The teacher was surrounded by the girls as she explained the function of the robes and about the entrance evaluation test. "But after going through my training , you two will be admitted into school for sure and then we can go mark your clothes with the academy emblem!" Kathrina kept their robe in her spatial ring and to hold Nodus from behind. "Nodus , why didn't you take the robe or the wand?" Feeling the weight , the young man slowly turned his unemotional face at her and said." Because I am wearing one already." Knowing that the robe didn't matter as much as the effects and functions from the robe itself , Nodus did not bother wearing something else other than his own clothes. The teacher was confused and stared at his uniform as she took a step back. "Z1 , change shape to mage robe." With a flash of light on his wristwatch , Nodus took out his outfit as a thick black liquid covered his entire body , the liquid slowly harden and formed the shape of the magician robe that they saw in the store. The young man had a pointy black hat and a pitch black uniform with golden linens. The girls surrounded the beautiful mage while Kathrina was holding his wrist as she stared at the watch. "Another artifact..?" "A spiritual artifact." Said the young man as he held his uniform toward Luru , with a nod , the little girl stored his uniform within her spatial ring.

"Big brother look like a genuine macigian!" Ali and Mimi were staring at the feminine man with a gaze of envy as they also had their magic robe but within reach could not wear it just yet. 'Magicians are rare so this should make me blend in easier' Kathrina pinched his cheeks and after she was satisfied , she led the children back to the mansion. 'Mhmm no wonder they said he was mysterious.. having so much artifacts and even a spirit one..' Kathrina understood that the young man couldn't be moved by those items at the shop.

Jack's wife was one of the top Magic Crafter in this city but she was also hard to find. Other than her casual equipment , the wife only met with people who are close to her or someone who was really important as she was busy scouring around the market for materials. Jack was precisely scared of Kathrina , mainly because she was his wife best friend and he told her multiple times that they could go bankrupt if she did not take the store sales seriously. The magic robe that the wife made came with a slight elemental resistance and also a Gravity type magic, Feathery Float , once a day the wearer could jump down from a mountain and land safely onto the ground without being hurt. The short wand was known as her specialty , Merryn Short Wand , one of the best wand a beginner could get in the entire upper lands. Other than the private made ands , the Merryn Short Wand came with a special metal that could draw a beginner magic graph twice as fast. It was special because metal would most be used by a enlightened magician since it would be hard for a beginner magician but Merryn found a rare metal from the northern land and mixed it together with a rare piece of wood to make her special wand that costed around 1000 Gold.

1000 Gold was enough for 200 students to be admitted into the academy and most of them were nobles or had a rich family backing them. The rest are either personal disciples of the teachers or a genius who had a scholarship by getting a flying mark in the entrance exam. "Well then , let's begin with the mana test!" Kathrina who arrived at her home , led the kids to her field as she took out a big cube from her ring. The teacher threw the cube and right before it could hit the ground , the cube shook and exploded into a sphere of light. The light floated upward until it reached the height of Kathrina. The bright light had a white color , surrounded by 4 small cube that was the fragments of the big cube itself. "This is my personal measuring tool , now ,who wants to go first?" Nodus was thinking of ditching the training to look around the city to confirm his theories but upon seeing the cube , the young man stood there curiously as he gazed at the floating light.

'It looks like the light is the sun and the fragments are square planets..' The picture reminded him of his throne that was protecting his army right before the explosion. 'They will survive for sure with Throne.. but I have to call him here somehow..' "Me ! " Ali who was overly thrilled to be tested , followed the teacher instruction and stood underneath the floating cubes. "Good.. Now close your eyes and imagine yourself floating in a vast amount of water.. the water is blue , and there is nothing else other than you and the water." With a short explanation , Ali closed her eyes as she imagined herself standing on the ocean , the wave was calm and the sky was a brightly lit by the sun with a young girl standing underneath the blue skies.

