Chapter 397 Chapter 397 Tests

There were parents and their children, mothers to their young, fathers to their offspring, and vice versa, relating in pure display of love and affection.

Calming words were given. Encouraging advises were exchanged. A heartening last farewell to a loved one they might not see again for the coming years.

You stop to think of this and wondered of your own parents. Since the empty void and the inception of time and space, you have always been alone.

You simply existed and knew nothing about your kin, much less of one to call a father or mother of your own. Thus, the feelings you witnessed in droves right now were basically alien to you.

But it never failed to give you an amusement to while the time away as you wait. Sigh! You were the 10,343rd applicant and realized that this was going to be a long one indeed.

Five hours later, the angry sun was now fiercest in its high noon shade and you were finally next in line. You saw the outstretched hands of a sexy lady.

A dark robe may have hindered most of her parts but the curvaceous allure of her frame was not lost in the eyes of a trained observer.

"Hello, woman." you couldn't keep yourself from saying as you gave her the payment for the trial. This was the most beautiful girl you've seen so far in this city.

While there might be others but you purposely haven't used your all seeing eyes to peek on those flowers just yet. You wanted to search them all by chance or perhaps by fate.

Or what was the point in living here together with the ants and not feel what it was to be like them? A puny existence in a single breath amidst the endless span of a timeless eternity.

"Call me woman again and i shall have you eating your teeth down your throat, Mister Handsome." Quite fierce and threatening. A woman worth taming.

You immediately noted her in your list of interesting persons and would have liked to retort a smart one but now was not the time.

And so you responded with a smile instead and proceeded to enter the hallowed grounds beyond the veil of mortals.

Only a thin violet cloth separated the outside from what's within and when you passed through that, a whole new world has affronted your vision.

The simple cottage the size of a house was in truth a facade for a huge expanse of lands. Everything was different here for even the smell of the air was imbued by an unusual substance. Sweet and palpable.

The sky was inky black with its starless deluge of deep emptiness. And the tall structures were akin to the raging waves of creation in the entire Mythborne city itself.

Magical was the word you described to such scene.

"Welcome aspiring student!" You heard a voice broke your intimate perusal of this magnificent place. You searched the cause of the sound and saw no one around.

No people but the imposing towers before your eyes. You could not even perceive the footsteps and the shadows of the ones who came before you.

In your eyes, you were the sole breathing soul in your immediate vicinity.

"Don't fear, young man. I am indeed here." the eerie voice said again.

Though most of the applicants were young, teenagers really, but it was good that the school didn't bar the admittance of older ones.

As long as money was available then there was no cause for concern. It was ultimately a good trade for both parties. Thus, your 30 something appearance would be aptly still considered young.

Though your divine mien might have been the root cause of such misconception. Should i make myself older? 50ish or more? These question ran in your mind for a brief second before you continued.

Being called young was certainly awkward for the oldest being in creation. But nevertheless, you went on and asked,

"What do you want?"

"An impatient child. Hmmm." the voice muttered and laughed a short one but you chose to ignore such words of derision.

"Touch the orb before you and we shall see if you have the skills to become a witch." the bodiless voice instructed and after a breath, you witnessed a spherical ball filled with colors came out from nothing.

The shining orb floated directly before your body before it stopped to hover in midair.

"Typical." you whispered while smiling and did exactly as you were told. When your hands touched the flickering ball, its hues sparkled endlessly until everything was drowned out from view.

"You passed the test. Welcome new student of The Crescent Moon School of Witches!

May you bring honor to our name and slay all enemies of our cause!" you heard the voice commended you for your admission.

While it may have seemed only a breath passed here but it not the case to where you were brought earlier. You were tested and tried.

Memory test - check

Puzzle test - check

Game test - check

IQ test - check

.....

You did all 100 tests of the mind for three hours to where your consciousness was dragged out.

"Towards this mystical ball." you concluded.

"Thank you." you replied softly to this unseen voice of a man.

"You don't need to thank me, young man. You have the ability to become a witch. To what end and to how far, only you have the answer to that. Good luck!"

you heard the parting words and with it, you felt space and time engulf your body. In the next instant, you were brought inside the confines of a large building.

There were boys and girls around and there were also the rare oldies like you in the scene.

The whole place was alive and wonderful as even the bright colors above brought added texture to this place of wonders.

Incessant talks abounded and there was not a few who wanted to share your views with them. So a dialogue or two was inevitable.
