Chereads / Kage no noroi / Chapter 11 - Registration in the academy

Chapter 11 - Registration in the academy

Amazaki and Kyle head to the gate, where an old man stands with a white beard and a bald head. His face has some wrinkles that indicate his old age, but his eyes are still as sharp as a sword. He looks at the crowd in front of him as if he were looking at a flock of sheep. He stands on a wide wooden platform about 10 square meters near him. A large, strange-shaped stone plaque that barely reaches two meters in length

While Amazaki couldn't contain his curiosity, he asked Cale

"What is that stone?"

Kyle responded as if he was enjoying the conversation

"He is called the judge, and he is the one who evaluates your qualifications to know whether you will be accepted or not, and presents them carefully... Just wait and you will see it with your own eyes."

Suddenly, the old man shouted in a cold, bored tone

"Next progress"

Let a boy come forward who does not have any distinctive characteristics. He seems to have reached his twenties and is clearly showing signs of tension. He says with confidence

"Present"

To begin, they suddenly heard the whispers of those present among themselves as they evaluated him

"I heard it was his third attempt to enter the academy."

"truly"

"Yes, it looks like he might be able to enter this year."

Let the boy go up to the stage and approach an old man so that he can give him some instructions, then give something and then go.

Automatically for stone plate

He places his hand on it slowly while his hands tremble from extreme tension and suddenly light up with one word after another in a blue color, as if

digital board

Name: Mark Zoe

The age is 20

Level: 8

Status: failed

The boy's face became completely purple with extreme despair as he said

"Hey...please sir...I'm sure, just one month...I'm sure I'll reach level 9, please..."

The old man interrupted him with cold words while his bored looks almost made him fall asleep at any moment

"I don't care what level you will be in a month or even tomorrow, as long as the stone says that you failed, the matter is over, and now leave."

Let the whispers of those present begin again

"Ahh... It seems that he failed again. Even though he put in a lot of effort to go from Level 6 to Level 8 in one year, he should be able to do it next year."

"I don't think so. Didn't you see the stone? He said it was 20 years old."

"What do you mean?"

"Have you forgotten that this academy only accepts those between 14 and 20 years old?"

"So it's over for him huh....hmm.. wait look isn't that..."

A girl advances towards the stage with confident steps, wearing a transparent green scarf that covers what is under her eyes. All you see are those cold green eyes that make you feel as if you are swimming in their depths, as if they are endless, and her sparkling white hair is behind her. She wears a white dress that does not completely cover her shoulders while narrowing around her waist and descending completely to her ankles with its blue decoration. She wears silver bracelets on her hands and wears ice-white shoes that show off her toes

But of course, what all these pearly boys care about most is that huge chest and her pure, snow-white skin

Let the shouts begin, suddenly present

"She is Selena Shelvarin, Princess of the Fairies."

"I love you Selena"

"look at me"

While Amazaki says everything to himself

"She seems really popular though and I can see why."

As she advances with calm steps, ignoring all the calls and chants, she goes up the stairs, heading towards the old woman. His features change from boredom to seriousness, so he must be careful when dealing with her because of their alliance with them. Just as before, he began to explain some things, then she gave him something as well, after which she also went to the stone and placed her hand on it with confidence.

Finally, the result suddenly appeared

Name: Selena Shelvarin

Age 18

Level: 23

Status: success

"As we expected from our princess, she is not only extremely beautiful, but also very talented."

However, her cold looks did not change and she did not appear excited. Rather, she returned to the old woman only to receive her dress, then she headed to the carriage that was waiting for her, saying to herself:

"I hope to find information about that stone in this school."

To get in her cart and drive off as if she had just bought something from a store

Kyle suddenly said to Amazaki while looking at his face with a strange smile

"Are you interested in her, my friend?"

He responds directly to him

"Well, I can't say I'm not."

While he completes himself

"She is a fairy after all."

"Hahaha, of course it will be, everyone is interested, but don't you find this strange?"

"What do you mean?"

"As you know, the second princess comes here even though she has far exceeded the level of everyone who wants to enter this academy."

"Don't you think this is strange?"

"Well...she has her plans and I have mine, as long as our plans don't conflict, who cares?"

He continues his words while looking at Kyle with malicious looks

"And you can't tell me you don't have plans of your own, too."

He answered calmly, with the same smile on his face

"I can't argue with you about this...ah, I think it's your turn. Go."

Amazaki advances while his face does not appear to be very serious, then he slowly ascends the stage while he can feel the gazes of the attendees staring at him until he arrives in front of the old man, who looks at Amazaki with strange looks and some astonishment.

While he says to himself

"Why can't I sense any magic from him?...I must be getting old or..."

He says seriously to Amazaki

"Just like the rest, 70 gold coins for the registration ceremony."

