(6 months ti skip)
"Co on Lucy, we have to go." i called out to Lucy.
"I am coming brother wait for a minute!" Lucy shouted from her room.
A while later Lucy got out of her room.
"Did you pick up everything?" i asked.
"I took everything important brother. Let's go we are going to late." Lucy said and started to run.
"Katie, Aria, Yarin run after and follow ." i said and i too started to run.
After were Katie, Aria and Yarin.
Katie was slowest because i didn't gave her any crystal or mana core to absorb. So she was weaker than Aria and Yarin.
Aria was faster than Katie but slower than Yarin. Aria absorbed hundreds to thousands of mana crystals for the last months, which made her stronger. She beca a high 4th crystal fighter.
Yarin was the fastest because of her overall stats. For the last few months, i couldn't interact with Yarin too much. She avoided for a reason i don't know.
'Maybe i pushed her too much when i tried to seduce her or she was disgusted by my nightly experints.' was my conclusion.
Anyway, we were running because we were going to be late for the appointed ti and if we are late, Count Ceurie would give punishnt to us. Which i didn't care too much but Lucy was scared, hence we are running.
We ran like this for 5 hours and arrived in front of the Ceurie mansion/house's gates.
"Lucy repeat what you have to do my dear." i said to Lucy.
"If father asks any questions, i will answer that we went to wolf forest and found shadow spirit and ford a familiar contract after that, we went back to Ceurie city and trained. Didn't do it sothing anymore than this." Lucy repeated almost perfectly.
"Good." i nodded in satisfaction but stopped.
"But you forgot to ntion the maids." i said.
"I recruited the mute one because she would be mine servant and helper in the academy, the expressionless one recruited because brother found so potential in her."
"Good. Let's go in." i said and patted her head.
We walked a front of a guard and lifted my face.
"Open the gate." i said coldly and showed my Ceurie family token. This token is given to every Ceurie family mber but my and Lucy's are different than normal ones.
"Open the gate! The young master and Young lady have co back. Inform the Lord Ceurie!" The guard who saw my token started to give orders loudly. After the orders guard started to escort us to Count's room.
While we were escorted i ordered a maid to escort our servants.
I knocked on the door and waited.
"Co in." a cold, overbearing voice ca out of the room.
'It seems the count is the sa as always.'
We entered and greeted the Count properly.
"Sit down and tell what you two experienced and what are your thoughts about the outside world." Count spoke coldly but there was so warmth in his voice.
We told him our journey and experiences. Count nodded his head and spoke.
"You have done a great job. The world is filled with every type of person and you have to be unrciful towards them. You have to think first about your life after that your benefit." He spoke like he was telling an experience of his.
After that Count told us so of his experiences.
"Alright, that is enough for today. You two have very little ti because you ca later than i thought. I thought that you two would be teleported back to ho after few months.
Anyway, you go to the teleportation gate with your servants and show to the guards this token. They will know what it is this about." Count said slowly and took out a token with a book symbol. Count gave us the token and pouch with filled money.
"Yes father." We said and got out of the room.
"We are going to the directly academy it seems." i said to Lucy.
"What!?" Lucy looked at dumbfounded.
"This token is the academy's teleportation token. You give this token to the teleportation gate attendant and they will send you to the academy's testing ground." I said and showed the token of the academy.
"Are we directly going to the academy without rest?" Lucy said in a questioning tone but she was just complaining.
"Father probably thought that we would co in a few months but we ca back 18 months, so we have little ti for registration it seems." I said.
It was an easy conclusion because normal 12 year old children would co back to the house in a few hours to a few month but not in 18 months.
"Do you want to take anything from the house? If not let's go." i asked Lucy
"Okay." Lucy nodded.
We called our maids and told them the situation.
After that, we went to the teleportation gate. Calling teleportation gates is make people think them cool, but they are not. The teleportation gate is just a plain tal door that runes carved on it, which looks like an old scrap door.
Anyway, i handed the token to the guard. Guard's eyes widened for a mont then escorted us to a more old looking door and pressed the token to the door. The token was absorbed into the door and the door opened. From the door, i couldn't see anything but i knew it is a normal thing, so i stepped in.
After i stepped in my head got dizzy for a mont and i was in a room. The room was big but mostly empty. There was only a table and on top of the table was a tal plate. From my knowledge, this tal plate must be an ancient Information artifact that so information mage made before the Enos's massacre happened.
While i was thinking Lucy appeared behind , she wobbled and started to puke. Well, it was a normal reaction for soone's first ti teleportation. I was just an abnormal one.
After that Aria, Katie and Yarin appeared one after another. I waited for them to recover after they recovered, i started to speak.
"Lucy co, prick your finger and drop your blood on this plate." i said and pointed to the plate.
Lucy nodded and pricked her finger and let the blood drop on it.
After the blood fell, the plate shined briefly. Afterwards, the plate showed Lucy's affinities except the unknown one and a number, which was 86.
The shown number is the test taker's potential and the maximum potential number is 100. So Lucy's potential must be around [SS] rank.
"Brother, what is this number?" Lucy asked curiously.
"I don't know too Lucy but i am sure that soone will co to this room a little later and explain this numbers aning." I said.
From what i rembered soone would always co to this room after the plate activated and escort them to the practical test area.
After a minute or so, the door of the room opened and average looking boy about 19 of age with grey hair and gray sleepy eyes entered the room.
"I am Orion, are you the one that took the test?" Orion said and pointed to Lucy.
"Yes." Lucy nodded and said.
After hearing Lucy's answers, Orion looked at . Orion was dazed for a mont and his face beca little red.
"Will you take the test too?" Orian recovered his complexion and said.
"Yes." i answered with a cold tone.
"Prick a finger and drop blood to the Talent Gauger."
'What a boring na for this artifact.'
I bit my skin hard enough to bleed and dropped my blood to Talent Gauger.
Artifact shined briefly and showed my affinities except the unknown one and my potential, which is '100'.
Well, 100 is the most this artifact can give, so i didn't know if i have [God] rank potential or [SSS] rank.
Orion looked at us with a stupid look on his face, which was understandable. Because the potential of 75 and above can be considered future powerhouses if they didn't die and in front of him were 2 potential powerhouses.
"As you can see, these are your affinities and surprisingly you have lots of them. Anyway this number is your potential." Orion said.
Yawn!
"You have the potential to beco 8th rank master mage." Orion pointed at Lucy and said.
"And you have the potential to beco 9th rank Archmage mage. But it is just potential, so you have to work hard to reach your potential." Orion said and pointed at .
"Aren't you two lucky ones? You two will definitely enter the academy regardless of results, but for the need of procedure you two will go into a practical test." Orion said and yawned.
Yawn!
'he must have an affinity to sleep or dreams to have this sleepy look and continuous yawns.'
"What is this practical test and is it dangerous?" I asked coldly.
I knew the test well, so i didn't need to ask about it. But i thought that it was the perfect ti to establish my cold image to students and professors.
"Nothing dangerous, maybe so ntally dangerous but not physically. The test is to enter a dungeon that first headmaster Aora Thaleix herself made it. Although it is called a dungeon but it is just test ground for the first years and in this dungeon you won't get hurt physically." Orion said.
After his explanation, Orion escorted us to the dungeon's entrance.
