Trust the Pathfinder

Wallace and Katherine entered the Student Council's Office and saw Aaron at the center of the long table having a cup of tea while checking some data on his laptop.

There he saw 4 other students who was busy doing some paperwork. Only one of them bothered to look at the two newly entered students.

"Hey, Jenny. This is Wallace I've mentioned a while ago. Are you guys still busy?"

Katherine seems to be familiar with the other girl.

"No, we're actually done and just looking for something. Nothing important." Jenny answered as she looked at Aaron that still busying himself.

Wallace was just silent as they chatted. Aaron and others seems to have finished whatever they were doing and looked at Wallace.

"Thank you for bringing him here cousin."

"No problem. I'll leave him to you guys. Bye Bye!" Katherine bade her farewell as he left Wallace on the hands of the student council.

"Hi there Wallace. I'm the student council president Aaron Schmidt. You can just call me Aaron. This is Jenny, our secretary. Wesley, our accounting officer. Garry and Humphrey our ethics officers."

Wallace had a quick look at each of them as they nodded at him. He was actually more curious about the last two. It was said that only those with highly rated combat skills are capable of being ethics officer. He couldn't think too much about them though as he was still conversing with the president.

"Do you know why are you here?"

"Well, I was told by Katherine that you need someone from our course to be a representative or member of the student council. But I'm not sure how'd you assess me to will qualify for the seat. Will you be doing some test?"

"It's good the you are expecting that there is still a need for a test." Aaron smiled after Wallace spoke and was quite delighted to know that he seems to be prepared.

"The TMAC that will happen in a few months will be very important for us, so what we really need is a reliable Magic Technician. I need someone who can take a lead for the Artifact Forging section on the competition."

Magic Technician is what normally being called for this aspiring students who want to be a licensed Magic Engineer.

"Uhm. I understand."

"Good. For us to check your skills, we just need you to analyse something and give your opinion."

Wallace was actually quite surprised on hearing this. After all, he expected to be tested on his forging skills or something like magic structuring and related things about being a magic technician. His interest about this rose up as he waited for the test.


"We'll show a battle between two combat magicians. Observe it carefully."

Aaron arranged something on his laptop and gave it to Wallace.

"The battle will only last for about 5 minutes. Tell me once you're done watching"

Wallace was then shown a recordings of a standoff between two men. The first man was wearing a military suit and drawn his gun-like mana artifact. The other was wearing a blue cloak covering his body. Due to the angle of the video, he was unable to identify both of the man.

As time passes, it seems like the two men was done probing each other and the military guy started to pour mana on his artifact and pulled its trigger. An explosion of light surge from his artifact, it not only blinded people looking at it but a projectile also quickly approach the cloaked man that seems to be stunned by the blinding light.

The projectile made of mana neared the cloaked man but it just suddenly disappeared like a bubble. The cloaked man walked slowly to the military guy as the other tried to shoot him will all he got. He exhausted all the offensive skills he got but was unable to give any damage to the cloaked man. Wallace saw a variety of elemental attacks created by the military guy, Water Serpent Gaze, Molten Dragon's Roar, Wind Blade IV and other familiar skills was thrown.

He was amazed by the abundant mana pool of this guy but even more surprised to this cloaked guy that for some reason, look like an invincible person that is not being affected by any skills he received.

It seems that the cloaked man had enough of his opponent and attacked for the first time. He raised his hand and pointed his index finger to his opponent. Wallace saw as the cloaked man's ring lit up then the military guy received that attack and was suddenly burned. His response was quick as he was able to use water ability of his mana artifact and was able to protect himself. Also this time, the military guy have realized the difference between their ability and forcefully escaped instead.

The recording ended after the military guy was able to get away from the cloaked man by using all tricks and skills he had. It was too bad that there is no sounds in the recording but it didn't lessen the feeling of intensity on the fight and Wallace could clearly feel how dangerous the battle the two man fought.

"Hmm. That cloaked guy..." Wallace muttered as he was thinking of something.

"Are you done watching the video?" Jenny asked.

"Yes. So as I was saying... that cloaked guy, who is he?"

"A master. You will know someday." Jenny smiled, she did not really answer and teased him.

"Since you're done watching. What did you notice on the battle?" Aaron confirmed that Wallace was done watching and asked him a question.

The destructiveness of the skills that have been released by the military guy was actually scary if some other magician was on the receiving end instead. The battle was actually quite simple, one guy throwing skill and other guy receiving all of it but without any damage.

"For the military guy, I noticed that he uses six mana artifact at the same time. He was definitely not some unknown magician."

Unfortunately, Wallace wasn't familiar with any powerful magician and more knowledgeable on famous Magic Engineer from past to present. He further explained his observation.

"That cloaked man. He was definitely using Magic Jammer."
