Chapter 102 - The Scythe (1/2)
”Finally.” Evan said quietly and headed toward the evaluation center.
Along with him, there were two girls, who also stayed for last. Evan glimpsed them. They were both completely calm, and there was boundless confidence in their gaze.
Click.
The last trio stepped inside and the man in the white mantle closed the front door.
...
The evaluation center was one large, spacious room, quite unremarkable , except the huge, aquamarine crystal in the center. The crystal was glowing faintly, and a woman in a white mantle was standing beside it.
Seeing the last three applicants, the man put his hand to the crystal and waited for the test to begin.
The woman turned to the young people: ”Come to the crystal and put your palms to it. At that moment, you should enter your ”Nirvana”, and then just concentrate. We'll run a quick check and let you know the results.”
Evan and the girls nodded and then approached the crystal. Naturally, no one was going to explain how the method worked, they just had to follow the directions and that was it.
Whoosh.
As they were told, the three magicians put their palms to the crystal and entered ”Nirvana”.
Evan thought to himself, <Hmm, and how are they going to test our Class and Color of the ”Warp”?
He was curious about the method itself, because only in the incredible places like the Academies of Magic, it could be done something like that.
When the trio entered ”Nirvana”, the woman made sure they closed their eyes and saw nothing, she made a sign to the man.
Whoosh.
The next moment strange changes began to happen to the crystal. Three purple dots appeared inside it, which gradually turned into creatures resembling spirits.
For a while they swirled around the crystal in a circle, until finally they separated and headed toward the palms of the young men.
That was the way the magician's Class and color of the ”Warps” were tested. Of course, it wasn't all about spirits, it was about the crystal and a special spell of Summoning Magic.
After a couple of minutes, the man calmly said: ”Mya Berry, the Class is ”Creator”, the 'Warp” is purple. Hollie Francis, the Class is ”Creator”, the ”Warp” - purple. Evan Lynch, the Class is...”
...
<А? What is that?”>. Thought to himself Evan being in ”Nirvana”.
Suddenly a purple spirit entered ”Nirvana”, Evan was discouraged by what was happening, but he didn't do anything about it. It was obvious that this was all some kind of test.
Evan watched the spirit closely. It swirled around Evan's crimson ”Warp,” and then flew inside. To know the color of the ”Warp”, the spirit simply had to see it, but to determine the Class, the spirit would have to enter the ”Warp”. It was a standard procedure, that hundreds of magicians had already gone through today, and Evan was no exception.
Whoosh.
The spirit came close to the crimson orb and circled around it once more to enter. Everything was going according to the usual scenario, but suddenly Evan realized something.
<My ”Warp” is neither white nor purple, if they find out that it's crimson, I could be in trouble. But...what am I supposed to do?!>
Evan didn't know if that was good or bad, but he'd never heard of a magician who had crimson ”Warp” . Even if it was a good thing, he would draw too much attention to himself from outsiders anyway, and he didn't want that.
Tremble.
Suddenly Evan felt strange, he couldn't describe the feeling, but at that moment all his attention was on another phenomenon.
A purple spirit had entered the ”Warp” and was about to leave, but suddenly something inexplicable happened.
