ch2 I hope you don't let me down then...

A few days later it was finally the time when Cross joined the academy. He woke up early like usual and went straight to the Academy to register himself. When he got there he first saw many young people gathering in one place. He headed there and waited for himself. Many people were talking to each other. They were all vicious people who were only here for power. But some have good intentions.

"Is there a test really?" Mob 1

"Yea my father told me three gonna be a test first before you could enter the academy" Mob 2

"..."

"Are you sure this is the right academy?" Mob 3

"Yes I told you it's here" Mob 4

"Then why are we all waiting here then?" Mob 3

"..."

After some time has passed. The people all felt pressure on them making them quite down. Then from below, a platform quickly rises from flames like a phoenix being revive once more. The people were all amazed and shook. This is the first time they saw real magic after all. They all have live-in towns or village that doesn't have mages. And for the some who has seen or live near them wasn't that all impress but still amazed like any individual.

There stood 2 people in the front while 10 is behind them. They all look powerful. They all have different elements circulating their body. some look like each other as well like flames one was red the other was blue. Many different kinds of elements were gathered in one place. But the people who stood the most were the head of the Academy himself and I Dream.

The head of the academy looks very elegant with a long beard like any old magician has and nice beautiful staff on his right hands. They were made up of Dravo tree one of the trees of wonder, muscles tendons of a dragon, and a mysterious fifth tear core of a beast that I haven't seen. While I stood in a straight noble manner with a black suit. I have white gloves and mysterious golden eyes that shines even in the light I have my staff with me. It was 6 feet tall colored of golden color with black lines engraved on it like a beautiful drawing of a dragon while the top was just a plain downward point with a six-tear core of a Void tiger. I stood right beside the head magician of the academy. He amplified his voice and started to speak in a grampa kind of voice.

"Wellcome to the magi magicians academy. Here you would learn and train to be a magician or the like. But before you can get inside...You must first finish a test to prove your worth. Hardworking or influence shall not get you access to the academy...All you need is the talent for the art of magic"

"First of the test yes. The first test you shall have is what kind of elements are you best at... You all have to just touch the ball and which elements appear before you are witch teacher you shall be tested further... As you can see behind me are the teachers of the school... every one of them has different elements of the course and which element you have shall determine your place...As for me and mister Dream besides me...We shall teach our own disciple you may call it or master and apprentice. You might ask why is he different from the others? Well, he is very gifted and has the element of the void...It is one of the most powerful elements out there only the elements of white fire and red ice can match it...NOW THEN LET THE TEST BEGINS" (A/N: Void: Power to nullify almost all elements also best damage or explosive and space magic. While red ice is so cold that it burns the darkness away)

He shouted while Cross look at them with a determined gaze he first looks towards the head magician and then slowly turn towards me. Cross saw me staring at him with a smile on my face. He quickly stared at the line that was slowly forming and hastily got on the line with people. He was in the middle of them. He still has to wait a few minutes or hours of how many people were in the singular line.

The line was slowly diminishing after every minute one person has gotten tests with the ball. Most of the people were sent away for having zero compatibility with magic even if they already have a certain amount of mana. They could only be a knight or a warrior. Finally after 3 hours of waiting it was Cross turned. When he slowly touch the ball it glowed in purple light with dark enveloping it signifying Void element. All of the magician's instructors look at me and started to swear on their minds for finding he isn't compatible student for them. I laugh and slowly headed in his direction. This was gonna be the first time we meet in person after all.

Cross look at me who was slowly going in his direction. He was thinking of how the way he was suppose to greet me. As I have my eye on him for the entire time. I look at him and pule out my hand to him.

"Do you want to be my student? Little Cross? *Chuckles* If you'd like I can gift you something as a teacher if you accept me"

I said with a smiled while Cross looks at me bewildered at how I know his name. He stopped for a few moments to think about my offer before nodded his head. He holds my hand and made a magician's bow for their masters. I followed suit and made a master's bow to his student.

