Magna found himself in a situation that he can't see a way out of
"If this is how hard the exams are then nobody is going to pass" he said while taking a defensive stance with sweat flowing down on his face
"Magna dear you are loosing focus" She proceeds to close in on Magna within a blink of an eye and punches Magna in the stomach almost knocking him out
"I was hoping I wouldn't have to use this but things are looking bad for me, All worry about the consequences later" Magna in a desperate attempt to win he cast the 9th grade Magma spell Absolute armor
"Oh absolute armor ey that's a pretty impressive spell you got there but it's not perfected" she throws down her staff and starts going blow for blow with Magna
At first they looked like they were evenly matched but with each passing second Magna started being overwhelmed and his armor started cracking
"No I can't lose one day I have to become the strongest so I can't afford to lose to anyone!" The armor started repairing itself and Magna was back in the fight
"What made you think I was going to fight fair Magna" she cast the 7th grade spell Magic disruption
Magna was shocked as the armor that was keeping him the fight suddenly vanished
"Magna you are pretty strong for your age but unfortunately for you we were told not to hold back with the four of you"
Then she cast the 9th grade spell hand of the sea god a giant fist made out of water crush Magna and left the boy unconscious
"The fight has ended"
"Damn they didn't go that hard when they were fighting us" Students in the crowd whispered
After the four students saw what they need to do to pass they were allowed to get prepared while waiting foe Magna to recover
"Hey Magna why did that teacher go all out with you, You are a student shouldn't they hold back" Alys said With a worried look on her face. She was trying to think of an answer but couldn't find one
"The examiner said that they were not to hold back against the four of us" he gets up and looks at the sky with a frustrated expression on his face
"I get why the would want to test you three because you are nobles, but why would they include me?" He crossed his arm together in confusion and wondering how is he going to win his fight because he just learnt how to use magic his not ready for a fight like that
"Yeah you right it does make sense your just a commoner" Alys said while looking at him with curiosity
"No it's not because of standing they do this test every year to those recommended by power and influential person, so Ragnar must of been recommended by someone powerful" light said while looking at Ragnar with a smile
"But who coz I don't know anyone that influential" Ragnar got more confused because now one way coming to mind
"Don't worry though just try your hardest unlike the others we don't necessarily need to win our battles we just have to show them what we got" Light started stretching knowing his up next
"Ah so as long as I gave it my best I could still get in" Magna started smiling at the realization that he did not fail just yet
"We are done Mr Magna so you can be on your way" the healer said With anger because everyone forgot she was standing right there
"Thank you Ms"
"Anyway am confident that I can win my fight" light walked out of the room smiling ear to ear looking more than ready to take his test
"Wow that dude must be a crazy powerhouse if he has that much confidence" Ragnar started preparing for his fight
"He must be strong or just an idiot" Alys sat down near her bother and started revising spells
"May the second match begging"
"Hello there light my name is Ordric am going to be your examiner" Ordric was like a giant compared to light
"Nice to meet your sir sorry but am going to have to kick your ass"
Light using his extensive knowledge of magic was able to cast two spells simultaneously 10th grade magic spell Dagger of the thunder god and 9th grade magic spell Dagger of the light goddess
"OH it seems you are quite the powerful young mage light"
"Forgive me sir but am not going to show any mercy"
Light showcased his incredible speed and was able to cut the man in the chest yet he remained unfazed. Light keep on slicing the man repeatedly
"Come on are you going to sit there and take all of my attacks, You are going to die you know"
"No I was simply just testing how far you can push me and I must say am very disappointed"
"What are you talking about?"
"Let me show you 8th grade magic Tears of the healing fairy"
The man was able to heal all his wounds in mere seconds like he was never wounded in the first place
"How were you able to that?"
"This spell not only heals me but it also give me an incredible strength and speed boost!"
The appeared in front of him almost like he teleported, no he was just to fast for the naked eye to see
"I hope you can take a punch kid"
He proceeds to punch him in the back of the head sending him flying. Light crashed into the wall and coughed out blood
"Shit I can afford to take any more hits like that"
"Things are looking bad for light" Ragnar mumbled to himself
"Come on light is that all you got"
"Do you think is over sir, because I still have some fight left in me"
"What can you do you are outmatched"
"Well I still have one more trick out my sleeve "
The examiner watched in horror as this was the first time his seen a kid cast 7th grade magic
"7th grade magic battlefield of the thunder god"
"Kid I won't lie that's impressive but the spell is still incomplete and it does look like you can maintain it for a long time"
"Your right I can only hold it for 3 minutes but 3 minutes is all I need"
"Confident aren't we"
"No I realized something you may look like a fighter but the only spell you've used so far is a healing spell so that means you can use any offensive spells"
Light using all the strength his body can gather he charges in for an attack but Ordric dodges trying to throw a punch at the direction of light but light dodges
Multiple afterimages of light appear almost like he was cloning himself but he was just getting faster by the minutes. Light throws punch from all directions and Ordric couldn't dodge them all and gets hit
Light taking advantage of the opening summons his daggers and lands the final blow on Ordric
Ordric fell to the ground light's blades aimed at his face
"Light Excalibur wins"
"He actually pulled it of" Ragnar said as hope filled his eyes
The crowd of students began cheering light's name
"I guess you won kid"
"No I didn't you weren't fighting with your full power" light was barely conscious
"Of course I wasn't I don't agree with this rule of beating up students to test their strength"
"OH I see that means if you were going all out I would have lost huh"
"Unfortunately yes kid"
Light passes out and Ordric carries to the healers as they announced the next examinee
"Alys voldric you are up next"
"Guess am going next well if light can do it I can too"
"Alys don't underestimate your opponent you will lose if you do that" Magna said With a very serious voice
"Don't worry I got this plus I am the youngest mage to eve gotten the rank of 8th grade magic knight" she got prepared for her fight with nothing much confidence in her eyes
