‘What’s a building like that doing in this city?’ Aiden thought as he didn’t take this place as religious for a single moment.

Why would they believe in gods or other things like that when they had access to magic?

That was also probably the reason why there was no presence of Gods in Nova.

Well, the founding families’ heads were pretty much treated as gods but that didn’t count at all since they were real people which some lucky people could see daily.

Then, wondering what this church-looking building was, Aiden decided that he would be going in to check it out.

“The entrance exam will start in fifteen minutes, make sure to sign up as fast as possible!”

The one who had just shouted that was a small little madam who was at the top of the stairs, right behind her was the beautiful church.

‘Entrance exam?’ Aiden thought as he hadn’t expected to hear such a word.

He had often heard people complain about school tests and stuff like that watching the television back on Earth, so he had a small idea of what those entrance exams were like.

However, as he thought a little bit more about it, he realized something which made a lot of sense actually—an entrance exam meant that this was a school of some sort.

If that were to be the case, then Aiden wouldn’t waste any more time and he would be signing up.

Since the name of this place was the Magic City, this “academy” would probably be related to that subject which was exactly was Aiden was trying to find.

That was his main goal for the first month of being here.

He wanted to obtain as much knowledge as he possibly could, that was his final goal before opening his shop.

He also had his subgoal which was to amass as much money as he could to have the funds necessary to open it, however, that was a lot less important if Aiden was to be completely honest.

“Where can I even sign up?”

As he said that, Aiden started looking around himself, trying to find some sort of desk or area responsible for such a task.

Then, as he did so, he caught the sight of someone with short hair and at that person’s feet, there was the same little creature as earlier.

‘There’s no way, right?’

Aiden seeing that there was a person who looked exactly like the one he had seen earlier started walking toward her, wondering if she were attempting to get into this academy or church or whatever it was.

It was the girl from earlier who was currently standing at the back of a line.

“What are you doing here?” the girl said before Aiden could even go up to her.

It seemed that she had noticed his presence when turning around and she hadn’t lost any time as she simply shouted what she had just said out loud.

Seeing the large number of people who were right behind her waiting, Aiden deduced that this was the place that he needed to go to get signed up for the entrance exam.

Then, as soon as Aiden got to the back of the line, the short-haired girl from earlier continued talking to him as she noticed that Aiden had clearly ignored her just now.

The little creature which had been at the girl’s feet did the same thing as earlier as it started hiding itself behind Aiden’s legs acting scared once again.

“Sunny, what are you doing, when did I ever mistreat you?” she uttered clearly offuscated by the actions of that small beast.

‘Well… earlier it did seem like you weren’t the nicest person, so maybe that’s why he’s clinging onto me,’ Aiden thought as he remembered her shouting at the end which had made the small beast unable to move anymore.

‘Wait, was her shouting earlier some sort of spell or incantation?’

However, Aiden quickly dismissed that thought as it simply made no sense as she hadn’t shouted anything that resembled an incantation.

It didn’t affect Aiden in the least as he hadn’t felt anything.

Seeing that the man in front of her wasn’t saying anything yet again, she continued to pressure him or rather she continued to throw as many insults as she possibly could toward Aiden.

“Hey, you little fucker, what’s the rank of your core?”

However, she once again didn’t get any answer from Aiden, but this time it hadn’t been on purpose since Aiden had no idea what she was talking about.

‘What’s a core?’

That was the question which had immediately gone to Aiden’s mind.

“Then, you little bitch, what about your affinity?”

Still no answer.

Seeing that the weird man in front of her wasn’t inclined to answer her, she decided that she would do the same as her and simply ignore her.

“Hmph, if you don’t want to answer then I’ll stop talking to you,” she exclaimed turning around, still without her beast who was still hiding behind Aiden’s legs.

Then, as she did so, a voice came from the top of the stairs.

“There are only 10 minutes left to sign up for the annual entrance exam and also please make a line, anyone who tries to double someone will be banished from the Magic Academy establishment.”

‘So it is a Magic Academy,’ Aiden thought, confirming his earlier doubts.

Now, that he knew that it actually was a Magic Academy, Aiden mustered a beautiful smile on his face as he got extremely serious.

He needed to get into this place to learn about the things that the short-haired girl had just mentioned.

Then, understanding that there were only ten minutes left to sign up, Aiden took a peek at the amount of people that were in this line and noticed that there were ten people in front of him which meant that he would probably have enough time.

“Hey, I’m sorry about earlier, could you explain to me, what’s an affinity?”
