Endless Legacy: The False Wizard

Trial Examination

Well maybe he found out my name by reading the invitation he suddenly stole from me just now. It ticks me off so much the fact that little shit gouged out almost all my money. Well, he did become helpful for me somehow so I'll let that slide. I'll just hope I pass this entrance exam and don't cross paths with that guy again.

I decided to build up some courage to go to the gate entrance. And as I'm about to enter, the guard immediately stopped me.

"Hold on kiddo. Only nobles and royals are allowed to enter, but you don't seem to look like either one of them let alone dressed up like one. Which noble family do you belong from? And what's with that weird black marking covering your forehead along with your eyes?"

I felt intimidated as I'm confronted by a guard dressed in a fancy uniform. But my anxiousness rose when he suspected that I'm not a noble or a royal. However, I have this invitation with me that I can show the guard hoping I can enter. So I decided to reply confidently.

"Sorry, I don't belong to any noble family."

"Then too bad kid, you can't enter unless you are-"

I interrupted the guard by handing him the invitation letter. The guard was speechless after he saw the letter.

"Better not pull tricks on me kiddo or pay the consequences."

The guard takes the letter from him and opens it and takes a brief look at it. The guard is stunned as he recognizes the letter. He then goes to the person wearing a luxurious suit nearby. They talked for a moment before the guard went back to Markus and gave back his letter.

"You may enter."

The guard then steps out from his way allowing Markus to pass the gate.

What the hell was that? Things happened so quickly. Looks like this letter is quite something huh? I proceeded to enter the gate and as I finally got in, I was met by a young pretty guy with a fancy suit.

"Greetings participant, I'm an assistant of this academy.  Would you be kind enough to show me your letter?"

Without hesitation, I showed the letter to that guy.

"Then please pour as much mana as you can into that letter."

I nodded and tried channeling my mana into the letter. I was amazed as I succeeded.
Then the assistant touches the stamps on the letter. I didn't know why he did that but in an instant, a magic circle appeared on the ground around us. The assistant in front of me was shocked. And before I know it, we're at another place.

Markus was stunned as he was met with extravagant and luxurious surroundings. The assistant who had a hard time grasping the situation, was dumbfounded by the outcome.

This guy… who's neither a noble or a royal and possibly a peasant based on how he's dressed, managed to activate my teleportation spell successfully with his magical energy. A feat almost very few nobles and royals that are talented enough to activate my teleportation spell successfully without fail. To think that someone like him exists in this world…

"Sir, would you be kind enough to tell me your name?"

"Oh, my name is Markus."

"Sir Markus, may I see your letter again?"

"Sure, here you go."

After I handed the letter to him, I turned my attention back to my surroundings. Everything here keeps getting my attention and I couldn't help but feel amazed.

This magic stamp functions similarly to flames. Just like flames, these stamps will respond by changing into a certain color depending on how much mana was poured into the stamps. It will respond in different colors such as red, orange, yellow, cyan and blue. Red is the lowest while blue is the highest. Since this person Markus managed to accomplish something that many couldn't, his stamp color should be cyan or even possibly blue-
