24 Keep it in control

"What happened? Did 'we', do this?" Sai asked slowly emphasizing the word 'we'.

"Yes, and I guess I have to keep you seven under surveillance. We can't have you blowing up stuff at school or hurting other students by mistake." Riana was thinking of ways to control and teach the seven teens in front of her as she calmed down.

"Alright, for now, I will take you to your dorms. And I am warning you! Don't you dare use your Qi. The academy officially opens tomorrow and thousands of students are going to be in the campus. With the seal breaking rituals in place, the fourth years and the professors will be very busy. So I recommend you to stay together if you are going somewhere or preferably just stay in your dorms. Got it?" Riana's tone went back to normal as she glanced at the seven.

"Yes, mam." The seven shouted in unison and followed Riana.

Riana led the group first to the entrance of the boy's dorm and asked one of the dorm supervisors to lead the four to their rooms and also to show around the way to other parts of the dorm while Riana led the girls to their dorms. The dorm had enough rooms to contain at least 9,000-10,000 students and had many supervisors who try to enforce the rules to their best.

"Ha...what a soft bed. I think I am going to fall in love with this bed." Sai fell on to the bed as soon as he entered the room and let out a sound of satisfaction. Sai and Ian shared a room while Clint and Leo were in the room opposite to them.

"Hey, wait! How do we contact the girls now?!" Sai got up from the bed abruptly and rushed towards Leo's and Clint's room.

"Leo, how do we contact the girls now?!" Sai rushed into their open room without knocking while the latter were finally about to relax on their beds.

"Don't worry, I told them to meet us at our dorm entrance around four in the evening cause we don't know their dorm yet, besides that, we will meet during lunch anyway. Let's just have our lunch and then go out to the city and buy whatever we need like clothes and stuff." Leo answered nonchalantly as he closed his eyes.

"We still need to meet that man Ramsay and get the money Lord Liam sent as well. We won't survive long without money." Ian reminded the group as he walked in slowly to which they all agreed with a nod.

"Alright then, it's only 11 right now. Let's relax for now and just laze in here till the evening after lunch. You guys do remember the way to the canteen, don't you?" Clint laid down on his bed and stretched out as he said those words. By the time the four boys settled down, the three girls already took a shower and went to take a nap.

The seven were extremely tired mentally and physically after their seven day journey which included a less than a minute death round with a pack of wolves. The seven got up by 1 in the afternoon and made their way to the canteen which was situated between the girl's and boy's dorm.

The group got used to eating more compared to others and munched down the food in the canteen after buying food with all the money they had with them. Their lunch constituted of salads, curry, fried chicken and rice.

The seven agreed on meeting back at the boy's dorm before they separated and went back to their own dorms. The three girls took a quick nap after chatting with each other before meeting up with Leo and others at their dorm.

The seven found their way out of the academy after asking directions from the guards that were present every here and there. Soon the group merged with the busy streets of Arcadia and asked the people on the streets, the way to Norion bank. After walking for around thirty minutes looking around the city, the seven stood before their destination.

The Norion bank was like the centre of attraction and was extremely busy just as any banks on earth. The bank was guarded heavily by many skilled elementors who were always on high alert. Erina shrank behind Clint after witnessing the overbearing demeanour of the elementors guarding the bank. The seven walked in through the front gate which had a white layer of Qi which covered the entire building. The Qi around the building was infused with special spells which prevented others from using spells but one could still use his Qi.

"Umm...excuse me, we are looking for someone named Ramsay. Can you tell us where we can find him?" Leo asked one of the many assistants present in the bank who were helping the customers in every way possible.

"What?! You want to meet Master Ramsay. Do you have an appointment? Who are you?" The assistant who had a pleasant face suddenly turned serious as soon as he heard the name, Ramsay.

"We were told to meet him and show him something." Leo answered casually.

"Who are you trying to trick kiddo?"

"See, this is what we were supposed to show him." Leo took out one of the golden coins Liam gave the seven and showed him.
