Bab 16: Black skeleton academy
Saying that Eric gets up and starts walking toward the Black skeleton academy tent leaving Jin alone.
Listening to Eric Jin become confused. Jin thinks to himself.
'How the hell does he knows that? The confidence he is showing there must be something he knows. Well, I do not have any information about the academies. Will joining Black Academy be the right choice?'
Jin gets lost in his thought.
Eric comes in front of the Black skeleton tent. He looks at the symbol on the tent. This symbol is circular overall like all other academic symbols. The background color of the symbol is grey and a black skull with its mouth open is drawn in the middle of the symbol. The overall symbol looks much darker and creepy. Making his mind Eric enters the Black Skeleton Academy tent.
Inside the tent, there are many children already present. Although it is less crowded than the top white academy tents. They're still more than 200 people waiting for their turn to get in admission. They have formed a line in front of the warrior who is in the tent. He also joins the line waiting for his turn. At the counter, a middle age warrior gave the contract to sign everyone who wants to join.
Eric also takes the contract he sees it is written in rune language. This is a standard Contract that every academy offer to all their new students. There is no point to read it as he does not understand most of the things written on it but he knows that no academy can change the contract from the standard one so just after a look he signs it. After signing it he chooses to wait with the other who signs the contract. There are more than 500+ who have already joined the Academy.
After 10 min Jin also enters the tent and seeing him Eric smirk. Jin comes to him after signing his contract. He speaks to Jin.
"Someone seems to be hell-bent to follow me."
"Who is following you this is my own choice, you bastard."
He smirks and then chooses to ignore Jin. At midnight procedure of choosing the academies ends. All the student has selected their academy.
Near the Black skeleton academy tent, almost 1000 children waiting up for the warrior to speak. After finishing his paperwork warrior comes in the middle of the students.
"Now I congratulate all of you that you are a Warrior of Black skeleton academy from today onward."
Everyone starts cheering and clapping. After a few mins, warriors raise him and everyone becomes silent again.
"Shortly you will be teleported into the academy and each one of you get your room to stay in. Tomorrow you will know more about how our academy works and other things."
Saying that warrior walks back toward the tent.
Eric quietly asks Jin.
"So what happens to your friend-lover?".
"Friend-lover??".
Tilting his head Jin looked toward Eric. Eric replies with a sly smile.
" Juicy ass."
"Oh Miya, I see her entering White Rose Academy with her suckers."
"Well too bad."
Regrettably, Eric shakes his head. Seeing him as that Jin teased.
" Oh someone seems to fall in love ❤️"
"phaaaa, fall in love puhaha."
Laughing out loud Eric smirked at Jin and speak.
"That's the problem when you are a virgin. In the academy, I will show you the life of a real man."
"Life of real man, What shit you are talking about Now."
"No, I am not talking about the shit. I will show you. You just need to follow me for some time. I will show you more interesting things other than boring love. I will show you the life of Lust."
Eric speaks the last sentence loudly. Everyone near them starts looking at him weirdly. Some even make distance from him but he ignores them. He starts telling about his imagination to Jin.
Just like everyone starts waiting for the warrior to come out of the tent.
The warrior walks out of the tent caring a remote-like thing in his hand. After pressing a large button on it he waits in front of the tent. Suddenly tent folded into a box and a large magic circle become visible where the tent was.
Similar things happen with other academies' tents. Warrior shouted to everyone present.
"Everybody comes inside the circle now."
This circle is very big compared to the circle present in the city. When everyone is in the circle, the light starts coming from the circle, and everyone fainted except for the warrior. Eric cursed before he faint. He really hates traveling using a teleportation circle.
...
Inside the huge hall, children start coming back to consciousness. Surrounding them were a few warriors in black dresses. Who was staring at them from time to time?
Eric is one of the few who wake up earliest. He sees that they are in a huge hall. Hall is dimly lit. He can hardly see the ceiling of the hall as it is so large and dark there. He finds that many warriors in black dresses are examining him and other children at the side. He feels pressure from their gaze.
Slowly more children start walking up. There is no commotion everyone is stiff from the pressure of the warriors' gaze. After everyone wakes up. A loud voice comes from the entrance of the hall.
"Welcome to Black Skeleton academy. For today you have to form a smaller group and follow a Warrior which will take you to your dorm. Tomorrow, I want everyone in the training hall at 5 am. "
The voice stops and the warrior starts walking away from the group in different directions. It takes some time for children to understand the situation and they fastly start following the warrior in smaller groups.
Eric and Jin join a small group and start following a female warrior.
Hall is too big to even see the ceiling in the night darkness. It took them some time before they reach the one of many large gates of the hall. Outside the hall it is completely dark as it's midnight, Eric tries to see the building and other structures present in the academy but there is too much darkness he is not able to see much.
He sees that few buildings have many lights on. Their group moves toward one of these buildings. He follows the warrior to the sixth building where few lights are on.
After reaching in front of the building gate, a sweet voice attracted their attention.
"Go to the counter and you will get your room keys". Saying that warriors vanish from their site.
Up close he easily sees the whole building. The building has 4 floors. On each floor, there are a few rooms that have their lights on. Following the Warrior's advice, they walk into the building.
Inside the building, there is a long corridor and rooms are present left and right of the corridor.
At the end of the corridor, there is a larger wooded desk with a few children like them sitting on the other side behind the desk. On the left-hand side behind the counter is a stair leading toward the upper floor. Whereas the right side has space with few couches present there.
People at the counter table are busy shorting some papers. There are normal people with no energy coming out from them. Leading them is a warrior who is only overseeing without interfering. Reaching the counter someone from the group asks a girl on the counter.
"Miss the warrior said that you will assign us the room."
She turned toward them and smiling spoke.
"Well, no need to be formal with me. I am Eva from last year's batch."
A boy from the side comes to them and introduces himself.
"Hye, I am Mike you guys must be new students. Here are your room keys you can select randomly. Every room has the same facilities. you can select randomly according to your preference."
Most of them take the key and walk toward their room. Eric and Jin also took keys number 2006 and 2007 and walked toward the stairs. A few of them stay downstairs and talk with Eva and Mike.
Eric and Jin's room is present on the first floor. 1st floor has the same long corridor with both sides having rooms door with a number on them.
Upon reaching 2006 Eric snatches the Key from Jin and Walks into the room.
Jin shouts from behind "Good night."
Nodding his head Eric close the Door. He starts examining the room.
The room is very simple with one bed and a sofa. On the right side of the room, there is a small kitchen. On left, there is the door to the washroom. The bed is placed at the back edge of the room. Just entering the side of the door is an empty shelf.
Overall, the room has all the necessities that one required. Without delay, Eric lay on the bed and called status.