Amazaki takes the 70 pieces he had prepared in advance since Kyle told him

Then the old man began to give him instructions

"Go to that stone and simply put your hand on it and it will take care of the rest."

And just as he told him, Amazaki steps forward and places his hand on the stone so that it shines again as before, so that each line after the other appears.

Name: Amazaki Ryuji

Age 18

Level: 0

Everyone present burst into laughter before the stone finished giving the information

"Ha-ha-ha-ha"

"What, level zero...even my nephew is in level one and he was born yesterday."

"If I were you, I would dig a well to hide in... No, wait, I won't be able to do that because I'm at level zero, hahaha."

Voices of ridicule and contempt shouted from all sides, mocking Amazaki. Even those who did not speak could be recognized

The extent of their arrogance and contempt is evident from the disgusted features on their faces

Of course, all beings in this world from their birth are at level 0, and Amazaki's universe is at level 0

It is the first case of the weakest creature on this world for them

Although the old man might have been surprised by Amazaki's exaggerated weakness, this did not stop him from being shocked by what he saw on the stone next

Name: Amazaki Ryuji

Age 18

Level: 0

Status: success

Silence prevailed, and they came so suddenly that you could almost hear the sound of the wind

"Shhh"

"H-This can't be possible right?… I mean zero level and yet it's acceptable."

"The stone must have broken due to the beauty and strength of our princess previously."

The old man screamed, anger filling his entire face

"Silence, you cursed ones. This stone is a sacred piece of the ancient stone of the gods. It has existed since the beginning of this universe, and you say that it is broken."

The attendees responded tensely, with cold sweat filling their entire bodies with one voice

"N-We're sorry, please forgive us."

He sighs and turns to Amazaki and says with a face filled with pity for his condition

"Well, as the stone said, you are accepted to take the test, although I advise you not to come. You must feel that way, right?"

Amazaki suddenly noticed a feeling of killing intent directed towards him by everyone present, but because of this, Amazaki could not hold back his smile, revealing a smile so chilling that the old man felt a shiver run down his spine.

Amazaki suddenly returned calmly, as if he had never smiled, and said to the old man in a childish tone

"thank you sir"

The old man says to himself

"What was that?...Did you imagine that...I must have really grown up for this..."

But what Amazaki was thinking was contrary to his calm appearance

"All these people want to kill me... This is really fun. It must be my birthday. I can't wait to do my experiments... Should I provoke them more?"

Kyle suddenly intervened, calling Amazaki

"Let's go back. We're done here, aren't we? Otherwise, it'll get dark on the way."

He said it with a peaceful smile, but inside he was almost flying with joy

"It seems that I did not make a mistake... something rare like this... there must be a secret behind it... and I love secrets."

Amazaki looks at him strangely while saying to himself:

"I expected a different reaction. If he went and ignored me, it wouldn't be strange, but this... just what is he planning?"

He sighed as if he had lost interest, so they came and went with Kyle to the car

While the two people present discuss among themselves their frustrations

"Damn, is he an acquaintance of the son of the Rockzard family?"

And the other

"And I was the one who wanted to teach him a lesson."

Then one of them walked up to them and said with a somewhat sarcastic face

"Don't worry about him, he won't come anyway, and we also have that task on the test day. Have you forgotten?"

A strange smile appeared on their faces

"You're right hehehe"

While Amazaki was already riding in the carriage with Cale, he asked him out of curiosity

"Why do they give these stupid clothes when we are not real students yet?"

"Well I heard that these clothes contain a transportation charm that will transport you to the exam place when the time comes, so you won't have to go all the way again hahaha that's bad isn't it because I enjoy the views all the way to the academy."

"Well at least I won't take this hellish trip again."

"What?"

"I said the view was beautiful."

"Yes, yes you are right"

..................…..

Then they prayed in front of the inn, and it was already dark

Amazaki got out of the car and headed to the inn afterward, and his only concern was a soft bed in which to spend the night

Kyle calls out to Amazaki as the cart starts moving

"Amazaki, see you later and say hello to Miyuki as well."

But Amazaki was still heading to the inn as if he had not heard what he said

..................…..

And in the academy

"Are there any talents or something rare today?"

A man who appeared to be in his mid-fifties said it sarcastically to the old man who was in front of the gate so that the old man could answer him

"Well… there are two, the first of which is the highest that has appeared so far, at level 23."

The other responds surprised

"What? She is less than 20 years old and has already entered the expert level?"

The old man continues while sighing

"The second is the worst talent and is at level zero."

He says angrily

"What level zero, this is crazy, how did you accept it? But how could this even be possible??

"That's what I said too... but the quarantine has already passed and I can't do anything."

"He accepted it?"

The man put his hand on his chin while saying in an excited tone

"Two rare things in one day. The test this year must be exciting."
