Chapter 7- Royal Academy of Daudis (II)

"Ok, with that we conclude the first part of the practical exams. Now you all shall rest, we will meet again here, in the main pavillion in two hours." Said one of the examinators with an enigmatic smile.

All the students who passed the first test wore satisfied smiles on their face as they sighed in relieve. There were around one thousand remaining students candidates. They splitted in groups of three or five and went to rest. Most of them were exhausted because of the pressure of having the test for the Royal Academy instead of the test itself, after all it was a rather simple one.

Oz decided to go to the coffe shop of the university like most of the other candidates. It was a huge hall which could accomodate more than five hundred people. While he was walking he spotted a familiar face on the crowd. It was the girl he met in the Super-train. She was accompanied by another girl, tall, with long black hair and wild eyes.

Oz smiled as he made his way towards the two girls. "Hey, I didn`t know you were one of the student candidates."

The girl, a little bit surprised turned to Oz`s direction and then she smiled. "Me neither, hmm, now that I think about it. We never told our names to each other, right?" She said with a cute expression.

"Oz Rezlley." Said Oz as he extended his hand.

"Tzura Rowling, nice to meet you Oz!" Said the girl with enthusiasm as she shook vigourously the extended hand of Oz.

"Nice to meet you too, Tzura." Said Oz with a tender smile, then he looked to the girl standing besides Tzura.

"Ups, sorry. This is my new friend Cana."

"Hi, I`m Cana." Said the black-haired pretty girl with a monotone voice without changing her facial expressions.

"Nice to meet you, Cana. Hmm... Have we met somewhere before?" Asked Oz, confused. Like if he were trying to process all the information inside of his head looking for a certain memory.

"No. probably not." She said, this time with a slight smile.

"Is that so? I`m sorry, I felt your face was rather familiar, my bad. Forgive me." Said Oz as he bowed slightly.

"Puuu, Oz I`m grateful you saved me last time. But I won`t hand over my friend! You pervert!" Said Tzura while sticking out her tongue.

"Haha, Damn as expected of detective Tzura I don`t have a chance with her awesome deductive skills!" Said Oz as he shook his head and made an exagerated expression.

"Pufufu, yes you are right! No perverts allowed near my presence!"

"Well, shall we go and get an table?" Intervened Cana politely.

"Yes, sure. Let`s go."

The three of them seated on a table near the window with sights to the garden. Oz ordered black coffe, while Tzura and Cana ordered apple parfait and orange juice respectively. While they walked to their table, some of the male students looked towards Oz`s direction with envious gazes. After all, he was being accompanied by two beauties.

"So what do you think the second test would be like?" Asked Tzura while attaking the parfait with her spoon.

"Maybe fighting against the other students?"

"Wrong, everyone knows the fighting test is the last one from the three tests. So this second test must be something else." Replied Cana.

"Oh, my bad.  Well, I only hope it`s not too dificult."

"Oh right, right. Oz did you see the red-haired guy`s performance? He scored over three hundred on density of illeidos, what a monster!" Said Tzura with a mix of awe and respect.

"Not only that, his illeidos quality was also first rate, and he is even a magician. If I only had a quarter of his talent..." Added Cana helplessly, she was not as stiff as before. She relaxed in Oz presence as they conversed and she found out that he was actually a nice guy without hidden intentions like some of the other candidates who tried to speak to them.

"Haha, well there are definetely some monsters on this Academy. Or rather, as expected of the Royal Academy. They have the Scarlet Princess, the most powerful student council president of the last few decades and also that second year Electro-Wizard with a power rivaling that Scarlet Princess. And now with the arrival of this red-haired guy..." Said Oz with a solemn look.

"But, Reslley you are also quite gifted too. I remember your first test. You got first-rate illeidos. With that quality, even if your density is not as high as other students you would still have advantage over them. Of course, excluding those monsters with over 20 density." Encouraged Cana.

"I think you are overrating me though."

************************************************************************************************************

A female student candidate was fleeing at top speed in the school grounds. She was taking a stroll near the garden when she felt a black shadow chasing her. At first, she thought it was an illusion produced by the stress. But when that shadow dashed towards her direction, she felt goosebumps and started fleeing.

But before she realised it, she was running into a corner. But now she was also a lot calmer than before. Thinking logically it was almost unbelievable that someone would dare to attack in the territory of the Royal Academy, and even if they wanted to attack, why would their target be a mere student candidate? She couldn`t remember offending someone so powerful, so this must be a test arranged by the school, the second test!

