Um, before we continue, can I ask something?"
[Hm, Yes, please.]
Kevin looked at Luis, wondering what he wanted to know.
"What's up with that nickname?" Luis asked, looking at Kevin with curious eyes.
[Oh, right!] Kevin exclaimed as if he just realized something and said. [My apologies for not explaining earlier. It's the nickname that the audience gave you.]
"The audience gave me?" Luis was surprised, not expecting this to be the case.
[Yes. With your performance in this test, you have become the audience's favourite.]
Well, he also gained a lot of jealous haters. But Kevin didn't intend to say it.
[Now can I ask my question?]
"Please do."
[In that case, Mr Luis. Can you tell us how you are feeling as the top student in this entrance exam?]
"Hmm, well, I am happy. Since it means all the hard work I've put into was worth it."
[Yes, a wonderful answer indeed.] Kevin said while applauding, then his eyes glinted as he asked his next question.
[What do you have to say about the test? How did you feel about it? Was it difficult?]
When Kevin asked this, all the viewers were also waiting for Luis' answer intently.
Luis' performance has left a deep impression on every one of them, so they can pretty much judge how the test has been for him. But they all still wanted to know what his thoughts were about the test.
Luis was a little thoughtful, then he said with a serious expression. "If I have to answer, then I'd say, as expected, of the Oracle Academy. From the written test to the ability test and then finally the survival test."
"All students are selected based on what to expect from them in the real world. Their knowledge, their abilities, and their survival skills. Even from the entrance tests, they are preparing the students for the future."

When the professors heard Luis' answer, they looked at him with satisfaction.
"As expected of the top student. Being able to see through the core of these tests." Professor Hardy said with a satisfied smile.
Professor Darrin looked at Professor Hardy coldly and said, "Anyone with basic common sense can see that."
"Yeah, yeah," Professor Hardy shrugged with a smile, not taking his words to heart and said, "But it's still good that a student with such great potential has basic common sense and does not have some personality issues."
Professor Darrin almost choked on Professor Hardy's words. Because he knew the evident meaning behind his words. He wasn't just praising Luis. But indirectly mocking him.
He gave a sharp look to Professor Hardy and stopped speaking further.
Professor Olivia, on the other hand, was looking at Luis and Alicia with shining eyes as she rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

Kevin smiled at Luis and said.
[That's a very objective opinion based on the overall tests.]
[But Mr Luis what me and the audience are more interested in is your personal opinion regarding this test.]
"My personal opinion? I see." Luis nodded in understanding and said with a serious expression on his face. "It was a difficult test, indeed."
But his answer made the audience dumbfounded.
