"Cecil."

"Lucia."

The two promptly reported their names. Gla.s.ses foxboy noted down their names and began a lengthy explanation.

"Okay, Cecil and Lucia, my name is Gregory. I"m a 2nd year in the academy"s Mage Division. Let me explain the registration tests for you. Here we have two types of tests, the Spell caster"s test and the Fighter"s test. You may choose to do both or just one of them. Spell caster tests are broken down into 3 sub-tests, namely, Magic Apt.i.tude, Stage, and Mental Capacity. Fighters are divided into 2 sub-tests, Mana Affinity and Mock Combat."

Cecil and Lucia were listening with rapt attention. Seeing as there were no questions, Gregory continued.

"For the Magic Apt.i.tude, you will be tested on what types of elements you can properly wield. If you already know which ones they are, please notify the examiner at the beginning of the test. Every examinee will be required to use a basic level spell of the element they are most in tune with. The Stage test, as its name implies, will be simply testing your stage level. The Mental Capacity test will decide whether your talent as a spell caster is of an adequate level to be admitted to the academy. This test is the most important and failing the test will guarantee that you will not be enrolled in the academy regardless of whether you do well in the 1st two tests."

Gregory paused to take a breath and then he continued.

"Moving on, the fighter"s Magic Affinity test will test an examinees magic affinity, which element they are in tune with and then the examinee will be required to use the most basic body strengthening technique of the element they have most affinity with. As for the Mock Combat, as the name implies, you will be having a mock battle with a C cla.s.s monster that will be chosen at random. There will be an imposed time limit on the battle. The examinee can either defeat the monster or hold out until the time limit is reached to pa.s.s the test. If you are incapacitated, fall unconscious, or if your life is about to be be in danger, the examiners will stop the battle and you are deemed to have failed the test."

Cecil and Lucia had gotten the gist of it. It was pretty easy in their opinions.

"If there are no questions, than please decide which test you are going to take."

Cecil and Lucia looked at each other and said in unison.

"Both."

"Oh? Let me reconfirm... You two are taking both exams?"

"Ye~es" Lucia said with a laugh.

Seeing that carefree smile, Gregory asked again.

"Are you sure you want to take both exams? The consequences of failin–"

Lucia had no doubts and was confident that she and Cecil would pa.s.s such an easy exam with flying colors. So she cut off Gregory before he could finish.

"Just sign us up already. I"m hungry from all the waiting!" Lucia was indeed growing hungry, so she wanted this to be over with.

Although the two didn"t know that you could take both the division"s test, they knew one thing that was for certain. If their grades stand out, then they"ll be placed in a top cla.s.s in the academy.

There was no need for them to lay low in the first place, so why not hurry it up with the test and finish with top scores?

They were here to learn so why not compete to get better resources and attention from the teachers and instructors with their high entrance grades.

Gregory was at first offended with the careless comment, but when he was about to reproach them, the words that he was about to say got stuck in his throat.

He didn"t see any arrogance or ignorance from the two, but instead what he saw was an ironclad confidence.

"...Okay, examinee No. 1560 Lucia and examinee No. 1561 Cecil will be partic.i.p.ating in both the Spell caster"s and fighter"s examination!"

Gregory gave the two a plate that had their registration numbers. After that, Gregory turned towards the cat-kin female that was beside him.

"Katka, lead them to the 2nd floor, room SF01 and SF02."

The catkin girl who kept silent the entire time seemed uncaring, but even she was astonished with the unshakable confidence that Cecil and Lucia exuded.

She didn"t debate and simply said, "Okay."

"You two, please follow Katka to your examination room."

The cat-kin, Katka, beckoned the two and they followed her up to the second floor. There were plenty of rooms at the 1st floor so it puzzled Cecil and Lucia that they had to have their examinations on the 2nd floor.

The crowd of people who were lined up saw that a 2nd year student was leading the two towards the 2nd floor. It caused a small discussion between the people who were still in line.

