Rise of the Twelve Star Mage

Chapter 40: Two Rings: Two Flowers

In the headmaster's room at Aurora Saint Academy

The globe of the center of the room is covered by the broadcast of the Magus Exam with the student council, 1 Federation Captain, and their lieutenant, the three homeroom teachers of the first years, and a couple of staff members of Aurora Saint Academy

"1 kilometer should be enough for the students to roam around" Alfred speaks as he watches the second exam stage go on.

By his side, three accompany him.

"Headmaster are you able to see the broadcasts alright?" a young male's voice speaks.

"Yes, the visuals are very clear. How many animals did you have to rally up to do this Colt?"

Headmaster Alfred turns to his right and speaks to a young man with soft blonde faux cut hair, with tapered sides that have a line on the left side of his head, blue eyes, wearing the Aurora Saint Academy uniform, wearing a small claw mark necklace, with his 3rd year pin near the collar of his uniform. Colt Lyon is one of the Trifecta Three Third Years at Aurora Saint Academy.

"Well, I have around 100 animals in the forest each of which covers the sky, land, and sea. They cover all areas of the exam so we'll see everything that is happening"

"Well done thank you. Have you the other two thought of what you're going to do after you graduate." "Hmm not too sure about the other two but I was thinking of becoming a facility member here at the academy and teaching magical beasts and animals"

"Yes, that would be a perfect idea" Colt then takes a seat along with the student council members.

Alfred turns to his side. "Kazarian thank you again for helping me set up this barrier once again"

Kazarian sits on one of Alfred's chairs behind him "Of course, especially with that infiltration event we must keep this safe. I am surprised you didn't call it off this year Alfred" Professor Kayneth speaks as he fixes his monocle and adjusts his body moving around his staff.

"You worry too much Kazarian these students should be fine. The students this year have more potential than any of the years before" Randall Deximar speaks in his messy and paint-filled attire.

"My goodness Randall at least fix yourself up" looks at his fellow professor in disgust.

"Haha it's alright Kazarian"

Randall shrugs his shoulders "Can't help it I love my art. Oops almost dropped my glasses again" as he looks upon the broadcast of the exam.

Back in the Greater Forest of Aiz

"You heard that Lily has quite a ton of rules," Bella says.

"Yeah, at least they gave us this care package" Lily responds opening up and unpackaging the items. "Let's see here a rope, snacks, water, compass, all the basic necessities that we need Bella"

"All right I'll carry them" Bella carries the care package on her shoulders as they continue to walk towards the center.

"Do you think Rose and the others are following the plan?" Lily asks.

"I believe so Rose told us before to meet towards the center of the map," Bella responds as they walk quietly through the forest.

"Speaking of a plan. What happened while we were taking the tests? Your magic seemed to have worked."

"Am not too sure it's as if my magic was copied and shot back at us but way stronger. But it felt like it got negated as well."

"Well, we know Issac can't do that since he's just an illusion magic specialist. We dont know of anyone else with that kind of ability"
