upon arriving at the city. Henrietta came out from the run down carriage and spoke in high tone.
"we are here?!"
her appearance was no different from a homeless person since both of them escape the city.
they didn't know what happened after they left since both of them was run as fast as it could from the enemies.
roach who was driving the carriage which it looks like it was about to collapse spoke in a low tone.
"Teresa, this is where we part ways. I hope we meet again and also thank you for saving me back there."
roach smiled happily to Henrietta. before he lose consciousness. he knew he was saved by Henrietta before he hit the hard wall.
he knew as a simple soldier will kill him once he hit those hard wall but thanks to Henrietta's dead puppet. he survived from death.
he never ask why he was survive and wake up from dragged by Henrietta.
he was just thankful that he survived.
"but roach, I didn't do a thing."
"hahaha.... are you kidding. if wasn't for you am dead by now besides it not like I didn't get something."
on the broken carriage. there was a stocks of food and gold coins inside. before they escape. they tried to find a functional carriage and when they saw the carriage which the merchant use. they didn't think back and use it.
they only look at the back when they already left the city. to their surprised. it was stock with food and cold coins causing both of them to became a filthy rich.
although both of the split the gold, roach took the food since the village he was living was getting hard since it almost winter.
"I hope you get pass Teresa."
"thanks roach."
as roach leave Henrietta. she couldn't help but sigh.
"finally am here."
....
in the entrance of Soule academy. the woman who was inspecting Henrietta ask.
"I don't know what happened to you but you sure are lucky today."
"really? why?"
when Henrietta ask. the woman in front of her spoke in a low tone.
"the academy's enrollment will end today. if you are late just one day. you will not getting in the academy in fact. you have to wait in 3 years to get one."
when the woman told her this, Henrietta's lips twitch. she was really lucky because if she was late. then it will be a matter of months before she will be discovered.
but since she already in the academy. even if her father finds her in the Soule academy. he can't do anything since the academy didn't care in the politics in fact. if they been force too. they are will to fight back if they force their students to drop out.
of course it will be a different matter if they drop out willingly or there performance didn't meet the instructor's expectations.
"anyway, welcome to the academy. but before you will be an official students you have to pass the test first."
"test?"
when she said test. the door from the back open itself and the woman spoke in a low tone.
"once you entered here. the test instructor will meet you but be warned. you also not the only mage will enter the testing ground but also warriors."
"warriors? isn't this a mage academy?"
"yes, it is the mage academy but there are also warriors that wants to use magic and became a magic warrior. besides this academy didn't discriminate warriors or peasant to learned magic but some of the nobles do so. although there are such nobles. the academy was strictly forbid such fight unless it settled in arena so you don't have to worried. in fact. once they found out theirs a fight. the academy will punish them to the point they have to start from the beginning so be careful."
as Henrietta nodded. the woman smiled and said.
"since you understand please enter the room."
as Henrietta understood. she entered the dark room without hesitation.
upon existing the other side. she saw many people in one big room.
most of the people inside are nobles and warriors but one thing surprised her was how big was the room was.
in fact, this place was big enough to fit one football field and from the side of it. there are countless sits.
when Henrietta sit on the top. many people look at her with indifferent gaze. the reason was she was wearing a rag cloak and her dress was too dirty. in fact. she looks like a homeless who doesn't belong here.
but Henrietta didn't care. she already used to be look indifferent since it wasn't her first time.
in just a couple of hours. the man who wears a blue robe walk towards the center of the stage.
this man has a long white beard but all of them including Henrietta knew that he isn't a ordinary person.
"looks like there are many people are willing to enter."
as the old man playing her beard. he then start talking.
"ladies and gentlemen. I am Lenny, the administration of the Soule academy. and am here to see if you are qualified to enter this academy. it didn't matter if you are a homeless person or a son of the king as long as you possess mana that's enough for the academy. but be warn, the academy was the best of the best. if you people couldn't even satisfied your instructors. then you people didn't deserve to be in this academy and you will kick out. but don't be look to bad. you can still tried again even it took you a old age understand?"
when everyone heard him. some of the old people couldn't help but grip their first hard. this old and returning people are willing to throw everything in order to rise or be strong.
Henrietta was no exceptions.
her eyes are burning in fashion as she was will to crawl in mud to enter the academy.
"well since every was ready. then let's begin the test."
