"WELCOME EVERYONE TO THE BIANNUAL MYROC TOWER TRIALS"
BOOOOM
With this statement, countless fireworks exploded through the sky illuminating the open field in bright colors. Of course, these fireworks were all created by magic so they only added to the already magical environment of Myroc.
After the loud celebratory welcoming finally settled down the man continued.
"My name is Nikolai" he said introducing himself
"As I'm sure you all know our Myroc Tower puts great importance on keeping the heritage of our predecessor strong and as a pupil of the current tower master I have the great honor of being in charge of this years trials!" Nikolai informed them
With all the theatrics finally settling, everyone got a good look at the mage floating above them.
"holy..." one girl murmured to herself
"Kyaaa I think I'm in love!" another girl shouted causing multiple girls around her to nod their heads in agreement.
Looking at the scene happening around them the noises of jealous men gritting their teeth could be heard everywhere. Even Wyatt was caught off guard when he saw the young man floating above him, He had been expecting some old wise looking man with a long grey beard but instead was met with someone who looked more like an idol or model in his 20s.
Nikolai could only awkwardly rub the back of his head while waiting for the whispering to finish.
"I am happy to announce that this time we have over 30 thousand participants which is by far the highest record in the history of our trials. Because of the abundance of participants this time we have decided to split everyone into 3 groups for taking the test."
Waving his hand once again small pieces of paper flew out of Niokolai's sleeves falling into the hands of everyone in the vicinity.
Wyatt watched as the thin paper lightly floated down into his and before flipping it over
~Group three~
Now that he knew his group number Wyatt looked back up waiting for the mage to continue.
"On your paper will be a number from 1-3 although we would love to allow all 30 thousand of you to take the trials at once it is simply impossible so instead we decided to send 3 batches in one after another" Nikolai declared
Some older men and women complained since this would obviously end up extending the time for the trials to finish by multiple hours but they couldn't do anything about it.
with the introduction finished Nikolai started going into more detail about the specifics of the trials. As he did a screen flashed in front of every player below with the details of the trials written in front of them.
[Myroc Tower Trials]
[200 years ago Archmage Lachlan Marrow Decided to settle in the town of Myroc while building a magic tower to help him raise talented apprentices. Since his time the Tower has continued to test young adventures in the 5 major categories strength, defense, mana, agility, and endurance....]
Reading through all the boring details of the different tests Wyatt realized that he would be stuck waiting around for his turn for at least a couple of hours so with nothing better to do he sat down crisscross applesauce and started focusing on training his mana manipulation.
Around him, people started murmuring
"haha look at that guy trying so hard...."
"What an idiot training so hard won't make any difference..."
Wyatt could hear those and many more other comments but he didn't really care since he was just killing time with nothing better to do anyways.
Above the crowd, Nikolai nodded his head in agreement at the boys choice.
Unlike everyone else who looked down on him, a pair of narrow eyes watched Wyatt for a minute before following his lead and focusing on their own mana training.
"Hahaha Looks like the idiot has an accomplice" someone shouted noticing a girl sitting
"Pfft at least this one is a pretty girl!" Multiple men laughed out
"Wait guys I think I've seen her face before..." one boy murmured out but somehow everyone managed to hear him and turned to look at the girl.
"Hmmmm..... I REMEMBER NOW!" the boy shouted " That's Hazel Alastair the famous pro player and heiress of AlaStar Corporations.
Suddenly the crowd silenced as they stared at the beautiful young woman now sitting down across from Wyatt focusing on her training.
AlaStar Corporation is Britains' leading airline and transportation company that brought in over 34 billion dollars in income just last year. Founded 60 years ago by the late Edgar Alastair, AlaStar has continued to grow yearly slowly branching off into many different sections of the travel industry.
Hazel Alastair being the sole daughter of AlaStars current CEO William Alastair is of course set the inherit the fortune sometime in the future.
Unlike her father and grandfather before her, Hazel never really seemed to care for the business world and instead chose to pursue her passion in competitive video games quickly becoming a pro at just 15 years old and rising to a massive celebrity status with millions of followers over the past couple years.
Wyatt who didn't pay much attention to social media or murmuring around him was completely oblivious to the scene of fans freaking out around them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Only a handful of meters away from Wyatt the same group that followed him all the way to Moric was Discussing.
"Lukas, are you sure it's a good idea for us to mess with him?" one boy whispered
"Shut up Harry! I told you he just got lucky last time. I didn't sleep well the night before that must be why I got so tired during the fight but this time ill prove for good that I'm stronger!" Lukas Angrily yelled at the boy frightening him.
"B..B..But what if Instructor Lavon Punishes us for not listening to him" The boy murmured visibly shaking at the thought of being in trouble with his instructor.
"Oh hush already even if we get in trouble I'm Lavons best student he wouldn't make a big deal out of this. Plus when I prove that I'm actually stronger than that brat no one will be able to look down on our Swordsmanship field" Stated Lukas finally shutting the boy up
"By the way what groups are you all in?" he asked quickly receiving a series of replies.
"Good the majority of us are in the first 2 groups..."
WOOOOSH
"WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY LET THE TRIALS COMMENCE!" Shouted Nikolai
