Leylin was looking at the ocean, but his eyes changed from Determination to Greed and longing. ‘This ocean is full of strong creatures , if only I could kill them I could become so much stronger ‘
On the Magus world there is no lack of Magical Creatures, with his capabilities to Steal strength from them, Leylin can become stronger as much as he kills. ‘ Not just Magical creatures, Maybe I can also become stronger by killing other Humans too ‘
*Sigh*
On the horizon, 3 massive white ships were slowly floating towards them.
As the ship approached, a massive shadow covered the whole camp, and it seemed as though darkness had descended upon the earth.
“Oh! Look!” “My god!” “How beautiful!”
The other people in the camp had also discovered the abnormalities, and many raised their heads, exclaiming in awe and shock.
The 3 dirigibles constantly got closer and slowly lowered themselves onto the ground outside the camp, under the various cheers of the masses.
The pure white dirigibles landed on the ground and let out thunderous growling noises.
The doors of the dirigibles then opened, and a few white-robed Magi walked out from them. There were also some movements within the camp, a few old geezers also walked out and exchanged words with them.
“Alright! Everyone bring all of your belongings and follow me. Don’t wander off on your own!”
Leylin entered the Dirigible going for Abyssal Bone Forest Academy. Then journey started, Leylin mostly only minded his business , keeping a distance from everyone, As journey progressed Jayden and Kailweir had their confrontation. The ship was also attacked by the Magical creatures, which was later killed by Magus. Leylin had to Reluctantly maintain his distance because of the immense danger the fight can have on him.
…Six Months Later…..
“We have arrived at the Abyssal Bone Moor! Attention to all acolytes of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy! Please bring your belongings and leave the dirigible in an orderly fashion!” A voice rang through the cabins.
“We’ve finally arrived?” Leylin packed his belongings and quickly left the tiny space he had been holed up in during the past month.
Finally Leylin has reached his destination, where he will take his first step to Magical World. Leylin followed Dorotto with all the students .A Raven attacked them, which later became Leylin nutrition, courtesy of Dorotto.
‘After I become a Acolyte, I must claim these Creatures life and get strong before Academy Wars began’
After arriving in front of a huge Graveyard.
“Welcome to your home of shadow and death – Abyssal Bone Forest!” Dorotte snickered.
“Our Abyssal Bone Forest Academy was constructed in the Gregorian Year 324, and it has been almost one thousand years since then… As for our academy founder, it is Merlin Falek Driwilc…”
As Dorotto walked them through the corridor, they finally appear in the area to choose mentors. One by One All students were sorted out, Leylin of course choose to pay in order to divulge Suspicion and then picked Mentor Kroft, Department of Potioneering, specialises in medicine, herbalism, and neutralisation of energy.
Later, Leylin followed the shadow slave and passed through several corridors, two large halls, and a garden. It then stopped in front of an area designed for experiment labs.
The shadow slave turned translucent, and immediately passed through the door, leaving Leylin outside.
After a moment, there came a middle-aged man’s voice.
“Leylin, huh? Enter!”
“Yes!” Leylin pushed opened the doors of the experimental lab.
In front of the laboratory table, there stood a white-haired, middle-aged man who wore white robes. His collar was embroidered with golden patterns, and his eyes emitted a golden light, like two golden gems.
“I’m Kroft, and I’ve heard the details from the shadow slave. So then, Leylin, are you willing to become my apprentice?” The middle-aged man put down the test tube in his hands and said solemnly
“I am willing!” Leylin hurriedly answered.
“That’s good! Since these are the arrangements made by the school, I’ll accept you as my disciple!” The middle-aged man stroked his beard.
“Although the environment here is quite ordinary, it’s enough to let you undergo the initiation!” Kroft swept his eyes over the examination room. “At least it’s very quiet here and we won’t be disturbed!”
As leylin already knew what he meant he didn’t ask any questions, Kroft didn’t bother explaining much but told him importance of Initiation.
Kroft said, “Alright! Now let us begin the rites! Don’t be afraid, it’s very simple!”
“Right now, give your hand to me!” Leylin stretched his hand out and a larger palm firmly clasped it.
“Abiding by the rites of ancient times, I will now guide you, Leylin Farlier, onto the path of a Magus!”
“Recite after me!”
“I swear! I will forever be in pursuit of the truth!” Kroft used an unfamiliar language, but Leylin understood it completely, and his mouth could not help but produce the same sounds.
“I swear! I will forever be in pursuit of the truth!” As it was a voice of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old youth, there was still a little immaturity in the voice.
“Without the permission of my mentor, I swear that I will not reveal any of the information my mentor passes on to me…”
Kroft continued to recite and Leylin followed suit, the two voices very soon eerily turned into one.
In the hearts of the formation, the flame suddenly grew brighter and blazed strongly….
“Congratulations on formally becoming an acolyte!”
After the rites, Kroft congratulated Leylin.
Leylin looked down at both of his hands. After the mysterious rites, it seemed like he saw the world in a different light, yet at the same time, he couldn’t pinpoint the difference.
[An anomaly has been discovered in the brainwaves of the Host!] The A.I. Chip’s voice sounded.
“The meditation technique in the crystal ball has already been given to you, right? Take a look at it when you go back, you can already absorb the information in it now!”
“Tomorrow, come here at six in the morning!”
“You can leave now, but remember! Don’t wander around!” Kroft warned.
“I’ll do as you bid! Mentor!” Leylin bowed, and then walked out of the experimental lab.
Leylin went to his room, settle down there and after filling his stomach , Leylin closed his door and then he stroked the crystal ball, his eyes gradually turned hazy, and his nostrils flared.
[A data interface has been discovered, start transmitting or not?] The A.I. Chip’s voice sounded.
“Begin!” At Leylin’s command, an acute pain entered his brain, as if someone filled it with lead.
“This is… ” Leylin grabbed his head, and discovered that many images and words appeared in his brain along with the pain, and the first line was: “Elementary Meditation Technique!”
This information appeared out of nowhere and was firmly imprinted in Leylin’s mind.
After some time, Leylin finally recovered from the pain, but he was still feeling groggy.
“A.I. Chip, defragment the data for the elementary meditation Technique ”
After defragmentation, He got some common information, nothing he didn’t knew. He then tasked A. I. Chip to analyze First mind Rune. After waiting for an hour.
…
[The first mind rune has been analysed, start transmitting or not?] The A.I. Chip prompted.
“Has it finally been analysed? Begin transmission!”
