Chapter 6
The entrance test part 1
A test of insanity
Finally the day of the long-awaited test to be able to enter the Sacred Academy arrived.
The girls and I were inside a huge carriage ... actually very exaggeratedly huge ... I think it should be as long as two luxury limousines. Its width is more or less about 10m and 5 high.
Without a doubt exaggeratedly large.
-Izarick-sama, are you sure you're okay? I notice that he looks a bit tired. (Felia)
-… don't worry… (Yawn)… I'm just a little sleepy. (Izarick)
That is so, surely the dark circles that I have are very easily noticeable indicating that my sleep indicator is already in its red part.
And the reason for my lack of sleep.
This is it.
Memory.
After doing everything he had to do, and finishing a little manual with training instructions and many things for Paul's little daughter.
I went to bed around 2:30 am.
I can't deny that nervousness was one of the reasons I was still awake.
After spending a few seconds I managed to get the dream to hit me and I was already closing my eyes to put myself to sleep.
Everything was going well until ...
...
...
...
...
Four different smells reached my nose, sweet and fragrant smells, along with a delicate moisture.
And to accompany them.
The feeling of smooth skin, the tickling of hair, and the toughness of a hard material.
They caused my dream to disappear faster than lightning.
I opened my eyes again to see who caused this.
A half-elf girl, one from the fox tribe, one draconian, and one that appeared to be human.
The four of them divided the spaces of my body into four parts to support their heads so that they did not bother the others.
-… Felia, Violeta, Sora and Drigil. What do you think the four of you are doing in my room at this hour !? (Izarick)
I said something angry and in a serious tone of voice.
-… we couldn't sleep due to our nerves and we still haven't gotten used to those big beds… and sleeping next to Izarick-sama is very relaxing. (Felia)
- YES! YES! (Sora / Violet / Drigil)
-… (Izarick)
I just stared at them for a few seconds and then closed my eyes and then gave a little whisper. `` - ... good for you ... ´´
And it was so, since, although they could sleep well, I could not.
So I will take advantage of this moment to be able to sleep, even for a few minutes.
.
.
.
-We have arrived children !! (Paul)
The voice of my best business friend reached my ears causing me to open my eyes immediately. I got up slowly and put my head out the window, thus being able to observe the outside.
A huge crowd of people was already visible as far as he could see.
The majority were children and adolescents who were around the ages of 11 to 18, and others who were over 20 and a very small number who were over 40.
The girls and I got out of the limo (Carriage) and started talking to Paul.
-Well, little Izarick, remember that they are already registered, so you don't have to register, just go to the room that indicates your card and wait your turn in the test. Here are some maps of the academy, well, that's all, I'm leaving since I have business to attend to. (Paul)
-Okay, and don't worry about coming to pick us up, we can come back ourselves. (Izarick)
-If you say it. Well, bye, do well on your test. (Paul)
-chao Paul-san. (Felia)
-Bye Paul. (Drigil)
-see you later. (Violet)
-see you. (Sora)
With that Paul left, leaving us in the crowd. Look at the five sheets of paper that I have in my hands, a simple map of the academy is illustrated on each sheet.
I pass one to each of my classmates and then we proceed to look in detail at our cards to find out in which building we would have to present the test.
According to these maps, the Sacred Academy is divided into:
-Main building
-Secondary building
-First year building
-Second year building
-Third year building
-Fourth year building
-5th year building
-Campus A
-Campus B
-Campus C
-Campus D
-Campus E
-Test room 1
-Testing room 2
-Testing room 3
-Testing room 4
-Test room 5
-Boys bedrooms
-Girls bedrooms
-Main Employee House
-Secondary employee house
A total of 21 parts that are very well protected by a wall and in turn a barrier.
I had to present myself in test room 3.
To Felia in room 1.
Violeta in room 4.
For Sora it is room 5
And it was Drigil's turn in room 2.
We started walking through the crowd in the direction of the front door.
The main door is a double door made of a material that appeared to be steel or some kind of silver metal. The design of this is similar to a church in Europe from the 18th or 19th century.
After we passed the door ... I was really ... really surprised by what I saw.
