“By the way, Ren. Do you know what we should when we arrived at the magic academy?” (Alfred)

“Hm? I don’t know anything,” Answered Oz indifferently.

“Is that so… What!? You don’t know!?” (Alfred)

“Shouldn’t we be briefed when we arrived there?” (Oz)

“No, we don’t! Seriously? You guys didn’t know anything about the magic academy test?” (Albus)

Oz, Alfred, Edreale, Sen, and Peter shook their heads.

Albus leaked out a small sigh.

“Every time the magic academy opens the registration, there will always be 3 tests. The first test is strength, the second test will be mana, and the third will be a showdown between two magic academy student candidate,” (Albus)

“The first and the second test will be opened at 10 AM, while candidates who pass the test will be announced in the afternoon immediately, and the third test is the last one, the sword god, the magic academy headmaster, the queen, and the 10 great generals of Grandaria kingdom will be watching the fight,” (Albus)

“……..” (Peter)

“Will the one who lost the fight, failed the test?” (Oz)

“No, all candidate who shows great potential will be put at a different class than the others,” (Albus)

“I see… They’re harvesting young talents for the kingdom, heh.” (Oz)

“Yup, basically, they are,” (Albus)

“…Eh? Wait. You said 10 AM, you know how to count time, Albus?” Oz suddenly asked with a surprised face.

“Huh? Are you mocking me, Ren? Of course, I know it,” (Albus)

“Eh, no, I mean, it’s just the first time I heard someone mentioned the time here, so I thought, wait, so you guys knew how to count time, too?” (Oz)

“Of course we do,” (Alfred)

“What happened to your head, Ren? You’re okay?” (Edreale)

(God, It looks like I underestimate the development of this world too much) (Oz)

(Um… Master, I don’t know whether you’re stupid or not, but, don’t you know that there is a clock at the inn last night?) (Fenrir)

(There’s a clock!?) (Oz)

“(Yes, master…) (Reo)

(Shit, it’s embarrassing!) (Oz)

“Ah, it’s okay, I’m fine, maybe because of the lack of sleep,” (Oz)

“Okay then, let’s go quickly, let’s not get late at our first day,” Oz said and walk at a faster pace.

“Is he really okay?” (Albus)

“I’m not sure about that,” (Sen)

*********************************

Oz and co preferred walking to the magic academy rather than renting another wagon or riding a carriage because they could sightsee more clearly and at their own pace.

“That, that huge building that looks like a castle, is the magic academy?” (Oz)

“Yea, that Is the Avalon magic academy, it’s our destination,” (Albus)

“Then let’s go there quickly, how about a race to the magic academy?” Oz suggested to his friends with a smirk.

“I agree, it’ll be fun,” (Alfred)

“I’ll win,” (Sen)

“No, I’ll win,” (Edreale)

“I’m in,” (Peter)

“What? Race?” (Albus)

“3. 2. 1. GO!” Oz count down and Alfred, Sen, Edreale, Peter, and Oz ran to the magic academy as fast as they could.

The speed of 4 sword saint is fast, but the one racing with them is Oz. Oz could only barely catch up with their pace, but Oz had one trick to defeat them.

“Fire Wings,” (Oz)

A wing of fire suddenly appeared behind Oz, and his speed got multiplied for two folds.

“Hey! That’s cheating!” Peter who is taking the race seriously, shouted.

“Ren! It’s not fair!” (Edreale)

“There are no rules that said you may not use any magic or skills!” (Oz)

“Hmph! Wind magic, Typhoon!” Peter followed suit and used his wind magic, his speed matched Oz’s speed immediately.

“Ugh… You’re not that different from him, Peter!!!” (Alfred)

The citizens who watched them confusedly, ‘Is there a festival?’ thought them. And all of them end up thinking that it is the work of the magic academy reminding the people who want to take on the test.

Oz suddenly stopped at the huge gate of the magic academy.

“Whoa,” (Oz)

All of the people who want to apply to the magic academy dress with fancy clothes and look rich, Oz leaked out a sound of surprise when he saw this.

(Do nobles is the only one who could apply at this academy?) (Oz)

Oz arrived first, and then Peter arrived as the second, and then Edreale, Sen, and Alfred arrived together, but Albus is nowhere to be seen.

“You’re cheating, Ren,” (Peter)

“But you did the same thing as I did right?” (Oz)

“Nonono, both of you cheated,” (Alfred)

“It’s unfair,” Edreale pouted.

Oz smiled seeing Peter had started more and more open and having more conversation with them, but there is a bigger problem they should be thinking right now.

“Guys, where is Albus?” (Peter)

“That fatty… Didn’t he should have at least one spell that would help him move faster?” (Oz)

“Ren, that’s mean,” (Edreale)

“I’m getting kinda worried here,” (Alfred)

“There, I saw something red,” Said Sen as he pointed at something in the air.

