After he finished meditating a hunger came from being several days just eating nutritious bars, although they give the necessary nutrients to survive, it doesn't satisfy Suta's great appetite for food and more for the need for meat in his diet, a side effect of to be a beast man of the carnivorous type.
He went under the dining room of the inn to eat, but when he opened the door there were two children asleep on the floor in the hall.
"..., because they are here" Suta bent down to raise them but when he touched the cold ground he had an idea of why.
"I'll take you to the manager, maybe you'll meet your parents"
He charged the two children, although he did not charge them in a comfortable position, they did not wake up.
"Yes, they must be tired"
...
"Excuse me, will you happen to meet their parents?" Suta showed the two sleeping children to the attendant.
"Oh, excuse me for the problem, but they are both the owner's children and sometimes it brings them to the inn, it's not the first time this happens, give them to me"
The man left his post to take the children to the office behind him, which is where his mother is.
"Then what will I eat?" Suta was about to order something to eat, but he hears hasty steps from the office address.
* SFX door opening suddenly *
The sound was loud but still, the children did not wake up.
"It's a shame they've slept in your room, so ask whatever you want as an apology." A giant woman left the office while showing a bit of grief over her children's actions.
"Hey, they did not sleep in my room"
"Ah, how strange, where did you find them asleep then?"
"Ehh ..., in the hallway in front of my door"
"What !?, they have eaten something that made them sleepy, poison?" The woman was surprised to know that her babies fell asleep in the middle of the aisle which is not normal and like a good mom, she began to think of all the possible causes no matter how crazy they were.
"Hey, I think it's my fault." Suta showed an uneasy smile, he raised his hand which stopped the woman from throwing herself at him for an interrogation.
"[Manifest]" A piece of ice slowly formed on Suta's hand as the temperature began to drop rapidly.
"I was cultivating in the room and as you can see, my element is Ice, apparently I have the effect that when I meditate around me it cools down. The cold air that was in my room was coming out of my room by the part under the door, so the floor was cold and they two went to sleep there "
"That makes a lot of sense, but I'll still do a checkup on their bodies in case there's something wrong, however, thank you very much, boy, for bringing them here"
"Mark! Serve this boy from here with the best ingredients! "
"Young, I hope you enter the academy, although seeing what you achieve by just meditating, I was not surprised and I say it, a young lady who has seen many people cultivate and none of them managed to alter their environment like you and don't hide your ears when you still leave that free, so you will not get a girlfriend. "The giant woman patted Suta's back as she finished speaking and then entered to her office.
"How did she know that I'm just going to enter the academy?"
"It's obvious boy, you hardly have any aura and that are the dates to enter the academy, look around and you will notice that there are more young people than adults right now" A man with a padlocked and bald beard said as he approached Suta.
"Oh, mmm"
"Forgive my manners, I'm Mark, the Head Chef, I came to see what you would order"
"Anything that carries meat and if it's in bigger portions better!" Suta showed his ears and wagged his tail at the thought of eating and honestly said his wish.
"That's easy to do, do not you have any problem with the type of meat that is?"
"Nope, I'll be there waiting for the meat!"
After saying he wanted to, Suta retired to a random table that he chose with his eyes, he did not have to wait long for his food to be brought and he began to clean the dishes.
All the people present were surprised by how the food disappeared in a small person.

The day had arrived, the day of the exam, Suta was ready for the exam, he already had two mana stars and could use one for a simple spell.
But there came a question from Lux that made Suta's mind stop for a moment.
"Do you like your element?" She asked, just out of curiosity.
Although it is a simple and easy question to answer with a yes or no, Suta paralyzed at the thought of the Element that he awakened, he had not thought about it, he had just dedicated himself to cultivate and grow his mana and power stars Using a spell, he did not think if it was good or bad.
But when Lux asked that question, repressed memories arose for a few seconds.
The memories were of how the cold consumed him and dragged him to death.
The awakening of the Element of Ice for Suta is ironic, the thing that killed him is now part of him and it is his power, his strength.
"I'm not sure yet"
"What a boring answer! And you Lisa? "
"I felt very proud and happy to awaken an element that could not be a disappointment to the clan," Lisa said proudly.
