Ch 22 - Exam Hall

Before we knew it the exam hall door had already opened and a man dressed in a black formal suit walked out of it.

He was dressed in a formal luxury black suit along with white gloves. In his chest pocket, there was a red flower that looked very strange. I have never seen this flower before. Over his right eye, he wore a monocle lens that was latched to his ear.

And right now this man was glaring at us with pure contempt.

"I just let you folks wait in the hallway for a few minutes and you guys already started making a racket. No decency or manners, what would you expect from the mere plebeians. You guys are here to have an examination and if you are even a bit literate, then you should know how one should behave." said the man in black.

What do we have here, another ass of a rail guard?
Although he just openly insulted us unlike those silent coldly staring rail guards at the station.

But this man looked a bit different from the rail guards we came across so far.
This guy was wearing that flower and that monocle glasses which made him stand out from the rest of the guards. Also, this man didn't seem to have the sword-like all the rest of the rail guards. Even the wagon manager had a cane but this guy was not armed in any way.

This man certainly must be an important figure in this wagon.

The man in the suit looked around the hallway.

Everyone in the hall fell silent despite being crowded to the brim.

The whole room suddenly fell silent after hearing the man's words.
Some lowered their heads while some glared back furiously at the man in black.

The guy in the black noticed those angry glares,

"It seems it would be better if I just fail every one of you in the mage ascension test. That would be for the best. Mages don't need people such as yourselves."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically who were present in this hallway. Those even hateful glares turned into a look of shock. The looks from hatred now turned into guilt and shock.

While everyone was silent and dumb, Trisha the leader of the girl's group stepped forward.

Trisha graciously bowed her head,

"I apologize on behalf of every participant here for creating such a nuisance. I agree that our behavior was uncalled for but the organizers of the ceremony train are equally guilty. The rail guard led all the 458 participants down here in this little cramped hallway which resulted in starting this big commotion. The girls are quite uncomfortable waiting here. And to make matter worse, some of the mischievous boys started acting like wild perverts. Hence why the big commotion occurred. I suppose the Ceremony train organizers in the future would be more careful and prevent such things."

The man in black glared at her,

"Huh? So you guys are now blaming us ceremony organizers for your uncivilized behavior? You really are getting on my nerves, girl. I think I should just declare every one of you as a failure as a mage, right here and now, and throw everyone overboard from this train at once."

Trisha suddenly lifted her head and stared back at him,
"I don't think failing us would sit well with the mage association. They won't like losing so many potential young mages for the kingdom, just because you feel like it. I hope that you keep that in mind."

The man in the black's eyebrows twitched,

"Oh is that a threat? Are you trying to threaten me, young lady?"

"That was no threat. I was just pointing it out for your own sake."

"You got one heck of a mouth for a mere plebeian. What is your name?"
