Chapter 22: Evaluations
That evening, after a quiet meal in the cafeteria, Ruvian returned to his dormitory, his thoughts already unraveling into careful calculations. With Zian absent, the story’s course had shifted. The weight of his absence left a void at the top.he motions effortless. Dressing in his academy uniform, he gathered his materials, shouldered his preparations, and stepped out into the halls of Velthia.
Today was important.
The Elemental Affinitas Evaluation.
By the time Ruvian arrived at Class E, a few scholars were already inside, either chatting amongst themselves or idly waiting.
The room gradually filled over the next few minutes, the usual morning chatter spreading through the air.
Then...
Click!
The door at the front of the classroom swung open, and the conversation died down almost immediately.
Professor Edvoss stepped inside.
Behind him, his assistant struggled to carry a large contraption, carefully placing it at the front of the room. It was a magic device, its polished surface embedded with crystallised circuits. Its function as a tool of magical assessment.
Professor Edvoss gave his assistant a nod of acknowledgment before turning to the class.
“Good. You’re all here, then let’s get started. As you all know, today’s session will be your elemental affinitas evaluation. This invention here is a mana resonance calibrator—a device designed to analyze the unique composition of your mana and determine which elemental attributes are most compatible with you.”
A few murmurs rippled through the room as the scholars examined the device with curious eyes. Professor Edvoss ignored them and continued.
“The importance of elemental affinitas should already be obvious. Each spell is inherently tied to a specific element. While it’s possible to cast magic outside of your affinitas, the effectiveness will be drastically lower.”
“This is why the evaluation is necessary.”
He crossed his arms and leaned slightly against his desk.
“Now, let’s not waste any more time. We’ll begin the evaluation immediately. One by one, you’ll come forward and place your hand on the calibrator.”
His gaze narrowed toward the first row.
“Let’s start with you.”
