Chapter 11
"So, this is the academy of Atlantis" I looked at the huge mansion in front of me. It was bigger than the Betton mansion and had weird runes on the walls and the floor.
"In front of me I saw others who wanted to join the school some came from the same ship as mine, one of the boys had blue hair I remember him because he was talking to my sibling and Sarah. He was wearing luxurious clothing and had an expensive looking storage artifact in his hand. He is probably a son of a high-ranking wizard.
"Okey everyone stand in line, don't make me say it again" a young man with brown hair looking no older than 25 shouted. He looked young and handsome and the girls around me were whispering.
After hearing his words everyone stood in a single line. "Welcome to the academy of Atlantis my name is Erick and I am a rank1 wizard and a teacher at the academy now we are going to do a test here to see your aptitude and elements. Everyone come here on the stage one by one and I will activate the bracelet for you. Those who are having second thoughts or want to join another academy can leave now. I will tell you about the bracelet after everyone activates it. Remember after the bracelet activates you will be part of our academy, so no take backs."
So, let's begin.
The boy in the front came up and showed his bracelet, Erick put the bracelet on a stone and it started shining. Now tell me your name Erick asked. James the boy replied.
James, you have a D grade aptitude and here is your bracelet. Next; a girl walked over, tell me your name...."
"Like that Erick asked the name of the students and said their aptitude aloud." Most of the students here had D or C rank aptitude and three B ranks. "Next" Erick shouted and everyone was staring the boy on the stage it was the boy with blue hair, he slowly went near Erick, "your name?"
"Damon Arlos" hearing his name Erick looked at him. "Oh, you must be from the Arlos family your family had informed of your arrival ". The wizard's personality took a 180 degree turn. "A grade aptitude".
Hearing Ericks words everyone gasped not only was he from a rich family he had an A grade aptitude. "Next".
After a couple of D and C ranks another A rank appeared this time it was a girl named Lucy, looking at her one could say that she had no background she wore simple cloths worn by commoners even Damon looked at her with a shocked expression.
After three more students next came me. " Your name?" Noah, I replied "B grade aptitude.
I used a fake name because I did not want to leave any clues for the Betton family to catch find me. I should have given Kylie and the others a fake name damn rookie mistake.
After everyone was checked there where 8 B ranks including me, 2 A ranks and more than 30 C and D ranks.
"Now that the test is finished you all have to take an oath, saying that you shall under no circumstances shall transfer or teach any techniques, spells or methods to any outsiders without the academy's approval. Now raise your hand to your heart and say the words written on the wall" Erick said as he pointed at one of the walls in the academy.
"Under the eye of truth, I shall not transfer or share any techniques taught to me by the academy to outsiders." when we said that an eyeball came from the walls into our bodies. Looking at the small eyeballs it was like the eye is alive, what is that, a spell, a ritual. I thought to myself.
"Now if anyone breaks this oath, they can live the rest of their lives in pain and anguish." Everyone was spooked at Ericks words.
"Now I will explain about the bracelet, I want every one of you to touch the snake symbol on the bracelet and concentrate. The snake symbol means that you are now members of our academy." Erick instructed.
I too touched the snake symbol and concentrated, the it started glowing and a blue screen was shown in front of me.
Academy OF ATLANTIS
Noah
Rank 0 wizard apprentice
B grade aptitude
Elemental affinity: WATER, DARK,WIND
Mentality: 4
Merit points: 200
"Now no one can see your information, the screen will show your aptitude, element affinity, mentality and merit points."
"Now the mentality represents how much magic energy or mana a person can hold within himself, when you reach 10 you will be a rank 1 wizard apprentice, when you reach 50 you will be a rank 5 apprentice. Merit points are the school's currency you can buy techniques, spells, ingredients with merit points. The school provides 10 merit points weekly and 200 as starting points to all students, you can earn more by doing odd jobs or missions but be warned missions are dangerous and the school will not be held accountable in case you die outside. Merit points are needed for you to take special classes, although the school provides free classes once in a week, I suggest you spend your points wisely, you can exchange your magic stones for merit points however the exchange rates are according to demand and supply and you cannot exchange merit points for magic stones. The bracelet shows you the changes in your mentality. It also transfers your location to the academy. If you have more doubts ask your seniors. Now follow me "everyone was shocked as Erick started walking as soon as he finished his speech.
Soon everyone started following him he led us inside the huge mansion to a huge stone device bigger than the one at Harbon Port, Erick pushed the first kid into the stone and woosh he disappeared. "Come on move fast, I have things to do" Erick grumbled.
Soon all of us stepped into the stone and woosh. Disappeared from sight.
