Chapter 4: Unusual ll
"Upper C class, that's another upper C class"
"That is my son, haha haha, my son is going to grow and become a legend"
" Wow, I am really happy for you, sigh, how I wish my daughter had an Upper C class rank, how great would that have been. But she had an Upper D class rank, tsk tsk. I say, my friend, what do you think about a marriage proposal, my daughter is very beautiful and mature, it will be a great match, huh?"
" Hehehe, Oh my son is still very young, and I'm really sure he has eyes for a girl already"
"Sigh, what a pity, but in case he take his eyes off, remember my proposal still stand"
"oh yes yes yes , what are friends for?"
' Humph, my son and that trash daughter of yours. Dream on '

Evaluation: Mid C class
"Yes, yes this big daddy did it , mid C class, hoho, just wait for Andre Biggerton, I'm coming Realmsgate Academy." Andre said exictedly as he half run, half walk away from the stage
"Hmmm, I think it is high time we up our little game or what do you think, Randolph?" the black robed Regan said to her companion with a playful giggle.
"Do as you see fit"
"Then let the fun begin" she said as she headed for the first room.
"Oh look another person is going to take the test"
"I wonder what her final evaluation will be"
"Probably Lower C class."
"Nope I don't think so, I think she has a chance to have an Upper C class"
"Why is that?"
"When you look very closely, you can see that from her gait she is quite confident"
"That's all?, and here I thought you were a practical man, but you based you reason on the butt of a woman"
"Watch your tongue, man!"
...
As she entered the first section, her details were displayed
Name : Regan Lear
Age : 18
Origin : Dakota
Looking at the battle drum at the top of the stairs emitting those threatening and bloodthirsty aura capable of eroding a person sanity, she was not in the least scared at all, in fact she was exuding an aura of sheer unbridledness, under the assault of that fearsome aura, she was undergoing a baptism of a kind, and she started taking the steps, and with every increment in the density of the opposing aura, her spirit of being unrestrained soared not lessening a bit at all.
"Oh look she's already at the fifth step in that short moment, she must have a strong will power and physical strength"
"That's right she truly has the chance at Upper C class, I guess"
"Oh the sixth one already and w - what the seventh!"
"Oh my gosh, she reached the seventh that's the furthest any one has gone yet."
"Yes we all know that the difficulty of the test is always greater at the multiple of three. To scale from the third to the fourth and sixth to seventh and so on is very, very difficult."
"T - Th - That is the e - eighth. She reached the eighth and it doesn't seem like she is going to stop"
"What! eighth and still moving. Monster truly a monster"
_Back in the first section_
"Hmm, quite challenging" Regan said as she looked at the battle drum," but if you want to stop me you will be needing more than this petty pressure."
And afterwards, she lifted her leg and took the ninth step. And suddenly like a billowing sea the pressure came ragingly crashing at her.
"Oh my goodness. The ninth. She - She made it to the ninth step!"
"Who is she?"
"I think her name is Regan something"
"I know! I mean where did she popped up from, She is definitely not a noble."
"Yeah, she is from Dakota and we all know that Dakota is a Chaotic zone that might be the reason for her strong will power"
"I can assure that my whole generations has been living in Dakota but none of us has such sheer power and talent. She's just a monster."
"Oh look look she is trying to take the tenth step"
"My son must marry her!!"
"But I thought you said he's young and has eyes for someone else"
"What? I will personally pluck out that bastard eyes if he dare disobey me. And who said he's young?"
' Despicable, a toad lusting after the flesh of a swan, humph! '
Exhale. Exhale. "I can do it" Regan muttered to herself as she took the tenth step. Success!
She breathed to stabilize herself then after sometime, she tried the eleventh step. And after an intense battle of will, she reached the eleventh step.
Two more, Just two more and she can bang the drum but can she? The whole hall had quieted down, with everyone watching, anticipating what is to happen. Well, not everyone literally, for there is the other black robed figure, still hooded, watching the event unfold with a calm countenance as if all was within his expectation, and the girl with a blond-brown hair, Megan, who was constantly searching the crowd for someone, and there also Almond, who stood in between two other boys, calmly watching and lastly Richard who had an indifferent look showing his complete lack of interest.
After stabilizing herself, with great difficulty, she attempted the twelfth step. And no sooner had she set her feet on it than was met with a ferocious aura many times stronger than those she had been dealt with. And as a result she was blasted off the stairs but was able to avoid crashing violently. But not after suffering some internal injuries, as blood leaked from the corner of her lips.
"Awesomely fierce!" Regan commented" Like it." She added as she left the room for the next.
"Phew! The twelfth step. She AWESOME"
"Ahhh, she got six light just from the first trial already. It seems like I underestimated you gaitman."
"No, we underestimated her"
At the second room, Regan ravenously absorbed the Mana and used it to heal herself while restoring her state to its peak. And left shortly after.
"That's another six lights. What evaluation do you think she'll have"
"The legendary A class."
' Gulp '
At the third room, she sat cross-legged, staring at the painting, more specifically at the spinning pink lotus. And after a moment, she was shrouded in a white light. And after sometime, it turned red,
then orange, then yellow. And it paused.
"It stopped at yellow already but why is my instinct telling that's not the end"
"yeah"
The yellow shrouding light quivered a little and then it changed to green, then Blue. And then it stopped. Five light change.

