“Mr Yuki Aki!”

“Yes, Instructor!” A random guy with a mob-like character wearing thug-style fashion swaggered his way to the stage and just as he stood in front of the Ice beauty instructor, he started to shiver.

.....

“Hmmn!” Ice beauty looked at him for a second then took her vision back from him like she lost interest just by looking at him.

Just as he was wondering how the test was going to proceed, the fiery instructor banged her feet on the stage, shaking a little. Then a compartment opened in the middle of the stage. Like a stone monument, a slab came over and stood erect in the middle of the stage.

“Hey! You Mr Yuki Aki!” The fiery lady instructor called him out.

“Hai! Instructor Cha!” Yuki Aki shrank his neck and replied meekly.

“Here, put your hand over it and think of something that gave you the most expression,” Chung-Cha explained in simple words.

Chung-Cha explained a little about it then Yuki Aki followed along, he stood in a relaxed position and closed his eyes and started to imagine what he thought was his most distinguished expression of his.

Then he placed his hands over the stone slab and waited patiently for the results, a while later the stone slab shone and an image started to form on his chest area above the heart like a projection.

The image of a partially formed star showed up then in jip it vanished.

“Okay! That’s enough, Mr Yuki Aki!” Kairi Aoyama called out to him looking a little disappointed.

“So, what’s the result?” Yuki Aki asked in a nervous voice.

“Hmmn! You passed albeit barely. Which category you fall under will be announced at the end.” Chung-Cha replied offhandedly and sent him off the stage.

“Okay, next! Mr Fujii Akai!” Kairi Aoyama then called out the second name.

A young man named Fujii Akai went to the stage and did the following step just as Yuki Aki but this time when the Stone slab shone there was no image present above his heart area.

“Mr Fujii Akai, you failed!” Kairi Aoyama informed without any emotion on her face and the young hearing the result took double damage to his fragile heart so he limped away left from there.

“Next, Mr Fujita Nowara!” Then the third person’s name was called.

Just like the first two, he also went through the same process.

Just like that an hour and a half passed, and they finally shorted out the result of 100 candidates.

“First, those who failed the assessment should form a line and head towards the designated place. Remember, if you don’t follow the instructions then you will face the consequences!” Chung-Cha addressed the failed candidates and as her aura, leaking a bit was enough for them to understand that she means business so they followed her instruction and headed silently without making a fuss even if they were dissatisfied or sad with the results.

After the failed candidates left only a handful of them were left in the field.

Only two out of several top families were able to pass the assessment, the Byakko family young master and the Yugami family young master.

A total of 6 out of 100 were selected or showed any kind of potential.

“Very well! Six of you, follow me!” Kairi Aoyama looked at the six candidates which were better results than last year or any of the past assessments.

Chung-Cha went to the designated place to send off the failed candidates to their respective places from the academy land.

.....

“Okay, Mr Yuki Aki! Come forward!” Kairi Aoyama called out to the first candidate to be tasted.

They were on a small training ground where all kinds of different equipment were present.

Just as Kairi Aoyama called out to Yuki Aki, he stepped forward and stood before the instructor.

“Mr Yuki, here is your identification so don’t lose it. Congratulations, you are now a Martial Artist.” Kairi Aoyama gave him a crystal card in which his name and the rest of the details were written.

Yuki Aki felt relieved that he didn’t have to go into an unknown field as from his childhood to now, he has practised martial arts so he was happy with the results.

As for the failure in assessment, that’s not possible if he remembered correctly his father had fed him a lot of wild herbs in these ten years so I believed in those herbs.

“Next, Mr Byakko! Step forward!” Kairi Aoyama called out to the next candidate who is also a young master of a prominent family in the capital.

“Congratulations, Mr Byakko for becoming an ability user. Here is your identification card and also make sure to study it well because in this Academy only hard work is acknowledged!” Kairi Aoyama congratulated him and handed him the identity crystal card. Seeing his arrogant-looking smug face, she gave him a heads up but even after that he doesn’t heed her advice then it’s not her problem.

After that, she distributed the crystal identity cards and congratulated the rest of the four candidates.

Of six candidates, two are Ability users, one is a mage and the rest three are martial artists.

“Well, before you ask any unnecessary questions, let me explain how the assessment was decided!” Kairi Aoyama addressed everyone seeing that they were about to ask questions.

“All of you here should have noticed that each of you showed images when you touched the stone slab, right!” Kairi Aoyama pointed out the obvious which they might have missed or someone might have guessed it.

“Let’s start with Martial Artist. When an image of a star is shown on the projection with the help of a Stone slab, it shows that you are a martial artist. The more solid and complete the star is, the greater the potential you will have.

For the image, the principal attribute would be shown on it, like a spark of fire or ball of water or cracking of thunder etc. And the more the spark of fire burns or the ball of water becomes or larger the cracking of thunder is the greater the potential you will have.

As for the ability users, most of them would have the ability to use different weapons like spear, sword etc. or assisting abilities. The faster you awaken the ability and master the initial form of it, the greater chances you will have in the future to progress.”

Kairi Aoyama explained to them, and then she also felt that this is enough for them to understand the basics of their category.

“Okay, everyone! You should familiarise yourself with your environment now!” Kairi Aoyama dismissed them as she has done her work and now she has to attend to her other duties.
