“Good afternoon Waterbell village, my name is Ms.Naomi, I’m one of the many teachers at Shinseina Academy, and today I will pick three future students who will enroll into our academy.” She says.
“In this world there are different powers, Fighter, Magician, Summoner, Swordsman, Marksman, you either are born with one of these powers or aren’t, those who don’t have one are called powerless, in very rare cases you can have two powers, we’ll speak on that later.”
“Now for the exam itself.”
She takes out a colorless orb out of nowhere.
“You will have to touch this orb, once you touch this orb it will glow a certain color, the color will determine your ability, however if it does not glow that means you have no ability and will automatically be unable to enter Shinseina Academy as a student.”
People start to go up one by one, many with high hopes get rejected.
Few minutes go by, a boy touches the orb, it starts to glow a grayish silver color.
“Marksmen” says Ms.Naomi
People start cheering, his parents run up and congratulate him.
A short guy with short brown hair in the line turns his head and sees Rin and Genki.
“Mr. Luca look, Lin is still alive!”
“What if he tells on us?”
“Don’t worry, my dad is the village leader, he probably doesn’t even remember what happened last night.” Says a tall teenager with blonde hair and lean muscle.
Rin is thinking about how he is going to get back to the real world.
“What is my name again?” he asks Genki
“Lin Reji.”
“What even happened last night, I found you in the river at the bottom of the mountain.”
“I can’t remember.”
“Magician” Naomi says as the orb glows yellow light
The son of the village leader awakens a magician role. He proudly walks down the stairs as people cheer.
“Who is that?” Rin asks
“He’s Luca, the son of the village leader, he always bullies people because of his dad and because he’s a magician.”
The sun starts going down, it’s only Genki and Rin that haven’t gotten tested, some people have already left. Genki looks back at Rin and goes and touches the orb. The orb goes brighter and brighter and turns into a bright light purple.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
“Summoner.”
The surrounding people are shocked to see Genki get summoner, those lucky enough to get the 1/500 chance of summoner have more potential than the rest. A mysterious old man in the crowd smirks and walks away.
“What is your name, kid?” says Ms. Naomi
“Genki”
Genki was happy until he turned around and saw Rin. Knowing he just took the last spot, he felt a bit of guilt.
"I'm sorry Rin, we..we can still go next year."
"Alright, we now have the 3 people that are going to attend Shinseina Academy." The crowd lessens as people start to walk away.
"What about me, Ms?" Rin says.
"Well, there's no point in you trying unless you get an ability and want to challenge someone, unless you get an ability you will never be allowed to attend."
"Okay." Rin says while going up to touch the orb.
Rin slowly puts his hand on the orb. The moment he touches the orb, the memories of Lin rush to his brain.
Underneath the blazing sun in a grass field with spring trees next to the house, kid Lin is playing with his parents and falls over, his mom picks him up while his dad laughs.
It then darkens when Rin opens his eyes he sees Lin’s mom in a bed taking her last breath, in the same grassy field is now a grave, the rainy clouds and Lin’s tears soak up the dirt.
“I’ll be back soon.” Says Lin’s dad while leaving the house to sell crops at the market.
“I’m sorry dad.” Lin whispers as he is falling down from the cliff.
As the water splashes, the memories stop, Rin lets out a single tear while his hand tightly grips on the orb.
“Okay, you’re a magician, which makes you eligible to challenge one of the students.” Says the examiner.
Rin tiredly walks down from the stairs.
Genki goes up to Rin and says, “Challenge me.”
“Why?”
“It’d be too risky going against the other students, if you go against me, you would have a guaranteed spot.”
“I can’t go against you if there’s a chance we both can go.”
“Well, if you both really want to join together, there is another magician that was accepted. Since you're a magician as well, if you beat him, you will be able to take his place."
They go to an open field.
“Sir, you think you are going to beat him?” The brown hair asks
“Obviously, just because he awakens as a magician doesn’t mean he knows how to use it.” says Luca
“Get ready.” says Naomi
“The winner of this match will be enrolled, the battle starts now!”
“Rin be careful, Luca has already learned magic.”
Suddenly FOOSH, a fireball came at Rin
"Watch out!” Genki yells
Rin jumps to the left and barely dodges it. Just as Rin gets up, another but bigger fireball is already coming towards him. He tries to get away, but this time it hits his right arm. Rin tried to use magic, but only a small fuse of sparks went off.
Luca smirks and says, “You’re not going to win this Rin, I’m surprised you are even here today.”
Luca walks up to him, “Let’s just end this right here.” Luca starts to fuse a fireball in his palm and aims at Rin’s head. Rin puts his head down and….
