Happy 8 days until my birthday to you too
<Snipped quote by Duthguy>
Oh yikes. I'm sorry you have to go through that. :(
Second worst medical I have ever had to deal with close to my birthday (Friday the 12th) On july 10th 2013 I heard I would need chemo after one of my testicles got removed earlier that year, and this year I asked for a replacement for the laptop I got back then to have something to do in the hospital. Almost wonder if that has something to do with it. But yeah anyway (in English) my sign is cancer and I had to deal with cancer on my birthday once, fun coincidence :(
That was one of my longest posts ever, if not the longest I ever wrote
Albie was actually somewhat surprised that they old man didn't try to come up with fake info about David Abelona and just admitted he never hear the name before. It did make him seem a bit more trustworthy but Albie remained on guard either way. When the offer for a more private location was outright refused because the old man wanted to see the tryouts Albie didn't know what to say. He hadn't expected the old man to just leave. Luckily while Albie got rid of the magic bullet he had been preparing the old man turned around and warned him about some noble named Snyder Glassard, not only telling him the type of magic Glassard used but also that he was a sadist. "Thanks."
Having gotten at least some info Albie made his own way to the coliseum, seeing the blue-haired girl again on the way. He wondered if she was also going to try out for the Magic Knights and if he should use the chance to talk to her. Unfortunately it seemed she already was in a conversation with another noble and Albie didn't want to interrupt or wait until they were done and risk missing the selection.
Albie hurried into the coliseum and arrived just in for the opening speech, relieved he hadn't missed the explanation of the trails. He was less interested in the introduction of the higher rated squads' captains since he was pretty sure he wouldn't end up joining them. That said he did pay attention, especially as the captains of the Black Bulls, Birusk of Elysia, and Green Mantis, Giles Lavaretz, were mentioned. While he didn't say anything he did agree with the fact that Bisera was hot, but that applied to all the female captains and he had illusions of having a chance with them.
When the first tests were introduced Albie couldn't believe his luck. The first was all about ranged magic and the second one was practically made for his Spinning Mana Arrow, even though he had never tested it on stone. As Albie waited for his turn he paid attention to several of the other try-outs, like the blue haired girl who used some kind of bomb magic judging by how she destroyed the pillar.
Another contestant who had first seemed unremarkable used magic to break the column with his own first, something Albie would never be able to do himself. "Okay, that is impressive." What really blew him away was the pinkhaired girl who fired two magic bullets at once during the same test. He had never tried something like that before himself but figured she should be able to copy her pretty well.
Number 212 Albie Finch
Albie walked towards the official who called out his name and while the rules of the test were explained to him again he studied the movement of the targets trying to find a pattern he could make use off before his time started. Just as he had gotten a good idea of how the target moved his test started. Like most other contestants he used magic bullets, both to hide his actual skill and to save mana. While he didn't use rapidfire like Lanner did Albie did fire magic bullets from both hands, the entire time trying to predict where the targets would be instead of aiming where they were. He didn't count how many he hit but he was sure he had done at least decently well, even with him missing a few on purpose.
The next test wasn't something could pull of with Magic bullets so Albie took out his grimoire. "Arrow Magic: Spinning Mana Arrow" He spent a good bit longer charging it than normal before sending the blue arrow shaped mana towards the column.

Well, I'm suffering from (what is likely) erysipelas on my foot, so that is fun

I will get a post up within 24 hours
"Great, there goes the beach day." Olivia jokingly complained at the suggestion of asking Professor Cranston about the crystals. "Seriously though, I'm curious as well. And now that you mention it I did feel oddly drawn to "mine"." She used finger quotes at the word "mine" since she knew all too well it wasn't technically hers and that depending on What Cranston told them about the crystals they might have to give them up. She hoped she would get to keep it though.
Now that she knew the others were also likely drawn to the crystals, Olivia noticed something. Almost all of them picked a crystal that at least somewhat matched the color of their clothes. The fact that Cleo picked the purple one did make her wonder if it was just a coincidence so she didn't mention it, but she decided to keep it in mind in case Cranston wanted to know if any of them noticed anything else weird.

I'm half suspecting Albie's new "friend" to be either a magic knight captain and/or a member of the Revolutionaries
There was no way Albie was going to give his name, not if there was a chance it would allow the old man to use magic against him. So instead he tried to think of a Noble that was likely to join the exam but ended up just saying a random name he made up from the top of his head "How about David Abelona?"
The offer of credit was way more tempting and unless the man screwed him over Albie had every intention of honoring it, and not just an information broker would make for an useful connection if he did manage to become a magic knight. The way he looked for eavesdroppers was a bit suspicious since just offering information wasn't illegal or even cheating but Albie figured that letting someone get any knowledge the man had to offer for free was bad business. "Maybe we should talk somewhere more private. Do you know any good places?" He still didn't fully trust the situation but he could use any edge he could get so he might as risk it. If the old guy did lead him to a more private spot he would prepare a Magic Bullet, since even if it was weak it didn't need his grimoire and would hopefully catch any would be attacker off guard.
