Chapter 13 - The assessment

"you should have told me earlier,Yaa" Gyapong said. "Oh yeah, i'm Sorry, Sorry".

"Are we going side ways here?" Gyapong asked anxiously. "Before that, I will help you find Sefwi-Bekwai school of magic, and after that, we part ways". "Okay, Yaa".

Gyapong and Yaa asked the people on the road; they asked traders, buyers, and even children. Finally, one old man whom wored a black robe wearing a mask directed Gyapong and Yaa to Sefwi-Bekwai school of magic. "Thank you" Gyapong said politely. "You're welcome kid" the old man said as he turned and walked away. Gyapong and Yaa followed the directions the old man gave them and after some time of searching, they finally came to the Sefwi-Bekwai school of magic.

Is this an independent town?, Is this a school?, How can a school be this big?. Gyapong and Yaa stood some distance away from the Sefwi-Bekwai school of magic, looking only at.

"The dream school" Gyapong said to himself.

"I think we will have to part ways now" Yaa said as she turned away to leave. "Will I ever see you again?" Gyapong asked Yaa softly with a sad face. "How can I know?" Yaa said as she run away. "Don't go yet" Gyapong said, almost chasing Yaa, but he stopped. "I just hope I see you again". Gyapong hurried to join a queue in-front of the Sefwi-Bekwai school of Magic's West gate, which is more than 7.8 metres high. A man in a yellow robe with a white pony hair and a white blue eyes stood firmly in front of the queue. The students in the queue were twenty in total; each one of them stood with their parents, except Gyapong who stood alone as no.19 looking around as if looking for a missing crystal.

"Only students' who's level have surpassed beginners level 9 are allowed to join the Sefwi-Bekwai school of Magic.

"What!!?" Most students exclaimed. Gyapong's emotions was the childish.

"If you know you're below beginners level 9, kindly walk away" the man in yellow robe added calmly, opening his arms. "Am I really going to walk away?, master said I was at beginners level 7. I'm not qualified to join the Sefwi-Bekwai school of magic" Gyapong thought, terrified.

"But if you don't know, you can walk forward so I will test your power" the man in yellow robe added. "Should I go?... Maybe those explodings in me had increased my level. Can it be?" Confused Gyapong was an unconscious standing being this time. "And if you're found not in favor of the rules, .....

Without wasting much time, Gyapong slowly turned, and walked out from the queue. "ha.ha.ha!ha!ha!haaaa!has!" Most of the children in the queue busted out laughing. "A poor little thing" one of the children in the queue uttered out. Gyapong heard it and was annoyed, he turned and saw the person who insulted him giving a teasing smile. "Calm down" Gyapong said to himself in mind. The same flame which exploded last time appeared again in Gyapong's inner Spiritual realm, increasing in size and changing in shape. Gyapong had already exerted out his power, when the blue crystal appeared in his inner spiritual realm and cooled him down. Gyapong deeply inhaled the chilling Oxygen and exhaled the hurting carbondioxide.

""I will take my leave" Gyapong said he walked away in fast footsteps. The man in yellow robe nodded in agreement.

Gyapong run to the Sefwi-Bekwai city, walking weekly and carelessly with his head looking down." Why do I always fail?, First I failed breaking through in three months, and master Adowa helped me with his formation to get the breakthrough, though that deep inside power that exploded paved the breakthrough way for me, but if not for master Adowa's ankh formation, would I have being able to get my divine sword?, I learnt secret healing techniques, still why did I only reach at beginners level 7?",

Yaa from nowhere called out loud, "Gyapong!". "Who is calling me?" Gyapong asked as he raised up his head. "Turn around!" Yaa said. Gyapong quickly turned and saw Yaa running to him. "I thought you were to join the Sefwi-Bekwai school of Magic's students selection, what happened?" Yaa stopped when she got close to Gyapong. "I'm a failure, that's what happened" Gyapong looked away. "A failure?. Nobody is a failure, is only when you accept to be a failure will you be a failure Gyapong." Yaa consoled. "No Yaa, am just a failure" .

The passerbys stopped to watch Gyapong's and Yaa's scene.

"Remember the story I told you, Nyarko was born into..

"His is different" Gyapong interrupted. "Guess I will have to go back to my village and train harder" Gyapong added. "No Gyapong, there's a second chance for you...

"You just don't know how am feeling" Gyapong said as he walked away.

"The holy myth tells us that, even the greatest people who we see them as gods failed multiple times than their students did" an old man wearing a black vail who was passing by intentionally said to Gyapong's hearing as he walked off. Gyapong stood, "wait, why do I have the feeling that I know this old man.., wait for a second, could it be master Adowa?, has he being following me all the way here?, master Adowa is not gone, he's still with me, master" Gyapong thought as he turned to look back, but the old man was nowhere to be found. "Master" motionless Gyapong uttered softly. Yaa run forward to console Gyapong. "Gyapong, are you okay?" Yaa asked. It was like Gyapong was powered by an energetic force, all of a sudden he asked, "Yaa, where is your school?". "Emmm, you know, it's been a long time since I came here, so, the road way is not familiar to me now" Yaa said looking away with a beautiful smile. "What?" Gyapong asked wondering.

The passerbys shook their heads and walked off.

Yaa and Gyapong were at Sefwi-Bekwai's main market center (imagine the crowd they caught). A middle aged guy in a brown shirt, and blue trouser holding different types of maps in his hands approached Yaa and Gyapong.

"Have you heard of the Omanhene school?" He asked. "What!?" Yaa asked in a shout. "Why Yaa?" Gyapong asked. All Yaa could do was to shake her head. "Omanhene school is one of the upcoming greatest schools, buy their map and you wouldn't regret it" the man said, given out a small brown map to Gyapong. Gyapong collected the map. "It costs two gold cowries" the man in brown said. Gyapong gave him the two gold cowries within that same minute the man in brown asked. The man in brown's eyes blinked continuously as he looked up to Gyapong, an down to him, collecting the two gold cowries with all his respect. After collecting it, he run away. "Why is he running?" Gyapong asked.

