Magic With You

December 25 Year 20,345

Kence can be seen standing outside the majestic gate of the Escardon Academy. The gate was white and gold in color with a staggering ten meters tall height

Kence almost strained his neck just to see the topmost part of this gate. The gate was tall and its width won't lose out too

It won't be a problem for the gate to have fifteen large carriages enter it at the same time. In fact, the way inside the gate have long flower beds that were aligned properly and divides it into multiple roads

There were also some butterflies flying around the flowers making it more beautiful

"Young Master Russel, I can only accompany you up to here. Guards are not allowed as long as the examination is still ongoing" Noom said to Kence and he can't stop himself from worrying

Noom's heart can't calm down if he was away with his naive master. Who knows what kind of things Kence will experience inside? Noom felt like he's a father that brought his son in the gates of hardships

"Alright, thank you Noom!" Kence said while nodding his head causing Noom to worry even more

Escardon Academy is where both dragons and snakes gathered. The students there are all extremely talented and has powerful backing

Kence might have a high backing too but his mind is too simple! It was easy to make a fool out of him

Besides, the Academy put great emphasis on talent. The students cannot blindly use their backing if they don't want to be expelled

"Young Master, please be careful" Noom reminded Kence that gave him a reassuring smile. "I will! See you later!"

Kence entered the academy while taking his magic phone from his spatial ring. He taps the button in the middle of it and opened a map

Since Kence was adopted by the Royal Family, he can have access to things like this. But of course, the map is not complete and only showed the way to the examination area

Kence walks while following the direction on the map and ignored the stare he constantly received. Noom said that he should be careful and he will!

The Academy was really large, Kence literally walks for ten minutes before reaching the testing area

It was an open space with a platform in front while behind that platform was a building that has different rooms. Those rooms are for the students to take the written examination

The Academy accepts students from the first of December to the last day of the same month. One might think that the Academy has a lot of students because of the long examination period but that was not the case

They actually have an average number of students even though the admission rate is low compared to most academies. But that is because of the scope acceptance

They don't care if you came from Escardon City, the Three Great Kingdoms, or outside of the four. As long as you showed talent, you can still pass and be accepted!

That is why even the rich and influential figures can't send just anyone that they like to the academy

For the rich, it was easy using resources on any mage they want to help them advance in ranks. But one's comprehension is up to the mage's own talent!

If the examinee failed in the written exam, then they do not have the right to be a student of Escardon Academy. Powerful and influential figures might be able to have their descendants or anyone they like to enter the Academy easier but those who enter from the backdoor must at least have a passable level of comprehension

-----

When Kence arrived at the examination area, there are already around fifty examinees there waiting for the exam to start

Almost all of them wore clothings that are high in quality. In truth, the students in the Academy mostly came from powerful family or organization in Escardon City itself and the three Great Kingdoms

Only a few have a humble background or come from outside those four. That was not because there are no talents from normal people. It's just that, cultivation resources can make anyone a 'normal genius' so what more if the person is already a genius? That is the advantage of people blessed ever since they were born

Kence took Noom's advice to be careful and only stayed at the back to avoid too much attention to himself but sadly, it was ineffective

All eyes instantly turned on Kence as soon as he arrives. This caused his face to heat up and a wave of blush spread on his cheeks

Kence doesn't know what to do in this kind of situation and only stayed at where he currently is while lowering his head shyly. Too bad, his innocent actions just aroused everyone's curiosity on him and some were even about to talk to him

Fortunately for Kence, a hand tap him gently on the shoulder. When Kence looked at who tapped him, his face glowed brightly as he was given a pleasant surprise. He finally saw someone he is familiar with!

"Hi" Xian greeted with a smile while his heart started beating fast. He can't help but be happy when seeing that Kence's face brightened as soon as the youth saw him

Xian doesn't know that whoever it was, as long as that person is familiar and kind to Kence, the youth would be relieved

Kence didn't show his nervousness to Noom as he doesn't want his guard to worry about him. However, he was in fact anxious to be in a place where he doesn't know anyone

Seeing someone he knows and it is even the 'kind Brother Xian', how can Kence not be happy?

"Brother Xian, what are you doing here?" Kence asked while smiling back at the Prince

That caused Xian to zone out as he stared at Kence's adorable face for a few seconds without saying anything. Xian was wondering inside him, how can someone be this cute? And why only now did he notice how cute Kence is?

