Chapter 47 Leaving for the Tower I
Kyle was startled when two deep pairs of eyes suddenly landed on his body, and because of the Vice Principal other students also turned around looking straight at Kyle.
'What the? I just said it was the Librarian why are they looking at me so strangely.'
It was definitely the Librarian. He just changed his eye and hair color!
How can Kyle forget about the annoying Librarian who mercilessly kicked him out of the Library?
Alec and Nine also gazed at Kyle, their eyes were strangely filled with pity.
Kyle wanted to curse but fortunately, Vice Principal George finally stopped staring at him after getting a signal from Professor Aliza.
Kyle sighed with relief while thanking Professor Aliza in his heart.
Meanwhile, Vice Principal George cleared his throat and first congratulated the 14 hard-working students who were going to enter the Tower before giving all of them a high-grade storage ring as a reward.
Different from weapons, storage rings were crafted using space magic. Also according to the space available inside the storage rings, they were divided into different grades;
Low grade.
Medium grade.
High grade.
Supreme grade.
The higher the grade of the storage ring the more expensive and valuable it was because higher-grade storage rings can hold more objects compared to low-grade ones.
Vice Principal George waved his right hand and 14 similar blue-colored rings appeared, each floating directly toward the students.
Kyle also got a storage ring, he peaked inside the ring using his senses.
The space inside the storage ring was comparable to the biggest room he had seen in his life. There was also something present inside the ring.
When Kyle's senses went a little closer toward the things stored inside the ring, he found out it was stored food and water which could last for months.
There was also a small pile of mana stones in a corner.
Kyle already had a storage ring but it was a low-grade storage ring given by his brother before he entered the Academy.
That's why he was thinking of getting at least a medium-grade storage ring for himself but the problem was he lacked the money to buy it.
Kyle looked at the Vice Principal, he was grateful for the storage ring.
Among the students, the storage ring was practically useless for rich kids like Carcel and Lara because they already had high-grade storage rings.
Still, having two at the same time was also not a bad thing at all.
After giving storage rings to the students, the Vice Principal's usual long and boring speech started.
He talked about how he was busy for the past two weeks preparing everything for the students and he also emphasized how the students have gotten such an amazing once in a lifetime opportunity all thanks to the Academy.
Everyone would have probably fallen asleep if the Librarian standing next to the Vice Principal didn't beg him to stop.
Well, he didn't beg but his voice was almost pleading.
Vice Principal George frowned but he stopped speaking after seeing the lifeless eyes of the students.
And finally, after introducing the Librarian as Elder Han, Vice Principal George waved his hand and a big ship appeared in front of everyone.
The students were not surprised because they were familiar with the big ship. It was the same ship the Vice Principal used when they passed the Academy Entrance test.
After getting a signal from the Vice Principal all the students and the Librarian entered the ship.
It seemed Professor Aliza wasn't going with them because she didn't enter the ship.
Under her gaze the towering ship started floating and reached the sky, disappearing from her sight.
Inside the ship,
All The students stood at the front, gazing at the clouds with excitement.
This time Kyle wasn't standing alone, he stood with Nine and Carcel. Even if he wanted to stand alone he didn't dare because the Librarian was continuously staring at his back.
On the other hand, Vice Principal George seemed to be really tired because the moment the ship departed he went to an empty room to sleep.
The small journey which lasted for a few hours was different for everyone, some were excited about a new adventure while some were tense about the danger they had to face after entering the Tower.
Meanwhile, Kyle was sweating buckets. He wanted to enjoy himself like everyone else but the deep stare from the Librarian didn't let him.
In the end, Kyle had no choice but to stay with Nine and Carcel the whole time.
He didn't let them go for even a second, fearing the Librarian might do something if he was alone.
Nine was a little surprised seeing Kyle so clingy, but even after probing for a while he was unable to find the cause.
On the other hand, Bia who was sitting on top of Kyle's head laughed crazily seeing the situation. She was laughing nonstop making Kyle even more annoyed.
After taking a deep breath, Kyle picked up Bia gently with his fingers and threw her toward the Librarian with an evil smile.
But even after Kyle did that Bia's laughter was heard around the whole ship.
...
After a few hours of floating the ship finally arrived at its destination.
Everyone gazed below and was awed seeing the luxurious Castle present below on the land.
Vice Principal George also walked out of the room, he waved his right hand and the ship slowly descended in front of the big Castle.
All the students left the ship, following behind Elder Han and Vice Principal George.
They gazed at the majestic gates of the Castle. The moment their eyes landed on the gates an invisible force descended on their shoulders but the force disappeared the moment Vice Principal George waved his hand.
The Castle gates opened and a huge beautiful garden was awaiting their arrival.
A few guards standing inside the garden welcome Vice Principal George before asking everyone to follow behind them.
While following the guards, the students saw the beauty of one of the biggest gardens they have seen in their lives.
The security around the Castle was also suffocating because the pressure radiating from the bodies of the guards was equivalent to (A)-Rank.
Among the students, only one person was unfazed seeing such luxury. It was Carcel.
He gazed at the garden and the Castle before sighing. He was finally back home after he left for the Academy.
