Chapter 9

After arriving in the hot air balloon, the three witches went to where the other witches were gathered. Meanwhile, Vernon walked towards the room where the students were gathered. At this time, Vernon went to a table that was the staff of this blimp.

Seeing Vernon's arrival, the staff said unconcernedly while handing over a key, "This is the key to your room number 105. You will rest there during this trip."

After taking the key, Vernon immediately came to a quite long street; on the right and left were doors, each of which also had its number. Vernon went to the door with the number 105, opened the door with the key, and walked in. There was only a bed in the room. Vernon put the bag containing the items he was carrying, such as clothes, on the mattress.

Suddenly, a voice came from the box in the upper corner of this room that seemed similar to the speakers on earth before, "To all students, it is time for lunch. Come to the dining hall immediately, and important matters will be announced there. So you must attend."

Hearing the sound, Vernon immediately walked out of his room. When Vernon came out, he also saw many other students who also came out and walked towards the dining hall. Vernon didn't know where the dining hall was, so he followed the other students.

By looking at their clothes alone, Vernon could guess their identities. Some people wore ordinary clothes like Vernon's now, and others wore luxurious clothes that were thought to be from a noble house.

After walking for a while, following the other students. Vernon arrived at the dining room. In the dining room, all the walls were transparent glass. Vernon could see the sky above and a hot air balloon flying over the vast trees.

After looking around for a while, Vernon quickly found an empty spot and sat down. There were many tables and chairs in the room. At the same time, the number of students is very small. So, there are still many empty tables in this dining room.

Moments later, some servants came out of the kitchen and gave each person a large bag. When Vernon got the bag, he saw that it contained enough dried meat for a person to eat five meals.

Vernon looked at the bag with confusion. Then he looked at the other students to see their responses. The other students were currently also filled with confusion. What were they being given this dried meat for? Did they only eat dried meat for lunch?

The dining hall was filled with confusion from the students. After all the students got the bag, a black-robed wizard suddenly appeared in the dining hall. The dining hall, which was previously quite noisy because it was filled with questions from the students, now became silent. All the students immediately looked at the black-robed man to find out why they were only given dried meat.

The black-robed man smiled cruelly and said, "You are all talented wizards from all over the Eisenbar Kingdom this year. As in previous years, we will give you another test before entering the Magic Academy. At first, it will be an elemental match test, after that you will face another test to find out how good you are at developing your talents."

"Each of you has received a bag of dried meat and a magic crystal inside. You will be given a badge. If someone has the badge, make sure another student does not take it. You will be in the forest for a month. Your task is to have at least five badges to graduate and enter the Magic Academy. Then how do you get the badge, hahaha..."

"You can defeat monsters or take them from other students. You can attack each other to get badges from other students, hahaha," the black-robed man said with a strange laugh.

"The food you have can only last for a few days. Finding food and drink is better if you want to survive for a month, or you'll starve. The monsters I'm referring to are the ones in the forest. We witches have put some badges on them. But you have to be careful; in the first test, no one needs to die, but for this second test, you could be killed either by monsters or... hahaha," said the black robe witch with another strange laugh that scared the students.

"Well... It's not that it's useless, and our goal is not to get you killed," suddenly, a man with a thin body but sharp eyes appeared beside the black-robed man.

The thin man wore a white robe and immediately said, "The purpose of this test is not only to discover how good you are at developing your talents. It can also be useful for you to get to know each other and work together as a team. As you can see, you all come from different towns and villages in the Eisenbar Kingdom. So, you might not know a single person here. Therefore, this test can make you work together to solve difficult problems. Therefore, you can help each other to survive this test."

"Helles Licht Academy, you're still pretending to be nice. All the witches already know how rotten you are," said the black-robed witch.

The thin man in white robes just smiled and said, "At least we're still better than you, the witches of Erresira Academy."

"That's enough, you two; stop fighting unnecessarily and don't waste any more time," a voice from a box in the corner of the room suddenly told the witch.

"Alright then, the test starts now!" said the man in the white robe.

Then the white-robed man took out a wand that had a light element crystal on it. The black-robed man also took out a wand that had a dark element crystal on it. They immediately read some words that Vernon did not understand at all.

Then, the white-robed and black-robed wizards raised their wands simultaneously and said loudly, "Teleport."

Suddenly, a huge magic circle appeared in the dining hall. The magic circle was so big that it encompassed all the students in the dining hall. Then, all the students disappeared from the dining hall.

Vernon, again, felt the light so bright that he had to close his eyes. After the light slowly disappeared, Vernon began to open his eyes and look around.

Vernon could see various trees and plants around him. It seemed that Vernon was indeed teleported directly to the forest. Vernon looked up but couldn't see the blimp in the sky. It seemed that Vernon was now not close to the blimp, so he could not see it, or maybe the blimp was made invisible by the witches.

Vernon said, "Then it's time to start surviving in the forest."