The girl stopped running away and turned to the black shadows` direction. With a firm gaze she shouted.

"Ok, you wanted it. Don`t look down on a student of the Royal Academy of Daudis! "

Actually she was not a student yet, only a candidate. But she was too excited, too afraid or maybe too confident. So she shouted those defiant words before realising it. She took a spear out of her i-wristband and infused it with her illeidos. Then with all her courage, she striked the black shadow.

The black shadow instantly vanished with the strike. And only now could the girl finally relax. And then she could see clearly that her legs were trembling all the time, since she first felt the presence until now. She cried, first moderately and then with more energy. Tears of relieve, of fear, of joy. The tears of a candidate who passed the second test.

*****************************************************************************************************

"Damn! Why do I have to face all those crazy candidates? Man, she took out a F***ing spear, you know? If I had been only a little bit careless I would have been severely wounded."

"Hahaha, well this year we have some promising students, besides you are far luckier than the guy who was send after that red-haired youth. Nobody told him that the red-haired was a magician and he was roasted like a chicken. We had to call the medical department teachers, he got some serious burns on his arms when he tried to get out of the fire." Replied a voice throught the transmitter incorporated in the i-wristband of the youth who was complaining.

"Uff that must have been awful. I only hope that the rewards for this shit is worth it."

"Yes, me too. I dind`t join the Blue Sparks to have my as* worked off."

Blue Spark, that was the name of the student organization with the task to control the use of violence in the school grounds and outside of it, as long as it involved the students of the Royal Academy. They were like the private security corps of the Academy, integrated exclusively by students and their influence was on par with the student council. The requirements to join were hard. You had to be someone with a remarkable strenght and also be recommended by two or more senior Blue Sparks.

They had tight connections to the sucurity corps of Daudis and the national security corps. In fact, a lot of the former students who were once part of Blue Spark would join later one of those corps.

"Well I just spotted our next target." Said the blue spark member with a laugh through the transmitter. "This lucky bastard is walking leisurely with a beauty on each hand while we are being worked off, I think he deserves...a little surprise." Said the guy with a malicious smile.

"Damn, that bastard. But don`t be too overconfident, maybe he will take out a spear like my target. And he is not alone." Warned the other guy through the transmitter.

"No worries, I`m not like you, I will make a sneak attack, he won`t see it coming until it`s too late."

The student stealthly got near and near Oz, with a dangerous smile on his face. And then without warning nor producing any sound he moved like a flash aiming to Oz`s neck, he wanted to knock him out.

But then, suddenly, another flash, even faster than the first one hitted the neck of the student. He only felt the coldness of a freezing silverish gaze before falling into darkness.

*********************************************************************************************************

"Wh-hwa-what?" Asked Tzura nesvously when she saw Oz suddenly taking a wooden sword out of his i-wirstband. She turned around and saw a youth lying on the ground, unconscius. Then she grew even more nervous. But, Cana put a hand on her shoulder and said comfortingly. "Don`t worry, he just tried to attack us, besides he is quite young, probably a student. Maybe this is..."

But before she could finish her words, Oz interrumped her. "I think we should call a teacher, wait me here."

"Sure." Replied the two girls as Oz started running to find a teacher.

(Damn, I was too careless, I almost dind`t notice the sneak attack until the last moment. Maybe I hit him too hard, Anyways, I should hurry and find a teacher fast.)

Moments later, Oz returned with a middle-aged woman, probably in her forties with a few wrinkles on her beatiful face. As soon as she saw the unconscius youth, she asked, surprised.

"Did you guys knock him out?" Her voice contained a hint of incredulity. After all, she knew that this youth was one of the most remarkable members from Blue Spark.

"Well, actually it was Reslley who knocked him out, I almost dind`t notice it until the guy was already in the world of dreams. Seriously, You got some nice reflexes there." Praised Cana.

"My foster parent was a mercenary and he raised me into a cautious man."

"Hmm, so it was you. Well, let this guy to this old woman and head to the main pavillion. Don`t be late, Professor Dars is quite serious about punctuality."

"Thank you, then we will be off." Replied Oz as he started rushing towards the main pavillion with the two girls.

"Hmm, this year we got some interesting student candidates." Whispered the woman as she smirked.
