The dragon's harem

A massive burst of fire exploded on the stage, and a tall woman with a massive wizard hat emerged from the flames, smacking the ground with her staff.

"Freshmen! Welcto your first year." She said, glaring at them with glowing eyes. "And without wasting any time. Let's start the first written test. Don't worry, it's simple." She waved her staff, and the ground beneath the students started shaking.

"What's going on?!"

"So much magic, what kind of spell is this?!"

The ground cracked, lifting every student separately and forming into a chair and a table, raising them several meters in the air. Thick barriers separated them. A paper, a crystal ball, and a pen appeared on the table in front of them.

Arad blinked, looking at what was ahead of him. "The chair is too small," He said, barely fitting inside.

"Bear with it for a second. I'm first creating a massive batch of similar objects to accommodate most of the students then I'll change what needs to be changed." A voice cfrom the crystal ball as it flashed lightly, sending a wave of faint magic.

Half a minute later, Arad's seat and table grew larger. "This should be comfortable for you,"

"It is, thank you. It's quite an amazing spell," He replied, looking around.

"Let's start your test." The voice coming from the crystal changed into something that looked as if it was pre-recorded.

"The test is simple and easy, first, a writing test. Write what you hear after the beep from the crystal into the paper using that pen. Try to keep up with the reading."

Arad nodded as he picked up the pen, taking a deep breath and remembering how Aella and Doma taught him to write and read.

"Seven seas were flooding above the land, driving the ground drummers into the mountains. With only rain and storms, kingdoms drowned and washed from life, leaving only the bones of civilization. Stop!"

Arad's pen's ink dried up.

"Times up, how much did you write." The paper disappeared.

"91/100, good job."

Arad stared at the crystal, noticing its functions. This was an automated test. Ever since the recorded voice started, he was left alone. Whoever was that teacher at the start, she isn't looking anymore.

"Second part, math." The voice cagain from the crystal ball, and a new paper appeared ahead of Arad filled with questions. It then started flashing white and slowly fading.

"Tap the crystal when it flashes green to gain extra time,"

Arad looked at the crystal and the paper. ^So while solving this, I need to keep an eye on the crystal to gain more time.^ DING!

The crystal suddenly flashed before he could tap it. ^It's fast, especially while limited. Reacting to it by sight alone is both slow and distracting.^ He turned toward the paper and started solving it with Doma in his head, all while keeping his senses peeled on the crystal's mana.

The crystal's mana shifted slightly, and Arad immediately tapped it when it flashed. ^So this is the trick, timing it with magic senses.^

Half an hour later, the written test ended, and the paper disappeared.

"100/100, what a talent."

After several more tests that covered the basic knowledge needed, the crystal orb announced the end of the first examination. The barriers disappeared like ash in the wind as the stone pillars slowly lowered the students back to the ground.

"This concludes the written test. 95% of the students have passed, congratulations." A massive glass-like barrier appeared in the air displaying the results of students at once.

Arad stared at the board with a curious gaze. ^Barrier magic, but they changed the density to write on it. That's a possibility, I see.^ He would've forgotten to look for his overall result if Doma didn't poke him.

[Aron Kyomu: 93/100. Ranked 19/1333] ^As expected, even though I had a lot of help, I couldn't fix my bad handwriting. I've only been working on it for two weeks,^

"How about the others..." He searched the whole board in seconds.

[Jack Bertha: 100/100. Ranked 1/1333] ^I expected him to rank high, but not like this. He has more knowledge than I expected or a better way of cheating.^

[Jogo Kyomu: 94.7/100. Ranked 18/1333] ^Knowing brother, it's probably because he refused to answer questions that don't interest him.^

[Tempo of Volania: 12/100. Ranked 1247/1333] ^Why? How? Because he's a Titan? Don't tellhe knew nothing about human language or anything related...^

[Abel Alina: 69/100. Ranked 452/1323. Note: Please report to the director's office after the tests for misconduct.] ^Since the spell activated from beneath the students, I bet it picked him and the girls he was with...^

[Aella Deianira: 96.5/100. Ranked 5/1333] ^She did spend more tstudying than me, and she did study at hwhen she was young, impressive.^

[Mira Belethor: 91.65/100. Ranked 25/1333] ^Mira is smart. Probably more than most of us.^

[Merida Cuchilla: 72.7/100. Ranked 367/1333] ^She was worried about the written test. It's been years since she last did anything other than writing and basic math.^

[Sena Lisworth: 50/100. Ranked 666/1333] ^That can't be right. I swear she did it on purpose.^

[Selica Broshy: 45.6/100. Ranked 745/1333] ^Sena's assistant. I honestly expected more, but she might've pulled something like Sena.^

[Sara Alina: 88/100. Ranked 69/1333] ^She's certainly far smarter than her brother.^

[Lydia Auston: 73/100. Ranked 366/1333] ^I honestly expected less. Did Jack teach her?^

"The second examination would start soon," The teacher walked onto the stage, clapping her hands as her eyes looked over the students. "I've already spotted several talents."

CLAP! CLAP! With two claps, the stage behind her slowly disappeared, "The second test is a combat test." She started walking, and with each step, the ground beneath her feet turned into dirt, growing grass and flowers. "I'll be teaching you several subjects this year. One of them is monster fighting, a necessity for everyone who values their lives."

She slowly turned, pointing at the students, "We're moving to the monster pit on the other side of the university. Follow me,"

The training ground behind the university is a massive colosseum, the remnant of an old dungeon that was forced to the surface by mages hired from the mages' tower. The fighting arena inside was already separated into ten separate sections for simultaneous testing.

"Ten at a tyou'll go inside and fight monsters. A single student against a single monster, your goal is to survive for a minute. Don't worry, even though you might get injured, we can stop the fight and treat fatal injuries within a second." The teacher looked at the students with a smirk, "It'll be painful, so show your best. Any questions?"

As she looked around, she saw Arad lifting his hand. "You're… Aron Kyomu if I remember correctly," She smiled. ^Who can forget you? You're the biggest student I've ever seen…remindsof that bastard Alcott,^

"It's not a question." Arad stared at her dead in the eyes, "That better not happen. That's all I have to say."

Hearing his words, she could feel a shiver run down her spine.
