Bab 8: Elemental Tests [1]
****
The final member of the main cast had entered.
With purple hair and lavender eyes, he stood out from the rest of the boys in the class.
Ren Silvermoon, the third weakest first year in the whole batch.
But rather than giving him gazes filled with mockery or anything, not a single stare was cast upon him.
All because of one person.
And that person entered right behind him.
With long dark purple hair and abyssal black eyes, a woman entered the class.
Athena Silvermoon, also the homeroom teacher of Class C-20.
She was also the sister of Ren, thus why nobody dared look at him with contempt.
Nobody wanted to court death here in any way since everyone knew Athena was not a normal teacher.
She was the only 9th Order Clovist in all of humanity and the vice-principal of Eldergrove Academy.
And also, the only [Space] element clovist in humanity.
Without any words to each other, both siblings parted ways as Athena headed towards the podium and Ren started climbing the stairs.
Reaching the backbencher duo, the young purple-haired boy smiled.
"If you guys don't mind, can you make some space for me to sit?" He asked politely.
Michael quickly nodded while Amon eyed the boy observingly.
Ren was no different than his sister. Their talents and prowess were something not to be reckoned with, in the later stages of the novel.
The only reason Ren was even this weak right now was because of his past with the family.
There was no need to study their names.
Though others might have never heard of them, Amon certainly knew everything about them.
The Silvermoons.
Something that was...…
His thoughts were disrupted as Athena coughed to get the class' attention.
"Good Morning, I'm Athena Silvermoon. Your homeroom teacher and also the vice-principal of this academy." She spoke sternly, eyeing everyone in the class with her cold eyes.
As if she was evaluating their worth.
As her eyes passed through Amon, he saw her right eye light up for a fraction of a second.
But it returned to normal in the next second, making him think it might have just been a hallucination.
"Alright. Since today's the first class, let's just take attendance before heading over to check your powers." She explained before starting.
"Elizabeth?"
"Present."
"Alya?"
"Present."
"Liliana?"
"Here."
"Charlotte?"
"Present!"
And kept going on and on while the students also kept looking at the specific student when their name was announced.
After a long gruesome wait, she finally reached the last roll numbers.
"Ren?" She asked, her voice softer than before.
"Yup."
She gave him a stern stare at the answer causing him to correct himself.
"Present." He coughed and she moved on, both of them ignoring the numerous gazes cast upon them for the subtle interaction.
"Michael?" She asked without any special interest in her voice.
"Present miss." The boy himself, also answered simply.
And then, she spoke the final name, also raising her eyes this time causing some people to be taken aback.
During each name, Athena had never taken her eyes off the sheet, thus making them surprised about this special boy.
"Amon?"
However, when their eyes turned, all they saw was a frail-looking young boy with nothing special about him. Not even his mana levels.
However, the boy himself just smiled back in return and raised his hand.
"Present."
Athena's stare lasted for a moment longer before she turned back to her sheet.
"I guess that's all then. Alright, time to leave the class." She clapped and everyone stood up, including Amon.
As he stood up, Michael called out to him.
"Hey, Amon." He called out, and the boy in question looked back, surprised because he had called out his name.
He knew that this was a habit of the prince, but he had to feign surprise.
"Yes?"
"Even though you probably know me, I was hoping that you could be my friend?" Michael asked.
Amon looked back at him with surprise.
But a second later, he smiled back and reached out his hand.
"Sure, I was hoping to find a friend in this class as well. Nice to meet you, Michael." He replied, calling the boy with his name as well.
The prince was taken aback with surprise for a second.
He didn't expect it to be easy but…..
It felt nice.
And so he shook the outstretched hand a moment later.
However, just when the duo was about to move forwards, another guy called out from behind.
"Yo."
Both of them turned back and saw Ren standing there with a smile.
"Can I join your group as well? I can't see myself associating with those at the front." He asked, scratching his head.
After a second of silence, both of them nodded.
"Sure, you can join us." Michael smiled.
"Thanks, you guys." Ren rushed towards them.
With that, the trio made their way towards the testing grounds.
******
Arriving in the training grounds, Athena made all of them line up.
She then explained that each person would come up and display their elemental powers on various tests.
All of them nodded along and then she gestured to Elizabeth to come up first.
The white haired girl nodded indifferently and walked up towards a big space where several targets were placed at varying distances.
"When I say go, you need to shoot down all those targets. Your accuracy, time and control matter in this."
Elizabeth nodded back and then took on a stance.
Seeing that she was ready, Athena nodded and raised her hand before bringing it down in a swoop.
"Go."
Instantly, a cold hue shrouded Elizabeth's body making the temperature around her plummet.
Simultaneously, multiple ice shards formed in the air that hovered around her body.
In the next second, she waved her hand forwards, sending all of the shards shooting forwards at great speeds.
The first shard hit the bullseye instantly on the nearest target before the other shards also perfectly hit all marks.
All the people looked at her awe as she completely hit all of the targets in less than 3 seconds.
She wasn't a first ranker for nothing.
Athena nodded at her performance before scribbling something down on the paper.
"Alright, we are done. Next." She announced and Elizabeth turned to go.
Everyone clapped at her performance as she returned back to her first place. Meanwhile, Alya walked up to the stage next.
Athena looked at her sheet again before looking back up.
"It says here that you are an armenist, is that correct?"
Alya nodded with a smile and she gestured to a nearby shelf.
"Take a weapon from there. Do note that the weapon you take will be registered by the academy as your official weapon." She notified and Alya nodded again.
Then, she ran off to the shelf before immediately choosing a bow, and coming back.
"Alright, same test as before. Just shoot down all the targets."
With that, Athena again brought down her arm while Alya aimed with her bow.
But at that moment, a ping notification echoed in Amon's head who was constantly observing all their movements.
PING!
[Assimilation Completed.]
