"Kingrig!"

The call of the Mayan warrior's name echoed multiple times through the chamber before it finally drew his attention. Clad in his distinctive, eye-catching mask, he made his way forward to the crystal, a sense of anticipation hanging in the air. With a steady hand, he touched the crystal's surface, prompting it to slowly transition from indigo and darken into black.

"Dual elements: Dark and Lightning."

The revelation of Kingrig's dual elemental affinity elicited murmurs of surprise and intrigue from the onlookers. However, the next announcement sent shockwaves through the room.

"Spirit Aptitude S!"

The declaration reverberated off the walls, leaving everyone stunned. Emery himself was taken aback by this unexpected revelation. Yet, before the astonishment could fully settle, the staff quickly corrected themselves.

"No, my mistake. It's A aptitude, 89%."

Though the correction tempered the initial shock, the significance of Kingrig's aptitude score was not lost on anyone. It was merely one percentage point shy of reaching the prestigious S rank. The revelation left the magus's expression sour while Kingrig's three companions erupted in cheers of excitement.

Despite not fully comprehending the nuances of the situation, Kingrig welcomed the jubilant celebration with loud cheers and spirited dancing—a display that seemed to mock the disgruntled magus.

"He must be cheating!" The magus pointed an accusatory finger at Kingrig's wooden mask. "That must be an artifact to cheat the marking!"

Klea's response was swift and sharp. "Wow! Such a baseless accusation!"

Enraged to the point of irrationality, the magus turned to his acolytes near the crystal, instructing them to forcibly remove Kingrig's mask. Titus and Armenius instinctively moved to intervene, ready to defend their friend. But before they could act, two thunderous impacts reverberated through the air, sending both acolytes flying several meters as if they were mere pieces of paper.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

In the aftermath, Kingrig stood triumphant, arms raised in victory as he cheered for winning the impromptu skirmish.

"You're finally here, welcome to the academy" she exclaimed with genuine delight.

Emery, showing utmost respect, addressed the woman with a different title. "Master," acknowledging her as one of the grand magus who had once taught him. Grand Magus Aurora, now the Deputy Headmaster of the Alpha Quadrant Magus Academy.

"You should have told me you have arrived," she said.

"Master, I really just arrived. You came right on time..." Emery said the word so casually.

Janus was taken aback by the familiarity between Emery and the Deputy Headmaster. He realized that her position as "Master" was far superior to that of his own master, Rodman. Grand Magus Aurora wasn't just a Deputy Headmaster; she was also an oracle, a position that held immense authority, potentially even surpassing that of the headmaster.

Janus felt the beads of sweat forming on his forehead intensify, his fake smile stretching wider as he listened to the revelation that the Oracle had extended multiple invitations to this young man to become a instructor, only to be turned down each time.

"Refusing an Oracle... is that even possible?" Janus wondered incredulously, his mind swirling with irrational thoughts. "who is this new instructor?"

With the Deputy Headmaster's intervention, the truth swiftly came to light. The junior staff was dismissed, and the senior staff was cautioned about discrimination.

She regarded Janus with a soft gaze, yet her presence exuded an overwhelming power that left him feeling helpless.

"You should report what happened here to your master, Rodmand," she instructed.

"Yes... yes... Yes, I will," Janus responded, bowing his head even lower, his expression contrite as he apologized profusely for his mistake.

Only when he saw the Deputy Headmaster leading the lower realm group on a tour around the academy did Janus finally exhale a sigh of relief, he could only hope his master, grand magus Rodman wouldn't scold him too hard.
