Chapter 2: The Magic Test Results
The next candidate was Einwell Magus, a member of the Gen Clan—one of the six most powerful clans in the world, renowned for producing a man among the Four Guardians, giving their lineage unmatched prestige.
The Five Strongest Clans:
Demons
Gods
Hybrids between Gods and Demons
Vampires
Bloodmen (hybrids of Vampires and Humans)
Einwell approached the Magic Sphere and began his test.
He wielded two types of magic: fire and wind.
After the evaluation, his rank was revealed: A.
Magic Ranks in the Academy
The ranks determined a mage's strength and influence:
S – The highest rank, granting opportunities to meet the King's commanders and even the King himself. Extremely powerful individuals might become successors to these leaders.
A – The second rank, allowing encounters with the King's commanders and the freedom to confront anyone without punishment from the academy.
D – Slightly weak; students cannot meet commanders but may meet soldiers. Fighting is allowed without school penalties.
E – Weak; students cannot act freely but serve as academy guards.
Z – The lowest; students are limited to secondary guard duties.
After Einwell finished, he glanced at Kazuya with a hint of sympathy, then stepped aside.
Next, it was a girl named Regina, a human. She placed her hand on the crystal.
She wielded three types of magic: earth, sand, and water.
Because she hadn't mastered her magic fully, she received a rank of A.
Finally, it was Kazuya's turn.
He approached the crystal with calm determination and placed his hand upon it.
The results shocked everyone.
Kazuya wielded five types of magic:
Time Manipulation
A hidden magic never seen before
Fire
Lava
Ice
The hall fell silent. Even Professor Fai and the academy director stared in disbelief.
Einwell's face turned red with fury.
The crystal announced Kazuya's rank: S.
Eight other students also achieved S-rank in magic, but Kazuya's abilities were unmatched in variety and potential.
He had passed the Magic Test.
Now… the next challenge awaited him: the Sword Test.
