Chapter 4 - My new companions

This line is sooo long.

I thought while I was watching hundreds of people queue to enter the crystal academy.

-And that I arrive early...-

But hey, now is not the time to think about that.

Look around me.

There were dozens of children accompanied by their parents, some were nervous, others impatient, and many more excited.

-Dad, which group will I be in?-

Said the boy in front of me.

-Well, knowing my son you will be in group A-

Speaking of groups, they are divided into A,B,C and D.

Being the academy financed by the empire and the three kingdoms, they give a high quality of life to their stars.

That is why everyone wants to be from group A, because they give you a residence and economic support.

Well, it's obvious that the perfect me would be in group A.

Time passed slowly, so slowly that I almost fell asleep standing up.

-Following-

Ugh, it's finally my turn.

With drool in the corner of my mouth I walked forward.

Whoever searched the students was a hard-faced gentleman.

I think it's time to use that ability.

-Name...-

Reach out and touch the gentleman.

Handling!

-Alex-

-Place of birth-

-The capital-

-Parents-

I stopped for a moment.

-I do not need them-

And so the questions continued, the guard never asked me for identification, or questioned me, manipulation is powerful.

-Take this document and go to that building, there will be the test-

Following his word, I started walking towards the big building on my right.

As I was walking I received a telepathic communication from Shina.

'Your majesty of her, we have found a group that seems to be heroes'

Shina is currently in the Terl kingdom with Red.

'Have they been escalating rapidly?'

I asked for.

'Over the last month they have leveled up rapidly, currently they are around level 40'

'Kill them quietly'

I said mercilessly.

'To the order'

'Remember not to understate them'

After finishing the communication I reached a large room.

In it there were a large number of people surrounding the center, in which the test was being carried out.

Currently there is a red-haired girl in the center, in front of her was a crystal ball and an evaluator.

The girl put her hand on the crystal ball and it began to shine.

The ball changed from green to blue, then purple, and finally red.

-Enter group C-

Said the evaluator.

This is how the children passed little by little until my turn came.

-Alex-

Confidently I stepped out of the crowd and stood in front of the ball.

-Put your hand on the crystal ball-

Following the evaluator's order I put my hand out.

I'd better control my mana, just enough to get into class A.

While acting the ball began to shine.

First green, then blue, purple, red, orange and finally yellow.

-Enter group A-

When the examiner said that, the people began to applaud.

It seems that those in group A are rare enough to warrant it.

When I returned to the crowd I felt how the eyes of the others were fixed on me.

-Which family will it be?-

-He is the third to enter class A-

-He is so handsome-

That, keep praising me.

Time passed and before I knew it it was night.

In the end, only 6 people, counting me, managed to enter class A.

-Those from class A follow me, the others wait for them to call you-

Following the examiner's order, I began to follow him.

On the way I observed the other 5.

One was a blond boy with blue eyes, he seemed like the typical protagonist as he gave off an air of arrogance.

Another was a redheaded boy with a friendly face.

Two others were a pair of identical twins, they only differed by the direction of their pigtails, one to the right and one to the left.

The last person was a pink haired girl who seemed just as arrogant as the blond boy, if not more so.

It's basically a cliché group.

The 6 of us headed towards a room in which they invited us to pass.

Instead it had a simple but beautiful decoration, in the center there were several sofas and a table with snacks.

-Wait here-

The examiner left.

I went to one of the seats and took one of the chocolates.

It was surprisingly good.

The others followed my lead and sat down one by one.

-A pleasure to meet you all, my name is Brad and I am the son of Duke Hosfer of the Terl kingdom-

The first to speak was the red-haired boy.

-I'm Elena, daughter of Count Liam, a pleasure-

-I'm Emilia, also Count Liam's daughter, a pleasure-

The twins introduced themselves, Elena being the one with the right ponytail and Emelia the one with the left ponytail.

-I am the first prince Jerd, son of King Alton of the Iue Empire, I am destined to be the best so I expect his full cooperation-

The blonde, as one would expect, presented himself as a total bastard, I wanted to break his teeth just by listening to him.

While I was thinking about that, I got a message from Shina.

'Your Majesty, the Order of the Rose is close to the alleged heroes'

Shit.

During the last 2 months I was researching the strength of the kingdoms, thanks to that I got information on how to proceed.

The Order of the Rose are the royal knights of the Terl kingdom, each averaging level 70.

'They seem to be doing a routine exercise, but it is strange that they are close to the alleged heroes'

'Leave them alone for now, don't act unless you're sure the Rose order won't get involved.'

'Understood'

-I'm Aurora-

The pink-haired girl just said that and shut up.

I guess it's my turn.

-I'm Alex, a peasant from the Pord kingdom, I hope you treat me well-

I prepared my generic presentation and gave a natural smile.

-poof-

As she expected, the arrogant blond laughed, the twins stopped looking at me and the pink-haired one looked at me with contempt.

The only one who gave me a smile was the redhead... I think his name is Brad.

-You have the honor of being in the same class as me, it's obvious that you spent all the luck of your life-

Said the idiot blonde.

I just gave him a smile.

He will be my first victim.

I summoned some magic onto my finger and cast it towards the little prince.

I hope you suffer.
