In front of Jason was the admin registrar. She was a fair lady, having a golden coloured hair.
" You are?" The registrar asked Jason.
Coming back from Dreamland, Jason replied her " Jason Jaliel is my name".
" That's great" she replied. " Is your town or village under Sir Philip's rule? " she asked again.
This spurred up anger in Jason as he didn't want to be associated as a citizen of the very man who ordered the death of his father. But what could he do, to get into the academy, he had to say it.
" We are under Sir Philip's rule" he replied her.
Writing down his name and other essentials, she raised her head up towards him.
" Go to your left, and you'll see a black door. Get into the room once it is your turn and you'll be tested to see if you are qualifed to be in the academy" She explained to him. " In the meanwhile, your guardian should stay here to take you back in case you aren't qualifed" She added.
" Thanks" Heron said. Turning towards Jason he said " Go in there and do your ultimate best to qualify and enter the academy, when that is done mum and dad would be proud of you" he said finally.
" I'll qualify, don't worry" Jason said.
" Before I forget.. " the registrar interrupted " How old are you? " she asked referring to Jason.
" um.... " he thought. He hadn't really been keeping track of his age. " Yeah.. I'm fourteen" he said.
" What a young boy" the registrar said.
Jason made his way towards the door by his left, and on getting there saw a line of about 29 kids making him 30th.
Suddenly his eyes caught someone..... Greg. " What the hell is he doing here?" Jason asked himself.
As if Greg knew, he turned his head and stared at Jason giving him a smile before entering into the black door.
" It seems like he's going to be a student, my bad luck is just so much" Jason thought sighing.
After waiting for 30 minutes for the twentynine people to finish their evaluation, he walked into the room nervously.
In the room were 5 people all in high seats above him, and a large field where he was standing, but the room was very dark. It was as a result of his newfound power that he could see them.
" Try your best to qualify" came the thick voice of one of the invigilators.
Immediately, arrows began to fly at him from all sides, this wasn't a problem for him to dodge as he could even see them.
Dodging the first, he grabbed the second and used it to block another. Then he lashed out a kick towards an arrow changing it's trajectory to the invigilators but it never reached the man.
He was done with the first test and moved to second stage. On the side of the wall was a timer, he was asked to scale through all the dangers in time to reach his goal, the certificate of acceptance into the academy.
He suddenly rushed in at an amazing speed.
SWOOSH!!!!.
An arrow flew towards him and pierced his back, it seemed he was too much of a hothead. He removed the arrow and dodged another before jumping towards the certificate.
" KID!!!!!" JUDAIS shouted in his mind. " Don't use your powers or you could risk being exposed" Judais told him.
Heeding to JUDAIS'S advise he ran and finally reached the certificate.
" Congratulations" one of the invigilators said, this was way too easy, I think you need more" the invigilator added.
" No" objected another. " It would be wrong to do so, he would be admitted like that, it was his luck that he was strong" the opposing invigilator said.
" It was the same with the others, strong kids are coming up this evaluation must be changed" The first invigilator said.
" Yes, but not now" another said ending the bickering.
Jason was asked to walk towards a particular orb
" Place your hands on the ball, an your energy level will be determined. With that, you'll be placed in a rank.
Jason did as he was told....
" Don't transform, remain in your normal form" JUDAIS said.
Obeying JUDAIS, the ball read 5.7del.
" Impressive, you are placed in rank 4" an invigilator said.
There were 5 ranks in the academy.
Rank 5- 0.5del - 2.9del
Rank 4- 3.0del- 5.9del
Rank 3- 6.0del- 8.9del
Rank 4- 9.0del- 11.9del
Rank 5- 12.0del- 15.0del.
This was amongst students and so far no one has reached rank 5. A wristwatch was placed on Jason's hand showing his stats and rank.
" You have been admitted" a voice resounded in Jason's ears
