From MC's Perspective:
A few minutes later,
I arrived in front of the floating tower shaped building. I swept my gaze around and recognised the building in front of .
It's the Special Mage Departnt building shown to by Elder Iris that day. There is a wide and long staircase which works as a bridge between the entrance of the building to the ground.
Seeing that I started walking on the stairs which lead to the main door. While stepping forward on each step. I found that these stairs are not simple.
There must be magic engravings on it. But I didn't have the guts to probe using the system function. Who knows? I might trigger so hidden function.
I shifted my attention from curiosity and resud walking.
After reaching the top, I arrived in front of the main door. Then I started looking for the panel. But there was nothing there.
Then I thought of sothing. I opened my digital ID on the screen on my storage bracelet. A holographic ID pops up.
The next second, the main door shone with bright light. The light fell on the Digital ID of mine.
Creak!
The next second, the door opened with a thud sound. I sighed inwardly. I knew there must be sothing. Seeing that the door was opened, I walked inside.
My heart is filled with excitent and anxiety at the sa ti. I don't know what's going to happen next. I'm hoping to find a backer like I had done in the previous academy.
After entering inside the building, I noticed that there were multiple rooms and corridors. Like the dormitory rooms, the space magic was in work here as well.
But where to find help. I started to feel impatient.
Then I hear footsteps coming from one of the corridors. I spotted a middle aged man wearing black suit walking towards .
"You must be Vincent Carey!"
"I'm Paul Lin, I'm one of the elders here," He said, his introduction was casual, plain and simple.
On the other hand, I sized up the person in front of . If not for his footsteps, I wouldn't have spotted him. He appears to be a regular human.
Which ans he is more powerful. I used the system to probe the details. The system showed his strength as a level-9 Wizard. His Magic is to do with climate control.
My heart imdiately set off storms. His Magic na sounds simple. I know it's terrific magic in the right condition. And I was right in my judgnt. He is indeed an elder.
But I'm curious about his standing among the Elders of the Special Mage Departnt.
"What happened?" Paul asked.
Hearing that my thoughts returned to reality. I looked at him and said,"It's nothing."
Paul Lin appears to be mature and educated. He has black hair and eyes. He stands well above 6ft fall in height. His physique is lean. His skin tone is light and pale white. His age appears to be middle aged.
But it can be deceptive.
"Well, you are new here. I can understand your feelings. Co with I'll introduce you to others," Paul said with a smile.
I involuntarily nodded my head and started following from behind.
"He is a level-9 Wizard. No way, I could fight against him at my current level," I said in my heart.
I should be low key until I reach the level-7 Strength. Elder Paul walks through the corridor before reaching a conference hall.
"It's the conference hall of our departnt. This is where we all gather together and discuss important topics," Paul said without turning back.
He opened the door and walked into the hall boldly.
The next second, I could hear people's murmurs disappear and the place beco quiet all of a sudden.
Paul Lin is standing on the stage. His eyes swept across the Wizards in the conference room including the juniors and seniors.
There are more than 100 Wizards here, cutting across, seniority,levels, ages, gender and magic were gathered in this huge hall.
Paul looks professional in the suit. The Young Wizards were looking at him. But the old ones were looking at him with dread.
"The True Elents Society is one of the powerful wizard organizations in the Ancient Redwood Country. The mbers of the organization are well over a million.
But the core of the True Elents Society are the several Magic departnts, Magic Palace, Council, Vice-Dean and Dean and Hidden Powers.
The mbers of these factions are the real strength of the True Elents Society. So today soone talented is going to join our Special Mage Departnt, adding strength to our Departnt and Organisation
Let's welco, Vincent Carey!
A level-5 Sub-Taboo Wizard, Gravity Magic User," Paul Lin said with a smile. His introduction was on the point.
Claps!
The wizards sitting down below started clapping.
Outside,
I felt an adrenaline rush all of sudden. Like soone injected with a powerful potion. Feeling the gaze of Elder Paul. I controlled my emotions before taking a step forward into the hall.
I walked onto the stage amidst the countless gaze of Wizards.
I nodded to Elder Paul before turning face towards the Wizards gathered in the Hall. Like a needle pin, I felt nurous gazes probing .
"What? Level-5!"
"His strength is pitifully low. Even my guard is high ranking wizard"
"Level-5 trash, what is he doing here?"
"How can they allow likes of him to get into our departnt?"
"Harumph, gravity magic. It must be trash as his level"
[Ding! Warning]
[Several hostile gazes were found]
The chanical voice sounded in mind. I realized they must be from influential backgrounds. Other than that there is no reason for them to pick a fight with .
On top of it, they have already started to look down on .
"Silence," Paul uttered.
His words fell like thunder in everyone's ears.
"From today onwards, Vincent Carey is a mber of our Special Mage Departnt. I hope everyone will get along. I'm hearing lot of things against Vincent Carey"
"I hope the mbers of our departnt won't be stupid. The council has given power to deal with the troublemakers here," Paul said in a cold tone.
His gaze specifically directed at those who showed hostile emotions. At his level, it's easy to find those people.
"Vincent, co with ," Paul said again.
Hearing that I felt relieved and started following him again.
anwhile,
The Wizards resud their talks again. They have known about the newcor. But still they think level-5 is a little weak to survive here.
Even those who were quite optimistic earlier started to change their view. Wizards were respected based on their strength.
Even though they have no personal grudges like the aristocratic faction. Yet, Vincent Carey's current level is not enough for them to show attention and respect.
Different wizards held different views. The Aristocratic Wizards were happy that newcors got mixed responses. The Special Mage Departnt is quite United unlike other departnts. Read exclusive adventures at empire
If people had shown optimistic support, it's difficult for the aristocratic wizards to do sothing against Vincent Carey. But now they can act against him. Even if anything bad happens, then they can pin it on Vincent Carey's weak strength.
The Aristocratic Wizards here, both males and females exchanged looks. The numbers of wizards from aristocratic backgrounds are few in numbers in the Special Mage Departnt compared to other departnts.
But if they all join hands together. Then they can easily drive away the new cor or in the worst case make him disappear. So the careful scheming has begun from this mont on.
anwhile,
"Vincent, you have got things from the main administration. But as a mber of our Special Mage Departnt. There are few things we give it to our new mbers," Paul said.
Hearing that I imdiately felt better. The previous gloomy scene disappears from my mind.
"Elder, what are these things?" I asked.
Paul noticed Vincent's change in mood. His eyes flashes with approval.
"Looks like he won't have any problem surviving here," He said in his heart.
Then he replied,"We will give the battle mage robe of our Special Mage Departnt. During the competition, wizards wear their departnt mage robe."
"There is also our departnt crest. This is normal stuff. But our third gift is most important. This is what attracts the newcors and why everyone wants to join the Special Mage Departnt. We allow the new mber to choose one of the treasures from our treasure vault" Paul added with a musing smile.
I raised my eyebrows in surprise. But in my heart, I'm scolding,"Don't make raise my hope."
Yet, there is so excitent. The treasure vault of the Special Mage Departnt must have important treasures. I don't know where there will be any useful stuff for .
First, he led to his office to give the battle mage robe and crest. The crest symbol intrigued . Because the crest is a star symbol.
I held the crest in my hand. Touching it, I felt a cooling sensation in my finger. I'm wondering what it's made up of. The crest color is relatable to the silver stars in the night skies.
I wore the Star Crest next to the Concentric Circles Crest, which represents the True Elents Society.
