The reason why we left home that early was because we didn't want to deal with the crowd that would flock around the entrance of the Academy.
Because in the game, it was shown that there were literally some people that got injured because of the hassle that followed the entrance.
Though, I was not expecting a quest to come around at that time.
<Ding! Quest [Elegance] generated.>
Because of that quest, I decided to show my face that I wasn't planning to show normally.
Though the rewards were worth it since the charisma stat that was sealed normally was partially released, just as it increased with each rank, I have gone upwards.
However, the results were a lot stronger than I had expected.
Because, just as I was walking, people kept giving me the way, which made it a lot easier for both me and Lirienne to enter.
'Power of good looks I guess.'
With that thought, we entered the academy after confirming our identities as exam takers.
One must know that even gaining the right to enter the entrance exam of Ark was a hard task alone.
Because the paperwork or the connections it requires is something nothing easy to accomplish.
Either you need to pay a good amount of money, or you need to have good connections.
Not all the people who think they are talented can enter the exam.
Firstly, you need to be above the three-star rank, be it as a knight or as a mage.
Then secondly, you need to be under sixteen years old.
If you can't meet these conditions, you are not eligible to enter the exam.
In any case, we had already applied for the exam after we came to the city, so there was no problem in that part.
Aliya also finished her own part, so there was no complexity on our side.
Just like that, we entered the academy gates.
And the scene that welcomed us was something I was both familiar with and also not familiar with at the same time.
Huge greenery that was covering around…
And in front of us, a building that was in the middle of that was standing before us….
Though, if one looked with little more attention, they would understand that wasn't the case.
Since there were a lot of mana fluctuations all around.
The spatial mana was messing with the environment.
The building that looked like it was close and wasn't large enough was actually something very far away and it was something very big.
As we walked a little further, an officer came beside us.
"Are you here to take the exam?"
Although that question was a little pointless, he asked nevertheless.
"Yes."
"Then, please go this way. Soon, you will see a gate and a platform that will teleport you to the theoretical examination hall."
The man said while informing us.
"Understood."
With a slight bow, I said and started walking to the place he gestured.
Though since we weren't the only ones that were here for the entrance exam, finding the way wasn't that hard.
Since sensing spatial fluctuations was also quite easy.
"Why did you do that?"
Suddenly a question came behind me from the girl who was following.
"Did what?"
"Shown your face. Why did you do that? You said you were not going to show it."
Lirienne said while looking at my eyes.
For some reason, she looked like she was mad over something.
"My face, huh? There was no particular reason. I just wanted to do it."
I answered while entering the place where we would be teleported.
"Lies. You never do something that doesn't benefit you."
The answer came behind me, putting another smile on my face.
"Maybe, or maybe not. Why is it important right now?"
"….."
Though in the end, she decided to keep quiet since there was no answer to retaliate.
Just as we entered the room, I saw a platform that was filled with a lot of spatial mana all around.
And soon, another person in charge came.
"Please take this bracelet with you and put it on your strong arm."
And gave us the bracelets that we would be using in the academy.
'Finally, it starts now.'
The function of the bracelets is pretty simple.
It is to track the people who entered the exam and give them an assigned number, which will soon show up in my eyes as the Psionic magic it is using to transmit the information.
It will look like a system panel appearing in front of my eyes, though it will have a more classical design.
Considering the type of things and the number of students the academy needs to deal with, this was a pretty good device.
If one passes the exam, the bracelets will function at full capacity, and if not, then they will destroy themselves.
And the moment I put the bracelet on, I felt a little bit amount of mana entering my body and connecting with my mind.
Because I had already talked about this with the system while I was awakening for the first time, there was no misconnection with the mind magic this time.
Suddenly a number appeared in front of my eyes while also a panel appeared.
---------------------
Name – Callius
Examination ID - 2517209
Age – 15
Class – Mage
Mage Rank – 4-star
Knight Rank – 2-star
Attributes – Fire
----------------------
And just as I had thought before, suddenly, a panel that I was pretty familiar with appeared beside me.
A panel that I had seen with my All-Seeing Eye a lot of times.
This time, it showed my own stats.
They were the stats that I wanted to show to the world.
'Advantages of the system, I guess.'
Since the system was able to manipulate the stats that would be shown with the blessing to the gods, the stats show there was also being controlled.
In any case, that was the reason why the ranks that were shown there were not my real ranks.
And to come to the reason why there were no numerical parameters shown the academy doesn't have permission to access the parameters of people shown in the blessing status panel before the said student is accepted by the academy.
That was because some students would mostly enter a lot of academy entrance exams all around the world, so any academy was no exception to this rule.
And just like that, we teleported to the waiting hall, where we would wait until the theoretical exam started.