The territory of the Sacred Academy is undoubtedly extremely wide. I know that seeing the territory from the perspective of a map of the city ... can more or less give an idea of how big this school is ...
But.
See it live and direct.
It is something completely different.
-This is really impressive! (Izarick)
Those words of awe were said while admiring the vastness of this school.
Like me the girls were also impressed.
There is a lot of vegetation that gives a relaxing air, the paths made of smooth stone are very good, the green lawn is very well kept.
After walking through what appeared to be the path that goes to the main building, we reached a division and each one took the route that would take them to their corresponding test room.
.
.
.
Felia's point of view
After parting ways with Izarick-sama and the others, I hurried as fast as I could towards testing room 1.
Even though I ran at full speed from the beginning, it still took me around 10 to 15 minutes to get there… this school is huge.
Upon reaching the testing room ...
I couldn't help but stay frozen with what I saw in front of me.
-… you don't open the wrong place for me, right?… No, this is actually test room 1… (Felia)
I said while looking at the map again. Test room 1 in front of me.
It is a building that can easily be around 4-5 times the size of Paul-san's house. Its shape appears similar to that of a dome, or at least the part of the roof.
I put the map in my magic bag and proceeded to walk towards the entrance door of the evidence room.
-If the lady wants to enter, I need you to please show me your card. (Guard)
-Okay, here it is. (Felia)
I show the card Paul gave me to the huge, muscular guard, he takes it and watches it for a few seconds until he nods his head and then hands it back to me.
He opens the door and so I proceed to enter after thanking him.
After I'm already inside ... one more surprise comes.
A huge number of people were already inside, I think they can easily exceed 300, 500 or even 800 people.
They all appeared to be young. After observing this, I begin to mix with the crowd and begin to observe the walls of this place. Men and women of multiple ages watch the crowd of young people from the stands.
-So those are the judges. Apparently Izarick-sama was right again. (Felia)
That was my honest thought, after all for the past week, in addition to each of us having our time alone with Izarick-sama, we also had private lessons from him for this day.
I quickly remembered all the lessons we had, on multiple topics that were not only related to magic itself.
-Okay kids, I want everyone to give me their attention and look over here! (?)
A female voice reached my ears, I looked in the direction where that voice came from. There is standing on a balcony, a woman who seemed to be in her 20s, wears black and white clothes: A flannel, pants, boots and something similar to a cloak is placed on her shoulders. But what really catches my attention are the long ears sticking out of his short hair and those big horns on his head.
A strange smile is on his face as he moves his arm animatedly.
-I am the director and founder of this `` Sacred Academy '' my name is Uzbet Atan Alo! And I will be the one in charge of presenting your proof of income! And without further ado, let the test begin! (The director)
'Click' a sound similar to that of some kind of pin echoed throughout the room causing everyone present to be shocked.
The ground at our feet began to shake, and then tables and chairs began to form for each of those taking the exam. "Plam" "" Plam "two loud applause were heard and slightly on each of the tables, a small distortion in the environment was visible and from there appeared small piles of leaves and a pen with an inkwell.
-I hope you can write and think quickly, since the first part of this exam will be that you complete those 300 sheets of questions personally asked by me! They have 3h so you better hurry those hands! (The director)
I sat down and took the pen, began to read the contents of the sheet and at the same time analyzed it.
"... this ... this is amazing! ... It's much easier than the exams Izarick-sama gave us last week! ... I can easily solve this !!" (Felia)
The content of the exam presented by those three hundred sheets ... they were not so complicated ...
It only took me 1h and 30min to figure everything out. And since I still had time to spare, I used it to correct possible errors.
Sora's point of view.
Although the road to get to test room 5 was long… it took me only 5 minutes to get to the room.
A huge building 5 times the size of Paul's house. A large man who must be at least 2m tall, his robust and well-trained body shows through his unarmored clothing.
Huge gauntlets hung on chains from his waist.
-Hey girl, are you one of those who will present the entrance test? (Guard)
-… yes I am, so please let me pass. (Sora)
-In order for you to pass I need you to show me your card. (Guard)
-… alright… (Sora)
I started looking for the card that Paul gave us ...
Between my clothes ...
In my magic bag ...
But I couldn't find her ...
10min later ...
