The Woods Keep City is the biggest in the southern part of the continent. It is filled with opportunities at the same time this city also hosts all kinds of people. Because of the upcoming enrollment of all kinds of schools. The City is bustling with all kinds of activity.

  At the front gate of the City, many people are lining up to enter the city one guard shouts "Listen up if you want to enter the city line up properly, Remember the Entrance Fee is 10 copper per head."

  Seven youngsters can be seen walking from the front gate to the center of the city. Their eyes are always wandering watching the wonders of the city.

  "Wow this is so sweet sweeter than our very own Moo Candy" Jonathan said while licking what looks like honey in his hand.

  "Jonathan let me taste it too" Gab said with shining eyes.

  "Fuck off go buy it yourself" Jonathan said with a mocking face.

  After a while the middle age man with a saber on his back stood up "All right kids stop playing and let's find an inn quickly before it gets dark".

  Shortly they found a shabby inn at the commoners district of the city. It's called commoner district because in this part of the city, all you can see is a maze of houses that if you will not look carefully you will easily get lost.

  "Four rooms please" The middle age man with a saber on his back said.

  "Sorry sir our inn is full and we only have two rooms available" a chubby middle age lady immediately reply with an apologetic face.

  "We take the two rooms" The middle age man replied after a brief contemplation.

  "Our room is 25 coppers per night, so that will be 50 coppers sir" The middle age lady said with a professional smile on her face.

  "Here" The middle age man said while handing 50 copper coins.

  "Here is the key the room is upstairs sir"

  While they are walking upstairs one of the elders asked "Leonel how will we divide the room?"

  "We take 1 room while the kids take the other room."

  When the elder said that he immediately convey it the kids.

  "But elder I'm a woman" Apple said with a frown on her face.

  When the elder hear what Apple said he feel annoyed but still explains because he doesn't want this High glow kid or Reigar resent him. "Apple since you are already a vital practitioner you can consider this as a form of training".

  When they get inside the room Apple immediately occupies the bed and said with a straight face "Boys should sleep at the floor as a form of training".

  When the other youngsters hear that their face immediately blackens but they just let it go.

  after they settle down they suddenly hear a low growl coming at the corner of the room.

  When Gab saw that everyone was looking at him he can't help but feel embarrassed. "Guys I'm hungry should we eat outside?".

  "No, we should just eat our remaining jerky I'm sure the elders would not like it if we go outside."

  The other youngster's nodded even though they are young. They're already sensible because to be picked as one of the children to drink a spark potion is already an accomplishment.

  While they are eating they can't help but feel bored so they immediately find a topic to talk to.

  "Max I heard that you piss yourself when we encounter the Wolf pack?" Jonathan said with a mocking face.

  One of the youngsters that are sitting at the corner immediately blushes "no no no I did not that's just sweat"

  Max look like a sickly person with an average face. He is also skinny that he looks like he only eat 1 time a day.

  Gab also adds "Still Elder Leonel at that time looks so cool when he slices those wolves with his saber"

  "Of course, Elder Leonel is a Vital force practitioner after all."

  "What is a vital force practitioner?" one of the youngsters asked.

  They are startled when someone asked a basic question when they saw who asks they immediately show a look of understanding. Because this youngster is Boruk one of the people that take refuge at moon village because their village also got attacked by a beast the only difference between him and Robert is that his parents did not survive.

  Robert immediately explains to him "Vital force realm is the next realm after Vital spark. Where you can move your Vital Energy outside your body. Of course, that is just the crude way of using your Vital energy that's why we have techniques."

  "Then the MoonFlower lifestyle meditation can make you reach the Vital Force Realm?"

  "Well it's possible but I don't recommend it because you have to put an attribute to your vital spark to make it more powerful and complement it with your technique. That's why we are joining schools so that we can have more options."

  "Okay thank you for explaining it to me"

  "You're welcome" Robert replied with a smile on his face.

  After a while, they heard the elder shouting in the other room "Now everyone goes to sleep we're still early tomorrow."

  Next day

  After everyone has breakfast they immediately go to the center of the city where the enrollment is being held. The youngster's faces are full of excitement and nervousness when they see a lot of children their age lining up at various school outposts. One school stands out the most because of the children that line up you can't almost see the end of it. That school is the most prestigious in the southern part of the continent the hall of ivy.

  When the youngsters saw the lines their faces immediately became pale.

  "What should we do?" Gab said.

  "We should line up now so that at least we can catch up for dinner," Robert said

  "Then see you guys we will try applying to other academies," Max said with a hesitant face.

  "Okay Good luck everyone"

  Only four people remain out of the seven. They also want to go to the hall of ivy but they know that you need Mid glow spark and higher to have a chance.

  When Robert saw that only four of them remain he can't help but sigh in his heart but he knows that adapting to loneliness is a path that a vital practitioner must take.

  After a couple of hours, it is finally their turn the first one is Jonathan who is trying to hide his shaking arms.

  A middle age man with an aloof temperament looks at Jonathan up and down.

  "hmmm medium glow, go to the hall at the back"

  When Jonathan heard that he is taken aback because he taught the middle age man is gonna test him he sighs in relief and immediately follows the middle age man's instruction.

  "Mid-glow next"

  When Robert heard the middle age man's evaluation of him he immediately knew that he is an expert because not all people can tell what your glow is when you are not trying to show it.

  "Another High-glow good good" The middle age man's face soften when he saw Apple.

  "We have pretty good seedlings this year" he added

  After everyone reaches the back of the hall there is another long line waiting for them. But this time it is divided between A long line and a very short line.

  A Youngster that looks like he is in his twenties approaches them.

  "Hello everyone I am Theodore Wilkins you guys can line up there" While pointing to the long line. "the Mid glow is in the long line and the High glow is in the short line now go."

  When everyone line up they immediately feel several gazes that are sizing them up. At another line the shorter one you can only see 4 youngsters lining there including Apple.

  These youngsters have indifferent expressions when they see that the mid glow youngsters looking at them they are trying to look aloof because they think they are one of a kind. Two girls and Two boys look when they see Apple approaching them but they immediately turn their gazes away except for the girl.

  "Hello I'm Stacy what's your name?"

  "I'm Apple by the way how long have you been lining up like this?"

  "16 hours Theodore said that we should keep this line until the enrollment ends. After that, there is a test"

  "What test?" Apple replied with a look of curiosity.

  "Well the mid-glow and the high-glow test is different so I don't know about them but our test is to find out what specialization we are in," Stacy said with a hesitant face.

  After a couple of hours of waiting the middle age man with an aloof temperament walks in and Theodore immediately stands up.

  "Sir Benedict, should we start the test?" Theodore said with a respectful face.

  "Start it"

  After hearing that benedict immediately shouted "Ok all mid glows all you have to do is keep up with me, those that can't keep up and want to give up you can all pack your belongings and return to where you came from The hall of ivy does not need people with a weak will." Theodore said with an indifferent face.

  "Now Start!"
