The main body of the ship was 30 meters tall. So it can be separated into ten floors of 3 meters each. But it was separated into five floors of six meters each.
This arrangement was to create enough space to accommodate large objects like Roar and Thor's golem. Roar was 4 meters tall. If space is not created for him, he would find the ship to be cramped.
This is a common arrangement because there are many humans who are four meters tall too. Tall humans are common among cultivators at the third mortal coil who built their foundation with their bodies.
The bodies of those who built their foundation with their bodies can grow from the tenth transformation to the hundredth transformation. This makes them turn into giants. So space must be created for them.
When Arthur and Thor boarded the ship, they found other people on the ship. All of them were wearing uniforms of the Blood Skull sect.
Some of the people on the ship were menial disciples coming along to maintain, clean, and operate the ship. Some of them were also A-grade students, but most of the disciples were S-grade students. So Arthur and Thor were among peers.
Many of the disciples were interested in them. After all, they have been in the sect for five years, yet they can already rank in the top 100. So their interest in Arthur and Thor was strong.
This high interest made the disciples stare hard at Arthur and Thor. Neither of them minded the intense gazes. They were too busy with what they had in their hands to care.
Everyone would have stared at each other without speaking if nothing had changed. But some of the old disciples were determined to speak with them.
Two old disciples approached Arthur, while more than ten approached Thor. These ten people surrounded Thor and began asking him about his red golem.
They were very interested in his golem, but Thor didn't speak with them. He wasn't being rude. He just doesn't like being surrounded by strangers.
The number of people surrounding Thor overwhelmed him. He might be outspoken to Arthur, but he is a shy person who doesn't like talking with people he isn't familiar with. So he just kept quiet and didn't say anything no matter what anyone asked him.
Unfortunately for Thor, they knew that he was not an extrovert and was rather reclusive. They had some experience with him shutting down because he had done the same thing when he was swamped after his first fight.
They had asked around, so they knew what to do to get him talking again. Someone brought out a coin made of an unknown metal mixture. Thor was immediately attracted to the coin.
The person made a deal with him. They would give him a special material for each question that he answered. Thor agreed and soon became a chatterbox.
While Thor was being coaxed with metal coins as if they were candy, Arthur was speaking with Jason and a tall guy wearing a golden armament that appeared to be made out of some lion's fur.
Arthur was 2.5 meters tall, but the guy was at least three meters tall. Arthur couldn't tell exactly because he had a large head of blond hair on his head that looked like a mane.
Jason also has blond hair. It is a trait of the Dyson family. But his blue eyes have become golden. His eyes were the same color as those of the golden-maned man.
Jason and the guy looked a lot alike. Even their armaments looked alike. The guy's armament was a fur coat made from a lion, while Jason's armament seemed to have been made from some bird because it had feathers.
But both of their armaments were golden. Their eyes and hair were golden too. So if Arthur didn't know any better, he would have thought that they were siblings.
In fact, he would have thought they were twins if not for the fact that Jason was shorter and thinner than the man. Jason was also more handsome, while the other guy was more rugged.
Jason was the first to speak. He smiled and said, "Hi, Arthur. Nice to see you again."
Then he asked, "When was the last time we met?"
Arthur put away his workbook and stepped down from Roar. Then he smiled and replied, "That was ten years ago during your send-off party."
Jason nodded and said, "Indeed, it was. How times have changed. You have now entered the best sect in the region and are even among the top 1,000."
Arthur corrected him, "You meant the top 100."
Jason laughed and said, "It seems you are still as proud as ever. It is good that the boy who bragged about being better than his father has not been lost."
Arthur also retorted, "It seems that you are still as cheerful as ever. It is nice to see that the difficulties of the sect haven't killed that part of you."
Jason said with a smile, "We have achieved so much progress, and yet we managed to keep what was fun about us. I dare say that we are doing well."
Then he pointed to the guy beside him and said, "This is Goldwyn. He likes shiny things and fighting."
The rugged man raised his hand in greeting and said, "I'm Goldwyn. I like shiny things and fighting."
He wasn't looking at Arthur when he said that. Instead, he was looking at Roar.
After getting his fill of Roar's shiny fur, he said to Arthur, "Nice pet."
Then he looked at Arthur and pointed at himself. "I broke your record in the fighting excellence test. You're good."
His eyes were full of pride when he said that. It made his eyes glow a little. Arthur sensed the sharp mana fluctuations coming from it and was able to determine that it was metal.
Goldwyn was stronger than Jason and looked brighter than him on the surface, but deep down on the level of mana, Jason was brighter because his element was the light element.
