Can't become Magician?....
They went straight to Crimson Mage Academy..
While on the way the F3 gave Rito some tips on what to do.
"You just need to fight with an instructor, Show him what you learned and he will give you some tips on the way..". Veno said to Rito.
"Then he will test you if you can convert your mana in your body. That's how you will know what grade you are .." Ivy Added.
"You will be evaluated based on the grade you will get..." Bulba finishes.
Rito nod and just listened to them on the way.

Crimson Mage Academy.
It is one of the top schools here in Amadiya District. Not only so many elites are here, They also provide the best treatment you will have while training to become magicians. The higher grade you are, The more resources and authority you will get.
Rito and the F3 go straight to the training grounds to take the test..
Rito was a bit nervous but he thought he can easily passed the test, He was confident if it was only to do basic training.
"Are you ready?. Asked the instructor.
Rito just nod, He was just blankly staring at him.
When the instructor saw him out of focus.. He tried to make him relax and said.
"No need to be nervous, You just need to let me see your physical training, I just need to see if you are physically fit and if you can produce mana.."
"The physical fitness is important, Because if your body can't handle your mana flow, You will be crippled.. There are some cases where the mana is too huge that the body didn't keep up on it.
In the end the body exploded because of having too much mana..."
"So if you want to be a magician you need to train how to control your mana and train your body."
Rito was shocked when he heard the body will explode for having too much mana... He gulped and thought.
"Looks like I need to take this seriously, I thought it's easy to become magician."
After a few moments, They start the test.
The test was simple.. For the physical test, He just need to do some training like running, sprinting jumping etc... Then they do a little bit of spar.. Even if you are a magician you need to be atleast have basic close combat training because if an enemy approached you and you don't know a thing about close combat. You will die before you can even cast a spell.
Rito did it normally, He don't want to attract too much attention..
If he were to use his real strength here..
People will think he was a show-off.
Plus there are people who got jealous if you are in the limelight, Even though you didn't do anything to them.. They will hate you, They just hate you for existing.
"It's better to stay lowkey than to deal with that kind of people". Rito said to himself.
When they finish the physical test, The instructor walked towards him and said.
"Not bad kid, With your fitness you won't have any problem.. All that left is testing if you can convert mana...".
When Rito heard it, He sighed in relief and prepared himself to test his mana and he will officially become magician..
He was feeling happy right now...
he walked towards a table and in front of him is the instructor.
"Mana is the resource of the magic, It was used in order to cast spells and activate abilities. You can improve your mana by using mana crystal. Mana crystal is most usually acquired by searching through mining rich lands with minerals. Although searching lands is most common, There are some creatures and artifacts that produce mana also."
"But if you passed the test, The school will provide mana crystals for you, The higher grade you are.. The more mana crystal and other resources you will get like Sir Bulba, You get to test right away because he recommended you, Being high grade is also having an authority here, good luck".
Hearing the instructor's explanation he said.
"Thank you, what do I need to do?".
"You just need to cast spell, If you didn't learn any magic you can try to convert mana in your body..
Concentrate and feel the flow of the mana on your body first. after you felt it, Try to control it and flow it in your arms.."
"If your hand produced a light, It means you succeeded to convert mana directly in your body and you will be Middle Grade Magician.. We will then try to test if you can cast a spell instantly but because you didn't learn any magic, We will skip that first."
Rito after hearing the instructor.. Closed his eyes and concentrated...
He was trying to feel his mana....
He was trying to feel it in his stomach.....
He was frowning and sweating.....
It goes on for a while.....
When a noise suddenly spread around the training.
It sounded like a whistle....
"Piyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....poot poot".

In the training ground the F3 was watching Rito do the test.
When they saw him passed the physical test, They were happy.
"Now he only need to convert his mana!" Ivy said while smiling.
"Ssssh don't make too much noise he needed to concentrate" Veno said to Ivy.
Bulba was just watching everything..
When Rito closed his eyes...
Everyone was nervous....
No one made a noise....
The training ground was so quiet that you can hear if someone drop a needle...
They were all concentrating when a sudden noise spread around..
"Piyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....poot poot".
They were all shocked when they heard this..
Even the instructor can't help but open his mouth wide..
They saw the young man wearing a red robe..
Let out a gas of hell...
When the F3 heard this, Their faces already turned red from trying to stop their laughs..
Rito on the other hand, while he was concentrating... He was trying to find his mana, His face was already frowning from trying hard...
When suddenly, He felt a burst on his stomach..
He panicked, He tried to control the flow on his stomach...
But it was useless...
The burst travel all the way down trying to find an exit...
But Rito didn't give up....
He tried his best to block the exit as much as possible....
But the burst still went out...
"Piyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...."
The first one went out...
He closed the exit but other two burst still got out..
"poot poot".
His face was already blushing from embarassment...
He just closed his eyes..
He can't open it.....
He heard the gigglings of the F3...
But he still pretended to concentrate when he heard the instructor coughed and said.
"Cough! Cough! Well, that's enough.... It just means you can't convert your mana through your body.. You just need to find an alternative" the instructor said while blushing.
This was the most awkward moment for Rito...
He just lowered his head from embarrassment..
Good thing there's not many people here or else he needed to find a time machine so he can prevent this to happen..
The instructor continued like nothing happened to get rid of the awkwardness..