Age : 18
Origin: Dakota
Status: Admitted
Evaluation: Lower A class.
"I I got to see an A class mage with my eyes.
The legendary A class."
"I vow to always wear hoods till the day I die"
After leaving the room she returned to Randolph side, with thousands of eyes following her.
"So how was it? my performance."
"hmm, great."
...
"That was surprising. I have to say I wasn't expecting that, Agnes"
"That was just the start. A call to all the crouching tigers"
...
Next, Megan went on stage and enter the first room.
Name: Megan Smith
Age: 16
Origin: Fegnar
And then, without much ado, she took her first step while looking very calm in the face of the opposing aura. And with a steady gait she continued taking the steps.
Second.. , Third..., Fourth., Fifth.., sixth...,
"She reached the sixth already, and I'm betting she going to reach the eighth at least."
"Scoff, you think everyone is a freak."
... Seventh
Huuu', exhale, Huuu'
... Eighth
Huuu',exhale , Huuu', exhale Huuu'
...Ninth.
"Wow I think everyone is becoming freaky - deaky"
And summoning all her strength, she took the tenth step. But not long after, she was blasted off.
"Huu, ten steps. That's five lights"
"she's also a freak"
In the second room, she continuously absorbed Mana and after returning to her peak state, she left the room for the other.
"Six lights, whoa she's really talented"
At the third room, she sat cross-legged and meditate on the painting and sooner enough she was shrouded with white light which turned red, then orange, and then yellow and without pausing green, then Blue and after sometime the blue glow shone brightly and then turn purple.
"This year's event is really surprising, to think that there's someone with a perfect insight. Just really surprising."

Sighing to himself, Richard proceeded to the first section.
Name: Richard Roe
Age 16
Origin: Unknown
"Isn't that the boy we met earlier?" Regan asked.
"Yes he is" Randolph confirmed.
"He really is mysterious, weird name, unknown origin, really interesting"
_First room_
Feeling the tyrannical pressure weighing on him, Richard gritted his teeth and took the first step.
BOOM!!
He could feel the pressure becoming overbearing and his feeble body being drained of strength.
Fighting against the pressure while sweating profusely he gathered all his strength to his limbs, and attempted the second step.
BOOM! BOOM!
Shuddering, he tried to stand upright but his body can't, it just can't.
And then Crash! He had failed.
One step.
"Hahaha, you've got to be kidding me, there someone this worse. Trash!!"
"Pfft, even a five year old can take three steps"
"Trash!!"
...
"Wow didn't see that coming, he is mysteriously bad!" Regan commented, while Randolph kept his silence with a slight frown.
...
Catching his breath, Richard slightly shook his head and although he heard some of those comments he didn't bothered to consider them.
_Second room_
He stood in the room and after a short moment of time he couldn't feel the energy passing into his body any more.
Sighing he left the room.
"One light Just one light he has no future
tsk tsk . what a poor soul"
"I can bet my daughter on the fact that he won't have more than an orange in the third room"
"FATHER!!!"
_Third room_
He sat in front of the painting, regulating his breathing, and soon he let go of everything and to him there's no other thing except himself and the painting in front of him. He could feel the lotus, its intent and essence, he could feel it trying to show him a new world, he slowly closed his eyes as the painting imprint himself into his mind. And soon enough he was shrouded with white light and then it turned red, then orange.
"Orange hahaha, I told you-"
"Y - yellow!"
"Yellow? so what he's still a trash, that's probably the best he can do."
"Cough cough, ummm you should have a look"
"Greeeeeen!!, what? THAT'S IT THAT MUST BE IT, his luck has definitely finished. Defini-"
"Blue!, LOOK it is already blue"
Silence
Basking in the light, Richard completely oblivious to the ruckus his achievement had cause, he was fascinated by the lotus's nature, its complexities, he felt like he could feel its subtle breath, like it almost and right there he felt his breath seize, his heart rate slowed down, and his whole body felt lighter and every cell of his blood, pulses with a frequency with matches the lotus's breath. He felt awaken or more specifically something within him is awakening.
"Look it's purple. Purple Oh my God that's is purple."
"What that's not all. It is changing"
"What?"
"Yes look closely, it's turning pink"
"A seventh colour change"
"What the heck in the world is happening?"
Yes that was exactly the same question which was in the heart of everyone present.
What the heck in the world is happening?
How is a trash doing this?
What an Unusual trash!
