The Greatest Sinner

Evan left the house and headed for the academy. On his way out of the village, he saw Fien, Enni, Katlyn and the other members of his group, but not all of them. Evan didn\'t ask where they were, he`d already known the answer and it didn\'t bother him much. Right now, he was interested only in the entrance exam and nothing else.

Today, at the Academy of Magic it would be decided not only what type of student he would become, internal or external, but he would finally find out what his Class was.

As Zak had said him earlier, almost all magicians found out their Class at the Academy of Magic. It took special methods to determine this. Of course, one could spend many months studying the spells of the different Types of Magic, but it was impractical. It was much more efficient to go to the Academy of Magic.

The exam was still about two hours away, so Evan took his time. He walked calmly among the dense green forest heading towards the big city.

Today it would be the intake in "The Last Moon", so the whole town was in turmoil. To Evan\'s surprise when he approached the walls of the city, he saw no guards, only two men in white mantles.

One was staring at everyone who entered the city, while the other was writing something in a small book. Today was a special day, hundreds of newbie magicians were coming to the Academy.

As Evan approached the entrance, he was asked his name and told where to go. Evan nodded and headed towards the second zone. Then he reached the first zone and then he was led to the entrance of the main part, namely "The Last Moon" building.

He was struck by the grandeur of the Academy building. It was a whole complex of buildings of different shapes, each one huge and looking impressive. Compared to it, the "Tower of Magic" in Mossy Vulture looked pale and ordinary.

Evan hadn\'t been inside yet, but he could safely say that "The Last Moon" was as big as any medium-sized city.

Unfortunately, Evan couldn\'t go inside right now, he had been directed to where the entrance exam would be held. As Evan walked, he looked at the buildings around him with amazement. The buildings were in the Gothic style and created an impressive monumental architectural structure.

...

After a while, Evan reached the right place and saw a real square with hundreds of newbie magicians ready to take the exam.

Everyone was waiting for the beginning of the exam, which was supposed to take place in ten minutes. Everyone behaved differently, some were noticeably nervous, some were excited, and some were completely calm. Since Evan wasn`t in a hurry, he was among the last to arrive in the square. Almost everyone had already been there.

Whoosh.

Exactly ten minutes later, the massive gate in front of the square opened. It was the moment everyone had been waiting for.

Two men and a woman in white mantles walked out to the applicants. At that moment, a sepulchral silence fell over the square. No one spoke, and no small whispers could be heard.

A woman with long black hair stepped forward and said loudly: "Welcome, everyone! I\'ll be brief, you know the purpose you have come here for. Now, each of you will go in turn to the evaluation center. We will know your Class and the color of your \'Warps", and then we will go to the underground arena where the exam will take place."

Everyone just nodded silently, waiting for the beginning. Three magicians in white mantles entered the huge building to the left of the square.

After a while, one of them came out of the building and called out three names loudly. Those he`d called quickly approached him and went inside.

The evaluation procedure wasn\'t long, just a few minutes and the three newbie magicians were back in the square. Some of them were smiling, the others were upset on the contrary. Many young men were walking out of the building without any emotion.

Every magician prefers one Class over the others. Many newbie magicians even put everything on one Class and learn spells exclusive to that Type of Magic. The color of the "Warp" is also incredibly important.

Of course, many in the square knew roughly what color their "Warp" was - it was easy to tell by the speed of" Creation", but only at the Academy of Magic everything became absolutely clear.

<I wonder how they check a magician\'s Class and the color of his "Warp"? Evan thought to himself as he watched another trio enter the building.

Even people like Zak and Marcel didn\'t have the proper methods to determine the Class. Sure, they could probably do it if they wanted to, but it was too complicated and costly. It was much easier to use the methods of the Academy of Magic.

While Evan was waiting for his turn, he`s looking around. He didn\'t stop his gaze on people for long, he was more interested in the buildings around him.

Evan was interested in the huge buildings around him.

Compared to them, even Marcel\'s mansion didn\'t look so big and luxurious. On the other hand, he shouldn\'t have expected anything less from the Academy of Magic -"The Last Moon".

Evan didn\'t like waiting, but for some reason the waiting didn\'t bother him now. Maybe it was because the whole process didn\'t take long and a lot of students had already been tested.

Fien, Enni, and Katlyn had already been tested. Evan could tell from their faces that the girls had either expected this kind of result or were extremely pleased with it. Especially Enni, she was the happiest.

<Sounds like she\'s an "Amplifier" after all. She was really lucky and she was ready for it. Moreover, her character will make her a perfect "Amplifier">. Evan thought to himself as he waited his turn.

People were going in and out of the evaluation center. Evan remained in the last hundred applicants but even now, his name was not called. Even though it made no difference who went in first and who went in last, since everyone would go into the underground arena after the evaluation, Evan was getting bored with the wait.

...

<Seriously?> Evan thought to himself with a frown on his face watching another three people enter the building. There were only three people left besides them who hadn\'t been tested yet, and one of those people was Evan.

<Some fairy bad luck, okay, on the bright side I won\'t have to wait for anyone and we\'ll head straight to the arena.>

While Evan was thinking, three students came out and a man in a white mantle called out the names, "Mya Berry, Hollie Francis and Evan Lynch!"

With a sigh of relief, Evan headed toward the place where he would finally find the answers to his long-awaited questions.
