The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Chapter 3: Magic Power Measurement (2)

༺ Mana Evaluation (2) ༻

Students began emerging from each provisional class and formed a line for each group. After getting into their proper positions, they gripped their mana meter and let their mana flow in an empty direction.

All of them emitted an elemental aura with respect to their individual attributes. After being used, that aura would end up leaving something known as a 'Mana Trail'. It was evidence that proved whether or not magic of a specific elemental attribute had been used.

In addition to elemental types and mana capacity, this mana evaluation also contained an additional hidden evaluation factor that tested students for their ability in something known as the 'Mana Control'. When mana is channelled, traces of magic could end up remaining as well. Even more so with powerful individuals that possessed greater mana.

In other words, what if, after having finished the evaluation of one's total mana capacity, that person obtained a high grade for their result, but there was a lack of a magic aura?

It meant that the person in question would end up receiving a very good score for their mana control, which would be added onto their class placement evaluation score.

After each person belonging to the first group of students finally finished their mana evaluation, Professor Fernando lifted the mana meters into the air using telekinesis magic, lined them up, and began to read each grade aloud.

"...Provisional 3rd Class. 1st, Grade C-. 2nd, Grade C+. 3rd, Grade C-. 4th, Grade C+. 5th, Grade C."

Of course, there wouldn't any extra points for these guys. Even with that amount of mana, aura still ended up being released.

"Next!"

With that said and done, the mana evaluation continued on.

Meanwhile.

Haaaaaah-!

"Oh my, I couldn't control my dense, thick, limitless mana..."

The conceited noble, Tristan Humphrey, shook his head in an exaggerated motion as he cast his overwhelming wind magic. When said with such a confident face, it sounded more like a theatrical line than a serious statement.

In the aftermath of his wind magic, both the hair and uniforms of the professors and students alike had been violently shaken. Some of the girls let out a grunt as they patted their hair neatly. Professor Fernando, on the other hand, remained as expressionless as ever.

Tristan Humphrey's mana ended up being a Grade B-. At that level, he was already at the top level of the students belonging to the Magic Department. His cocky demeanor wasn't an empty bluff after all.

Of course, his mana control in particular was a negative score.

Mateo Jordana, who was an early villain in the game, also came out with a Grade B-. Only a bit of his rock elemental aura was released, which was worth a couple of extra points.

Next up was this year's first seat, Luce Eltania, along with the second seat, Kaya Astrean.

The noisy audience suddenly became quiet as the two girls overflowing with elegance made their entrance. It was to the point where even the air started to feel heavy from their aura. The students' attention were focused entirely on them.

"Woah."

I exclaimed that unconsciously. It was because Luce was much more beautiful in person than in the game.

Wide strings could be seen flowing down each side of her silky rose-gold hair. She was wearing a unique headband that had been designed with a morpho butterfly in mind, with a deep blue color reflected within its intense black border.
