Today is the day, the day we will reach our destination. The city called Turonis.
And the magic academy called Turon is placed within it.
* I heard that the city was build for a steady supplement of food and goods for the students.
And the books of magic Tiers said in their instructions, that the headmaster of each magic academy is a Tier 10 magician. I´d like to see the power of the supposedly strongest magicians.
School life sure will be fun.
After a few more hours, it currently was midday, we reached the outskirts of the city.
It was a giant city for this world. The last one was round about 20.000 people no more, but this one was large enough for 200.000.
There were three walls, one larger than the other. The smallest one was made out of normal stone while the other two looked like they were white.
The order was: normal stone with a height of around 25 meters, the second one was 30 meter and the third one was 45 meters high. They all formed a circle.
Sadly, I was not able to see more than the insides of the first wall.
The buildings were out of wood and some out of stone.
We had to wait for three hours to get a permission of entry.
Many people are apparently streaming in the city because the new semester will begin next week and tomorrow is the application day.
We went to an inn and got our rooms. And the next day the caravan woman wanted to bring me to the school.
We were stopped at the second wall because we had to pay 20 silver for a pass which will allow us to trespass whenever we want.
“Sorry, I will not allow you to spend so much money just because you want to bring me to the school.”Me
She looked like she considered to spend the money but finally said.
“If you say so, but be sure to be careful. Don´t speak with strangers and don´t go in narrow streets.” Caravan Woman
“Then goodbye, maybe we will meet again.” Me
“Have a good school life,” She said and hugged me one last time.
I gave the guard the money and he gave me a card in exchange.
The insides of the second wall looked like it was mostly inhabited by wealthy merchants and minor nobles. Most of the buildings were now out of stone.
* Good that I am currently wearing my dress and beret.
I think otherwise the guard would not have let me in.
I walked between wealthy looking people and most of the men looked fat or ugly while the woman looked like dressed up dolls.
* Too much make-up, I can´t understand why women love this stuff. There is nothing that looks better than a natural looking, smiling woman. All these fake stuff is annoying.
I once heard that there is a saying, “ If you hide, you will never find what you want.”
So if women hide their true face while expecting to find their love, are they then even allowed to complain when they don´t find true love?
They are literally basing their relationship on lies.
While I thought over unnecessary stuff I reached the first gate and was again stopped by a guard, but this one had way better equipment.
“Stop, state your concerns and pay one gold coin or else you are not allowed to trespass.” Guard
* Expensive! One gold coin is enough for a family of four for a year...
“I want to attend the magic academy,” I said while giving him the gold coin.
“Okay, you will see a large building inside, that has a sign which has written on it “Reception” you can register there for the exam.” Guard
I thanked him and walked past him.
* So there is an entrance exam? I hope the ID-Cards aren´t shown for the masses.
I saw a large building completely out of stone with the described sign.
It had a large line in front of the entrance. Most of the people looked way older than me, mostly around 20. There even were some with cat ears and tails, but they were an extreme minority. I could not see any elf´s.
I stopped at the end of the line and waited.
I was just a few people away from the entrance, as I noticed a commotion behind me, so I turned around and saw a man.
He was chubby, around 16 years old, had brown hair and many pimples. He also had two guards with him and walked beside the line.
He was clearly skipping the waiting order.
Some people whispered.
“That´s the son of the duke.”
“It sucks to let him do this, but he is a higher noble.”
“I wish I could do that.”
The said noble saw me and stopped right before me and bowed.
“I am the second son of duke Highlorn, Steve Jeremaia Gustav von Highlorn. May I know the name of this fair lady?” He said with a voice that was overflowing with arrogance.
* I think he hasn’t noticed my ears, which were currently under my beret. But he is ugly if I would say so.
“My name is Clair. “ I answered him
He looked displeased and said.
“A commoner? That makes it easy, become my concubine. “ He demanded.
* Hoh? I think I´ll show him that I look like an elf and call him Mr. Chubby.
I took my hat off and clearly heard some gasps.
Now he had a look of loath and lust.
“This makes it even more easy, become my sex slave,” He said like he would give me a present.
The people around me said.
“She was an elf?”
“Even then, poor little girl.”
“I wish I could demand such things.”
