Chapter 101: Supreme Academy

The manifested gate was ancient as well as Majestic. Anyone who glimpses the appearance of the gate would experience their soul-sucking into it.

Suddenly a handsome, blond guy appears from the black outward-swinging gates that were engraved with seven Sacred Emblems.

He was very handsome and elegant. Besides he was tall and had shoulder-length silky blond hair, with scarlet-red eyes and a cheerful smile. When he becomes overly boisterous, his aura changes and he sports an atrocious grin with an equally atrocious personality to match.

"Trying to kill my friend...this sin is more severe than anything," The youth walked towards the guard and checked his body.

Later he stood and looked in the direction where Mayank and his group went.

"Eh! What an idiot," He chuckled.

He thought for a second and decided to follow them.

However, a voice reaches into his ears," Master Francisco, We can't roam here anymore or those people will know our location. It is disastrous to freely kill someone here."

"Uncle Edward, just let me stay here for two more days. My friend is in danger," Shivam requested.

"Master Francisco, give me order, I will silently kill them now. It will save us our time," The old man in a black suit respectfully replied.

"Uncle Edward, please let me stay in this human world for two days. I want to see him for the last time." 

Shivan pleaded to the old man.

The old man thought for a bit of a second and then replied," Only two days, but you have to admit in the Blood Magic course which Master Rai has told."

Shivan hesitated for a fraction of a second and then nodded his head.

Blood Magic Course!

'It is hard to listen to those boring lectures but I simply have to pass the time in that damned magus class,' Shivam internally thought to himself.

When Shivam first visited the supreme Academy which is located in the Cardio Supreme Planet. He was excited to learn from there. However, with time he realizes that there existed loneliness.

He recalls how he was deceived by his father to visit there.

Could anyone imagine he was teleported to there in his slumber. 

Shortly, He recollects about the most shocking day of his life which was the first day in the Trail Session.

***(Shivam remembering the first day in Supreme Academy)****

That day, a sharp ringing sound filled Shivam's head as he opened his eyes. The moment the ringing disappeared he then noticed the dark blue sky and the colossal castle in front of him.

He was at a loss. This castle was bigger at least ten times than the royal castle of the Vampire Region of Sincromas world. Not only its size, its spiral shape connected to arcs and other buildings with stones painted white, which seemed to radiate some light, were things he had never seen before even from the books he had read in his father's library.

However, that wasn't only the strange thing. He swept his gaze from left to right and there were an uncountable number of young people that seemed to be the same age as him walking in rows toward a strange large tower.

Shivam also moved with them and started to walk following the person in front of him.

At that time, he understood he was in the Supreme Academy due to the peoples he saw guarding the majestic gate.

It didn't take long before they arrived in front of the giant tower that seemed to stretch toward the sky, looking from its feet. There were like thousands of people wearing the luxurious armor he had seen before and the widest staircase he had ever seen going into the tower.

At the center of the stairs, there were several men and women wearing white and black robes. The man who had a long beard appeared to be the oldest stepped forward.

Shivam felt like he was looking at lord Dracula despite the old man being the same age as his father. And the old man stomped his staff, and a voice sounded in his mind.

"Welcome to the Supreme Academy of the Black wind Galaxy," the old man said, not moving his lips.

Thousands of people reacted with surprise as they stared at the old man.

The man then continued, "The trial session which will start from today and last for 10 days will give you a better understanding to choose your Class and course. Only 100 students will be selected for the 1st year of Supreme Academy, so decide wisely."

All of them know that the Supreme Academy test will begin after 10 years, But as a chosen one from their respective planets, they have priority to learn about the class and courses before the test.

After the old man finished speaking, he waved his staff and everyone felt a burning sensation in their left palms as if they had been stamped by a hot iron. In Shivam's palm, a circle with a line extending from the bottom to top formed, and the ringing sound filled his head again.

[Welcome Student, you have chosen Magus Class. I will bind to you for a total of 10 days and guide you. ]

That day Shivam learned about technology. And this so-called voice was a simple AI transmission which is an advanced form of technology.

It was also the day he regrets choosing the Magus Class instead of the Technology Class.

However, What can he do? He never hears about so-called Technology in the Sincromas world.

The next 10-days magic class trial session was hell for him. Besides, the 6th day was the day he hated the most.

Every day, a new course was familiarized to them and on the 6th day, he discovered the most boring course, the Blood magic course.

On the contrary, he liked the 9th-day magic course, Dark Magic Course.

***(End…)****

After the incident, Shivam and Uncle Edward faded away in the darkness of the street and the once opened gate is now closed.

…

It was already the morning of the next day when Kritos opened his eyes from the deep sleep.

His eyes were blurry and his mind was now clear. He could feel that his weakness is lifting gradually. 

Still, there are 6 more hours left before his weak state is completely wiped out.

Kritos decided to fresh himself first before breakfast. 

"If my memory serves me well, then today is Mother 's birthday," Kritos murmurs before going to the bathroom.

When Kritos came after refreshing, he heard his mother's voice from the kitchen.

"Kritos, come here!"

"Wait, Mom, let me dress first."

Kritos said and then proceeded to his room. Today, he also has to make a plan for his mother's birthday.

After wearing the blue clothes, Kritos set his long hair which was long enough to touch his waist.

Now, it becomes problematic to walk with long hair. So, he was thinking about cutting it.

It also has potential health threatening issues if long hair accidentally gets caught in the fights or in the training.

In those cases, serious injury to the scalp or head may occur.

This would definitely be classified as dangerous.

Besides, Kritos wanted to become an adventure. So, the long hair will keep disturbing him in the forest areas. 

Kritos quickly disregard these thoughts and walk outside his room.

…

"Yes, mom! Do you need any help mom," Kritos asked after he arrived at the Kitchen.

"I want you to help me in cooking," Without looking at him, Radha calmly said.

"Eh!"

A confused expression appears on Kritos face.

"But mom I don't know how to cook. Besides, I heard if someone prepares food for themselves, they lose their taste for their own food," Kritos tried to explain.

"I know that. So, I am going to teach you and don't use your lazy facts."

"But why mom? Why do I need to learn to cook? It is boring and tiring. Can I help you in anything else?" 

"No, You need to learn to cook because soon you'll be going out for your adventure and you will be living alone. I won't be with you then. So you need to learn to take care of yourself," Suddenly, tears flowed out from her eyes but Radha managed to hide it from Kritos.

"But mom, I can get it from the hotel. I won't have to cook then." Kritos doesn't notice the tears in his mother's eyes because he was distracted.

"You can't rely on hotel service. Most of the time, adventures get really sick because of the poor quality of the food they get. Besides, you need to be prepared for all kinds of situations," Radha explained.

After a pause, she continued, "Besides, it will be my birthday gift from your side."

Kritos chuckled and said," Ok, mother, as your wish."

…

What Kritos doesn't know is that this decision will open a completely blocked path for him after 1000 years.
