Chapter 19 Welcome to Clover Academy!

"Wha..." Adam was in a daze.

How was he supposed to finish something he didn't have the slightest knowledge about?

Seeing the youth's expression, the woman was amused. "You have 2 minutes to finish this test. Your time starts now."

Adam was brought back to his senses. "What? There's a time limit!?"

But the lady didn't reply. She simply stared at him with a smile.

Seeing that the lady didn't have any intentions whatsoever to help, Adam could only grit his teeth and focus all his attention on the shining geometrical model hovering in front of him. Folloow current novÊls on nov3lb((in).(com)

He intently stared at the completed patterns as well as the parts that were missing, trying to figure out what exactly to do. He observed the lines and angles for a good half a minute until finally, he had a flash of inspiration.

It seems like the shapes and lines mirror each other at various intervals. Wait, that's not right! Adam's mind worked at lightning speed.

The effects of absorbing souls during the past couple of months were beginning to show. His thought process was extremely fluid and fast.

His eyes darted from one point to the other continuously as he mumbled, "The top left quadrant mirrors the bottom left... parallel lines mirror each other... I see... this is a three-dimensional figure!"

The lady sitting across from him was moved.

Adam stretched his hand and pressed one point on the model. He then drew a line and connected it to another point right across from it. A new line was magically formed mid-air following Adam's actions.

Soon, a minute had passed.

Adam continued to connect dot after dot, creating lines and patterns, inclining one line to the other, and forming an angle at their intersection. His speed initially was slow but slowly he began to connect everything very quickly almost as if on instinct.

He moved both his hands in a mesmerizing manner as if he were a masterclass artist in the process of finishing a beautiful painting.

With only a few seconds short of the two-minute timer, Adam finally connected the last pattern and completed the model.

As soon as the geometrical model was complete, it gave off a bright radiance and then dispersed into tiny motes of light.

"Finally, done!" Adam breathed out in relief. He then looked at the lady across from him whose mouth was agape, as if she couldn't believe what had just transpired.

"Is everything alright?" He got slightly nervous seeing such a reaction from the lady and was wondering if he had done something that he wasn't supposed to.

"B-grade," Adam replied.

"Ohhh! Me too!" Edward laughed.

"By the way, Edward, is B-grade very common?"

"Yes and no," Edward replied, "in general, A and B grades are very rare, especially A-grade. They are heavily nurtured and taken care of by any major organization.

"But here in Clover Academy, B-grade students can be considered common because the academy only handpicks the best of the best."

"Hmm... I see." Adam nodded in understanding.

He wondered if his current aptitude was a result of the white lotus' constant nourishment and whether his aptitude could increase in the future. However, he couldn't confirm his speculation.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Can a person's aptitude increase?"

"Hah!" Edward slapped his thigh exaggeratedly. "Although analytical and combat skills can be improved and sharpened over time, aptitude cannot! This is something a person is born with."

As I thought... Adam nodded.

Suddenly, the doors to the large building in front of the fountain opened and a dozen Magi wearing dark-green cloaks stepped out. Their aura and demeanor demanded nothing but admiration and respect.

They walked down the marble stairs and finally stopped in front of the hundreds of students. More than 700 students had started initially, but now only about 350 remained.

An old woman wearing a dark blue robe and a pointy hat of the same color came forth and spoke to everyone present, "I am the Headmistress of the Clover Academy. You all may address me as Professor Godfrey."

The children present at the square were stunned. They hadn't expected the Headmistress to appear all of a sudden.

Professor Godfrey continued speaking with a gentle smile, "Although the entrance examination consists of three tests, only the first two are required for your admission into the academy. The final test is only used for the first-year rankings."

The children were confused, however, some of them could understand what the Headmistress had just conveyed, and they couldn't help but be exhilarated.

Seeing the puzzled expressions of most of the students present, Professor Godfrey chuckled.

"That means all of you have passed the academy's entrance examination.

"Welcome to Clover Academy!"