Lisa is the daughter of a family branch who has always been stewards in the Grinford clan and she was trained to be a big servant until she was chosen by Sena Grinford to be the personal servant of her beloved younger sister.
"Ugh, I forgot that she was brainwashed as a child"
"Sutaaa ... I'm boreeed" Lux got bored waiting for the others to come to the room to take the entrance exam and there were only the two of them.
"But ... You had already promised-"
"Wuaaa" Crocodile tears began to fall from Lux's eyes at his refusal.
"... Princess, you are already very-"
*Crying*
"Tch" Reluctantly, Suta approached Lux and knelt on his back as he dropped his head on Lux's knees.
"Hehe" Lux played with the instinctive reactions of Suta's ears.
Something she has been doing for a long time, she had promised to stop treating him like this because doing this, it hurts Suta's masculine pride, but she still agrees to do it because he doesn't want to have Mr. Arthur behind him because his daughter cried or locked herself in her room, as happened the first few times that Suta flatly refused.
"If you were not human, you would be a good pet"
"My lady, please refrain from making such comments, they can seriously affect Suta and that will cause his performance on the exam to decrease and may not happen, that would mean that you will not be able to continue enjoying this pleasure during your stay at the academy "Lisa said in a monotone voice as she watched with amusement.
"Hey, I thought you were on my side!"
"I'm only on one side and that's the one of the young lady"
"Tch! How much longer do I have to last like this?"
"Mmm ... until I'm satisfied to endure three months of not doing this"
You could see how Suta's eyes became empty of emotion at the thought of how others would see it.
After a few seconds more people began to arrive in the room that only had room for 30 people, there is no order to choose the room to present the exam.
When the people arrived, they all had their attention directed to a couple which was Suta and Lux.
"What envy! I also want a thigh pillow "
"I also!"
"Damned bastard"
"I hope and an artery will break for doing that"
It was the murmurs of most men similar to that as they watched Suta jealously.
Suta became restless and his tail showed as he began to shake slowly.
"I would also like a servant like that!"
"His tail has to be very soft, I envy!"
"What animal is him?, I want one as a pet"
Lux pulled out her bust with pride when she heard the comments while smiling.
* SFX of the door opening suddenly *
"Please stop playing the exam start"

When the exam time ended, everyone left the room with different types of encouragement.
The next phase of the exam was to show control over your own element.
The test was conducted off-site in a secluded place which is like a coliseum and there are several test dummies and a table where the examiners will sit and rate the control of one.
All the young people in the place were silent, waiting for their turn.
"Go through the number that touches you" The only woman of the examiners said to then make a spell and begin to appear land numbers in front of each person.
<27 ... Lux 14 and Lisa 15>
"Say your number, full name and element"
"Number 1, Shinji, Water Element!"
"[Manifest]"
Shinji put his hands together to then separate them and show a bubble of water which had no signs of instability.
"Next!"
They went one by one, some made extravagant actions to stand out more when they manifested their element, until it was Lux's turn.
"Number 14, Lux Grinford, Dual Element, Fire and Air"
"[Manifest]"
A fireball appeared in Lux's palms, but suddenly a strong breeze of air would turn into a mini tornado of fire which turned until it reached a mannequin and burned it a little.
"Next"
"Number 15, Lisa Grinford, Electrical Element"
"[Manifest]"
Lisa pointed a finger at the mannequin so that after a lightning bolt shot towards the dummy and left a burn mark.
After the demonstration of Lux and Lisa, the examiners were not very surprised and continued to do their duty, but on the other hand, the following young people who passed also tried to use their Elements to hurt the mannequins.
But that was not easy to achieve as they did, you can only use the element in its base state to attack which complicates it a lot, you do not have enough mana to do much damage beyond just making your element appear.
Then it was Suta's turn.
"Number 27, Suta, Ice Element"
"[Manifest]"
Suta raised his arm to then launch.
* Tut * * Tut * * Tut *
At the same time, a sound sounded and all could see how three ice crystals were stuck in the three mannequins.
The piece of ice was thin enough not to be very visible and still resist, the three pieces of ice were nailed where it would be supposed the eyes of the mannequins.
"Next" The examiners remained static before what happened.
But if one looked at the leaves in front of the three of them, one could see how each one qualified the young person who passed, some had an E or a C, but there were only two S's on their leaves which belonged to two people.