-Hey girl I don't have all day, if you don't have a card better go! (Guard)
-Yes, I have one! I just need to find… Here it is! (Sora)
After searching in a thousand corners I managed to find the card.
I showed it to the huge man who was looking at me with a bitter expression. But I don't care about that.
Once the man checked my card he let me pass. Being inside the building ...
I almost fell due to surprise.
The place is incredibly spacious. Even with the huge number of people here, we seem very few for this place.
I look at the walls of this building and sitting in the stands I can see several good-looking people staring in this direction and talking to each other.
-I suppose those must be the judges ... It seems Nii-sama was right again ... Well, I'll give my best in this test! (Sora)
I clenched my hands to encourage myself.
-Hello everyone!!! (?)
A loud voice reached my ears, I changed my line of sight in the direction of where the sound was produced.
There is standing on a balcony, a woman who seemed to be in her 20s, wears black and white clothes: A flannel, pants, boots and something similar to a cloak is placed on her shoulders.
He moves his arms very animatedly with a happy expression. But. The curious thing about his appearance is his long, pointed ears that stick out of his short hair and those horns on his head.
-I am the director and founder of the `` Sacred Academy '' my name is Uzbet Atan Alo !. I'm the one who will be in charge of giving you the entrance exam! So let's get off to a quick start! You have three hours to complete the next 300 question sheets! (The director)
With that last thing, the so-called director disappeared out of nowhere and in front of me, and the others present, some desks similar to the ones Nii-sama uses to teach us appeared.
On the table, stacked a good amount of sheets and a pen with an inkwell.
Although theory is not my strong suit, I sat down and began to read the first page of the stack, and then I work out what I understand.
Drigil's point of view.
After heading to test room 2, it didn't take me long to get there.
I saw that a guard was guarding the door so I approached him with the card that Paul gave us.
I don't know why, but the guard looked at me strangely, directing a bit of hostility towards me.
Don't be scared or fazed by it. I just waited for the man to finish checking my card to get in.
Once I had the card back, I kept it and went into the room.
I know very well that this building is huge, but it does not surprise me much, after all, in my old home there were buildings 8 or even 10 times bigger than this one.
Inside the building there were enough people gathered already. I mingled with them and began to observe those people sitting in the stands.
Clearly those are the judges or supervisors of this exam.
Several minutes passed and several more people entered the building as applicants.
-Well well!!! I see that everyone is already gathered, then I will introduce myself !! I am the founder and director of the `` Sacred Academy '' Uzbet Atan Alo !! I will be the one to present you the entrance exam !! (The director)
Just with a glance and hearing his voice, I could tell who he was. Dressed in only two types of colors, a lively personality and voice of the same tone.
An old acquaintance and friend of my parents.
This is standing on a balcony.
Violeta's point of view.
After parting ways with Izarick and the girls, I reached Test Room 4.
I showed my card to whoever was guarding the entrance and they passed.
The room was certainly huge.
It seemed that all the applicants to enter the academy are already present.
I mingled between them and felt like several glances were watching us all.
Judge that those who watch us are the judges because of how they talk to each other and watch us from the stands.
-Please everyone present turn here! (?)
I turned my head in the direction of that voice.
A woman who is over 20 years old. Wear clothes that only have two colors, black and white.
A lively and energetic expression.
It appears to be a mongrel between an elf and a demon.
But…
For some reason…
Seeing her causes a serious chill through my body. It's as if my instincts are screaming at me that I must take serious care of that person.
Besides ... I can feel it.
I can feel that something is hiding behind that smile ...
I swallow hard as I hear the words of that woman ...
Izarick's point of view.
The director of this school called `` Sagrada Academia ''
His name is Uzbet Atan Alo
There is standing on a balcony, a woman who seemed to be in her 20s.
He wears black and white clothes: A flannel, pants, boots and something similar to a cloak is placed on his shoulders.
Without a doubt he is a mysterious person.
I can see that his smile indicates his lively personality as well as the movements he makes with his arms.
But.
Those long ears and horns on her head indicate that she is not human.
I suppose those features would catch anyone's attention.
But that is not my case.
What really gets my attention.
It is…
That strange chill that just seeing her causes me.
