Mephas Academy is an influential institution in the Mephas Kingdom. There are ten classes in it. Each of these classes has a title. About two hundred boys and girls get the opportunity to enter the academy every year. This number is very insignificant compared to the population of the entire Mephas Kingdom. Although nobles have more opportunities to enter the academy, it does not mean that commoners do not have any opportunities.
This time, a total of 201 boys and girls have entered the academy. The number is the same as every time. The academy test was taken yesterday, where the boys and girls who passed have arrived in the huge auditorium of the academy today. All the new ones have been brought here for their final test. The boys and girls who passed yesterday have been divided into three divisions. The names of the three divisions are Aura Division, Mana Division and Pran Division respectively. According to these three divisions, three energy users have been separated. According to each division, two lines have been created. One for boys and the other for girls. When entering the academy, someone's Nobel title does not work here, so Nobels and common people have been placed in the same line. Due to which a lot of quarrels are being created in the line on the first day. The main reason for the quarrels is that the Nobels do not want to stand in the same line with common people.
-->>How dare you stand in the same line with me. How dare you, a poor commoner, be so bold? Do you know my name? I am a son of the Daraba family.
-->>Young Master of the Daraba Family This is not your Daraba family. Rather, this is Mephas Academy. We did not enter here through the power of the family like you. We entered through our own hard work.
Hearing this from an ordinary boy, the son of the Daraba family was about to grab the boy by the collar and hit him, and the entire auditorium started shaking. He could not control his body. A teacher standing in front of the line had just entered the auditorium, holding a huge Long Heavy Sword in his hand. He had placed it on the floor and placed his hand on the handle. Something was coming out of his body that made most of the boys and girls in the auditorium fall to their knees. Everyone was so scared in an instant that they thought they were going to die.
-->>Is Mephas Academy the property of someone here's father? If so, can he come forward?
The teacher said it very loudly. By now, 80% of the boys and girls had fallen to their knees. The remaining 19% of the boys and girls were trembling with fear. There were only 1% of the boys and girls who, due to their slightly higher mental abilities, were feeling a slight fear, even though it was nothing serious.
-->>The academy has several rules. The most important of which is that everyone must obey them. Everyone means everyone, not even the children of the Duke or the children of the King.
The teacher paused for a moment after saying that. This time there was no word between the lines. All the Nobel children have to endure this. They know they won't have to endure it for long. Because once they enter the academy, the teachers won't interfere in their petty affairs.
-->>A lot of knowledge was given about all the rules of the academy in the test yesterday. So I am presenting just one rule from there to everyone. If you fight within the academy or try to harm any student of the academy with your power or family title, whoever he is, he will be expelled from the academy in no time.
-->>Sir, stop intimidating the boys and girls. It would have been beneficial for us if a few were expelled. The academy does not accept children who do not know how to behave properly. Along with the title, everyone's education has also fallen to the ground.
-->>Madam Helen, you are once again looking at the Nobel Prize winners in a bad light. If you find out the fault, you will see that it was the commoners who did it.
-->>Be it a commoner or a Nobel, this is not their home to use as they please. This is an academy, where no one's title will work.
With the arrival of two teachers, there were a total of three teachers in the auditorium. Sir Azro who is the teacher of Aura Division, Madam Helen the teacher of Pran Division, Madam Diara the teacher of Mana Division. After the three teachers arrived, Madam Helen started saying,
-->>Hilarian Division boys and girls, follow me. You will not need any test. You will all get the title of E class. After a month, you will have your first test where you will be able to change classes on your own.
Saying this, Madam Helen left. And only ten Pran energy users left after her. Pran energy is very rare. Out of twenty thousand boys and girls who participated in the test, only eight girls and two boys were found to be Pran energy users. This shows how Rear these energy users are.
-->>As always, Madam Helen's test ends here. The test for all of you in the Aura Division will be very easy. You will have to run around this entire academy ten times. The time is until sunset today. Anyone who cannot pass ten rounds will not be allowed to enter the academy from tomorrow.
Sir Azro said it loudly. The auditorium was empty as most of the boys and girls were in the Aura division. 95% of the Aura division is boys. There are very few girls. Aura users require serious training, where most girls give up.
With 121 Aura Users gone, only 70 Mana Users remained in the auditorium. The number seemed relatively high to Diarra. Although the tests of the other two divisions were completed quite easily, his test was not that easy. Of the three energies, the strongest is currently his own energy, as he thinks. No matter how he looks from the outside, he is a pure blood noble, so he hates the commoners in his heart. Every year, he expels most of the commoners from the academy for various reasons. He can do everything for the noble children, but for a commoner, he is nothing but a poisonous sword.
