Eldrea Academia and The One That Stars Chose
Chapter 10: Mysterious Groups and the Academy Part 2

New student reception hall. I who was delivered by Mr. Gareth, started to enter the hall, which was so large with so many benches inside and also there were some banners from the academy hanging from the ceiling of the hall. There are also a lot of prospective students who are doing exams, they look younger than me, I think they are in the age range of 8 to 10 years.

When we entered the hall, all eyes began to glance at us, and the supervisors who were watching the examination stood up to pay their respects, Mr. Gareth.

“Honor to the principal!” said the supervisors simultaneously.

There were students whispering about the principal.

“Chief of school?”

“Is he the great principal? I heard he's at Circle 8.”

“Didn't he look really generous?”

“Who is that kid next to him?”

I think it's natural for them, because the principal doesn't usually show himself at school entrance exams. You could say it was an honor for them.

A male supervisor began to approach us from his seat. “Welcome, Sir. What do you need here?” said it.

Mr. Gareth began to embrace my shoulder and smiled at the supervisor. “I want to give a written test for this young master,” Mr. Gareth introduced myself to the supervisor.

“Good, Sir. Please sit here.” The supervisor allowed me to sit on an empty bench in the back row.

“Then let me back down.” Gareth returned to his room.

“Good, thank you for all your hard work, Mister!” Back the supervisors saluted simultaneously.

I also sat on the bench appointed by the supervisor, I was also given a test sheet and pen made of bird feathers, complete with ink to write.

“Please do the test, but because you came a little late, the remaining time is only 30 minutes. Do you mind, Mister?” ask one of the supervisors.

“Ah, it's fine, it's also my fault for coming late, and please don't be too formal with me, I'm just an ordinary student candidate.”

“Alright, then you can directly do the test.” The supervisor returned to his position.

I pay attention to every question that is on the page, it is true for a test given to children, this is quite difficult for their age. But for me this is not so difficult, because all the answers are already out of my head. It's all thanks to all the books I've read.

It didn't take long for me to fill out all the questions on the page, I finally gave my test results to the supervisor in the middle of the hall.

“Are you sure you're done?” he asked, considering that it only took me 15 minutes to answer all his questions.

“Already, can I come back now?”

I don't want to draw more attention by staying here. I'd better go back to Mr. Gareth's room and go back to talking about the mysterious group he's been holding.

“Ah, sure, you can come back now. The results of the test will be announced at noon. You can wait for test results around the academy.”

“Secap it?”

“Of course, our academy appoints a lot of supervisors for the entrance test, we do not want to make every prospective student wait so long to see the results of their test.”

“Alright, Thanks for the help,” After retiring, I finally walked back to the principal's room.

I walked through the corridor of the academy that connects between the hall building and the main building of the academy. On the way, I was dismissed by 2 children who seemed to be my age.

They are a girl and a boy. For the female, she has cheerful vibe black hair and brown eyes, while for the male, she has orange-colored hair and eyes with a calmer vibe. They wear academy uniforms.

“Hey, what are you doing in the academy building?” said the woman.

“Are you a prospective student here? Don't you look too old to sign up now?” continue the boy next to the girl.

“Iya, I am indeed a prospective student here, and it is true that I am indeed 13 at this time. But I have my own reasons, and now I'm heading to the principal's room.”

“Chief school? Why would a principal want to meet someone like you?” sahut the woman.

“That's right, I'm not trying to lie this time.” I tried to explain it to them.

“Wait, if you want to meet the principal. Are you the rumored kid this morning?” said the boy.

“Oh, yes I heard the rumors. I heard that there was a child walking with the Guild Master of Eldrea, and before long he returned with the principal to the hall, is that you?” ask the woman.

“True, it's me.”

“I was expecting, introduce my name, Viona, Viona Railey. A student who just entered the class ‘C’ this year.” The woman introduced herself.

“And me, Kevin, Kevin Turner, I also just climbed to the ‘C’ class this year.” The boy also began to introduce himself.

“My name, Deron.”

“You don't have a last name?” ask Viona.

