Lucking Out

Ding!

A bell chime reverberated in the yard as soon as the light inside the cylindrical gauge reached the highest point. The Mages and Knights surrounding them at that time all had dumbfounded expressions on their faces.

Zemfry bad a look of mild surprise on his face. The surprise on his face however, didn't reflect the true surprise he was feeling inside.

'What the fuck?! What the actual fuck?! How the hell is he so talented?! How can some thrash from the village be so game talented, that can't be!'

'He doesn't come from the village. He does t fucking come from the village?! That's the only fucking explanation'

'There's no way Alder's actually from the village. For one, I don't remember anyone giving birth to him when I was younger and secondly, that village can't produce a genius like him. But if he isn't from the village then where is he from, and if he has such a high Mana Affinity how come he was so weak?'

Zemfry massaged his temples as he processed those thoughts. He took one more look at Alder and smirked. He might have lucked out by picking him out as his lackey.

All he had to do now was care and nurture him so he'll have an asset with him when he becomes stronger in the future.

Zemfry smiled, then looked at Tiana who had a ayfuk smirk on her face.

"Is it just me or does Alder look quite babgable right now" She said with a smile.

"Pervert!"

The crowd that were watching were momentarily stunned inti silence. After a few seconds, they broke into an uproar.

"Whoa!"

"So fucking cool. This guy is so fucking talented"

"Do you think you have a girlfriend. I think I have a crush on him"

"Hmph! With looks like that, I think he'll be caing you aunty!"

The crowd broke out until a series of exclamations and shocked screams. Some girls even started publicly hitting on him.

The person in question just stood there in a daze. It was as if he didn't realize what was happening at all, he was just looking at that Mana guage with surprise in his eyes.

"Alder Richemaunt, Excellent grade Mana affinity. Passed!" The middle aged man said, snapping Alder out from his thoughts.

He walked back to where Zemfry and Tiana were standing and smirked at them. "How's that?" He asked with a cocky smile.

Tiana was about to respond but Zemfry beat her to it. "Meh" he shrugged.

"Next up, Alimah Ferrenwerda!" The middle aged man called out.

A girl that looked about fifteen years old walked out. She had black hair and an unbelievably or complexion. Her eyes had several black bags under them. There was a nose rings in either of her nose and a piercing at the corner of her mouth.

She was wearing an all black outfit, consisting of leather pants and a loose top. There was a katana strapped to her waist.

"What the actual fuck?" Zemfry asked. His eyes followed the girl as she walked over to the cylindrical gauge.

She closed her eyes and a wisp of Mana entered the Mana gauge.

When Alder Injected his Mana into the Mana gauge, it paused after reaching the leak of every level of Mana affinity. When Alimah did it however, it just lit up the interior of the Mana gauge until it reached the top.

"Whoa!"

"What the fuck?! Another one?"

"She looks kinda of creepy though"

"I don't mind it, I'll still totally smash her, she has an excellent Mana affinity"

"Do you think that things like that can be gotten from doing it?"

While male population of the crowd was thinking aloud without regard to the person that they were talking was in front of them.

"Alimah Ferrenwerda, excellent Mana affinity, passed!"

Alimah shot the crowd a look of disgust before she started walking back to where she stood previously. While she was walking however, she occasionally glanced at where Zemfry was standing and their gazes met.

She ignored him and made to continue walking towards her spot. After a few steps forward, she paused and furrowed her brows.

Zemfry also furrowed his brows at that very moment. That was because they both sensed something.

Alimah changed the trajectory of her walk and started walking towards Zemfry. When she got to his front, she stretched out her hand.

"Hi, I'm Alimah Ferrenwerda" She said.

Zemfry stretched out his hand and took her hands in his. "Zemfry Klassen"

"Never thought I would meet another Necromancer among these lot" Alimah said while smiling.

Zemfry smiled back. "Neither did I"

"Well, we'll see mater. Good luck on the Mana affinity test. Although I don't think you'll need it. You have the aura if a s-" Alimah was about to finish talking but Zemfry interrupted her.

"Smashingly handsome genius loved by Mana, I know" He said with a smile.

Alimah looked at Zemfry deeply for a few seconds then looked at the people around him.

'I guess he hasn't even told his friends' She thought to himself.

"Alright then, see you around" Alimah smiled and walked away.

"Goodbye" Zemfry waved slightly as she walked away.

"What was that all about?" Tiana asked when Alimah walked away.

Zemfry smiled at her. "I've just met another Necromancer for the first time. And according to our brief interaction, there shouldn't be any more of us here"

"Well obviously, everyone hates Necromancers, they wouldn't want to show their faces in public" Alder said with a scoff.

Zemfry looked at Alder as if he was looking at a fool. He was about to say something but he suddenly remembered something.

"You know what? I think I've become rather lucky" Zemfry said all of a sudden.

"Why's that" Tiana raised a brow.

"That girl, she was totally hitting on me" Zemfry said with a smile.
