Report 12 – Examination Day – part 1
1702 Words
The next morning, Seya woke up early and started creating more Crystals. He did that for some time and when he got hungry, instead of wasting time looking for the cafeteria, he took some food from his Compressed Dimension and kept on making Crystals. With that, he was late for the written test that morning.
He had to run through the corridors while looking at his map. “Argh! I am going to be late for the writing test! Where is the room?”
Following his map, Seya reached the Examination room after a long run along a lot of corridors. The School was strangely too big! All the new students were already seated, and the Teacher was almost starting the tests. He almost didn’t make it in time!
“Seems like we have a late one. I’m glad you could join us! Sit now so that we can start!”
“Sorry, I got lost!”
Hearing that, a familiar young girl with green hair laughed. “Ahahahah! Even with a map, you got lost? Ahahahah!”
“Quiet now! You already have the written tests on top of your table, along with a pen and paper. There are questions about History, Politics, Races, and Magic. Good luck! Begin!”
…
By the end of the tests, every student was leaving while chatting with each other about the difficulty of the tests. Seya was the only one still seated with a dumbfounded look. “Well, that was easy... strange...”
While Seya was still wondering, a very peculiar girl with green hair was passing by next to him and looked at him very intrigued. “You thought that was easy? I could only answer like half of each test! Either you’re a genius or you didn’t have one question right!”
“Well, I...”
“Oops, don’t forget what you’re saying! I got to go, or my friends are going to kill me! We will talk later on. Bye!”
“Bye... and there she goes again...”
…
Back to his room, Seya created more Magic Crystals until lunch. “||...Flow... create marble rock... surround with ball rock.... compress... insert Magic... heat... compress...|| ... Here’s another. Now, continue or lunch?... Humm... Continue, of course!”
…
While concentrating on the Crystals, he was late for lunch. He ran out of his room while searching through his map. “Again! I am going to be late! Where is the cafeteria?”
Arriving at the cafeteria, Seya met the girl that he had already crossed paths with, and she asked with a smile, “Why is it that every time I see you, you are always coming when you should already be going?”
“Sorry, what?”
“Almost everyone has finished lunch already, and you are just arriving! Don’t say, lost again?”
“Not really. I was in my room practising my Magic, and I lost track of time. It happened the same thing this morning before the test.”
“Ahahahah! Well, don’t forget about the practical tests in the afternoon! First, it’s the physical tests and next, it’s the Magical. By the way, we will do it in the yard, that big thing on the back of the main building! Also, don’t forget your weapons! See you later.”
“Okay, bye... and off she goes. I always run into that girl and I don’t even know her name! But she sure is pretty.”
…
After a quick and light lunch, Seya found the yard by following the indications of that mysterious girl.
When he arrived, all the new students were already there. In front of them stood a large RabbitKind and a Human fully armored with a massive sword in his hands, the tip of which was stuck to the ground.
The RabbitKind Teacher was the first to address the students gathered for the test. “Hello, students!! We are starting now with the Physical tests! It will be composed of two parts. Each of you will have an unarmed fight with me!”
The Human Knight spoke while pointing to a pile of weapons near the wall. “And one fight with weapons with me! You can use your own weapon or choose one over there!”
Seya was watching from the back, impressed by the number of students, and he thought to himself. “||...Cool, now I will be able to see different people fight!...||”
The RabbitKind Teacher continued, “I will call you in alphabetical order! First, you fight me, and right after, with my colleague over here in an armed fight!”
One by one, the students fought the two Teachers, but because they were both so strong, Seya didn’t have time to properly see their fighting level.
“Next is... Seya Hinamoto!”
“Here... Teachers, can I request a small favour?”
“What?”
“Can I be the last one? I am enjoying watching this, and I still need to properly evaluate both of the Teachers’ fighting levels, to adjust my own.”
The RabbitKind Teacher was looking seriously at Seya, evaluating him. “So, you want to learn all our fighting moves so that you can defeat us?”
