n(From MC’s perspective)

nA few hours later,

nThe flying artifact entered the region of dragon city. And now it is moving towards the southern region. Where one of the famous academies is located is called the Yellow River Academy.

n“We reached our destination. Call your student to come?” Kate Cohens said it casually.

n“My student?”John Meyers was dumbfounded. He waved his hand and replied, “I’m not ready for such responsibilities.”

nHearing that Kate Cohens rolled her eyes at him.

nCreak

nI exited the door and met Elder John and Elder Kate. Elder John introduced her to me earlier. So I’m more awed that she seems more powerful than Elder John.

nThe image of the triangular artifact comes to mind. She can fight level-6 wizards using the artifact. I wonder what her true extent of power is.

nSuddenly, She turned her head and stared at me. When our gazes met, my back went cold for a moment. Scary! I hurriedly averted my gaze and walked outside of the cabin.

nThen I see the change in the environment. The sky is covered with a powerful white mist which blocks my consciousness.

nSeeing the astonished face of Vincent, Kate Cohens chuckled and said, “Kid, we already entered the capital. Those mists were natural formations. So don’t spread your mental power casually.”

nHearing the voice from behind. My heart skips a beat. Natural formation? Capital? A look of astonishment appeared on my face. I thought we reached the academy. So it’s nothing but an area of the capital city.

nIt took me a couple of seconds to digest the face.

nTap!

nWhen I was lost in thoughts, I heard walking footsteps. Elder John and Elder Kate exited the cabin and came to the deck.

nJohn Meyers suddenly thought of something and said, “Vincent, the mentor will pick students based on the performance of the special program class.”

nThen without waiting for Vincent to reach, he further added, “If you want the advanced wizard to be your teacher. Then you have to perform well and attract their attention.”

nA hint of glint flashed in John Meyers’s eyes.

nDuring the journey, he thought about it a lot. Vincent is now targeted by the dark league and that evil organization is even willing to send a level-6 wizard.

nIn the future, it will only get worse. So he realized it will be better for Vincent to have a level-6 wizard or above as a mentor. Then there will be an extra layer of protection besides the academy.

nKate Cohens saw through John’s thoughts. She didn’t make any comments. Vincent appeared to be good with a calm temperament. Further qualities can be only accessed after his performance inside the special program.

nFeeling the gaze of John Meyers, I nodded in reply. Too many things have happened recently. I too feel it’s better to have some kind of backing apart from the academy.

nThe water inside the Capital is too deep. Then what about the academy? I bet it will be a similar case. But I’m looking forward to it. I have to meet my next sponsor. Fatty Lucas was generous. I don’t know whether I can meet a next fat pig here.

nTime passed in a blink of an eye,

n1 hour later,

n“Finally, we are home,” John Meyers uttered with a long sigh.

nIn the distance, I saw sky-high towers touching the sky. It looked breathtaking. I’m an ant compared to its magnificent size. And this is the same case with the flying artifact.

nIt looked miniature. For a moment, I forgot about the external surroundings. I’m finally reaching the wider world. This thought alone raised huge expectations in me.

nSoon we reached, even closer to the academy. Then I finally saw what it looked like. It is a giant castle, and the huge tower is nothing but the watch tower of the academy on four sides.

nThis? How many wizards are studying here? I blurted out in surprise.

nMy voice was not loud. It reached the Elders’ ears.

n“There are thousands of wizards. Depending on level ranks it might vary in numbers.”

n“But low-level wizards occupy huge numbers. As the level rank increases, the number will gradually reduce,” Kate Cohens said in a calm tone.

nThousands? A look of understanding dawned upon me. There are more wizards in level 2 compared to level 3. It’s not easy to break through. I sighed inwardly. Looks like it is not easy to stand out.

nFinally, the flying artifact lands on the platform outside the administration office.

nElder Kate and John exited one by one. Seeing that I followed outside. In curiosity, I raised my head to look at the sky. Even for wizards, the peak of the watch tower is not easy to see.

