Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Entrance Exam Part 05.
After Mary issued her instruction, all of the candidates were lined up, following behind her like a duckling, especially the boys. Their destination was on to the next field beside the current field they occupied, which was separated by the black curtain that stood in line, forming a mysterious space.
After passing the black curtain, inside was the same new field that had a tapered white line that stretched, forming a rectangular space that resembles and is the size of a tennis field. On each side stood rows of a round wooden table with a transparent sphere on top of it, and many female students were standing behind the table who would help to assess the candidate's ability regarding magic.
All of the female students, who Soma assumed a seniors like Mary, were wearing the same school uniform, which consisted of black blazers, white shirts and black skirts. Still, those uniforms had been covered by a black robe, showing that they are the students who take pride in their pursuit of magic.
Mary, as the leader of the group, stop her track in the middle of the fields and turns her back to face the candidates. The moment she faced the candidates, some of the males in front saw her alluring gesture. Their heart fluttered in joy. Witnessing her swaying body and the fragrant scent of a woman entering their nostrils made them hot in the face.
Mary, who was facing them, noticed the boys captivated by her, and she chuckled, seeing their cute reaction.
"Fufu, okay, everyone, attention please! As I mentioned before, in this place, we will conduct our second exam, and that was to examine your Magical capacity or MP and what element affinity you had. Without further ado, let's start. I will call you using your number, so listen carefully first…".
She took out a rectangular tablet that was filled with the display of the current status of the candidates, then shouted one after the other the number of the candidates. There were fifteen spheres on the field, then fifteen candidates were called, and each of them now stood in front of the transparent sphere that stood on top of the wooden table.
One of the male candidates stood in front of the sphere, fidgeting with a hunched back, looking restless by putting his index fingers together.
"Don't worry, candidates, all you need is to put your hand on top of the sphere, and it will assess the MP and what affinity element you have automatically. So, give it a try".
The female senior opened her mouth with her clear and crisp voice, trying to guide the young boy to do his exam carefully and managed to calm the restless boy. As the final key, she flashed him her blossomed smile that revived the boy's spirit. With a renewed spirit, he nodded his head and slowly extended his right hand before resting his hand on top of the sphere.
After the hand of the boy touched the sphere, the sphere flicked its crystal clear appearance, and its color changed darker and turned into a faint brown color.
From what Soma could recall, the color that came out from the sphere would show them what affinity a candidate has toward a certain element. Red is for Fire, Blue is for Water, Green is for Wind, and brown is for.
"..Congratulations, you have an affinity with earth magic and your mana capacity is 50. Thank you for being so cooperative. Please wait in the corner over there, for you guys will be transferred to the next exam that will be held in another field later. I hope you succeed".
The female senior informed the boy what his affinity was, and the boy who heard loosened his facial muscles as he beamed with joy. He bowed his head a little before leaving the place, unlike the boy who leaves the place with his head held high.
There is also a candidate who keeps her expression not faltered, for she already knows what her affinity to an element is from the status window she currently had.
As to why that is happening. First, not all of the awakeners had been blessed with element-type magic since they were awakened by their system. Second, those who are lucky they will be blessed with the element of magic the moment the status is revealed, thus making a difference in the expression of the candidate, like her when dealing with the current situation.
Also, every person will have at least one element they are suitable for in life.
"Next number...".
As Mary called the other fifteen candidates, Soma found the distinctive figure of the expressionless girl walking among the candidates and then stood in front of the sphere.
"Please put your hand on here".
The silver-haired girl with a listless expression nodded her head and put her right hand on top of it. Then, the transparent sphere shook before it turned into a beautiful shade of deep blue reminiscent of the deep sea, showing her affinity element of Water.
"Amazing, the color is also dark blue which shows that you have a very good affinity with water elements, and your MP is? Wow, two hundred and fifty. That was almost the same as the vice-student council when she arrived as a candidate.".
The silver-haired girl puffed her chest out as if she was proud of the result of the test. What was happening earlier was when the color of the sphere that shows the person's element is in a deep or darker color, it was proof of how good the person's affinity with that certain element is.
With a good affinity, they will have a huge advantage in the future who will walk in the magic path, and if they are lucky enough, it will bring them to ascend to another higher level in mastering their element of magic.
As the senior mentioned the details, it roused the other candidates' attention. It made them shoot their attention toward the silver-haired girl who already left the place and stood with the other who had already finished their test.
"Ahaha, I would feel embarrassed if you revealed my past like that. Everyone, please forget what you heard earlier, okay. Let's continue..".
Mary kept continuing the exam, and every candidate that came in front never had an amazing number and good deep color like with the silver-haired girl earlier. Then, the other fifteen candidates were called, and this time, the remaining three other main characters turned.
Soma opened his eyes fully, trying to witness the other three main characters' moments as they walked toward the sphere and currently stood before it.
"Hmph".
The black-haired man who stood imposingly before the sphere snorted and managed to scare the female senior, trembling like a newborn infant because of the scary aura he exuded, knitting his brows. He put his hands on the sphere.
