My Triling System-Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Chapter Nine: Access Cards

It didn’t take long that Mrs Norby had returned to her office. In her hands were four white plastic cards that are rectangular in shape and a bit thick. The four cards were handed to Kevin and the four students by Mrs Norby, but the elves were clueless on what it does.

“That in your hand is your access card. It will grant you access to some certain areas in this school. It will serve as the device that will allow you to receive food, drinks and any other things you would need.” Mrs Norby explained.

“But note this, you must take the card along with you no matter where you’re going. Either outside or inside the academy. And you must not lose it or you’ll have to pay for it.”

“How much is it if we have to pay for it?” Reed asked and the old woman just gave him a devilish smirk.

“Four Silver gemstones, no more no less.” Mrs Norby smiled within herself. She went towards her chair as she sat down with her legs crossed.

“Four silver gemstones?!” Dan exclaimed and the old woman just gave him a stare as if to quite him down.

“That’s worth about thirty two emerald gemstones.” Dan replied and the other elves stiffened at the price.

.....

Mrs Norby smiled as if her plan had just came to a success.

“Well, before I forget. You guys are now students of the mage academy. Welcome to the mage academy once again. Your journey as a pure mage, spell wizard and mage soldier begins today. Each students will spent the amount of years he wishes to stay as long as he’s able to get to the required level. Meaning, you will be in this academy till you reach the level of a mage soldier.”

There are three levels that each students must reach. From an ordinary student to a mage soldier and to a pure mage or spell wizard then finally to a mage master or wizard master. That’s the hierarchy that was present in the mage academy. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

“You can go on now, a teacher is outside that will give you a tour around the school. Once again, welcome to the academy.” Mrs Norby said but her eyes were fixed on Kevin.

After exiting Mrs Norby’s office into the mage academy, what they saw was shocking to them.

Kevin and the three other students began to lift their heads to look around them. There were currently a total of six hundred students standing on a plain open field, in a strange place that none of them seemed to recognise. The puzzlement on their faces spoke volumes. Kevin couldn’t believe that there were a lot of students who were willing to attend this academy.

“Alright, the last sets are here.” Kevin heard one of the teachers said.

“So all the time we were talking with that crazy woman, there are students here who are waiting for us to arrive?” Kevin asked in disbelief.

“Yeah, don’t you know.. A lot of them has been here since yesterday morning. Today is the admission day, so we were the ones who came late.”

“But surprisingly, this place is more beautiful than the city.” Dan said and the students looked around the school.

The green plain was not the only thing the students saw. There were three, huge buildings directly in front of them. The buildings were Elf images sculpted entirely out of glass. Each one stood at least fifty feet tall, but that was not the only thing that the field overlooked. They were standing on an elevated platform with a city in front of them, an hidden city. Everyone was already dressed up in a military uniform and there were technological marvels appealing to them all.

These devices were too advanced for their time. There were mechs, robots, cyborgs that were moving around freely. Some were even hovering above the ground. There were building machines, enormous things rising high into the sky with their crane. There was no one inside the machine, yet it laid down panel after panel of glass on a building that was still in construction.

While the students were standing, amazed by what they were seeing, a teacher had suddenly started explaining. “As you all know, the beasts we all think are once powerless have managed to make a leap in their evolution and are far stronger than we think.”

The teacher was a male, whose long wavy hair were coloured green. Not only that, but his eyebrows were also green in colour. The students noticed that someone was talking and they had suddenly paid attention to him.

“My name is Chris and I am your homeroom teacher. I will be explaining things to you as we have the tour around the Academy.”

Kevin was also listening attentively to the teacher. He didn’t know anything about this world before and he can’t miss this opportunity.

After the students had quiet down, teacher Chris continued his speech.

“After the first war between the humans and the evolved beasts, the humans had managed to make leaps in all sorts of technological fields. This was because they had managed to salvage a lot of equipment from the evolved beasts once the war was over. The human military had decided to keep most of it for themselves. Some of the things they had found would just be too dangerous for the public to use. At least that is what they claimed. But some of our kinds who are among the military have claimed to know where every of this equipments are stored but we need twelve strong, wise and skillful students who will be taken to the human world. These twelve students will have the opportunity of learning what humans can do, the powers they could use, and their ways. After which he’s able to grow more stronger, and if he’s successful, he might become one of the Human’s leader. But firstly, we need twelve best students who will represent us in the human world.”

The students had started murmuring among each other and after the noise died down, Chris continued with his speech.

“Different types of tests will be given to you and if you’re lucky to pass the first level of the test, you will be selected and taken to the next level.”ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢
