Chapter 2: Chapter 2

"Huh?" Arion seemed confused about what the girl was shouting about "You never see magic like that, before?"

She immediately walked toward him, in front of his face, she said "WHERE IS YOUR VERSE? WHERE IS YOUR CIRCLE? AND WHERE IS YOUR DRAW?"

"Verse??? Ah!! You mean chanting…you are great too…let's see…what magic you did earlier…Sto ónoma tou theoú tis fotiás, it means in the name of fire god or something like that, and in other verse, is your offering to the god…and your circle is–"

"I KNOW MY OWN SPELL" her face became closer to his face "YOU DON'T NEED TO MANSPLAIN TO ME.."

Immediately Arion raised his hand, and pushed her face away from his, and made the girl more angrier.

"HOW DARE YOU, PUT YOUR HAND TO MY FACE!!"

The situation made a scene between Arion and the girl..

"Shhhh!! Can you lower your voice??? So what makes you angry?"

"YOU! That makes me angry…"

"ME???? Are you serious??? Perhaps you know me?"

"No, I don't know you, perhaps you do know me?"

"No, I don't know you…so it's settled then, we don't know each other…" Arion tried to walk away "So enjoy the rest of your day.."

Before he took two steps from her, the girl quickly grabbed his clothes, and said "where are you going?"

"*sigh*" Arion took a deep breath, and asked "So what's this girl want to ask or do with me?"

"What was that? Is that your magic?"

"Sort of.."

"Where's your verse?"

"I don't use it.."

"Where's your circle?"

"I don't use it…"

"Where's your drawing?"

"If I don't use the circle, of course I don't draw…"

"So what's your magic??"

"I can't tell you…"

"WHY?"

"Is it the purpose of you, and all of the participants here , to enroll in this academy?"

"What do you mean?"

"To find out what you think is unknown to become known, if I tell you right now about my spell or my magic and how it works, surely you don't need to enroll in this academy…After you got passed, surely you can search everything and learn everything, and try to find out what is my magic…" Arion tried to walk away once again, and said "SO GOOD LUCK!!"...

He went to the supervisor and asked "So what happened next? Is it free time after this?"

The supervisor just said "Yes, if you have shown your skill, you can wait anytime and it's free time for you, while waiting for the announcement on the board ... .you surely know about this right?"

"Ha ha ha, of course I already know.."

Again, the girl kept nagging him, and asked "Why you two know each other?"

Arion looked at her, after that looked at the supervisor and pointed at him, "Him? And me? I think it's more than 5 years, I've known him.."

"So you two are close to each other?"

The supervisor said "No, we are not…"

"And why you ask me and him about it? Is there any reason you ask us?" Arion asked her.

"Yes, I just find it weird, a participant close with the supervisor, it makes me think maybe the supervisor did something to you.."

"Did something to me?"

"Yeah, you're the first one to finish the written exam, break all the records for the physical exam, and now, you use a spell that I don't know."

Arion was trying to hold the laugh after hearing that from her,

"Don't laugh! This is not a laughing matter.."

"Hear me, girl…if you don't know something in your comprehension, don't quickly judge or make it same with your comprehension, if you don't know my magic, so it doesn't mean I work together with him, because you don't know my magic…and now, look at you, you just disturb the magic test, because your assumption of me, there is some participants to take a turn for test their magic…."

"So why you know him?"

"Because I met him in this test, for 5 years.."

The girl was confused, "what you mean by meeting him in this test?"

"I met him when I took this test, for 5 years.."

"Wait wait wait…you took this test for 5 years, does it mean you fail for 5 years?"

"Sort off.."

"And how old are you?"

"How old am I? Hmmmmmmm I'm 22 years old this year.."

Everyone in there was surprised and shocked..

"Yo…u…you…you…are 22 years old…and still…register to enroll in this academy…"

"Is there something wrong with that?"

"Of course there is, why does a 22 years old man need to enroll in an academy?"

"To search for knowledge?"

"First of all, you are too old for this academy, all of the participants here are sixteen to seventeen years old, and you are 22 years old, that's a big gap between us.."

Someone in the crowd said "I am 18 years old.."

"Huh??" the girl turned at the voice..

"Look at that, someone in here is 18 years old.." Arion said and pointed at the voice.

"Forget that person, anyway the average age for the fresh students is 16 to 17 years old, not 22 years old."