-->>My test won't be as easy as the other two divisions. Everyone here participated in the energy test yesterday, so everyone has the experience of yesterday. So I don't think this test will take much time.
The teacher looked at everyone and said, "What are you doing?" He held a stone in his hand that he had brought when he entered the auditorium. He glanced at the 70 children in front of him. It didn't take him long to separate the Nobles from the Commoners. He said again,
-->>Yesterday everyone has seen the Energy Stone, but this stone in my hand is not an Energy Stone. It is called a Mana Stone. They are found in special places in the tower. Mana Stone is a special magical energy stone through which different Mana energies are detected. Attributes are the names of those different energies. Mana can take different forms. We have named those forms Attributes.
Teacher Diara paused for a moment. Her gaze suddenly fell on a boy in the line. Diara's eyebrows furrowed as she caught sight of the boy's eyes. She didn't realize that everyone there was listening to her lecture silently, everyone was listening with interest, all eyes were on her eyes, but there was one eye in which Diara didn't find any interest. Diara got a little angry, but now she had to be careful.
It has been five years since the new principal joined the academy. He was never interested in the new boys' tests. But this time the principal is watching their tests from the VIP chamber of the auditorium. So Diara cannot be mistreated. The principal has warned Diara several times that she should follow the rules of the academy herself this time. So she doesn't want to make any wrong decisions. Because even though she is the teacher of the academy, the principal has all the power. One word from her mouth and the teacher Diara will be expelled from the academy. Not only that, there is also a possibility of losing their noble title in the kingdom. Diara doesn't understand why the principal has taken interest in the new boys and girls, but she has to keep her ego under control. Putting aside all those thoughts, she started saying again,
-->>There are four basic attributes. Fire, Air, Water and Earth. 90% of people have the possibility of unlocking these four attributes as their first attribute. It is not that one will sit and unlock only one attribute. By maintaining control over time and Mana, people can unlock two to three attributes. Apart from the basic attributes, there are various types of attributes, which are Lightning, Light, Dark, Poison, Ice, Plant, Sound, Space, Gravity etc.
The teacher stopped and he extended his right hand, which held the stone. A tree trunk emerged from the ground. And formed a small table. Where the teacher placed the stone in his hand.
-->>This is my Plant attribute. In this way, everyone will be able to use different spells with their attributes. First of all, if someone here unlocks an attribute, they will get the title of E or F class according to their attribute. It is very rare for fifteen-year-old children to have two attributes. However, I hope that there are many of you who can unlock two attributes. Those who unlock two attributes will achieve the titles of A, B, C, D class according to their attributes. In a thousand years, no one has been able to unlock three attributes at once, but even then, if there is one of you, he will achieve the titles of A+, A, B class according to his attribute. However, everyone should remember one thing. Those who cannot unlock even one attribute will have to enter the academy again through the test after a year.
Everyone understood the teacher's words that the Nobel Prize was not for boys and girls but for commoners. Anyway, the test started with the girls.
Everyone was unlocking their attributes one by one. If there is a little bit of energy in the body, then there is a possibility of unlocking that attribute when in contact with the Mana Stone. The number of Mages has increased a lot since the arrival of the Tower. A high level stone can unlock its attribute even for a user with a little Mana energy, but the Academy uses low level stones. Those who can unlock attributes in low level stones have the opportunity to become Elite Mages in the future. Therefore, the Academy does not choose Elites according to this rule.

(As Alex)
If I had known it would be so boring, I would have come a little late. Maybe having too much knowledge is not good at all. Since Amma had explained everything about Mana to me, this teacher's lecture seemed boring. But interesting things were happening before my eyes. First, girls were given a chance. It doesn't say 'Ladies First'. That's happening here too. The number of girls in our total number may be a little higher. Out of seventy people, forty girls and thirty boys. The number is not bad, but the question is how many will survive. I found out in my energy test yesterday that I am a Mana User. Dad cried a lot all night. Maybe he hoped that I would become an Aura user like him. I think Mana is the most powerful energy, so I was proud of myself. According to Amma, the most powerful of all attributes are Fire and Lightning. The users who have unlocked these two attributes are very few in the entire Empire. If you count them by hand, there will be no more than ten. But they are all so powerful that they can destroy a city in a small kingdom. Just like my mother said, I realized that both attributes are very special.
Out of the forty girls, only twenty girls have unlocked their attributes. The remaining twenty have had to leave the academy. They are disappointed. Their opportunity is not lost here. All twenty of them will be transferred to the Mana School in the capital. From there, if their attributes are unlocked, they have the opportunity to enter the academy again through a test. They will also be able to enter the academy through the test next year, but if this attribute is not unlocked, it will be canceled again.
