"Welcome to the Academy aspiring students" He started off.
"My name is Adolfo Emberfall your test examiner"
His husky baritone voice sounded very pleasant to the ears as he continued speaking.
"The moment you all entered the first room means the entrance exam has already begun. I am certain that some of you have noticed that"
He said while his thin round glasses reflected the light on the ceiling.
"For this stage of the exam, you are all tasked to fight amongst yourselves and through each match we will decide the winner, the results shall be added to your score, which will be revealed at the end of the exam"
Whispers began to fill the vast room however Apollo's eyes and ears were glued to something.
[Notification Alert!
The space and time around the amphitheatre has shifted!
A time acceleration spell has been cast
Creator is advised to be cautious!]
This made Apollo happy and immediately began studying the spell through Jeremiah.
And so while he basked himself in the mysterious magic of time the stage began to be covered with a barrier to protect those who will watch.
Spells from different elements were cast however the boy's attention remained on the magic surrounding the amphitheater. Time magic was a complicated branch of void magic and Apollo hadn't perfected his skills in terms of it.
However, his euphoria ended when one of the names he read inside the files was called.
"Next Niko Fernandez and Samuel Lucas" the examiner called and Apollo immediately regained his focus in front.

Apollo doesn't know whether to laugh or cry with their stats. It was amazing at the same time disappointing, Apollo suddenly felt that he should help them cultivate their skills and abilities.
[Is that a genuine feeling or do you just want to study them]
Jeremiah said when he heard Apollo's thoughts.
"Both I guess....hoo...." He breathed, and for a moment all sorts of plans popped into his head, he even thought of giving them a doomsday as a means of protection.
"Calm down those are the only two, you have to wait for the thirteen more students," he said to himself.
Unknowingly he began to think of the things he should do to help his future classmate but a voice destroyed all his daydreaming.
"Apollo Lionheart and Edmond Williams!"
Apollo snapped out of his thoughts and went to the stage where he saw a boy who strangely resembled someone
"Williams?... I see"
Apollo smiled softly as he realized who the boy was.
"It's Edgar's younger brother"
"You two may start now"
With Adolfo's neutral voice announcing the start of the match. Edmond immediately lunges forward, Apollo frowns when he sees how his opponent's sword changes direction executing a strike from below.
It was very fast considering his stats, which means that his mastery of the technique was better than his brother's.
The wooden sword in his hand reaches Apollo's stomach however it stops midway.
"CLAP!"
Apollo put his hand together and produced a sharp percussive noise, a crisp sound can be heard along with the sound of a falling body.
"THUD!"
Edmond's body falls head first on the stage, the sound of it made everyone surprise.
"What just happened?"
"I don't know I only saw someone fall"
Different theories were laid out since they couldn't believe someone could be defeated with just a mere clap.
"Match ends victor Apollo!" The examiner announced, he then beckoned the boy to go through the door.
"That was a superb spell young Lionheart" he added before letting him go.
Apollo just nodded however as he walked passed the professor he caught a glimpse of blood dripping from his ears. It wasn't really noticeable due to the examiner's hair but since Apollo was close to him he was able to notice it.
"It seems like I overdid it" the boy had thought as he walked through the door.
At first, Apollo wanted to show off some of his prized lightning spells but as the match started he felt it was unnecessary.
"What he received is enough I suppose"
Passing through the door a place similar to a maze appeared before him.
"Kill as many golems as you can, each rank of golem corresponds to the points allotted to them"
Then the screen shows different types of golem however a type of golem attracted his attention.
"A mechanical golem" Apollo smirked as he saw a familiar creation of the tower mages.
A body made of metal while the structure was highly similar to a normal stone golem.
"You may first sit here until the other examinees arrive"
Gladly Apollo nodded his head and went into the waiting area
