We arrived to the academy, Riley was asked to wait until someone from the physical combat academy comes. I, Luna and Casey follow the two professors into the giant mansion like academy. My castle and maze of a house couldn’t possibly go against the sheer size of the academy. It was so big, it would probably take about two hours to walk around the building once. We are navigated through the building until we reach the principal's office, the male professor knocks on the door twice.
“May we come in?”
“By all means.”, said a voice on the other side. The door is opened without the help of any arms, and we help ourselves in.
“We have made it back from the town of Arlemberry, and have located 2 prodigy class citizens.”, he talks to the other side of the room, where lies a table with a chair facing the opposite direction as us, and through the window. Then he turns to look at the girls. The principle was an awfully young man, with slightly pointed ears and blonde hair.
“Commoners?”, he asks.
“Lower, sir”, the principle showed a facial expression of both surprise and delight.
“Great! Commence their registration at once.”
“Yes sir.” the male professor looks at the female one, signaling her to start.
“How about the gentleman over there?”, asked the principle.
“Ahh yes, he is Duke Arthur the hero’s and Lady Malinda’s one and only son, savior of-”, he is cut off by the principal.
“Alright alright, Arthur’s son, a Noble indeed, but why was no information given to me about him with the girls?”
“Well, during his examination, the testing tool broke, the orb shattered into pieces.”, the principle started to nod at the wall while scratching his chin.

“So we will bring him to the permanent tool?”
“That is what we plan to do so sir.”
“Alright, I will also accompany you.”, the principle walks over to the door by closing in on my, and stops as soon as he looks directly at me, as if he just noticed how I look like.
“Red hair… no, Scarlet to be exact, just like the Goddess is supposed to look like, is the hair dyed boy?”
“No sir, all natural”, he started to space out to think, and was snapped back into reality a few seconds later.
“I see, thats one rare occurrence”, we then proceeded to walk over to the academy’s own personal testing tool.
The room was pretty small, with only me, the male professor, the principle, and another woman I have never seen before inside. She seems to be some sort of research specialist of the academy. In the center of the room lies a large rectangle door-like frame, made with different material also the frame seems to be either decorated or armored with an odd glowing metal. The same is being surrounded by the orb, which is a bit larger than the one in town.
“Are preparations ready?” asked the principle.
“Yes sir”, replied the woman. “You may walk through kiddo”, nervous, I turn towards the tool and proceed to walk, until I go through it. Like last time, for some reason nothing happens.
“Huh?”, said the woman.
“Hmm.” the principle was questioning the results.
“This kid is a Noble right?”
“Indeed, he is Duke Arthur the hero’s on-”, suddenly the orb finally went off and shined so bright, it could defeat the sun’s light.
“Kate!”, screamed the principle, looking away from the orb while covering his eyes with his arms, the male principle was doing the same.
“Yes sir!”, Kate tried her best to look towards the orb, and took out her staff and use a spell, the spell summon a transparent but outlined cube, surrounding the orb, and she just kept it there, until a full minute passes by and the light dissolves, this time not only shattering the orb, but breaking the whole frame into pieces. They all look at the debree and the death of one of their greatest creations in awe.
“Sorry about the tool, I did not mean to do it.”, I say, apologetically. The principle sigh.
“Its fine, its not really your fault, but most importantly, Kate, did you get them all?”
“I did sir, all 8 in fact.”
