�Then, I�ll get going. Please, feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything.�

After receiving the documents from Shirone, he took his first step as a student of the magic academy.

�Attention!�

The moment he crossed the gates of the magic academy, he was greeted with salutes. This made Shirone�s heart thump loudly.

�Alpheas Magic Academy!�

What could he learn here? And what kind of people would he meet in a place called the birthplace of geniuses?

The numerous buildings that were scraping the sky seemed to welcome Shirone.

The academy was using a whole mountain over a site area of 75.425 square kilometers.

When including dormitories, there were a total of 22 buildings. And there were more than 40 training grounds.

Despite the fact there were only 32 teachers, The total number of students attending was 420. And while this may seem low, in reality, this amount was equal to the best academy in the kingdom.

Entering a building where the reception desk was located, Shirone saw students with glowing, radiant faces walking around.

After submitting his documents, while waiting, Shirone looked at the curriculum pinned against a wall.

�They sure are systematic!�

The Alpheas Magic Academy was run using a system called the Class Ten, where classes 10 to 8 were Beginner classes, 7 to 4 were Intermediate, and 3 to 1 were the Graduate/Advanced classes.

The Advanced classes used relative evaluation, and only 10 out of the maximum 30 students could graduate.

�Only 10 students?�

Considering that the graduation test was held once a year, that meant 20 prodigies failed every year.

�You must be Shirone.�

When he turned his head, he saw Alpheas, who looked no different compared to five years ago, walking towards him.

Shirone bowed politely, recalling that this place was a magic academy.

�Hello. My name is Shirone.�

�I think we�ve met before. Do you remember me?�

There was no way Shirone could forget the incident that pushed him to dream of becoming a mage.

�Yes, I do. Thank you. I am truly grateful.�

�Well, we�ll get to those talks eventually. But for now, come. You have to go take the entrance test.�

�Hm? A test?�

Shirone was taken aback.

He hadn�t learned anything yet, so how was he supposed to take a test?� JrNovels.com
