Sheila taught Noir to use his Flow of Ether every time even at his sleep. With just a week, Noir had extreme difficulties to use Flow of Ether while asleep. Little Noir only manage to use the Flow of Ether all the time for only about 4 hours before going unconscious. But Sheila always give Noir little words of encouragement so Noir keep being determine to learn and master new things.
After the journey of one week from Javan to Kortopia, in the afternoon when the sun shine the brightest, the both of them arrive at 'Kortopia - The Town of Freedom'
Kortopia is a very large town, some people even called it a kingdom. Kortopia is very different than Javan, Kortopia has a huge wall surrounding the town. Many guards are guarding the outside of it, patrolling from the wall nor from the outside.
As the carriage Noir is in getting closer and closer to the wall, they are greeted by 6 knights guarding the outside.
4 Knights for keeping a watch, and 2 other knights that do the checkup for every person entering and leaving Kortopia. Although there is a lot more knights with crossbow seem to keep watch on top of the wall. As they reach to the gate, the 2 knights ask for a name and ask for a checkup on everything.
"Alright, make sure to do it quick."
Sheila said calmly after she open the door of the carriage and step outside. Every knight around the carriage instantly bow down on one knee and screamed out.
"WELCOME BACK! MISS SHEILA, THE ELITE KNIGHT ASLATAN" All the knights shouted as they goes into a formal knightly stance.
Little Noir is confused and shock on what he sees right in front of him, truly a surprise that Noir never expected could even happen in the first place. Noir looks around and see that everyone stand up tightly after shouting loudly greeting Sheila.
"There is no need for a checkup for Miss Sheila!" One of the knight shouted loudly in front of Sheila. As Sheila sigh off and put her hand to her face from embarrassment.
"What are you talking about? Of course I need a checkup, even if i am an elite knight, that doesn't mean i can just go off without a proper checkup!" Sheila said scolding the knight that is in front of her.
"B-but Mis-" Before the knight could even said anything else, he was halted by Sheila.
"Bla bla bla, stop with the formality and just get on with the checkup already! It's an order!"
"YES MAM!" All the knights shouted as they look like they are scared to death by Sheila.
Noir proceed to leave the carriage after the situation calm down. Noir quickly hide behind Sheila as all the knights start to get close to the carriage.
"Ah, who is that kid Mam?"
"Oh, he is my old friend kid. Don't mind him, he is very shy." Sheila replied to the knight.
As Sheila once again give a cold stare to the knight. Without a single word all the knight understood and proceed to do the checkup faster than they usually do.
After all the checkup, the knights allowed both Sheila and Noir inside the large town, Kortopia. The inside Kortopia is very loud and bustling, adults on the sidewalk talking, children laughing and running around as they play tag, knights patrolling around the places. Although everything seem like in chaos, everyone was laughing, talking happily. Doing many many things together, much different from Javan.
"This is the 'Town of Freedom - Kortopia' where there is little to no law in this place. If you want to survive here, you have to be a social butterfly. As the source of Kortopia is the community itself, the people that live here are the main point of Kortopia."
"It's beautiful isn't it... This city" Sheila said as she looks on the window watching the beauty of Kortopia.
"Yes... It is."
As Noir looks out the window, he could see the beauty of Kortopia in a close sight. The carriage goes around to places in Kortopia, seeing so many tall building left and right. The carriage even went to the central market, where there is a lot more people. Talking, buying, selling, bargaining, gossiping. All that one could think off from a market, Kortopia takes it to a new height as Kortopia is also called 'The Largest Market'. With how the geography of Kortopia, it is inevitable that this town will become a town that is likely to be visited by many wandering merchant.
Noir is in awe on how cool the town Kortopia truly is. A place of beauty that one can't describe unless they have experience it themself. Something that doesn't exist in Javan, something truly new. A mix of emotion that brings out something truly new to the little Noir. A joy of discovering, is truly impeccable.
After strolling around to places, the carriage finally stop. On their side is a huge building with a huge golden bird statue on top of it.
"Here we are kid, the place where I want you to meet someone" Sheila said calmly as she open the door of the carriage.
In front of them is a woman in a purple robe while holding a book, she greet us very politely and noble-like.
"It is nice to finally meet you Ms. Sheila Rakshana and Mr. Noir Bolevante. I hope the journey isn't too much of a hassle." The woman said as she bow down a bit.
The woman in front of Sheila and Noir bow down to them. As she proceed to stand up again the woman in front of them is very beautiful and has an elegant and and unique appearance.
The woman has a silver eyes like the shining silver ingot, a long straight white hair like a cloud, she got a round and sharp face complemented by her round glasses. She got a lean and very curvy build that make most or even all men to fall for her easily. Although anyone that get close to her could feel she got a very ominous cold aura.
"I am glad you all arrive safely, Mr. Solean Pon Phenexia is waiting inside" Said by the beautiful lady calmly as she welcome Noir and Sheila warmly even with her cold aura.

As she reach out for a handshake. Nora welcome the handshake and fix her glasses, as she proceed to introduce herself
"Truly knowledgeable of you Ms. Sheila Rakshana. Indeed i am Phoenix Guild secretary, the name is Nora Noxeria. It is nice to be your acquaintance."
Something spark inside the brain of little Noir. The name Noxeria is familiar to the ear of Noir. It takes a view minutes but then it click inside Noir memories. Noir came up to Sheila and whisper something.
"Ms. Sheila, isn't Noxeria the family name of one of the people that can use Tier 5 Magic?" Noir said as he whisper to Sheila, and hide behind her legs.
"Yes indeed, it is the Noxeria family, but it is not the main Noxeria family..." Sheila said as she elaborate more on the Noxeria family, Nora is smile for a moment as she quickly cover her face with her book...
