Chapter 39 - The Three Exams

While the three were talking, they had to stop as Sylvie still had to take her examination to be eligible to enter the academy.

"Well then little girl. Good luck on your examinations, if you can pass the examinations I'll immediately claim you as one of my students before the four other teachers do." Mr. Bergoni said as he looked at his pocket watch.

"Eh? It's time already?" Sylvie said after she heard what Mr. Bergoni had said.

"Yeah, you have 10 more minutes until examinations start so you should go find the testing area now." Mr. Bergoni said as he patted her.

"Nnh." Sylvie agreed.

"Alright, let's go Sylvie." Grim said as he also patted Sylvie.

"Nnh…" Sylvie agreed to Grim as well. However confused on why they were patting her.

"Alright, get going little girl. The examination shouldn't be that difficult if you've received education for it, which you probably have due to Laura." Mr. Bergoni said as he lifted his hand from Sylvie's head.

"Alright, see you later sensei." Grim said as he directed Sylvie out of Mr. Bergoni's classroom and back to the entrance of the academy which was packed with new students that are ready to take the academy exams. Of course, not just for students that want to be in grade one, but also for students that missed or failed an examination once and are retrying.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for your results when they come out tomorrow. Good luck Sylvie." Grim said as he patted Sylvie's head once more before turning around to go back to his dorm.

"Nnh, alright. I'll pass this examination no problem." Sylvie said as she waved him goodbye while turning back to look at the stage waiting patiently for the speaker to appear.

After five minutes has passed for the examination time to start did someone finally step onto the stage to speak. The one who stood on stage was an old man with a white beard and moustache.

'Could he perhaps be the principal? He looks like your typical anime and novel principals… That hide immense power with their stupid look.' Sylvie thought to herself as she looked at him.

After thinking that, the old man on stage finally spoke.

"Hello there, I am your principal. Address me as principal Wayne." The old man said as he looked at the students that were ready to take the examinations.

"Today you will be taking three different kind of exams." Principal Wayne said as he raised three fingers for the students to see.

"The first one will consist of your knowledge, mostly about reading, writing, math, and history." The old man said as he closed 2 of his fingers only allowing one finger to stand up.

"The second will be magic examinations. As everyone in this world has the ability to use magic, it depends on how you know and use it. You will be tested on being able to use magic and the speed of casting." Principal wayne said as he raised one more finger to indicate two.

"The third and last one, will be a physical examination. You will be conducted to do laps around the track we have at the back of the academy. After that you will be tested on combat without the use of attack magic, but only strengthening magic." Principal Wayne said as he raised one more finger indicating three.

"Please form 3 groups to find which you would like to start off with first. On my left, will be people who want to take the knowledge test first. The middle will be for people who want to take magic examinations first. The side on my right will be for people who want to take physical examinations first. Please hurry and choose a side, I will only give you five minutes to decide." Principal Wayne said as he took out his pocket watch to count the time.

After he said that the kids got in a frenzy really quickly as they were conflicted on which type of exam to take first. There were also students pushing and shoving so they could get into their group before they ran out of time.

'Hmm… I guess I'll take the knowledge test first as I am really bad at remembering those. I've also trained on power control over these past years so I can just make myself look average for the magic and physical examination anyway.' Sylvie said as she went to her right side, which was the left side for Principal Wayne.

"Oh and one more thing, you need a minimum of 70 points to pass the examination. Every examination will have a total of 50 points to give out. Good luck!" Principal Wayne said as he called the five minutes over.

After he said that five different prospective teachers came for each section of the examinations. Five for physical examinations, five for magic examinations, and five for knowledge examinations.

"Alright, follow me future students of this academy for the knowledge examination." One of the teachers in front said as she looked at them. She turned away and walked, the four other teachers did the same as if they were telling the students to follow them.

The students who caught on instantly followed the teachers, of course Sylvie was already next to the teachers as she was used to following the teachers a lot back in her old world. So she did not get confused of whether to follow the teachers or not.

'Oh? This little girl looks smart, she also acts smart. She instantly knew to follow me once I said it instead of hesitating or waiting for others to follow due to their low courage.' The teacher that had told them to follow her thought to herself as she looked back at Sylvie sneakily.

'She has the smell of teacher Bergoni on her as well… Guess he plans on taking her in for his physical education class as well… I guess I shall take her in for her knowledge class when she passes the examinations.' She thought as her lips lifted a bit showing a small smile.
