Chapter 3 - chapter 3 - Magical attribute exam

Just as Ryujin is about to enter the exam room, A noble and his friends come and bump into Ryujin.

Noble kid's friends: "Hey commoner, do you have any idea who's path you are blocking. Get behind us if you wish to attend the magical school unharmed."

Ryujin does not seem to care about them and ignores the kid.

Another friend of noble: "Hey commoner, how dare you first block the baron's way and then instead of apologising to him you ignore us. Seems like someone has to learn the lesson hard way like that girl from yesterday."

Ryujin realises that these are the people who hurt the girl yesterday on dormitory lobby. Although he is furious, he cannot attack them since it will seem as he attacked a student first and the one receiving punishment would be Ryujin. Suddenly a young man appears and speaks angrily:"You guys know that all of the privileges you had are gone the moment you enter this academy. All that matters in this magical school campus is your rank as a student and how you perform while here. And harming any student is punishable, especially if you use your privileges outside as nobles to harm others" 

People nearby looks towards the man and then starts murmuring:"Look, it's him. 2nd son of cardinal of the east, Ichikawa Takao."

The noble kid is afraid and apologises for the actions that he and his friends took. But internally he develops a hatred for Ryujin. 

Noble kid to Ichikawa:"Sir Takao, please forgive us, this will not happen again, I Morine Iwao promise you that neither me nor my friends will harm anyone here, so please give us a chance and do not report to the authorities. If we get expelled from this school our future is doomed"

Ichikawa:" You should be apologising to the student there and not me. And regarding reporting to authorities, It is up to him since he was the one getting bullied. I do not have anything to say regarding that."

Morine Iwao gets even more angry thinking that Ryujin will definitely report to authorities to get famous by expelling a noble like me. 

Ryujin replies with a cold expression,"it is fine, as long as he does not harm others again I will not be reporting to the authorities."

Morine Iwao gets even more angry and thinks that,"is he showing pity on me?, does he think that he is above the great Iwao family and think that he has guts to order me what to do. I will show this commoner difference in power between nobles and peasants when the time comes."

Morine then walks off with his friends towards different attribute exam hall. Ryujin Then thanks ichikawa for helping him. Afterwards both of them enter different exam halls.

After Ryujin enters the magical attribute exam he is taken to the testing rooms by an instructor. Here instructors explain students about all the various ways they can show their magical attributes. 

Instructor:"You can choose to show from 1 up to any 3 attributes or sub-attributes you are comfortable with, and then you will have to use total of 3 spells to destroy the targets shown there and you will receive a score based on the amount of mana you use, and the damage dealt to the targets. So what are the attributes that you will be using."

Ryujin replied,"I will be using ice magic, fire magic and wind magic." 

Instructor:"Alright, since you will be using ice magic, which is an advanced release of water magic, you will receive extra points for that. Take your position inside that circle."

Ryujin then walks towards the circle and gets ready for the exam. He first performs a magical spell. Ryujin creates a single sword made out of ice using the ice magic, and then throws it towards the target. Ryujin thinks that since this is magical attribute test He will not be able to fight with this sword as a real sword and would rather have to throw it. Instructor is amazed by the accuracy of sword throw and the damage that it did to the target. 

Instructor: "Alright use your fire magic now."

Ryujin uses his fire magic to use a basic fire spell called 'fire blast', which is the most basic fire spell one can use, but even though this is a basic fire spell Ryujin does decent damage to the target. And at last he is instructed to use his wind magic. At this point in story, wind magic is his most refined attribute as he learned it before any other magical attributes. He uses a magical spell that he himself had developed, it creates countless sharp wind currents and damages the opponent with countless wind currents as sharp as swords. He turns the target into countless pieces. The instructor is amazed by the proficiency of Ryujin over the wind attribute. 

Instructor: "Alright, the results of the test will be given to you by midnight using transmission magic, I wish you good luck for 3rd and 4th exams."

Ryujin then leaves the room after thanking the instructor. He goes towards his dorm room to rest for the upcoming 3rd and 4th exams. Since first 2 exams are considered to be very easy compared to the 3rd and 4th exams, he wonders about his plans to pass the remaining two exams.