Meanwhile the F3 can't take out anymore and laugh hard...
After laughing for a while..
The instructor said to Rito. "Try using this wand and see if you can convert your mana through here".
Rito tried to forget what happened and move on...
He took the wand and concentrated again..
After a while nothing happened..
The instructor frowned and said.."That's enough, It looks like you can't convert your mana... You can't become a magician.."
When Rito heard this he was shocked...
Even the F3 after hearing it was shocked..
Bulba who was watching, Opened his mouth and said.
"Instructor, There are many ways to convert mana... We only use wand because it was the most common.. I hope you take that into consideration..."
The Instructor ponder about it.. and finally said.. " What you said is true.. but it's hard to find that kind of thing, only wand is the most suitable.. If I passed him here, It will look like I am favoring someone..."
"That's true but I can find some inscriptionist to make a suitable converter for him..".
When Rito heard it.
He was shocked and said to himself.
"I can use it that way! I can make my own weapon and inscribed some enhancement on it..".
The instructor thought for a while and said.. "Alright, since you say it like that I will....".
"WAIT!!". before the instructor finished what he was saying they heard someone shouted..
They all turned to look who shouted.
They saw a guy with a beautiful face and a young man behind him walking towards them...
The guy said.
"Instructor, Isn't this a bit too much? He didn't convert his mana and you are going to passed him?".
When Bulba saw who was it, His expression turned cold and he said..
"Duval, This has nothing to do with you, Why do you even care about this? Plus we will make a specialize converter for him..".
The guy's name is Duval, He is a High Grade Magician.. The young man behind him is Reggie, His younger brother... He heard from Reggie what happened before, So when they heard that Bulba bring someone to take a test, They rushed on the training ground...
"Well that's true but you know we can't help someone during their test right? I just want it to be fair..".
When Rito heard who is Duval and saw Reggie behind him.. his expression turned cold..
"I didn't help him, I just reminded the instructor there's many ways to convert mana..".
When the situation was about to get out of hand, The instructor stopped them and said..
"Just relax you two.. Why don't we just resolve this in an easy way... Duval, I understand your point.. What do you suggest?.".
When Duval heard this, He smiled and said..
"Of course, It's only a test, He just needed to pass.. I saw earlier that his physical strength is above average.. Why don't we just do it like this.. If he can destroy the ice that I made... let's forgot about this incident but if he can't, You will need to fail him.."
Meanwhile Reggie was just watching them and stared at Rito like he was mocking him...
The instructor turned to looked at Rito and Bulba. "Are you guys fine with this?.."
Rito didn't have time to answer when Bulba shouted. "Don't go too far, We already know your ice is unbreakable and yet..."
Rito stopped bulba and said. "It's fine, I'm alright with it.".
He then looked at Duval and Reggie with a cold expression...
When Reggie heard what Rito said.. He was already laughing inside...
Before anyone can do anything Duval instantly cast a spell beside the young man wearing a red robe..
an Ice tower about 20 feet tall emerge from the ground..
Everyone was caught off guard but immediately reacted...
Rito on the other hand, He was the nearest, His leg almost freeze... good thing he dodge to the side.. When he escaped, He let out a killing intent on Duval...
While Duval was just smiling and said apologetically.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that..."
Rito didn't say anything and just stared at him....
Meanwhile the F3 were already showing hostility...
While everyone was silent, Duval said. "That ice tower, If you can manage to damage even just a bit.. I will forget about this matter".
Rito coldly smiled and said. "You better make sure to stay true to your words or else.."
When Reggie heard this, He can't stay silent anymore and said..
"Or else again? hahaha, I've heard enough Or else from you.... you are the most ridiculous person I've ever met... hahaha".
Rito was still smiling even when he heard what Reggie said..
He just walked a bit and stop in front of the ice tower...
He was staring at the ice....
When suddenly a bunch of inscriptions appeared and rotated around his arms....
When Duval saw this, He froze for a bit and concentrated on the young man wearing a red robe...
Rito casually punch the Ice tower...
A loud bang sounded throughout the training ground...
The earth shakes for a bit...
Everyone was shocked but regained their senses right away...
Then Rito turned around to looked at Duval and said.. " Is this enough for you?".
The Ice tower was still standing like it didn't receive any damage...
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard what Rito said, Except Duval and Bulba..
Meanwhile Reggie laughed out loud so hard and said.. "What the fuck are you thinking? you didn't even manage to scratch it and you have the guts to say that.. hahaha".
Hearing it, Rito didn't looked at him, He just ignored him like he didn't exist.. When Reggie saw it he got angry and stared visciously at him..
Duval then said. "You passed." he just smiled at him..
Rito after hearing it, started to walked away with the F3....
Reggie heard what his brother said and he was shocked.. He can't believe what's happening, The Ice tower was still standing tall..
He asked his brother.. "Big brother, why did you let him get away?... He didn't even scratched the Ice tower you made..."
Duval stared at his younger brother and smiled...
He walked towards the ice tower...
He said.. "Don't worry we will have another opportunity next time..."
Reggie was confused about his brother's reply but he still stay silent....
Duval on the other hand... stared at the Ice tower in front of him...
He was smiling coldly and said.. "Interesting..."
He raised his right hand and softly poked the ice tower..
The moment his finger touched the ice tower..
A loud pop sounded out and the Ice tower turned into particles.
