The water sprite seemed to be interested in him. It was staring at Yman with its big twinkling eyes.
It looks so cute as it swayed its small head from side to side, and its small finger pointed below its mouth. Seemingly wondering about him. This female water sprite was having long light blue hair down to its feet and light blue gown that well match on her cute figure.
Like a princess, she was sitting on a bubble that was obviously bigger than her body, although this bubble magically did not pop up.
Elder Gatan noticed that one of the water sprites still did not return. He glanced towards the trainees and saw one of his water sprites at the backmost and was in staring contest with one of the trainees.
Elder Gatan narrowed his eyes, slightly interested at that trainee who got the attention of his water sprite.
Yman then lifted the paper in front of him and the water sprite..
Seeing the magical paper, the water sprite was seemingly realized her task. It smiled big at him and saluted, then quickly took the paper on Yman's hand. The water sprite spiraled back to the stage and it handed the paper to Elder Gatan. She waved to Yman's direction before diving into the glass then she turned into ordinary water again.
When all the papers with the information from all the trainees were completely handed back to Elder Gatan, the trainees had been called out on stage one by one.
The first one who got called out was a dime-human with dog ears. He has brown hair and green eyes. With the tall, lithe figure, about 5 feet and 8 inches in height. On his back, a tail with sleek fur was waving downside to side as he walked towards the podium.
The speaker HI Stone De Guz Man instructed him to place his naked dominant hand to the screen surface in front of the big bulb. Then he needed to feed it with his densest mana that he could muster.
After feeding the screen with its mana the giant bulb shone and the color was changing until it stops in bright green color after several seconds.
The elders on stage nodded after seeing the result of what the dog person did. Seeing their nods, it must be a good result.
After he left the stage, another trainee came upon the stage. Then like the first one, he musters his densest mana after placing his naked dominant hand on the screen that was having 12 inches long and 6 inches wide.
The color stop in blue.
Yman guessed that that color represents the element that a magician had more affinity with.
The test proceeded at a steady pace. As time gradually passed, many trainees already went upstage and they deliberately step down after they finished their test, then another trainee would follow to test themselves.
The test results had yet to announce.
The three elders on stage showed different reactions, sometimes they nodded and sometimes just did not.
There was also a time when they had a big smile on their faces, which Yman assumed that that specific trainee had better results than those trainees who came up before her. Of course, because that specific trainee that mentioned was no other than Miss Almina Amulet.
When she placed her soft white naked hand on the screen surface and summoned her densest mana, Yman felt the sun descended. Everyone was awe-inspired at her.
Rather than that, before she even reached the podium many eyes already were stolen by her, not by force, rather by how elegantly lovely stunning she looks.
Regardless, there's a mixture of color on the giant bulb: reddish, bluish, and yellowish that shone brightly. Brighter than those who came up before her.
Yman noticed the widened eyes of the elders after seeing this. One of the elders took a tablet(Elder Paan), might be a magical tool, she scanned on it, and after a few seconds, she whispered to the other elders beside her. Then all of them suddenly showed an understanding looks. But it was clear on their faces that both were surprised and in a good mood.
Yman narrowed his eyes and thought that Miss Almina might not be just beauty and strength. Maybe she was an outstanding person, to begin with.
"Fufu, that's the cool princess for you, she really is an idol wherever she goes." Keremi behind Yman suddenly muttered which caught his attention.
Yman was quite surprised hearing the smiling guy, "do you know her?" He glanced at his back and asked him.
"Fufu, my frog prince —"
"No, skip about the frog prince!" Yman retorted.
"Actually, me, the cool princess, and the blonde came from the same school before coming here in the academy," Keremi told him.
"Really—?" Yman was surprised for what this dude with closed eyes said.
"There was this school that was recruiting children who showed hollow cell symptoms at a much early age," Keremi added.
ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelB(i)n.NET ᴏɴʟʏ.
"A school that recruits children with hollow cell symptoms?" Yman repeated while showing a doubtful face.
"Yes, my frog prince—"
"No, I said drop that way of calling me." He hastily reacted. Then Yman continued, "Regardless, what school did you mean?"
"Elite School of Elementary Magic," Keremi answered directly.
"Hm, Elite School of Elementary Magic?" Bob suddenly middled and repeated Keremi's words.
