Strongest Mage with the Lust system
chapter-93

People stared coming down from their seats to take the test. In just a minute, the arena was surrounded by people like ants.

The black clothed supervisors had to step up and make them stand in proper lines to avoid chaotic situation.

Seeing everyone rushing to test their affinity, Neer looked at Max and asked "Young master, should we also go?"

Max shook his head "No let them test first. We have more than enough time. No need to rush."

Neer nodded, there were many people still in their seats. He watched as people tested their affinity and the supervisors announced their result before noting down the names of qualified candidates.

These crystals were different from the ones people used normally to test their affinity. Those weren't as accurate as these crystals. When someone touched the crystal and stimulated the mana that was inside the crystal, a almost invisible mana wave would be generated from the crystal .

Black clothed supervisors would watch that near invisible mana wave with their special magic skills. According to the distance it travelled before dispersing, they would determine the affinity of the candidate.

Candidates started testing and supervisors would announce the result.

"Grade one affinity. Fail!"

"Grade two affinity. Pass!"

Pass...

Fail...

....

People kept passing and failing, their ratio was almost equal. From this, it can be seen that although number of mages who wanted to join academies was around two hundred thousand, only half of them would actually qualify to proceed to the second phase.

It took one person only a few seconds to complete their testing however, five hours were gone quickly and there were still ten percent candidates yet to be tested.

Suddenly, the Colosseum became silent as the voice of one of the supervisors resounded. Even the envoys who didn't pay any attention before focused their gaze on the arena.

"Affinity grade six. Pass!"

Everyone stared at a handsome young man who just got tested. Elder Zhan also opened his eyes and take a proper look at him before closing them once again.

"Who is that guy? His affinity grade is the highest till now, right?" After a few moments of pin drop silence, someone broke the silence and asked his friend as he stared at the young man in the arena, standing proudly.

"Y-yes, it seems to be the case." His friend replied, stuttering.

Suddenly there was a uproar. Many girls started commenting at his good looks and talent. The natives of Zexin city proudly told everyone about his origin. After knowing his identity, the respect in people' eyes increased by a notch.

Max's driver panicked after recognising the young man. Neer also seemed a bit anxious. They both turned to look at Max's expression and found him with closed his, reclining on the chair.

"Young master, this guy... Isn't he the one you offended in the blacksmith's shop that day? The young master of Dalton family?" The driver asked cautiously however, his wording was misplaced due to his anxiousness. He didn't realise that he had blamed him on offending young master Dalton.

"Yeah he is." Max replied with his eyes closed. His tone was as if they were talking about a normal passerby and not someone who could be his enemy in future.

"Ugh! Young master although it is not my place to say this but shouldn't you take him a bit more seriously? After all, he misunderstood you that day and might want revenge." The driver asked, exasperated about his nonchalant attitude.

This was because he was not only tasked by lord Viscount to take Max to the recruitment venue but also to ensure that he do not get in conflict with anyone. But didn't expect this young master of his to offend young master of Dalton family on the first day they arrived here.

However, he knew that Max didn't do this intentionally. But would that young master Dalton care about this? He clearly saw his killing intent toward Max and knew that he wouldn't let this matter rest without causing trouble.

Now that his talent turned out to be of such a high grade, he would most likely become a core disciple of one of the top five academies. Who can stop him then if he wanted to do something to Max?

Max opened his eyes and chuckled lightly "I know what you are worried about. However, don't be. Even if he wanted to hurt me, that won't be so easy to accomplish, especially after I also become a disciple of those academies."

The driver didn't know what to say seeing him being so confident. It's true that Dalton won't be able to do anything to him in public after he entered an academy. However what if he used underhanded mean or worse what if he chose to strike in the third round? No one could blame him then.

Just then, a few loud cheers attracted their attention. Another young man stepped on the arena. Although he wasn't as good looking as Dalton, he had an imperious aura around him that was intimidating but it also attracted people.

Young master Dalton's expression darkened when someone stole his thunder. He turned around angrily. However, his anger vanished without a trace when he saw him.

He wore a smile and saluted him by bowing slightly "Hello brother Vincent."

The young man called Vincent glanced at him and nodded. He then approached the crystal and put his hand on it.

Dalton eyes flashed coldly upon being ignored. Moreover, it was when he greeted the man first.

"Stimulate the mana inside the crystal." The supervisor instructed.

Vincent focused on stimulating the mana inside the crystal. A moment later, crystal reacted and an invisible mana wave was propelled outward from the crystal that only dispersed after traveling seven inches from the crystal.

Dalton hadn't stepped down from the arena. When he saw this, his face fell even before the instructor could announce Vincent's result. He also had a magic spell that allowed him to see that invisible mana wave.

The instructor nodded towards Vincent, approvingly and announced loudly "Grade seven mana affinity. Pass!"
