Chapter 3: The Entrance Exam
A week has passed since Blaze has left his village and he's finally arrived at the heart of the Lumine Kingdom the Capitol City of Luminous oddly enough he had an issue getting through the front gate of the city the guards seemed to treat him with disgust to the point he ended up sneaking into the city just to avoid escalating things to a confrontation
"wonder what crawled up that jackass' shorts" Blaze unaware that the guard treated him that way due to being a 'commoner' shrugs the earlier incident off as just someone having a bad day.
As Blaze walks around he's bumbs into a man "ugh an urchin watch where you're going" the man says with disgust "always some that don't know their place but I guess I can't blame a child for their parents failures"
Blaze normally doesn't let things get to him or at the very least he doesn't let it show but this isn't one of those times "I apologize for not paying attention I just arrived in this city and was taken aback by all the sights I thought it was a great city…. Until I bumped into such an eyesore like yourself you're like an annoying stain on my favorite shirt that I'd rather throw out than try to wash"
The man takes great offense "how dare you do you know who I am? I am…."
"No I don't are you deaf I just said I only just arrived in this city are you that uneducated that you can't comprehend common sense" Blaze spat back with a smirk clearly enjoying getting on this pompous ignoramus last nerve
The man is fuming his face red with anger "you… you…." As he failing miserably to complete a sentence Blaze walks away but not before flipping the man off.
"Let's see the academy should be over this way" as Blaze climbs a steep hill a huge campus comes into view its the Lumine Royal Academy unlike other nations that have separate academies for Magic, Knights, and a third academy for basic studies, the Lumine Kingdom has 3 academies of different prestige but all these teach everything but unlike the other 2 academies in the kingdom the Royal academy has more than just Knights Training or Magic though traditionally only Royalty Nobels or children of Knights/Guards regardless of status could attend.
Whistles "this place is huge" Blaze smiles as he takes in the view and after a moment he makes his way to register for the entrance exams
After filling out the paperwork he makes sure to hand a letter that he was repeated nagged to hand over when he registered "I'm supposed to hand this over I guess"
The attendant presiding over the registration opens the letter and reads it her mouth drops before asking Blaze to wait after what seems like forever she returns with another person who instructs me to follow them as I follow I notice a room where others are taking a written test "excuse me but isn't that where I should be going".
The man stops and chuckles, "you don't know what was in that letter do you?"
I shake my head "no sir i was told not to look and frankly the person who told me scares the heck out of me"
"I see, basically you're exempt from the written portion while the other might say it's unfair to them the same could be said about it being unfair to you, while you are exempt from that portion at the very least I'm gonna at least comfirm you can read and write" the man explains.
….
After confirming I can read and write to a level the man is satisfied with he directs me to testing field 3 for my magic practical as I approach the field the exam is just getting ready to begin multiple applications demonstrate their magic skills which to put lightly were pathetic.
After awhile there wsd quite a handful that got my attention, one such was a young lynx girl named Lena, whose fire power was incredible…. Insane really beside the intensity of the basic spell the flame itself wasn't the typical orange it was crimson red, but the one that put her to shame was a human boy with blond hair and green eyes while most applicants choose to use a spell like rock bullet or fire ball this boy choose to use Lightning Arrow on top of that he was able to multi cast and hit every target simultaneously and the light in bolts were of different colors and intensity.
Finally it's was my turn and when they called my name and I step forward it was met with some issues
