The Mysterious Hero
9. Preparation

"Previous to those of you who made it to this academy. Because it's still the first day... I'll give you a special gift."

"Back home?"

"Task-free?"

"No, an impromptu magic test."

"...."

"WHATAAAAA??????" Shouted the entire class instantly. How not? This was their first day becoming disciples of Star Magic Academy. The day they were supposed to start introducing themselves and choosing a class manager, but they had to face an impromptu exam with no preparation at all.

Zen raised his hand. "But Alpha sir, we're still not learning at all. The material is whatever we don't know." Clearly, they had just entered, they still did not know what would be taught in this Academy.

Hearing that question, a smile was actually imprinted on Alpha's face.

"In addition, shouldn't the introduction or introduction of the school first huh?" Laura asked, raising her hand.

"There is no time to do such a useless thing. Since the new rules were implemented, it also gave each teacher the freedom to decide what to teach."

"In addition, as a student who has high enough magic, it is very important to be able to know the correct way to control their magic, and not the origin of using it to play." His continued with a sharp tone, complete with a killing aura that he spread made the atmosphere of the class so gripping.

But on the other hand, Ruka was very sharp. Obviously what Alpha said was a lie. He never made such a rule!

That freedom is only given to the students, with the aim that they become people who can account for their mistakes.

Ruka herself did not have the right to change the rules of the teachers here. But if Alpha sir had said such a thing, even in front of the disciples, what could he do?

But, this could also be an opportunity for her to see the abilities of the new disciples, and look for a demonic figure that possessed one of them.

By doing this impromptu exercise, he will know how much the disciples are capable of, and on the other hand see who else is likely to be the target of the parasitic demon.

Because parasitic demons tend to target people who have strong magic abilities to be their hosts. That way, he would be more protected when in danger, also benefiting him while controlling the person's mind to attack.

His high host ability would naturally be a huge advantage to him.

Therefore, with training that indirectly shows their strength, at the same time it will make it easier for Ruka to catch the parasitic demon as well.

*****

All the disciples had now gathered in the field to begin the magic test. It seemed that some of them had already started warming up, or were slightly testing their magic abilities.

A sizable field with a magic barrier that formed a dome, surrounded it a few meters from the spectator bench. The magic protector serves to protect the audience so as not to be exposed to the effects of magic attacks when matches or duels are conducted.

The atmosphere around the field seems lonely, maybe because other students have returned to start lessons in the new school year, or arrange a class organization for their students.

Shortly, Alpha sir came. While walking, he stared intently at the disciples who immediately lined up so neatly, not least Ruka.

"In this exam, you will be competing one-on-one. Give all your abilities to defeat your opponent. Feel free to attack or use your magic power here. For who will be your opponent, let me decide. But before that,"

Alpha looked at Ruka for a moment. Then turned his gaze back to the other Golden Class disciples.

"Does anyone here have healing abilities?"

Two children appear to be raising their hands.

One of them, a young man with brown hair and bluish-green eyes. He was Orias Ivory, son of the Ivory nobility who had quite high healing abilities. Even his healing ability can be used in a long distance, as long as Orias knows the position of the person he will heal.

Besides Orias, there is also Furin Ivory. The girl with gray ash hair and bluish green eyes. He is the younger brother of Orias. However, her healing magic ability was not as great as Orias. Furin more often uses her magic as an alchemist for her healing potions.

"You two don't have to fight, your job is to heal your friend who is injured later."

"Good!" Answer Orias and Furin simultaneously. On the one hand they were happy because there was no need to fight their classmates, especially the princes.

"In addition to Ruka, you don't need to come either. Your ability is too overpowering. I don't want this field destroyed by your magic explosion. Your job is to supervise the duel of the disciples and record their results, advantages and disadvantages." Continue Alpha.

Instantly everyone immediately stared at the horror towards Ruka. Is that as powerful as magic?

Well... Ruka herself did not bother about that. That way he could more freely watch over the Golden Class disciple later.

"All right, just go ahead. Yuka Alvern versus Leon Alvern. Give up all your abilities to win this duel."

"YES!" Cheers Leon instantly. Because, even though they are brothers, but it is very rare for Leon to be able to fight his sister directly. Either because he is too busy with the exercises with the knights, or Yuka who sometimes likes to fall asleep or busy with her work.

Therefore, when there is a chance to fight him directly, Leon is very excited and certainly will not waste this opportunity.

Another disciple disciple immediately walked off the field, towards the spectator bench. While Ruka was standing at the edge of the field, activating protective magic.

"Okay, first game. Yuka Alvern versus Leon Alvern. Ready..."

The two participants instantly prepared their magic. A smile of spirit emanated on Leon's face, along with the flames in his two hands that were blazing.

Yuka was just staring. Ice started popping around him, freezing his left hand.

A fight between two brothers with opposing elements. Who will win among them?
