Daimon and Aisha entered the third tent, this time there were two people waiting inside of it, one was easy to recognize, a middle age man with orange hair, tiger like ears and tail, a member of the Jolbaris family without any doubt, the other person on the other hand was a race Daimon hadn't seen before.

A woman that seemed to be in her early twenties, long silver-grayish hair, light blue eyes but although she also had feline like characteristics, her ears and tail had fluffy fur of the color of her hair but there were black spots all over them.

It would be a lie if Daimon were to deny he didn't look at her twice, if his memory was not playing him tricks that girl was a member of the snow leopard tribe, one of the highest ranked neutral races within the beast faction.

Still like a rose you might see in a road, you would probably stop to admire it but that is all, especially because he could feel Aisha's gaze carefully inspecting his reaction, it was not a secret for any of the girls how much Daimon liked Erin or Aura's tails fur after all, also she was in company of a Jolbaris.

But now it was not the time to think in such things, the man from the Jolbaris family had an unsightly expression on his face, the first one supposed to reach this test should have been Alexander but it was this pair of siblings which meant his Jolbaris family had dirt thrown to the face in front of all the aspiring students and other teachers.

"This is the third test, it's supposed to be optional, only those who aim to be selected for the elite class have to take it, because if you fail then you won't enter the academy ad punishment".

"Still, the test should be quite easy to pass for those who managed to get the first place, you only have to support a moderate amount of my mana pressure for 10 seconds… and be able to answer a question made by her", said the man while pointing at the other instructor.

Daimon nodded.

"Fine, I'll go first".

Mana pressure is something only those on the Arch ranks or above can use, a short explanation is that when one reaches the Arch ranks, his magic core goes through some fundamental changes, one of them being the creation of a domain and the second important one is the ability to exude its own "gravity", that's the concept behind the ability to fly, but let's not enter into too much detail for now.

While Daimon was being suppressed by the man's mana pressure, the other instructor spoke.

"What will you do if you were in a situation where someone give you the choice to save yourself or save someone you care about?".

Not even a second later Daimon answered.

"I will kill both of the people who suggest me such a thing".

The woman was speechless, not only because the young man in front of her didn't seem to be slowed down by the other instructor's mana pressure, but his answer wasn't exactly what she expected.

"He didn't doubt when he was answering and the word "both" was not a misspell, he is considering us as the ones making the suggestion… threatening an early stage Archmage and a peak stage Mage lord, I have to admit it he's got some guts".

Unfortunately, the other instructor did not find the answer worthy of praise, but of expulsion, without lessening his pressure he snorted.

"Are you threatening me kid? I can fail you if I consider it necessary, so maybe you should show some respect to your elders".

Daimon smiled.

"Well, I heavily doubt the academy expects a one-star mage to resist the pressure of an Archmage, maybe I would have believed it if you kept the pressure at the mage lord realm… and yes, by all means I'm threatening you".

"But don't take it too personally, those words are directed to anyone that has even the slightest malicious intentions towards me or my family, so if you aren't one of them, then I don't see why would get upset by my answer… "instructor" from the Jolbaris family".

Mana pressure is basically gravity applied over other people's bodies, although it has other effects like affecting the mental state of others, after eight years of using the shackles of despair Daimon's physical strength was not something to joke about, besides that how could the mana pressure of a mere early stage Archmage affect his mind, since he resisted the one of Arthur Jolbaris when he was only five years old. 𝑓𝑟ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝒷𝑛ℴ𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The male instructor's expression turned hostile, "I'm a vice principal and a respected Archmage, since when a brat on the one-star realm can insult me like this!!!", he thought.

But when he was about to augment the output of his mana pressure, the girl from the snow leopard tribe interfered.

"You approve, I will be the one evaluating the other girl, Aaron Jolbaris vice principal, how about you… go take some fresh air outside?".

Aaron doubted for a couple of seconds before he left the tent while slamming the curtains in the entrance, if he knew that Aura was observing all the situation from Erin's carriage, maybe he would have thanked the girl from the snow leopard tribe for saving him, instead of throwing a tantrum.

Aura was known for not being in the academy most of the time, so how could anyone know that in the same carriage that brought Daimon to the academy, there were two half emperors ready to rain down calamity on anyone who tried to harm their "darling".