"I have sold a map on an irrelevant school to get two gold cowries" the man in brown said happily as he run off, speeding up.

"Let's head to Omanhene school" Gyapong said to Yaa, as both turned in one direction and walked away.

At the entrance of Omanhene academy, Gyapong and Yaa stood, looking up to the rotten sign board"Omanhene academy".

"Just like we were told...

"Are you coming or not?" Gyapong interupted, Yaa's opened mouth went shut. Gyapong looked around the Omanhene school,"why is this school located in a bushy area?" he asked as he and Yaa walked forward into the Omanhene school. The Omanhene school is very small and well decorated with different types of flowers making the small place look lovely. When Gyapong and Yaa saw the exquisite appearance of the school, they already felt welcomed. The six raised wooden buildings with triangular roofs covered almost all the land. But, the place had the view of a lounge place. Gyapong and Yaa bypassed two wooden houses, feeling lonely at the lounge place. Tired Yaa fell down intentionally,"am tired Gyapong, where are we?..., though this place has a beautiful and living appearance, but it symbolizes a deserted place, is this place a school?" Yaa asked Gyapong. Even Gyapong was confused than Yaa was, but once he was determined to strengthen himself to explore the world, he had a kind of deemed goal to search for a school anywhere he can, to become a student.

"Yaa, I was about to agree to what you just said, but look"

Gyapong pointed forward to an old man standing on the ground with four children.

The children were not that older than Gyapong and Yaa; one or two of them may be that of the same age as Gyapong and Yaa.

"What bring you here?" the old man asked patiently. The look he gave was the most calmness face Gyapong has ever seen. This made Gyapong feel free to speak.

"I and my friend Yaa, want to join the Omanhene school" Gyapong spoke out.

Yaa stood up and walked forward to stand behind Gyapong. The four children gave a welcoming face.

"Aren't you the same people who said Omanhene school is on the brink of extinction hmm?. Why do you same people come to join a non existing school? the old man asked.

The black robe with white collar the old man wored gave him a look of a middle age person. [If not for his white beard, author Gyapong would have written a middle aged man].

"Please master, we are strangers here" Gyapong said, walking forward.

The old man smiled.

"You have the nerve to walk on my land without my permission, aren't you disrespecting?

"Am sorry master" Gyapong stopped. Yaa from behind Gyapong run forward. When she bypassed Gyapong, Gyapong tried stoping her, but he couldn't. "What does she thinks she is doing? Gyapong asked his-self angrily.

"Oh, look who is coming" the old man said as he smiled. "Gravity exertion" [Boom]. Gyapong and Yaa only, were pushed down forcely by the exertion of gravity. This skill: the normal force acting as an upwards force goes down, and the gravitational force acting as the downwards force comes up,exerting down.

"Am sorry, but that's the price to pay if you disobey me" the old man said.

Both Gyapong and Yaa were down on their knees, suffocating.

"Really think this accustomed skill will affect me?, ha, don't play games" Yaa said as she closed her eyes, into her "Identity world".

[Let me use this chance to explain something about the inner spiritual realm].

Naturally, inner spiritual realms are grouped into three types. One is, the by birth inner spiritual realm. Two, sacrifice given inner spiritual realm, and three, the god's successor inner spiritual realm.

Creatures who can go in and out their inner Spiritual realm anytime for cultivation or sometimes go there when they feel like, have the by birth inner spiritual realm. Like Gyapong.

Sacrifice given inner spiritual realm is the type of realm, where either a loved one or blood related one, sacrifices his or her soul identity to their love one. Is when one can get the sacrifice inner spiritual realm.

And a god's successor inner spiritual realm, just like it name, a god's successor can also have an inner spiritual realm.

Above all the three, the god's successor inner spiritual realm is the one with the most powerful environment according to legend. And yes, they differ from each other.

Yaa has none of the inner spiritual realm , but rather Identity world. The Identity world is more powerful than two of the inner Spiritual realm, which is, the by birth inner spiritual realm and the sacrifice inner spiritual realm. But it depends on how well it is cultivated.

Identity world is a world, where one's ancestors bloodline is marked by a God. Identity world is passed down to a person who is seen by the God protecting the bloodline of the ancestors, if he or she is born with a divine soul. If a human being succefully gets the Identity world, he or she is always watched by the God protecting the Identity world. Yes, it's only humans who can have Identity world.

[We will dive deep into the divine soul and much more about the Identity world in the next coming chapters].

In Yaa's Identity world, where her Identity world's body sat in space, twelve golden books was around her, spinning. Yaa's Identity world's body opened it eyes and touched one of the golden book.

Gyapong was about to go into his inner spiritual realm for his divine sword when he heard Yaa shout, "Phoenix first skill, gravity wave, equilibrium".

The gravity exerting on Yaa and Gyapong was burnt by flames from a Phoenix that emerged out from Yaa, crying. The gravity wave skill by the pheonix brought the equilibrium state, and burnt the gravity exertion's power. The old man quickly formed a protective barrier around he and the other four children. Gyapong was lucky, Yaa huged him forming a formidable protective barrier around he and Yaa herself.

The fierce flame spreaded.

"Well done, well done" the old man praised, setting off the barrier around he and the other four children.

Gyapong and Yaa slowly and safely landed on the ground.

Gyapong's hands around Yaa's neck, Yaa's hands too around Gyapong's neck, face to face.

The emotional face on both faces expressed love and shyness. The brilliant blue sky grew more blue with the atmosphere of love.
