Mother Of All Systems - Chapter 16 Scouts Test 1
Clay is now inside of a huge, bright and fancy carriage. accompanied him are Olivia and his parents.
it will take about 3 hours from from the gregory’s castle to the City of Cando one of the largest city at Evergreens territory.
they are now halfway to their destinations as they happily chat while the time goes by.
clay’s parents cannot go together with him as they have some urgent matters to do so.
unfortunately one of their territory is being attacked by a horde of wild beast. the strongest that has been spotted is a Super elite class demonic beast which is comparable to a 3rd class wizard.
clay’s parents need to personally go their to see to themselves the overall damage cause by the horde of beast and also personally give relief goods. Evergreens has always been a good lord to their followers.
time flies and they are now near at their destination.
a huge crowd of people can be seen by a far. they are gathering at the center of the city where mostly all of the events are always held.
there is already a lot of people gathering. ranging from children all the way to Oldman and woman. with also different status from peasants to nobles.
peasants wore tattered clothes with the color of gray. peasants always wore gray clothes as they are not allowed to wear any color other than gray. because there’s a law that stated that only nobles and royalties can wore any colors.
as the peasants wear torn clothes the nobles were dressed in vibrant and colorful clothes as a sign of their status.
the event has already started an hour ago there is already some children that has been accepted. mostly nobles and a few peasants. nobles are always in the advantage side as they have already a good seed.
when clay’s carriage started approaching people stop everything on what they are doing for a moment. then after a moment of silence people started gossiping.
” the crest looks familiar. what family is that?” a young woman ask.
” idiot thats gregory apparently they have arrange a marriage proposal to the evergreens.” the young woman’s friend replied.
” what really? aren’t they enemies? then if that is true they just want to get close to merlin” she replied.
” that’s what i also thought” her friend replied.
” what’s with that carriage its even as big as my house” a middle age man said.
. . . .
. . .
. .
.
people continue for a while until the carriage door open and all of the people stop chit chatting as they dont want to offend a family that is only one step away on being a king.
then after the door is open a young gorgeous woman that has a Vuloptuous body appeared next is a huge handsome man appeared following by a two kids a boy and a girl.
undoubtedly they are clay, olivia and her parents the duchess and the duke.
as they all go outside the event also stop for a bit as they gathered all of the attention and the children stop going to the front to test their aptitudes.
then a clap can be heard at the back and someone say” is there no one anymore that will test their aptitudes for magic?” a girl said and she looks young must be 15 – 16 years old.
when the people heard this they go back on what they are doing before. as all of this unfold in clay’s eyes he just talks some things at his system.
‘So Magi-chan whats the plan?’ clay said.
[ the plan is you should be the last person to test his affinity. because when you do it now the crystal ball will just shattered and the others will not have a chance to test theirs. i doubt they have an extra tester. even though i can suppress your affinity to not break the glass i wont. just trust me dont ask anything. when you will test your affinity just pour again your mana instantly.]
‘ so it is like last time? i dont know whats your planning but it must be something good. ‘ clay said.
as the time flies people notice that the boy from the dukes carriage have not test his aptitude yet.
” why is that boy not testing his affinity?” a curious middle age man said.
” dunno maybe they already test his affinity and turns out he dont have affinity for magic so he just go here the accompany them and the girl but not test his magic.” the man beside him replied.
” but i thought they were both genius?” the middle age man said.
” rumors is just a baseless rumors after all ” the man beside him said.
” En ” the middle age man just nodded.
. . . .
. . .
. .
.
people started talking about on why he is not testing his magic and people started to come up to some conclusions like he dont have an affinity for magic and saying this like rumors are just rumors.
clay can clearly hear all of this and ask the system.
‘ Magi-chan you said you can control the power of my affinity right?’ clay said.
[ Yes. ]
‘ then how about suppress my all of my affinity first and i will tell you the affinity you will show and also i will just told you if you can break the ball? i will just show them that i have 4 affinity then you can just break the glass as you say.’ clay said to Magi-chan in his mind.
[ Affirmative. Thats a good suggestion.]
Olivia has been long tested her magic and people had a daze expression at olivia’s 3 affinities and the ice affinity, even the scouts face cannot hide the shock in her face. the scout is already a 4th class wizard the same as joseph.
as children get passed and failed. clay is just standing there.
there are already a lot of kids that get accepted and a 1 hour left until the event stops. the deadline is 3pm and its already 2pm.
dorothy(Olivia’s mom) have a worried expression on her face so she goes to where clay’s at and ask.
” Clay why aren’t you testing your Affinity? ” Dorothy said while looking at clay’s hazel eyes. yeah hazel eyes because clay use disguise only in his eyes to make his eyes change to hazel color. because having a reptilian eyes is abnormally unusual. when they first saw this, clay said that Mr. Joseph taught it so that they dont have anymore questions and believe it.
” uhmm auntie dont worry im just analyzing all of the children and i want to know all of my possible rivals so i want to test in the end to know them well” clay said convincingly.
dorothy is quite shock she did not know that clay is capable of thinking like this a his age.
” then if that so? there is no worries anymore. ” Dorothy smiled to clay then goes back to where the duke is.
after 5 minutes clay now started to walk up front. he calculated that if he wait until the last minutes. the people will go back to their homes so he decided to test his affinity now.
” hehe im excited to see their expressions” clay said while chuckling internally.
a lot of people saw clay. they thought he will not test his affinity. people started to paid attention to him. but they just expected that he only have a 1 affinity.
” hmmp he only just test his affinity now because he dont want to get ashamed at his 1 affinity” a young woman said.
” yeah right that must be it if not why did he wait for so long and let people started going home.” a woman nodded and others also agree. all of this people are mostly nobles.
clay is already at the front.
” so would you want to test your affinity? ” the scout said.
” yes please do” clay said while smiling.
