2 Mageri Wizckeria

Year 2097. Planet Armistar, the Holy Capital, Guruliam.

Located in the clouds above the Holy Capital sat what seemed to be an ancient-forgotten castle. Light shone on the exterior lined with cracks, and rubble. Moss clung in the shade of the aged walls like a straggly beard. Despite its shabby appearance, this place was where everyone desired to be. Even proud aloof sons, and daughters of prestigious families await their opportunity to enter the castle.

If you looked closely at the front of the castle, one would be able to faintly discern letters engraved into the stone that read: Merlin. Originally home to the greatest wizard of all time, however, one day Merlin vanished leaving behind only his castle. No one, not even his closest friends, and allies knew of his whereabouts.

While everyone has heard of Merlin's heroic exploits, and amazing feats, that was not the sole reason why the castle is so widely regarded. Ever since the departure of Merlin, in his honor, one of his closest friends, Randolf decided to turn it into an school for wizardry and witchcraft, now widely known as the famous Mageri Wizckeria.

Mageri Wizckeria quickly rose as the leading institution for aspiring mages after nurturing some of the best wizards, and of witches of this era; the Flame Magician, the Otherworldly Charmer, and Ms. Potts, the best Potions Master in the Holy Capital, all of them came from Wizckeria.

It was said that if you were to become a student of Wizckeria, your road was practically paved for you! Even the worst Wizckerian was a Rank 4 Mage which easily allowed him to become the deputy of a small city.

Admissions were extremely fierce, unlike other institutes who recruit all year round, Mageri Wizckeria only accepted a small number of applicants every three years. Last time, the number of accepted students only totaled to 55, not even a hundred! Unless one possessed powerful connections or immense aptitude for magic, they would be hard-pressed to find themselves a Wizckerian. Many unfortunate so-called geniuses who had decided to wait for a year or two until Mageri Wizckeria opened their doors again found themselves wasting their time for nothing, and were no longer talented enough to even attend a top-tier institute.

Of course, there was another way to become a Wizckerian. If a professor of Wizckeria hereby acknowledges you as his or her protege, you can directly become a student of Mageri Wizckeria without even having to take the assessment, but this only applied to the true geniuses of geniuses. Very seldom would professors take proteges from the Selection. Usually, apprentices would be made out of 3rd, and 4th year Wizckerians. In all of history, only 3 students managed to directly enroll without having to take part in the Selection. One would have better odds of being struck by lightning.

Today, the streets of the Holy Capital, Guruliam was bustling with people more so than before in a long time. Many young couples, and countless parents were seen walking with their youths in one direction. Today was the day the Selection was being held. Many top-tier institutes, including the famous Mageri Wizckeria was taking part. Whenever Mageri Wizckeria participated, it was always a great spectacle to witness, many hurried themselves to grab a seat! Seldom could one see an expert from up close, and one from Wizckeria at that.
