After an hour has passed the test has finally began, The Dean orders them to make 2 lines according to their numbers and match up. El finally saw his match up on the other line, Its a red haired boy, he wore a nice leather armor and on the back of his armor an image can be seen, The image is a an orange standing angry bear and El can tell that the image is a symbol of a noble house.
A middle age man then appears and said " I am Shin Blake one of the teachers of this academy I will be the referee on all the fight that will happen this test, I will intervene if one of you will be in danger and of course if I appear to shield you from your opponent's attack it means you lost" he then called out "those who got number 1 step forward" two children wearing a robe steps forward and goes near at the referee and then they kept a distance of atleast 10 meters away from each other."The two of you introduce yourself to your opponent"
The boy on the left then spoke "My name is Ben Klay a Noble from the House of Klay and a 2nd rank ice mage", When his opponent, the boy from the right heard that, anger then flashed to his eyes he then opens his mouth and says "I am Haytham Po a 1st rank earth mage".Ben sneered when he saw that his opponent is a commoner and looks down at the opponent, this should be easy he thought. He surely thinks that this is an easy win for him and clearly he underestimate his opponent.
Shin then says
"3

Fight"
Everyone was hyped because this is a battle of 2 mages. Ben has a fast casting time he immediately cast an icebolt at his opponent, Haytham knew that he cannot cast faster than a noble much more that his opponent is a minor rank higher than him ,he prepares a spell and rolls forward and the arrow flew past him he then jump on the right side and runs towards his opponent.Ben didn't expect his opponent to charge at him, panic then overflow his body and he cast a icewall to protect himself. Expecting that his opponent will break the fragile icewall of his he then prepares to cast 2 icebolt to surprise him. Haytham then use his mana to form an earthcube that atlist half of his size and steps on it and jump,up there he saw his target because Haytham spell then was ready, He then cast a spell a ball of earth then formed and he cast it towards Ben. Ben saw a ball shaped that is made up of soil and atleast have the same size as him was going at him at a high speed, Again panic overcome his body and he couldn't think straight he has time to dodge but he froze there not knowing what to do then suddenly a man appeared in front of him and punch the ball, the ball was immediately been destroyed by that punch then they suddenly heard a voice "Haytham Po wins". Happiness that is the one word that can describe what Haytham feels, then he suddenly passed out because he consumes almost all of his mana reserves,that ball required a lot of mana and he bet everything to that ball of earth to win. Ben suddenly tries to protest but one look from Shin and he immediately backed away and change his mind, He was scared he thought he was going to be killed from that look, he runs away crying he will not stop until he met his parents , He wants to get out from here. The Dean carries Haytham and placed a white emblem to his clothes before giving the child to his parents waiting outside. Haytham's mother saw the emblem that was put to Haytham's clothes, The parents cried and they carries Haytham home, they were very proud of their child and from now on their life will probably change after Haytham study on the Heart Academy.
The test continues but Ena was very bored , She doesn't want to watch this kids fight she wants to watch her brother win and it's been 2 hours and it's not El's turn yet the two number 73 is still fighting and the both of them didn't want to give up. After a few minutes and the number that will fight will now be the 74 the two children steps forward,one of them was a girl while the other was a boy, both of them are warriors,they then introduce themselves to each other "I am Kayle Velasquez a 2nd rank warrior" the girl introduce herself,she has a brown hair and her clothes are very plain and simple, The boy then sneered and shows a mocking look at his opponent "My name is Set Hit from the House Hit a 12 years old 2nd rank warrior" the boy also has red hair and he also wears a leather armor wich is quite unfair but the referee didn't make him undress the armor
El saw the bear image on the back of the leather armor it was the same image that can also be seen through the armor of his match up.
When Shin announces the battle ,Kayle immediately charged towards Set, Set then prepares to do his power punch to Kayle but the move of her caught him unguarded because when Kayle close the distance she duck and grabs a few dirt and throw it at Set's eyes. Set was blinded because this is the first time he saw a person fought like that he was caught unprepared .Kayle followed up with a kick to the feet to trips her opponent and Set balance then shattered and he falls on the ground. Kayle attempts her final move, she then put her arms around Set's neck and locks it with her other arm after a few seconds Shin then intervened and announce Kayle's victory.
El was amused at the fight this is also his fighting style when he fought his bullies back when he was a student on his previous life. He was proud ."Dirty moves is always be effective when used on the right time" El thought
