"Congratulations, the 10 of you passed the tests and are now Students of Magic Academy, line up and come forward to test your attribute and affinity. Mr. Pio, why don't you come forward.
The guy called Alex Pio went up, put his hand on the orb, a few seconds later a light began to shine, Brownish with a tint of red on the side there was a bar filled with brown until reached the 5th start while red only reached second star.
"Not bad, 5 star Earth affinity and a 2 star fire affinity, my advice would be to specialize in earth or merge the two with earth being the primary one, Alright next."
there were a total of 7 stars, to reach 5 star was considered very talented. not to mention he has dual attribute which can be even stronger if used correctly.
before long the tiger boy went up, his name is Lucas Pires, he put his hand on the orb and almost instantly it began to glow in 3 different colors, you could see, Dark, Light and something that looked to be changing the light length but not the color.
The examiner had his eyes wide open, '5 star space affinity, 4 star Light affinity, 5 star Dark affinity, a genius amongst geniuses' "ahem, so, 3 attributes with each high affinity, I am not capable enough to advise you, I'll inform the director on this matter." The rest looked at Lucas like he was a monster, in a way he was, a monstrous genius that is. triple attributes with 3 rare ones at that and high affinity with each. A diamond that lacks polishing and the academy is here to polish it. Ray was feeling a bit jealous, he knew very well that they were both not in the same league but he was also aware that talent makes up only half of the accomplishments while hard work does the rest.
"Next up Mr. River, please come forward."
Ray went up the crystal machine before putting his mana into it, in a matter of seconds it lit up in a single light, it was very white, for those not looking carefully, they will miss the thunder crackling in the middle.
When the examiner checked the affinity he was shocked he took a moment to take a deep breath and double check it. The rest of the examiners and examinees were also dumbfounded.
"Light attribute, 5 star affinity, Lightning attribute, 6 star affinity." Ray was also shocked, he didn't expect his affinity to be so high. Truthfully Ray's lightning affinity is not weaker than those with 7 stars, that is because of the mutation it had gotten, if they used machines made to test archmages, they would have found, but as of now, neither Ray nor the examiner knew of that, except for one person, Ria Augus knew that his lightning had a mutation, she was very sensitive to lightning and she could feel that it was not weaker than hers.
"Next up, Ms. Augus, please come forward."
Ria went forward, put her hand on the orb and instantly it was crackling with lightning, unlike Ray's white lightning, hers was Red, like the color of blood. The examiner must have gotten numb from surprises so he just heaved a sigh and announced the results.
"6star Lightning attribute, 6 star Fire Attribute"
Ray was once more overwhelmed, 2 6star affinities, even he could not compare to her in terms of talent.
In the battle phase, everyone with a slightest bit of common sense was able to see who the strongest were, so they all surrendered their fights against lucas Lucas, Ria and Warren and Ray, who did not fight the 3 of them so as to not draw too much attention to himself, therefore he took the 4th spot while the others fought amongst themselves. in the end Lucas claimed first, followed by Ria and Warren.
"Alright, go to the secretary at 7 in the morning to get your dorm key and room and information about your classes. dismissed."
...
.....
'This is so fun, I just wish I could touch her ears without having her misunderstand' Ray was looking towards Ria, well, towards her ears to be more accurate. 'Forget it, we need to focus on the classes, also I need to make so money fast, 6 years equals 30000 Gold, that much money is too much for us to pay, they probably sold something or took a loan from somewhere, I would call them stupid if I was not a father myself, a parents love truly knows no boundaries, they are even better than my previous parents, i am blessed having them.'
"Ray! how did it go, did you get in?" Aaron ran towards him the moment he saw Ray exit the examination ground.
"ofcourse, I got 4th place, with a 6 star thunder affinity and a 5star light affinity."
"6...6 s.star? Are you sure?"
"Yup, the teacher even told us out loud."
"HAHAHAHAHA" before long everyone looked at him like he was some kind of clown, but that did not stop him from hugging Ray and sprinting towards the hotel, leaving behind a crowd that had no words to even describe the act.
"Ria, how was the exams?" a middle aged man with bunny ears came towards Ria, he had the same green eyes, but his hair and the fur on his ears were grey. He looked very kind, only those that know him will know that this man is not to be messed with, Syrus Augus, nicknamed, The Devil of the Forest, no one dares to challenge him on his turf, because of his strength, the bunny tribe has managed to secure their safety for the last 500 years.
"Father, I got second place, Prince Lucas Pires got first." Ria seemed a bit down saying that, It was easy to see because her ears were dropping over her face.
"Ah, no wonder, well, that is fine, just focus on your classes. the expedition is in 6 years, if you find anyone worth training, try to get them on our side."
"Yes father"
.....
"Lucas, anything interesting?" a middle aged woman came towards lucas, she did not lose out to Lune in terms of beauty, Dark black eyes, blond hair with black striped ears, brown skin, Mew Pires, named after the first queen Lyn Mew, She rules over the tiger tribe ever since her husband passed away and under her lead the Tiger Tribe is now second only to the Bear Tribe in terms of power.
"Mother, there is someone." Lucas said as he looked at the spot Aaron took Ray to.
"Oh? do tell." Mew seems to be very interested.
