Finding Wain

Ell suddenly understood, 'So that's why I couldn't find Wain!'

The examiner knew that Ell was going to find his friend and asked Ell at the last minute, "I've seen your potential and I want to ask you, will you become my disciple?"

Ell thought about this offer, "I'm sorry, but I want to forge my own path, and create my own legacy!"

The examiner laughed, "GOOD, GOOD! Hey kid, my name's Quintus Redflag. If anything, bad happens to you, you can come to me." Quintus stuck his hand out to Ell.

Ell shook Quintus's hand, feeling how big and rough Quintus's hand felt. "Thanks, my name's Ell. By the way, do people usually have second names?" He asked puzzled.

"HAHAHA, kid you really don't know that? A second name indicates what family you're from, normally coming from your father's side of the family. It's not a surprise you don't have one, as they are normally only in noble families." Quintus laughed.

"Huh."

They started to walk to the field, this was because the junior exam took place an hour later than the senior exam.

"Ok, Ell I'll let you watch the exam, but you can't interfere in any way." The examiner told him.

"Yes sir!"

"They should be on stage one now." The examiner mumbled.

"What?" Ell asked.

"Oh, of course you don't know. Well you see the test normally has three stages, stage one is them fighting each other, to test for strength. Stage two, is them being tested against a examiner in disguise to test for their determination. Stage three, is stranding them, in a forest full of magical beasts to test for their resourcefulness. Of course, you didn't go through the other two stages because I judged you worthy. I think the other kids in the senior exam should be on stage two right now."

Ell silently watched from the side, to think just around an hour ago he was standing on top of that stage. Now there were many kids some of them his age some of them even younger fighting to try and pass the exam.

As Ell contemplated, two kids were fighting on top of the platform, one of them had blond hair and blue eyes, wielding a white elegant sabre. The other kid had purple hair and shining yellow eyes, wielding a katana.

It was clear that this was one of the final fights due to the lack of people in the field. In this exact field there were a group of 5 to 6 people staring at the battle above in interest, some trying to absorb as many techniques as they could, some cheering for others to win. Wain was cheering for the purple haired kid, and it seemed that he had made a friendship with him.

The two kids on the stage were exchanging blows and clashing time and time again, the blonde haired kid was being beaten back, it was obvious that the purple haired kid was a higher power level than the blonde haired kid.

The purple haired kid sheathed his katana, making the blond haired kid raise his eyebrows in surprise. Suddenly the purple haired kid started to run at the blond haired kid.

The purple haired kid brought his katana out of his sheath, at the same time slashing the blond haired kid, "Quick Draw!"

'Oh, an expert level skill. The blond haired kid seemed to understand what was coming, probably after seeing the purple haired kid fight others.' Thought Ell.

The blonde haired kid, immediately brought his sabre up to the side of his body and tried to block the attack, however the blonde haired kid's weapon was blown out of his reach, after the katana collided with it and he ultimately lost.

The blonde haired kid left the platform disappointed yet content. (I know this doesn't make sense, don't criticize me.)

The purple kid looked at the crowd of people before him, his yellow eyes scanning the crowd of people below him, he was looking to fight someone he hadn't fought before.

At last his eyes settled onto the form of Ell.

"You! Fight me!"

The Examiner of the test looked really flustered, not really sure what to make of this situation, she started to stutter at the purple haired kid, "I - I don't think y - you should f - fight him!"

The purple haired kid looked towards the Examiner in confusion, "Isn't he here for the test too? He's the only one here I haven't fought yet."

The Examiner tried to say something back to the purple kid, but was interupted by Ell.

Ell looked towards Quintus, "Can I fight him?"

The Examiner tried to say something towards Ell but was inturupted once again but by Quintus this time.

Quintus thought for a bit, "Make sure not to hurt him too badly."

"Ok."

Quintus brought a pouch out of his pocket, and then he reached inside the pouch and pulled out a chair, which he sat on.

The purple haired kid seemed to be displeased with Quintus's words, 'Are they looking down on me?'

"Hey you, don't look down on me."

Ell walked onto the stage with a neutral expression. This expression angered the purple haired kid, to him, it was the same as saying I don't even need to concentrate to beat you. "Listen up, I, George Magenta, will beat you!"

(Ofc, Ell doesn't need to concentrate to beat him, but he doesn't know the difference between them, since he can't sense ki.)

Wain who was in the crowd and already knew Ell's power level tried to calm George down. He also tried to tell George about Ell, and how he was a friend. However, before he could say anything about Ell being a friend, Ell already started to speak.

"Uh, you won't be able to beat me though?"

This statement negated all of Wain's attempts to calm George down.

George saw this statement as Ell looking down on him even more, and mocking his name and his face. "You basstarddd." George growled, "You bastards are all the same! Mocking and laughing at those who you think are weaker than you, and then grovelling and begging for mercy to those stronger than you. I swear on my name, Magenta, that I will beat you!"
