Waking up, I slowly opened my eyes and began to remember that I first had a shameful test for talent for magic, then renunciation of the heredity of the throne, sent into exile, veiled by sending to the academy, it already passed the test for a swordsman, where it turned out that I was chosen by the gods by those who left this world.
After that, receiving a mark from this very goddess and a change that was both physically possible and magical about the last one, I was not sure and it all happened in one day.
I felt uncomfortable in some unusual way today would end, but I had nowhere to go, sighing, running my hand over my temples, I got up and went to the shower. After I got myself together and realized that it was inconvenient to keep the hair in the state in which it was, they climbed into my eyes and blocked the view, I began to look for how to fix them; length.
Without hesitation, I looked at the things in which I arrived, taking a raincoat, I tore off the lower part and tied my hair in a ponytail. Of course, I understood that this was a primitive measure, but it was better than running around the academy looking for a hairdresser early in the morning.
After making sure that I was getting ready, I left the room, closing it and went down to the first floor, on the first floor there were a lot of stufans, they were dressed in different clothes, someone was a magician, someone was a swordsman, I looked at the emblems a little but did not notice the same ones, did it mean that everyone had Stufana had his talent? Yes, that is exactly what it meant. After looking around, I decided to listen to what they say to each other, it might clear up any of the three tests that will be applied in the distribution.
- Have you heard people say this year there will be an unusual distribution? - Asked one stufa another who was standing next to him.
Both stufans were from the magical wing and if I'm not mistaken both were talented one was a tall stocky man with short hair and dark hair the other was an elf with long bright golden hair.
- What did they come up with this time? - Asked annoyed elf interlocutor.
- The first stage will be a one-on-one battle, the second stage will be a test of age and talent, and the third is a monster hunt. - The man replied in a thoughtful voice, looking around.
And here is the first problem that I saw for myself. The age test was not dangerous for me, but the talent test will reflect on the stone that I am a harbinger of the goddess Ges or, as they call the cursed swordsman now, I need to somehow talk with Ama`Layne, the rest of the tests were dangerous, but not so nervous I didn't plan to draw attention to myself I was too weak.
After listening to their conversation, I began to understand how the academy is arranged, it was not the dean who told me this, not that strange professor whose name I did not even recognize. If you want to attract the attention of big guilds, or even royals or imperials, you have to be in the top ten, which was logical. But unexpectedly, there was a requirement to penetrate the catacombs at least twice before the red moon, of course.
The red moon meant that all monsters from weak undead to liches became many times stronger and more aggressive. After the war of the five races, some of the lands were abandoned and some of the most powerful monsters settled there to maintain their number, guilds were hired who went on raids to those lands to kill certain individuals.
After standing for a couple more minutes, the door to the dormitory opened and the professor entered, he was dressed in a magic robe, which meant that he coughed loudly from the magic wing, waited until all the conversations subsided, silently nodded, looking around at everyone and for some reason fixed his gaze on me, surprise flashed through him, but then he hid it.
- I am glad to see that you all got up and none of you overslept, today we will have a class distribution, what does it mean for you, the stronger you and your class, the more you will receive currency and the opportunity to take part in the tournament of six academies. - He began to speak in a calm but loud voice.
- The distribution will go in stages, the first stage you will fight one on one, magicians can use magic swordsmen weapons, the second stage is the verification of your actual age, yes, we understand that you provided documents, but this will be a confirmation recorded by the academy itself. The third stage of hunting for a monster, all of you who pass the distribution will be teleported to the hunting grounds where you will need to score on your own or in a group to score the number of points in two days, do you have any questions? - The professor asked, looking around at everyone, seeing that a couple of hands had risen, he nodded so that they could ask their questions.
- Will the fight only take place between us or will we also fight against the girls? - Asked the light elf blushing slightly from his question.
- Stupid question stufon, you will fight both against each other and against girls, we will not be able to see your talents if we distribute you by gender. - In a cold voice, the professor answered the light elf's question why the elf began to try to move behind the other stufons, but no one wanted to take his place.
- And if we do not pass the first and third stages? Will we be enrolled in a weak class or how will it happen? - There was another voice, as I could see, many nodded at this question, not finding who asked it, I just shrugged my shoulders, waiting for the professor's answer.
- You will not be accepted into the academy if you do not pass any stage, the academy does not charge you for admission to the academy and training more questions? - The Professor asked when he saw that there were no hands.
- Since there are no more questions, follow me, I will take you to the distribution. - The professor said opening the door and went along the road leading away from the academy building.