Now that Aaron left, the girl from the snow leopard tribe continued with the test, just like Daimon said, the original difficulty of the test was to use mana pressure at the ninth star rank or maybe at the mage lord realm on exceptional cases, at first the girl didn't interfere because although she is also a vice principal, messing with the Jolbaris is never a good idea.

Although Daimon included her in his threat, she didn't have anything against him, so she decided to interfere before things could get out of hands.

The snow leopard girl used a mage lord level mana pressure to test Aisha, needless to say but she resisted it without any problems, due to Aaron's childish actions they have been in the tent for quite some time so the instructor didn't bother to made Aisha a question to approve her.

"You perfectly resisted my pressure, welcome to the elite class, you can return to your carriage and wait for the admission exams to finish", she said before giving them a white medal with a claw on it.

"This is the sign that you approved the last test, keep it with you, the prefect will ask you for it once the admission exam is over".

Daimon accepted the medals and he left the tent followed by Aisha, they both walked towards the place where the aspiring students were forming the line, contrary to what he expected there were few people left in the line, although he did saw Alexander walking to the third tent from where he was coming.

It was not hard to understand what was happening, both the first two tests were obligatory but the third one was only offered to those who fulfilled certain requirements, that's why there wasn't a line of people waiting to go to the third tent, out of the corner of his eye he only saw alexander and 7 or 8 other people.

If you take into account that there were thousands of applicants here, and that they were selected from the whole white fang galaxy since only the best of the best was allowed to apply for a spot in the main campus of the academy here in Lykos, it is easier to know how hard was to enter the elite class of this specific campus, the requirements varied in the secondary branches but one thing was sure, this wasn't the main campus for nothing.

Daimon saw the other applicants waiting in two different groups, in one of them the applicants had a proud and happy expression so it was easy to guess those were the ones that completely fulfilled the requirements, on the other hand the other group most of them had downcast expressions, while a few still showed some faint traces of hope.

The doors of Erin's carriage opened and they both entered, after the doors closed the first thing Daimon saw was Erin dragging him into her embrace, she pressed his face against her breasts before saying.

"Come here, tell auntie how did you do in the tests ?".

This was the new method for most of the girls to show affection to him, since grew up quite a lot in the past years he could no longer sit in their laps like before, well he could do it but it was embarrassing considering he looked old enough to be a teenager, not only that but he now considered himself to be continuing in more or less the same spot in his life were died before.

Up to this day Erin, Liz and Aisha were practically naked most of the time they were alone with him, while Elaine and Aura kept some thin lingerie unless they were bathing with him, as expected his body has started reacting to the beautiful women that surrounded him but he more or less could control himself… most of the time.

Daimon smiled; he separated a bit from Erin before sealing her lips with a kiss, Erin's tail wrapped around him which has become a habit after all this time, feeling his mother and Aura's jealous gaze, he stopped the kiss and then extended his arms towards them.

Without a second of delay Aisha jumped into his right arm, while Aura did the same.

"Mmm ?", he enjoyed pressing his lips against his mother's first, before doing the same with Aura.

Luckily the carriage of Erin was completely covered in magic formations to hide what happened inside of it, or all the presents would have gone crazy seeing that a one-star mage was now holding two beautiful half emperors in his arms while they lovingly leaned their heads against his shoulders… and the one who they thought it was his sister while in reality was his mother sitting in his legs.

Of course, Evangeline also had to participate or she would get bored.

"Perhaps your "predator" senses had become stronger over the years, I'm quite impressed that you haven't devoured any of them yet, perhaps you were waiting to enjoy your life academy to the fullest?".

Daimon gave Aisha one last kiss, while he ignored Evangeline for the time being.

"Mom, Aura… I will give you all my attention later, for now let me have this moment with Erin since I will be staying in the academy for a long time, okay?".

Aisha nodded, she stood from his lap an sat in front of them instead.

"That's something I really like about you darling; you always think on all of us ?".

Aura doubted for a moment but seeing Daimon's firm expression she sighed and sat next to Aisha, "Humph, seems like I have been too soft with him lately, later I will be sure so "train" him harder", she thought.

Erin smiled; she took Aisha's previous position sitting in Daimon legs.

"To think that the little Daimon who used to sit in my lap all the time, is now the one taking the lead, but I like it this way too ?", she said before kissing him.
