(Mephas Academy)
From the academy, only one team has been selected to enter the tower test from among those who participated in the first test. So they will not need to participate in any second test. On the other hand, all the remaining nine teams have to participate in the second test. Although the academy has not released the news of the dead students, the news of their survival is still spreading throughout the capital. They died because they were weak or because of their own negligence. Although the principal safely delivered them to their homes through his magical item. And this is a big deal for them. The academy will not give them a second chance. They will have to wait for the second test again or be admitted to schools in other cities.
All the students have been gathered in the training room. The room is huge, so the number of students seemed small. Out of the total two hundred students, about one hundred are standing here. Two hundred students were the first to get into the academy. But as a result of various tests, that number has now come to one hundred. When all the students were standing for a long time, the principal entered. The three teachers were controlling everything by now. But they don't know much about the test. The principal will do it himself.
-->>This test will not take any time. It will be very easy and simple. Mana and Aura users will have to unlock their second attribute. Only when both factions can unlock their attributes will they be able to enter the tower.
Everyone was surprised to hear the principal's words. It was surprising, because they had heard that they would get the chance to unlock the second attribute after the test. But who knew that there would be a test for them.
"I don't like taking these test mests. But who gives up such free energy?" (Principal thinks)
Basically, the source of power for both an aura user and a mana user is their attributes. Although not much attention is paid to the attributes of aura users, they are still very important. Aura users use different attributes to strengthen their attacks. Just as a mana user needs attributes, an aura user also needs them. These days, several aura users have unlocked their attributes without their knowledge, but most of them cannot do that. The principal explained the rules well to everyone once again. Healers, meaning life energy users, have the opportunity to enter the tower test without doing anything. But a mana user must unlock at least two attributes and an aura user must unlock at least one attribute to enter the tower test.
Every student was very annoyed. But still they had nothing to do here. They were not stupid people. They had heard before that this principal of Mephas took every exam in a strange way. Whereas the exams of other capital or empire academies were also comparatively easy. Since they had nothing to do here, and it seemed comparatively easy to them, it didn't take them long to get over their annoyance. They were divided into three again, like the first exam, when everyone tried to enter the academy.
Since there were ten life users, they didn't have to do anything. They stood behind their teacher Helen and waited. On the other hand, one by one, the mana and aura users were getting the chance to unlock their attributes. Initially, two hundred and one students entered the academy, but in the first attribute test, out of the seventy mana users, thirty had to leave the academy. Those who could not unlock any attribute in the first attribute test. On the other hand, no aura user's attribute test was conducted first. So, one hundred and twenty-one of them were still supposed to remain. But those who died in the survival test lost the academy and the opportunity to participate in the test. And most of them were aura users.
There are thirty-five mana users and seventy-five aura users here. Two lines have been formed, one with mana users and the other with aura users. According to the line, two teachers are busy unlocking their division's attributes. Azro and Diara are standing in front of them with two stones. All the mana students are trying to unlock their second attribute one by one without wasting their time. There are three or four of them who will try to unlock the third attribute. Since the principal has said that mana users will be able to participate in the tower test only after unlocking the second attribute, Elin, Moira, Eba-Zeba, and Edward have nothing to worry about. But the others are still nervous about themselves.
One by one, all the Mana Division students tried to unlock their attributes. They placed their hands on the stone as before, and the stone showed their attributes. The previous stone was of a low level, so it was only possible to unlock one attribute with it. But those whose second attribute was very strong would have both attributes unlocked at once. People with one attribute were very rare. Everyone unlocked their second or third attribute through training and hard work. Although it was very rare to unlock two or three attributes at once, it did not mean that they would not be able to unlock them later. If you search within Mephas, you would find many who had both attributes.
Although if you look at the tower, two attributes are nothing. But in this Mephas, it is only for the nobles. Since there are many nobles in Mephas, there are many people who have two attributes among them. But it is not easy to see a person who has unlocked two attributes at once. Anyway, let's get back to the original story. All the students unlocked their attributes. Although most of them did not unlock the second attribute, there was still one thing to see. Elin bin Uexkul first unlocked the water and ice attributes, and then she unlocked the third attribute. No one else who had two attributes could unlock the third attribute. The third attribute of the duke's daughter Elin was also to be seen. By unlocking the fire attribute, she took the words out of the mouths of the entire crowd. No one said anything, but they just stared at Elin.
"I never imagined I would see a situation like this. Duke Uexkul's daughter will really be something in the future. Anyway, her energy will serve me well." (Principal thinks)
The principal has created a barrier in the entire room, hiding everyone's eyes. Like a huge auditorium, all the energy in the room will be absorbed, since the level of energy absorption from the body is negligible, no one will notice it. But if someone uses energy, it will be absorbed by the barrier. And the principal is doing all this hidden from everyone's eyes. Although the energy is very low, the principal's target is none other than one person. The energy of his target is a hundred times stronger than the rest.
