The distance between sector 3 and the academy, located in sector one, was immense. To reach there, every person had to either drive or fly in an airship.

For obvious reasons, no teleportation was allowed into the academy or even from hundreds of kilometers away from the border of sector one. Despite the airship's high speed, it would still take about a day to reach the destination.

During this day, Atticus met up and caught up with Nate and Lucas. He had decided not to train too hard today as he had no idea what to expect when they reached the academy.

He also used this time to find out more information about other sectors. The journey was completely peaceful without any problems.

And without him even noticing, the day passed in the blink of an eye.

...

In the entire human domain, there was only one academy.

The human domain spanned across millions of kilometers with billions of inhabitants, with the inhabitants increasing daily.

The fact that this vast domain with so many people had just a single academy, where every youth turning 15 had to attend, should be enough to understand the sheer size and scale of the academy.

"Lady Lila, do you think he's still coming?" he asked.

The girl, Lila, answered without turning to look at the boy, "He's 15, Lark. Everyone has to attend the academy at that age. Why are you asking me stupid questions?" she replied.

Lark bowed his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, Lady Lila, but I just want him to pay for what he did to young master Dell those years back," he added the last bit while gritting his teeth.

It was then that Lila turned to look at the boy, regarding him for a few seconds. Then she sighed, taking in a huge breath as if trying to bottle up her frustrations.

'Why do I have so many stupid people around me?' Lila thought. She exhaled, deciding to humor the idiot.

"Hmm. So let me ask you, what exactly is your plan for when he gets here?" she inquired.

Lark eagerly answered, "I'll challenge him in front of everyone, staking his family's honor so he couldn't refuse. Then I'll beat the living daylights out of him until he begs for his life," Lark said, clenching his fist and smiling slightly, as if foreseeing the punishment he wanted to inflict.

"Beat him? You're talking about the same person who easily defeated Dell, who was stronger than you, right?" Lila asked.

Lark seemed to understand what she was trying to say and quickly added, "That was years ago, Lady Lila. If both of them were to fight now, young master Dell would win within a second!"

Lila simply stared at the boy for a few seconds, then she suddenly turned her gaze back to the front. There were levels to stupidity, and this particular one was so high leveled that she didn't have the patience and niceness to cure it.

'He's just one of our hundreds of cousins who wants to gain Dell's favor anyway. He'll learn to use his brain the hard way,' Lila thought, choosing to ignore Lark.

After a few minutes, a giant imposing airship gracefully descended, landing at the tier one family area.

And from it, a procession of white haired youths walked out of the ship.