"Yes of course Master"

" *Chuckles* Well then for my gift to my first student in my lifetime I shall gift you these"

I said before lifting my staff and bringing it down creating black energy circulating us with purple dim color that sparkled all night. The surrounding became darker and a butler's suit floated in the middle of the black energy. It slowly fitted itself in Cross body. I smiled once more and started to explain what the suit is.

"Well lets me explain what it is then *Chuckles* First of this is a suit made with dark dragons skin very durable and has a nice defense against physical and magical attack *Chuckles* Just like the one Im wearing well It also has the attribute to increasing the Void power within you. Every day it would strengthen you but only in a slightest of amount *Chuckles* Come follow me then"

I said before starting to walk forward toward the other instructor who was bewildered by what I said except for the head magician. He already knows I'm a maker after all. While staring at himself in a daze but quickly fix himself and followed suit. I just smiled and waited for all the registry was done and every instructor was explaining their test. They have three tests for each element. Each is also different with many chances of death. I look towards Cross and started to explain my test.

"First of Little Cross I shall only give you 1 test *Chuckles*"

I said giving him one finger to count on and smiled at him gently. He heard me and got confused he ask me why is there only 1 test.

"But master why do I only have one test?"

"Well, you see my test is different *Chuckles* you will be gone for a week. I'll explain it now. MY TEST IS FOR YOU TO GO TO A DUNGEON THAT I WILL GIVE YOU A MAP AND GET WAT WAS INSIDE OF IT. IF YOU GOT IT HOLD IT FIRMLY AND!"

I bright my staff up and slump in down creating black mana with purple color around me circularly. Every instructor and student who heard me got their face paled even the head magician but they can't say anything to me now as I already am his Master.

Cross was also paled but still nodded his head. I smiled once more bringing the top of my staff in his hands and muttered something. Then a dark purple glow envelops his hand before diminishing and only showing a wand in his hands completely in black color with a bright golden color core on the tip of it. I nodded and gave him the map before sending him away with a small smile on my face. (A/N: You may be wondering why they are scared that is because a dungeon correspond how strong the person is. The stronger she/he is the stronger harder the dungeon is. There will always be a high chance of death)

"I can still recall what I made *Chuckles* Ahh the memory. I can still remember making the dungeon-like it was two days ago *Chuckles* Well then If I remember correctly what I made is..."

~Flash back~

When I was making the dungeon I first thought about his skills. How to aim dodge and block spells and other think. I first made 6 rooms for each thing he needed to learn. I made it so to reach one room to the other he needed to complete a maze or a puzzle. For the maze, I just made a straight path that would trick your mind into telling you there are many. The more you go to the final door the more trick your mind is. As for the puzzle, I made a riddle.

The first one is very common just one sentence. You can run but you can't hide what are you. The second one is a much more complex one, You jump but also not what are you doing. The third one is I'm full of holes, yet I'm full of water. What am I?.

The first one is a maze then the riddle the maze again to get to the other door. For the first room...Cross needed to learn how to aim so I made a room where you needed to shoot a hundred targets in 1 minute. Then the next room he shall need to fight a wooded sparrow that is fast and agile like a mouse. The third room shall train him in the arts of defense where he needed to cast a perfect defense spell or an arrow that can kill him at any given time and it would come silently and undetected. In the fourth room, he needed to fight a stone gargoyle holding a magic lance that would aim at him every 3 seconds and will stop for 1 second. In the fifth room, he needed to learn how to dodge himself so that is why I made sure that there is a scroll that would drop after defeating the gargoyle When he can practice magic that would enhance his agility for 1 day. The room holds a week fire spell that could measure his magic power and mana output to give it just enough to make it a little harder to dodge. Finally, in the last room, he needed to defeat the first tear monster called Claw rat. It has nice attack power good agility and a long rang attack called magic stinger that would propel one of his claws forward regrowing a new one after.

"*Chuckles* Can he live or die? I don't really care if the story is a bit different I'll just make a new cross *Chuckles* technically saving him only without his memory *Chuckles* I hope you don't let me down then..."
