The aura Rem saw didn't depict the current strength of the mage, but it did highlight their potential to so extent. And this guy's potential... Rem was sure that it was no less than Gabriel's potential.
He couldn't asure an accurate potential, but the two had roughly the sa potential from his estimates.
It was as if Lelin noticed soone observing him. His gaze straight went to the young man in the distance.
Rem didn't know why, but as soon as Lelin glanced at him, he saw Lelin's aura disappear entirely as if there was not a shred of aura around him.
'He can control his aura?' Rem frowned.
It was the second ti he had seen soone manipulating their aura. First, it was Gabriel and now Lelin. However, with Lelin, it appeared to be more intentional.
"Are they the teachers?" Lelin asked the old lady.
"Yeah. On the right is Eliana. She is the acting Dean of the Academy in the absence of our Dean. She is also the Head of the House of Light. She will be your main teacher, so make sure to be respectful. You will get to learn a lot from her. And on the left is Rem. He is the Head of House of Earth."
As soon as Eliana and Rem stopped before him, Lelin lowered his head respectfully and greeted them.
Eliana straight picked up the letter and went through it after casually nodding in response to the greetings.
"What is your na?" she asked the young man.
"Lelin Aeacus."
"You have the recomndation from the Lord of Light, so giving you an admission won't be a problem."
"I suppose there is a 'but' coming?" Lelin smiled. From the tone of Eliana, he was sure that things weren't that easy.
"I would appreciate it if you don't interfere when I'm talking." Eliana's brows knitted. "Anyway, as I was saying, giving you an admission won't be a problem, but we still need to asure your talent just to have an idea where you stand."
"asure my talent? You an the Mirror of Talent asurent?"
"Hmm? It seems you know about the Mirror."
"Yeah, the old man talked about the tests I might have to go through here."
"Old man?" Eliana didn't understand who Lelin was talking about. "Which old man?"
"He is talking about the Lord of Light," the old woman smiled wryly.
"He is old?" Eliana inquired in confusion. "I thought he would be in his middle ages. Then again, I've never t him, so I only guessed."
"Is that who you're talking about?" she asked Lelin, who nodded in response. "Yeah. He told so things about the academy and the tests I might face."
"Well, he was right. You can skip most of the tests, but we still need to know your talent levels. You will be following us inside."
Eliana instructed Lelin to follow her. Unlike with Gabriel, she didn't carry Lelin through the air this ti since she wanted to give Lishen the chance to take the kids away.
At the sa ti, she also wanted to ask about the Lord of Light.
Most of her questions were similar to what the guard had asked at the entrance, and she received the sa answer.

"I honestly don't know what he found special about . It was the day after I had awakened the Elent of Light when the old man arrived before my house. He talked about sothing with my parents. I don't know what they talked about, but my parents told to co with him right after."
"From there, he brought straight to this city. He gave a recomndation and dropped before this academy, saying it was good for my growth if I studied here. I suppose you know the rest. Here I am."
"Did he tell you why he picked you up? Or why did he specifically bring you here and no other Mage of Light?" Rem inquired.
Lelin shrugged. "He did talk about so vague things, saying it isn't safe for to stay at the Church of Light and that I need to stay at the Academy to beco a powerful mage for the future. He also said sothing about not having much ti. He was certainly a weird old man, I'm telling you."
"Not safe for you to stay at the church?" Rem frowned. If the young man was telling the truth, then that single statent gave him too much insight into why this young man was sent here. "So that's why."
"Eliana, did you get it? Why Lord of Light do it?"
"Why?" Eliana asked.
"I am not sure why but the Lord of Light managed to sense this kid. He could see his potential... Or at least feel it. He knew the kid had the potential to be the next Lord of Light. He wanted to train him as his heir, but he also knew that there are many in the Church of Light who are dreaming of becoming the next Lord of Light."
"The current Lord of Light is supposedly very old. That could also be why the Church kept him out of public view for so long since they don't want to appear weak before other Churches."
Just a couple of statents of Lelin were enough to make Rem see the bigger picture.
"There must be many Head Priests who are waiting for the Lord of Light's death from old age so they could have a chance of being selected by the Holy Grimoire. What do you think they would do if they found out that the Lord of Light brought soone who is so talented that he is highly likely to be selected by the Holy Grimoire next?" he asked.
