Division

Kevin Salzman, one of the 3rd year instructors of the Academy, glanced at the group of students in the hall.

He looks a bit intimidating but it is only his appearance. He's probably the nicest instructor here in the academy as the standard level of his teachings is almost similar to the teachers of the royal family of this kingdom.

He didn't just want his students to graduate but he wanted to be the best of their generation…

'Hmm… We have a lot more students this year, huh…' The middle-aged man thought after seeing the crowd.

He wears his loose black robe indicating his status as an instructor and held a book in his right hand.

At this time, 260 freshmen were accepted into the Academy. On the other hand, there are only 10 Instructors assigned to these new students.

Anyway, since they will be staying here for 5 years, their first year in the academy was only for their foundation training. So these ten instructors should be more than enough.

The first-year instructors' specialty includes teaching about the theory and study of the Mystic Arts, physical health education for the sake of maintaining a reliable affinity with mana, foreign language classes, magic item crafting, and others.

'Hmm… I wonder who would be able to last here for five whole years…' Kevin mused as he saw the excited faces of these young talents of their kingdom.

It was always like that in their first year but it wouldn't be surprising that many of them would quit after some time.

As far as he could remember, the 200 freshmen five years ago only has about 70 students in their fifth year now. It's not because of the instructors' fault but it was due to the limit of their capabilities.

Seeing that everyone is ready to listen, he stood in the platform and started to explain what is about to happen.

"Everyone standing here has all passed the minimum requirement that we needed. So five of these instructors would all accept you."

He then pointed at the ten black-robed instructors on the side of the hall who were all quietly observing them.

"As for the five others, you can't just attend their classes if you only have the bare minimum! You need to show something to them to accept you."

Kevin paused as he looked at their faces. He was satisfied by their reaction. They should be aware of this already but it is necessary to explain.

"You need to possess the talent or skills that will move them! It can be easy but it can also be difficult. These instructors would tell you more about their requirements once the classes officially started by tomorrow. In the meantime, I will divide all of you according to your aura… Well, don't ask how I can feel your Aura. It's one of my Mystic Arts…"

The middle-aged man added the last part after hearing surprise noises from the crowd.

Sensing Mana or the presence of Mystic Arts is not impossible and they will learn it soon. However, it is completely a different matter for sensing a human's Aura.

It is not similar to "presence". For sure, everyone realized that the Aura he was talking about is the mysterious life energy or perhaps soul energy that is not being taught at all.

Of course, only Arial is clueless about this thing. Though he knows the word Aura, it didn't register to him that it is something incredible.

Soon, the man who called himself Kevin opened his book in front of everyone.

Then, something happened.

"Ahh!"

"What's this!"

"Amazing!"

"I've never seen this Mystic Art!"

"Incredible! Is it our Aura?"

"That's right! It must be!"

The crowd was awed in surprise after they suddenly saw something coming out of their bodies. Some quick-witted guys immediately noticed that it could be their aura since Kevin just talked about it.

Apparently, a colored fog appears to be steaming out of their bodies…

Some were red, orange, yellow, and blue Aura…

It is such an incredible sight and even Arial couldn't help but be surprised. He looked at his palm and noticed that the steam coming out of his body is white… It is completely unlike the others here…

'Ugh… This is bad.'

He didn't want to get unwanted attention because of his mission. He noticed that most of them have yellow Aura, if he could control his Aura, he would rather make it yellow while no one is paying attention to him.

"Eh?"

As he thought of changing his Aura into another color, he suddenly noticed that it indeed turned yellow!

He immediately looked around and noticed that no one is indeed paying attention to him as they are busy admiring the aura around their bodies. Luckily, he is in the midst of the students so his white Aura was being blocked from the teacher's point of view…

Soon, many students started looking at their friend's color of aura…

On the other hand, Arial looked at the book that Kevin used. As soon as he opened it, this has happened.

So it is quite easy to speculate that the book is magical or it possesses the Mystic Arts that he will learn in the next few years.

"Alright… I know you're excited but I can't maintain this for long. Those with Red Aura stand on the further left… It will be followed by Orange, Yellow, and Blue Aura… If there is someone here with Black or even Purple Aura… You will have to step forward and meet the Headmaster."

Kevin said with a ragged breath.

A Mystic Art related to Aura is not an easy thing to create. It took him about 20 seconds before he could breathe again when he opened his grimoire.

He looked around the students and noticed that there are only four who are quite special in the crowd just by looking at their aura…

Soon, the student's Aura vanished completely as he completed the division process with the help of other instructors.
