The Devil WithInn 51 Raghnall The "Genius" 1

High stage magic users were usually in their late twenties!

That's what she heard according to Solomon!

The man felt her disbelieving stare and he can't help but feel smug.

"I'm Raghnall, the 'Genius' Mage. Nice to meet you."

He winked at Inna before gently flicking her nose.

Inna got out of her trance and blinked.

"Wait, genius Mage? But aren't you a warlock?"

Everything about this guy just confuses her!

"I am. And I am also a mage. It's because I am so very much talented that I can do both."

He smirked.

Inna scrunched her face up in disgust.

"Overconfidence much?"

"It's not overconfidence if it's true."

He countered smugly.

"Now, since I told you my name, you tell me yours."

Inna instinctively answered.

"Call me Inn--"

But halfway, Inna stopped herself.

She remember that wasn't supposed to use 'Inna'!

"Inn? Like those places for lodging? With the food and adventurers?"

"That's a weird name…." He trailed off, masking his amus.e.m.e.nt.

"Ingrid. My name is Ingrid."

Inna stiffly said.

"Oh, it's INN-grid! I get it. So, what should I call you? Inny? Griddy? Ninny?"

"Ninny sounds more fitting."

He snickered.

Inna glared at him and was about to retaliate when she felt the crowd started to get restless again.

"Whatever."

She weakly countered as she tried to see what was going on.

"They're taking out the evaluation stones."

Raghnall answered the question in her mind.

"All of those who pa.s.sed were told during the entrance exams that their evaluated power levels will correspond to their respective cla.s.ses. So, it's quite nerve wracking for them."

"After all, if you enter the lowest ranked cla.s.s, then you'll be at the bottom of the food chain."

"And you'll most likely die before you graduate."

"But, Eldora's standards are too high so it's unlikely that there will be someone in the lowest ranked cla.s.s."

Inna gulped.

It's not unlikely at all!

Suddenly, as if feeling her rising anxiety, the students became more restless. Inna curiously looked around and saw two identical floating crystals, each by Elder Fang's side. They both looked similar to the crystal in the Sun Breeze mansion, except, it didn't glow as bright nor was it as big.

"Now, students please make your way towards the crystals and we will begin sorting you all out to your respective cla.s.ses!"

After Elder Fang's instructions, a staircase made of soil suddenly erupted from the ground. It was high enough to reach the crystals that were floating in midair.

Soon, students slowly made their way up with nervous expressions. And as various students got their results, Inna began hearing repet.i.tive words amongst the crowd.

"Why are they saying the names of the flowers?"

Inna repet.i.tively heard the flowers, Anemone, Lotus, and Chamomile, being announced.

"In the Combat department, the cla.s.ses are named after trees. While in the Magic department, the cla.s.ses are actually named after flowers. These flowers also symbolizes the nature of the cla.s.s as well as the proficiency of the student."

"For those who aspire to be stronger Mages, if they have more than enough talent, they go to the Pansy cla.s.s, which is the top cla.s.s under Mages."

"Second to that cla.s.s would be the Heather cla.s.s and then the Anemone cla.s.s. These flowers are chosen because they embody the 'Mages' ideology. They enhance and protect. Pansy enhances memory and information comprehension, while Heather and Anemone are known for their protective powers against diseases and many other things."

"For those who wanted to be stronger Warlocks, the highest cla.s.s they can go to is the Oleander cla.s.s. Second to that cla.s.s is Jequirity cla.s.s, and then the Belladonna cla.s.s."

"These flowers were chosen because of one common thing. They are all beautiful but poisonous plants which is a befitting symbolization of the curses done by witches and warlocks; beautiful, but deadly."

"For those who wanted to focus on being a Priest, the highest cla.s.s is the Lotus cla.s.s, followed by Gerbera cla.s.s and then the Chamomile cla.s.s."

"And as I've mention, they were chosen because they embody the meaning of being a Priest. The Lotus grows in mud yet its flowers remain clean, a great symbolism of purification. Another would be Gerbera which has the ability to purify the air around itself. While Chamomile has magical healing properties that doesn't have any side-effects."

"And of course, the most famous elite cla.s.s, the Rose cla.s.s which embodies a 'Genius' student. Why? Because the Rose can be a charm that gives protection from evil, is medicinal, and it has poisonous thorns that can kill a grown man in seconds. So, this would mean that the student in this cla.s.s is proficient with at least 2 jobs."

"And an example of that 'Genius' student is right here."

Raghnall winked.

Inna ignored his wink but not his words.

She may not know most of the plants, but one thing was for sure.

Roses didn't have poison!

She was about to ask him about it when she suddenly remembered something.

"According to Eriden, Mana made magical beasts and magical plants as better versions of the originals."

Those were the words she heard Solomon say.

So, this must mean that the flowers back in her world are different from the flowers here.

The flowers here must really have magical abilities.

While deep in thought, Inna felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Hey, almost everyone's done."

"So, it's my turn now. Watch me shine."

He grinned childishly, his boyish features becoming more charming.

Inna pinched her thigh to stop herself from being entranced.

He may be cute but his personality is 'bleh.'

But.....

Argh, beautiful people are beautiful people after all.

It can't be helped.

She walked beside him as they made their way towards one of the stairways.

Raghnall shot her one last wink before swiftly climbing the stairs.

After reaching the crystal, he held out his hand and waited for the crystal to show off his current power.

After a few moments, there was a small chime before the floating words then showed themselves.
