Endless Legacy: The False Wizard

Prejudice

I could tell just by how they look at me and how they behave. As if they're plotting on something and it was more than enough for me to be vigilant around them and my surroundings.

"Care to explain this?"

"I was simply doing what I was told, Sir."

"Which is?"

"To guide participants to their exam."

"Do you seriously think that lower class people like him are fit to take the entrance exam in this prestigious academy? For you to assist that lower class?"

"There's no rule that was implied by the founder or the higher ups that lower class people aren't allowed to take exams here. Everyone who has received this invitation letter means they have been selected to take the entrance exam."

"Huh?! Don't tell me that peasant-"

As the proctor was about to finish his sentence, the assistant showed the letter in front of him. The proctor was shocked and in disbelief when he saw the letter.

"No way… There's no way someone like that lowly class-"

"Now, now, why won't you just give him his badge number to begin the entrance exam immediately instead of wasting your time yapping that vulgar mouth of yours? You're wasting time, you know?"

The proctor was shocked as the assistant said so in a polite manner, this made the proctor infuriated.

"Say what? You should know your place, you damn assistant."

The proctor grabbed the assistant's collar in an attempt of intimidating and asserting dominance towards the servant. This caused a scene among everyone. However, the assistant wasn't fazed at all.

"My my, scary aren't we? But, I wouldn't display such behavior if I were you whose position is in danger."

"W-what?"

The proctor was speechless when he heard that his position as a proctor is in danger.

"What are you on about? Trying to pull out a futile trick?"

The proctor intimidates the servant out of disbelief by clutching to the servant's collar.

"I see, looks like this won't do it."

The assistant decided to murmur something to the proctor that made the proctor shocked and anxious.

"If you want the higher-ups to reconsider this decision, then I suggest you prove yourself worthy of this position right now."

"Tsk"

The proctor was irritated as he was left with no option. He lets go of the assistant and takes the letter from the assistant. He then took the stamp from the letter for a quick examination. The proctor was shocked when he recognized the stamp.

"Royal stamp…? This has to be a joke… The color…why is it purple?"

"My, it's the reason why I gave you that. After he poured some of his magic power into the letter like I instructed him, the color of the stamp turned into that color. Since I've never seen such a color reaction before, it's your job as a proctor to identify it since you seem to have knowledge about it. That way, we can confirm if he meets your standards or not."

The proctor was annoyed by the assistant's reply, but he ignored it and continued examining the stamp while pondering about something.

The color of the stamps changes depending on how much magic power or mana was poured into it and reacts similarly to flames that change color depending on the heat. Red being the weakest while blue being the strongest. But there's no purple stamp that was ever recorded. In other words, this brat's feat is basically an anomaly to this academy's magic power system. That being said, the blue color is only the strongest in the academy's magic power system due to the fact that it's the highest recorded. In other words, there's another flame that's stronger than the blue flame making it the actual strongest.
