Chapter 319 - Tower master's student

A week had passed since the new assessment rules were announced and today was the day of the assessment. It was to take place on the large outside field which stood in between the three different buildings.

The students were split into three different buildings depending on their class. You had the lower-class students who had the biggest building, but it looked the plainest and had the least amount of money spent on it.

Then the middle-class building, which was more modern looking and had better facilities inside. And finally, the upper-class building, which even though it had the least amount of students, was the same size as the middle-class building.

This was the nicest of them all with the best equipment and kept most up to date. Roland academy did this on purpose. They wanted their students to strive to work harder, and if you improved and moved up in class, you would be rewarded with better rooms and better facilities.

The problem was for some students no matter how hard they worked, they wouldn't be able to move up. Kaito was the perfect example of this, he was just born with weak magical power yet was very skilful and knowledgeable.

Which why he looked up to the old tower master Lenny. It was well known that Lenny had weak magical powers. Yet because of his vast knowledge and use of multiple different magical abilities, he was able to rise to the top and become tower master.

Out on the field, three stands had been built just in front of their buildings facing inward. Then on the other end, where four large seats with a table out front. This was where the judges, also known as the tower masters, would be sitting.

The first group to come out were the lower-class students, in total, there were around three hundred of the students who entered into the stands. Stood in front of them were four professors. Springett, Flynn and two other male professors Ray had only seen around the school.

The next group to arrive was the middle-class students. They were only around a hundred of these students, and with them, only two professors, a male and a female stood in front of their stands.

And lastly, the upper-class students only around thirty in total with the principal standing by their side. The principal, although busy with his duties, was also the current teacher for the upper class.

Before Fay would be in charge of the upper-class students but with Del gone, they needed a replacement for one of the lower classes.

As the upper-class students came out, there was whispers and chatter amongst the others. It was actually a rare occurrence for the others to see the upper-class students. Most of the time, they stayed indoors in their building or would be out on quests.

Only a few would go out and mingle with the other classes like Blake. That's when Ray had spotted the five Redheaded children come out and sit into the stands.

'They must be the troupe that Springett was in charge of?' Ray thought.

There were three girls and two boys, and it was as Ray thought. These were the ones that Springett personally took charge of and went around the city completing good deeds.

But the strange thing was Ray noticed was that Blake wasn't there with the Upper-class students, and Ray wasn't the only one who noticed.

"Hey, do you think he quit school after what happened?" Max asked.

"Maybe the rumours were true." Kaito replied, "I heard he could no longer perform his lightning abilities."

Just then, as everyone was discussing and talking about the upper-class students. The tower masters had arrived.

First came out Roy, who had arrived a little too late to the battlefield and nearly fought against Ray. As he went to sit in his seat, he waved to the crowd.

The person next to him, had bright purple lipstick and wore dark clothing all over. In fact, not a single piece of her clothing wasn't black.

Springett then turned to Ray as if to signal to him, that she was the person he needed to look out for. But to be honest, her description of her was spot on, and Ray didn't need Springett to confirm anything.

Then another female tower master arrived. She was quite short and wore a pointy hat with round classes on. As she hopped onto the seat, the boys and girls couldn't help but smile at her cuteness.

Then the last tower master had arrived, dressed in green armour all over and even had green hair to go with it. His clothing had several patterns that imitated that of a snake.

But when everyone saw the final tower master, they were surprised to see someone standing by his side. It was Blake. As the tower master sat down in his seat, Blake bowed down to him before leaving to join the other upper-class students in the stand.

"Maybe the rumours were true then?" Bliss said.

"It looks like it, the tower master must have really taught him," Norah said.

The little tower master then stood up, from her seat and started to speak. As she did, the voice seemed to be projected into each of the student's minds.

"Welcome everyone to today's assessment. Before we start, I shall explain the rules. We shall call out a number between one and four hundred. These set of numbers are for the middle class and lower-class students only. If your number has been called, then you must stand up and must state if you wish to fight an upper-class student or a higher-class student. We shall select a student at random, and the two shall fight. Based on your preference today, we will decide whether or not you will be moved to the classes above. I wish you all good luck, and may the assessment begin.

The little tower master then lifted her finger and shot out what looked like a firework above the centre of the field in the air. As it burst, a number was revealed, and the assessment had begun.
