Chapter 5 - Exam Season

< Xavier Callahan>

" Your guild ... Wait You have a guild! and you would let me , a bastard join your guild ". How can i believe this, Why is he treating me Well . "You must be thinking Why right , isn't it obvious cause of your profession . I believe strength is the only variable that matters , You birth is of no concern to me , so join my guild . Was that all there was too it ? I Don't Know . I am sure he has some Hidden goal , but this might be my only chance to be treated as an equal in this family.

" Brother Xavier are you okay??" I guess anne had heard everything , she had tears in her eyes "Di-dd You and mom fight " I guess she hasn't grown up completely yet . I patted her head " Don't cry , It's just a disagreement we will make up later" . She immediately became cheerful and said " Okay ! " with a big smile on her face . Wow shae changes her moods too quickly . I looked at Ross and agreed . Even if he had an ulterior motive , he wouldn't be able to do much with a B tier Profession . 

< A WeeK Later >

{ Periwinkle Academy , Eldoria}

" Greetings to all Participants , The Periwinkle Academy Entrance Examination will now begin , You will participate in groups of three . There are 330 examinees today and thus a total of 110 teams will be formed , but only 30 teams that can collect the Obsidian Flags Inside The Witcher's Grove can pass The Entrance test . This Examination does not only test Individual performances but also Teambuilding and cooperation . Good Luck. " 

hmm so.. The legendary Witcher's grove is a mythical training ground belonging to the periwinkle academy , Normally other academied use dungeons with supported invigilators as a test . However Periwinkle is clearly different. This mythical playground has the ability to resurrect the dead as long as they are inside the transmission circle , Hence there won't any casualties . I quickly teamed up with Xavier since we had already decided to partner up , a whole lot of people started approaching us for the third member .

" Shouldn't we accept them , What are you waiting for?" asked Xavier

I thought for a while and answered " A Gamble "

< 6 Minutes before the examination starts >

Almost all the groups had been formed ? " huh what is up with the S rank's group . Has he got some big ego or something"" who knows a genius is beyond our comprehension anyway.Maybe They will fail , would be quite the irony wouldn't it."

< 2 Minutes remaining >

It looks like only our group is remaining two people were remaining ," There is only one girl remaining, let's ask her to join fast " . hmm had I hit the Jackpot , Maybe I had . I Went to talk to the girl , she was very shy and probably on the verge of tears for not getting accepted.

" You are a curse user , aren't you"

She looked very Sad and nodded " There is no way I can Pass The test can't I , I am just a C rank Cursed Mage . I guess as the name suggests I am Cursed . But I know you need a member so pls help me pass this exam ". She was Practically begging at this point . People had a lot of prejudice against cursed users as they were worse than healers and their skills weren't even that good unless they were S or A rank.

" Of course , I will let you join however this is a deal of equal exchange so you owe me a favor after the exam." I can't just let her join my party without a thorough test . In This Examination I will test her to see if she has the willpower to grow .

"By the way , What's Your name? "

" Oh uh- um , Emilia Gordon I am a commoner from Aroe , a small village in the nort-"

"ATTENTION , It is time the Periwink Entrance test Begins , Retrieve the obsidian flag"Suddenly my body felt light , It felt like I was disappearing in the darkness of a shadow.

< Inside the Witcher's Grove >

" Hey dad , Where's Mom ? Dad" 

" hahah-It's all your fault , If Only You were born Normal Maybe She would be here today with us"

I Suddenly woke up in an engrossed panic. " hey are you okay", "I 'm fine" I quickly swatted her hand away . " Shit , I am sorry I didn't mean to get mad at you " .

 " Oh It's fine , i'm used to it" . That's right I forgot she was a commoner . She must have suffered a lot under the nobles when she came here , after all she's a cursed mage on top of being a commoner . but we need to find the Obsidian flags and fast " If it's fine , Can I look at you System Windows. They Both looked a little strange but agreed . " Emilia You go first ".