“I-is that Albus?” (Alfred)

Oz observes the red figure more clearly, it’s moving with a lot of effort, it moves downwards and upwards as if it’s holding something so heavy.

“That is Albus,” (Oz)

Albus’s body is so heavy that even his spell is having a hard time lifting him up. As Albus got nearer, they could see his face is in a deep concentrate state and he is sweating profusely. 

Albus finally catch the sight of them, and he descends to the ground, his sweat had made his clothes wet, and his face is pale.

*Whoosh*

Winds blew to Albus, drying his clothes and refreshing him, Peter seemed to be the one who made the wind.

“Are you okay, Alby?” (Oz)

“Do I look like I’m okay? And who is Alby anyway,” (Albus)

“Hahaha, don’t you look healthier this way, and Alby is a nickname I found for you, it suits your name, and your body,” (Oz)

“I like how it sounds,” (Alfred)

“Yea, it sounds cute,” (Edreale)

“Don’t randomly give me a nickname!” (Albus)

“Calm down, Alby. Now, where should we go?” (Oz)

Albus sighs, slightly annoyed. He observes the magic academy and his eyes lits up.

“Come on guys! The first test will be started soon! Let’s register ourselves first!” Albus said as he hurriedly walks to the registration counter.

The magic academy is at the corner of the capital, there is a forest behind the building that will look rather creepy at night. When Oz and co followed Albus to the counter, people’s attention gathered at them.

“That. Isn’t that Albus Theodore? The magic god’s son?”

“Yea, and isn’t that the merciless, Sen? He’s so cool!”

“That’s the bard, Edreale!”

“And that’s the shadow, Alfred, right? The three sword saint siblings are applying to the magic academy?”

“The rumors are true, there are a lot of geniuses applying to the magic academy!” 

“Why are the archmage, Albus is together with them?”

“Who are the other two people together with them?” 

“You’re not famous, Peter,” (Oz)

“You’re not that different, Ren,” (Peter)

“Yea, you’re not famous, Ren,” (Alfred)

“Sorry, we, peasants are talking here, please don’t disturb us, Mr famous” Oz teases Alfred back.

“Let’s just quickly register ourselves guys,” (Albus)

Oz and co followed Albus and registered themselves. The counter staff will ask the registrant name, age, and hometown. But it’s up to the registrant to fill the hometown part or not. Oz decided to leave it a blank. The staff checked a list filled with names and said to Oz: “So you’re Mr. Ren Arken, the headmaster had told us about you beforehand, your registration had approved, please enter, Mr. Ren Arken, you don’t need to join any test, but your 3rd test will be arranged by the headmaster personally,”

(The headmaster?) (Oz)

(You know the academy headmaster, master?) (Fenrir)

(No, I never met him before) (Oz)

(Then how could the headmaster know you?) (Fenrir)

(It must be because of that old man…) (Oz)

After they finished registering themselves, an announcement suddenly sounded: “To all candidates of the Avalon magic academy, the first test will soon start, please gather at the training grounds of the magic academy,” 

The voice belongs to a woman, it sounds smooth, Oz estimate she’s not more than 25 years old.

“You hear that, let’s go to the training grounds then. Alby, show us the way,” (Oz)

“What am I? Your guide? Well whatever, follow me,” (Albus)

Oz observes the people around him, it’s filled with noble kids and rich kids, they wear fancy clothes and some of them walk arrogantly.

“Is only nobles and rich kids are the only ones who could apply at the magic academy?” (Oz)

“It isn’t. Anyone should be able to apply for the magic academy, but usually, commoners don’t have that much of talent, and even if they have talent, none of them had enough guts like you to dive into the pool of arrogant nobles,” (Albus)

“I see…” (Oz)

Albus led everyone to the training grounds. When everyone had arrived at the training grounds, another announcement sounded.

“The first test will start, those who have valid registration will be displayed on the list, and those who are rejected will not appear on the list,”

“Where is the list?” (Sen)

A similar sound that always appears when Oz summon a status board from his appraisal card suddenly appeared together with a huge floating board with lists of the magic academy candidates.

“Whoa!” A surprised and amazed voice sounded on the whole training grounds.

The announcement sounded once more: “As you could see behind you, the number next your name is your turn number, when the number is called, it means it is your turn to enter the first test,”

“Ah! That’s our name!” Alfred said as he pointed Sen, Edreale, and his name in a three consecutive row.

“That’s mine,” (Peter)

“And that’s mine,” (Albus)

Oz scanned the board list multiple times, but the name he’s searching couldn’t be found.

“Where is my name?” (Oz)