Of the twenty girls who unlocked attributes, four girls only unlocked two attributes. First, Duke Mandela's daughter Fire and Light, Duke Uexkul's daughter Water and Ice, the other two are Marcus Veresvuo's twin daughters who both unlocked Light and Plant attributes at the same time. I was surprised to see that none of the other twenty girls unlocked Fire or Lightning attributes. As Amma said, Lightning is the most Rear attribute. Which has a one in a thousand chance of unlocking. The rest of the girls unlocked most of the Water, Plant or Air attributes.
-->>I was not as disappointed as I had hoped. The daughter of the Duke and Marcus is truly talented.
The teacher said this with great joy. All the girls went to the other side of the auditorium and settled down. Since their test was over, ours would begin now.
* * * *
The girls are filled with joy. They have been able to enter the academy after so much hardship, so they can't contain their joy. The two Duke's daughters are standing side by side. They are surrounded by other girls. Marcus' twin daughters are also there. Everyone is congratulating the four of them for unlocking the two attributes. But both of the Duke's daughters left them in the empty space. No one else followed them. However, they started talking to Marcus' twin daughters.
-->>I thought our attributes would be the same. But now it seems like our attributes are enemies of each other.
Duke Mandela's daughter Myra spoke up. Duke Uexkul's daughter Elin answered her,
-->>Since our attributes are completely opposite to each other, the competition between us will be much greater.
-->>That's right.
Elin stared at the line of boys for a while and then said,
-->>Who did you give your invitation letter to? Did he/she pass the test?
Myra glanced at the line. They were standing so far behind the teacher that they couldn't see Alex, who was standing at the end of the line.
-->>I can't see it from here.
-->>Your letter has just been wasted, so don't give the commoners much of a chance. No matter how hard they try, they won't be able to do anything special in the end.
-->>Why are you angry over such a small matter? Leave it alone. First, notice if you like any of these guys.
-->>Neither do you. Why should I notice boys?
-->>The Second Prince is chasing you like crazy. So I think you'll need someone to save you from him.
Myra made Elin angry. Elin didn't listen to her. Because they were focused on the boys' test. Duke Uexkull's eldest son, Edward von Uexkull, was taking the test with his sister. He was a year older than Elin. If most people in the capital were questioning his identity,
-->>Elaine, I was surprised to see Edward. I didn't expect Edward to enter the academy with you.
-->>I have no interest in whether he enters or not.
A look of discomfort appeared on Elin's face. A moment ago, Elin, who had been laughing, joking, and getting angry with Moira, now had a look of hatred on her face.
-->>If Edward weren't your brother, I would have run away with him.
-->>You leave him out. I don't want to hear him.
By now, two boys had taken part in the test. Neither of them could unlock any attribute. As soon as Edward von Wexkull placed his hand on the Mana Stone, lightning began to shoot out from all four sides of the stone. This surprised everyone in the auditorium.
-->>Lightning attribute!
-->>I first saw the Lightning attribute unlock.
-->>Is this really happening in front of me?
The boys and girls in the entire auditorium were surprised. It was surprising that Lightning was a very valuable attribute that had a very low chance of unlocking. Teacher Diara gave a light smile. She was surprised herself, but she could only expect this much from the Duke's son. Although Edward's mother was an ordinary commoner, he still had Duke Avesta's blood in his body. It was clear from his Lightning attribute that Edward was the Duke's real son.
Everyone was surprised only by Edward's Lightning attribute. But Edward's talent did not stop there. The lightning around the Mana Stone moved away and now a round bubble of water was formed around it. Which meant that Edward had also unlocked the Water attribute. Like father, like son.
-->>I must say your brother is very talented. One day he might surpass your father.
-->>What's there to be happy about? After all, he's nothing but a shadow of others.
-->>Elaine, your thoughts haven't changed yet.
-->>Don't change it. Boys who live by their father's identity, how can they call themselves men? I hate to look at them.
-->>I don't know when your illness will be cured. But I don't think Duke Avest will be able to marry his daughter. Well, Elin, tell me what kind of boy you like?
-->>A boy who is proud of his own identity, not his family's identity, a boy who can bring change to the world, a boy who will be like a fierce tiger, a boy who will have no emotion towards the world.
-->>You really won't find a boy like that in your entire life.
Myra paused and said. She was thinking about Elin. It's been two years since Elin changed a lot. Myra didn't know why or how. But Elin changed a lot.
Elin grabbed a thin bracelet on her left hand with her right hand and said slowly,
-->>I don't have to look for it, it will come to me on its own. At least it will come for this, if not for me.
The bracelet on Elin's hand suddenly glowed a bright red. No one noticed it.

Tell me how it is.
