I woke up and changed into a black suit for the parents coming later. I quickly ate and I didn't see any of my professors. I then went to the headmaster's office and knocked on the door. He opened the door and I saw that his hair was very unkempt.
"Ah, Remington, what brings you here?"
"I wanted to ask when the parents are coming later." He laughed.
"I guess I forgot to mention that they're coming from 12:00 to 5:00 and I also forgot to mention that a few of them are bringing their children. Would you mind telling the other professors?" I shook my head (A/N: He didn't mind). I went over and told all the other professors, which didn't take that long until I made it to Jade's room. I knocked on her door. She opened the door and caught a glimpse at her room covered in hundreds of different types of flora.
"Are you the Herbology Teacher?"
"Shhh, yes I am, and I'm also the alchemy teacher. So what do you want?" I told her about the parents coming later.
"Okay then, bye." As I turned around I felt her grab my sleeve.
"And if you tell anyone about this, I'll tell the king and have your head." Right, didn't she say she was part of the Royal Guard? And she's just doing Herbology? I would behead anyone who let that go out.
"Don't worry about it Jade, though I doubt you could behead me if you couldn't beat Ferro." As I turned back to say that I could see the tips of her ears for now red.
"T-That was… just a sparring match. I could've clobbered her!"
"Sure… Anyway Bye!" I ran off before she could 'clobber' me, I decided not to tell Ferro about Jade. I walked outside of the Academy and looked at a metal cage filled with 100 chickens though it could fit dozens of times more than that. I guess she was sorry that she wasted most of my time and built it herself. I should talk to her about it. But first…
I looked around at the giant place in between the entrance of the school and the road. How am I going to fight more than one person? I've got it, I closed my eyes and started sprouting versions of me from the floor with Earth Magic. You can change the color of elements with Magic but most people don't waste time. But in the end, I had about 100 identical clones of me. I used my Magic to lead them toward the forest. Although it would be quite taxing to control 100 of them at the same time I'm not just anyone. (A/N: Earth Clone Jutsu!).
I went back inside the Academy after masterfully figuring out my problem. I decided to go up to Ferro's room and knock on the door. She opened it.
"Hey Ferro, did you make that pen without me?"
"Yeah, I did sorry I didn't tell you about it. I wanted to give you more time to figure out what your part of the exam would be. Did you figure it out?" I nodded.
"Follow me!" I walked outside and stopped walking next to the road.
"I don't see anything..." I brought out my Clones and Ferro was dumbfounded.
"That's ridiculous, just how much mana do you have!" I shrugged. I sent them back to the forest.
"Are you sure you're going to keep those Monster Chickens here? You might scare some parents." She laughed, and I caught a glimpse of her sharp teeth again.
"They're called Chuchu's and you don't worry about it." She lowered the cage with Earth Magic and closed over it. What person decided to name those monsters Chuchu's.
"Aren't they going to suffocate." She made a tiny hole and pointed it out for me.
"Sure, they'll definitely live till 5:00." With my part of the Exam done I went back to my office and grabbed a book titled 'Dangerous Monsters and How to Kill Them'. I opened the book and flipped toward a random page. It was about an 'Abominable Yeti'. It had a bit of an illustration and even graded the monster in comparison to the strongest Monster that he's found

An overall B. Although I'll probably never find one it's good to know a bit about it. I read a bit more till I saw the clock on the wall tick to 11:50. I quickly went to the entrance and stood in a line with my fellow professors as the Headmaster waited for all the parents to get here before starting the tour. I shook the hands of a few of them and had the occasional conversation with them. Some did bring children, most of the boys there seemed to be extremely bored and the girls were having trouble talking as they were blushing.
I ignored most of their advances, though one of them caught my attention as they were walking up to the entrance of the Academy. She had long black hair that went down to her elbows and pink eyes… could it really be? I walked up to her and offered my hand much to the dismay of the other girls. Her eyes widened.
"Weren't you the guard at Corun?" I nodded.
"Let's just say I got promoted. Holly let you come to the academy." She nodded.
"I had to prove to my parents that I'm strong enough to go to the academy." She pointed backward and I saw both of her parents that looked very much like her.
"Are you strong enough?"
"Of course! Though probably no by your standards." She started twirling her hair. I bid my farewell as she and her parents went to talk to the Headmaster. I continued to ignore the lovestruck teenagers until I noticed another one from Corun. It was the girl that sparred with Holly that has faded blonde hair and green eyes. I walked up to her and offered my hand.
"Sorry, I didn't get to congratulate you for your match against Holly. With your strong Lightning Magic, you can go pretty far." She swatted away my hand.
"I don't need your mocking." I wonder if the Headmaster could sweep me, killing a student under the rug.
