When Ery and the others stepped their feet inside the room, the atmosphere instantly turned a little bit colder. Even more so, the mont Ery's group locked eyes with those who had bad experiences and not-so-good intentions towards them.
This particular, distinct hostile aura felt much deeper and stronger from one person: the maniac Lodos. Ery, who realized the aura was completely directed towards him, stared at the man calmly, utterly unfazed by it.
However, it looked like his Thracian friend did not think the sa as him, as he complained in a loud voice, "What is his problem?!!"
Gerri, who knew exactly what the problem was, could not hold it anymore and chuckled, "Hahaha! Just imagine! Imagine! Being the number one on the class and then almost being thrown out to regular class because of our Ery here. If you are the one, will you not be angry?" Gerri said, asking the last part to Thrax.
However, Ery cut him off before Thrax could respond to Gerri's question, "Wait a minute, that's not accurate."
"You also helped, Gerri. So why am I the only one to bear the brunt here?"
Hearing that, Gerri laughed and pointed his finger at the black-faced Lodos, "That's right! Don't worry, Ery. You are not alone! Didn't you notice the guy gave the sa weird look he gave you?"
Ery only chuckled lightly in response.
Thrax who finally rembers who Lodos was said,"Ahhh! I rember who he is! But... isn't that guy not supposed to be in this class?! He lost in the ga!" Thrax comnted, which caused Lodos' face turned even more ugly when he heard that.
"Is he receiving the sa privilege as us?" Thrax continued, while turning his head to Ery for confirmation. The problem was, his voice was too big. As a result, several gazes landed on Thrax, curious about what he ant.
Gerri, who was also curious, led the pack as he asked the question, "Privilege? What privilege?"
Realizing the bull would spill the beans, Julian quickly intervened, "Shhhh… Yes, very good, Thracian. Why don't you just tell everyone? Just tell the world about our special privilege and let's see how friendly? they are gonna be with us!" Julian said, while pulling the bull and whispering the last part.
Julian and Chumo both graced Thrax with a death stare, because he blabbered about the privilege he received. After all, the two of them also received the sa privilege from the headmaster.
Gerri and so of the elite acolytes approached and introduced themselves to Ery and the others. They would be classmates from now on and forging friendly relationships would always be better than hostile ones.
Evidently, the acolytes' main interest were Ery and Klea, as one could see the two of them getting sward by the others' introductions. All this happened due to the fact that the two managed to reach the final stage of the Magus Gas.
"Hello, beautiful. You can call Gerri and I am at your service." Gerri shalessly said, while grabbing Klea's hand and kissed the back of it.
Unexpectedly, Ery noticed it was Anas who was bothered by Gerri's extrely bold act. After thinking it for a mont, Ery realized the man had been eyeing Klea since the first day of academy, after all.
Looking away from Gerri's unscrupulous act, Ery scanned the entire class and realized there were only 50 acolytes here. It ant an elite class only had half the number acolytes of a regular class.
This ti, it looked like it would be easier to get along with the class as Ery and his friends already had a reputation of their own. Their current situation could truly not be compared to the first ti they entered the Magus Academy. They were a nobody back then.
Of course, there were still people who eyed them with hostility. In response, Ery could only shrug his shoulders and ignore those people, as one could not really get along with everyone. It was simply an impossible matter, no matter how good and perfect a person was. Ery was sure there would always be people who did not like him and find his existence as an eyesore.
Afterwards, a few figures walked into the room. All of them exuded the sa aura as Magus Minerva, which ant they were probably magus-level instructors. However, Ery was attracted to one of them in particular, the person who stood at the front, a dark-skinned burly man with many scars visible on his face that gave off an even greater aura than the rest.
When the group arrived, everyone in the room imdiately turned quiet and Magus Minerva began to introduce them.
"Everyone, this is Grand Magus Aimon, he is this Class head instructor." Magus Minerva said, pointing at the burly man.
Grand Magus Aimon nodded his head, "Welco to the Elite Class 7. First of all, congratulations for being chosen to enter an elite class. You all will be instructed by and these magus beside for the next 2 months."
Minerva gave Aimon a piece of parchnt and the grand magus looked at it for a while before saying, "50 acolytes, with 15 of them being upgraded from regular... This is a new record."
Grand Magus Aimon then tore his gaze away from the parchnt and said, "Before we began, I have to say sothing and I will only say this one ti."
Everyone unconsciously straightened their backs as well as perked their ears when they heard the esteed magus wanted to say sothing.
Sweeping his sharp gaze through the room, he said, "I don't care where you co from nor who you were before. When you are in my class, I only care what you will beco tomorrow. I want to see progress. Do you all understand?"
"Yes! We understand!" everyone said together, except Ery and the other regular acolytes who only said yes. From the looks of others, Ery guessed they probably already knew about this grand magus before.
Fortunately, the grand magus did not seem to mind their lack of answer.
"Now for those who are new here, I will introduce your instructors."
"Magus Nayla will be your Spirit Reading and Control Instructor."
"Magus Rommy will be your Combat Instructor."
"Magus Clio will be your Universe Lore Instructor."
"Magus Minerva will be your Ethic and Principles Instructor."
Even though Ery and his friends were quite excited to have 5 magus as their instructors, they could not help but be dumbfounded hearing Magus Minerva would be the one who taught the ethics.
"Over the next 60 days, the schedule will be divided into ten days of rotation, during which you will all first go through the compulsory 5-day training led by us in this facility. After that, you are free to do whatever you want for the remaining five days."
"That ans all of you will have 6 etings with each of us, etings I don't want you to miss! Do you all understand?"
"Yes! We understand!" Everyone shouted, this ti louder as Ery and the others ex-regular acolytes followed the mass.
"Now, to make sure all of you are motivated, I will give out several of this to the most outstanding acolytes." Grand Magus Aimon said, taking out an object from his ring, an object that Ery was very familiar with, a Spirit Foundation Pill.
Ery could clearly see the eyes of many acolytes glistening with anticipation. After all, the pill was the most effective thod to increase the realm after reaching rank 7.
"Now, all of you will follow . I will let you all see the facilities the academy has provided for the elite class."
All 50 acolytes quickly followed the grand magus, walking through a hallway that was guarded by dozens of knights. They continued to walk until they finally ca out of the building and stepped into a big balcony that provided a view of the whole island.
"This island, Island 7, will be your ho for the next 60 days."
Ery then realized there was a group of acolytes, about hundred, on the other side of the balcony. They were wearing a slightly different uniform compared to him. He then realized they were third year acolytes.
