/NEX ACADEMIA/
It is located in the sky in the middle of all the continents and above the ocean, to show that they do not belong to anyone. Anyone who wants to visit Nex, they go through the Teleportation Circle which is exclusive to Nex, even rulers of the sky have to use the teleportation circle rather than fly.
There is only 5 teleportation circle throughout the world to the people knew. Therefore, during the Nex Academia admission process, the teleportation station is filled with a lot of people and also that day they can use it for free, so commoners can take the admission test.
/The Dawn Kingdom/
At the Teleportation Station, many people waited in the queue and it slowly moved. Some rumors and chatter can be heard among the people,
"Did you hear that, Dawn Hero and Saintess will be joining, if we make friends with them, then we can have blissful life?"
"Ahh...don't be an idiot, do you think they will be friends with commoners like us? Dreaming is good, but you have to face reality, ok buddy"
"...jerk"
'chatter'
"We haven't seen them, did they already leave?"
"No, they may have yesterday in order to avoid this fucking line"
"hah hah that's possible"
'chatter'
"Your element, buddy?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"It's not like you can hide it, right?"
"...yeah, well mine is sand, yours?"
"I have a dual element, spark and ice"
"Tsk...a dual element talent, you will easily pass the test"
"haha haha"
Like that, they are passing the time. Inside the station,
"Sir, you cannot enter without the ID" the female guard said politely.
"But, I lost my ID and that's why I am showing this token" said a young man who had auburn black little bit curly hair which almost covered his red eyes, wearing a full hand shirt and black pants, and had a black trident on his back.
"Sorry sir, we were clearly ordered to allow only those who have ID" the guard replied.
"What should I do...he said once I showed the token, they will allow me to enter the Nex Academia.." a young man pondered as he mumbled.
"Why didn't the next one come yet?" another female guard came with irritation.
As walking towards them, token caught her eyes and suddenly hide her irritation and smiled professionally, "Ohh...so you are a disciple of the Duke family.....sorry for our negligence sir...you can go and stand on the teleportation circle" the female guard said.
"Ohhh...Thank you, Madam" a young man said and then went to stand on the teleportation circle.
"Senior, what are you doing? we cannot allow anyone without ID" the female said with fear.
"It's ok Lily, that token was given by the Duke family, so we don't need to worry about it?" Senior replied.
"B-But..."
"You don't know need to know everything, sometimes knowing lesser is better..ahem..well then resume your work" the senior said with a tense face and left to work.

In the middle /NEX ACADEMIA/
In the teleportation station, a blue beam of light disappeared as a young man came into view and as he walked out with disorientation.
What came to his view was, flying cars and bikes, tall buildings, drones, complexes, etc., and he just stared at them like a country bumpkin.
A Pamphlet blocked his view and he snapped out of awe. After taking the pamphlet from the guard, he walked towards the stadium. During that time, he was awed by this place, which is totally different from the kingdoms. He felt like he was in another world and everything here is new to him; so he carefully followed the route with a little smile on his face.
After reaching the destination, he can see so different kinds of people and his mouth wide open, 'fox ears...that's tail...ohh.....long ears..elf, I guess?, wings....aahhh....fins..oceans...right?....ohh small little boy...no that should dwarf...so many people....wow' he inwardly surprised. Then he walked to the registration office.
"Show me your ID" a beautiful female officer asked.
"I don't have an ID, but I have this Token" a young man replied as he showed the token.
After the female officer verified the token and then asked for his details,
"Name"
"Asher Eli"
"hmmm...royalty?" she questioned with a frown.
"hmm?...no, no I'm just a commoner" Asher Eli explained.
"I am sorry sir, I don't know whether knew it or not, but no one is allowed to have a surname. That's only for Royalty and if you use a surname, your whole family will be arrested and 10 years in prison and sometimes spot execution...sigh...even the Dukes' children cannot use the surname except for their father's first letter...how come you are a disciple of the duke?" she explained with a frown and a hint of doubt.
"Is that so.....but Asher Eli is a single name though" he scratched his head.
"NO, it's either Asher or Eli and a piece of advice, do not say this to anyone...sigh...bump...ahem" she sighed then cleared her throat.
"sigh...then....use Ash...no use Eli" he said but thought about something and decided to change.
"Ok, Eli then...age?"
"21"
"Rank?"
"Don't know"
"Spell level?"
"..Don't know"
"Element?"
".... don't know" his shoulders slumped and he awkwardly smiled.
"...."
"Eli, age 21, Dawn kingdom, correct?" the officer irritated and sounded like an order.
'gulp'
"Yes, Madam" he gulped.
"Go to Area-54," said as she gave a route map and temporary ID.
"Thank you" with a little bow, he left.
The female officer seeing the back of the Asher Eli disappeared, with a little smile she continued her work.
As Asher walked toward the general area and waited in the long queue. No one talked to him and he doesn't care; after a long wait, his name was called and walked to the allocated area.
