Chapter 12: The Golden Book
In the testing room, Baria's hand held the drawing paper. Baria examined the paper in front of her. [Is this a magical weapon?] The invigilator told her to wait outside. "Go ahead." [This child would be even happier if she received another magical item. I can't break the rules either. It's a shame to get a useless magical item, but whatever. This is just the beginning.]
Seria walked through the door, looking around with interest. The invigilator told her to stand in the center of the room.
The invigilator looked at the girl intently, as she was one of the three geniuses.
[Okay, the second child. How interesting! Maybe she could be called a level three magical weapon.] The invigilator looked up at the sky.
The invigilator's face fell as his mouth dropped open. A golden book the size of a novel floated down, its golden pattern gleaming in a blinding golden light.
The invigilator was utterly stunned. [Is this a golden book? A level four magical weapon? This is crazy. I'm only level three, and this kid's level four. This kid will definitely be a genius one day. A special golden book, level four.
The ability to read all characters. This book is good at reading. It could be called the path of the wise. Its memory is terrifying. Many people have trained hard to remember characters. But this magical book has been upgraded to level four. With abilities just as useful as level four, it's a magical item perfect for warriors who don't use their brains!!
The golden book flew into Seria. Seria looked at the invigilator. The invigilator came to his senses and said,
"Congratulations, you've received the golden book. Your life will be bright. This old woman guarantees it." Seria smiled happily.
"Hooray!" Seria ran out of the room. Later, Seraph walked into the room. On the way, he saw Seria's expression beaming with joy. If it were water, he would have jumped into it and played. Seraph walked in, surveying the surroundings, looking up at the ceiling. His expression remained calm.
[What is this?] Above the ceiling, a large golden eye stared down. There was only one. Seraph ignored the golden eye. The others who entered must have been as shocked as he was.
[Never mind, the others who entered must have been as shocked as I was, so let's forget about it. Just seeing it made me feel scared. Next, an exciting event. What will it give me?]
A golden light sent down a single scale, shaped like a golden bracelet, floating down in front of Seraph. Seraph took it and looked at the invigilator.
"What is this?" The invigilator nodded. "A level 1 magical weapon, low level, I suppose. According to the old woman's estimation, it should create light from the bracelet."
[This kid has acquired another piece of trash. A bracelet that can illuminate dark spaces without using energy? Clearly trash. So many young martial artists have entered. So many weapons suitable for fighting. The world of martial artists. He uses strength as the deciding factor. So it's useless. In the dark, no one would think to turn on the light during an attack. This magical weapon is not fit for a warrior.]
Seraph walked outside and waited. Each child stood looking at their magical items. Barrier asked Seraph, "What did you get?" "Seraph showed me a golden bracelet." A golden bracelet. Its ability is to create golden light in the dark."
Seria pretended to think.
"This ability, big brother? Don't you have any other special abilities?" Seraph nodded. "Yes, this ability." Standing in front of Barrier spoke up, a boy with short black hair and elegant black clothes. Jaren spoke. "What? This ability is quite weak. Look at mine." Jaren held up something.
It was a beautiful green sword, resembling a toy wooden sword. It was as long as Jaren. "This is my magical item. It's called the Wooden Sword. A level two weapon. "How about level two?" Jaren proudly showed off his sword.
Jaren secretly glanced at Barrier's face. Seria looked puzzled. "What do you mean? What can a magic weapon do? My brother isn't good at it "Let's fight a little. My brother is a master at planning." Seria wouldn't let anyone look down on her brother. Seria was about to speak when Seraph's hand covered her mouth.
Seria glared at Seraph angrily, struggling to speak. Seraph looked at Jaren, who was looking at the two children with a puzzled expression. "It's a wonderful magical item. Please take care of me."
Jaren nodded, about to say something to Barrier. The sound of something being dragged came from outside the testing room. "Rumble...!" The sound of a large blade dragging something, leaving blade marks on the floor. All the children turned to look in the direction of the sound.
A petite girl with blue hair dragged a sword as hard as pitch-black stone. The blade wasn't very sharp, but it was too large for her. Her name was Zenon, who had received a curse-level magical weapon. Zenon stood there, waiting, staring at everyone. Seraph turned to look with interest.
[This kid has such a large weapon? I'm saddened when I look at my own. It's so large it's noticeable. This is one of the three gifted children.]
Time passed, and each child received a magical weapon. The old woman invigilator walked over and looked at the young children who would become future warriors.
"Well then, don't forget to come here tomorrow. We'll give you each an energy stone, one at a time, divided equally. The method of use is to absorb the energy stone into your body. The one who can create the first skill will be considered a first-class warrior.
Each person's abilities are the same. Only the most skilled can create new ones. Tomorrow, we'll test your first skill. We'll then evaluate your class placement. There are four levels.
There's Class S, which is classified as a special class that only geniuses can enter. Class A, Class B, and finally Class C, which are categorized by proficiency. Everyone can strive to reach Class S or the special class if they perform exceptionally well.
Well then, welcome to Seren Tenshin Academy. This is the blessing of all warriors of all ages. Warriors of all ages have said:
There are no magical items that cannot be countered, only weak users. That's all, and they can disperse.
The children dispersed. Seraph walked with Seria, followed by Baria. Seraph stood by the carriage, watching Seria, who appeared delighted with a single Level 1 Energy Stone. Seria held the Energy Stone intently. "Brother, look! Today, my little sister will be training. Look! Someday, she will become the ninth-rank martial artist everyone dreams of becoming." Seria smiled as she looked at Baria.
Standing on Seraph's side,
"So, Princess Baria, what do you plan to do now? Will you come with us?" Baria smiled. Seraph replied on Baria's behalf. "Baria and I have something to do, so you should go back first." Seraph ordered Seria to go back first, watching the golden Line of Fortune extend from Baria's body and head in another direction.
[The Line of Fortune came this way. There's definitely something good about the barrier. I'll just do this for you.] The line of fortune that Seraph saw was heading in one direction.