nKate Cohens talked to John Meyers before parting ways.

n“Alright, kid. I’m looking forward to your performance,” Saying that, she disappeared from the spot.

nThis all happened in a blink of an eye.

nThen Elder John led me toward the administration office for my registration.

nThe registration process went smoothly. There is no interrogation or screening at all. I guess it’s because of Elder John.

nThen the staff gave me a red magic robe, school site information, and some kits. I stored them inside my storage bracelet.

nJohn Meyers’s expression eases down. Most of the work is complete. Now he can take Vincent to the dormitory before parting ways.

n“Vincent, the special program will start in a few days. Until then you can take some rest,” John Meyers said.

nHearing that I felt grateful to Elder John. He doesn’t have to be deeply involved in my issue. But still, he cared. I know he is betting on my potential. So I shouldn’t let him down in the future.

nOn the other hand, John Meyers saw the complicated expression of Vincent. He immediately thought about Vincent’s patents. His expression turned solemn.

nHe said in a serious tone, “Don’t worry about your parents. I will keep an eye on them.”

nHearing that, I retracted my thoughts and replied, “Thank you, Elder John.”

nJohn Meyers waved his hand gently. By that time we had already reached the dormitory building. There is also a small administration office in front of the building.

nThe male staff registered my name and gave me an access code for the room.

n“The registration procedure is completed. So I’m leaving now. If you face any troubles, you can text me in the future,” After saying that John Meyers left immediately.

nRight after a wave of emotion washed over me. A new area, new people, new academy. It will take some time to calm my mood. Then I went towards my room.

nThe rooms inside the dorm were single rooms. So there is no problem with privacy. Soon I arrived in front of my room. Room no, 206.

nCreak .

nThe room opened when I entered the access code. I walked inside and looked around before closing the door. It’s a nice room. A single king-size bed on the right side. With a table and chair nearby. A beautiful window in front. There is a bathroom and toilet on the left side.

nThere are also wooden cupboards for placing items. Then my gaze fell on an antique lamp near the bed. This whole room gives me a vintage vibe. It’s not as modern as it appeared to be.

nIs it because of the old heritage they are keeping this way? A thought appeared in my mind. Then shaking my head, I lay down on my bed in exhaustion.

nTime passed in a blink of an eye,

nA woke up a few hours later. Then immediately went to take a long bath. Only after changing into comfortable clothes, I felt relaxed.

n“It’s time to tell mum and dad about the journey, “I mumbled under my breath. Then I typed a text message to them regarding my journey.

nAfter sending the message, I pick the rule book from my storage bracelet. A strange glint flashed in my eyes. In this magnificent academy, I wonder what terrible rules are in place.

nOpening the book, I started to read slowly. After one hour, I let out a huge sigh.

nThis is not only a rule book but a complete introduction to the academy. There are the Outer house, Inner house, Core house, True house, Elder house, Council house, Vice-dean and finally Dean of the academy.

nThe hierarchy is a bit straightforward. The houses are further divided into halls based on different magic powers.

nThis category is a bit similar to the weapon palace. But they are divided based on weapon users. Here, I believe every weapon user comes under the weapon hall.

nMy eyes gleamed with twinkle. To reach a higher house one must rise through ranks.

n1. Outer House – Level-1 & Level-2 wizard,

n2. Inner House – Level-3 & Level-4 wizard,

n3. Core House- Level-5 wizard,

n4. True House- Level-6 wizard,

n5. Elder House- Level-7 wizard,

n6. Council House- Level-8 wizard,

n7. Vice- dean- Level-9 wizard,

n8. Dean- Level-10 Supreme wizard.

nMy hand trembled a little when I recalled further information. The dean of the academy is the supreme wizard. My goodness! How old is he? I gulped saliva in disbelief.

nThe Yellow River Academy is more powerful than I thought. I can say it’s one of the top powerhouses in the whole world.
