I have reached the venue where Mage license exam is held, there is a lot of people here. And they are eyeing at me since I have arrived with a fancy horse carriage with two maids. The maid outfit really suits Seraphina, and the maid my mother personally appointed was professional dedicated to her job. There are total of 5 people inside the carriage including me
I haven't focused on my mana, since shadow cloak can easily make me evade a surprise attack. I really hate surprises. Shadow cloak can make me evade a devastating attack and it breaks afterwards.
I have enchanted it to make it non-detectable and it is a handy spell.
"I really hope I can find a good Transmuter," I muttered to myself, lost in thought.
"I will complete faster than you. Bet on it, Ethan " An arrogant kid, named Charlie jumped from my own carriage and pointed his finger at me.
Great he is making me stand out even more, frankly I don't mind attention as long I get what I want from here.
A teen girl exited my carriage and smashed her fist on his head hard" Charlie, You idiot *Smack*, you should pay respects to him bringing us here You know. And thanks Ma- I mean Ethan for the ride " She said while smiling as she turned to me.
Charlie and chole were my personal retainers, who took interest in serving under and proved to be skillful. I have taken them here so that I can two powerful soldiers with me
"Sheesh, talk about a split personality," Charlie grumbled, rubbing his head. "One minute she's a demon, the next she's an angel. And only around you, too!"
The girl, not missing a beat, cracked her knuckles. "Oh, you want another one, huh?"
*Smack* Smack* Another smack echoed through the courtyard as the girl landed a final blow,
She has the strength to physically harm a grown man, she really sure provides good entertainment. Both of them provide good entertainment and I brought them personally since they make it more fun.
I have both of them in my childhood. I found charlie and defeated in a duel roadside and I met chole in my castle.
Charlie became my retainer so that he can defeat me in fighting and chole wanted to serve me personally, as goal.
She was the daughter of Sir gareth who is a great knight served at my house. She learned how to use spear by her father and joined as my retainer.
She maintains a respectful and obedient servant while decent support as a good friend and a cook. I really like her cooked food.
We have caught a lot of gaze, I have checked my and Chole, Charlie registered numbers. We are all have to take at different centre.
So I have made myself at exam location B while Chole is at F and Charlie at D.
As I entered through the door, I could see there was a portal with each participant going there linewise with the examiner is making sure to inspect everything. I find their gaze disturbing
Man! These water earbuds is a very good idea, It reduces unneccesary noise and I only hear what is required. So, I don't hear the gossip between them. Chole must have beaten somebody by now.
With a deep breath, I stepped through my portal, the familiar courtyard vanishing as I found myself standing in a dimly lit dungeon
There was little moisture in the dungeon, at least there is oxygen supply sufficent for lot of people. The air was heavy with the scent of damp earth and old magic.
Torches flickered on the walls, casting long, shadows that seemed to twist with a life of their own
Other participants gathered around the area, their faces a mix of nervousness and confidence. Then there is some people who are just chilling as if single exam can't decide their fate.
Among them, one figure stood out. A young woman with flowing black hair hair along with sidelocks, which is tied back with a ribbon, also and crimson eyes. She held a life-sized doll in her arms, the doll face being creepy The girl seemed lost in a world of her own, her lips moving in a silent incantation as she gently stroked the doll.
She wore a soft black evening dress with a big heavy skirt. Her upper body is dressed in a lace ribbon and a short tailored jacket. She has a cup size of C as she draws decent gazes from men within here.
Above all I really liked her rosy sexy lips and the confident smile on her face. She noticed me gazing at her and responded with a slow, deliberate lick of her lips,. She seemed like a freak.
I have tried to use detect[channeler type] To detect their mana levels but couldn't find anyone noteworthy.
As I guessed everyone must have hid their magic levels.
"Welcome, young mages, to the first stage of the Mage's License Exam!" A tall, imposing figure materialized in the center of the dungeon, his robes shimmering with a faint magical aura.
"I am Examiner Magister, and I will be your guide through this trial."
His eyes swept over the assembled mages, his eyes gazed on me for a moment on me before moving on. "This dungeon is designed to test your knowledge, your skill, and your creativity. You will face challenges that will push you to your limits, but those who persevere will emerge as true mages, worthy of wielding the power of the elements."
He paused, his gaze hardening. "But be warned, not everyone will succeed. Those who fail will be cast out, their dreams of becoming a mage shattered. So, I urge you to give this trial your all. Your future depends on it."
"This dungeon is a living labyrinth," he announced.
"Your task is to select a maze related to your element. A multi-layered maze with increasingly difficult challenges, testing different magical disciplines. Participants must not only demonstrate their mastery of their chosen element but also their ability to adapt and combine different types of magic to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles."
"Is that enough for us to pass? " One participant asked.
"I am afraid not, it is the first trail " The examine replied.
"Wait, if I select the fire maze do I get to fight fire element monsters or monsters that are weak to fire element? What to choose if we are talented in two elements " One muscular man asked.
Magister shook his head. "I'm afraid not. This is merely the first trial. Only the most resourceful and adaptable mages will progress to the next stage. I can't say anything more than that" He replied as he opened the portals, each with colour replying a specific element.
I saw many people heading towards blue, but there are few people going towards other portals. But I have decided where should I go.
Without hesitation, I strode towards the portal radiating with an inky blackness. The darkness called to me,
As I stepped through the portal, the darkness surrounded me, and I found myself in a dimly lit corridor, the walls adorned with strange symbols.
I have used [Shadow wisp] to create artificial light, made by dark matter. It is pretty safe unless you touch it. It won't affect strong dark mages though.
"Ara ara~," A soft, alluring voice whispered in my ear, sending a shiver down my spine "What have we here? A lost little lamb in the darkness?" A girl whispered with a playful voice behind me.
I turned to see the girl with the haunting doll and crimson eyes standing behind me, her lips curved into a knowing smile.
Before I could respond, the doll in her arms twitched. Its porcelain head turned, its painted eyes fixing on me with unnerving intensity.
"Interesting," The doll's lips moved, a voice that was not her own.
The doll can talk now, Wait, She is an enchanter
The girl leaned closer to me while hugging my neck, shoving me closer to her chest. "Don't be shy," she whispered in sweet sickly voice. "We're all friends here, aren't we?"
