CHAPTER 5: ELEMENT

After Myro saved the snake's body, he looked around for items that could be used to summon.

"Young master, this is the item we are looking for", said Shar. In his hand he currently held a small but golden and shining crystal.

Myro slowly took the crystal and thanks in surprise "It's a pretty good item. The gold crystals in the previous The World Online games were quite good at summoning characters. I didn't expect to find items from The World Online on the continent of Fate".

After that Myro spoke again "All this because of your help, thanks Shar".

"What you are saying, helping young master is what I should be doing", said Shar.

Myro just smiled then said "Then let's get out of the cave and return to the village. I think if I don't return for a long time the people in the village will be worried".

"Very well, young master", replied Shar, then he disappeared again.

Myro kept the gold crystal in his inventory and walked out of the cave. When he saw the sky outside was almost dark, therefore Myro rushed out of the forest and walked to the village. After arriving in the village Myro immediately went home and did not tell anyone about today's incident.

The days passed quickly again.

Today was the day Myro and the three children previously went to a nearby town to do an element compatibility test.

"Listen, Myro, when you're there, you have to follow the wizards' directions properly," Myro's father reminded Myro.

During the element compatibility test, participants will go there themselves and be escorted there by a magic committee that has been prepared from the academy, therefore Myro's father must remind Myro to behave properly.

"Don't forget to eat your lunch when you're hungry," Myro's mother said.

"Yes, I understand," Myro said to his parents.

"All participants to come soon, we will leave soon", said one person wearing a fighter's clothes. Usually magicians don't come personally to pick up participants but pay adventurers to help them pick up the participants.

"Then father, mother I go first", Myro said then immediately walked to the waiting horse carriage. Likewise, his other friends from this village also got into the horse carriage. The horse carriage began to walk towards another village. This horse carriage will pick up children from several other villages first and then head to the city.

In the carriage apart from the other children. There was also a man who was around 35 years old and wore a warrior's armor, on his waist was a sword.

After passing through approximately 5 villages, the horse carriage finally moved towards the city. Myro watched from the horse carriage in admiration. A large wall stood firmly protecting the city. Myro was sure that with this wall, the city could be defended even if the number of enemies was double that of the city's defense force.

This horse-drawn carriage enters the city without having to pay an entrance fee. Of course there was no need to pay, after all this horse carriage had the emblem of the magic academy so no one dared to stop the movement of this horse carriage.

The city is much busier than the village. Myro could see the various shops that were open around the streets of this city. Even though it's not as crowded as the town on Earth Myro used to be, it's still much busier in this town than the village.

The horse carriage stopped at a large building in the city. The fighting man got out of his horse carriage and said "You can get out of the horse carriage and enter the door slowly. I will only take you here, you will enter the building yourself and start your test. When you are done you I will return to this horse-drawn carriage and then I will return to take you home."

Hearing the fighting man's words, Myro and the other children started to get out of the carriage one by one and walked into the designated building.

After everyone entered, suddenly beside the previous fighting man came out someone who was the horse carriage courier, the horse carriage courier said "Do you think there will be a magician this time?".

Hearing the horse carriage courier's words, the fighting man couldn't help but smile bitterly and said "We've been doing this job for ten years and so far only one person has been accepted. nobles. You think these children will have an elemental compatibility. Very few people have an elemental compatibility. Even from this town alone it's been more than five years and haven't been able to bring up a child who has an elemental compatibility again".

The chariot driver nodded and said with a sigh "Yes you're right. Even a noble child who was accepted seven years ago from our city only has a match of one element and is considered quite talented. But I heard that if you manage to become a magician even only apprentice magicians, then many noble families and even royal families will recruit you with high rewards".

"Obviously it won't happen to us. How about we have lunch first while waiting for them?", said the fighter man.

"Alright", then the two of them went to find lunch

.........

Myro entered the building. After entering inside there are several seats to wait and then there is only a door guarded by someone wearing a white robe.

After everyone entered the room, the white-robed person immediately spoke "You all line up neatly. Then you will enter one by one. You can only enter through this door after the person who previously entered came out. If you understand, start lining up".

"Listen, there will be someone in there who will test you so follow what they say. If you don't fit into any element, don't cry and get out of the room immediately so you don't disturb the next participant who will enter".

Immediately, all the children in this room including Myro started lining up in front of the door. Then a boy who was standing at the very front began to enter the room.

After waiting for about five minutes the child who entered the previous room came out crying it seemed that he couldn't be a magician. After all, almost all children are interested in becoming wizards. Everyone is clearly interested in having a lot of money and strong power therefore almost all children are interested in becoming magicians.

Seeing the crying boy, the man wearing the white robe immediately frowned and shouted angrily "I told you before right. If you are not selected then stop crying and leave. Don't disturb the other participants".

Seeing the angry white-robed mage, the boy was frightened and immediately ran out of this building while still crying. Seeing this Myro felt a little sorry for the boy, but there was nothing Myro could do.

Then the person in the second row started to enter the door as well. Myro saw his position lined up and couldn't help but say in his heart "It seems that I still have to wait a very long time for my test".