I have it more or less 1km or less from me.
But still.
I can feel that he is hiding something. And not only do I feel it, I also see it.
I can see the shadow of what she hides. She is clearly not alone.
I don't know if others can see that too or not, but from their normal expressions… clearly they can't.
Maybe the girls can.
But.
I only know one thing.
If I were to fight her.
It would be…
Total, defeat for me ...
Even if I use my entire arsenal of weapons ...
If I can pink one of her hair ...
That would be a huge achievement.
After all…
I know very well.
That this woman is a real monster.
Third person narration.
At the top of the main building of the sacred academy, a woman leaning on the director's chair, watches how the blue sky looks.
Or that is what it may seem at first glance.
His eyes that seemed to be looking up at the sky, are actually seeing something else or other things at the same time.
Your eyesight and your mind at this very moment are in 5 different places.
In all 5 testing rooms to be exact.
After several minutes her eyes return to a light of life and the woman blinks 5 times.
-I see that this year we have several interesting students among the new entrants ... and I think there are two among them who noticed my little pet. (The director)
That's what the woman said as she put her feet on the desk next to her and created multiple amber spheres that showed her different scenarios.
- ... now I'm going to think about what I can put you in for the second phase of the test ... (The director)
With that little statement he began to laugh like a villain when he saw that his plan went perfectly.

Proof of income part 2
The true face of the test
Third person narration
Test room 1
-How can this be the entrance test for a school! (Felia)
That was the thought of the half-breed among elf-human as she looked at the scenery around her.
Multiple monster corpses are scattered all over the ground covered by dark grass. The only illumination on that battlefield are those spheres of light that she herself maintained, due to the gigantic trees that could easily be more than 100m high and their trunk can exceed 50m thick. They didn't let any kind of light hit the ground.
-Group A, C and B tanks keep attracting monsters' attention! Healers and priests prepare to heal! Sorcerers use reinforcement magic on all attack units! Units of warlocks, wizards and archers await my signal! Attack unit prepare to attack on the count of 3! (Felia)
That 11-year-old girl. She is standing in the middle of a bloody battlefield, that girl commands a small army of at least 800 men, made up of boys and girls of the same age, teenagers up to 18 years old, and men and women who can reach up to fifty.
Y…
Among all the candidates to command, she was chosen.
Despite her young age, she can remain calm in this situation. Look closely at the battle that those who attract the attention of monsters are waging for an opportunity.
-1… 2… 3… NOW ATTACK UNIT, ATTACK THE ENEMY MONSTERS! (Felia)
Shouts loudly the army commander. Heeding its commander, a unit made up of at least 200 men begins a massive attack on those monsters.
-I must make sure I can go back to Izarick-sama and the others! (Felia)
Test room 5
In the middle of a plain full of deserted mountains in which there is no trace of any kind of life. A 10-year-old girl is fighting countless monsters.
"You stupid monsters get out of my way!" (Sora)
Launching attacks at high speed like a storm. A girl who belongs to the race of the celestial fox beats-man-tribe.
The sword, or, rather, the greatsword that he holds with both hands is not stopped by anything or anyone. Every monster that stands in the way of that greatsword is fiercely sliced into two parts.
Despite her cute and harmless appearance, the amount of monsters she leaves behind clearly says that they shouldn't mess with her.
-All of you, do not stand there and help me with these troubles! (Sora)
The girl yells at the army that lies behind her, that army is made up of about 700 men who vary both in gender and age.
The girl knows very well that she is not very good at strategizing. Therefore, I only teach basic training to all of them. One taught to him by his beloved teacher who bears the name of Izarick Barack.
The training consisted of:
-Attack unit-Tank unit
-Unit healers or priests- Unit of tanks
-Unit of wizards, witches and archers- Unit of tanks.
And the command of the troops left them to someone else, after all that was not their thing.
Since, for the girl, the best thing was to attack from the front and that's it.
The attack unit was mobilized and accompanied the girl between the enemy lines.
-I won't lose here! I'm going back to Nii-sama and the others! (Sora)
That was the honest thought of the girl as she danced between blood and monsters without letting anything stain her small body.
