The Hall is truly so crowded, from main gate, you can see a sea of people which forming a wave each time it moving. Elan parted ways with Danu before coming in Hall of Virtue, he said he have something to do before Chyrma Academy Acceptance Ceremony really begin.
'But come to think of it again, he can't go anywhere in the middle of these crowd like this' Elan thinks for himself.
He actually daydreaming while acrossing way to enter Hall of Virtue, and....
* Bang *
He accidentaly crashing someone from ahead. With a panic face he looking around, founding that elegant figure which can't be ignored when you are looking at her. Elan still fascinated with her red long-hair and her face that looks from the side is so perfectly crafted shape, trying to help her instead getting acquainted. Elan seemed to reach out his hand, that graceful figure turned back to look at him with a glance.
*Pa!* fierce slap landed right on his face. No more hope!
"...eeehh?!"
"You think this street is yours! Just because you are someone from Great Family Cakrabuana, don't think everyone will worship you and open the way for you so you can walk while daydreaming like a clown, huh!"
So spicy. "H-how... you know that? I came from Cakrabuana Family?"
"Hmph... look, this is how lowly you are. After making mistake and throwing around question, really have no shame."
"I, I... n-no, I means not that. I am just suprised about you... not, nothing... I am so sorry about it," said Elan feels depressed. 'This girl is type that I never be a match of' he muttered.
The girl is trying stood up and avoiding whatever Elan said to her, then she brought her books which is fall right before him and leave as soon as possible.
"At least, you can give me your name aren't you? After all, it's just you that known my name, huuuh~" said Elan with a long sigh again.
Everyone within radius ten meter which since the first time paying attention to them start to talk with each other, spreading rumor about how a son of Cakrabuana Family was teasing a beautiful lady. Even something like he is harassing that her, another said if Elan reject her and many other that everyone begin to looking to it. Well, he is Cakrabuana, this name alone will bring many people surrounding him even thought just to throwing tantrums like the girls. Even Elan himself can't walk straight cause of great shame from rumor, in the end he never looked again on how rumor circulated.
At eight o'clock, in the Hall of Virtue.
An Elder with deep and calm appearance walk toward a platform. He was dressed in a dark black robe with gold stripes on both shoulders to his arms as well as a pattern of fire cloud on the edge of his robe showing it's splendor, inside his robe could be seen a white shirt and a brown tunic, his pants is black with short leather boots. Indicating a calm face in front of all students here. His face isn't looked too old either, but Elan could tell if he is someone with age more than 50 years old.
His calm face start to showing a wrinkles around his corner mouth. He gave a little smiles and begin to observe all of his students.
Suddenly, he said, "Good morning! Oh~ my lovely students!"
It's sounds loud enough for Hall to become a silent.
".... ehem," he continue again, "Congratulation for them to be successfully to upgrade in higher class, and for them to became a new student here. Let us give you a congrats 'Welcome to Chyrma Academy, our new Students'. I am here represent all teachers here... my name is, Mandra Rafiel, and I am your Headmasters! Just call me Grandmaster Mandra or rather Principal." he ended it with smile while looking at a line of suprised face of new students.
"Hey, is it really that Elder... Grandmaster Mandra?
"Isn't he looked more younger than supposed to be...."
"....I heard he is really terrifying..."
"....really?"
A similar discussion begins to come out from some new students.
"Enough!" he roared, "I understand you did not expect I, Grandmaster Mandra, am to look so different from your imagination, but I am that person and I need to remind you that it's better not to try to make me upset!" he said with a smile that made Elan shudder.
"... yup, it's enough here because the rest of event is not that important. I want Senior Students to leave the hall now..."
"Eeeeehh ?!" Master of Wizards and Fighters exclaimed in unison.
"Well, I gave you two minutes to do it..." smiled again.
Not long he made a surprised before, and now he put a pit fire on them.
"Heeeeeehhh ?!" cried the Senior Students.
The Headmaster, here-in-after called Principal, still put on his evil smiling face.
"Lets get out! Hurry up for yourself!" someone shouted.
And that triggered a big uproar. Dozens of students scramble for the exit door, others jump over the other head. Some are trampled too, some are knock each other, but that is only temporary. Then exactly within two minutes passed, all the Senior Students had disappeared from the Hall of Virtue. This is actually common occurrence in this academy. However, today was the fastest he, Principal ousted Senior Students on ceremony day.
"Well, because the disturber are all gone. Let's continue to see where your initial abilities must be placed on?!"
Principals movement is a little strange, he held his hand as if pushing the podium down here and jumped... hah! Jump? He jumps over the podium and moves so fast until he arrives in front of a New Student. What students see is only a his shadow that left behind, because Principal Mandra is moving very fast.
A woman who looks pretty enough ran up to catch him, her body so attractive, even to the poin it draws all attention of the boys. Her two rounded was so great when it bound around, so large and it's curvy shape so visible even though it was covered in black robe with silver stripes and fire cloud pattern.
