Two massive doors stood in front of the remaining candidates, It radiated an oppressive aura like the gate's of a dungeon boss. It opened slowly, methodically almost as if mocking the candidates in front of it.
A few people couldn't help but gulp at the sheer aura it released.
The door opened and all the candidates were surprised with what they saw. Behind those oppressive doors stood a Break room filled with all sorts food and desserts. Mouths watered at the sight and a few wanted to jump at the food. A few where sceptical, showing their cautious nature.
But before anyone could start eating, a projection of Mr Forceus appeared above them, frightening a few.
"The food in this place are mana regenerative foods, able to regenerate lost mana. You all have 2 hours to rest and heal up your mana before the final test begins. " He said before the projection disappeared.
All the participants relaxed some heaving a sigh of relief, that last exam took a toll on them. Some though still were on their guard, eyes scanning every nook and cranny looking for any sign that this was another test.
Izana looked at them, scoffing slightly before moving to a table filled with food. His movement caused a stir in the crowd, then like a broken dam every one rushed to tables to get food to eat.
The table Izana sat by was empty until a guy with dirt brown hair and matching eyes sat by his left side. He nodded at Izana before digging in. Another youth with half white — half black hair sat on the right, unlike the fiery aura radiating from the youth with brown hair the second youth's aura was quiet, restrained, calculative. He sat and started eating.
A blonde haired girl with a face that radiated cockiness sat by the brown haired youth. Another girl with bright red hair with a beaming smile sat by the half haired youth, what drew more of my attention was her draconic eyes that blinded with curiosity as she looked at me, Another girl sat by her, black hair mixed with black clothes made her look gothy and opposite her, sat a boy with sunken cheeks, slightly pale with raven black hair.
These were the Seven Pillars of the first years.
Leo Diel (Brown hair)
Hatake Sasaki (Half white — Half Black)
Selene Arthur (blondie)
Scarlett Crimson (Red Hair)
Sarah (Goth looking girl)
Lenny (Pale guy)
Izana Raiden (MC)
The room instantly turned silent as the seven special candidates sat together. All the candidates looked at them interest evident from their eyes.
For a moment no one spoke only the clinking of fork and knives helped drive away the silence until....
"Wow you guys are so cool! I thought the test would have been a breeze for me which would have been boring but I'm happy seeing tough competitors! You especially Golden eyes! " Scarlett spoke with genuine excitement as she looked at all of them.
Silence reigned again. Izana was speechless, not only did she treat the test like a fun thing she also called him golden eyes. For the first time in a long while Izana was genuinely speechless luckily, someone else spoke.
"Thinking like that is a bit tomorrow minded Red hair. " Selene said with a tone that reeked of arrogance. "I am Selene Arthur but you can call me Selene. I am also the strongest. " After saying that she released her mana causing pressure on the weaker candidates but for the other pillars it was not heavy.
"The Arrogance. " Leo Smirked as he released his own mana. Both Sarah and Lenny followed suit.
Sasaki said nothing and released his own mana. His reserves noticeably higher than the others. Scarlett smirked and released her own which was on par with Sasaki's own. At this point most of the other candidates couldn't move. Some even passed out the pressure kept increasing.
"Hah..... Can you all end this Charade some of us are trying eat. " As Izana finished his sentence a pressure instantly erupted overwhelming the other six candidates instantly but disappeared just as swiftly, his eyes still glowing "Or do i have to force you to stop. " Izana said before he continued eating.
All six withdrew their mana before settling down in silence. They felt it, that wasn't just mana it was something deeper, more regal.
'Damn! I'm awesome. Sage did my mana increase again. '
'Slight. That wasn't slight. '

'Raiden Authority huh. What a fitting name. '
The exchange between Izana and Sage didn't take a second.
Izana closed his eyes causing the glow to remove.
"That was so cool!!!! " Scarlett looked at Izana with sparkling eyes causing him to choke on food he was chewing which drew laughs from the crowd.
'The little Aura I had is gone. ' Izana cried internally.
Time passed in a blink if an eye and the two hours elapsed. Instantly all the candidates got teleported to a new arena.
"I hope you all enjoyed your rest, sadly it must come to an end. This is the final test, pass this and you enter the academy, fail then you can try next year. " Forceus stopped so his words can echo in their mind.