Bob and Yman had puzzled looked. This name of the school was foreign to both of them. But based on the school name, they must have been taught about initial magic at a young age. In this regard, they were experienced enough before coming to the academy.
Regardless, the bulb showed multiple colors, it also meant that she had the affinity in multiple elements. Based on the color, it must be fire, water, and light.
Yman envied and muttered, "a cool princess. Such a gifted girl, she's almost perfect."
The next who came up on stage after Almina was the blonde girl. Like her, her beauty also garnered much attention from the other trainees. She took her gloves off and after she placed her soft naked hand on the screen surface, it shined as brilliant as Almina Amulet. And the bulb also had mixtures of colors.
The elders were whispering at each other again and showed excited faces.
The test proceeded accordingly. Many trainees already did the test and only a few left. But it still continuing without a hitch.
Some other trainees showed remarkable talents like Almina and the blonde girl. One of them was from the natives, a Demi-Human who was from Encan race, or an elf. She was an astounding beauty with long milky white hair.
There was also another guy who Yman and the others know. It was the cousin of Mai, the guy named Brai. It looks like he acted low-key while traveling but in truth, he also was a rare talent. He also had the affinity in 3 elements. And had high mana capacity based on how brightly lit the bulb was.
Mai on the other hand had 2 element affinity and had normal mana capacity. Same also with Chloe. And the girl who always with Almina.
Bob had the affinity in metal elements and normal mana capacity.
Yman was walking towards the stage. He was excited to know what kind of element he had an affinity with.
He noticed some piercing gazes towards him. But he disregarded it.
"Good luck, my prince!" Keremi's voice reached his ears but he chose not to hear it.
"You can do it, Yman bro!" Even Bob with his loud voice was cheering at him.
Yman made a huge sudden breath before climbing up onto the stage.
Seeing him, Elder Gatan narrowed his eyes. This trainee was the one who was in a staring contest with one of his water sprite awhile ago.
Since the water sprite showed interest at him. He must be not an ordinary trainee.
Almina was looking at the specific guy with a lithe figure and not so tall. He was standing while his back curved slightly. He looks unhealthy from other's perspectives. His messy hair slightly dancing in the air when a light gust of wind passed him.
Looking from afar, he looks like he would crumble with just a little pinch on him.
She noticed him gulped before taking a step on stage. He looks nervous and excited. Silently, she was wishing him good luck. Almina slightly chuckled while looking at him. He looks like he would be going on stage to perform a dance or sing.
When Yman's hand landed on the smooth screen surface, he felt a little chill on his skin.He also noticed some evidence of nervousness from those who came before him. Looks like some droplets of sweat stayed on it.He could hear the noise from his surrounding but he had to disregard them. Their murmurs were not of help to him. He needed to concentrate his mind to summon his densest mana.Like what the others did, he also did what he needed to do. His hand slowly envelopes by white brilliance. Although the other's mana was of bright green color, only his that was of white.And everything happened like a dream....Night came pretty fast to someone unaware and happy. But for Yman, he had a lengthy day!Right now Yman was sitting on the sofa while facing the window of his room from the inside and was looking towards the distance outside.Wearing an old t-shirt. His thin shoulders dropped down at a certain angle.In his hand was a glass of cold water. He felt like, he had the longest day o
Inside the barracks, some people were sitting on the chairs that were surrounding the tables placed near the walls and windows.Most of them were wearing the uniform of Middle Region Magic Academy. Yman believes that they were junior or senior trainees.A pub on their left side caught Yman's attention. They were selling some drinks and food. He never had a thought that there would be such a pub inside this place.He also noticed some of the senior and junior trainees that were fixedly staring at the flat screen located on the right side of the counter. But for some reason, they were staring at it without really doing anything. Their deities were beside them. Some were floating while some were sitting on their shoulders or on their heads.Some people that already inside just sent a glance towards them when they stepped in.. Then returned back their sights to where they were originally staring awhile ago.Their images barely reflected in the dusted white tiled-floors that turned yellowi
