This time it was Wim's turn to take the practical exam
He stood on the field with a magic wand in his hand, his gaze directed at the dummies there
Given 1 minute to get as many targets as possible. However, this challenge requires speed and accuracy in casting magic
Together with other students who were called, they began to cast, preparing their magic
When Kryuger began to give them the signal, the boom and flash of magic immediately filled the air.
The students rushed to cast their spells, creating colorful explosions that hit the dummies around them
Kryuger with his small board, began to record the abilities of each participant carefully, observing the hidden potential and extraordinary talents they showed
However, in the midst of the commotion, one figure remained silent. Wim stood without moving his magic wand, even the scoreboard above him was still empty
With curiosity, Kryuger stepped closer to Wim and asked
Kryuger: "Why don't you cast magic?"
Turning his gaze towards Kryuger, Wim began to answer calmly
Wim: "I'm sorry sir, it seems like I can't use magic like the others."
That statement made everyone freeze in silence and made the atmosphere there even quieter, even the other students who were in the exam room also stopped casting their magic after hearing Wim's words
Not only the students, Kryuger himself looked surprised and thought hard to digest the information
Wim knew their expressions now, confused and also felt amazed
How could there be someone who couldn't use magic? Why did he enter this magic academy?
That must be the first question that would definitely come out of their minds. They looked doubtful of Wim who couldn't use magic
He actually could use magic, but because of the mana disability suffered by this player character, he was only able to store a little mana. That amount was too small to cast spells like magic in general.
He had to try to keep his mana disability a secret from others until the time came for him to tell them
Then Kryuger asked again in a serious tone
Kryuger:" So you can't use magic at all?"
Wim shook his head slowly and said
Wim:" I can only use teleportation magic, like Blink."
Although the name of his Skill is 'Teleport', but its ability is also almost the same as Blink
Wim chose that name because it was the name that was more commonly used by other 'Blink' users
Kryuger:" So that's how it is"
Hearing that, Kryuger took a deep breath, then took out a magic communication device from his pocket
Kryuger:" Here Kryuger, I have a request--"
He contacted the academy, asking for permission to give a special exam for Wim who has a unique ability
....
Kryuger:" Alright, thank you "
Shortly after, permission was granted. Kryuger turned to Wim and explained
Kryuger:" The academy has approved a special exam for you. Wait a moment, the exam will be here soon."
Wim:" Alright "
With that Wim returned to his seat, while the other students were still whispering, Wim was still calm after all the chatter they had let out
Meanwhile, Kryuger began to tell the other students to continue their exams
They began to continue with Kryuger also starting to take notes on the small board while observing the other students who were taking the exam carefully
Although he was still able to focus on the task of recording the abilities of the new students, his thoughts could not be separated from one figure—Wim.
"Why is there a student who entered the magic academy, but he can't use magic"
That was the question on Kryuger's mind
But unlike the other students who continued to question and whisper about Wim, Kryuger knew the answer
That was because there was something unique about Wim
That wasn't just a coincidental answer, because he got the answer a long time ago when he was curious about the student before the class determination exam began
More precisely 5 days ago in the office of the principal Sherman
***
(5 days ago - Principal's Office)
At that time, the principal's room was lit by the warm morning sunlight, penetrating the large window with dark red curtains.
There sat Sherman, the wise principal of Unio Academy, along with Fiona, the vice principal who was known to be meticulous and friendly, complete with her glasses that always perched on the tip of her nose, and also Kryuger, who checked the students' files one by one
Then an automaton servant walks in—a lightly armored robot with an elegant steampunk design, carrying a tray of fragrant tea and cinnamon cookies. The warm aroma fills the room as Sherman pours his cup.
The three of them looked at the stack of new student forms—one by one
Sherman:" It looks like this year is going to be a very busy year" He said while sipping a cup of tea
Kryuger:" Is that so?" Kryuger asked
Sherman:" Yes, this year our Academy has accepted so many outstanding talents from various places " Sherman replied in a happy tone
Sherman:" I think this year could be a golden era for our academy"
Fiona combed her hair back, then nodded slowly
Fiona:" Not only that, If we can shape them properly, then Unio Academy can outshine other Academies in this year's Magic competition and also in the future"
Sherman smiled slightly and held up one of the forms to Kryuger and Fiona
Sherman:" Look at this—Louisa Von Teuer, the third princess of the Helible Kingdom, and has the fire attribute"
Fiona:" And this"
Fiona chimed in while pointing at another form
Fiona:" Lucius Cryztolia, the prince of the Crystal Kingdom. His ability to form high-level magic crystals, even though he managed to do it at a very young age"
Sherman sighed in satisfaction
Sherman:" And don't forget this one... Luna Selene, comes from a prominent family called the Selene Family, and is also the former leader of StarBlue"
Meanwhile, Kryuger who had been silent until now, continued to browse the other forms while listening to some dialogue from Fiona and Sherman
Fiona:" Lucius and Louisa will attract the attention of many parties outside" She muttered with a slightly restless feeling in her heart
Fiona:" Especially since their kingdoms are in conflict with each other. If their hostility were to carry over into the academy, even during lessons, we could be in big trouble."
Although Fiona felt uneasy about it, Sherman was different, nodding slowly, his lips curling up happily
Sherman:" It's okay Fiona, it's precisely in a neutral place like this that they get rid of their mutual suspicions of each other"
Fiona:" I hope you're right, Principal Sherman" Looking at Sherman with her lips slightly curved in a smile, feeling relieved by his words
Kryuger's hand suddenly stopped on a shabby file, He pulled out a slightly wrinkled sheet, the ink on it looked like it was written with a cheap pen. The name was written neatly but simply
Wim
Kryuger's forehead furrowed deeply when he saw that there was no attribute that the boy had
Kryuger:" Is this... a joke?"
