"And this is?" Elisa found a little boy hiding behind Mason.
Mason smiled as he patted the head of his younger brother who is hiding behind him, "This is my younger brother, Isaac. I take him with me to the academy's city because no one else could take care of him here. Luckily, I got permission from the captain of this starship."
"So that's how it is. I was wondering how non-student allowed to get into this starship. However, since you got permission from the captain, then I won't comment on it." Elisa chuckled.
Mason keeps smiling as he didn't mind her words.
"Alright, let's sit!" Mason breaks this awkward atmosphere.
"Isaac, are you thirsty or hungry? I'll get the staff to bring you one."
"No need, big brother. I had one in the car." Isaac refused.
"Alright then," Mason fixed Isaac's tie, which tilted slightly.
When Elisa is watching this, the corner of her lips lifts slightly, "You are very close, heh..."
"It so? We used to be like this. Isaac only has me left; therefore, it's my responsibility to take my role as a big brother properly" Mason.
"So enviable. I wish I had a big brother too, alas couldn't have one.
Maybe I should've considered myself to be your new little sister." Elisa giggling playfully, "Right, big brother Mason?"
Mason smiled wryly, "That's a bit trouble..."
"Just kidding! I don't know what my father will do to you if he knew that you became my brother."
Mason's mouth twitches slightly. It seems that she is aware that I knew her identity. Well, she is way too famous in the town after all.
Suddenly the door opened by itself, revealing a middle-aged man in a red uniform. He is a tall, muscular man with hair resembles a lion. There are three whisker markings on his cheeks.
Even just from his appearance, Mason can guess that this man is a Leo.
The Leos are famous for their appearance, which has animal characteristics.
After all, Leo based ability is Wild Transformation. They were able to transform into wild animals and use skills based on the wild animals they manifest.
Meanwhile, Mason himself was a Libra.
Libra based ability is Balance. His first gain ability is advanced: Telekinesis.
This ability allows Mason to manipulate objects with his mind. However, with his current capability, he can only move mass equal to what he could physically carry.
"Yo, It seems everyone was already here. Joe, tell the staff we can depart now!" The middle-aged man instructed.
The person behind him, Joe, received the order, "Yes, Captain Leon."
Captain?
Mason, Elisa, and Isaac stand up straightly as they bow their head in respect.
"Ha-ha-ha, there's no need such formality. There was saying, 'I was born like a wild and raised with wildness.' Therefore such formality is not suitable for someone as wild as me."
Captain Leon laughs as he taps Mason's shoulder, "My name Leon Bahamut, everyone here called me Captain Leon. No need to hesitate if you need anything because this starship is exclusive for you all."
"Thank you, Captain Leon."
Captain Leon sighed, "Nevermind. Sit down! let me inform you about something."
The three of them sat down again. Mason and Elisa were curious about what the captain was going to talk.
"Did you know that the selection test you participated in Hart Town was only the first selection?" Captain Leon asked.
Mason startled slightly. He honestly never thought about it. After all, he officially accepted as Unicorn Academy's student by Professor William back then.
"I heard from my father, but the details are unclear," Elisa answered honestly.
Captain Leon crossed his arms on his chest and nodded, "Mm, let me explain it to you then..."
"The selection that you took while in the town is a determination whether you deserve to be one of the Unicorn Academy's students or not. If you can meet all the requirements and passed the exams in the first selection, that means you have officially become a Unicorn Academy student this year."
"But it's not over yet, because there is still a second selection waiting for you in Unicorn City. The second selection is a practical test. Unlike the power test that you did in the first selection, this time, the new students will conduct mock battles in replica urban settings."
"New students are given an hour to use their abilities to kill monsters in order to score points depending on the individual monster's point value. The more points one student earns, the higher their chance is to get accepted into an elite class."
"Elite class? Does that mean the class divided into several levels?" Elisa asked.
"That's right," Captain Leon explains patiently, "This second selection aims to designation which class you will assign in the future. The class in Unicorn Academy itself divided into three levels: Normal, Talent, and Elite."
"Normal class is the lowest level class, and Elite class is the highest class. However, you must remember this. How you assign in a certain class does not depend on how high your bloodline is, but it depends on how high a score you can get in this second selection."
Each killed monster is worth a certain amount of points, which assigned according to their difficulty level:
10 Point - Yellow Monster
20 Points - Blue Monster
30 Points - Red Monster
50 Points - Black Monster
0 Point - White Moster
White Monsters are massive monsters scattered through the city replicas to confuse and weed out people from getting high scores. They were not meant to be fought, which is why they're worth no points.
"Any question?" Captain Leon looked at the two fellows.
Mason raised his right hand, "Captain Leon, if this is a selection, that means there will be a lot of new students participating, right?"
Captain Leon didn't deny it, "That, of course."
"Then, what if one new student accidentally attacks another new student? because in an event like this, crash or even conflict is inevitable."
Hering this, Captain Leon unexpectedly laughed as he gave a definite statement, "The academy does not forbid you to attack other new students as long as you are not heavily injured and killed your opponent. However, I suggest that you think twice before attacking other new students because each of your actions and decisions will be an overall score in the eyes of the judges."
"I understand, thank you, Captain Leon."
Captain Leon turned to Elisa, "Any more questions?"
"Where and when will the practical exam take place?" Elisa asked.
"When you arrive at the academy's city, you will immediately be transferred into the Illusionary Unicorn City. It estimated that all new students will arrive there three days from now. That's when the selection begins."
"Illusionary Unicorn City?" The two reveal the doubt.
"Illusionary Unicorn City is a city made of illusion. It means that all objects inside the city, including the city itself, are an illusion. But don't underestimate this illusion; once you get hurt, you will really get hurt. It's no different from reality."
Captain Leon stood up as he put his hands on his waist and laughed, "That's all I can tell you. If you have any other questions about the upcoming election, you can look for me in my room."
"For now, you need to rest and prepare yourself mentally for three days later."
Upon saying that, he left the room.
