“It's been ten years since we last met. I'm sure you've grown a lot.” Said Mr. Merlin.
“I-iya sir, honestly I did not expect to get a chance like this. Thanks to you, mr.” I tried to be polite and glanced at Brother June.
Brother June looks rather surprised. It seemed like confusion wanted to say what in front of his idol. But unexpectedly Brother June introduced herself calmly.
“It's nice to meet you Mr. Merlin the great wizard. It is an honor to meet you. My name is June Cordelia. Teacher from Alvin Carlos, the boy you gave the opportunity to be here.” Speak brother June by posing like a noble saluting.
“Ah June, I haven't seen you in a long time. You look unchanged at all.” Said Mr. Merlin.
Hearing that, Brother June looked confused. “Eumm.. apologize sir, but this is the first time I met you.”
Mr. Merlin chuckled at the words of Brother June. “Truely too, you never saw my old appearance this yes.”
Merlin snapped his finger. Instantly his body seemed to be twisted by something quickly and turned into a younger looking person. With glasses of blonde hair and a thin beard on his chin. Her clothes became more casual with a long-sleeved white shirt and a vest and tie.
“How? You recognize me now?” asked Master Merlin with a faint smile on his young face.
I was surprised to see such a drastic change. Mr. Merlin really looks very different from before.
I saw Brother June. And just like me, he looks surprised. Even beyond my surprise. His hands seemed to tremble and his face was expressionless as if in disbelief. With a stutter he opened his mouth.
“Pa-pak teacher Wiz?” ask brother June not to believe it.
“Absolutely. Long time no see June the Elementalist. My best student.”
The watde? Best student? And what is an Elementalist title??? There are still many things I don't know about
brother June!
Hearing Mr. Merlin's words, Brother June seemed to blush in embarrassment. “Papal praise is too much.”
Mr. Merlin laughed again. “Of course not excessive son! You are one of the holders of the elementalist title! I'm glad you're here now. I didn't think it turned out that you've been a teacher of nak Alvin. It is only fitting that he can perform amazing magic in his youth.” Mr. Merlin looked at me. “You've learned from the best teacher son!”
I nodded with a smile confirming Mr. Merlin's words.
“Oh, soon the entrance exam will begin. For Alvin, you will I move to the front entrance of the hall where the exam will take place. And for you June, I'd like to have a little chat. There's something I want to talk to you about.”
Me and Brother June nodded in understanding. But I wonder what Mr Merlin and sister June would like to talk about?
“Oh yes, you need it.” Merlin snapped his finger. And the light immediately appeared on my chest. The light solidified and formed a pin stuck in my collar.
“For what is this Mr Merlin?”
“To enter the exam, you need that pin. Actually all have got it when re-registering, but because you I called, you did not have time to re-register.”
I put on an understanding expression.
“Oh yes son, my grandson also signed up, he might have trouble getting along. So I hope you can be good friends with him.”
“Will I try.”
Mr. Merlin smiled happily. “Well then, I'll see you again son! And don't call me Merlin when I'm in this shape. Just call me Wiz.”
I nodded back. A moment of light appeared at my feet and in an instant I was in front of a large hall entrance. I let out a breath of relief. It turned out that in front of the hall door was a bit crowded and everyone was busy looking ahead. I appeared behind the prospective disciples who were marching into the hall. It is also seen that some people who wear uniforms organize the ranks to stay neat. It seems that they are students of this academy.
I was in the back row. From here I can see the social divide that has already begun to occur. In the first row, it looks people who wear fancy clothes and act like a boss. And on the back look people who look ordinary. And it was also evident from their expressions that they were a little insecure. Naturally, most of the people here were nobles.
“What's up? You don't need to be nervous.” I told them.
To my surprise, all of a sudden those people paved the way for me. And I did nothing.
“Eum…. Please sir. You can be in front to pick up the sequence number.” Tell one of them.
