Chapter 346 Scar's Cloak
Excited, he walked over to a pedestal with a golden pendant on it.
"Scan."
┏━━━Item Scan━━━┓

Description: A valuable locket once owned by Horus. This item allows the holder to fly at high speeds for limited periods.

'Not amazing, but I'll take it.' He didn't care too much about this item, as he had an incredible array of options that lay before him.
Without hesitation, he moved to the next item.
┏━━━Item Scan━━━┓
Name: Peta Wand
Description: A valuable wand that allows one to summon a random animal at will. This wand does not require any mana and is limited to animals existing within the Mortal Plains. It also has an animal strength capacity.

'Peta? What in the world is that? Anyways, I'll also take this,' He attempted to grab the wand from its pedestal, but for some reason, a transparent, purple barrier blocked his hand from accessing it.
'Damn it... my worst nightmare. It seems I can only take one item from here. But, just to be sure, Gear, Scan this barrier.'
[Sure]
┏━━━Item Scan━━━┓
Name: Purple Barrier
Description: A magic spell that acts as a powerful barrier. As long as you are covered in Golden Energy, you can not carry more than one item from this room.

'Ah... seems Orion was indeed smart. You can't enter this room without being covered in the golden stuff, so you are forced to abide by this rule.'
Although he was slightly discouraged by this news, it wasn't too big of a deal for him.
'Can't lose anything you never had,' He mused, returning Horus' Locket as he mused, 'For now, that is... My plan is to take over this entire planet. I can't do that without everything inside of it being my property.'
After this, he spent some time taking a look at every single item.
In the end, he came to categorize everything into three categories.
He called it, 'Trash, Good, and Best,' In his own words.
'Seems the items from the left side of the room are mostly trash. The stuff in the middle is a good tier, and the stuff on the right is the best category.'
He looked around the room once more, seemingly confused.
'But... it's not here. The forbidden relic that this entire exam is based on... the Scar Cloak. That's the thing I was most excited about. Although the wand that I got is most likely even stronger, this cloak is no joke. I have a respectable weapon, but I was looking forward to having some good armor as well.'
He thought to himself, slightly disappointed.
He especially wanted some good armor before entering the normal world.
'On top of that, if we don't return with the Scar Cloak... we will all fail the exam. That is the criteria which this exam is based on...'
He continued looking around, 'I checked the right side of the room several times, and yet, haven't been able to find it even once. How odd.'
At that moment, he decided to check every item once again.
He started from the right side, as that was where the best stuff was, and descended down, getting worse and worse in product.
'Could it be that, just like the Grandeur Wand, the Scar Cloak is also found somewhere else, other than the final room?'
He began to worry, finishing the best tier items and moving on to the good tier items.
Finally, he arrived at the end of the worst tier items, the trash tier.
Still, he couldn't find a single thing that resembled what he imagined the Scar Cloak to be.
'There are also a bunch of items that have no names in the trash section, which doesn't help. But, they look to be useless items anyway.'
He stood in front of the left side of the room, placing his hands on his waist as he took a good look at the items.
This was the only place that he hadn't done a thorough search, since the Scar Cloak's chance of being there was the lowest.
'The only thing that even slightly resembles a clock is this thing at the end.' He walked toward what looked to be a large floating black cloth.
It was made of a slightly thick wool material but didn't glow in any sort of way or stand out like other stuff.
It also had a giant tear going across the middle of it.
On top of all of that, it was one of the items that had no name or description when Scanning it.
'Hmm... maybe you are the thing I'm looking for.' Lyrian mused, emphasizing the 'are' in his head.
He picked up the cloth and placed it over his body like how a cloak would be worn.
At that moment, the cloth suddenly changed in shape, covering Lyrian's 10-year-old body perfectly in the shape of a real cloak.
'Hm?'
At that moment, Lyrian suddenly felt an odd, unexplainable aura around him.
'Did I Scan this correctly?' He mused, taking the cloak off and placing it on the ground.
At once, the cloak returned to its large square cloth shape.
'Scan.'

'How odd...' Lyrian placed it back onto his body to see if it would change shape once again.
And again, it turned into a cloak that perfectly fit his body.
'Maybe now that it actually looks like a cloak, the Scan will read something different? Scan.'
Lyrian attempted to Scan it again. At this point, he didn't really have any other choice.
He wanted to pass this exam and also wanted that cloak.
Nothing else was as close as this rag to being the Scar Cloak, so at this point, he was desperate.
However, his face lit up as soon as the Scan panel appeared in front of his face again.
