Chapter 96: The Fantasy Illusion Ring (1/2)

”That was a Grand Mage!?”

Aleshia shouted in shock. She felt totally vulnerable against him. His power was on another level compared to Reon and that demon woman.

”I believe so. Only a Grand Mage could make me feel so powerless.”

Olgar nodded his head grimly. He never expected that a Grand Mage would appear. The only thing he remembered happening was seeing Ella's Mana Resonating Stone floating in her palm.

'It couldn't be!? Was that really Space Magic??'

Olgar immediately thought of a possibility. He remembers hearing the mysterious man say that it was space magic. What the hell was space magic anyway? It was something that Olgar never heard or encountered before.

”Anyways, let's go before they wake up.”

Olgar recovered himself and urged them all. They nodded and followed him to leave the Testing Grounds.

…

”... And after that, they enrolled into the Undrasil Mage Academy. I haven't gotten into contact with them ever since.”

Olgar finished his narration to Lawrend. Right now, they were sitting inside a cafe. Olgar's story was just so long for Lawrend to listen while standing.

”How do I enter this Undrasil Mage Academy?”

Lawrend asked Olgar with a serious expression.

”With your Elite Mage status, you may be able to take the test. But it's not easy. The test filters all of the applicants to only the best of the best. If you can't outshine them, you'll fail.”

Olgar explained to Lawrend.

”What happens if you fail?”

Lawrend asked curiously.

”You won't be able to take the test for 2 years.”

Olgar answered.

”That long?”

Lawrend looked at Olgar in disbelief. That means that if he fails the test, then he wouldn't be able to meet Aleshia and the rest for another 2 years.

Or unless he wants to wait in front of the inn every day till they come out. But even with that, they were already enrolled in the academy. He won't be able to meet them every day.

”Yes. This is so the applicants will give their best for the test. Many don't want to miss 2 years' worth of education. Their peers will leave them in the dust if that happened.”

Olgar nodded his head and explained to Lawrend.

”When is the next examination day?”

Lawrend asked Olgar with gritted teeth. He's gonna make it into the academy no matter what!

”Next week.”

Olgar replied.

”I'm assuming that they accept True Mages, right?”

Lawrend asked Olgar. Since Elena was able to enter, then True Mages should be accepted.

”They do. ...Wait! Are you a True Mage already!?”

Olgar nodded his head, and he quickly realized what Lawrend's words implied.

”Yes.”

Lawrend nodded his head candidly.

”A monster. If you didn't start late, you may be at my level already.”

Olgar smiled wryly. He knows that Lawrend only started practicing magic recently. As for him, he had been practicing magic since he was 7 years old.

”Haha, maybe…”

Lawrend's cheeks couldn't help but twitch after hearing Olgar's words. His hate for his father has ignited once again. That old man didn't even consider testing if he could practice magic or not.

”Anyways, I still have something to do. I'll be staying in a nearby inn.”

Lawrend stood up and bid farewell to Olgar.

”Alright. I'll be at the Mage Guild. Come there if you have any problems.”