“No!” I said
“Of course you agree.... wait what?” Mr. Chubby
“I said no.” Me
“How could you refuse my offer?! Guards beat her down and take her with us. I have to teach her later to not answer back.” Mr. Chubby screamed with a red face.
The guard drew their swords and began to close in. But a voice boomed from the entrance of the building.
“Stop right there. “ Female ???
We all looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in her late thirties with blond, shoulder length hair, large breasts, and a stunning body. Her appearance almost screamed MILF.
“You currently are on the ground of the Turon Academy and the school rules clearly state that every student or soon to be students has to be treated equally, without looking at their race.
You are no exception so if she don´t want to be your concubine or whatever else she has every right to refuse.
Even if your are the son of the duke. If you don´t submit to these rules you can leave. “ She said
“Tch, okay, okay. “ Mr. Chubby said and walked past me but whispered quietly.
“I will get you if you want it or not.”
He skipped the rest of the line and walked inside.
I gave the woman a nod of appreciation to which she smiled. Then she turned around and walked back inside.
A few minutes later I was inside and could see that there was a counter and behind said counter was the woman.
* I hope the stat results aren´t shown for the masses if so I have to make them as small as possible if not I´ll raise them at 100 each.
I had to wait a few more minutes until it was finally my turn.
I stepped in front of the woman and said.
“Thank you miss, for helping me, it would have gotten annoying if I had to deal with them myself.”
“Heh, you do know that his guards are trained veteran soldiers, do you?” She said with a raised eyebrow.
“Yes. “ Not saying anything more to this topic I continued with a question. “ Will they show my stats for the masses or is the school keeping them for themselves?”
“ Your stats will determine your class, and as such will indicate a portion of them but further than that no one will know them. Except for the teachers.” She said.
“That´s good then. “ I said and gave her my ID-Card.
It showed the following.
Name: ClairAge: 13Gender: FemaleStrength: 102Inteligence: 129Rank: GAgility: 123Wisdom: 115Race: Elf
Here eyes went a little wide but she quickly gained her composure back and said.
“I see with this astounding stats I can understand your confidence. But be careful, these stats are not high enough if you want to beat two opponents who were B-Rank adventurers.”
* So 100 is not so much? I thought it was as I saw dads stats. But he also said they were D-Rank adventurers and I heard the ranking list is
So the ranks from G to D are not much?G, F,E,D,C,B,A,S,SS,X
“Thanks for the advice. What am I to do now?” I asked
“Well looking at your stats it would be possible for you to enter all curriculum's.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
There is the warrior class, mage class, and engineer class. Which one do you like?
By the way, my name is Malinda a teacher in magic. “ Malinda said.
“Then if I would apply for the mage classes I would have you as my teacher?” Me
“Only if your test scores are high enough to bring you in the A-Class.
We have three different classes C,D and A, where A is the highest.” Malinda
“But there is a problem with my magic, “ I said.
“You just have to conjure a spell of the second Tier to get permission for the mage class, but only a fourth Tier would you get into the A-Class. “ Malinda said clearly thinking I mean that I could not conjure spells as high as my stats would indicate.
“That is a problem. “ I said softly.
“Why?” She asked and I gestured her to lean forward, what she did and I whispered in her ear.
“I don´t conjure my spells the normal way.”
She had a look that showed that she don´t know what I mean so I continued.
“I use voiceless incantations,” I said as quiet as I could.
This time, her eyes went wide and her jaw dropped.
“If you say the truth, it would mean that the gods themselves are helping you. Say which aptitudes do you have?” She asked and got louder with each word.
I signaled her to quiet down,
* I think I should not tell her all my magic secrets.
and then whispered.
“Sorry, I have to keep a few thinks secret.” I with a wry smile.
“Yes, yes I can understand that no one want´s to show all their cards.” Malinda
“But does that mean that you can´t use incantations with voice?” She asked
“I can, but I don´t know any, so if you would give me a sheet with the incantation on it I could do it.”
“Hm, that would go, but you have to learn the incantations in the school even when you don´t need them. So for which aptitude should I write an incantation and which Tear?“ Malinda
“Would a fourth Tear spell guarantee my admission in the A-Class?” I asked.
“Normally no, if there were more than 20 people who could do it we would measure them further with their Skills in mana capacity's, spell handling, and mana manipulation.”Malinda
* Skills? Did I hear that correctly? The people around me have also skills?
