Chapter 11: Seraphium Royal Academy
Almost two years have passed since Selina studies under her Uncle, Leo Zodiva to become an alchemist in the Calamus Republic. In addition to studying to become an alchemist, Selina also studied and trained her body to become a knight at Blue Lyre. A nice and cool receptionist sister, Yulia Katinaf sent Selina all the materials regarding the work of a knight at Blue Lyre so that she could better prepare herself for professional exams. And at last, it is time for Selina to study at Seraphium Royal Academy.
'Seraphium Royal Academy,' even if the name of the school has the word 'Royal' in it, it was a public school for everyone, both nobles, and ordinary people. They attached 'Royal' because this school gives scholarships to the poor from the Royal family's savings and not from the national treasury. After all, the now reigning King wants nobles and ordinary people to socialize better through the top school in the Seraphium Kingdom, Seraphium Royal Academy. Also, this school only allowed living in school, or dorm system for the second year and up until they're seventeen and took the professional exams.
The first term began on 1st September so Selina already can attend the school after all her birthday was on 28th August and maybe she will become the youngest of her class. Only children who already become six years old when the term begins can attend the Academy. As in that one year, they will be taught how to control mana, how mana works in conjuring elements, how the conjured elements shaped itself to what the caster imagined, etcetera.
But before all that, what Selina must do is going to Seraphium Royal Academy for registration. So exactly on 28th August which is Selina's birthday, two days before the end of registration Selina and her father come to Seraphium Royal Academy. The school was so big Selina's mouth opened in agape.
The walls are painted white with a white marble floor. Selina can only describe it as majestic. Four other buildings encircled the white majestic building, colored red, green, copper brown, and blue. Each has a different color of walls but still has gold accent color to them.
The four buildings are the dorms in Seraphium Royal Academy for the student of the second year and up after they have their Signum Ceremony. The buildings each have walls in color associated with Four Basic Elements' spirits that born from God of Darkness and Goddess of Light, according to the official religion of Seraphium Kingdom. The official religion of the Seraphium Kingdom is named Stoicheía or Elements in Runes language.
The red building is Salamander dorm for people with an affinity to the Fire element. Salamander dorm's walls are colored red and gold accents while also have the emblem with a creature that resembles a red dragon without wings. The green building is Sylph dorm for people with an affinity to the Wind element. The dorm has an emblem of a creature that resembles a female human with butterfly wings.
For the copper brown building, it is the Gnome dorm for people with an affinity to the Earth element. They have an emblem of a small humanoid creature wearing a pointed hat and holding a hammer. Lastly, the blue building is for people with an affinity for Water element. It is named Undine dorm with the emblem of a beautiful female surrounded by water.

In the place of registration for the new term, there are two lines of people, a long one and while the other one is visibly shorter. The long line is the line for the commoner as the people who are in the lines wearing commoner clothes. While on the other line, the people wearing clothes with velvet, lace, frills, ribbon, and other expensive accessories. Even some people wear fully clothed ones that are enchanted to be cool as this is still in the summer season.
Selina stares at the long line and sighed since it can't be avoided. The registration came with a little test to know the amount of mana that the child they registered for have. There is a tool for measuring that.
'Must be made by Finia Lelielle the alchemist from the elf country, Forestaria Allied Federation,' thought Selina.
Not long after it was Selina's turn for registration. This time she can see clearly the device that is used to measure people's amount of mana. It was in the shape of a ball reinforced by wood, likely ironwood, or golden flowered salwood as they have a reputation for hardness and specifically density that is over 1000 kg/m3 and sinks in water. The color of the wood is also light brown which made Selina's speculation truer.
"Next, please. Name?" The one who asked is a woman in her thirties, likely she is one of the employees in Seraphium Royal Academy. She is wearing a uniform that consists of a dark blue long dress and a cape covering her chest.
"Selina Hua," answered Zhihao, Selina's father.
"Birthday?"
"28th August."
*Ping*
After hearing the date of Selina's birthday the brick-like object in the color of black light up in green color.
'Another magic device by Finia Lelielle.'
Selina thinks it is another one of Finia Lelielle known by the name of 'truth stone' though it looks more like a brick. It is a magic device to track if the person it was pointed to speak the truth. If the person speaks lies, the truth stone will light up in red color.
"Hello Selina, my name is Emily. Can you put your hand on top of this device to measuring your mana amount?" asked the employee.
Selina nodded while smiling broadly, and put her hand on top of the device. The device immediately fully light up in white and Emily smiled at Selina.
"A class mana amo-"
Not even completed her sentence, the device's light turned red then almost exploded if not for the fast reaction of Zhihao who released Selina's hand from the device.
