Signum Ceremony II

"Simadi tis psychis mou."

The circle of runes then lights up like an LED's light. Afterward, the girl glows red, a sign of affinity with Fire Element. After that the light from the circle becomes dim. This scene repeats itself with different children and glow of red, blue, light green, and copper brown from the children's body. Blue means affinity with Water Element, light green means affinity with Wind Element, and copper brown means affinity with Earth Element.

After the turn of Class 4 is Class 3's turn which also contains children with C class mana amount. The same event with Class 4 occurred in Class 3, then it is Class 2's turn. Sometimes there are children with two affinities from Class 2 which consist of children with B class mana amount.

Finally, the last to be called is Class 1. Alexa as the one with number one in Class 1's roll call is being called. She then headed to the stage with confidence. Though Selina knows she is a bit nervous inside after almost one year of knowing her.

"Simadi tis psychis mou," when Alexa uttered the words, the circle of runes lights up, followed by an intense glow from Alexa's body in the color of blue means Water Element and copper brown means Earth Element.

"Congratulations Alexa, you have dual affinities. Practice hard so you can use Advance Element." Teacher Albus said to Alexa.

"Thank you, Teacher Albus. I will train hard," Alexa replied to Teacher Albus.

The intensity of the glow is different according to the children's mana amount. The higher the intensity of the glow means the child's mana amount is high, and vice versa.

After Alexa does her Signum Ceremony, she comes back to Class 1's row of seats.

"Congratulations Alex, now you have the chance to learn Advanced Element. Honestly, I'm a little jealous of you right now." Selina said after hugging Alexa.

"Ehehehe… You don't have to. Maybe you will have dual or even triple affinities later."

"I hope so," Selina muttered to herself.

Their chat stopped when Prince Daniel's name was called by Teacher Albus.

"Daniel Zephyros Grand."

Then Selina looks at Daniel and encourages him by clenched one of her hands and whispered 'good luck.' Alexa also does the same thing. Daniel only nodded and lightly smiled at their encouragement. Daniel got on the stage with steps that were neither too fast nor too slow. After he stands in the middle of the circle and said the sentence, the thing that happened to Alexa also happened to him. The only difference is that he glows in red and light green color, indicating that he has affinities with Fire and Wind Elements. Just like that, the rest of Class 1's members also called to go to the stage. Jackson has affinities with Wind and Fire Elements while Christian has affinities with Earth and Fire Elements.

After Christian's turn ended, it was Arthur's turn. Wearing a plain white shirt and pants can't cover his gorgeous charm, Selina admits that. But it doesn't mean she likes him like the majority of the female population in school. When he goes to the stage, you can hear one chorus of squeal and scream from female students.

Selina sweatdrops at the scene as it reminded her of meet and greet idols event in her past life.

"Ck… Ck… Ck… To think I can see something like this in this world too." Selina whispered to herself.

"Simadi tis psychis mou," Arthur said the required sentence with confidence.

The circle of runes lights up and Arthur's body glows intensely in the color red, then copper brown, and lastly black. Selina can hear people murmured 'triple affinities,' 'very rare,' 'genius' and etcetera. Truthfully Selina feels slightly inferior to Arthur. Even though she already worked so hard to be the top scorer, she still loses to him. Her soul and mind are in her teens but she still loses her composure when face to face with him. It makes her inferiority complex increase. Especially now that Arthur has triple affinities.

'To think that he has triple affinities. Just how much of a genius he is?' thought Selina.

"What's wrong? Don't tell me you are scared now." Arthur said while smirking at Selina after returning from the stage.

Selina who is still in a dazed state, shocked at Arthur's sudden question.

"W-What did you just say? Who is scared? Mind your own business, you idiot womanizer!" Selina stutteringly said.

"Selina Hua," Selina heard Teacher Albus's voice called her name.

Selina advanced to the stage at a brisk pace, her head filled with scorn that Arthur had just said.

"Selina, please go to the center of the circle and say the required sentence." Teacher Albus gave instructions to Selina.

Selina nodded her head as a sign of understanding to Teacher Albus. Afterward, she stands exactly in the middle of the circle. Taking a deep breath, Selina said her sentence.

"Simadi tis psychis mou!"

Just like everyone else's, the circle's light up, and an intense glow came out of Selina's body in the color blue that Selina was forced to close her eyes. The glow then changed to light green then changed again to white. As the glow slowly become dim, Selina opened her eyes. Only then that she discovered something on her must go wrong as many people began pointing their finger at her.

"Is something wrong with me, Teacher Albus?" Selina decided to ask her Homeroom teacher.

'Don't say I really don't have an affinity with any element,' Selina thought, afraid of the possibility.

Selina's hands trembled, waiting for certitude from Teacher Albus. Selina was increasingly nervous to see Teacher Albus's serious expression. Her heart was beating faster and faster.

"Do you remember what I told you about two signs of people with S class mana amount? Arthur is the example of the first case and now you're included in the second case. Your hair and eyes have changed color. Even your eyebrows and eyelashes changed too."
