Enterance Exam

They both got onto the next train, Kimaris got a view of a lot of the city. He could barely contain his excitement and glare at the astounding architecture of the city.

"Are you new here? You seem to be really intrigued by the city." He was sitting opposite the same girl which he met on the platform.

"Actually, today is my first day here. Today I woke up after I got picked up in the abandoned continent not too long ago."

"So you must be one of the people who get found on expeditions. What's life like in the abandoned continent?"

"Well, first of all, we don't call it the abandoned continent where I come from, it's known as the Morning Star Republic, however, I only come from a now excluded family, therefore, I can't tell you much as I've lived most of my life in our family grounds."

"That's truly a shame, I've always dreamed of exploring the abandoned continent."

"Is it true that you can only go to the abandoned continent if you become one of these conquerors?"

"Sadly that's the truth, that's why I'm currently attending the Silverblade Academy, I wish to become a conqueror and explore natural landscapes."

"So, you're a student at the academy then?"

"That's right, if you do get accepted into the academy then look for Elyria, I'm in class 3A. I'd love to hear about some stories from the forbidden continent!"

"Elyria, I'll remember that. My names Kimaris K... Kimaris Dawnblade."

"Okay, Kimaris. Well, we're at our stop anyway so follow me."

As soon as they got off the train, Kimaris instantly spotted the academy, it was one of the tallest buildings he's seen, probably just after the building he came from in size.

They walked towards the building which was the smallest out of seven, it was also the most forward one of all of them. As soon as they walked in everyone realised that Elyria was in the room, two people ran straight up to her and bowed their heads asking her if they can help in any way.

"I have a friend who wishes to take the entrance exam, could you please guide him through the process."

One of the two people replied in a respectful tone, "That's no problem, sir, could you please follow us and we'll start right away."

Kimaris turned to Elyria and thanked her for the help, "Thank you for your help, I don't think I would have gotten here without you, I hope we see each other soon again!"

They waved at each other and then Kimaris followed the two people into an open room which contained an arena along with what looked like a crystal ball in front of it. First of all, they walked in front of the crystal ball, one of the people spoke up explaining what to do, "We need you to place your hands above this crystal ball, this will measure your potential along with your current magical power, please do it just like I will now."

The person put both of their hands on the crystal ball and slightly relaxed, in turn, the crystal ball started to glow slightly and produced what looked like a pond inside of the crystal ball. "This would be the equivalent of a rank C."

"So all I have to do is place my hands on the crystal ball and relax?"

"That's right."

Kimaris then walked up the crystal ball and placed his hands onto it, he then slightly relaxed. Out of the crystal ball came out a blinding line of luminous white which made the temperature of the room to rise multiple degrees, straight after the light got sucked into the crystal ball which caused the entire crystal ball to go black and absorb all of the light in the room, making it be consumed by darkness. The crystal ball started to crack and as soon as it disintegrated into nothingness the room returned back to normal.

Both of the people were on the floor, their legs were shaking. "Please... Please wait here, I must fetch the headmaster!"

Then both of them ran out of the room and left Kimaris to ponder what was wrong. In his family he did this test multiple times, each time he managed to produce a miniature universe, yet it seemed like this crystal ball couldn't contain enough of his powers to produce an image to represent him.

After a few minutes the two people returned, this time they were accompanied by an old man who had a beard which reached his chest along with a man in a red tracksuit who didn't look too young, but he possessed one of those auras of battles on him.

"Greetings, I am Edward Silverblade, I am the headmaster of this academy. Could I ask for your name?"

"Hello, headmaster. My names Kimaris Dawnblade."

"Dawnblade... That doesn't ring any bell, one would say you are a descendant of the devil with the power you just showed. We only require you to do one more thing, you must spar with my grandson here and we can make our final judgement on your rank, however, I can already say that we welcome you with our arms open to our academy."

Both Kimaris and the other man walked into the arena, Kimaris had received a wooden sword for the battle. The headmaster spoke out once they were both in positions, "You are to start the battle once the screen counts down from five and you hear the buzzer go off. I wish both of you luck."

An electronic female voice sounded, it started to count down from five, "Five. Four. Three. Two. One."

followed by an electric buzzer.

Kimaris didn't waste any time, he dashed straight towards his opponent who was also coming towards him. The person wasn't slow, but he could read all of their movements, they were going to swing from the top right downwards, in return, Kimaris stepped all the way right and slid behind the wooden sword where he was greeted with a kick which he jumped over.

The attacks didn't stop, they kept coming at Kimaris who was easily stopping or dodging all of them. "Stop toying around, are you going to launch an attack or what?", the grandson was not happy about Kimaris dodging his attacks. "If you wish so, then I shall attack."

Kimaris secured the grip on his wooden sword and once again dashed straight towards his opponent, he attacked from the top, however, the grandson could see what was about to happen and he prepared to defend with his sword.

With moves faster than the grandson could react, Kimaris let go of his sword and swept his opponent's legs which caused him to fall, Kimaris grabbed his sword as it was falling and pointed it towards his opponent's neck.

"It's my victory it seems."
