6 Blue Blood Academy (1/2)

Danielle woke up in the inn and left early in the morning. She was excited about today. She grabbed her bag filled with her clothes and a map before taking off towards Blue Blood academy. It took her no longer than 5 minutes to find the giant fancy looking academy and the unbelievably long line full of people.

”You'd think an academy as famous as this one would have a better way of testing entrants for their school, but nope everybody get in a line and wait your turn!”

She was somehow found by Rose and Cedar and the three waited in line for their turn.

”Hey guys! Do you know how they are even doing the testing?” Danielle asked curiously.

”No. Our grandfather would not tell us. But we believe they'll do it with a talent orb.” Rose answered her.

'If that orb is what I think it is, This test should be a piece of cake for me then. I'm sure I have unlimited potential or something as Majin Buu.' Danielle thought, eager to show off her mind-blowing talent.

”Talent orbs are very hard to get a hold of. People say that it's under strict control of the powerful.”

”Probably because they don't want all the poor people to know of their potential.” Danielle said thinking back to all the novels she read. She knew that the rich and powerful don't like to share.

Danielle noticed a couple of C's in line far ahead of her and was getting even more excited. Maybe she'll get to fight and see more abilities. It wasn't until nearly an hour later that she, Rose, and Cedar finally reached the gates and saw an elderly figure and a beautiful young woman wearing blue wizard robes. Danielle saw a young dwarf putting his hand on a black orb and the orb started to swirl a mass of colors and shapes before taking the form of a flaming axe.

”Failed.” The old wizard announced.

”What?! But isn't that good?! It shows I have the potential to be a strong dwarf warrior!”

”You would be right. If your fire was enough to singe this very desk we are sitting at. But this flame wouldn't be enough to cook a green lizard. If you truly believe your talent with an axe is superb, show us.” He said before pulling out an axe from his robe for the dwarf to use and throwing a green booger looking thing on the ground in front of the boy.

Danielle could see that the dwarf had no skill in using an axe whatsoever and probably never held one in his life based on how he was holding the weapon against the green booger that morphed into an slime axe warrior. The boy seemed to take on a good attitude though. He waited for his opponent to move and watched carefully. The people behind her started jeering and cursing at the boy for making them wait even longer. The dwarf was being affected by their comments and that's when the slime attacked. It leaped in the air aiming it's axehead down at the boy and he clumsily rose his weapon to defend. The old man shook his head and the woman looked away.

”Failed! Please exit the way you came.” He said with slight louder volume.

The dwarf held his head in shame as he held onto the axe and walked away, being made fun of and mocked by the rest of the potential students in the line. Danielle started to feel bad for the boy, but then again you can't just show up to one of the greatest schools in the country without some type of training, skill, or background and hope that you have the luck or potential necessary to pass without issue. Next up was Rose. She gracefully shook her long hair and stepped in front of the two examiners.

”Go ahead.”

Rose put her hand on the talent orb and it cracked after 5 seconds of swirling through colors and shapes. This caused a brief smile on the older examiner's face and a look of slight interest from the younger examiner.

”Please try this one.” He said as he pulled out a bigger talent orb that Rose had to put both palms on.

This orb was more durable than the last and properly shown Rose's talent. Steam could be seen rising from the orb as it showed a staff with blue liquid surrounding it.

”Congratulations. You have passed the opening examinations. Please head inside and receive further instructions Miss…”

”Rose Fiorello.”

He seems to have been enlighten after she stated her last name and wasn't so surprised.

”No wonder.. You're his granddaughter. Talent's in the family.” He said with a smile.

She left and Cedar put his hand on the small talent orb as they put away the medium talent orb that Rose used. The orb cracked again and they looked at him.

”Cedar Fiorello correct?” The man asked.

Cedar nodded and they let him inside without trouble. Some of the people were about to complain about the unfair treatment but the people who knew who those two were let them know exactly who they are. Even Danielle didn't know that much about those two because honestly she didn't care. But now it was her turn! She walked up to the two and smiled widely. They gave her the small orb and she put her palm on it and it instantly burst into pieces. The examiners were both surprised as a blue magical shield blocked the pieces of the broken orb.

”That was a first… But no problem. Try this one.” He said bringing out the medium orb.

Danielle grinned as she placed one palm on the medium orb.

*BANG*

A repeat situation of the first one and the woman smiled strangely at Danielle while the old man seemed to be getting very excited.

”Miss! What is your name! Where did you come from?! Who is your backer?!” The old man assaulted her with questions but was promptly silenced by the much younger woman wizard next to him.

”Let her finish before barraging her with questions.” She said while taking out a large talent orb that was bigger than all three of their heads combined.

Danielle grabbed the orb and a huge swirl of different colors and shapes appeared. They changed so frequently that it seemed that Danielle's talent encompassed the entire world. This caused a real beautiful smile to appear on the female wizard's face, which looked pretty scary to Danielle. Like she had a great plan for her. And hey! The talent orb cracked slightly at the top before the swirls of colors and shapes turned to black. All three of them became confused and Danielle knocked on the talent orb. The Talent orb restarted and only showed the M that stood for Majin. Both the examiners were confused and the woman walked up to Danielle and stood over her.

”Would you like to become my apprentice?” She asked.

Danielle thought about it for a moment. Does she even need a master or teacher? What could this lady teach her that she couldn't learn on her own or get? She doesn't know anything about this lady except that she probably plans to use her for her own benefits.

”What do you have to offer?” Danielle asked.

It seems this question took the woman back for a second before she realized that Danielle didn't know who the heck she was. She coughed as she realized her mistake.

”I am one of the kingdoms great-----”

”Blah blah blah lady. I asked what do you have to offer me. I don't care about your status in this kingdom.” Danielle cut her off.

Danielle saw that the impressive lady magus didn't like that but she really wanted to get her on her side. She secretly smiled inside as the woman swallowed her pride.

”I.. am willing to give you personal training from myself, any additional training resources you need, and a spot in the S-class group.”

”Hmmmmm” Danielle intentionally hummed out. As if saying these choices were something to think about and not instantly take. She smiled at the slightly desperate magus before saying her answer.

”I'll get into the S-class without a problem. They'll probably need to make an SSS class for me hehe but instead of the S-class thing, why don't you let me decide what I want at a later date?” Danielle told her.

She seemed nervous for some reason but quickly hid it away.

”Fine but you must become my official apprentice! I won't accept anything less.”

Danielle grinned at her new ”teacher” and patted her on the shoulder.

”Yes Master. Please guide me along to the unseeable heights of magic!” Danielle said before walking off and into the Academy doors. She walked towards a desk and a student badge magically appeared on her chest. Her clothes were transformed and she had on a blue colored student outfit. Despite being forcefully put into some different clothes, Danielle didn't think much of it and looked at her badge. It had her information listed on it event though she hasn't even told anyone her name yet.
