The examiner could no longer take it; there had to be something wrong with Silva. He needed to go to the director. But he had to wait until the time was up, and when it was, only a thousand and three hundred had made it through and would go to the next round. The examiner asked them all to wait while he ran to the director's office. He got there and knocked on the door. Without waiting for an answer, he opened it and went in. The director, Matilda, sat on her chair as if she had been waiting for him, and when he came in, she spoke. "I knew you would come, Elias," she said. "Director, do you already know what's happening?" he asked. "Well, I can watch the exams from here, and also, I already knew that he would be part of the exam," she responded. "Who is he? Is he really fourteen?" he asked. "He is thirteen, one of the younger people to enroll," she dropped a bombshell on Elias. "In actuality, the exams are nothing for him. It's barely a formality, to show the others what they would be facing as competition," she said. "How come? I'm still not understanding this," Elias said. "Haven't you heard the story going around about a B-ranked child, one who is the strongest adventurer of his town?" she asked. "Oh, I have heard of that. I always dismissed it as an exaggerated story. Are you telling me that it's true and that boy is the one?" he asked. "Actually, that story is underestimated. I have done my best to watch that child closely. His strength is at the very least much higher than what people say. I believe he should be above level fifty by now, maybe far higher, and he also has a legacy, and I am sure it is an A-rank legacy," Matilda explained. "That boy is a commoner, yet he has all this? Is there a need for him to take the test? It may weaken the morale of those around," Elias said. The next exam was a combat-type test, where students would fight against their upperclassmen in the third year. They got into the arena and saw over a hundred upperclassmen waiting for them with their weapons and staves. The examiner stood in front of the candidates and started explaining. "For this exam, you have to face off against a third-year student and run the clock out to win. You can also win by defeating them if you have the abilities. Each person gets two minutes. It may look small, but remember that those you are fighting are stronger than you and have more tricks than you. They can take you out in ways you have never known, and that would be considered a fail. As for the way you'll be entering, I have this." He pulled out a box and placed it on the ground. "Pick a paper from inside. It will randomly assign your number," Elias explained. Everyone went over and picked their number. Silva got number 300, Fay got 79, and as for Lia, she got first. "Is that good luck or bad luck?" Fay asked. "I guess we will find out," Silva said. Lia walked to the stage with her staff. She waited for the third-year student who would battle her. The third-year got on the stage. She was a girl, she looked a bit older than Lia, but not by much. She held a wand, which meant she was mostly a mage. The examiner climbed the stage as a referee. He raised his hand and brought it down to signal the start. Immediately, the third-year waved her wand and cast a spell. "Flaming Turret Wave," she called out, hurling over thirty fireballs at Lia. "She wants to end this quickly," Silva, who was watching, said.
