The next morning, Jaden was eager to go to the academy and run the exam. Even the chef has equipped Jaden with an encouragement, in the form of fried minced meat sandwiches and sweet fruit sandwiches Jaden favorite.
The first exam is a writing or theory exam, Jaden can do it easily, he is even sure he will get a good score.
The next exam, however, is the practice test.
In the practice exam, Jaden had to go to a special hall to demonstrate her magical abilities.
First of all, there was a magic measurement with a crystal ball. Prospective disciples sat in the large hall, advancing one by one in turn to measure their magic level after the name was mentioned.
“It turns out you're desperate to go here too huh? Stupidhead! Don't let people know if I ever dealt with you!”
Jaden turned his head quickly at the origin of the voice.
Jesus, it's Christian, or commonly called prince Tian, Jaden's brother who robs the fat young man of Duke Ergreen's son. Though Tian had learned a lesson and got angry, after meeting the fat young man again, he again humiliated him.
An angry Jaden approached and took the young man to sit with him.
“Hah, good, he deserves to be friends with a lowly noble boy too!” tian said, still do not recognize Jaden as his brother, Prince Christopher.
“Hey, you again!” said the fat boy.
“I'm Jaden, you?”
“Oh, I'm David Ergreen, about the drink that time thank you huh? My weight dropped but not drastically, even so I tried to reduce eating good cakes, I also ate a lot of nutritious food and then drank water as you suggested!”
Jaden smiled at David's words, “thank God, if you continue like that and then balanced with exercise, your body will improve slowly” said Jaden.
David nodded, “thank you.”
They remained silent, waiting for their turn to be called.
Jaden was pounding at the time, hoping for his letter to the Emperor to keep his identity secret until, so Jaden would not be called by his full name, but only Jaden.
‘I beg you.. I don't want to be caught if I'm poor prince Christopher’ Jaden said in his heart.
“David Ergreen!”
David looks scared, “my name called, until later ya Jaden!”
Jaden nodded weakly, he himself was also nervous, afraid of his real name being called.
“David Ergreen, A level!”
The announcement made Jaden smile, it turns out that indeed the Ergreen family has top-tier magic, never disappointing.
“Si fat it's class A? Shit!” Jaden could hear Tian's grunts from behind.
You fool, there's a reason why the Ergreens are so great, of course because of their incredible magic.
“Jaden!”
The deg!
Jaden was pounding again, although his full name was not mentioned and he was happy, still he was nervous to come forward.
“The name is only Jaden? Don't have a surname?”
“What the fuck? Is he from a lowly noble?”
“Seeh, he's a lowly passer!”
“Sttt keep your voice down!”
“Let's hear it, I don't care.”
Well, Jaden doesn't care about you either, he's too nervous to listen to those annoying whispers.
“You just touch the ball, then wait until the color changes yes.”.
Jaden took a deep breath, then took it out slowly, after feeling calm, he touched the crystal ball.
“HAH? What is this?”
Jaden was confused to see a ball that not only turned red, but there was a kind of blue electric shock.
David just turned red.
“Ce-quick release!”
Jaden released his hand from the crystal, the ball returned to normal.
Lothawat! Jaden's heart was almost dislodged, afraid of damaging the crystal ball.
“Jaden, A level!”
There was silence in the room, but Jaden did not care and wanted to go to the next place immediately.
“Jaden, spirit!”
The sound of screaming caught the attention of everyone, they did not believe what they saw and heard.
Princess Selen, a beloved daughter of the Emperor smiled and cheered the obscure youth who did not even have a clan?
Meanwhile Jaden gave a small smile to the girl, the girl he helped yesterday, after which he hurriedly came out for not being able to bear being the center of attention.
Jaden still does not know, if the girl is Selen's daughter.
“Cih, who the heck did he get excited by the Emperor's daughter of all?” tian muttered annoyed, whereas Selen's daughter was supposed to be his fiancee!
He's gone to the next place, the field.
There were already waiting for some teachers to see what strength the prospective students had.
Some show fire magic, water magic, some show sword skills.
David just finished showing his ability, now replace the nervous Jaden.
Jaden did not think his ability was enough to show, even though his magic level was already good, but if the practice was zero big, then it would be a lie.
“Please show ability, by magic or by sword” said one of the supervisors.
Jaden, who was already feeling calmer, was now focused on the target that the other students used to show magic.
Jaden did not know if his magic was special, but he could cast a bit of fire magic, for example to light a fireplace, to cook. He can also do a bit of water, wind, and light magic. It's just that his magic is a little bit, Jaden doesn't even understand why he became A level.
Though according to ability, Jaden should be at the highest level D for magic.
Jaden had even seen David's magic before that was real A-level, and he could bring out an incredible water blade. Elements belonging to the Ergreen family are Water and light.
How could Jaden who was only able to cast a small magic comparable to David? It doesn't make sense but Jaden will try his best.
Jaden thought of a pretty good magic, which is fire. He imagined a fire arrow after which it extended its hand towards the target board.
As Jaden opened his eyes, he himself was shocked by his magic, a fire arrow speeding up and its size was much larger than he could previously use.
Jaden stared at his hands in disbelief.
“What happened to me?” mummified Jaden.
How could Jaden's magic be that big?
Prok prok prok
Jaden turned to David who clapped proudly, then gave his thumbs up.
“Good, Jaden! Any more abilities you have?” ask superintendent.
“A-I can be a little sword, pak” replied Jaden.
He tried to calm himself down, had to focus on the exam, because he wanted to pass and study in the academy.
For the sword, a supervisor advanced to become the opponent of the prospective disciple.
The supervisor did not look like an amateur in the sword, so Jaden was sure that the supervisor was the best sword warrior of the empire.
“You can choose wooden sword available.”
Jaden nodded then picked out the sword with origin.
***
“You were so great earlier!” said David who could not stop smiling and discuss Jaden's ability.
Though Jaden himself is not sure he can be like that but – I don't know.
Indeed the empire invited him because it thought maybe Jaden had the ability to sword magic like his real father. But all this time Jaden was just an ordinary sword, there was no sign he could be a magic sword, although Jaden was very confident in his sword abilities. Because Jaden's magic skills are ordinary.
But that one, suddenly he could magic as great as that.
Never thought of him.
You could say, Jaden is still in shock with his ability.
Or maybe the magic sword ability Jaden suddenly obtained right before the test? That's just possible...
“Hey!”
Jaden jumped as David patted her on the shoulder.
“Yes, David?”
David clucked lazily, “you daydream! I'm laper, let's find the best restaurant!”
Jaden nodded, “all right.. I know a good restaurant!”
“Really! Come!”
They also walked out of the academy.
However, Tian and his friends had suddenly confronted them.
“Where are you losers? You guys must be cheating because you can get an A level! This is not fair! Then, who is this obscure youth?” Tian looked at Jaden with a hostile look.
“Not your business, let us go!” jaden.
However, Tian's friends instead held them back.
Actually Jaden could have knocked them out with his muscle power, let alone he already had great magic. But, being flashy and the center of attention Jaden doesn't like.
Jaden no longer wants to be popular like before, he is afraid.
“Release!”
“No before I'm satisfied to beat you up!”
