Chapter 12 - Going to school again?

Acyuta: T-T-Test? What test?

Tasha: The test for the entrance exams. Why else would I bring you here? We'll be heading to Crafts Academy, that will be the place you'll be enrolling.

Acyuta: I didn't expect to be sent to a school after getting out of the mountains. I don't even know what I'm supposed to do?

Tasha: No problem, firstly, the thing that you'll be tested on is your magic aptitude. Then you will have to be checked on your health and physicals. Lastly will be your I.Q.

Acyuta: ...

Tasha: Quick and easy. I'm pretty sure you got what it takes. I was beaten by you, What to speak of the Camouflage dragon you killed.

Acyuta: What happens if I don't want to be part of the Crafts school. ( What will happen if they learn that I'm from a different timeline, That I may probably be older than most people in the world. )

Tasha: We can always drop you off here and we can go our separate ways.

Boya: WOAHHHH!!! Big brother, you can't go. We won't be able to play and go on adventures.

Acyuta: ( I don't actually have anywhere to go. ) I was just saying, the truth is I don't know much about my current situation. Crafts Academy may very well be the only way I can move forward.

Tasha: Ha! I thought as much. You enrolling is beneficial for you, and I get benefited as well. I will be able to get points.

Acyuta: Points?

He looked at the kimono girl, she seemed really, really happy at the mention of points. What are these points for? Acyuta didn't know but he was sharp enough to figure out that it had to do with the school system. All scholars that attended Crafts Academy obtain points to get certain benefits and such. If there is points then to obtain these points can only be earned by for filling some sort of condition.

'This will be good to know, it will be beneficial to me at this particular time.' Thought Acyuta, the Shell vehicle took a right at a four way stop street. Car was moving much slower than it was outside the city. Traffic here was the same as it was in the twentieth century. For the group, it was much more convenient. Others had normal vehicles, as for the beetle shaped car, it was 'shell'.

After a little while, the car moved out. It appeared to be traveling away from the city. In actuality it was getting closer to the Crafts school. The academy for the magically talented. 'Was I magically talented?' Acyuta asked himself.

How could he be magically talented, He was born a normal human. More so, the him right now in this era had a power completely different from magic. Acyuta had the feeling that his power was similar to that of ghosts, especially those vile spectres from the death valley. That guess is yet to be confirmed, his gut feeling was telling him it was true but the possibility of that happening is practically zero.

Tasha: Yup, points! They very important in Crafts Academy, points can be exchanged for weapons, ingredients or even other materials. If you can accumulate enought points, it can save your life.

Acyuta: Save one's life?

Tasha: Ha! Of course, with enough points even a teacher's decision can be changed. Hm, but who will be able to accumulate so many points, that has never happened.

Acyuta: I. see.

A school with a merit system was unlike anything he had experienced. Acyuta's thought process was still in the correct path.

When Acyuta was in school in his younger days, certainly the school had a merit system. Even though it had a system no one gave it any importance. Those merits didn't give any benefits, the school itself had forgotten about the merit system that it implemented eventually.

While thinki g about his own circumstances, Acyuta remembered that the group he was in had four members. Nikita sat on the backseat of the car, she was very quiet except for saying a word or two when she is interested. In this form of her's, Nikita appeared quite timid unlike the werewolf form that was over the top. Acyuta turned back to face her.

Acyuta: Are you entering the Crafts school too?

Nikita: I'm... already enrolled.

Acyuta: Is it?

Tasha: She has special circumstances. She didn't have to undergo entrance exams, the school recruited her.

Acyuta: So it's just me then?

Acyuta felt a little nervous, it was brief but the concern of still stood in his mind. He may be attending school again. School wasn't the highlight of his previous life but now he had the opportunity to redo school and get some good memories for himself.
