Leon Chronos has been ordered by the king to solely train the New Mages. So he addresses them all of them on a assembly, with a sheet of paper in hand.
Leon Chronos: (Clears his throat) Due to unfortunate circumstances which I'm sure you all understand! Mr Perfect and Gwenevier will be unable to help me train you all, I would love to train you all myself, but I can only choose two Mages! (Leon announces)
Girl in the Crowd: You're only training two Mages?! (The girl asks)
Leon Chronos: No, I'm actually training six Mages. Gwenevier and Perfect both selected two Mages that they felt had, "Potential" (Leon says while using air quotes)
Girl In the Crowd: Who are they?!
Leon Chronos: I'm getting to that! (Leon answers, slightly annoyed)...The mages chosen by Mr Perfect are, Sebastian Tempest and John Crest! (Leon announces)
Sebastian Tempest: Yes! (Sebastian yells as he comes out of the crowd)
John Crest: I never doubted myself (The young man boasts as he also comes out of the crowd)
Leon Chronos: Ok... Gwenevier selected a, Lora Magma and Nina Willow!
Lora and Nina Willow, who is actually the girl asking all the questions. Both come out of the crowd and join the selected group.
Leon Chronos: And my choice is... Hmm.... (Leon thinks as he stares into the crowd)
Nina Willow: Haven't you already chosen? (Nina asks from behind)
Leon Chronos: Enough with the questions Nina! My choice is you, get over here! (Leon yells as he randomly selected a young man from the crowd)
The boy Leon selected walks up to hin with a nervous smile on his face.
Leon Chronos: What's your name? (Leon asks)
Rex Striker: Rex Striker, Sir! Thanks for choosing me. (Rex said happily)
Leon Chronos: You're welcome... Okay, my last choice is... Lance Grey. (Leon said as he looks at Lance in the crowd)
Suddenly there is an uproar in the crowd, as they were upset over the decision.
Leon Chronos: What is it?! (Leon asks)
John Crest: They're probably angry because you chose a coward. (John answered)
Sebastian Tempest: Hey! Watch what you say. (Sebastian said to him sternly)
John Crest: It's the truth, everyone knows that when the Demons attacked, he hid like a coward. I'm just stating the facts.
Lora Magma: You better shut it pretty boy, or else I'll burn that smug look off your face! (Lora threatens)
Leon Cheonos: Enough! You kids are already a handful... Lance Grey is my choice, anyone who doesn't like it, should keep their opinions to themselves. Now get over here, Lance! (Leon yelled)
Lance walks towards Leon nervously, while looking at the angry faces of those he barely knew at the Academy.
Lance Grey: Thank you, Mr Leon. (Lance said with a bow, after finally reaching Leon)
Leon Chronos: You're very welcome, kid. Now join the others...The rest of you should not worry! You'll all be trained when the rest of the Elite Mages eventually return! For now, return to your homes! (Leon announces)
The crowd disperses, and Leon leads the selected group of Mages to a large Locomotive. Which was a transportation vehicle that looked like a train, and was about the size of a modern day school bus.
Lance Grey: Wow! What's that? (Lance asks as he stares at the strange vehicle)
Rex Striker: It's a Locomotive. An invention designed to move people across long distances. It doesn't need to be pulled by horses because it runs on Mana. I'm surprised you've never seen one before. (Rex said with a smile)
Lance Grey: I live in the Common Domain, so we don't use fancy inventions like these. This is amazing. (Lance says in awe)
Rex Striker: The Common Domain. No wonder he hasn't seen one. All Locomotives stations are at the Noble Domain, and must be too expensive for Common folk to afford. The only way he's probably seen one, is when they're soaring through the sky, which wouldn't give many the chance to get a good look. Hope you enjoy your first flight, because I didn't. (Rex thought with a smile)
Lance and the others all enter the Locomotive. And the driver starts the engine, making the vehicle hover slightly, before speeding off into the air. Taking them towards their next destination, which was the Atlas Training Camp.
Next: No. 1
