Drowning with anxiety while feeling cold inside the air-conditioned Stream Bus, Russell flipped the School Trip Guide or a seven-page pamphlet where the information regarding the destinations was exquisitely printed.

After the Stream Bus left at exactly five in the morning, it only took them fifteen minutes to reach the enormous Warp Gate centered in the Obelisk City or the Capital of Olympia.
A Warp Gate in the capital was connected to every other capital, as ntioned above, of each different country, but the destination could be set with the help of the players managing such a too-significant, towering artifact.
The Warp Gate was around ten ters wide and had a stature of at least twenty ters. The players or the workers of such Warp Gate were always inford regarding the school trip of the Obelisk Academy or any other academy, thus, the two operators weren't surprised to see lines of enormous, long school buses, which housed more than fifty students each.
"Alright. Designating location to Magia."
One of the operators spoke diligently, and as soone cognizant regarding the Warp Gates chanism, he operated it and edited so runic language carved using an artifact ant to be used only for Warp Gates.
A deep woong intermittently resounded, and after double-checking the Warp Gate's endpoint destination, the two operators gestured to everyone, by thumbs up, on the Stream Buses that it was all set.
After that, the Stream Bus where Russell was assigned, as well as the others beside and those from behind, entered the Warp Gate that contained a bluish, because of Mana, vibrating concave mirror-like static wave.

At around 5:30 A.M, Russell and the others found themselves in the most luxurious hotel in the Orion Continent, the Ethereal Hotel of the Wanderer of the country, Etheria.
It was located at least more than a hundred ters away from the Ethereal Guild Headquarters. The latter, though, was located two hundred ters away from the Royale Palace where the Queen of Etheria resides.
"What a grand, majestic place!"
Alie exclaid. Her ruby eyes were wandering around as soon as they entered the Ethereal Hotel of the Wanderer, which was commonly known, to the natives of the country, as the Wanderer Hotel.
The hotel was around two hundred ters tall, consists of at least fifty floors, and had different sceneries worth sightseeing similar to an ocean park, zoos, playgrounds, and so on. There were also casinos, which Russell was tempted to try if not for his seemingly undying worries at the mont.
It was a massive tower hotel that cost trillions of Obel to be made. In the land that produced the most harvest or necessities in agriculture circulated throughout the continent, the Magia, or the country's capital could be said as truly magical.
Each floor consists of eighty guest rooms, which could accommodate at least two people each. Though it wasn't ant to be for couples only.
It's also the reason why the Wanderer Hotel was famous among those newly married nobles from Cassiopeia due to a certain reason.
Apart from exquisite, intricate architecture and magic engineering, the Wanderer Hotel contained so mysterious wanders when the clock exactly hit midnight. Because at that ti, every guest room's ceiling and walls would beco panoramic and the night sky with glimring stars would be projected.
It was an illusory projection used with the help of the hotel's core, which was blessed by the Wanderer Goddess or with cosmic Title as the Wanderer of Cosmos with whom Eliana, the queen, had a Star Contract with.
It lived up to its na as Wanderer Hotel as it could bring the guest an otherworldly experience.
'Similar to having LSD, but with a few extras.'
Russell thought, rembering a certain drug in his past life.
"Hey, are they from the Sky Academy?"
Although the professors and the Student Council Body and Disciplinary Committee Officers already knew, the first years up to third years were confused when nurous students with different uniforms entered the extravagant hotel.
Russell was jolted awake by Alie's words, causing him to turn his head to the wide automatic door powered by Magic Stones.
'Again with this cliche.'
Russell inwardly lampooned upon seeing the students wearing blue uniforms where a symbol depicting a sky was intricately printed. So expressions of the students were of curiosity, but so others were wearing the kind of face that wanted to test another player's skill from the opposing academy.
Based on the itinerary, after lunch, in the Etheria Colosseum, there's an event to be held. As the author of a mysterious book, knowing what would happen, Russell couldn't help but inwardly let out a sigh.
"They ain't look strong, though."
"Hey, stop your mouths. If not for his death, you'd be only second."
One of the n with a well-built body from the Sky Academy whispered, clearly heard by so Obelisk Students.
Russell turned around, causing Alie and Freya, who was now on cold shoulders with her older brother, to follow him as he just walked away from the cliche.
'I guess I'll let out so steam later.'
Russell inwardly thought as a grin was painted on his face.

Finding themselves in the wide theatrical stadium inside the hotel, the words regarding the official comncent of the school trip were then announced by the Student Council President, who was a puppet of Alie.
"Ehem... Ehem... That will be all."
Russell weakly elbowed Alie to the side.
At this mont, there's no rule that everyone should stick together as long as they followed the rules and do not go to restricted places.
"Ken's with his friends on A-2, right?"
Alie, standing from her seat, glanced to one side to see Ken, talking with his previous classmates. Russell didn't need to worry about such a thing, though Ken seed bound by the secrets of Chaos, as long as he didn't divulge anything Chaos-related, the forr couldn't care less about what the latter's business was.
Russell didn't answer her, instead, he looked at his younger sister with a solemn expression.
