"Hmm… Victoria, is there any other card tricks to do?" I asked Victoria.
"There are many, but I'm not that interested in watching them before. I guess that's it for now. How about using sothing other than a deck of cards?" Victoria suggested.
"You an two decks of cards?"
"No."
"Three decks!? That's a lot!"
"No! I an like juggling with knives or balancing yourself on top of a huge ball. There are many other clown tricks that you can do with your physical ability. Just think of them yourself!" Victoria is pissed.
Right now, I'm still waiting until the exam is over. After that ten people who passed, there are so other people who also tried the air elent exam. But those people co individually, and not because soone asked them to go together just like the first batch. At least they were all good mannered. I hope most of them get accepted.
Since it was boring, I decided to wait while practicing new tricks for my future performances. Victoria taught several tricks she saw in her world.
"Fwah! That's fifteen minutes! I passed!"
There's only one person who is taking the exam right now. And he just pulled out his head from the water just right on ti.
"Fifteen minutes and three seconds. Are you sure that you're an air mage? The others before you are much better than that. Even the shortest was seventeen minutes." I said to the examinee.
"I'm always bad in air magic. That's why I never cared about it. I only take this exam so I have more chance in being accepted." Said the boy who is about the sa age as .
"That's because you move around too much. The more you move, the more air you needed. If you stop moving, you should be able to hold for much longer. Probably twenty minutes or more."
Air elent doesn't need much mana. It's normal for soone with air elent to be able to breathe underwater for one hour. The reason for it to be just fifteen minutes needed to pass the test is because if the mages have other elents, they would unconsciously store so magic so they can use their other elents that they thought are more important.
I can hold for much longer from the start since my other elent is summoning, which I rarely used at first until I can open a portal. And since Victoria was with at all ti, I don't need to summon her. That's why I can focus my magic only on my air elent. And because I often went diving, my lung capacity has increased as well. I could stay underwater for the whole day! Aweso, right?
"Yeah, but I don't like water." The examinee said.
"What do you an you don't like water? Do you have rabies?" I asked.
"No. I just don't like it."
What's with that ominous reply? Don't tell …
"Hey, when was the last ti you took a bath?" I asked.
"…I think I'll leave for the other test now. Thank you very much." He tried to escape.
The man's na is Alfonzo. I can see it from his tag.
"Alfonzo, dunk your whole body into the pool. This is an order. If you fail to comply, I will fail your test under hygiene problem." I said.
"What's with that!? It's not like people have to bathe to live, right?" Alfonzo protested.
"You're right. But even if you pass the test, there will be no professors who would allow you to enter their class. Alright, I will still pass your test, but I will report about your hygiene problem. Even if you have good marks in your other tests, you might not be accepted. Good luck."
Alfonzo left the venue angrily.
In the entrance exam, the more practical test you pass, the more chance you have in being accepted. Of course, if you pass only one elent, but you pass with an excellent record, you will be accepted as well even if your writing exam is terrible. But that doesn't stop these examinees to take various tests. Unless they are extrely confident with one elent. Or they have a rare elent. Like Jewel's Beastform.
As for Angela, I know she can pass just from the practical exam. But she still needs to pass the writing exam as well or I will scold her harshly once she returns.
As Alonzo about to leave, he stopped. I can see that there are three beauties coming this way. Though they are not here for the test. They are probably just here because they know I'm bored.
He must be thinking of getting closer to them, but I won't let him do that.
"Excuse , ladies! I know that you're here for the tests, but please don't go this way. The examiner is a rapist who will attack any girls in sight. But if you still insist on coming, I will accompany you. I will make sure to protect you from that beast." Alonzo said.
"The beast here is you! And stop flirting with my lovers or I will fail you for real this ti!" I shouted angrily.
The three beauties that have just arrive are Kayla, Sophie, and Jewel.
"What!? Lovers? That's impossible! Why do you have lovers while I'm still single? And it's lovers! Which ans all of them!?"
"Only two. The other one is my disciple."
This guy is annoying. If he is a cult mber, I would have killed him as soon as I saw him. Unfortunately, he isn't. Though I can make him look like one. Should I?
"There's no way that's right. After all, they are way above your level. That's impossi-BUAA!"
Alonzo was about to wrap his arm around Kayla's shoulder. And Kayla obviously doesn't want that so she kicked Alonzo in the nut. The Nutcracker is here!
"Don't touch ." Kayla said.
"Urgh… that's hurt. But I'm fine! My physics is much better than average people after all!" Alonzo said as he quickly stood straight up even though he was just kicked in the nut.
"How about your ntality? Girls, I will introduce you to this guy. His na is Slly, and he never takes a bath at all." I said.
"Ewwww, disgusting!" Sophie said.
"Urgh!" Slly groaned.
"Ah! Kayla's shoe just touched him!" Jewel shouted.
"Shit. Disgusting. Roy, can I clean my shoe here?" Kayla asked .
"Here's the towel. As for water, you can scoop it from the pool with Victoria." I said as I hand her a towel and Victoria who has transford into a bucket.
"Guh! Is bath really that important!?" Slly complained.
"Obviously."
"Totally."
"Get fifty ters away from ."
Sophie, Jewel, and Kayla answered respectively.
"Uuuu… I'll rember this!"
…this is the first ti soone said that just because he never takes a bath.
"He never takes a bath? That's just disgusting." Kayla said as she's cleaning her shoe.
"I think it's best for you to return back ho. The people who takes the air elent test here are… exceptionally annoying." I said.
"You're right. I will go ho now. What about you two?" Kayla asked the other two.
"I'm going as well."
" too!"
The three who have just arrived, left so quickly. I bla it on the annoying exam takers.
It seems like I will be alone again. Well, it's fine. I have Victoria to help learn more tricks.
After waiting for a little more ti, there are only few people who takes the test. And finally, it's over. I can go ho now.
After dinner, Victoria told that the Blobby in the mansion in the capital is sending a signal just like this morning when Shirley complained about Angela's cheating sheets.
When I opened the portal, it was only Shirley and Angela who wants to return. Ian and Ruby choose to stay in the capital.
"So, what's up?" I asked.
"Roy, listen to this! I took the exam, and I understand the answer to a lot of questions!" Angela said happily.
I know the reason how she can pass. I took a glance to Shirley and we made an eye contact. I understood it clearly.
"That's great! You will pass for sure!" I know that she will pass easily just from her practical exam. There's no way the school will refuse her once they see what her magic can do. But I will still praise her.
"Now, you can no longer make fun of for being stupid! I'm so happy today! How about tomorrow we book a restaurant? My treat!" Angela said.
…that must my money she's about to use. Is there any way for these girls to not use my money? I guess I'll let her do what she wants. For now.
While I was feeling dejected, Shirley approached .
"Roy."
"What is it, Shirley?"
"I can finally understand the difficulty of being a parent."
…yeah, if we look at it from the side, it looks like I'm the father and Angela is the daughter who seeks to be praised from her father. Unlike Lina's feeling of love, Angela's feeling is more like a kid who wants recognition from her parents.
"…you'll get used to it." I said.
"Is this why you let her go to the capital with ? You want to take care of her? If she's alone, you will refuse to let her go, right?" Shirley asked.
"You're right. It's good to have you here. She can take care of herself, but she would always use magic as the first resort in case sothing happened."
"Sigh… I'll try my best. Please tell more on how to take care of Angela. I never knew that you did so many things to her."
"I'll write you the manual later. For now, congratulations on taking the tests. Without a doubt, everyone here will be accepted."