Why did I not saw them as I looked at dads stats? Maybe it is another command?
Back then I just tried to see his stats, let me test it on Malinda.
I looked her in the eyes and thought °Show Stats, Show Skills° and two windows popped up.

* Ah there it is, but why are her skills so low?
And Half-Elf? Interesting, I wonder which Rank she had.
“Is there a problem? “Malinda asked and I noticed that I had stared at her for a minute or so.
“Oh, ähm no, but I have a question, how easy is it to acquire skill Lvs, stat points, skills, and titles? I never had one which I could ask.” Me
“These are all themes in your normal curriculum. So which element and Tier spell should I give you?”
Malina
“Well, a fire spell of the fifth Tier would be enough. “Me
“Is that so, I hope you are not overestimating the hardship of magic Tiers, a fifth Tier spell is significantly stronger than a fourth Tier.” She warned me.
“If I can´t do it I have to learn more.” I said and smiled.
“Good attitude you have there. Then here you go a fire spell of the fifth Tier.” She said and handed me a sheet with some gibberish on it.
* Urg, this spell language is so hard to learn and speak...
(AutorNote: For those who haven´t noticed it is German.)
I thanked her and she said I had to wait a little longer. The tests are held in groups of twenty and there were 5 more needed.
Another teacher guided us to an arena and said we had to hit a straw puppet with our strongest spells, and that we don´t have to worry if we were a supporter. He has skills and knowledge that shows him the used mana, mana control, magic Tier and influences of the skill.
Many people had just used spells which apparently were not more than the fourth Tier. You ask how I know? Simple, one student used one and the teacher said, that he has to go through another door were the other A-Class candidates were waiting.
3 out of the other 19 used fourth Tier spells until it was my turn.
The students snickered as I took my sheet and begun to read it out loud.
“Ähm, how do you read that? Well, let´s give it a try.”Me
“Ifrit, Herr des Feuers, gewähre mir die Hitze deiner Flammen und brenne meine Feinde zu Asche.
Erhöhre mein Flehen um Macht und gib mir Kraft. [Feuer Seule]” Also me but in another language.
A 20 meter high pillar out of fire erupted around the straw puppet but it hit more that just one, it was 5 meters wide and we could feel the heat from our position which was more than 100 meter away.
The remaining students fell back on their butts and the teacher mumbled something like.
“Fifth Tier with accurate precision and nearly no mana waste....” He had a face of disbelieve.
“Äää, was that good enough?” I asked timidly.
* Acting Skill you´re cool.
“What? Oh, äh, yes, go through this door.” He said and pointed to the door for the A-Class.
I did as said and found myself in a large room with many students.
* There clearly are more than 20 who can use fourth Tier. And most off them are way older than me. Mostly 20-30. There were no elfs and just a few beastkins.
“Hey, why is there an elf girl in this room? “ ???
“Have you lost your master?” ???
Everyone in the room looked now in my direction and I said.
“I´m not a slave and I am here because I passed the test.”
Many begun to laugh and I could even see Mr. Chubby.
* So Mr. Chubby also passed? He did not look like he had it in him.
“Hey, little not a slave it would be better if you leave, we are too much for the A-Class and you surely has not the power needed for attending such a good class. “ A guy in his thirties said.
“Nope, I´ll pass.” I said and walked to a corner.
The people began again to laugh.
We had to wait for one hour until a teacher came.
It was Malinda ad she said.
“Hello, as you already can see you are way to much for a class out off twenty, so we will now call the names of the students who were good enough in our opinion for attending the A-Class.
The names are not in any order so you will not know who the best is.”
She then called some names up, Mr. Chubby was also in it until she said my name.
Which in return started a commotion but,
“QUIET, everyone who not agrees with our opinion can leave.” Malinda
“How could this elf” He spat the word elf, “ girl be good enough for the A-Class.” The guy who wanted me to leave.
“This girl conjured a Tier five spell so be quiet.” Malinda rebuked and everyone was quiet.
“Good, then let me continue.”
We were now twenty and Malinda said we had to follow her....

Well yeah, I found finally a way to connect my windows, so I will use them now more often.
But I don´t if I should change the Skill announcements, I did it like this for a few chapters... What do you say?
