We arrive at the mages guild in a bit over half an hour, instead of just sitting there I meditated the whole time. I was the first to jump off the carriage and I slowly walk in careful to be ready to dodge any and all magic that could come flying at me I get inside and nothing come sent at me. "Don't worry, Guild master Freya already told everyone not to attack you." "Is that so." I calmed down, relaxed and let down my guard "Yes, please follow me to the testing room the test will start in an hour" We head to the end of the room, out the side door, down the hallway, up to the fifth floor of the tower. After finishing, what seems to be a maze, we finally find ourselves inside a large room with 10 rows of heavy wood long desks. [au. note: think college lecture hall] "Take a seat that isn't already taken." "Yes, thank you for leading me." She bows and then leaves. On the way here I was quite surprised that the entire building is just thousands of interconnected magic tools or enchanted items. Each room has a magic tool that expands the space of the room. The hallways are enchanted bricks to increase durability and every couple of bricks is one that is also a magical tool that uses mana, casts clean once a day and then automatically gathers mana again. The stairs are a magic tool that restores the person walking on them. Each of these desks has durability increasing enchants and the chairs have a magic tool for temperature control. The price would normally be insane to gather this many tools and enchanted bricks, but the mages guild has a training program to train the and skills. The price of the training program is the guild will use all your products created from your training and you will work for the guild's production center for a year. I walk to the back corner of the room and sit in the corner as all the other examinees fill in from the front row back. 40 minutes later A woman wearing a long robe with a concealment effect enters and shouts to gather everyone's attention. "Okay, everyone, look down here! We will hand out the test to determine your base ranking of the magic guild. It will determine your basic knowledge of magic circles, magic history, magic detection, magic tool creation and more you have until dark. Oh yeah, dark today is 20:00 so you have plenty of time." Well, this is once again my specialty, information, I memorized everything in every library I have ever visited. I could never learn skills but I was great at learning everything else while on my adventure I have visited all of the ten different Sage Towers and memorized every single page of all the tens of thousands of books in there. I could have even been a sage candidate...but I had... absolutely... no magic talent. None what so ever it was depressing. I had a bit of mana but I couldn't fire a single attack spell. The woman finally makes to my row and puts the test in front of me. I made my way through the test... but it was to easy all the questions on the first fourth of the test could be answered by anyone who passed the first layer of the sage towers. The second quarter was magic history this was a bit difficult as there were a few names I didn't recognize but I could use the process of elimination. The next half of the test was various miscellaneous magic skills and tidbits. It was hard but still manageable, that was until the last question. Like, seriously what is this. It is a question on the construction of the building, it basically wants an 80% accuracy blueprint from scratch. 2 hours later I walk up to the front and drop the test in front of the professor looking person sitting at the big guest take the food with my name label and head to my desk. I ate it quickly it was a good but not great sandwich and went to sleep waiting for Mr. prof. to grade it. This should allow me to have an hour nap.
