Author's Reincarnation in a Fantasy Setting

We crossed the gate and entered the grounds of the academy. The area was covered with leveled grass and a path was made that connected the gate with the main building.

Following the path, we entered the main building along with many other students.

At this point, I don't know if calling them students would be right because they will officially be a part of this academy once they pass the entrance exam but…let's just ignore it for now.

It must be okay to call them students since I've never seen anyone fail a school entrance exam before.

Hmm, I decided on that.

As we reached the main building I saw that the front gate was a big one, built with a combination of multiply types of wood. It had a glossy finish on it and many patterns were craved on it for decoration.

But the door was open and so we simply went inside. It was connected to a hallway, maybe the main hallway of this building.

The floor was made of brown tiles and a red carpet was spread on it.

I and Anya stopped in our tracks and looked at each other, the reason was...well, we didn't know where to go now.

Hey, it's not my mistake okay, no one told us about this!

"I think we should follow the rest of the students. If they are new students like us then we will eventually reach the right place."

Surprisingly, Anya was the one who suggested it. I simply nodded and went along since I also had a similar idea.

And see, she is also calling them students!

Like that, we followed the rest of the students, and eventually, eh, maybe, we reached the place where we had to reach.

It was a large hall-type room; the ceiling was high and the floor here was made up of wooden planks.

We entered the room and since there was no place to sit so we simply stood there just like the other students.

Then a thought crossed my mind.

'How badass it would be if now I created a throne made out of ice with my elemental magic and then sit on it in a king's pose.'

But I knew it was not possible so I discarded that thought, the reason being that with my current skill level I can't create something like a throne and the other was.

I don't know, when I think about it a second time the whole scene gave a cliché vibe to me.

Also, doing that will attract a lot of unnecessary attention to me which I don't want, nope, not at all. After all, that will completely destroy the peaceful life I want to live.

While I was lost in thought, I suddenly heard a loud beep sound, similar to the one you hear when someone taps on a mic to test if it's working or not.

And when I looked in the direction where the voice came from, it turned out I was a little too right in describing that voice.

A man was now there on what looked like a stage, it was a platform that was leveled up a bit from the floor, giving it a stage type of look.

In front of that man was something like a mic stand with the only difference being that instead of a mic there was a small magic circle.

"This is the magic academy for you."

I had seen something similar in the battle tournament but this thing looked more advanced and the quality of voice it produced was also clearer.

And then, the man who looked like to be in his middle twenties came close to the mic and spoke.

"I hope everyone is here, and judging from the number of students here and comparing it with the numbers we accepted for the entrance exam, I think everyone is here. Then everyone, allow me to introduce myself, I am Robert Halls, the one responsible for the management of new students."

,m He took a pause after that and gazed upon the students, and that of course included me. Though he wouldn't notice me, I was sure of that.

After that, he spoke again and this time we were given the valuable information we'd been waiting for.

"I'm sure you all must know that we will have you all given an entrance exam before accepting you into the academy and officially making you its students. As for what this exam will be and why you are giving this, all of it is written in the paper you will be receiving now."

A person from the school staff came forward; no several of them came and handed a paper to the students who were standing in the front row.

"Please hand it back to the other students," he added.

The number of those papers was high because each student received one, soon I also received that paper that was handed to me by the student who was standing in front of me.

Then I took my time and read through the contents of the paper; I must say I was interested in one thing that Halls said.

'Why are you giving this exam?' it must be clear that we are giving it to get admission to the academy but it seems like there was some other reason also.

I understood that after reading the paper, now, I also understood why Anya also has to give this exam.
