Moments ago, Iode was thinking of a way to outsmart Reinhardt, he spotted a sandy spot in the field which was behind Reinhardt.
"If only you were at that sandy spot, well, all i have to do is just push you there". Iode said in his mind.
"Inferno ball". Iode said but Reinhardt stood still and unfazed, he just waved his scepter diagonally cancelling the spell. He casted a spell in retaliation which flung Iode backwards.
"Just take a step backward you twerp". Iode cursed in his mind.
"Ventus flammus". Iode said. Streams of fire went towards Reinhardt and it grew bigger the closer it gets to him. Reinhardt took a step backward and said "Aqua pelta".
"Perfect". Iode said in his mind.
"Ventus procella". Reinhardt chanted as wind pressure went towards Iode, pushing him back. But this time, Iode smirked and said.
"Just where i want you to be, Quicksand".
"Arrrrr". Reinhardt shouted as he sunk into the ground with his head only visible.
"You!! How is this possible". Reinhardt asked surprised.
Iode stood up, walked towards him and smirked seeing this.
________
Presently, Iode, standing in front of Reinhardt said.
"As much as I want to torture and gloat in front of you, now is not the time, i have to submit my quest".
He turned back to leave but he looked back at Reinhardt and said.
"By the way, don't forget, Iode was the one who did this to you, happy failure bye"!!!
Iode waved his hand and laughed innocently at him and left the scene.
"Wait!!! At least take me out before you leave, wait"!!! Reinhardt shouted.
"Bastard, tsk, Iode you say, I'll remember that name".
________
Iode ran quickly, still using his wind magic.
"Almost there", Iode encouraged himself.
In no time, he reached where the assessment is taking place. There, there were about 20 mages apart from the three examiners, they are students of the Rohanes Academy, they are to assist them to inspecting the quest materials.
There were actually quite a few aspirants he met, who were already in the process of their quest being inspected.
"Huff, huff". Iode panted and he went towards one of the assistant mages and gave his pouch to him.
With his dark shaded eyes and contrasting overly pink broad lips, he checked the materials one by one.
"Hmm, why do these Pallrocksivore horns look so old, you didn't happen to know you'll be asked to collect these and brought them from home". He said.
"What, of course not, i would have been caught upon arrival to the assessment ground, and it wasn't even specified whether it a fresh one or not to collect". Iode answered.
The assistant mage looked at Iode suspiciously, but he shrugged his shoulders and continued his inspection.
"Ha, these Triogigantostegos thagomizers look so small, are they from an infant, that's smart, but you'll be the cause of that beast death in the future". He said.
Iode has gotten tired of this man's remark, "just say, i pass and we'll all be happy".
Suddenly the thagomizers grew to its 10 feet size, the assistant mage and everyone present were stunned including Iode himself.
"Wow, you are a low level mage when did you learn shrinking magic, don't tell me you are an advanced level mage who want to enter the academy through the assessment". He said.
Iode laughed nervously he didn't know what to say, it was a dragon that shrunk the thagomizers not me, he wouldn't say that would he?
"Tell me the secret, my mouth is sealed shut". The assistant mage whispered to Iode
"How about just let me go, there are some things one shouldn't know hmm". Iode replied.
"Tsk, you know you could just go to the tower rather than go through this stress". He said. "Anyways, you pass, next please".
Iode couldn't care less of what the assistant mage and everyone present thinks, now is his most happiest moment of his life, after four years of failure, he did it.
"I, I, I, pass? I pass, I pass". Iode face began to tear, he hands were shaking uncontrollably in excitement.
"After four years of failure, my fifth try was a success". He ran out of the assessment area, jumping and leaping in joy. "I finally did it".