There were many things to see today. But the main thing was Alex. The last of the mana users to unlock his attribute. And he grabbed everyone's attention by unlocking the fire attribute. Fire is a very powerful attribute, which only nobles get the chance to unlock. Out of a hundred, only five percent of commoners get the chance to unlock the fire or lightning attribute. But the majority of them are also in old age. So Alex once again caught everyone's attention. Previously, he had unlocked the dark attribute and written his name in the weakest student's list and caught everyone's attention, but now he has unlocked a powerful attribute and caught everyone's attention. However, Alex was a little disappointed. Because like before, the mana stone broke after his fire attribute was unlocked. And all the energy collected in it spread throughout the room in the form of smoke.
It didn't take long for the smoke to clear. So without wasting time, the Aura Division's attributes also started to be unlocked at that time. Most of the Mana Division couldn't unlock their second attribute. Out of the thirty-five people, about five or six people had already unlocked their second attribute. Out of the remaining thirty people, only ten people had unlocked their second attribute. And among them, Elin and Alex only had Fire, and most of the rest had Earth attributes, one had Water, one had Plant, and one had Light.
One by one, the aura users were touching their aura stones. Azro stood in front of the light reddish-white aura stone with his huge two-handed sword on his back. On the other hand, his students were trying to unlock their attributes one by one. Since none of them had unlocked an attribute before, most of them unlocked their first attribute. However, only three people unlocked two attributes. Just as a wizard needs attributes, the more attributes he has, the better. Similarly, a knight also needs attributes. When an aura user uses his energy to attack with his hand or a weapon, he will deal more damage than if he attacked using attributes.
-->>So the test is over. I was very tired. (Principal)
The principal said this slowly. He was very tired, because he had to wait for a long time. Since the number of students in the Aura Division was large, he had to wait even longer. He looked at the students. Most of them had a look of disappointment on their faces. Many of them were not happy with their attributes, and many were not happy that they could not unlock the second or first attribute. So the principal removed everyone's disappointment.
-->>Thank you again for everyone's best efforts. There is no reason for anyone to worry. Everyone present here will be able to participate in the tower test. Although I said that they will not be able to, everyone present here will have the opportunity to enter the tower. (Principal)
Everyone's faces were filled with surprise at the principal's words. No one could understand what this crazy principal was saying one after another.
-->>Maybe you can feel your own power. Think back to the past. When you first came to this place, what were you like then and what are you like now? You have certainly become much stronger. Those who still think they are not strong, they are the only ones who will not be able to participate in the Tower Test. (Principal)
-->>The Empire has sent me a special notice. Although it was my request. Usually, new people are sent for the tower test after six months and the next ones are sent after six months. But all of you are special here. Each of you has the power to finish the tower test. So after fifteen days, one hundred and ten of you will be sent for the tower test. (Principal)
-->>If someone is not ready yet, then they can enter for the test during the six-month interval. (Principal)

(As Alex)
-->>The principal is a really strange person. There is no guarantee of what he will say at any time.
I said it out loud. I came home from the academy. It was afternoon, so I was taking a little rest. I took a little break from training today, because I have a lot of thoughts in my head. And I need to sort them out.
Today I unlocked the Fire attribute. To my surprise, when I touched the Mana Stone, a notification from the system popped up on my screen.
-""Congratulations Master. You have unlocked the Fire attribute due to the effect of Phoenix Blessing.""-
The message was like this. Phoenix Blessing is a very annoying thing for me. Although it increases the power of all my fire related skills or spells, it still has many conditions. And I don't like any such conditions. This thing is making me like a husband in another car. I have understood one thing. Since Phoenix is a bird whose source is fire or in other words, the source of fire attribute is Phoenix, I got the fire attribute for that reason.
-->>Flame.
I was lying down. And in this state, I brought my hand to my face and chanted a spell. Fire was created from my hand. Which was controlled according to my control. Since I was able to control the dark attribute very well, I had no problem using fire spells. But I am not interested in this. The principal, whom I had seen before. But today, I first suspected him. The main subject of suspicion was Mio. Mio is a girl who has been erased from everyone's memories. It would be wrong to say from memories. Rather, she has disappeared from reality. The Zara I had never heard of was in our team and died during a fight with the demonic hybrid fox. Although I had stopped thinking about this matter, but today, after seeing the principal, I remembered it again. Although I cannot doubt the principal, one thing I am sure of is that his daughter might be Mio. And the principal might have some hand behind Mio's disappearance. Although they didn't look the same, I noticed the same necklace on both of their necks. The same necklace that the principal still wore today.
-->>Hey Alex.
I was deep in my thoughts. But suddenly Lucifer entered from somewhere. I was lying in my room. He came through the window and spoke to me from the window. I didn't understand how he got my location? And I asked a very silly question. He is the most powerful Demon Prince, so it won't matter to him.
[The episode was boring. Yes, it really was. I'm not feeling well, I don't even know what I'm writing, bro.]
