Chapter 10 - Beginner's Luck?

After hearing this, Kaito pulled her to an open ground in the school instead of where the entrance examinations will be held.

"Show me what you can do," he then said to her.

He still couldn't believe this, why ine world would she suddenly ask fo this? Unless she was a new born baby then she would know just how strong she was.

If someone were to hear her that she have never tried her powers, they would surely not believe her. But he somehow have an inkling that she really didn't try it before.

Looking at the trees around them, "Is it alright to cut them down?"

"No, instead we'll see the distance your powers could go. This is an open field after all."

It was a soccer field, this is where the students would have their extracuricular activities outside of their magic classes. It has a length of around 120 meters.

Feeling that it was troublesome to do it separately, Astra used wind on one side while used water on the other.

Kaito frowned upon seeing her water and wind, both were actually clear.

At the same time he could clearly tell that the strength she released were of the same amount. Which is something that is also uncommon.

Only a few could release their elements at the same time with the same amount.

Astra focused and released both of them at the same time.

And she silently cursed upon seeing both elements reaching the other end of the field. She knew that a number four player has no such kind of strength.

Kaito looked at her agape, if he was not mistaken, the farthest he could make would be atleast three fourths of the field. And he's already a number 8.

Astra slowly looked away from him, 'I really wanted to curse those in the mansion instead. To actually give me this strength, it's not helping at all. Instead it puts me on the spotlight.'

"Astra?"

"Begginer's luck?" she instead asked, feigning ignorance.

"Well, it is not my place to pry. But with such strength, you really can't be just a number 4," Kaito shook his head and said.

Then he remembered what she bought yesterday, they were make ups and seeing her face today, there was no make up at all.

Then his eyes landed on the numbers on the left side of her face.

'The only answer to that is that she used the make up for thsoe numbers. She was hiding her strength. If she was hiding it then she would be far stronger than I am.'

This made him frown even more, 'But if that was the case, she obviously never used her power before. Was she born a high numbered one? I am eight and basing it with the clearness of her elements then at the very least she would be on the same number as I am.'

As Kaito was drowning in his own thoughts.

'Well, I already held back. Really really held back. Though he seemed to believe that I never used my elements before. Then if he was smart enough, he would know that my strength was far superior,' she thought.

She looked up at him and seeing his frown and the look that shows that he was thinking something so deep, she couldn't help but to curse inwardly once again.

She will surely complain a lot once she meet those people from the mansion.

"Well, if you want to remain as number 4 in public. The strength you could show should be atleast one third of this field. But you really won't be able to deceive the teachers..." Kaito, out of his thoughts, didn't continue and just looked at her.

'Her elements were too pure, both of them. If you are born with two numbers, there would still be opaqueness on one of them. But for her, both are clear.'

He understood that she must be special. Too special actually for even his friend couldn't do just what she had done.

Well there are specially born people who could have such powers, so he was not too shock. He just didn't expect that a player would actually want to remain as number 4 in the public.

Most of the players were proud for being one when there are people who couldn't even be one.

Those who have special physique have strength stronger than normal players.

Having all these, he really couldn't understand why she wanted to hide everything.

If it was someone else then they would have their nose high and make other people acknowledge them as far stronger than them exploiting others for their own gain.

"Anyway, I already explained it. You can do that at the entrance exam and you will still be enrolled. Let's go now, I already got a text from the others," he then said taking the lead.

Astra shrugged and followed him. It seems he had decided to let it go and not ask her more about all of the things she didn't know and could do.

Outside a building as big as the field they were just at, she saw Shinobu and Takao whom she just met yesterday. They were waving at the two of them and in between them was a girl who has shoulder length blue hair and blue eyes.

She was also happily waving at them, Kaito energetically walked faster and approached them giving each a high five.

"This is Astra, Astra this is Kaname," he then introduced.

"Nice to meet you," Kaname smiled and extended her hand.

"The pleasure is mine," Astra replied with a smile.

"Finally, I'll have a female companion other than these three," Kaname happily said as she look at Astra.

"Let's go inside, the exam will be starting in another ten minutes," Shinobu checked his watch and informed them.

The group of five entered and Kaito instantly looked at Astra after seeing the volume of people. He couldn't help but laugh for Astra looks like she was ready to walk out instead.