“Ahahahah!... Such insolence! Do you think you can win against us?”
“Of course I can. I just don’t want to kill any of you right on the first day of School.”
Seya’s words dumbfounded both Teachers and all the students, except for the blonde Noble that Seya bumped into when he was running towards the entrance of the School and a very beautiful girl with green hair.
The blonde Noble was looking at Seya with a disgusted look on his face. “Who does this guy think he is?”
And the girl was laughing like crazy. “Ahahahah! This guy!”
The RabbitKind Teacher remembered something. Maybe it’s him! “What’s your full name?”
The Knight Teacher pointed at the list of names. “What are you saying? It’s here, Seya Hinamoto!”
“I heard some reports some time ago from my homeland. What’s your full name, student?”
“I am Seya 'Taly' Denar’an Hinamoto, Teacher.”
“I knew it. I am sorry to doubt you, but can you prove it?”
“Here is my pendant, along with the Denar’an Crest I received when I underwent the Denar’an Trials five years ago and was granted the honour of receiving the name ‘Taly’.”
When the RabbitKind Teacher held in his hand the pendant that Seya had around his neck, he could easily see the Crest, infused with a small amount of Dark Magic.
He understood immediately that he was in the presence of a Denar’an Master. “...I... It’s an honour to meet you, Young Master! I am no match for you, so I will excuse you from the unarmed test and I will give you a top grade. I would also advise my colleague to also excuse you of the weapons part, but that’s up to him.”
The Knight Teacher thought that his colleague was nuts! “What are you saying? And calling this child Young Master?”
“Amongst my kind, a Denar’an is an elite fighter. And a Denar’an that got this kind of pendant and Crest means he was tested by the best warriors amongst the Denar’ans during the Denar’an Trials. To receive this and also an ancestor’s name proves his expertise and mastery in unarmed, armed, and Magical combat.
That was too much for the students. “…What?... This is just…”
“Foolishness! I won’t allow it! You will fight with me then! Choose your weapon!”
“Okay, I will use my Naginata spear, then.”
The Knight couldn’t take it anymore, that boy was delusional. “What? Ahahahah! You are going to use a woman’s weapon? Ahahahah!... You sure had a stupid Master, if he only taught you how to use that! Ahahahah!”
As soon as the Knight said that, the RabbitKind Teacher knew what was about to happen. Insulting the Master of a Denar’an was the most unbearable insult. The only answer for such a thing was a fight to the death. In all history, never a Human was able to defeat a Denar’an Master. The fate of the Knight was sealed.
“No! Don’t say that!”
Seya looked at the Knight, very calm, but boiling with anger in his eyes. “You really should think better before insulting someone else’s Master.”
The Knight Human Teacher was still laughing, despite the warnings of the other Teacher. “But it’s so funny, a young boy using a Naginata and saying that he can defeat me! You really need to find a new Master that could teach you how to use a sword, because the one that you have now, it’s no good! Ahahahah!”
“I am also a Master of the sword and as a part of my training, I am well trained in all sorts of weaponry. RabbitKind Teacher, you know what the penalty is for insulting a Denar’an Master?”
“Death... But my colleague meant no harm, he just doesn’t know what he is doing! I beg the Young Master, please spare my colleague’s life!”
Hearing that, the students became alarmed. What was about to happen? Would they really see a real fight to the death between that strange kid and the Knight Teacher? It was already strange seeing that amazing RabbitKind Teacher acting so formal and doing a deep bow towards Seya. “...What?... Death?...”
The Knight Teacher spoke with a frown. “What are you doing, speaking for me? Of course, I know very well what I am saying!”
“Okay, RabbitKind Teacher, I will do what you asked, only this time... and you, better be prepared for the consequences. “||...Light Ears activate...||”
“What’s that? RabbitKind ears made of Light Magic? Ahahahah! Come at me with your toy, little boy, I will show you how a true Master fights!”
“You really need to shut up.”