"Hey, those two... are they taking the tests for both the fighter and spell caster division?"

"What? You could take both?"

"Hahaha, must be them not having enough confidence in clearing one of them so they decided to take both!"

The last comment caused a small uproar of laughter between the people in the lines. The ignorant laughed while others stood their deep in thought.

A female lizard-kin with golden locks and horns looked towards Cecil and Lucia who were now walking up the stairs to the 2nd floor.

"Hmph... didn"t think there would be others like me."

Other people would be ignorant of the matter, but not just anyone had the guts to take both exams.

If you decided to take both exams, you could not fail in either one of them. If you fail in one of them, the academy would deny your enrollment, but you could still try again next year.

However if you failed in both, then the academy would not you down and you would be barred from taking any future entry exams.

The discussions continued

"Hahaha! I might as well take both too!"

"Hey... isn"t there a rumor that if you take both exams, you"d be barred from retaking any future entry exams?"

"Huh? Then those two?"

"They"re either stupid or they don"t know this."

"Hmph... Ignorant fools."

The last comment caused a small commotion in the line.

The bunch of ignorant gossipers turned towards the person who b.u.t.ted in on their conversation. One of them immediately flared at the small girl who insulted them.

"Say that again pipsqueak!"

The person who insulted them earlier was the same lizard-kin girl with golden locks.

"Like I said, you"re all ignorant. Only people with confidence would take both exams. Not like you fools who aren"t confident enough with your own abilities to pa.s.s even one of the exams!"

"Grrr... why you!"

"NEXT!"

The girl with the golden locks stepped forward and reported her name to the student who was manning the desk.

"Elizabeth Arks. I"m taking both tests."

"arks?!"

The student quickly became nervous and hurriedly jotted down her name and quickly went to escort her up to the 2nd floor.

"SF03, that"s where you"ll be taking your e-exam! Y-your hi–"

The girl quickly cut him off before he could finish.

"Enough! Just lead me up."

"Y-yes!"

The people who caused a ruckus earlier quickly became silent.

"S-s.h.i.t! She was a royal?!"

"D-d.a.m.n... the p-princess actually came to enroll too?!"

"Ohhh s.h.i.t man... you"re so screwed!"

The earlier fellow who raised his voice at Elizabeth Arks quickly started sweating. He was scared that he might have offended the princess.

"NEXT!"

The uproar didn"t settle anytime soon since everyone in line discovered that a royal was actually taking the exams with them.

Even the students manning the desks were hyped up a bit and started working faster.

Cecil and Lucia were already at the 2nd floor and they ignored all the commotion downstairs. They quickly reached their individual testing rooms and entered.

"Cel! Finish quickly alright! Let"s hurry up and go have lunch!"

"Yeah..."

Lucia quickly entered her room. Just as Cecil was about to enter his, he saw another person arrive on the 2nd floor.

It was the princess, Elizabeth Arks. Cecil took a quick glance at her.

"Oh... she"s taking both exams too? Weird, she looks like a lizardkin but she has horns? Haha cool, she looks almost like a dragon."

Cecil thought that she looked really cool, so he brazenly kept his gaze on her for a bit before walking into his room.

Elizabeth took notice of Cecil when she arrived on the 2nd floor. She also saw him sizing her up.

The gaze caused her to pause and just as she was about to glare back, the foxboy unhurriedly walked into his exam room.

"...Hmph..."

She scoffed and walked into her own room.

Inside room SF02, Cecil took a look around and saw that it was empty. It was about 100 square meters in size, not too large and not too small.

On the side there was a long gla.s.s window with 3 people inside. Cecil walked up to the window and waved at the people.

The old lady who was in the middle spoke up and her voice rang in the room.

"Examinee No. 1561, Cecil. We will now begin your exam. The first exam will be the spell caster"s Magic Apt.i.tude test."