"Aaahhh... Grandmaster Mandra, I beg to you, to not doing that anymore..." she said it and looked so worried.
All boys eyes looked so hot, some girls also looking with hot gaze in another way.
"Take it easy Master Diani, I will not get hurt just by falling from there."
"Well, I'm not worried about you Principal, what I'm worried about is the newly changed podium," she checked the podium with serious looks, "the price and the materials are high and rare so please be careful when using them..."
She really doesn't care about her Principal!
"Anu... Master Diani, aren't you worried about me at the time like these, isn't it just a pile of wood—"
"Hahh ?! A pile of wood, how right uhh!" she snapped at her waist, her movements suddenly making her curvy chest rebound heavily.
"Wooahh !!" cried several men, as well as Grandmaster.
"...what are you looking at?!" she shouted again having displeasure writed on her face all around, "You always urged me to make the best podium for every ceremony and you area always the one who ruin it after you finish using it, you never even leave us a little piece even for emblem of our academy!"
Grandmaster's eyebrows start to knitting non stop, his face changed too.
Finally, "Enough!" he cried loud enough try to divert their thought.
Obviously that make them surprised, Master Diani even take a few step back. "W-what ?!"
Everyone start to wondering.
Grandmaster's face still bowed and came out a small voice, "So..."
"So?!" everyone murmured.
"So—sorry, I'm so sorry!" he actually said so loudly as he bowed, "I, I never meant to destroy it, really, just now, I'm just trying to act cool in front of my new students… so don't be too angry with me, please."
"Heeeehhh ?!" cried the students.
Who would have guessed?! Someone like Grandmaster Mandra bowing down and apologized to acknowledged his childish behavior.
"Huuh~ again. Please don't starting to act like this every time I give you a warning! Besides we are still in front of new students, you know Grandmaster! Someone with a standing like you should be a role model for a new generation, instead of trying to act cool like a child showing off his new skill..." she began to lecture Principal in front of all new student.
Grandmaster looked right in her upper body with quick glance every second.
"... so," he said smilingly, "show a little your dignity as a Grandmaster and Principal of the Chyrma Academy..."
"Hm, O-okay ..." he replied a little slowly, felt so helpless being reprimanded.
Then she turns her body towards new students showing great shock on the two round mounts that cannot be separated from fantasy of men around her. Female students looks more upset about something else. While Elan began to show a little interest in the back line, looking for a gap to stare directly at the beautiful and sexy Master Diani. But, it's not because she's beautiful or sexy, but more about how she controls the people who are considered the strongest man in the Cirebon City currently.
Elan saw brown leather shoes tied tightly to her long legs, black robes fluttered, behind her also could be seen a silver-white pattern in her back parts. Her hands are wearing brown gloves, her body is quite tempting wrapped in blue and black uniform. The cloak of his robe stood out between her large curves chest.
"Allright ..." she said, scattering everyone's fantasy back into a neat row.
Meanwhile, Elan who has been lagging behind his line up attracting an interest of Master Diani.
"What's going on here? Is there something that catches your attention so you cannot focus for lining up?"
Looking in the direction of Master Diani's gaze, "Haha ..." it burst into laughter among the new students.
Something so interesting that it keeps you out of focus.
*Blush*
His face flushed instantly. Elan moves shyly, now how his image in front of his generation will be?
"No-nothing!" Elan exclaimed softly.
Master Diani face was so beautiful, white with flush, showing a curved line of smile that so obviously showed again that she is beauty at a higher level.
Looking back at the other students.
"Well, it's enough here for a joke... we're going to start a tradition to dividing class for new students of Chyrma Academy. Ahh... and I'll introduce myself, my name, Diani Putri Melati, call me Master Diani..."
"Y-yes ..." replied the student halfway.
"Hm?!" she grumbled with a different look, she looked so scary.
"Yes, ma'am!" exclaimed everyone.
Two Elder in black robes with a gray line came with a large crystal ball around twenty centimeters and prepared it beside Master Diani. Meanwhile, Grandmaster is escorted back to the seat at the end of the stage to observe the 'Initial Capability Test'.
Next, the first line of men and women sequentially come forward. There are at least about 120 new students presently at this time. Of the 12 lines, Elan is in the 4th row among men. That means there is still long enough to do his test. Watching what happens to the crystal ball is enough to make Elan's curiosity to rised.
The first male student came up and mentioned his name. Master Diani asked his hand to touch the crystal ball, then energy in body flow down to it. It's easy to do for you to breathe slowly over and over as if trying to insert something into the crystal ball, and the crystal will emit its light then the rate of energy pressure inside your body will come out, as explained by Master Diani. Actually the number that comes out is the projection from inside the crystal to translate the result.
The crystal glows green and the projection on it rotates the numbers until it stops.
