At Dinner, they all had a surplus meal while talking about their next course of action.

    "Hmm, I have registered all of you, So you all just have to go to Academy Tomorrow and pass the test, nothing else" Alina said.

    "Thank You, Aunt Alina" Jake and others thanked her.

    "There is no need to thank me, just make sure to win the best rankings possible" Alina smiled and said.

    "Where is Master Tom?" mark asked not seeing him at the Dinner table.

    "Sir, Tom, is touring the City" Alina said.

    Mark nodded and then asked " Can you tell us about the test?"

    "hmm, not much but I can tell you about last year test, Firstly and I guess the most basic Core Test, and It will happen at the Gate, only then will you all be allowed to enter inside the Academy gate" Alina then started explaining about the tests.

    "Nest is Combat Power test, it is divided into grades, Common, Good, Excellent and Superb Grade" Alina

    "What is the meaning of this Grading?" Jake asked.

    "Common means, defeating a single enemy at the same rank as you, Good is simultaneously defeating 5 enemy as the same rank as you, Excellent is defeating One rank above you enemy and Superb is defeating Two ranks above you enemy" Alina

    "The higher grade you receive, the better the rankings you might get, this two are the only one I can explain to you all, there are other tests but I can''t tell you all about them" Alina smiled and said.

    "it''s okay, what ever test it''s going to be we will just pass it" Jake smiled and said, and other nodded.

    Seeing this Alina smiled too and said " it''s good that you are all confident but always remember, overconfident is the source of defeat"

    "we know, Aunt Alina " Jake and others.

    All of them then peacefully ate their meal and went back to sleep, for the next big day.

    Waking up next day all of them got ready and the boarded the carriage waiting for them, and Alfred is once again accompanying them.

    As their carriage moved past the now silent roads of the city, Jake could not help but ask " Why is it so deserted?"

    "it''s because of the today''s entrance test of Celestaria Academy" Alfred replied

    "I still didn''t understand" Jake.

    "Most people, will be going to watch the Entrance test, it''s like a big festival, here is deserted but as we reached the Academy, you will start seeing the crowd" Alfred said and just as he said, the moment they reach the Academy, they saw a massive crowd.

    Although it was crowded but the path leading to Academy gate was totally empty.

    Their carriage stopped some distance from the Academy, and as they disembarked, several people rushed to them

    "Hello young master, take this special brooch, it will definitely help with the Test" ???

    "Take this special stone, it''s lucky" ???

    "Okay, what this about?" Jake and others looked at the crowd and asked.

    "It''s Ex" Jake replied and then Mark snatched it away.

    "Nope, not gonna leave such a dangerous thing in your hand" Mark said and then passed the Gate key to Alfred and told him to give it to Alina until they are ready to raid it.

    Jake shrugged and didn''t say anything, after all it''s true, A gate key of such rank can indeed cause many problems.

    Alfred absent mindlessly took the Key and nodded while thinking ''it''s a Dream right?''

    Leaving the gobsmacked Alfred they reached the tent near the Gate, where the core appraisal Teat is happening.

    "I will go first" Jimmy said and then entered the tent, inside was nothing but a table with two students seating behind it.

    "Just touch the crystal" One of them pointed at the crystal placed on the table and said.

    Jimmy nodded and then placed his hands on the Crystal and then after a second crystal ball shined with bright purple light.

    Seeing this they nodded and then asked Jimmy his name and affinity, they, then scribbled his information and then gave him a ticket with 79 number.

    Jimmy then thanked them and exited the tent,

    Next then Jake entered and came out holding a ticket followed by Mark and Emily.

    Together they then reached the Gate and showed the Ticket to guards standing there and they granted them access.

    The Academy, a marvel of architectural brilliance, unfolded before Jake and his companions as they stepped beyond the grand gates

    Entering inside they saw a variety of people waiting at the Garden of the Academy and their races varied too, from Dragons to Elves to Fey folks.

    Each Race youngster standing their with confidence oozing out of them.

    As Jake and others entered some eyed them while mostly ignored them.

    "They sure have lot of Pride" Jimmy frowned seeing their mocking eyes.

    "leave it, At test we will show them, who is the boss " Mark stopped Jimmy and said.

    While Jake thought ''It''s really like those cliche novels, face slapping scene, hehehe, interesting''.

    "Jake ...Jake!!" Emily yelling brought him out of his fantasies.

    "Ahh, yes, Emily what is it?" Jake asked looking at Emily.

    "I should be asking that, what happened? You were making weird face earlier" Emily asked and Mark and Jimmy looked at him too.

    "Nothing, I was just thinking about something" Jake waved his and and said.

    Emily eyed him suspiciously while Mark smiled knowingly looking at all the beauties while Jimmy remarked " You must be thinking on how to beat those pride full brats right?"

    Jake : "-_-"

    Mark : "-_-"

    Emily: "-_-"
