A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 317 Affinity Test

Archer and the girls nodded at the two girls who returned their greetings with a smile. He turned to face his girls and started introducing them.

He gestured to the group of young women standing beside him.

”First, we have Ella,” Archer said with a warm smile. Ella.

”Next, Teuila,” he continued, nodding to the girl with vibrant blue hair and a confident aura. Teuila gave a nod of acknowledgment.

”Sera,” Archer said, indicating the girl with a mysterious air about her. Sera, her blood-red hair tied into a ponytail, offered a small smile.

”And this is Nefertiti,” he said, turning to the girl with queenly composure and elegance. Nefertiti nodded gracefully.

Archer then introduced Hemera, the girl with a radiant smile and an affinity for sun magic. Hemera greeted the onlookers with a warm wave.

”Talila,” Archer said, pointing to the elf who nodded back.

Lioran smiled and greeted the girls, before they could talk more a voice was heard. ʼʼThe first test shall be held in a moment which is the Affinity test. Please line up and donʼt push in.ʼʼ

He bid farewell to Archer before leaving with the two girls. Thatʼs when he saw the woman who started speaking.

It was the same bear woman he had seen at the college ball. She walked up to a platform that was set up with three crystal-looking balls on a large table.

All the students lined up but he waited. Leira turned to him and asked. ʼʼWhy are you waiting?ʼʼ

He answered. ʼʼI just want to see what Affinity everyone else has.ʼʼ

She nodded as the group went to sit down and watch. Once they sat down the first people approached the tables.

There were two boys and a girl who put their hands on the crystal. The two boys glowed a brown color and the girls one shined green.

It went on like this for an hour until a ginger girl stepped forward with a big smile. Archer started examining her.

She looked like a warrior with long hair, the girl was muscular for her age and had a sword on her waist.

When she put her hand on the crystal it shined yellow and then green which pleased the professor who was administering the tests.

That was when Archer paid attention to the next two girls who caught his interest. One had flowing lilac-colored hair and otherworldly purple eyes.

She was dressed in a blue dress with armor that reminded him of the sea. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old.

He was going to scan her but remembered what happened with Rowana and decided against it.

The girl approached the crystal and placed her hand on it, the thing glowed blue then a bright white color.

This reaction surprised everyone but made the staff extremely happy. The girl smiled as she walked back to her group of friends.

The next girl caught Archerʼs curiosity, she had bright pink hair, and pale white skin with the brightest blue eyes he had ever seen.

She walked up to the crystal and placed her hand on it. When she did that a baby blue color appeared but it was bright.

But that wasnʼt it as the color black appeared which pleased her and the professors. She walked back into the crowd.

This carried on for another two hours, and by the time most of the crowd was done, the girls joined the queue when they saw Nala who waved them over.

Archer told them to go as he was still watching the tests. Thatʼs when he spotted an exotic-looking girl approaching the crystals.

She had brown skin with black hair, but what got to him was her jet-black scales and her yellow snake eyes.

The girl was wearing Turkish-like clothing. She walked up to the crystal and placed her hand on it.

When Archer saw this girl she mesmerized him as he thought to himself. ʼIs she a snake demi-human?ʼ

Thatʼs when three colors appeared, dark yellow, brown, and black. As Archer saw this his eyes widened.

She walked away but people moved aside and avoided her, the studentʼs actions caught his interest.

He watched her walk away as he thought to himself. ʼThree elements. She is unique.ʼ

Thatʼs when he remembered the elements he knew of from his past memories.

Fire – Red, Water – Blue, Earth – Brown, Thunder/Lightning – Yellow, Wind - Green, Light - White, Darkness - Black, Space – Purple, Poison - Dark Yellow - Sun - Golden Yellow, Moon - Grey, Metal - Silver, Gravity - Dark Purple, Nature - Light Green, Arcane - Violet.

Pleased with what he remembers he pulled out some bread and started eating it as the line got smaller.

He looked at the girls who were chatting with Nala and two other girls. Thatʼs when he looked at the next people and it was three boys around his age.

The next two girls who grabbed his attention were a rabbit girl with white hair, brown skin, and red eyes, and the other was an elf with brown hair and brown eyes.

She was acting shy which Archer found adorable. The rabbit girl put her hand on the crystal and it glowed silver and dark purple.

The outcome shocked the crowd which started murmuring. She had a smug smile on her face as she marched back to her group of friends.

When the elf put her hand on it, it started to glow light green and white, and the group she came with started cheering.

The professors praised the girl for how strong her affinities were. It went on like this for a few more hours until it was the girlʼs turn.

Ella, Teuila, and Nefertiti touched the crystals. Ellaʼs glowed brown and white, Teuilaʼs glowed Blue, and Nefertitiʼs glowed violet.

When the professors and other students saw this they started gossiping, Archer smiled when he saw this.

The three girls walked away as another three, Nala, Hemera and Sera stepped forward and took the test.

Nalaʼs glowed Brown, Hemeraʼs was a golden yellow color and Seraʼs was a red/orange color which shocked the older woman who was helping her with the test.

The crowd was murmuring at Seraʼs results as the color had never been seen. The old woman turned to her and asked in a curious voice. ʼʼWhat magic do you use girl?ʼʼ

Seraʼs red eyes narrowed at the woman and answered. ʼʼInfernomancy.ʼʼ

When the old woman heard her she nodded and motioned for them to go wait. Next it was Leira and Talila.

As they put their hands on Lairaʼs shined bright red and then bright yellow which put a smile on her face.

Talila did it at the same time and it glowed golden yellow, grey, and red. She was shocked but quickly made her way back to the group.

A few more boys went next until it was Archerʼs go. There was still a massive crowd as he stood up, all the girls smiled when they saw him.

He approached the crystal and noticed even more professors appearing to watch. Archer noticed Ophelia standing at the front with a look of curiosity on her face.

Once he stopped in front of the artifact and placed his hand on it. Everyone waited but nothing happened.

A minute passed by and Archer heard people gossiping behind him.? The onlookers watched, initially unsure of what to make of it.

As seconds ticked by, a white glow was seen, and then something remarkable occurred. It began to shift, changing from white to red, then to blue, green, brown, yellow, black, and more.

Archerʼs hand seemed to be a canvas upon which the entire spectrum of elemental magic was being painted.

The professors, who had seen countless affinities over the years, exchanged incredulous glances.

They had never witnessed such a display. The crystal pulsed with vibrant colors, each color representing a different affinity.

Gasps and murmurs rippled through the crowd, causing some to step back in sheer awe.

Archerʼs hand, a mesmerizing display of every known elemental affinity, held them all in a collective trance.

The crystalʼs glow intensified, as though the very forces of nature were converging within him.

Energy crackled in the air, and the professors, renowned for their intellectual composure, could only watch in sheer amazement, their usual reserve shattered.

A mana storm appeared overhead. High above the enchanted landscape, a breathtaking sight unfolded.

The sky, typically a tranquil blue, transformed into a canvas of otherworldly beauty. A swirling mana storm, a magnificent tempest of magical energy, dominated the heavens.

Vibrant colors danced in mesmerizing patterns within the storm. Brilliant blues and shimmering silvers intertwined with deep purples and fiery reds.

It was as if the very colors of magic had been set free to perform an ethereal ballet in the vast expanse of the sky.

As the storm swirled overhead, it released occasional sparks of dazzling light, illuminating the land below with a magical radiance.

The air seemed charged with an unseen power, and the winds whispered secrets only those attuned to mana could comprehend.
