The Golden Touch of Death

Schoolyard brawl

In the following 2 years, I had to master the art of conversation, train in proper etiquette from table manners to gestures and mannerisms, and perfect my knowledge of every influential figure in the kingdom and a handful out of it. My only joys have been my two sets of magic practice a week and getting to read another grimoire but only at the basic level.

Thankfully, I can finally go to magic school and begin mage studies though apparently, I'm quite a few years early. Everyone on campus is at least 7 though my training doesn't make look any smaller. In 1 year Sebastian has given me quite a healthy regiment.

" You must be Ethan Matthan. I am the guidance counselor Mr.Page, I'll lead you to our recommendation exam room." He starts leading me down a hall away from students. " The exam will be composed of 3 parts, magic knowledge, Skills/Skill use, and Mp because you're a mage. Although your parents spoke highly of you we must start you off at a basic level before we can see what you can do."

" Good morning William, and I see you have Mr.Matthan as well excellent. Now you few have special births and skill most here do not as to determine your worth in a more rigorous sense than normal we will test you. I am Headmaster Reigen and I will administer the first and last test. The first is a small written test of 50 questions." Of course and all they have are constructive response questions.

After that painstaking 30 minutes of what Samantha revisited yesterday, I was one of the first to leave the room. Next was the Skill test with the Disciplinarian. I mean the counselor looked like a laid back one from a high school and the headmaster looks like Dumbledore so I was more than surprised that she was a hot witch!

" Mr.Matthan I have been informed that you're a Cleric and can't attack so we will test your defense skills. Get ready <fire bolt>" it moved pretty fast but not as fast as Sebastian's swings. I block it entirely with a normal <blessed shield>.

" I can take more, let's go again."

" Well, they did say see what you got,<fire ball>."I did feel warn but that's it I didn't even get unbearably hot.

" Okay, little guy that was good what else you got."

" This spell does a counter attack you want to try it."

" <Mage Armor>,<Magic Resistance>. Go for it!" The spell easily ripped through her defense and made her clothes more 'revealing' to say the least though being only around kids not old enough to get it she congratulated me and simply left saying wait for an hour and then go see the Headmaster. I began to worry as they had a divinator screening stats and recorded.

" Mr.Matthan you've been doing splendid I can't wait to see your numbers."

" Actually, can I get screened last privately, I have things I want to discuss." At first, he looked set on no but had a change of mind. I sat to the side in his office as everyone past through. It seems he also evaluates your likelihood to stay. After an hour and a half, he called me back in.

" Now Mr.Matthan, I expect something great from you because of this hassle." He took my hand and began to look over my stats. He began gasping as he saw my intelligence and then utter shock at my mana.

" I wanted to talk about this with you, I would rather not stand out way too much so can you please record this as 1800 mp or 2000 mp. Those numbers are still somewhat reasonable that a Cleric of level 4 could have."

" I-I suppose I could your Cleric title doesn't seem to be active yet, I wonder why."

" Yes me as well!" 'Well god, got any answers.'

' You're not ready yet because your title isn't normal.'

" Maybe my title is special and requires a certain condition. I'm sure that my trial will reveal itself."
