Chương 8: Affinity
Looking at the seven official mages that stood in the center of the huge field Beatrice felt a large amount of pressure, and so did every single one of the over seven hundred future mage apprentices whose talent's were about to be tested.
After a few moments, a name first name was called.
"Julian Gladdal from the Oerster Kingdom, come forward," said one of the mages, before a young man came out of the crowd and walked in front of the seven mages, when suddenly, a several-meter large glass ball appeared in front of him.
Seeing this, Julian put his hands on the glass ball, and in only a few moments, began shaking, after a few seconds, a light blue color began emanating from the ball, but Julian was still not yet done, as he still continued shaking, he then continued shaking for more than a dozen second before coming to a stall.
" Wate affinity, E grade, spiritual power, 6.1," said one of the mages before a bronze token flew in front of Julian. He then continued walking on the designated path, not knowing where it would lead.
After the first, the next talent tests went somewhat faster, as a certain rhythm could be felt in the field.
"Wind affinity, F grade, spiritual power 2.1"
"Fire affinity, D grade, spiritual power 3.4"
"Dual affinity, fire and wind, B grade, spiritual power 6.8"
"Earth affinity, E grade, spiritual power 5.4"
After this, a large number of students with a large number of different affinities and grades appeared, after each student had their talent tested, one of the official mages would then hand them a token, which Beatrice thought represented their potential.
Wood, Stone, Bronze and Silver, and Gold these were these were the materials that Beatrice had seen the tokens be made of, but of course, there were probably some other higher level tokens with those with even better talent.
Suddenly, silence ensued in the field as a certain sentence came out of one of the Official Mage's mouth after the testing of the two hundred and seventy-sixth potential mage
"Wind affinity, A grade, spiritual power 7.2," said the mage, causing all of the eyes in the field to focus on the teen in the middle, even some of the official mages looked differently at him compared to the others being tested.
After this, Beatrice managed to take a look at the token granted to the teen, noticing that it was a silver-white token.
"So platinum is above gold," thought Beatrice before a certain voice broke her out of her thoughts
"James Lyon from the Lyon Kingdom," said the official mage before James hurried about towards the glass ball.
Compared to before, Beatrice watched with great interest as a somewhat bright red color emerged from the center of the ball as James put his hands on it.
"Fire affinity, C grade, spiritual power, 5.3," said the official mage as he handed James a silver token, and after that, the next name was uttered.
Beatrice Agnes, Lyon Kingdom
As she walked forward toward the ball, nervousness filled the otherwise calm Beatrice, but even so, she still calmly put her hands on the glass ball.
Looking at around herself, Beatrice found that the large number of kids and teens around her suddenly disappeared, being replaced by pitch-black darkness.
Right now, as she looked at her hand which she knew was only centimeters away from her face, Beatrice couldn't see anything, only darkness, but surprisingly, Beatrice did not feel fear nor helplessness, only peace in the dark void.
Suddenly, Beatrice found herself once again standing in the middle of the field, countless pairs of eyes staring at her.
"Darkness affinity, B grade, spiritual power 12.4," said the mage, as his voice once again becoming surprised as said that, as soon as those words came out, Orrel, the Mage representing the Shadow Monastery suddenly smiled, his smile becoming bigger once the representing her spiritual power came out.
And after a moment, a golden token came in front of Beatrice, prompting her to pick it up and walk on the path those that came before her also walked.
After this, whispers erupted in the field.
But these whispers were promptly stopped by the words of the Official Magus.
Susan, Lyon Kingdom
Rather worriedly, Susan walked up to the glass ball and placed both her hands once it.
"Water affinity, A grade, spiritual power, 8.2," said the mage before looking at Susan, as if to examine her.
In all seven hundred children, other than those two, nobody else had A-grade talent, with three more other B grades emerging after a while, but of course, a storm was already brewing under the surface.
...
Looking at the inviting tents behind her, and at the pitch-black tent in front of her, Beatrice knew that she was at the right place.
The first thing Beatrice was greeted with as soon as she walked in was a group of seventeen people, each sitting in a certain part of the wooden tent.
"I really fit in quite well," thought Beatrice as she looked at the pale faces of each of the potential mages before sitting down.
Even though she learned that the Shadow Monastery did not have the best reputation, Beatrice still felt quite good being here.
Merely thirty seconds after arriving here, a man, who looked around thirty years old walked in.
As soon as he did that, Beatrice recognized him.
"This was the mage that tested my talent back in the Lyon kingdom," thought Beatrice as she looked at him.
As soon as the mage walked in, he turned to Beatrice, as if beckoning to her before walking toward one of the walls of the wooden tent.
The moment the mage approached the wall, it suddenly turned into a door, which the mage walked into.
Only hesitating a little bit, Beatrice walked towards the door before walking in as well.
After Beatrice walked in, the door once again turned back into a simple wooden wall.