“Josh this you guys.” I let out a long breath. Then I used magic [Item Box]. Instantly appeared before me a black hole the size of a basketball hoop and inserted my hand. Then I picked up a shirt that didn't look too fancy but still looked polite. After that I used [Change] magic. A low-level magic capable of making the wearer change his clothes quickly. In an instant the clothes I just picked up were moving quickly around my body and my clothes changed and my pins were now in the collar of my suit vest.
The prospective students who were in the back row just fell silent to see me. They seem a bit surprised.
“Now you don't have to be nervous about me. I'm not the one who's bothered about trivial things like the degree of matter. It's okay I'll be at the very back.” I clearly.
Well, anyway I came last. So it doesn't matter.
After that incident, they did not look nervous anymore. But still they look a little bad to me. Until the moment I got my number, they didn't try to talk to me.
“Your last one yes.” Said one of the test managers.
I nodded in agreement. The manager handed me a piece of paper.
“Switch mana or spiritual energy on this paper.”
I took it and poured my mana onto the piece of paper. Instantly the paper decomposed and became grains of light that pointed towards the pins in the collar of the vest I was wearing. Instantly the pin turned into a number.
“Your massage number 1010. You can enter and sit or stand anywhere as long as it is not in the middle of the hall. Because that will be the place for the test. While waiting you can watch the exam until your name is called.” Obviously the officer.
I nodded in understanding. “Thank you brother.” I entered the hall too.
The hall I entered looked more like a football stadium in my previous world. The hall consists of a large field made of fine concrete and has a large magic circle drawn on it. On the side there is a seat that circles the field as much as 10 levels.
Everyone who was there lined up neatly in the middle of the field. In front of the line was seen Mr. Merlin standing facing all the disciples with his young form. He gave a welcome to all the participants.
“Good morning kids, welcome to Goldendawn. Today is the day for the Goldendawn entrance exam. Only half of you will escape from here. It could even be less. But I hope you don't get discouraged when you fail. There is still a chance next year and you can fill that one year by training yourself. Because there's urgent business I can't linger here. All will be continued by your upperclassmen who become officers for this exam event.”
After saying so, Mister Merlin instantly disappeared from everyone's sight by using [Teleportation] magic. Everyone fell silent and all felt like there was less and Susana became a bit awkward.
“Ehem...” One of the officers tried to melt the atmosphere and started explaining the procedures of the Goldendawn entrance exam.
“Alright, I will give instructions about the test to you. In this hall, we have installed a high level of space and time magic to manage the time inside this room. The running time in this room is 10 times slower than outside. So if the time has been running for 1 hour here then the outside of this room just passed 6 minutes. You are not allowed to leave the room until all this exam activity ends.”
Waw, I didn't expect the test to be done like this. But it is only natural that 1000 applicants will be tested and will definitely take a long time.
“To eat you all have been prepared by the academy so that you can enjoy as much as possible while waiting for your turn or waiting for this exam to end. You are free to do anything other than interfere with the course of this exam. Anyone who does something that triggers the disruption of the course of this exam will be immediately disqualified.”
Hmm.. Hopefully this free time does not cause problems.
“And now for his exam ordinance, every 5 sequences of 1 will be called upon to demonstrate their best magic or fighting ability for a maximum of five minutes in front of the examiners who are none other than the one who will be your teacher. There are 10 teachers who will test you at the same time. The results will be announced 1 hour after the exam ends through the pins that are on you. When the pin is destroyed, you are declared a failure. And when the pin stays intact, you are declared pass.”
With magic all can be as practical as that huh. It will be over in a day like this.
“Last for warning, don't dabble in stealing pins from passersby. We will easily know the truth. So much and good luck.”
All applauded after the attendant finished explaining everything related to the exam. Honestly this is really great and I'm really pounding. I wonder how magic and other people's fighting abilities are.
Finally the Goldendawn knight academy exam began.
