Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System -
Chapter 51 The Admission Exam (Part 2)
Daimon had a weird expression on his face, the girl that was occupying the first place in the line not only ignored Alexander, but she asked him for his offer instead.
He extended his hand to offer a handshake.
"I offer not being a condescending arrogant asshole when talking to you, in exchange for you to give the first place to my sister Aisha", he said while pointing at his mother.
…
All the presents were speechless, but inside Erin's flying carriage, Aura who had a faint glow in her eyes suddenly smiled.
"As expected of my disciple… and lover", she said while nodding.
Erin laughed.
"So, you accept it now huh? something tells me that, the other students security wasn't the main reason as to why you don't want me to stay in the academy".
Outside the scene was quite different though, the members of the Revy and Argent families didn't say anything but... those who were allied to the Jolbaris on the other hand criticized him, not only because he indirectly insulted their young master but because he even mentioned that the first place wasn't for him.
"What kind of man doesn't strive for the glory of being recognized as the most outstanding".
"I bet he is just trying to flatter that girl with him".
And other comments of the like, were being directed at Daimon, but he didn't care about those nobodies, he just stood still there with his hand extended and his usual relaxed smile.
All the discussions stopped when they heard the girl laughing.
"Hahaha, what an interesting answer, very well I accept your offer "kid" from the Revy family", she said while her body dispersed in light particles.
The old man who interrupted them nodded.
"You can advance to the next point".
Daimon shook his head.
"My words from before were not empty, I don't give a damn about being the first or anything like that, but since many people does then I'm willing to give it as a gift for someone I care about".
Previously when the girl's body dispersed everyone could guess it was some kind of trial, so they were in awe wince Daimon passed it somehow, but not listening to his answer even the old man was speechless.
Something like this had no precedents, "someone who rejects the chance to be admired by others… what a weird young man", he thought, still his job was only to keep the order in the line so if that's what the one that passed the trial wanted then he had not choice but to accept.
When the old man was about to give way to Aisha, he received a message through his sigil lector, "let them both pass at the same time if you don't want to clean bathrooms for the rest of the year".
…
The old man mentally sighed, the academy is on the surface a place where connections don't have too much importance, but that only applies to those without a backing strong enough to not alter the rules… and Daimon was not included in that list.
"Knowing the principal, she is for sure going to make me clean the bathrooms, sigh, having a crazy boss is too stressful for an old man like me".
The old man didn't let his emotions show in his face, he instead put on a wise smile before saying.
"No need for that kid, you exceeded this old man's expectations and for that you shall be rewarded, both you and your sister can advance".
Then the old man turned to see the rest of aspiring students.
"Learn the lesson young mages and knights, in this world everything is possible, never underestimate someone just by how it looks!!!".
Seeing the convinced expressions in the youngsters waiting in the line, the old man nodded.
"That should be enough to fulfill the order of the principal".
Daimon directed a ridiculing gaze towards Alexander and walked with Aisha at his side towards the first tent.
Alexander clenched his fists but there was nothing he could do about it, since the prefect allowed them to advance first.
Once Daimon and Aisha entered the tent, they saw a veiled woman sitting cross legged in the middle of the room, the only thing in the room was a spheric magic device mounted in a little table in front of the woman.
"That old man has gotten soft over the years… whatever just place your hand on the orb of truth, the first test is to see if you are qualified to join the academy, if you are older than 30 years old and you aren't at least a one-star mage or knight then you fail".
Daimon took the initiative to take the test first, this orb of the truth was different than the one he used once for the first time in Erin's training room, over the years new functions were added, now besides your current realm it will also show your elemental affinity and age.
The orb illuminated for a couple of seconds and Daimon felt a wave of mana scanning his body, of course he prepared beforehand to only show what he wanted others to see and so the result shown by the orb was.
"13 years old, peak stage one-star mage, elemental affinity… darkness and lightning".
The woman was surprised, first the orb lagged a bit to show Daimon's affinity and second… while there are cases of people having more than one affinity, it is extremely rare to see two high level elements in one person, that's why Aisha who had metal and lightning affinity was considered on the top of the pyramid in terms of potential.
The veiled woman nodded.
"Pretty impressive kid, perhaps that's why that stubborn old man allowed two people to do the firs trial together for the first time in the history of the wild claw academy".
Daimon nodded and moved aside for Aisha to take the test, she placed her hand in the orb and got her result.
"22 years old, peak stage two-star mage, elemental affinity metal and lightning".
The instructor was a bit confused.
"Good result girl, but why don't you go to second grade directly? it won't take you too much time to reach the third star rank anyway, if you want, I can give you a recommendation since you also have dual affinity and both are rare elements just like your brother".
Aisha shook her head.
"No thanks, I want to be in the same class as Daimon, but I appreciate the offer".
The instructor sighed.
"What a weird pair of siblings", she thought, before saying.
"No worries, you two approved, advance to the next tent for the second test, I will wish you the best of the luck".
Now that they got what they needed, Daimon and Aisha left the tent.
Without them knowing the woman was smiling behind her veil.
"Seems like this year is going to be full of interesting things", she mumbled before sending a message through her sigil lector.
The old man which was supervising the line outside, saw a one message word "next", he then told Alexander to enter the first test to continue with the process.
Daimon and Aisha who left by the back door of the tent walked towards the next one, this time what was waiting inside was a middle-aged man with a full body armor.
"Welcome to the second test, you have thirty seconds to attack me, if you manage to make me take at least one step backwards you pass, of course I won't move nor retaliate… if you specialize in theory or you don't have an attack-oriented spell then wait outside and someone will take you to another instructor".
Aisha smiled.
"Let me take the first turn this time… Daimon".
Daimon nodded and Aisha pointed at the instructor with two fingers from her left hand, sparks of electricity gathered on the tip of her fingers before a small ball of electricity was shot from them.
The instructor shook his head, he simply rose his arm to block the attack but contrary to what he expected once the ball was a couple of centimeters away from his body it expanded and exploded.
His body was sent flying almost 1 meter away from his original position, although there was no wound nor any damage done to his armor, it was clear that the instructor was surprised.
"Little girl… how do call that spell? At first, I thought it was just a low level "lightning bolt", but damn I nearly lost my eyebrows thanks to the explosion caused by it".
Aisha moved aside for Daimon to take over but she still answered.
"It's called "Eins", it means "impact".
The instructor nodded.
"Nice name, you pass, your turn kid", he said while looking at Daimon.
Daimon smiled, he pointed two fingers from his right hand at the instructor as if he was copying Aisha's pose, of course this time the instructor prepared properly but what he expected didn't happen.
Instead, the instructor jumped before tons of spears made out of dark element appeared from the ground, he landed a couple of meters away from where he was standing before.
"A bit of a cheat but you also pass… go to the next test you two".
Once they left, the instructor collapsed in the ground.
"What the hell was that!!! I was going to block those weird spears with my body but… I actually felt a light sense of danger from them, what kind of monsters has raised the matriarch of the Revy clan", he thought.
