I don't really know what happens, my memory of the Trial are fuzzy I know it was really hard, and I thought I wouldn't manage. I must have figure something out, because those message says I definitely won.

  I'm outside the Trial, it's day now so the frozen light is hard to see, but the eternal shadow is obvious. I left the square before someone saw me, and start walking.

  I always think better while walking. I don't think I will be able to get back the memory of what happen, and I think that 'system depository' must be something people get when they gain access to the System. But it seems to have worked, nobody ever get a blessing for their first class, so I had a little fear of it not working. But again, my confidence was well-placed.

  I choose to keep to myself the fact I got a blessing, it's always better to avoid attention when you are not able to protect yourself…

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  I spend the next few weeks reading whatever I can find in the city on time magic, which is quite a lot considering the mystery of the Trial here. Nothing really advanced and no fancy spells, but some treaty and encyclopedia about one of the rarer kind of mana.

  I don't think I will take 'Time Mage' even if it's an option for my class, any spells working with time has a massive magic point cost and is not really useful before very high level. And I may be a quarter dragon, we don't think I inherited the traits that increase Mana or magical abilities.

  And I probably didn't get the elfin affinity with magic either, only the ears and my very good hearing.

  Unless I get a legendary option, I think I will start with the basic Mage class, it's recognized everywhere as the best for generalist magic and a very solid foundation.

  And finally it's the day for leaving, it felt like forever when I decided to try the Trial, who would have guessed I could do it in only a night ?

  It takes me 3 days of travel by chariot to get to New Farlou, and I finally see the massive city for the first time. Placed on a massive plateau, the capital of the kingdom was resplendent. In the center, the seven towers or runes manipulate mana to form brilliant light that expend across the sky above the city. The magical construction was built by the founder of the country, the first king, and it allows the king to control the weather and the multiple defensive array around the town.

  Magic was always something important in our country, and even the Empire can't pretend to be better at it than us.

  Tomorrow is my birthday, and the day after is my first day at the academy. That mean my first night in the Magical city will have to be at an inn.

  I thank my ride, and take a room at the 'shadow of the third tower' inn, a mid-tier place close to the towers and the academy. The proximity to the academy is only the second reason I choose that particular place, the first is they offer private bathroom with bath !

  I take time to clean myself, after three days of travel I have to remove the dust from my hair and between my scales, which take so much time. The water is hot, and I can feel a hint of fire mana, and it's amazing.

  The dinner is less amazing, I totally forgot that the north part of the kingdom really favor spicy food, and of course the inn doesn't have anything for people with a more delicate palate…

  I'm going to bed with a stomach ache for sure. At least tomorrow, I will finally get my class !
