Chapter 101 - The Class And The Color (1/2)

Evan left the house and headed for the academy. On his way out of the village, he saw Fien, Enni, Katlyn and the other members of his group, but not all of them. Evan didn't ask where they were, he`d already known the answer and it didn't bother him much. Right now, he was interested only in the entrance exam and nothing else.

Today, at the Academy of Magic it would be decided not only what type of student he would become, internal or external, but he would finally find out what his Class was.

As Zak had said him earlier, almost all magicians found out their Class at the Academy of Magic. It took special methods to determine this. Of course, one could spend many months studying the spells of the different Types of Magic, but it was impractical. It was much more efficient to go to the Academy of Magic.

The exam was still about two hours away, so Evan took his time. He walked calmly among the dense green forest heading towards the big city.

Today it would be the intake in ”The Last Moon”, so the whole town was in turmoil. To Evan's surprise when he approached the walls of the city, he saw no guards, only two men in white mantles.

One was staring at everyone who entered the city, while the other was writing something in a small book. Today was a special day, hundreds of newbie magicians were coming to the Academy.

As Evan approached the entrance, he was asked his name and told where to go. Evan nodded and headed towards the second zone. Then he reached the first zone and then he was led to the entrance of the main part, namely ”The Last Moon” building.

He was struck by the grandeur of the Academy building. It was a whole complex of buildings of different shapes, each one huge and looking impressive. Compared to it, the ”Tower of Magic” in Mossy Vulture looked pale and ordinary.

Evan hadn't been inside yet, but he could safely say that ”The Last Moon” was as big as any medium-sized city.

Unfortunately, Evan couldn't go inside right now, he had been directed to where the entrance exam would be held. As Evan walked, he looked at the buildings around him with amazement. The buildings were in the Gothic style and created an impressive monumental architectural structure.

...

After a while, Evan reached the right place and saw a real square with hundreds of newbie magicians ready to take the exam.

Everyone was waiting for the beginning of the exam, which was supposed to take place in ten minutes. Everyone behaved differently, some were noticeably nervous, some were excited, and some were completely calm. Since Evan wasn`t in a hurry, he was among the last to arrive in the square. Almost everyone had already been there.

Whoosh.

Exactly ten minutes later, the massive gate in front of the square opened. It was the moment everyone had been waiting for.

Two men and a woman in white mantles walked out to the applicants. At that moment, a sepulchral silence fell over the square. No one spoke, and no small whispers could be heard.

A woman with long black hair stepped forward and said loudly: ”Welcome, everyone! I'll be brief, you know the purpose you have come here for. Now, each of you will go in turn to the evaluation center. We will know your Class and the color of your 'Warps”, and then we will go to the underground arena where the exam will take place.”

Everyone just nodded silently, waiting for the beginning. Three magicians in white mantles entered the huge building to the left of the square.
