Chapter 875 Meeting

The appointed meeting was held on a planet located near the Magus Academy, necessitating only one portal to reach.

When Emery arrived, it was night on the planet. Many shimmering stars and even a streak of colorful aurora adorned the night sky above. Both complement each other harmoniously and softly lit the barren land filled with desert and rocks below, creating a dazzling spectacle.

Seeing this, Emery couldn't help but remember a quote he had read before.

'Every place has its own unique charm and it's up to you to discover and appreciate it.'

After appreciating the scene before his eyes, Emery turned his attention back to his surroundings. In the open area near the portal gate, he saw a dozen figures in yellow and white uniforms. All of them emitted the energy signature of saint-level individuals.

When they noticed him walking out of the portal, one of them ask,

"Welcome to the Harlight outpost of Nandor, are you here for the meeting?"

Emery nodded. "Yes, I am."

The man provided Emery with the information about the exact location of the meeting that was going to be held in a small fortress situated on top of a rock cliff quite a distance away.

However, just as he had said his thanks and was about to leave for the fortress, a disturbance appeared on the portal and two figures came out attracting everyone's attention without exception.

"Ah! Were you waiting for us? You don't have to, you know?" said one of the two when they noticed Emery.

The two people, who just walked out of the portal, were coincidentally Emery's two teammates, Annara and Atlas.

"I was actually hoping to come late, so that you would be embarrassed to arrive by yourself. I didn't expect you to have the same thoughts as me." Annara said with a mischievous smile.

Emery had gotten used to Annara's eccentric behavior. Hence, he decided to ignore it.

"Since you two are here, let's go."

While saying more words, Emery opened up a spatial gate. The three quickly entered and arrived right outside the fortress.

With a sweep from his Spirit Reading, Emery could sense at least 300 individuals emanating the energy signature of rank 9 and saint-level alike inside the fortress, plus several figures with magus level cultivation.

When the three of them were about to enter the fortress, another group of saint-level individuals in uniform stood in their tracks. These people stopped Emery's group to confirm their identities.

After providing their credentials, they were finally allowed to enter.

"Please come in. Most of the academy acolytes have already arrived, the meeting has satarted"

Emery and the other two headed where the people were gathering. It didn't take long for them to see it, a group of people in a half-open space surrounded by stone walls and pillars.

Half of those seen in this place were the acolytes of the Magus Academy, while the rest had to be the guards assigned to the place.

At the moment, there was a person standing on the pedestal, his voice could be heard reverberating all over the place. Emery looked over and saw exactly the person he was expecting.

Roran Harlight.

It seemed the young man had honed his innate talent in speech. Even Emery couldn't help but be blown away by the eloquence he displayed while standing there.

As they arrived somewhat late to the meeting, the three unanimously decided to stand at the back of the group and observe the overall situation first.

"Thank you for coming to this meeting, my fellow acolytes. I, as the elected representative of this meeting, would first like to express my appreciation for your participation in working together to get the most out of the upcoming mid-test."

Roran then began to introduce the leader of each team followed by the members, highlighting everyone present at the meeting.

Emery looked around and realized that everyone had grouped into their own team and were standing in their respective places in separate sections of the venue. Each group consisted of 30 people: one privileged acolyte, four elite acolytes, and 25 regular acolytes.

The first group was the 82th ranked privileged acolyte, Roran Harlight's group with himself as the leader. In the young man's group, Emery was able to recognize some well-known individuals from the elite class such as Malara, the female sand acolyte, and Lymord, the half-blood.

Emery didn't recognize the three other elite acolytes in Roran's group. Even so, he knew he couldn't underestimate them. He could sense that all three of them were high stage rank 9 acolytes. Must be the harlight dedicated bodyguards.

The second group was led by a girl with smooth-looking long blonde hair and a red small dot on her forehead. From the way she stood closely to Roran, she had to be a Harlight privilege acolytes.

The privilege bracelets quickly showed her information. She was the 32th ranked privileged acolyte and was named Lyndell. It seemed her group was not to be underestimated either, as she was surrounded by elite acolytes who all possessed high stage rank 9 cultivation.

After that, Emery turned his head to the third group that was led by his friend - the 92nd ranked privileged acolyte, Julian. As for the elite acolytes that comprised his team, three of them were Chumo, Thrax and Okoye with all of her Akanda warriors included within the regulars.

The two elite acolytes in Julian's group were also high stage rank 9 acolytes, which meant they must have been the ones sent by the Harlight.

It was clear that all three groups, a total of 90 people, were sponsored by the Harlight family.

The fourth group was led by Anas of Kaleos, with the designated privileged acolyte being the Titan's bloodline holder, the 16th ranked Sigurd. Naturally, Emery could see Klea's figure standing among them.

In addition, Emery was quite surprised when he saw the three brothers from Zaioeo - Zuna, Zaku and Ziki - were also part of the Kaleos group. It had been a while since he last saw them.

The fifth group was led by the two brothers Orion and Orycon, with the former being the 55th ranked privileged acolyte. Together with the two were familiar faces, such as Gerri the Violet Flame, the duo half-blood of Goat Bloodline Igor and Ivar, and Aiko the Jade Flash.

If one only looked at the people present, they would think this meeting was a sort of gathering for group 7's people. However, Emery could see a certain different atmosphere between these people.

Everyone appeared to be much more refined, as they listened to the introduction. There wasn't the usual bickering and conflict that had sparked many times before. It seemed most of them had been grouping up together during the last second game that Emery missed.

Finally, after the fifth group was introduced, Roran looked in the direction where Emery was and opened his mouth with a smile.

"Last but not least, let us all welcome the new addition group!"

In an instant, Emery could feel hundreds of eyes turning their attention towards him. Everyone looked at the group with many different expressions, when they noticed who they were.

Some were excited, while others were intimidated. The only thing that was similar was that everyone knew the three were the strongest individuals in the place.

Roran motioned for Emery and the two came forward to be shown as the 6th group.

"For those who are not familiar with the mid-test, listen carefully."

The Harlight prince then started to brief what he knows about the mid test