“Ah, about that ...”

I don't know what to answer, it sounds weird if there's someone who doesn't have a last name, unless he's a slave. So that this situation really made it difficult for me.

It was Mr. Gareth, he said all that as he walked up to us. Looks like the teacher told Mr. Gareth to say all that to help me.

“Ah, Good afternoon principal!” Viona and Kevin greeted each other.

“Yes!, my name, Deron Volva, is pleased to meet you guys.” I continued Mr. Gareth.

I don't want to waste the opportunity given by Mr. Gareth. I was really grateful to him for saving me from the strange rumors that might befall me.

“Ah, yes, we too,” said Kevin and Viona.

“Good kids. I have business with, Deron at the moment, can you guys allow us a moment?” said Mr. Gareth.

“Sure, see you later, Deron!” viona said as she pulled Kevin to leave us both. “Come, we go!”

“B-good, bye, Deron!” Kevin waved his hand while being pulled by Viona.

They ended up leaving me and also the principal both in the corridor of the academy.

“Thank you for the help,” I bowed to the principal.

“No need to thank me, then how about you wait for the test results in my room only?”

“Ah, well,” I'm finally back walking towards the principal's room, “But how do you know if I was in the hallway earlier?” ask her.

“I was ordered by, Madame Margaret to help you. Looks like there's some kind of tracker that's been implanted in you by him, so?” the answer.

It seems like what he meant was the matter of which Master belonged to the one implanted in my heart.

“That's right, There's a special mana belonging to the teacher embedded in my heart at this time.”

“So, there is no doubt, Madame Margaret is remarkable if she can implant her mana in the body of others.”

“Is it hard?”

“Sure, usually the witch only gives a trace mark on the outside of her target body, but, Madame Margaret can instead implant her mana in your heart, that is

it's amazing, Mr.”

“Ah, there is no need to be too formal with me, it is not nice if the students start to be wary because they know I am so respected by the principal like that.”

“Not to worry, I am wearing voice protection around us at the moment, Sir,” he explained.

I was completely unaware of his voice shield, his ability was indeed beyond doubt. The sound protector itself is a magic that is able to dispel sound into or out of the designated area.

“Stay only, Sir. How about it now that you are my current principal.”

“Hoho, it looks like you are very sure you will get away. Just so you know, I can't help you if you fail the exam, Mr.”

I just smiled at his words. “you don't have to worry about it.”

“As expected of a disciple of hero.” He smiled at me.

We also arrived at the principal's room. Inside, Master was enjoying tea while reading some report papers. Looks like it was the result of the report from the investigation, Mr. Gareth all along.

“You've arrived?” The teacher kept the report paper after seeing our arrival.

Master Gareth placed his right hand on his left chest, intending to pay respect to Master. “I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Madam,” he said, “Do you want to add tea?”

“No, thank you, this is enough for me.” The teacher replied with a gesture of raising his teacup, and also a smile on his face.

“It turns out you can look graceful, Master,” taunt me.

Swooshes! Cranks!!

Without further ado, Master directly threw the teacup he held at me. Luckily my reflexes are good enough to avoid the throw.

“Whoa! Just barely.”.

“Basic brat brat!” The teacher took a long breath. “Sorry, it looks like now I need that extra tea you offer,” he told Mr. Gareth.

“Do you not want to apologize for the glass you threw, Teacher?”

The teacher just looked at me sharply and started to sigh deeply, he also started to hold his forehead. “Hah .. if this continues, it looks like I will have wrinkles on my face.”

“Isn't it suitable? Given your current age-” I haven't finished speaking yet, Master jumped straight at me and locked my neck, thus suffocating me from it.

“K-kergh! A hweek! H-stop, Teacher, Khurgh!” I kept patting her arm that was suffocating me with that lock from behind my body.

After smothering me, Master let go of me, and sitting quietly in his place just now, he also took a new cup of tea and immediately poured tea by, Mr. Gareth.

It seems this is the reason Master Gareth is being careful of Master. As for me. .. I was still lying on the floor and was not allowed by the two of them.