[Pressure = 42]
[Color = Green]
[Total Energy = 60]
Energy pressures indicate that they have the potential for such enormous energy use on every time. And for the color adjusted color projection of light and how big pressure, there are 12 colors to be written; red, orange, orange-yellow, yellow, yellow-green, green, green-blue, blue, blue-indigo, indigo, purple, and purple. Then the total energy is the amount of potential and their current energy capabilities that become the benchmark of class selection, total energy below 71 will go to the class of warriors and those who are above it will enter the wizard class. However, there are still an exceptions in some cases.
" 'Pendekar Genius', Beginner Class 1-A!"
"Wahh ...!" the other student's cries in envy with him, at least he entered the Pendekar Genius and has a color of energy that isn't shameful to be seen.
Seeing some of her students' face turned look so worried, Master Diani said, "The color of your energy is not the most important thing in this test, because the color of your energy can change even purple if you practice and increase your energy."
Well, color of energy is just a measure for how fast your development from now on. Like if you have a Green colored Aura, then when you breakthrough a new level, your aura will be advanced from Red to Green with a little amount of time than others.
Really a good phrase. Students who had been so gloomy began to show their confidence. The Initial Capability Test goes on.
"Pendekar Division, Beginner Class 1-C..."
Four people in the same streak and the five remaining from the first row of male students enter Pendekar Division Beginner Class 1-D. The turn of the first row of female students.
Her face looked so pretty and proudly walked toward crystal ball. Well, in the eyes of a man she is so glamor and charming, make their eyes keep to following until she stops her step.
Saying her name, "Kirana, Kirana A. Kencana!" she proudly proclaom it and then put her hands down.
Light quickly came out and dazzled. As soon as the light subsides the series of numbers rotates quickly and stops showing its description.
[Pressure = 80]
[Color = Indigo]
[Total Energy = 168]
All eyes nearly poped out because of surprised she brought in. Perhaps this is the first time anyone has shown such a large number in an Initial Capability Test. Even Principal was quite surprised to look up at the projection above the crystal.
Master Diani smiled and said, "'Wizards Genius', Beginner Class 1-A!"
"Hmph, just so-so!" she exclaimed indifferently.
The second female student showed a considerable amount of energy. Around 120, and afterwards it all goes into Wizards Division Beginner Class. Then from the next two rows of men and women, only six of the men and four of the women who enter the wizards Beginner Class, while the rest, 10 to the Pendekar Genius and 20 to the Pendekar Division.
Some people in same rows as Elan look so strong, their aura feels a little different. Elan himself was at the very back in rows. The first person in Elans row advanced and showed a total of 123 energy, entered into the class of wizard genius. Similarly, the second to the fourth shows the total energy above 110 with the green-blue color aura, too bad the last is orange-yellow aura. That means his magic control will be less than the other only makes him into the Wizards Division, the rest gets under 100 but successfully enters the wizards beginner class.
Now it's Elan turn to take an Initial Capability Test.
Another students started to staring at him as he walked toward the crystal ball. Elan felt really nervous as he stepped forward. Someone tapped him from behind.
* Tap *
Elan turned around and recognize the face behind him. He understands if Danu gives him some encouragement to be less anxious and nervous.
"Elan, Elan F. Cakrabuana, ready!" he said it loud.
People began to look at each other as they heard his name. No wonder they feel familiar with his face, as if they have seen him somewhere else before. Now the views of some people are becoming more insulting and disdain.
For a moment nothing happened to the crystal ball.
* Woosh! *
Wind blows out around the crystal and the bright light comes out truly can make ones blind. Everyone in the hall covered their eyes. Moments later the light turned into a dark dim, a darkness that slowly turned to slightly red light. When the black and red lights dimmed the projection of numbers did not stop rising to over a thousand and still rising until it stopped being...
[Pressure = 9999]
[Color = Dark-Red]
[Total Energy = 9999]
All the students were surprised to see it. Sure enough, even the Grandmaster stood up looking at it with serious faces. But the projection is only temporary before it turns into...
[Pressure = 0000]
[Color = Dark-Red]
[Total Energy = 0000]
Is there something wrong? Think Elan, wondering why his results are so different from the others it even come to zero points.
Every student starts to discuss quietly.
"Do it again!" said Grandmaster Mandra from the side.
"Yes, Principal..."
"Elan, do it again!"
The result remains the same as before, it projecting zero points. Grandmaster racked his brain to think if this really could happen. A Moment before making a decision he seemed to remember something and said, "Well! Elan F. Cakrabuana, you... go to Beginner Class 1-A, Wizards Genius..."
Elan face changed in delight and the others began shouting in protest. However....
"... and also Beginner Class 1-A of Pendekar Genius!" exclaimed the Grandmaster to finish his sentence firmly make no one dared to shout again.
Everyone become silent and petrified without a word for a moment.
'I am in two genius classes at once? What exactly is Grandmaster Mandra thinking about this time.' he murmured in surprise.

[#] Their Robe have a pattern looks like fire cloud or you can see Batik Megamendung on google.
Pendekar is same meaning with Fighters, Martial Artist and the like.... because in my land we call them like that since old times so I think I will use this from now on. Also I can differentiate it with another phrase in the future.