The white light began to change it's color into blue as the square fragments rotated faster. "Good , you have a connection and your body can easily handle mana!" Kathrina already knew the results beforehand but she just wanted to give the little girls more confident before the exam. "Yay I passed! Luru!" The girl held her friend as they both cheered on Mimi who went next. With the same result , the three girls were happily jumping around in circle. "Nodus , do you want to go next?" The girls suddenly became quiet as they heard her voice. Other than Mimi , Luru and Ali knew that Nodus was strong enough to handle a enlightened warrior from the crater. With a nod , the young man stood underneath the light and closed his eyes. Instead of imagining the oceans , Nodus was back in his galaxy dantian. Noticing that his galaxy rotated faster , the young man focused his gaze on the incoming white particle of light that came down and into the bigger star. The galaxy grinded the white particles as it rotated even faster than before when he was meditating. After all the white particles disappeared into the big star , the sun released a surge of heat and released a couple drop of water into his white grail. This times , the droplet of water was pink and it made him feel slightly attuned to the new source of energy as he could strongly feel it presence more than ever.

'I understand now..' Meanwhile in the outside world , the bright light began to vibrate as it faintly dropped onto the ground with the fragments. With the light disappeared , Kathrina walked toward the four cubes and released a ball of mana , the fragments assembled and returned to it's original appearance of a big squared cube. 'The child absorbed the artifact mana?.. But isn't that too muc-' Before she could finish her thoughts , Kathrina felt a wave of pure mana emitting from the young man. 'No! He absorbed and refined the mana leaving only pure mana within him!' The teacher froze in front of Nodus with a shocked expression. 'He can fight against Naire without using qi and now he can refine mana easily.. What kind of foundation did he set up..' The teacher did not want to inquire the young man as she pictured a future with the youngest supreme magician.

"I will foster you into the strongest ultimate magician!" As he opened his eyes , the teacher held his shoulders as she stared at him while shouting her statement. Looking at her resolute navy blue eyes , Nodus was reminded of his older sister as he nodded. "Understood sis-Teacher Kathrina." The teacher ears twitched as she squeezed the young man's cheek. "You were going to say sister right!?" The young man slightly blushed as the little cub ran on to his shoulder and pushed the teacher's face away from him.'Hey you! Stop bullying boss' But he could not stop the teacher as the rest of the girls surrounded him."Nodus is sooooo cute when he is shy , it's fine dear , you can call me sister!" Agreeing with Kathrina's word , the little girls laughed as they began to poke his cheeks.

"Look at them.. they sure getting along." The wife and husband stood by the door as they held their hand together."Mhm.. I wasn't expecting her to bond with the children this quick.. especially with Nodus." The husband laughed and kissed his wife."Don't worry , I am sure your sister will take good care of them." The wife nodded her head as she rested on his chest."Let's leave after school starts." Seeing the wife agreed , the husband led her toward the group of cheerful people on the field. "So you all passed the first test." Said Naire as he sat on the grass. "Mhmm uncle Naire! I passed the test on the ocean!" The little brown girl jumped around the couple as her dream to becoming the greatest warlock has started.

"They all passed with the highest grade! Now , times to do the second aptitude test , the affinity!" The two little girls lined up in front of the teacher and gave Nodus a puzzled look. "No need." Nodus held his hand out and a small ball of flame was formed , floating above his palm.

"What!" The couple and Luru approached the young man as they stared at his small fire ball. "Kathrina did you secretly teach him that last night?" The teacher kicked the husband away as she shook her head."What kind of pervert you think I am , sneaking into his room 'I should of done it' Ahem.. Nodus is just a genius.." Kathrina herself did not know Nodus received the blessing of the Mystical Star , which also gave him it's heat. The young commander just simply integrated his star heat into existence that was fueled by his new mana. 'So to fully cultivate the Mystic Stars I had to be able to manipulate mana.. but that doesn't exist in my universe...Being here is my destiny..' "It's so hot!" Luru quickly backed away with her mom and with her yell , the young man woke up from his dream and closed his palm as his fire ball disappeared.

'Fueled by mana and desires..' The young man could analyze everything in his dantian instantly as he acquired a new goal , to become the strongest magician in this universe. Looking toward the mysterious young man in his magic robe , Kathrina revealed a smile as she took out another tool that she had it made personally for her own uses. "Good.. then Ali , tell me , what is your goal on becoming a magician?" "I want to be the greatest warlock and feed everyone in my village with delicious food every day!" The crowd laughed as Kathrina threw a transparent glass ball at her.
