Chapter 39: The Choice of Fate
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Sitting on Elisa's broom, Reyker flew all the way up. Just as they were about to rush out of the boundary that differentiated between inside and outside the academy, he suddenly heard a notification.
[Please note that you are about to leave the quest area. If you leave the quest area, you will be automatically considered to have failed the quest and you will never receive the same quest again.]
[Player, please cherish this opportunity!]
The bright red words flashed across Reyker's retina.
"Stop, stop, stop," Reyker hurriedly shouted.
"What's wrong? Didn't you want to go out and take a look?"
"Not anymore, put me down, please."
"Sure, but our agreement is already in effect, so don't go back on it," Elisa revealed the magic scroll that was shining with purple light in her hand.
"What is this?"
"Nothing, it's just a small toy," Elisa stuffed the scroll back into her fanny pack like it was a treasure and ran away.
A special quest, huh?
With this, Reyker had a reason to appease his doubts.
Then he returned to the academy and went about the process of registering for college.
When he reached the professor's office, Reyker made his request, "I want to join the Light Magic College."
"I'm afraid you can't," the professor said.
"Why?"
"Just now, the last quota for the Light Magic College has been distributed. If you had come earlier, you would've been able to get it."
"What about the other colleges?"
Professor Cleveland touched his forehead and said, "The quotas of the other colleges have also been distributed. Now only the Black Magic College is left."
Hearing this, Reyker was stunned. Then, he could not help but recall what Simon said yesterday.
"Is there no other way?"
"No, you can only apply for the Black Magic College now. Why don't I fill it up for you now?"
Hearing this, Reyker's face turned a little dark. This feeling of his future being predicted by others was really disgusting.
After taking care of the admission procedures, Reyker and Rosa went to the Black Magic College.
When they arrived at the gates of the college, Reyker suddenly stopped in his tracks and stood stunned.
"Master! Master!" Worried to see that Reyker had fallen into a daze again, Rosa quickly called out.
The scar he saw on his sister's body was the symbol of the Black Magic College!
Reyker stood at the entrance of the college, not daring to enter for a moment.
"Ha, little junior," Simon's voice came from behind Reyker, then he took the certificate in Reyker's hand.
"Haha, you see, fate has indeed brought you to us. Come, let me show you the uniqueness of the Black Magic College."
"What about the alternate between game and reality? Was it by chance or was there a huge conspiracy hidden?" Reyker thought, He felt as if he was touching the secret edges of the world.
In his confusion, Reyker was pushed into the gates of the Black Magic College.
On the way, Reyker could see some people coming in and out of each class.
"You don't have to care about them. These are transient students who have paid to come study at our academy. They are the children of nobles. Just think of them as the money bags of the academy."
"Where do they usually live?"
"Outside the academy, of course."
"But when I came here, I didn't see any buildings around the school."
"That's the power of magic. All the buildings are hidden. In this world, many things are hidden."
Simon brought Reyker to the door of a classroom and said, "This is your classroom."
Then, he put on a wretched smile and said, "Remember, the moon will be full in a few days. You know what I mean."
Before Reyker could understand what Simon meant, he turned into a cloud of black fog and disappeared.
When he stepped into the classroom, he immediately felt a murderous intent.
He looked in the direction of the source of the murderous intent and saw that it came from the white-haired female demon hunter, the orphan of a demon hunter family.
"Aren't you a demon hunter? Why do you want to learn black magic?" Reyker asked.
"Only by understanding the opponent's moves can we deal with them better," The woman said through gritted teeth.
Then, Reyker saw his old acquaintance, Cesar, the gypsy wizard.
When enemies met, their eyes would be red with emotion. Cesar did not hide the hatred in his eyes.
Reyker hadn't tried to join their gang, so he did not know that because of his sarcastic words, Cesar now had a nickname "BO" among the freshmen.
Cesar did not dare to vent his anger on those who said that he had body odor, so he could only vent all his resentment on Reyker.
Not long after Reyker sat down, the sound of footsteps could be heard in the corridor.
Then, the tightly shut classroom door was kicked open with a bang.
A woman wearing a mage robe walked in with a magic book in her hands.
"My name is Teresa, and I am your class teacher. I am also the teacher who teaches you black magic. From today onwards, all of you must listen to me and attend class properly. Finally, you must beat up the people from the Light Magic College at the year-end competition. Do you understand?"
"What will happen if we can't beat the people from the Light Magic College?" A student suddenly asked.
"Good question, this is what will happen," The female teacher took out her magic staff and pointed it at the boy who asked the question.
With a bang, a puff of smoke rose and he turned into a toad that landed on his seat.
He let out croaks.
"If any of you lose the match against the Light Magic College, you will end up like him."
Everyone's expression changed when they saw this scene.
"Alright, open the first page, we're starting class!"
With that, Reyker sat in the classroom like any other student and listened to class.
He was dazed throughout the whole process.
At first, he thought that this was just a quest scenario. After all, shouldn't the skills in games be instantly learned and lit up?
Why the hell did he have to stay put in front of the teacher and listen to class?
However, he didn't dare to attempt fighting against the teacher either.
As such, he simply sat on the chair like a good student and listened to the entire magic class.
"Wha--?" After the class bell rang, this was the only thought in his mind.
Am I f*cking here to play the game or to learn?
But after opening his information column, Reyker discovered some changes.
Originally, in the classes column, it showed that he did not have a class, but now he was a mage apprentice.
One had to know that the last time he checked, which was before he went to the classroom, the class column was still empty.
Could it be that he was really learning magic?!
