"You are a one star mage"!!! Hector and Ceaser shouted.
"Shh, don't say it out loud". Iode pleaded.
"How the fuck did you pass those hellish assessment"!!! Ceaser said in a low voice.
"Stickmen and their swearing nature". Iode said in his mind.
Iode has been telling quite a number of people about his shameful secret that he forgot to skip over it when telling Hector and Ceaser.
_________
Outside Iode and his roommates dormitory, a wizard, having blue hair and pristine blue eyes was passing by when he heard Hector and Ceaser shouted.
"Hmm? A one star mage manages to enter the academy? Impossible!! What charm did he use! I have to learn more". He said as he places his ear on the door.
"This place is risky, I can't hear well. He said.
"Someone might see me eves dropping, let me go to the window". He left hurriedly.
Then he halt again and looked back
"Room 108 huh". He said as he ran fast using wind magic. He went to the roof and used wind magic to fly towards the window of room 108.
"Sylvester Invisibae" he said as he turns invisible and placed his ear near the window. This person is Sylvester de Inglid, son of a noble from the Inglid family.
_______
In the room a creek was heard from outside, Ceaser stood up from his bed and went towards the window to check what it was. He saw nothing. He would have sworn he heard something creek from the windows outside.
Iode and Hector didn't hear anything and were just watching Ceaser like "what's the problem"? Ceaser returned to his bed to continuing listening to Iode.
Iode told them he failed the entrance assessment 4 times in the past and it was his 5th try he manages to pass. Hector and Ceaser knew how difficult and competitive the entrance assessment was and were inclined to hear more of Iode's experience. Iode on the other hand had no choice but to tell them.

About two months ago, Rohanes Academy was filled and bustling with aspirant from different localities and kingdoms, there were about a thousand people aspiring to enter the academy. The assessment took place just outside the main school ground, at a field in the outer part of the academy (Rohanes city).
There were three examiners, which stood just outside the crowd. All three of them were from the blue tower, they all wore blue ropes with a badge of the blue tower on it by their left chest.
The examiner which stood at the middle of the three said
"I'm Bradford Nicolson, the man by my left is Magus Graynold Hagin and the woman with us is Magus Sara Baryan, we are your examiners, and this entrance assessment is divided into three parts".
"The first will be taken by Magus Graynold Hagin, the second will be taken by Magus Sara Baryan and I will take the last part". He said as his voice was heard loud and clear because he was using wind magic to amplify his voice.
The title Magus is given to any Wizard who is able to reach the high level stage and stays in a tower. They are just below the Archmage. They are also nobles but above the nobles who stays outside the towers
Now, Magus Graynold steeped forward and said, using the same magic Magus Bradford used to amplify his voice.
"The first assessment is to measure your magical prowess, each one of you will choose an elemental magic spells of your choice to hit those measuring scale over there. The pass point is 10,000 points".
He pointed to the left towards the measuring scales which are equipments that was as tall as a person, has a wide rectangular screen at the top, to show the measurements and a hit button where one will attack. There were about 20 of them placed in set of 10.
This is everyone's first challenge and Iode among everyone, closed his eyes, crossed his fingers and praying to have luck this time.