"Well, the rules just say the minimum age, and there is no maximum age, so I can apply to enroll in this academy....I don't mind talking with you, but it is just a waste of time if you think in your comprehension…and your talking disturb the test, so I will take a leave from here….May we got accept together." Arion left from there.

"Wait!!"

And the test continued, until the last participant.

Arion was waiting at the front gate of the academy, he was sitting at the bench there…He was waiting until someone put the announcement of the enrollment to the announcement board..But, his waiting was felt disturbing by someone who kept staring at him, like he had been watched by someone..He turned around and took a look around him, if there was someone. Yet, he didn't find anything..

A few hours passed by, and finally someone put the announcement on the board. In a second, people were swarming around it..Arion tried to take a look at it, but he couldn't see anything..So he tried to jump high behind the crowd..In a merely second of his jumping, he could see at the bottom of the announcement….It was his name, at the bottom.

"HOOORAAAYYYYYY" He shouted it loud while jumping, he landed, and said to himself "Now let tell the other about this…that Baric will find it disbelief…" He walked out from there.

Meanwhile,

"Is this enough??"

"Surely it's enough…you make him pass, even though he is at the bottom with all his achievements on the tests..."

"Well, we can't make him at the top, because of the ethical code.."

"Yeah..yeah…yeah… I know…boring ethical code…"

"Do you think the others will let this happen??"

"The others??? Don't make me laugh, what they did is nothing, instead they are just sitting around.."

"What will happen with this place if they are coming in here? Surely, you will be in here, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha, no I will not…but…you have someone to do that…..Now, I will excuse myself…hope you teach him well…wait a second…your teaching will be worthless to him….so it's better you find someone or something to teach at him…Bye!!"

"WAIT!!....*sigh* what type of person makes her do that so much…single name…no family's name…too old for the academy...huhhhhh…"

..

On the way to the tavern, Arion felt someone following him…he turned around, and found two men just standing, but he didn't find them suspicious, because the stare was not from them..He continued walking, in next minutes, the staring came back at him, he turned around again..Found the two men just standing around…He decided to ignore them and the staring at him.

…Arion stopped for a second in front of the tavern, and he opened the door..He found Baric at the counter, and Mary took an order from the customers..Baric and Mary found disbelief that Arion came back.

"OH ARION, You back..I thought you would not come back again." Mary said.

"What you mean by that?" Arion answered.

"Ah! You know…*erghhh* you know.."

"I am not dying…" Arion walked to the counter..

Baric said "Look who's back.."

"I AM BACK, with something that makes you disbelieve.."

"What is that?"

"I GOT ACCEPTED.." Arion said loudly, so all the people in the tavern could hear it.

The people were confused, Baric asked "Accepted what?"

"Huh *sigh* ACCEPTED TO THE ACADEMY…" again he said loudly.

The tavern went silent for a second….and started to laugh at him..

"Yo Arion…are you that desperate? Start to spread a lie like that.." One person in the tavern said..

"Let him be in his imagination.." Another person said.

….

"BET!!" Arion said loudly..

"Okay I bet, 5 silver coins.."

"I am 3 silver coins.."

"I am 2…" and a lot of people started to bet..

...

…..

….

..

.

"Crapp!! You are not lying, Arion.."

Arion brought all the people in the tavern to the front of the announcement board…to find his name at the bottom of the list…People around the board were confused by the people of the tavern's people.

In front of them, Arion said loudly "YOU IDIOT PEOPLE!!" The tavern's people focused on him "NOW, PAY YOUR BET…"

The people started to line up in front of Arion, and started to pay their bet to him…one by one the tavern's people paid him…After everyone had paid him.

Baric walked beside Arion, and said loudly "LISTEN EVERYONE!!" The people started to get him attention after got bumped for losing the bet… "THIS IS A HISTORY OF OUR ETHICAL CODE…ARION WHO TRIED TO ENROLL THE ACADEMY FOR 6 YEARS, NOW HE OFFICIALLY ENROLL AT IT….ALL THE DRINKS WILL BE IN THE HOUSE TO CELEBRATE THIS DAY….NOW LET'S GO BACK TO THE TAVERN, AND CELEBRATE IT.."

All the people shout loudly "YEAHHHHHHHH"

Suddenly someone said "CAN YOU GUYS NOT MAKE FUSS IN HERE?"

Everyone turned their face to the voice, it was the officer of the academy..

Baric immediately apologized to him..

When they arrived at the tavern, everyone started to drink, and celebrate for Arion until morning.
