Archer and the girls nodded at the two girls, who returned their greetings with a smile. He turned to face his girls and started introducing them. He gestured to the group of young women standing beside him.
"First, we have Ella," Archer said warmly. Ella.
"Next, Teuila," he continued, nodding to the girl with vibrant blue hair and a confident aura. Teuila gave a nod of acknowledgment.
"Sera," Archer said, indicating the girl with a mysterious air about her. Her blood-red hair tied into a ponytail, Sera offered a small smile.
"And allow me to introduce Nefertiti," he announced, shifting his attention to the girl who exuded an air of regal composure and elegance. In response, Nefertiti nodded gracefully.
Archer then introduced Hemera, the girl with a radiant smile and an affinity for sun magic. Hemera greeted the onlookers with a warm wave.
"Talila," He said, pointing to the elf who nodded back.
Lioran smiled and greeted the girls; a voice was heard before they could talk more. ''The first examination shall be held momentarily, the Affinity test. Please line up and don't push in.''
He bid farewell to Archer before leaving with the two girls. That's when he saw the woman who started speaking. It was the same bear woman he had seen at the college ball. She approached a platform with three crystal-looking balls on a large table.
All the students lined up, but he waited. Leira turned to him and asked. ''Why are you waiting?''
He answered. ''I just want to see what Affinity everyone else has.''
She nodded as the group went to sit down and watch. Once they did, the first people approached the tables. Two boys and a girl put their hands on the crystal. The two boys glowed brown, and the girl's one shined green.
It continued for an hour until an orange-haired girl stepped forward with a big smile. Archer started examining her. She looked like a warrior with long hair; he noticed she was muscular for her age and had a sword on her waist.
After she put her hand on the crystal, it shined yellow and green, which pleased the professor administering the tests. Once the girl was gone, Archer turned his attention to the two girls who caught his interest.
One had flowing lilac-colored hair and otherworldly purple eyes. She wore a blue dress with armor that reminded him of the sea. The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was going to scan her but remembered what happened with Rowana and decided against it.
The girl approached the crystal and placed her hand on it; the thing glowed blue, then a bright white. This reaction surprised everyone but made the staff extremely happy. The girl smiled as she walked back to her group of friends.
The next girl caught Archer's curiosity; she had bright pink hair, pale white skin, and the brightest blue eyes he had ever seen.
She walked up to the crystal and placed her hand on it. When she did that, a baby blue color appeared. It was bright. But that wasn't the only element that popped, as black was also there.
After that, the Professors spoke to her before she returned to the crowd of people. This carried on for another two hours, and by the time half were done, the girls had joined the queue when they saw Nala, who waved them over.
Archer told them to go as he was still watching the tests. That's when he spotted an exotic-looking girl approaching the crystals.
The girl possessed rich brown skin and lustrous black hair, but her distinctive jet-black scales and striking yellow snake-like eyes immediately caught his attention.
As she approached the crystal, she extended her hand and gently rested it upon the magical surface. When Archer saw this girl, she mesmerized him, he thought to himself. 'Is she a snake demi-human?'
That's when three colors appeared: dark yellow, brown, and black. As Archer saw this, his eyes widened. She walked away but people moved aside and avoided her, the student's actions caught his interest.
He watched her walk away as he thought to himself. 'Three elements. She is unique.'
That's when he remembered the elements he knew of from his memories.
Fire – Red, Water – Blue, Earth – Brown, Thunder/Lightning – Yellow, Wind - Green, Light - White, Darkness - Black, Space – Purple, Poison - Dark Yellow - Sun - Golden Yellow, Moon - Grey, Metal - Silver, Gravity - Dark Purple, Nature - Light Green, Arcane - Violet.
Pleased with what he remembered, he pulled out some bread and started eating it as the line got smaller. He looked at the girls chatting with Nala and two other girls. That's when he saw the following people, and they were boys around his age.
The following two girls who grabbed his attention were a rabbit girl with white hair, brown skin, and red eyes; the other was an elf with brown hair and brown eyes. She was acting shy, which Archer found adorable.
The rabbit girl put her hand on the crystal, and it glowed silver and dark purple. The outcome shocked the crowd, which started murmuring. She had a smug smile on her face as she marched back to her group of friends.
When the elf put her hand on it, it started to glow light green and white, and the group she came with started cheering. The professors praised the girl for how strong her affinities were. It continued like this for a few more hours until the girl's turn.
Ella, Teuila, and Nefertiti touched the crystals. Ella's glowed brown and white, Teuila's glowed Blue, and Nefertiti's glowed violet.
When the professors and other students started gossiping, Archer smiled when he saw this. The three girls walked away as another three, Nala, Hemera, and Sera, stepped forward and took the test.
Nala's glowed Brown, Hemera's was a golden yellow color, and Sera's was a red/orange color, which shocked the older woman helping her with the test.
The crowd was murmuring at Sera's results as the color had never been seen. The old woman turned to her and asked in a curious voice. ''What magic do you use, girl?''
Sera's red eyes narrowed at the woman and answered. ''Infernomancy.''
When the old woman heard her, she nodded and motioned for them to go wait. Next it was Leira and Talila. As they put their hands on the cat, the girls shined bright red and then bright yellow, which put a smile on her face.
Talila did it simultaneously, glowing golden yellow, grey, and red. She was shocked but quickly made her way back to the group. A few more boys went next until it was Archer's go. There was still a massive crowd as he stood up.
All the girls smiled when they saw him. He approached the crystal and noticed even more professors appearing to watch. Archer saw Ophelia standing at the front with a look of curiosity on her face.
Once, he stopped in front of the artifact and placed his hand on it. Everyone waited, but nothing happened. A minute passed by, and Archer heard people gossiping behind him. The onlookers watched, initially unsure of what to make of it.
A white glow was seen as seconds ticked by, and something remarkable occurred. It shifted from white to red to blue, green, brown, yellow, black, and more.
Archer's hand seemed to be a canvas upon which the entire spectrum of elemental magic was being painted. The professors, who had seen countless affinities over the years, exchanged skeptical glances.
They had never witnessed such a display—the crystal pulsed with vibrant colors, each representing a different affinity. Gasps and murmurs rippled through the crowd, causing some to step back in sheer awe.
Archer's mesmerizing display of every known elemental affinity held them together in a trance. The crystal's glow intensified as though the very forces of nature were converging within him.
Energy crackled in the air, and the professors, renowned for their intellectual composure, could only watch in sheer amazement; their usual reserve shattered. A mana storm appeared overhead. High above the enchanted landscape, a breathtaking sight unfolded.
The sky, typically a tranquil blue, transformed into a canvas of otherworldly beauty. A swirling mana storm, a magnificent tempest of magical energy, dominated the heavens.
Vibrant colors danced in mesmerizing patterns within the storm. Brilliant blues and shimmering silvers intertwined with deep purples and fiery reds. It was as if the very colors of magic had been set free to perform a supernatural light show in the sky.
As the storm swirled overhead, it released occasional sparks of dazzling light, illuminating the land below with a magical radiance. The air seemed charged with an unseen power, and the winds whispered secrets only those attuned to mana could comprehend.
