The capital City of Fiore

Crocus

"Hey kid do you like this amulet it has a lacrima that can keep you warm when its cold. I'm sure your girlfriend will love this."

I looked at the vendor and smiled.

"Thanks but I'm single and I'm poor."

"Well, it's you're lost then."

In the bustling crowd, people are so active and pleasant as kids play on the side and people are busy buying and selling goods.

I looked at what the prices of what they're selling as I realized how poor I am.

'Those bastards only had 5000 jewels.' After I helped the young lady I apologies to her for the miss understanding I told her I was bathing in the river and my clothed were accidentally washed away.

I walked my way towards where people are gathering. There lay a gigantic board with the words "RECRUITMENT BOARD"

"Hey what guild are you joining?"

"As if I can join any guild here the requirements are too high. I'll try my luck with the magic institute"

I looked at the recruitment board as I read a few familiar names such as Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus etc.

I looked to the side as a recruitment flier took my attention.

Institute of Magical Arts.

Now accepting entries.

Requirements age must be lower than 25 years old. Please go to location x if you want to be tested.

Excitement aroused in my body as I thought.'If any organization has a vast amount of knowledge about magic its this.'

Institute of Magical Arts is one of the best magic schools in the continent and the jewel of Fiore.

I walked towards the location as a long line of people could be seen. The line was so long that it inhibited the traffic.

I walked towards the end of the line as I wait, and waited some more.

Slowly I was closer and closer to the testing table as I heard.

"Age?"

"19"

"How many spells do you know?"

"I don't know any spell yet but I can make small Ice Cubes out of thin air."

As he said that he opened his hand revealing a bunch small ice cube.

"Next"

"Wait please give me another chance please!"

After seeing what happened a bunch of people left the line further shortening the line.

"Age?"

"25"

The muscular man who had an emotionless expression looked at the man and spoke.

"How many spells do you know?"

"I only know one spell and it's called shatter."

As he said those words he took a stick as a small magic circle appeared in his hands. Suddenly his hand began to shake breaking the stick apart.

"Next."

"Just you wait I Gildarts Clive will be a famous mage someday you will regret you didn't let me join."

As I heard the name I Immediately remembered one of the most powerful mages of Fairy tale Guild, Guildarts. If only the Institute of Magic Art knew that they let go such a person.

Eventually, it was my turn.

"Age?"

"13"

I answered nonchalantly.

Immediately gained the attention of the crowd.

"What does this boy think he is? A prodigy."

Hahaha!

Everyone started laughing as they heard a loud voice.

"Shut up!"

The crowd immediately quieted down as the recruiter shouted.

"How many spells do you know?"

"I'm a Silver Dragon Slayer."

As I said those words I chanted inside my head.'Reinforced'.

"Silver Dragon Slayer Art Silver Body!"

Immediately a silver magic circle in an image of a silvery dragon surrounded me. As my entire body transformed into shining silver.

Everyone in the crowd was dumbfounded even the recruiter was left agape.

I punched out to my side where there was an opened area.

BOOOM!

A loud booming sound followed as my punch broke the sound barrier.

Immediately the crowd exploded.

"Wow is he noble or a disciple of some old monster."

"Damn it all he has to do train a little and he will turn to S class mage."

"Wow, a lost magic I've seen one I can finally die without regret."

The recruiter looked at me and spoke in a hurried tone.

"Do you want to join my division we specialize on armed battle mage I think you'll fit right in."

"Ow, thanks that's exactly where I was gonna enroll."

He gave me small emblem with a sword symbol.

Immediately I was led inside the building as well as a bunch of other people who passed just like me.

Inside there was one old man with a lacrima in the middle.

"Come here let's test your loyalty then."

He looked at me among the crowd as he signals me to move forward.

"Put your hands in the lacrima and speak about your past. It will detect if your lying."

I put my hands on the lacrima as I spoke in a serious tone.

"My name is Argus Geryon I live in a village right in the edge of Fiore. An old monster gave me this power. I am supposed to protect the village when I'm powerful enough. And I hope to be the strongest mage that ever existed. I am loyal to the kingdom of Fiore"

"Ok here's your medallion don't lose it, it's your room key, ID, and where you store your school credit. Go to your room that's where all the information you need is."

"Next!"

Immediately I looked at the wall at the side where I saw the map of the entire institute of magic arts. The only way to describe the size of the entire academy is too compared to the size of a small city.

After looking I realized that my dorm is on the other side of the academy. I walked toward the direction of my dorm thinking about the best weapon for me to use 'Swords?'Spears?'

"Ahh!"

I was so deep in thought that I accidentally ran into someone.

As I heard the feminine voice I looked at where it came from.

"Geez don't you look where you're going. What are you made out of rock you didn't even move. Look at my clothes I spilled coffee all over it."

I was shocked this blond bombshell that seems to be in her late 20s lady is laying in the floor dressed in a professional outfit not to mention from this angle I can make out her black lace panties.

My eyes glowed with red light as my blood starts to pump.'Shit control your emotion.'

"I'm incredibly sorry madam I was just lost in thought and I didn't realize where I was going."

I helped her up as she looked at me and my medallion that was hanging from my neck. Her eyes sparkled with a devious smile.

'She's planning something.'

"Your Argus Geryon right? How are you going to pay for my clothes and the trauma you have given me. Ah, I don't know if I can leave my house again after I was rammed by this beast to the floor."

The crowd immediately gathered around us as they cursed me.

"How dare you ruin the clothes of Miss Angelina. You have to pay."

"Yea how dare you she is grand inscription master of the academy."
