The Magus Test (2/2)

When Morgiana stepped on the center, she then placed her right hand on top of the crystal ball and in front of everyone eyes, the crystal ball burst forth with blinding rays of light. Red rays and Silver rays intertwined with each other like some sort of rope.

The bald elder looked blankly at the piece of paper in his hands. Written on top of it was the name and age of the tester.

Morgiana Fanalis, eight years old.

Bald Elder "Age, eight. Elemental essence affinities - Fire and Wind, both are exceptional affinity level!"

They had just tested a Dual-Elemental Magus earlier but now, another one appeared.

The nobles all broke into an uproar while Linley was also stunned.

Lionel was just looking at the sidelines, he was not making any sound that made the others in the cathedral to forget about him.

At the center of the platform, everyone is already fawning over Morgiana even though the Spiritual Essence Test has not yet commenced, they were already sure that she will be strong in the future.

Bald Elder "Everyone! Please return to your seats, we will now proceed to the Spiritual Essence Test."

Bald Elder "Please Princess, step on the magical formation."

Morgiana then walks towards the magical formation and when she did, the magical formation then glowed with a white aura then Morgiana felt pressure in her spirit. Although it was not enough to make her fail, it gradually increased in pressure until she can't bear with it any longer than she dropped on her knee while she was clenching her fists.

It took several minutes before she fell and was clearly the longest ever in the test, everyone all turned their heads towards the Bald Elder as if asking for an answer.

The Bald Elder, on the other hand, was shaking in excitement, never had he ever seen someone with this result at such a young age.

Bald Elder "Spiritual essence, one hundred forty-eight times that of his peers, high-level. "

Everyone sucked in a cold breath as they heard the announcement. Having eighteen times spiritual essence is already amazing but Morgiana has 148 times than normal.

As the magus recruiters were about to go near her, Morgiana suddenly said.

Morgiana "I will enter Ernst Institute."

The white-robed elder was very happy to hear that the princess had chosen their academy, this will help them to have a connection with the Fanalis Empire which has complete control over the two mountain ranges and can be considered as the richest empire with a strong army.

The white-robed elder then gave Morgiana the identity proof and went back to his seat after praising her one last time. The other magus recruiters seem to be very jealous of his luck for having chosen their academy.

The Bald Elder taught that the Morgiana will be the last one to take the test as he was just about to leave the cathedral. Then they all heard the sounds of footsteps getting closer and closer until they all turned to look at who it was and was surprised to see a white-haired boy, wearing a black mask that only exposes his dark gold eyes.

They were all shocked to see him going towards the center and placed his right hand on top of the crystal ball and before they could even react, the crystal ball burst forth with light.

Instead of intertwining with each other, two rays of different colors, red and silver are forming some sort of web connections just like what would be the nerve cells in a brain would look like.

Everyone present was shocked by this unique phenomenon, this was the first time that they are seeing something like this in history. They all looked at the white-haired boy in curiosity.

In their minds, they all have the same thought.

'Just who is this boy.'

Lionel was looking at the web-like pattern of light around him in surprised also as this was the first time that he also saw them like this. He had already tried it a few times back at the empire but this is the first time he also saw it.

This needs to be further examined was his thoughts and he is right. As there is a possibility that it might be able to help him improve his strength in the future.

Bald Elder "Exceptional Affinity to Fire and Wind. Another Dual-Elemental Magus!!"

The Bald Elder was still in shock as he looked at the results when he saw the identification scroll that Lionel gave him also made him jump back in surprise. As Lionel was also eight years old and from the looks of it, he was no royalty which means that he will be working hard than the others which will benefit him in the long run.

There was no noble that tried to praise him as they are all afraid that they might piss him off. Even though he was technically a kid, they are still hesitating because of the aura his emitting, it was like he was dominating them.

Morgiana was the only one who was visibly happy with Lionel's results as this means that they will be going in the same class. She then thinks of something to surprise him which she really likes also.

Lionel "Can I proceed now?"

Lionel's words made them all back to their senses and made them all think clearly, then they noticed the sword which was on his back and was all surprised.

Since Lionel has a sword on his back, that only means that he also trains as a warrior which is really rare as they all knew how hard it is to be a warrior and a magus at the same time. A warrior needs to temper their body while a magus needs to increase their spiritual essence and accumulate knowledge which is time-consuming.

Bald Elder "Y-Yes. Please proceed."

Lionel then walked towards the magic formation and then it was activated, he then felt pressure in his spirit but it only felt like an ant trying to bite his iron-like skin. He can do this for forever but he doesn't want to make everyone lose their souls in shock so he only waited for at the same time as Morgiana before he walks out of the magic formation

The Bald Elder was surprised by his action the same as everyone in the cathedral, they all knew that he can keep on going but he decided to stop, this means that it doesn't concern him too much.

Bald Elder "Spiritual essence, one hundred sixty-two times that of his peers, high-level. "

When the Bald Elder announced his results, they were all that his results were even better than the princess. Then they all remembered that he came out of the same carriage as the princess which means that they must have some connection of some sort.

The magus recruiters were just about to go near Lionel when he rejected them all at once and looked at the white-robed elder from the Ernst Institute. The white-robed elder seems to have caught up what he was thinking and handed him over the identity proof.

The white-robed elder was very happy with the ones he recruited this time which are all Dual-Elemental Magus. This will surely make their academy more famous than ever if these three show great results.

Morgiana and Lionel then all boarded the carriage together with Glenn which was still being ignored as of now. They then disappeared from the sight of everyone in the cathedral but what they have witnessed earlier was something they would never forget.

Especially to a certain brown-haired boy and a blonde-haired girl, which will change their life forever.
