On my back, I can feel something eerie then I look backwards, both Nyka and Khald give me a death stare that they want me to strangle my neck using their eyes and some nearby children also hear our conversation feel so shocked that I made an argument to those nobles and cross of words with them.

I gave a dry laugh!

Ha! Ha!

Ned: Why so serious? It's not like we hit each other right? And do you think after this examination, we will run into each other again within this school that has a hundred of buildings with a thousand of students?

And I ponder myself, I believe, I overdo it a little.

Damn! I can't contain my anger, then remember what my father told me. "Be Modest"

Sight! Those arrogant nobles really made my blood boil just like in the past.

Then Nyka and Khald realize and sigh in relief.

Nyka: Right! The school is really huge. You are truly unlucky if we came across each other by chance. And we're not sure if we can go past the exam.

When Nyka started to think the examination, she feels dishearten.

Khald: Why are you so pessimistic Nyka?

Nyka: It's not that I'm not confident to pass, but did you hear last year that only 4 thousand enrollees who passed the exam with an overall 40 thousand enrollees.

Ned: So only 10% will pass the exam. Interesting!

Khald: Good! Hence, only the elites of elite can only enter this school.

Nyka: That's the reason I feel so distress right now. And what is your attitude, you two becomes more motivated. And I hear some other students came from other countries just take the exam here.

Khald: I think I'm going to pass this exam with a flying colors.

Khald suddenly talk in a very confident attitude.

Ned: Do you think so? You almost got hit and beaten by the noble awhile ago.

Nyka: Right! Why do you think that's so?

Ned and Nyka made fun of Khald.

Nyka: Why your face suddenly turns red?

Ned: Yea! Why?

We speak in a sarcastic way. Even though it's only a while when we gathered, we became close a while ago.

Khald: You two really don't make fun of me. I'm proceeding to tell you my secret that's why I'm so confident to pass because, Khald whisper us and told us his secret.

Khald: I can somewhat feel the elements in the surroundings.

Ned: Ohhh! I think Khald you have a talent to become a magician. I can only sense the mana lingering in the environment and I got a glimpse while watching the TV, that you must meditate first to feel the elements.

That's one of the reasons why, I want to enroll this school because they will teach us some magic and how to meditate.

Nyka: So Ned, the reason you enroll here in this school is to learn meditation and become a magician? Hmm! My first impression of you Ned is a warrior, I reckon I'm wrong.

Ned: Nyka, you're not far from it. I nevertheless know how to fight, but my main purpose here is to learn incantation to create magic. If I'm satisfied with myself in magic, It's OK for me to drop out this school, even, without finishing the 3 years to graduate.

Nyka: Ned, If you say it that way. It's kinda sad we had already become friends.

Khald: And most of the students here want to become a mercenary and become famous like a celebrity. Right Nyka?

Nyka: Yes, Khald.

They smile at the same time. And Nyka again been brought back to the reality.

Nyka: What I was saying? We still need to pass the exam.

Ned: Be optimist Nyka! Or you will give out before the exam starts. Have some confidence in yourself, just think you will pass with a flying colors just like Khald.

We three laugh at the same time.

Khald: Yes Nyka have some confidence.

Ned: And also I had a secret to tell you.

The two lend their ear towards me. And I talk so serious.

Ned: My talent in magic is entirely average to tell you frankly that maybe 3 years learning of magic still not enough.

After that we laugh at the same time and we got closer.

The other students didn't bother us from talking even though we talk so loud since they are also talking non stop.

After a while, a white robed with a two officials beside, he stepped forth from the assessment building doors.

Then we totally stop talking. Since we all don't want to receive a repercussion from the assessor and then listen about what he will announce.

The white robed man in the middle stopping in front of the doors, he smiled and said in a bright voice using a mic, “The magical assessment ceremony is about to commence. He then swept his gaze and examine how many students who enroll this year.

Family and friends, please step aside. Only the enrollees can enter the exam area. In every row only 500 students can enter. Others must wait till next day and also no one can't cut in line while I'm here.

What? You never told us.

Right!

If you told us we should come earlier.

Some were shouting because they are dissatisfied, especially some nobles because they are too lazy to stand in line when they're still no examiner around but now it's too late.

Quite! He shouted with an angry voice. His smiling face before became horrid.

You all think life is an easy way? What you wish for becoming reality? If it is before the invasion you can have your own way but now? Hmp!.

Everyone who is here for the test, follow me into the main hall. And he glances the two officials beside him and said, you two must supervise the students.

Officials: Yes, sir!
