Magus Supremacy-Chapter 114: Picking an academy {1}

After Grey was done with his fight, a healing mage quickly came over and healed him of his injuries making him feel good as new. And then the assessment continued again as Grey's opponent was lifted out of the arena.

In a few minutes, the last assessment was finally over as the losers were told to leave the coliseum leaving out of two hundred applicants that took part in the assessment, a hundred applicants were left as they all stood in the coliseum with wide smiles on their faces.

And they began jubilating.

"We made it!"

"We did it!"

"I actually passed these hard assessments not like I doubted myself one bit."

"Shit! Those assessments were as difficult as they can get."

"Who knew that just to get into an academy would bring this much challenge to my mental health."

'Tch! I knew I could pass these silly assessments.' Grey scoffed in his mind when he saw Captain Ryan Kim stand up and the floating crystal glowed in front of him.

"Congratulations to all brave applicants for even considering to take our assessments and not only take it, but also passed it excellently." Ryan began speaking and the crowd cheered and smiled widely.

"I know." Ryan said and the crowd became silent again. "I know our assessments must have come out as cruel and hard but our aim was to weed out the weak among you all and then get the strong while grooming them to become the best they can be. And I'm glad that those of you that passed these assessments, are actually strong."

'Tch! Discrimination as usual. Why can't you give them the same opportunities and see if the weak won't grow stronger. Just imagine that I was actually weak with only a single affinity and probably a one star mage, I would have also gotten the boot before getting to the third assessment.' Grey thought with a scoff as he folded his arms.

'Well! It's actually none of my business what happens to others. I'm not about to become a hero for the world that abandoned me so all I care about is becoming stronger and protecting my family.' he thought.

"So I want to congratulate you all once again! Now, we would call your names one after the other. And the captains would lift their hands up if they want to take you in. But note! If no captain raises their hands' to signal that they want the applicant, then they would also be sent back home." Ryan said and like as if a spell was cast on the applicants, a hush befell the coliseum as they all stared with wide eyes.

"I… we thought that after the assessments, it would be smooth sailing from now on and they are saying there's another problem?"

"I knew it wouldn't be that easy." Someone scoffed.

The shock and words spread out as the applicants expressed their horror at Kim's words.

"So let's get started." Ryan Kim said without caring for the murmurings.

He began calling applicants out one by one and if a captain wanted them, they would raise their hand and they would be accepted into that academy.

This went on for a few minutes until…

"Blake cold! Captains raise your hands if you want him into your academy!" Ryan said but surprisingly, there was no volunteers as the applicant suddenly felt like a bolt of lightning crashed into him as he stared at the captains with wide eyes of horror.

"C'mon! Any one please take me in! I can't go back like this after coming this far! Please!" Blake pleaded with tears in his eyes but alas, there was no intake and the applicant was sent away.

"Next!" Ryan called the next person and they were accepted into an academy until…

"Nozel Silva! Captains raise your hands if you want him!" Ryan said and he immediately raised his hand and so did the remaining three captains as Nozel stood there with a smile on his face staring at the captains.

"Woah! All captains raised their hands! How is this possible?"

"This has never happened before! Is he that impressive?"

"Of course he will be, after all he is a noble blood and the son of the principal of one of the academies."

"Then it's obvious which academy he would choose huh."

"Nozel Silva, please choose the academy you would want to attend." Ryan said and Nozel cleared his throat elegantly.

"Of course I choose Wysteria academy." Nozel replied and Ryan smiled.

"Good choice kiddo." Ryan said and Nozel stepped aside.

"Raze Zane!" Ryan called out and Raze stepped forward and immediately, Amir raised his hand signalling he wanted him.

"Congratulations, you have now been accepted into Lunaria academy!" Amir said with a smile and Raze's eyes welled up in tears as he walked aside.

'I can't believe it! A peasant like me made it into an academy?! Dad! I have finally made it into an academy. I can't wait to share this happy news with you.' Raze thought.

"Vince Walter!" Ryan called and Vince stepped forward. "Captains please raise your hands if you want him."

To everybody's surprise, nobody raised their hands as Vince's body tensed up looking at them until.

"I will take him." Amir said and Vince lifted his teary eyes.

'Dad!' he thought with a surprised expression on his face.

"Very well then! Vince will join Lunaria academy." Ryan said and Vince with a smile, walked aside.

"Scarlet Trevor!"

Scarlet on hearing her name walked forward elegantly with a stern look on her face.

"Captains please raise your hands if you want her." Ryan said and two captains raised their hands and they were Amir and Sophia.

"C'mon Amir, let the girl come to us. We want beautiful and strong girls like her in our squad." Sophia said.

"Can't! Wherever they are talents, I will snatch them up." Amir replied.

"Scarlet! Please choose the academy you want to join." Ryan said and a small smile played on her lips.

'Of course I will go wherever my best friend is.' She thought.

"Lunaria academy!" Scarlet said and Sophia's face fell then she scoffed.

"Very well then." Ryan said as Scarlet moved aside. "Arthur Rill!" He called and Arthur stepped forward with hesitant steps.

"Captains! Please raise your hands if you want Arthur Rill to join your academy." Ryan said but there were no volunteers.

'As expected, I knew a useless weak support like me can't get into an academy. It was a miracle I won my combat and that was because my opponent was muck weaker than I am. Anyway, let's just go and we will try again next…'

"I will take him." Amir announced and Arthur froze in his thoughts as he slowly lifted his head to look at Amir who had a cheeky smile on his face.

"Very well then! Arthur Rill, congratulations! You have been accepted into Lunaria academy." Ryan said and still with a stunned expression on his face, Arthur dragged his feet towards the others.

'Nobody saw what I saw in him hence they didn't pick him. I could see it, if given more time, this useless support will grow to become more useful and stronger.' Amir thought with a slight chuckle.

"Our last but not the least applicant, Grey Dawn!" Ryan said and Grey walked forward nonchalantly not caring about the disgusted expression the crowd threw at him.

"How exhilarating will it be if no captain chooses him."

"It will be fun to watch."

"I can't wait to see him break down in pains seeing his dream shatter and crumble to the ground."

"I still wonder what he was thinking when he came here though."

"I can't wait to see him fail and leave this place soon because his smug look and arrogant demeanor keeps pissing me off."

"True."

Immediately Grey came forward, Ryan continued speaking.

"Please captains raise your hands if you want Grey Dawn to join your academy." Immediately Ryan said this, he swiftly raised his hand up and the remaining captains did the same as the whole crowd exploded in shock.

"What the hell?!"