"Brother Xian?" Kence called out at seeing the Prince didn't answer him

Xian woke up from that state and cough awkwardly before answering. "I-I was assigned to help with the examination today"

When Xian said those words, he can't help but blush as a bit as he was half lying

In truth, Xian knows that Kence will take the exam today and he volunteered to help with the examination. With Xian's background and backing, how can the Academy dare give him this kind of menial job?

The people around can't help but stare at the two. One is a short beauty with blue eyes and hair. While the other one is a handsome man with silver-white hair

The interaction of the two made a beautiful painting and all those who have motives towards Kence earlier keep themselves in check

What a joke! Just who is Xian? He might not be the Cold Blue Kingdom's Crowned Prince but he is even more famous than the Crowned Prince

Whether it be in looks or talent, he was blessed in both. Even normal Princes won't dare antagonize him or else, consequences will follow

They are attracted to Kence but they still love their lives

"Wow! Brother Xian is really hardworking!" Kence complimented sincerely causing Xian's face to turn redder

Who knows what Kence will think if the youth knew that Xian was only assigned because of him. Because of that, Xian decided to change the subject "Are you nervous?"

As Kence's impression of Xian is extremely good, the youth becomes honest and nodded his head. "I am nervous, I'm afraid to make mistakes in the exam" Kence replied with a pout making his noticeable moist and red lips to become even more noticeable

"Ahem ..." Xian let out a cough first before composing himself. Kence is too much of a tease. Every simple action of his can make any men go crazy. "Just do your best, okay? I know that you are talented and hardworking"

Kence was about to answer when his eyes caught someone. Someone that he is extremely familiar with. Someone that he always remembered when his mind is not occupied by anything

"Y-You're that pervert!" Kence shouted in shock

-----

When Kence entered the Academy's gates, Noom stayed for some time. Not only because he is concerned with Kence but also because of his heart

There is something telling him that he should wait outside the Academy for a while and a surprising thing will happen. Noom's heart also has a strange sense of anticipation

Since Noom is free until Kence finished the exam, it won't be a problem for him to wait for some time

However, he instantly gets bored after just a few minutes of waiting. After all, what's interesting in watching people with various backgrounds entering a ridiculously tall and wide gate? Nothing!

"Should I wait for a few minutes?" Noom asked himself before deciding to wait for a few more minutes

However, nothing eventful happened and his boredom grew. Noom sighed and turned his head but he accidentally bumped into a person behind him

Noom's body instantly shivered as he felt electric shocks when his body made a contact with the one he bumped in to

Noom ignored it to apologize but when he looks at the man he bumped, all words were stuck in his throat

A handsome face was literally in front of him. If it's just a normal handsome face, Noom won't care much. He came from the Cold Blue Kingdom that has an uncountable number of beauties and handsome men

What caused him to be petrified was the familiar feeling that the other man is giving him

Noom's throat instantly felt dry as if it remembered something. He had a strange craving for something hot, hard, thick, and long

If that was not enough, Noom can feel how his backdoor twitch just by the mere sight of the man in front of him

These feelings weirded out Noom and he doesn't know why the other man can affect him this much to the point that his body instantly heated up

Noom was in that state and the other man is no different. Krad stared straightly at Noom's face and it causes joy to bud in his heart while all sorts of indecent thoughts swirled inside his mind

Krad instantly got a hard own just by staring at Noom. He doesn't know why he had the urge to protect and shower the other man with love. Even Krad felt that it sounds completely absurd as this is his 'first time' seeing Noom

On Krad's side was a youth with a cold expression on his face. Calter instantly got annoyed at seeing Krad having a staring contest with a stranger

Noom also felt familiar to Calter but the young master ignored it. He doesn't have time to entertain every single thing that becomes familiar and unfamiliar to him in the past month

As the Academy's gate is just in front of Calter, he doesn't need Krad to guard him anymore and left his guard

Calter doesn't have the patience to wait for Krad to win the staring contest

A black Magic Phone appeared on Calter's palm and he opened the map of the Academy for the directions

As the academy is really huge, even Calter spend minutes just to arrive at the exam area

Calter only arrived for a few seconds when a loud voice entered his ears "Y-You're that pervert!"

That voice is extremely familiar to Calter and when he looked at the source, he saw a youth staring at him with wide eyes

The youth's finger was also pointing at him and he was suddenly accused as a pervert

Calter's eyes violently flickered when he saw the youth's appearance. What he noticed first was the pair of blue eyes that haunted him for the past month

The eyes that he can never forget no matter how many times he has tried. Who would have thought that he will see those eyes in this kind of situation?
