nThe city was surrounded by thick, tall walls with symbols inlaid on them.

nOn the wall were magic towers that had blue orbs that contained immense energy just waiting to be released.

nWhen they got close to the gate, Prince Bryon raised his right hand and shot golden flames into the air.

nIt was a signal for the soldiers on the walls to allow them to pass.

nShouts were heard from the wall. The symbols on the wall lit up and the air above the wall shimmered, causing a fiery dome to appear.

nIt didn't take long for them to get close to the fiery dome where a space in the dome opened up and they quickly flew past the wall.

nWhen they got past the wall, cottages and farmlands could be seen scattered across the area.

nAs they moved closer to the center of the city, littered streets and dilapidated neighborhoods came into view. The people walking on the streets were thin, frail and they put on rags.

nThis was the Slums.

nBlake felt pity for those living in the slums, but he couldn't do anything about it.

nNo matter the world one finds himself in, the poor will still exist… He sighed helplessly.

nThey quickly flew past the Slums and into the mid-region of the city.

nOn the streets of the mid-region, carriages of different colors were being pulled by horses to different destinations. People could be seen walking to and fro the streets and stores were seen scattered around the streets.

nThe entire mid-region was lively and cleaner compared to the slums.

nBlake looked closely at a factory that had a chimney; black smoke rose from the chimney but before they could escape into the atmosphere they were converted to clean air.

nThis could help Earth deal with air pollution… Blake Thought.

nHe was impressed by the technology, He was surprised to see that a world that used magic cared about their environment, sadly it was not the same for Earth that couldn't use magic.

nWhen Chief Bryon saw the faces of the trio he chuckled

"The factories in Synder empire are mandated to install purifiers in their factories or else they will be shut down.

"

nSoon they entered the center region, Blake was stunned by the beauty of the region.

nManors with large gardens and driveways were mainly seen here.

nThe center region was not as crowded as the mid-region fewer people were on the streets and fancy carriages with different emblems could be seen.

nThe center region viewed from above was a pattern of buildings that clearly demarcated the rich from the poor.

nWhen they reached a magnificent palace that radiated sunlight like gold, the eagle began slowing down

nAt the center of the palace, surrounded by black crossed flags, was the statue of emperor Cinder holding his flaming scepter of power.

nThe eagle touched down in front of the general's palace. They got down from the eagle and soldiers came to welcome them.

nStanding in front was Prince Bryon's secretary, Joan Sanders.

nJoan had a shapely figure, glossy skin, and smooth blonde hair that was tied up neatly into a bun. Her facial features were nothing exceptional, but her regal aura made the nobles greatly desire her.

n

"Give them clothes to wear and send them to the magic school and get them registered

" Prince Bryon gave out orders to Joan and made his way to the door.

nWhen he was some steps away, he turned and said

"Oh... Get them something to eat first.

"

n

"Yes sir

" Joan saluted after Chief Bryon gave out the orders. They were already used to his forgetful nature.

nJoan stepped up to the trio with a smile on her face and said

"Please follow me

"

nShe led them into the palace and showed them to their rooms.

n

"Food and clothes will be delivered to your rooms, after taking your bath and getting some rest we will be heading to the magic school

" she informed them of the plans, and she made her way out of the large corridor.

nThe trio looked at each other and without saying anything they turned and entered their rooms.

n…

nBlake stepped out from the bathroom and gave out a loud sigh...

"What a day!

"

nfunny enough it hasn't ended… he made a self-deprecating smile.

nHe put on the brown leather shirt and pants that were placed on the bed by the servants and made his way to the table to eat his food.

nHe was served Glazed chicken and salad by the side.

nHe raised his fork and knife and inhaled deeply. His tongue began secreting saliva as the aroma of the food wafted into his nose.

n

"Looks good, smells good….

" he dived into the food.

"uhmmm. Tastes good!

" he said with a stuffed mouth.

nAfter he was done eating, he rested for thirty minutes before a servant came to inform him that it was time for them to head the magic school.

nDo we have to go to school, can't he be our sensei... He stood up and followed the servant to where the carriage was parked.

nBrian and Castiel were already in the carriage when he came and beside the door of the carriage was secretary Joan.

"please take your sit, we will be heading out

"

nThe carriage driver opened the door of the carriage and bowed slightly as a polite gesture for him to enter.

nWhen Blake was at the door of the carriage, he sensed someone was staring at him, he turned his head towards the palace that was ten stories high and looked at the window.

nThe image that appeared on the window was only the reflection of the sky, but he felt the gaze of someone was on him.

nHmm… seeing no one was there, he turned and entered the carriage.

nAfter the secretary Joan entered, the carriage driver closed the door and drove the carriage out of the palace.

n...

nIn a dark room on the top floor of the palace, Prince Bryon was looking out the full glass window, he saw when Blake looked up in his direction.

n

"The speed he is assimilating the All-fathers inheritance is shocking, he even sensed my gaze.

" he was astonished by the scene that played before him.

n

"I will be heading to the capital tomorrow, watch over them, especially him.

" Prince Bryon turned his head slightly and spoke to a red-haired man behind him.

n

"Yes Prince Bryon.

" the figure bowed and left the room.

nBryon's gaze returned to the carriage that was making its way out of the palace.

n...…

nAfter thirty minutes of driving, they had already made their way out of the center region and into the mid-region.

nSecretary Joan acted as a guide and showed them key places like; the city lords manor, house of congress.

n

"What is the difference between the city lord and the chief?

" Blake asked because it was confusing.

nSecretary Joan smiled

"The city lord is in charge of most of the administrative tasks in the city, while the Chief is in charge of all military operations and missions.

nThe position of war chief of the cities in the Synder empire is headed by the members of the royal guard counsel.

"

n

"Is Prince Bryon a member of the royal guard council?

" Blake asked.

n

"Yes, out of the five councilors, he is the youngest and is in charge of the east region of the empire.

" She said with a proud smile.

nAs they headed west to the magic school, they saw a five-story building that had a shield and sword crest on the building.

nJoan pointed at the building

"That's the Adventurers association, they are one of the top organizations in the world. You can give out various commissions for adventurers to complete and if you become an adventurer you can take commissions that correspond to your strength.

"

nWith his eye still on the building, he asked the system. What are the names of the top organizations?...

n They are:

nCrusaders.

nAdventurers association.

nThe league of assassins.

nCrusader. What a catchy name… he smiled and immediately stopped when he noticed the others were looking at him.

nThis is awkward… he resisted the urge to smack his forehead as he lampooned.

nAfter Blake's awkward moment, the carriage remained silent until they reached their destination.

nThe carriage arrived in front of a large bronze double door gate and written on the gates in large letters was Calton Magic School.
