_Porus:_ (activating _Reality Warping_) Time to slow you down!

Porus emerged from the Dark Forest, his powers and abilities honed to perfection. He had heard of a prestigious academy, Nalanda Mystic School, where the most talented mages and warriors gathered to master their crafts.
_Porus:_ (to himself) I've heard Nalanda Mystic School is the place to learn from the best.
Porus traveled to the academy, where he met a few aspirant students similar to him, all seeking to join the academy.
_Arjun:_ (determined) I've been training for years to join Nalanda.
_Raman:_ (focused) I won't give up until I become a master mage.
_Jax:_ (confident) I'm the strongest one here. I'll definitely get in.
_Porus:_ (respectfully) I'm Porus. Nice to meet you all.
Together, they learned that to join the academy, they had to pass a magical and mental test.
_Nalanda Mystic School's Examiner:_ (smiling) Welcome, aspirants. To join our academy, you must first prove yourself worthy. Each of you will undergo a magical and mental test, pushing your abilities to the limit.
The aspirants nodded, ready to face the challenge. Porus and the others entered a mystical chamber, where their magical and mental abilities were put to the test.
The magical and mental test had three stages:
1. *Magical Theory*: Aspirants demonstrated their understanding of complex magical concepts and theories.
1. *Magical Practice*: They completed magical tasks, showcasing their technique and control.
1. *Mental Agility*: Aspirants navigated a shifting maze, using problem-solving skills and intuition to reach the center.
The Examiner evaluated their overall performance, and those who excelled were welcomed as new students to Nalanda Mystic School.
Porus, determined to keep a low profile, utilized his Nexus Veil ability to conceal his true potential. He carefully calibrated his magical output, ensuring his performance was above average but not exceptionally outstanding.
During the exam, Porus:
1. Demonstrated a solid understanding of magical theories, answering questions correctly but without revealing his deeper insights.
1. Completed magical tasks with precision and control, yet avoided showcasing his most advanced techniques.
1. Navigated the mental agility maze with ease, using his intuition and problem-solving skills to reach the center quickly, but without revealing his full speed and agility.
The Examiner, impressed but not astonished, noted Porus' above-average performance.
_Nalanda Mystic School's Examiner:_ (smiling) Well done, Porus. Your magical and mental abilities are impressive. You have passed the exam and are welcome to join our academy.
Porus, having achieved his goal of joining the academy without drawing attention to himself, smiled humbly and accepted the offer.
Porus stepped out of the examination hall and into the Academy Square, feeling a mix of relief and excitement. He was thrilled to see his friends, Arjun, Meera, and Jax, waiting for him with big smiles.
_Arjun:_ (excitedly) Porus, we did it! We all passed!
_Raman:_ (laughing) And we're all assigned to the same dormitory!
_Jax:_ (grinning) Looks like we're stuck together, friends!
Porus chuckled, feeling a sense of camaraderie with his friends.
_Porus:_ (smiling) I'm glad we're all together. It'll make this journey more enjoyable.
The friends made their way to their assigned dormitory, eager to start their new life at Nalanda Mystic School.
As they entered their dorm, they were greeted by a cozy common room and four comfortable-looking bedrooms.
_Arjun:_ (impressed) Not bad, not bad at all.
_Raman:_ (excitedly) Let's claim our rooms and get settled!
_Jax:_ (jokingly) And then, let's explore this place and find all the secrets.
Porus smiled, feeling grateful for his friends and the adventures that lay ahead.
