The day went by since Hayato went crazy at the market. This morning, Raff and Hayato had put on their new clothes to go to Elexia Academy. Today, on the 27th of the 7th month of the year 1000 Superbia, the Elexia Academy entrance exam is being held. All teenagers between the ages of 15 and 20 who want to become adventurers will attend the only academy in the Ruttera Kingdom.

Raff and Hayato started to walk through the wilderness area that separated the city from the academy, the towering spires of the academy were already visible from the forest area. The river flowing down from the mountain could also be seen flowing through the academy area.

The academy was like three large villages, the borders of which were fenced in. The royal palace was at the foot of Mount Ruttera, and could be seen more clearly because it ran parallel to the academy building.

Raff could sense a lot of mana gathering in the wilderness area: "It seems that many other teenagers are also heading to Elexia Academy.”

"They also don't want to miss this once a year opportunity, if they fail this year, they will have to wait another year to take the test. But judging by the numbers, it looks like we got here too early," Hayato said.

"Besides, the academy only accepts 20-year-olds at the most, so it's hard to be an adventurer in this era. In the past, even grandparents could start a life as an adventurer without having to take all the tests in a place called the Academy," Raff said.

Raff and Hayato finally reached the open area where the Academy building was now fully visible. A high fence had been seen at the edge of the academy area, and in the distance it seemed as if there were also many teenagers approaching the gate area.

"It must have taken a long time to build this place," Raff said in amazement when he saw the buildings in the academy area.

"This academy was founded about eight hundred years ago, the initial construction began during the time of the holy heroes who had defeated Luminer," Hayato explained.

"It is not for nothing that you like to read books," Raff said with a smile.

"Books are the key to knowledge and knowledge is the key to power, don't underestimate a book," Hayato grumbled.

"Obviously I was praising you," Raff said annoyed.

The two of them soon joined the group of other teenagers heading for the gate of Elexia Academy. Among the group of teenagers, there were also teenagers wearing the same uniform; teenagers wearing uniforms were immediately allowed to enter by the eight soldiers guarding the gate.

Raff looked surprised when he saw the uniforms worn by those who immediately entered the academy area, "Their uniforms, similar to the girl who attacked me in the market.”

The teenagers in different clothes seemed to have to line up at the gate, eight heavily armed soldiers began questioning them one by one, along with a middle-aged man in a different uniform.

"That uniform, it looks like the middle-aged class fighter who attacked me in the market," Raff said, remembering the clothes of the Bara who had attacked him.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

"What were you saying before, hurry up and get in line while you can," Hayato grumbled as he pulled Raff in front of him.

"What's your name?" the soldier on duty asked when it was Raff's turn.

"Raff Lostfield," Raff replied.

"This is your number. Don't lose it! From here you must go into the hall and wait there with the others until someone calls your number," the soldier said as he pinned a numbered pin to Raff's shirt.

"Number 027?" said Raff, holding up the number on his shirt.

"Number 028, looks like we got here first," said Hayato as he walked after the other teenagers.

Raff walked after Hayato. In the distance, several teenagers in uniforms stood to direct the arriving teenagers.

"This way!" said a man in uniform, directing the arriving teenagers.

"You're not stopping anywhere until the test is over!" said a girl in uniform nearby.

"That's too bad. I wanted to take a tour of the place," Raff said, staring at the Academy's multi-story building.

"You can do that later," Hayato said, also looking at the academy building.

Raff was always amazed by the Elexia Academy building. This time, the group of teenagers who would be taking the test began to walk down the hallway of the academy building.

A breeze began to hit Raff's body as he enjoyed the scenery around the hallway, but his steps stopped when he saw a familiar figure. His pupils dilated along with the smile that graced his face. His heart beat faster than before.

Raff's gaze was now fixed on a beautiful blonde girl wearing an Academy uniform. The girl seemed to be with two other girls who were leading the teenagers to another corridor. Hayato also stopped his steps and looked back, confused by Raff's current expression.

The teenagers who passed the blonde-haired girl seemed to bow their heads respectfully while smiling happily. They also looked at the girl with admiring glances. The sweet smile that adorned the blonde girl's face added to her graceful figure. The girl also seemed to be very friendly, directing the teenagers who were about to take the test.

"Hey Raff, do you need to relieve yourself?" asked Hayato when he saw Raff still not moving.

"Lyn!" Raff suddenly shouted as he ran towards the beautiful blonde girl.

"Huh?" said Hayato in surprise when he heard Raff.

Suddenly all the teenagers present were surprised and turned their attention to Raff, the beautiful blonde girl seemed to be staring at Raff who was running towards her. Raff immediately smiled and spread his arms as if he wanted to hug the beautiful girl in front of him.

"What are you doing, asshole!" snapped another girl who was with the blonde girl.

Raff's body fell to the ground after being punched in the face by the blonde girl's friend, and everyone there looked shocked. The blonde girl only fell silent in shock when she saw Raff.

"What are you going to do to the princess, huh?" snapped a red-haired youth who immediately approached the scene.

"Tch. He's always making trouble," Hayato grumbled as he approached Raff.

But Raff immediately stood up, regardless of the teenagers around him, "Lyn. You're here," he said with a smile.

"Who are you calling Lyn?" the uniformed youth snapped as he shook his fist in Raff's face.

Raff quickly ducked his head so that the red-haired youth's punch only hit the wind. The youth looked shocked and tried to attack again with his right leg kick, but Raff deflected the youth's attack and hooked his leg. The red-haired youth fell to the ground, grimacing in pain, and the two girls who had been near the blonde immediately stepped forward to block Raff.

"What are you going to do to Princess Mia, huh?" the blonde girl's friend asked.

Raff looked at the blonde girl's two friends in surprise, "Mia? What do you mean?" asked Raff, turning his eyes to the blonde girl. "Lyn, I've been looking for you for a long time in this kingdom," Raff said with a smile.

But the blonde girl looked surprised, "Who are you? Have we met before?"

At that moment, Raff's heartbeat seemed to stop, and the look on his face, which had been very happy, changed drastically. The blonde girl's short question seemed to pierce his heart.

"You can't be kidding Lyn, at a time like this you still want to tease me. I can't possibly forget you and your mana aura," Raff said, trying to smile.

"Lyn? Who is she? My name is Mia," the blonde girl replied with a confused look on her face.
