Chapter 17

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Magic Continent was vast.

There were many countries on the continent.

The Sacred Shield Empire was not the weakest among these countries, but it was not the strongest either.

Within the Sacred Shield Empire.

There were four magic academies that the students yearned to enroll in.

The four magic academies were respectively.

Imperial Capital Magic Academy.

Holy Glory Magic Academy.

Holy Vestige Magic Academy.

Sacred Hall Magic Academy.

Among them, the Imperial Capital Magic Academy and the Holy Glory Magic Academy were located in the capital of the Empire.

The Sacred Hall Magic Academy was located on Mount Otto in the far west of the Empire.

As for the Holy Vestige Magic Academy, it was located in the most prosperous city in the southern part of the Empire, Ancient City of Oz.

…

Ancient City of Oz.

In the morning.

Today, the weather in the Ancient City of Oz was not very good. The sky was gloomy and there was not a trace of sunlight.

On a large-scale magic teleportation array in the city.

A young man appeared.

He walked down the teleportation array.

He sized up the city.

As expected of the most prosperous city in the southern part of the Empire, Rost City was incomparable to this.

Apart from prosperity.

What surprised Karl the most was that there were many mages here.

And most of them were very powerful.

“Welcome to Ancient City of Oz, Honorable Mage.”

Walking down from the magic teleportation array, Karl handed over his mage badge for the soldiers to check.

After all, this was a mega city in the Empire. One would have to go through inspection when they first entered it.

When the soldier saw Karl’s mage badge, his expression became respectful.

However, he wasn’t as respectful as the soldiers in Rost City.

After all, these were soldiers of a big city. They were well-trained and stood guard by the magic teleportation array every day.

They had seen many mages.

“Honorable Mage, where are you going? Why don’t you tell me your destination and I’ll tell you which teleportation array to use?”

The soldier returned Karl’s mage badge.

Then, he said with a smile.

The Ancient City of Oz was too big and there were too many people.

It was impossible for each place to only have one small-scale teleportation array.

Therefore, there were countless small-scale magic teleportation arrays in the Ancient City of Oz.

On this square, there were over a dozen small-scale transmission arrays.

In fact.

There was a road map around every magic array. People could go wherever they wanted.

However, the young man in front of him was a mage after all, and the soldiers were happy to guide him.

“Holy Vestige Magic Academy.”

Karl smiled at the soldier.

Since the soldiers were willing to help him, he naturally would not refuse.

“Huh? Are you going to the Holy Vestige Magic Academy too?”

Before the soldiers could reply, a girl’s voice sounded from behind.

Then, a fragrant breeze hit them.

A woman came up beside Karl.

Karl looked at the woman.

She was about the same age as him. Her complexion was fair and she looked exquisite. Her golden hair was not tied up and they fell on her shoulders.

She had an extraordinary aura.

The woman was wearing a long white dress. Her chest was voluptuous, and her long legs were exposed, catching Karl’s attention.

Karl could not help but take another look.

“Yes, I’m going to the Holy Vestige Magic Academy.”

Karl nodded in response to the woman.

“Perfect. Me too. We’re going the same way.”

The woman handed her mage badge to the soldier as she spoke.

The soldier looked at it and handed the mage badge back to the woman. “Honorable Mages, please proceed to the small-scale teleportation array to Holy Vestige Magic Academy. It’s number nine. This way.”

“Okay.”

Karl nodded, then joined the woman and headed in the direction the soldier had pointed, the small-scale magic teleportation array number 9.

“Hey, are you also a special admission student of the Holy Vestige Magic Academy?”

The woman asked curiously on their way there.

“Yes.” Karl nodded.

The woman continued, “My name is Elena Catherine. What about you?”

“Karl Solo,” Karl replied.

Elena, who was walking beside Karl, looked up slightly at Karl’s side profile.

She was in a good mood.

After all, she had met a future classmate in the crowd.

However…

This student doesn’t seem to like talking?

He answered whatever he asked and walked forward without a word.

Actually.

It wasn’t that Karl didn’t like to talk. He just didn’t know what to say at this moment.

After all, they had just met.

“Karl, where are you from?”

The square was huge. They were still a long distance away from the number 9 small-scale magic teleportation array.

It was not a good idea to remain silent.

Since Karl did not speak, Elena continued to speak.

“I’m from Rost City. How about you, Elena?”

Karl said.

“What a coincidence, I’m from Nasklow City.”

Elena grinned.

Hearing this, Karl was a little surprised. Nasklow City was located in the south of Rost City.

It was also the closest city to Rost City.

However, although the distance between the two cities was very close,

But in terms of scale, economics, population, education, etc.

Nasklow City was better in every way.

They continued chatting.

The two of them arrived at number 9 small-scale magic teleportation array and gave their mage badge to the soldiers to chek. Then, they were teleported to the area where the Holy Vestige Magic Academy was located.

After exiting the teleportation array.

One of the four major academies of the Empire, the Holy Vestige Magic Academy, was already right in front of them.

The Holy Vestige Magic Academy had a long history. It was of a certain scale before the existence of the Sacred Shield Empire.

And apparently,

The founding emperor of the Sacred Shield Empire was able to conquer this territory thanks to the Holy Vestige Magic Academy. The Holy Vestige Magic Academy contributed significantly.

However, after the founding of the country, the Holy Vestige Magic Academy did not move to the capital.

In the three thousand years since the establishment of the Sacred Shield Empire, countless powerhouses came from the Holy Vestige Magic Academy.

It was also because of their existence that the surrounding countries did not dare to invade the Sacred Shield Empire..

As Karl and Elena approached, an imposing academy gate appeared before them.

Beside the door was a magic monument that was almost ten meters tall. There were a few words carved on it.

Holy Vestige Magic Academy!

When Karl looked at the words, he could feel a powerful magical power spread out, affecting his mind.

“Stop looking at it!”

Elena quickly pulled him back as he pulled his gaze away from the magic monument.
