Chapter 37: Assessment
Chapter 37: Assessment
Seven months had passed since the Holy Alliance meeting. The period of time for the enrollment for the Advanced Academies had finally arrived.
All the kids below the age of ten were going to get their assessment so that they can be admitted to their dream academy. Two weeks were going to be spent just on this assessment.
All the children who were aspiring to enter Advanced academies already arrived at the royal capital, Stolz City, just to get an assessment.
Representatives of various advanced academies came here to offer the children they deemed talented to join their academies as students.
The Walkiria Kingdom currently had 5 advanced academies within it. Four of these academies were found in each of the territories that were governed by the kingdom's four dukes. While the number one advanced academy, not just in the Walkiria Kingdom, but in the whole Holy Alliance, was located here in Stolz City.
Currently, Kraftvoll and Princess Kyomi were preparing to depart to the assessment site.
The assessment will take place at the Warrior King plaza of Stolz City. This was the center area of Stolz City where important events were taking place.
After their preparation, Kraftvoll and Princess Kyomi finally departed from Feuersturm Castle through the royal carriage.
Although the assessment site was not that far from the castle, they were still escorted by the carriage under the King's crest. The reason for this was to show authority to everyone that was present in the assessment.
After several minutes, Kraftvoll and the princess' carriage arrived at the Warrior King Plaza.
There were already many people lining up to have an assessment. When their carriage arrived, all the people suddenly turned their gaze toward their direction.
"It was a carriage with the Royal Family's crest!"
People were talking with each about the carriage that just arrived.
After a few moments, Kraftvoll and Princess Kyomi went down the carriage. Everyone was shocked by seeing someone unfamiliar walking with the princess.
"Who's that kid that came with the princess?"
"Maybe he's the King's student, that child who was acclaimed as a prodigy."
The spectators were gossiping among themselves. Princess Kyomi and Kraftvoll didn't mind any of this and just went on their way to the registration area.
When they reached the registration area, the person who was in-charge insisted to give the princess and Kraftvoll special treatment so they won't need to wait in line. However, the princess was too humble to accept this so she rejected the idea and waited in line just like everyone else.
After that, these two kids went at the end of the line just like every kid who wanted to get an assessment.
On the center part of Warrior King Plaza, the children were being assessed by the authorities.
"You're just a lower seishin warrior! Disqualified! Next!"
After hearing this, the boy who was getting assessed walked out disappointed. This child thought that he will be able to fool the one in-charge but he didn't know that the one who assessed him is an expert in this field.
The next in line went to the one who assesses the cultivation rank. The man-in-charge assessed the kid's cultivation. A moment later, the assessor smiled.
"Oh, you've already reached the middle stage of seishin warrior rank. Go to the next station. Next!"
The girl, who was just assessed, jumped in joy after hearing this. She bowed to the one who assessed her and finally went to the next station of the assessment.
The first part of the test was to identify whether the kid had reached the rank of cultivation required to be enrolled.
The next station's line was much shorter than the first line at the previous station.
"Your bones were only nine years old so you passed. Go to the next station. Next!"
"You're already above ten years old. You are not qualified to enter the assessment. Next!"
The second part of the test was to identify whether the child exceeded or not the required age by identifying the age of their bones.
While the third part was the practical assessment. The children were asked to demonstrate spells that they knew and the representatives of the advance academies will offer them to enroll in their own academy when they saw potential in the child's future.
The other who passed these three previous tests were asked to put their hands in a seishin crystal like in the elemental assessment.
The reason for this was to know how great of talent that the child has. The more someone had elemental affinities, the higher his or her future potential is in seishin cultivation.
"Affinity to wind element. Middle Seishin Warrior ranked practitioner." said the assessor.
One of the representatives stood up and said, "Our Sky Light Academy is willing to accept you as our student."
The other one of the representatives also stood up and said, "We, from the Elsolmose Academy, is also willing to accept you."
The other three advanced academies' representatives were not willing to offer their willingness for the child to join them so the child chose what school was better for him.
"Senior, I'm willing to join the Sky Light Academy!"
