Chapter 64: The Test
In the Aquinas academy for magic, Dray was in the training grounds with the rest of his class. Today they would be performing their ranking test for promotion. The people that did well in this test would have a chance to move up the ranking system and become one rank higher.
Dray was standing beside the rest of the F-class mages as he watched the students from A-class and S-class take the test. The students from these two classes were like celebrities and it was obvious! Everyone was cheering them on happily and even some teachers were here to watch as well! There was a certain female teacher that always came to watch the test. Her name is Isabelle and she was the most beautiful teacher in the school. Isabelle used very strong psychic magic like telekinesis and she was an S-class mage. She always came to watch the test, but Dray could tell that she was never focused on the test, instead, she was always looking at him! He first noticed about a year ago, and when he told Willow about it she didn't believe him! But Willow also noticed it after a month or so and now Willow didn't like Isabelle at all! Willow knew Isabelle was beautiful and she didn't want that minx anywhere near her boyfriend!
Isabelle turned to Dray again and Dray narrowed his eyes at her as she waved at him. Dray could already see Willow frowning and he groaned. What the hell does this woman want from him?
The reason Isabelle was so interested in Dray was because of his magic. She had a lot of mental-based skills and one of them was known as [Magic Scan]. She could search the surroundings and pinpoint people's locations with their magic. She once used this skill in a place where Dray was and she couldn't believe what she saw! Dray's seal was already weakening so when Isabelle used her skill, she saw that his magic power is massive!! She didn't know where all that power came from and she always wanted to ask him, but she was always ignored by Dray. Dray wouldn't even listen to her and he always avoided her as much as possible! And when she tried to corner him forcefully, the honor student Willow would appear from nowhere and drag him off! It's like she had a radar that always told her where Dray was or something! Isabelle couldn't force Willow to leave him because a teacher shouldn't be cornering their students forcefully in the first place! The school would not be happy with her if they find out!
But Isabelle won't give up! She will surely find out where all that magic power comes from! How can an F-class have that much magic!? There is no way Dray is an F-class!
Isabelle frowned as Dray ignored her again and he turned back to watch the test. The students had to take two tests to move from one class to another class. They would first have their mana output measured by an analyzer and then they would perform two of their highest spells.
The analyzer is able to tell exactly how many MP a student possesses. If a student has more than ten thousand Mana points, then they would be in the A-class and the S-class would have fifty thousand Mana points or higher. In order to move into the SS-class, you must have more than a hundred thousand Mana points and none of the students here had any hope of getting that much Mana!
Another way you can become a higher class is if you possess at least two skills that are in the former class. If you possess two S-class skills then you will be allowed to move to the SS-class and if you have two A-class skills then you would be allowed to move into S-Class!
Dray watched as most of the A-class students walked up to the analyzer and measured their Mana output. None of them were more than fifty thousand and so none of them were allowed to rank up. The skill tests were even less eventful. The students in A-class were strong but they could never compare to those in S-class. Their skills were weak if Dray compared them to Willow's skills! None of them could call themselves an S-Class!
After the A-class was finished, the S-class was allowed to come forward. Once the S-Class students stepped on the stage, the crowd went mad. From how loud the cheers from the crowd were, it was obvious that there were all seen as celebrities! The crowds were cheering as if they were seeing their idols in the flesh for the first time!! Dray was so out of place because he was just clapping normally! Everyone looked like they wanted to jump the S-Class students!! Someone was even crying while holding a poster of Willow!! Dray promised to tease her about this later. Hehe..
The S-Class only had four students. There was a tall boy with red hair and eyes that always had a cocky smirk on his face. His name was Lancelot and he was a fire mage. The second person was another boy that never seemed to smile no matter what, although, for some reason, the giris in the school absolutely loved him!
"Kya! It's Eugene! Eugene over here!"
"It's Eugene! He's so handsome!!"
Dray always knew that girls were weird. Eugene had the emotional spectrum of a cup. He never smiles and the only time he ever shows any kind of emotion is when he is around the other S-class students.
Dray never really liked Eugene. Eugene always had an obvious crush on Willow and Eugene was always trying to get close to her. Dray hated the bastard. But Eugene was an S-class that uses wind magic and even Dray would admit that he was very strong.
The third S-class was a young girl that didn't even look above fifteen. She was so cheerful and bright that she even had her own fan club among the boys. She used earth magic and her strongest spell was a large stone golem that could crush anything in its path. Willow was the last member of the S-class group and she used ice magic as her primary spell.
As all the four students walked forward for the test, people gathered around to watch them. People would always come here to watch these presentations by the classes because they wanted to see if any of the students finally broke into the realm of SS-class. Being an SS-class mage is very difficult and you would be an Unparalleled genius if you became an SS-class while you are still in school!
The three S-class students before Willow first went ahead to do their test and they tried their best in it. But although they were very impressive, they were not able to pass into the SS-class. The last person remaining was Willow and she breathed deeply as she went forward and touched the analyzer. These tests were always more stressful because of the crowd. They were all putting too much pressure on her!
The analyzer read her mana And then displayed [75,000] as her MP. Everyone groaned once they saw it! It wasn't up to The level required to become an SS-class!
Dray ignored all of them as he saw Willow look at him. He smiled at her because it was a very impressive number. To have that much Mana at sixteen years old will definitely make you a genius!
Seeing Dray's smile made Willow get some confidence again and she went for the second test. She still had another chance to move to the next rank! She only had to display two S-class skills and she will be able to move up!