Test room 2
-It's cold here! (Drigil)
Said a little girl belonging to the powerful Dragon race. This could be easily deduced from seeing its limbs covered in hard scales.
Beneath his feet is a huge pile of monster corpses.
She was on a huge snow covered mountain, and the current weather was not the best of all, a storm is currently passing through the place.
-Commander! (Man A)
-yes? (Drigil)
-I come to inform you that we have already exterminated all the monsters in the central area, we are waiting for you to return to take the next course of action! (Man A)
-Well done, well come on, I can't keep you waiting. (Drigil)
The girl got down from that pile of corpses and started walking next to the man who came to give her a report.
-I can overcome this challenge, I will do it for the sake of being with my teacher (Drigil)
With that thought, the girl came to the camp where those men she led met. And so decide the next course of action.
Test room 4
In a decrepit forest, the trees are dry, they do not have a single leaf on their branches, the small bats flew in herds from one side to the other.
A girl jumps from branch to branch, from tree to tree like some kind of ninja moving at high speed.
In her right hand she holds a metallic oxidian bow with crimson red markings.
Her deep purple hair moves like the wind, and her night-colored eyes sparkle like dark gems.
The girl stops right at the point where the trees stopped appearing. A circle is formed by all that area, totally clear. And there gathered.
A herd of monsters is encountered.
The girl when she saw them made a sign with the hand that did not hold the bow. After several seconds later, a group of men came to her side and stood in the nearby trees.
-At my signal, they will start attacks from different positions, the time between attacks will be 20s. Tell that to the leaders of each group. (Violet)
With that, the men nodded and left, the girl waited several minutes before preparing the signal.
He raised his bow and pointed at the group of monsters. I take the bowstring and stretch it as far as it will go, a metallic arrow began to appear and a black flame began to form at the tip of it.
-the distance to the target is 400m… it will be easy to hit the entire center… (Violeta)
Calming her breathing the girl prepared to release the arrow.
The girl releases the arrow and it begins to travel at high speed towards its target.
After 3 seconds, the arrow hits the ground and what happens next ...
It is a huge explosion that kills several of the monsters.
That was the signal for the first group to start the attack on the pack.
Test room 3
A fierce battle was taking place.
The thunderous sounds of battle echoed throughout the metropolis that was currently the battlefield.
A giant of gray skin and 10m tall, tried to hit those men who were at his feet. His huge fists hit the ground leaving small craters.
Another group of approximately 80 monsters was fighting in the vicinity against another group of 89 members.
The gray giant sent all the men close to him flying with one hand and proceeded to head towards the other group.
Raising his fist, he attacked the one who was closest, a little 10-year-old girl, who upon noticing the attack of that giant could only remain paralyzed with fear.
-------- watch out!!!! (Izarick)
A red-haired boy shouted the name of that girl who turned to see him, the tears that came from his eyes and that expression of terror, only made the boy's chest hurt, because it made him remember an unwanted past.
In the next millisecond, the boy disappeared from the girl's vision and reappeared, but this time, in front of her.
With his arms he pushed her.
Taking her out of the path of that fist.
The red-haired boy was the one who received the full blow and was sent flying so that he crashed into a pillar that was still intact ...
The strong impact of the child's body against the pillar, caused it to be destroyed.
-… Izarick… kun… Izarick-kun! Izarick-kun! Izarick-kun! (?)
The desperate cries of the girl began to be heard ...
His sight could only see how the remains of that pillar were stained with the blood of that red-haired boy who was his savior moments ago.
The image of the destroyed and deformed body of that child came to his mind, because he could only imagine the worst scenario.
- ... Izarick-kun! ... you ... YOU KILLED HIM, YOU KILLED HIM, YOU KILLED HIM! I WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU, I WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU! (?)
The girl's enraged screams rang out like the new tune of this battle.
New waves of mana began to be released from his body.
An enormous power that not even she knew she possessed was beginning to emanate.
Her hair began to rock as if it had a life of its own.
And an enormous thirst for blood was directed against that gray giant.
.
.
.
Now.
How was what? Felia, Sora, Drigil, Violeta and our protagonist Izarick ended up in 5 totally different places
I guess we'll have to get back a few hours before they come to this.