"Tsk, if only Lady Ice is here, she will kick their asses," said the voiced one."Right, but it was already had been 3 months after she went into seclusion and didn't return yet," replied by someone."Do you think, her advancement had failed?" Asked the former voice."No way, that's impossible!" Exclaimed the later voice."Right. As talented as her, there is no way for her to fail her advancement," the former voice agreed."Yeah. But unfortunately, she's not here. Now we can't even accomplish our quest. Those fuckers from the other academies won't give as breathing even in our own hunting grounds," the later added with a lack of enthusiasm..Some of the loafers inside the barracks were conversing about someone and something in bitterness, which caught in Yman's ears. Their voices have a lack of vigor. He really was wondering if why the atmosphere inside the barracks was kinda gloomy.He wanted to ask the clerk man. But he decided not since they were seemed to be busy at the moment, an
Prev ChapterNext Chapter When they entered the shop, a "Ting!" sound rang alerting the people inside of some visitors or costumers stepping in.Which followed by, "Welcome kid!" A greeting from a man sitting in a relaxed posture on the back of the counter in a slightly hoarse voice. Which his two legs on top of something and leaning his back on a softback of a chair.But Yman could not see the man's face, because his head that was facing the ceiling was covered by a straw hat. The shirt he was wearing slightly loose up to his chest where the bulging naked stomach as round as ball in full view. And a diety was comfortably cushioning on top of it."Mhm..."Yman just nodded with a little deep sound to his throat. Emphasizing his appreciation from the greeting.."???" On the contrary, Sistela floated near the man while question marks floated above her head as she was staring at the man and his deity with doubt.She might be wondering why such a person had the same body as her. Maybe thi
Yman chose the sword that about 2 feet in length. It was laying beside the silver shortsword.The name of the sword was Gladius. It has a double edge. It wasn't too short and wasn't long at the same time. It cost 350 GP only. Much cheaper than the silver shortsword. And had an additional attack of +15, much lower compared to the shortsword.And weirdly enough, he also bought a spear of 2.5 meters long. For a strategic purpose. It was named as Silver Spear, but only the blade at the tip was made of silver. And the long body stick was made from hardwood, which he assumed was a Demon Wood of rank B+.. This type of wood was unbending and hard as metal.|So, even in this world, such wood also exist, huh.| He thought as he took the Silver Spear with him to the counter, together with the Gladius sword and 2 daggers. Each weapon was of Common Rank only.Even as Yman was in front of the person in the counter, the person seemed to be unbothered and only showed him the total price while lifting
Yman asked Sistela about the current time before they going to enter the Underground Channel entrance.He nodded at her after her reply and reminded himself that he only had 2 hours to finish his intention in this place for the day.But Sistela has seemingly noticed something.Suddenly, her complaint was heard by him.At the moment he was wearing a cloak of black color. It covered his body like a robe. His mouth and nose were covered by a mask to get rid of the pungent smell that might invade his throat. The cloak and mask both had poison resistance.His enemies were poisonous creatures, so, it was only natural for him to dress such a way.. No one knows if when the danger would come. One could only realize a danger after they found themselves in a situation.Yman's lips extended into a smile after hearing her, then he cleared his throat and said: "It's not like that. The air
The Underground Channel entrance located at the west side of the city, under the bridge, and near the river-dam that streaming steadily towards the end. On the opposite side of the entrance, there was a big dumpsite area that could be seen a little distant from the river-dam. The place was known as West District.At the dumpsite, he could see some smokes that were flying towards the sky and resembles the clouds as they continued to hover higher.After Yman stepped in the entrance, he asked his deity to activate the radar.Sistela replied:He said: "It's not sudden. It's better to have a perfect mapping from the entrance towards the farthest area that we can reach." She questioned him.He scratched his face and replied: "Don't worry, we sure to leave the place before it happened.."Hearing what he said, she resigned then followed what he wants and activated the radar without further retorts.But she really was worried if she emp
Yman scratches his head and forced a dry laugh when he realized that the water passage was still too small for the monster to pass through.He remembered what Mrs. Merced (the woman who issued the quest) said to him. That when he reached the dead end, there was a hole where a person can pass through to his left side. But Yman could not see it, the hole that she mentioned.Suddenly, he heard Sistela's call: He then glanced at the map that was hanging steadily above him. He noticed a thin layer of the wall outline. Based on the map, it was located two steps away from his left side."Must be a camouflage." He muttered and summoned his spear from Cyber Storage..He then pokes the part where the thin layer on the map was shown. Yman narrowed his eyes when the wall that looks so sturdy bend inwardly like a piece of something soft like it was made of cloth, a camouflage cloth to be specific.|It's a well-made replica of the wall.| He thought. |But
