Magi Reincarnated

Three: "..."

(unedited)

A flame the size of a bull rampaged across the stage, tearing the air with its vicious roars and thunderous steps. In the blink of an eye, this flame arrived at its target which was a small frog merely levitating in mid air.

Many of the spectators held their breathes while some shot the frog a pitying look as this show escalated along with the beating of their hearts.

When everyone was sure the poor little frog was going to be flattened by this bullish flame, or to be more exact, disintegrated, something shocking happened.

Seconds before the flame hit its target, the frog suddenly opened its mouth wide, so wide that everyone could see the insides of its cavities and then, it swallowed the flame whole leaving not even a wisp of its existence. The frog gave a ribbet before it fell to the ground and disappeared into the hands of its owner whom was merely a small, pigtailed girl who looked haughtily at her surroundings.

"Hmph." The little girl snorted, her eyes boring into the teenage boy who was frozen in shock opposite her.

"Is this all you have to offer? With just this much, don't expect to become even an outer sect disciple of my burning sun sect, let alone an inner sect disciple. Next!" She yelled, dismissing the teenage boy who was already in tears from having been defeated by a little girl.

Little did he know, this little girl had lived longer than his mother's mother.

Silence had descended upon the crowd that had gathered and witnessed.

Many of these people were common folk who couldn't practice the truth (null) or simply didn't have the chance to in their lifetimes, and because they knew very little about the truth and its stages, they really couldn't believe what they had just seen, rubbing their eyes to see if the scene would change before them.

Some came to the conclusion that the main selection process to get into the Burning sun sect was no joke and tucked their kids, who were originally pumped to get tested, behind their backs feeling glad their little ones didn't have to go through this test.

Of course, this first stage was only held for those who were over the age limit of fourteen years old. If those over the age limit couldn't even use the truth to some degree, then there is no point in even considering taking them.

Five to fourteen year olds will be tested only once using a method where they simply have to place their hands in a basin of water. Obviously, this basin of water isn't normal and if you failed even this much, then don't even think of becoming a practitioner in your lifetime let alone a magi.

Meanwhile, blended within the crowd was a tall girl who had covered her entire face with a grey farmers shawl. It wasn't unusual to see people dressed like this and no-one saw it as suspicious. At least 1/5 people hid their identities one way or the other, equipped with their own reason's.

This girl was merely passing by, not as taken in by the show as everyone else.

Of course, this girl is silee.

After telling those robed figures she'll try out for the subsection earlier this morning, the robed figures had happily transported her to the selection ground after she had said her goodbyes to the old woman. Silee hated goodbyes, so she kept it short and told the old woman, "I'll do my best."

It took the three half an hour to arrive at the selection ground using the small transportation talisman stones every magi above Azure stage carried around. This way wasn't as fast as flying since you could only transport to certain distances at a time but it was still way more efficient than walking.
