"Ouse really be breaking the rules on his first day of class..." The voice rang out from a group of instructors who stood exactly around 200 meters away from the hall area of the academy, yet their gazes were still in the direction of the Interdimensional class, which was now completely empty of students.
They had watched the entire proceeding, and that included Ouse teleporting all of the students.
"This is what happens when you put an Interdimensional Fanatic genius in charge of teaching a group of green horns."
"Ouse will never agree to follow the damn academy rules once he gets fired up..." A female instructor said with a small giggle, as the instructors also chuckled among themselves.
"Hopefully, none of the students die on their first day, and Ouse held himself back and didn’t throw them straight into a dimensional gate."
"But I have to agree to this purpose. Instead of creating doubts in the minds of the Newcomers, might as well let them see things with their own naked eyes."
"If the naked reality of the world can be revealed to their green eyes on the first day of school, then breaking the school rules for that is worth it..." A muscular-looking instructor said with a sharp tone.
"Still, Ouse broke an academy rule. Report that to the Judges..." Another instructor said before he faded away from where he stood, as if he never existed, and the rest of the instructors soon followed, also disappearing.

"What..."
"What is happening...."
The thoughts veiled through the minds of the students as in one second, they were in the academy calmly sitting down before their instructor, their faces teched in disbelieve and right now, they were in a field with shimmering runes of energy all over the air around them, but then, every students feeling in their hearts chilled in their minds as they felt an incredibly wild aura brewing behind them.
Slowly turning their gaze behind them, the first thing they found was the sight of Instructor Ouse floating in the air and below his feet was a ginormous gate.
"Is that..."
"A dimensional gate..."
It was a gate, standing at an imposing height of five meters, its arched frame gleaming with a golden hue that dissipated and overthrew brilliant radiance. The gate appeared almost liquid, shifting and shimmering as though infused with starlight.
Intricate carvings of ancient symbols and geometric patterns were etched into the surface, pulsing faintly with a soft ethereal glow, a living energy that seemed to be Apex Energy, yet seemingly of a different brand to the one the students were familiar with.
The centre of the door was not solid, neither did it hold a doorknob, but instead had a translucent swirling vortex of light and colour, which could be seen, resembling a window of infinite possibilities.
Shades of blue, white, and golden spirals merged, creating the illusion of a boundless cosmos woven within the frame.
HUUUUUUUUUMMMM
The vortex emitted a low harmonic hum resonating with a sense of mystery and power.
"Now tell me..." Instructor Ouse’s voice took them all up from their gaze as he slowly floated down from the sky before landing beside the International Gate.
"Is there any one amongst you who will see this and still say interdimensional gates don’t exist?"
"Is there no one who can’t feel the aura emanating from this gate? The aura that you have never sensed before in Endearth?"
"Though like Apex Energy, this isn’t pure Apex energy either."
"It’s like a different brand, isn’t it? One alien? One monstrous?" Instructor Ouse said, as all of the students instantly slammed their legs to the ground and shot backward from the gate with speed, causing Instructor Ouse to chuckle with evil laughter.
"I was formerly thinking there would be some of you brave enough to say you wouldn’t believe in interdimensional beings existing until you enter this gate." Yet look at you, all retreating away like children burnt by flames..." he said in a mocking tone, before he hummed his throat.
"Our class for the day will continue here..." The man said, as the students’ faces displayed shock. The horrifying aura from the gate was causing their hearts to beat out of control, yet they were told they would continue in this area.
"There are three types of Interdimensional Gates." Instructor Ouse continued before any complaints could be made.
"Mortal Grade Interdimensional Gates, Knight Grade Interdimensional Gates, and Lord Grade Gates!"
"As some of you can already guess, this gate before you is only a Mortal Grade Gate. The lowest of the absolute lowest of grades of gates..." Instructor Ouse announced as the students’ jaws dropped to the ground.
"And why is this gate before us the lowest grade? Well, because the creatures that are within are noted to be in the cultivation plane that rivals our Early Stage of the Plane of Ascension, and the most powerful being behind this gate is at the Peak of the Stage of Dominion..." The man said casually, but the students’ hearts only sank further within.
"These Mortal Grade gates are simply basic interdimensional gates accessible to ordinary beings, mortals like you. They have limited power and can only connect to relatively nearby or low-tier dimensions to Endearth," he explained, and in such a situation where fear and shock had overwhelmed the students, the information glued into their heads, and probably would never be forgotten by them for years now.
"Now, with that done, how about we see the Knight Grade Interdimensional Gates?" Instructor Ouse asked with a distinct smile as he walked down the face of the students and they unconsciously backed away.
"Tsk, none of you even have some balls. When I was your age and I was shown a Mortal Grade Gate, I refused to believe anything was inscribed and fought the instructor to let me in..."
"Kinda disappointing how much bravery has been diluted in this current time. Tch, how sad."
"For now then, I’ll keep things safe for you all as your dear instructor Ouse..."
"You all will only be allowed to relate with Mortal Grade Gates, so let’s get back to class..." he said as Instructor Ouse raised his hand up once more, a deep wave forming around the various students and then he clapped!
And instantly, everyone faded away from the area, leaving the gate remaining.
