18 Exams at the Sina Academy 3 (1/2)
The lesson lasted more than two hours and was quite interesting. This young teacher involved her students which made her lessons very lively and fun. Interactions between high-students and student-teacher allowed everyone to exchange their points of view, to broaden their sometimes narrow vision, to see things from another angle and so was also a kind of learning during the lesson that was the neck itself. At the end of the lesson Ayleen went to the candidates' area and found that the first test had just started.
Two pillars approximately two meters high, placed in front of the platform were used to test the mana density contained in each, for this simple test it was enough to place his hand against the central white area of one of these pillars and a number between zero and twelve would come out.
It goes without saying that it was better to have twelve than zero. For those who wanted to enter the branch of the magical academy. For those who were aiming for the branch of the chivalry academy, though important, it was a little less so. The story to prove that among the best knight and fighter many did not use magical reinforcement techniques. In the past years to enter the academy a minimum of three to four were required, which allowed from the outset a quick sorting of individual abilities.
Many young people passed the numbers from one to five and then a tall young man with a beautiful appearance and clothes of the best quality stepped forward. He looked so haughty that obviously he alone seemed to deserve to live in this world. He placed his hand on the second pillar, a sizzle was heard and to general surprise the figure eight came out.
He did not smile at his personal achievement but turned around. ”I am Sven Svenson second son of Marquis Svenson. Today I have been able to witness many shameful eliminations which lost precious time to the genius that I am. I am convinced that the majority of these people knew their mana density in advance. Therefore, if yesterday your figure was two, it is unlikely that today the figure five has appeared. While you are here to get foolishly eliminated you are also wasting the time of the teachers assigned to this exam who could give lessons to our elders right now. You are waste of time at the academy and people with the real ability to enter. You should be ashamed of yourself. ”
Although what he had just said was pretentious, he walked away to the applause of many parents and candidates who began to wonder why so many children came in with a mana density of zero, one or two, knowing that if they wanted to enter chivalry, these children could report their abilities and return to take the sword practice exam the following week. Soon those who knew themselves below the threshold of acceptance for fear of the lynching began to panic and many retreated from themselves quickly. Thus more than half of the candidates disappeared in the space of two minutes.
Ayleen, who came back late, was at the end of the queue and did not want to wait for hours for nothing. [How painful this waiting is. If I was not in this awkward position as a candidate, I will have been in front for a long time. I have to find a boy. The ideal would be a ugly, a little shy so that I can embed myself at his side.]
She shifted slightly and looked at the front of the line and found the ideal target.
He was perfect, his legs short, a belly so round that if it was a woman, one would think that her delivery would be near. Long arms reaching his knees with large, hairy hands, a huge red nose, not to mention his pimples in large numbers like pustules that adorned his faces. A typical case of commoner according to Ayleen but also an excellent right of way.
So she passed in front of everyone, not without being criticized, but she maintained that she just greeted a friend and that she would then return to her place and approached the orang-utan and with a cute look. ”Hello, I was six places behind you, but two boys were sticking to me, so I approached for protection Forgive me but I did not know how to do otherwise.” When I saw your broad shoulders and your Manly and powerful hands, I knew that near a man like you they would not dare to bother me, would you care to take care of me for a few minutes? ”
The orangutan, both flattered and embarrassed, did not know where to look. Since when has a beautiful girl spoken to her? Easy, never never except her mother and his eleven sisters. A girl her age did not even look at it and now this beauty seems to be a little interested in his body. Would girls in the capital have different beauty criteria? Anyway if he protected her, this girl could really fall under her bestial spell and then as his father told him that he would become a man.
The orang-utang gathered his courage and did his best to look at Ayleen. ”Of course, my strengths will be at your service. I will become your knight and far from you I will send all these peasants.”
