Chapter 4 - chapter 4

*Reika wakes up in Everts' boarding house in the capital*

Reika: *yawns* Good morning, world...what do you want to do today... Of course, the academy entrance exam*smiles*

*1 week ago*

Reika: Uncle Barley, what's up? Calling me*smiles*

Barley: Wow, he seems really happy. *hands me the registration form*

Reika: Wow*eyes sparkle* Heero academy registration form

Barley: Registration is in the capital, huh?

Reika: Oh, so registration is in the capital, not the academy.

Barley: Yes, because there will be a magic exam too. Remember, the quota for ordinary people is only two people.

Reika: Only two people, so the success rate is only 1% *surprised*

Barley: Well, I have a feeling there are only 10 people who will be your opponents.

Reika: I don't understand.

Barley: You'll understand when you get there. Andrian will take you there...you can survive there alone, right?

Reika: Of course you can....

*The day of the entrance exam begins, Reika walks to the army training ground at the palace*

Reika: Finally the day I've been waiting for *excited* I'm tired of waiting for 3 days in the boarding house, 3 days of travel from Uncle Barley's house *sigh* and finally the day has arrived

Reika: Wow, the market is busier than yesterday

*Suddenly a mysterious girl falls in front of Reika*

Reika: Hey, you're okay *hugs her head and holds her shoulder*

*The girl looks at Reika with a vulnerable look*

.... : Please help me, there will be a robber carrying a magic weapon, only one person

Reika: (Huh, why do this person's eyes are different, one is yellow, the other is blue) Who is it?

...: That's the person *points*

Reika: *sees the person she pointed to* (a strange girl, how could it be that person *sees the mysterious person carrying a knife* I take my words back) I'll go meet her, you wait here

*The girl just nods*

Reika: Mm, Uncle, can you see what in my pocket uncle

Uncle: Who are you why are you ordering me

Reika: Come on uncle I just want to see what's in my pocket like there's something sharp *grin*

*He takes Reika hostage and holds a knife to her neck*

Uncle: *screams* Pay attention if you want this child to survive then hand over your belongings or else I'll kill you all

Reika: Uncle they won't care anyway no one knows me here

Uncle: Shut up *presses even harder and slightly injures Reika's neck*

... : (damn she's so useless) *tries to get up and get closer but falls because her body is already weak and has no mana left*

*Everyone doesn't care a little about Reika being held hostage*

Uncle: Okay if they don't care windblade *wind that forms like blades appears around her* attack

*One of the magics is aimed at a small child, the rest are aimed at the merchant stalls*

Reika: Frostwall

*Suddenly a wall of ice protects the small child*

*Everyone is shocked and panicked especially mother from that kid*

Reika: Pyroburst

*Hand pointing the knife at Reika burns*

Uncle: AHHH HOT!!!

Reika: Frostbind

*The mysterious uncle's body is encased in ice and can't move*

Uncle: Hey!!! Damn brat, let go

Reika: No way, I can't hear you *covers her ears*

Uncle: Bastard!!

*Royal guards come to calm the commotion*

*The mysterious girl pulls Reika away from the commotion*

Reika: Hey, where are we going? Isn't it good that the royal guards came?

....: Shut up and follow me... I don't want us to get involved.

Reika: Okay.

*Arriving in a quiet place away from the crowd, the girl falls, but luckily Reika catches her so she falls into his arms.*

...: *Shocked* Warm *Hugs Reika* Just a moment, please.

Reika: *Her face starts to turn red* Hey, what are you doing?

*The girl is vulnerable, hugging Reika so she can't bear to let her go.*

*A few minutes later*

....: *Removes her hug* Oh, I'm sorry, I was rude. *Her face is slightly red.*

Reika: Yes, it's okay, but why did you suddenly hug me?

Clara: I'll tell you, but first, introduce myself. My name is Clara Zevienthe. You can call me Clara.
