Chapter 3 - Prologue : Part 3

Finally, everyone was done with the test, and only I was left.

(how now?)

I pointed my wand, not a magic wand but an ordinary wooden stick, at the target and said 'somewhat magic' towards the stone, but strangely the stone was burning with fire, and the examiner immediately assessed it. The question is, who shot at the rock? It wasn't me for sure, but looking closely, someone with red and long hair on the roof did it, only I didn't get to see his face.

(Is he trying to help me? Is that Eva? I don't think it's because Eva's hair isn't red. Whoever it is, thank you very much for helping me…)

"Sorry sir" I said

"Yes?" said the examiner

"I can't do it" I said

"What? Isn't that enough magic?" said the examiner

(didn't he see there wasn't a magic circle I took out from my wand and didn't see someone shooting him from the roof? But what was the person on the roof helping me for? )

"I-Is that so.." I said

"Now, all of you return to the hall and wait for further instructions" said the examiner

"Okay"

As soon as my group and I got to the hall, I looked briefly at the roof of the building earlier, but I didn't see anyone there. As you all know, I can't do magic because Eva never taught me. So I plan to study magic once I've been accepted as a student at this school. If about the reason Eva lied to me, I'll ask Eva after the announcement of the test results. That's my current plan.

When we arrived at the hall, and it was already evening. All the examiners had a meeting beforehand and asked us all to wait for the results of their meeting, and we waited for them until it was almost midnight. Many of us were noisy because of the length of the meeting being held by the examiners.

(Why is it taking so long? Even though I want to ask Eva immediately)

After waiting a long time, the examiners finally finished their meeting. The examiners immediately walked to the stage of the hall and stood there. When all the examiners were standing on the hall stage, one of them stepped forward as the chief appraiser. The chief appraiser was the professor who was my examiner today as well. The professor said.

"Thank you all.. for taking this test. We apologize for the lengthy discussion we were having. I as a result of this announce 20 people who meet the qualifications into this school" The professor said

Everyone was nervous about the announcement.

" If I am chosen I will get married"

"Don't make flags like that, stupid."

"number 1 is Platina Cheilos right?"

"isn't it Vanessa Scarlet, huh?"

"You idiots, take care of yourselves first, right? What if you are not selected?!!"

" my father would be furious."

Yes, that's correct. I can't worry about other things that I don't know whether I will be selected. The person on the roof did help me, but I still don't know the score I got from the magic test.

For example like this, if I get a 100 on the written test but 0 on the practical test, then the two scores will be added and divided by two then, it becomes 100+0=100:2 = 50, my score will be stuck at 50, and result in me not passing because the minimum score must be 70 which means I have to get a score on the practice test which is 40 so my score will be 140:2 = 70 even then my name is likely to be eliminated by other people because there are lots of chances for people to get 70. So at least my magic test score is 80 and above. If that happens, my name will likely be safe, especially since I was helped by the person above.

(Thank you, good person ….)

Then the chief appraiser continued his announcement by saying.

"Everyone listen to me carefully! " said the chief appraiser.

After he said that, many ignored his words because the hall was very noisy, and to break up the atmosphere, the chief appraiser raised his wand and chanted a spell.

"ርክብ ንፋስ (Wind communication)" he said while pointing his wand up.

After the chief appraiser's magic had been completed, the ceiling was suddenly filled with wind that cooled the room. After that, the chief appraiser said

"Okay, now all of you can hear my voice clearly, so we will continue with the calling of the chosen people and the people I have called according to their ranking. Whoever is called, please come forward," said the chief appraiser.

Due to the magic just now, the chief appraiser's voice became even louder as the chief appraiser's voice was aided by the wind that reached each of us' ears.

(please call my name)

"Platina Cheilos"

Clap clap clap (sound of applause)

"Vanessa Scarlet"

Clap clap clap (sound of applause)

(I thought their names came out first)

It turns out that what I was afraid of really happened, so my name wasn't called from start to finish. I don't know why. Did these appraisers know that I couldn't do magic or not? I don't know. If they find out, I can't do magic, I must have been caught because a witch must be able to do magic. If he can't, it means he is an intruder from the world of Tara Shabate (Ordinary Human). So this proves that they don't know. So what I can conclude is...

(EVA)

At first glance, this is all EVA's fault. Because her never taught me magic and lied to me that magic can only be learned when we are 12 years old. Plus she as the principal, has the authority to do so. So this is all EVA's fault.
