clay is already at the front.
" so would you want to test your affinity? " the scout said.
" yes please do" clay said while smiling.
as clay said these words he slowly moves his hands at the top of the crystal ball. at this moment it was like the time slowly passed as all of his movements seems to be played in slow motion. all of the eyes staring at clay.
clay can feel the gaze of all the people that surrounding him. clay can almost feel their disdained expression and sympathy towards him.
then clay's hands reach the upper most part of the crystal ball. it was at this moment that you can even hear all of their deep breaths as they patiently wait but nothing happens.
" affinity less " a man mumbled but a lot of people hear it because os the silence.
' Magi-chan show water affinity ' clay said to magi-chan in his mind.
then a blue glow appeared inside the ball.
" one affinity its just as expected " a woman in the crowd said.
then a red glow appeared. when a person was just about to say something a green glow appeared following by a brown glow. a 4 affinity showed.
a moment of silence occurred people are just absorbing on the unveiling events in front of them. then a man shouted.
" WHATt?? 4 AFFINTIES?? IMPOSSIBLE" a man shouted which also make all the people realized.
then a deafening crowd can be heard some are shouting in shock and some have a daze ezpression while they are some that are mouths agape. even the scout's mouth is wide open.
clay is just expressionless but smiling in his mind then said to magi-chan' do your own thing '
then all of the affinities glows really bright. so bright that it can even make people blind. but the thing is all of the people can feel something unusual but do not know what it is.
when clay pour his mana a black glow appeared but all of the people have their eyes closed so clay can only see this glow. for some other reasons clay is not being blinded by the light.
but clay not only saw a glow but a fairy like creature again but in black color. then the ball shattered.
when all of the people finally come back at their senses they can see the bits of pieces of the shattered crystal.
" What happen?" a man ask.
" i dont know it seems like the crystal is defected so that it shows 4 affinities" a middle age woman said.
some people agreed to this but some capable people know exactly what happens. a lot of people are watching in the shadows some are from other powers to spy if there can be some prodigies and the other one is merlin.
even merlin cannot keep his calm demeanor and almost accidentally release his aura.
"No way! its the same as mine void affinity he also have 5 affinities but not just 5 affinities he excels in all of them that even the crystal ball cant measure. its just like before but i thought the empire's tester can keep up but i did not thought that it will also shattered" merlin muttered.
then the scouts cough and said" sorry i do not know what really happens it seems that the crystal ball is defecte-" the scout is not done in her words when someone tapped her at the back.
" Accept him" a man's voice can be heard he wore a blue robe with a hood and white mask.
" super visor bu-" the scout is being interrupted again.
" no buts and just do what i said " the man said with an ordering and domineering tone but not loud at the same time.
" Yes sir!" the scout just do what he said. then the man turned to blur. and disappear.
" your now accepted be grateful there must be something special to you" then the scout toss a 50 cm white card and said "just pour your mana their to create your ID card when you participate at the entrance exam. find your tent now at the back the carriages will arrive tomorrow morning also bring you Baggage at the tent that you have choose. that's all"
" okay " clay said.
clay keep his card in for now then quickly pick his things and find a tent which is not full. the tent can let 20 kids sleep.
then clay bid farewell at olivia's parents and proceed to find his tent,
