"Name?" The old woman asked my name. From her looks, someone agitated her. Now she is taking it out on me.
"Noir Spectrum," I answered to her. My last name was just a made up information suggested to me by Master since I don't have any last name at all. Spectrum is another word for Prism. Which means, I represent the Dark Prism secretly.
The old woman lifted her eyeglasses and scanned me. Her emotions were suddenly far from anger. She told me, "You look a lot like someone who entered this gates the very same day. Are you siblings?"
"Who?" I made my question dumb to prevent suspicion though I know who she's talking about. It's Ro. She also is attending this university and going to go to the exam. I'll be able to meet her there. Once I find her, I will get her to enter the Dark Prism. I am satisfied with completing my missions with my long lost twin.
"Her name is Ro Papillon. You know her?" she questioned me.
"No. Sorry, but maybe I'll be able to meet her at the examinations." I successfully made my answer stupidly too.
"Well then. Meet me at Room 101-Golden Section. I'll be your coordinator." She reported to me and I thanked her afterwards and walked to where the Caro and the others are standing.
"Caro, are you going to be on Room 101, too?" I asked her.
"I'm reminding you, No, that you should call me Mia. I'm Mia Roberts as of today," she whispered to me with a mix of irritated feelings.
"Sorry. I forgot. Then answer my question," I replied.
"Unfortunately no. This will be the first time I won't be watching your lame magic go on berserk." Caro criticized.
I snarled at her, "What is that for?! You are just jealous because my magic is much much useful and rare than your common Water creation magic."
The girl suddenly smacked me in the head and punched me in the face. "You wish!"
I'm beaten up before taking the exam. Why am I always such a weakling to her even if I have such a higher status than her. Huhu. Nevertheless, this day won't be the worst since I can see my sister with me at training later. Ha! Oh, I really miss you Ro!
***
We have arrived at our examination rooms. Caro was seperated from us and has a exam in the neighboring room while I am with Mick and Rav in Room 101. By the way, I just remembered that Master mentioned that a Dark Prism member would also joining us, but he ain't need to take an exam anymore since he has been a spy for a long time undercovered as a student. Master told me that he is the same age as me. If my level is the same as his, then I would get a higher chance to be his classmate.
Mana power is leveled in our exams. They classify what type of magi we are and what class we should be in. Sometimes people that have reached the average level, 20, can graduate. People who tend to reach a higher level than 20 can possibly not go to school. However, some with lower mana power don't even attend but the higher authorities still persuade them to attend class in at least one of the academies in Prince City. Despite that regulation, since the Dark Prism members aren't captured, they have the ability to decide if the will enroll or not. But for me, I will only do this because of Ro.
"Welcome to the Entrance Exam. I advise you all to stay focus and concentrate your magic on this test or else, if you get a Level 7 and below, you are going to go to the training facilities that spoon feeds you." The old woman recommended. "You can call me Ms. Perida, a homeroom teacher of Level 18."
"Level 18 huh? The most common age of magi that gets to that level is only sixteen to seventeen," Rav told me.
Mick added, "But I heard that someone from the Dark Prism that was going to accompany us while attending is on Level 18. I wonder who he is. And he is just thirteen years old. Amazing!"
"Really?" I couldn't believe it. A person with such large mana power? I am interested to meet this person. With my mana power and training, I'll be sure to enter Level 18 or higher than him. Ha! What about Ro? Has she improved, even a little bit?
Ms. Perida announced the first to take the exam. "Ro Papillon. Please step forward."
Wait a minute... Papillon? She's really adopted by the enemy? Geez. Ro, you are putting yourself in danger. What are you doing? You didn't even come to find me back in the forest nor the orphanage. Please forgive for leaving you that night too. I thought that it might be the reason why you didn't come home six years ago.
"Ro Papillon?" Ms. Perida repeated again, but my twin still didn't show up. What are you doing Ro?!
Suddenly a portal gate opened and Ro came out of it flying when a familiar face pushed her to the stage where Ms. Perida is currently standing.
"Lucas, what are you doing here?" she asked. "The classes are ongoing. Are you telling me that you have been skipping classes again while I'm gone?!"
Now I see. Lucas Dreskar. He was the childhood friend of Ro's. She treasured that boy very much that on our seventh birthday she secretly made a meeting with him that night. She thought that I didn't knew so I left her and headed back to the orphange. That night, it was because of me and him that she didn't came back home.
"This brat has been making trouble. I've brought her here on time, did I?" Lucas stated before yawning.
Ms. Perida was angry again. Now I see, again. That is what is making her day like a volcano early in the morning. She scolded him, "Lucas Dreskar, if you won't go back to your-" Suddenly, he disappeared with his portal gate that made the old woman more furious. "Lucas!" She took a deep breath and calmed down. She called looked at Ro, then tried to find me in the crowd. Finally, when her eyes have darted on me, she called me too up on stage. Ms. Perida told the both of us that we will both be examined at the same time because of her furiousness, she wanted the examination to be finished quickly.
As soon as the old woman left the stage to let us perform our best magic spell and be acquainted, Ro looked and smiled at me. So, did she forgave me?
"Ro," I called out her name.
"That's unfair. You know me but I don't." What did Ro mean? Is she joking? "What's your name?"
