Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Purpose

With people recognising the Prophet, the entire place had been filled with constant chattering. Many people were talking about the Prophet as if he was some great being.

Many even said that era of prosperity was just around the corner for the Mythical Hero Academy. With the Prophet, who could suppress the Hero Academy?

There were also people who were wondering just what the Prophet was looking at. Many people, including the Guards, were looking in the direction where a group of people were standing in line. Amongst that group, Eren was also present.

The Guards knew that no action of the Prophet was without a reason. Still, they couldn't understand just why he looked in that direction but didn't say anything at all. Was it just a coincidence or did he see another prophecy?

No matter what, the Guard's attention was attracted to the group of people which brought quite a headache for Eren.

He had thought that he could enter the place without catching too much attention, but it was impossible now. He kept his head down as he moved forward.

With all the other people distracted and talking amongst themselves in groups, the line had lost all its meaning. People were standing in groups, even forgetting that they were here to enter the place.

Eren walked past the youngsters, reaching the forefront.

He handed over a pass to the guard, which contained a fake identification that he had bought when entering the Eastern Continent for the first time to help his movements.

Without an identification, it was much harder to even find a decent hotel to stay at, let alone doing so without catching any suspicions.

The Guard took Eren's identification which used his real name from Earth. After coming here, he had almost lost his real name as he was known as Ren Necroline.

Even though it was only in his fake identification, he could finally have his real name as Eren.

"What is your purpose in coming here?" the Guard asked, as Eren gave him an identification instead of a student pass, which meant he wasn't a part of the Academy.

"I am here to take part in the entrance exam," Eren gave an excuse which was impossible to prove false.

Instead of taking a shortcut through the portal that led him to a specific place in the Academy, he took the physical yet longer route as he couldn't judge what was at the end of each portal.

After walking for half an hour, observing various grand buildings, he soon reached a particular building that was spread for thousands of miles.

"She is inside?" he pondered, feeling her presence on the other side.

He wasn't sure if she could also feel his presence in the same way now that he was close to her. To prevent any accidents, he placed the token back in his inventory, cutting off any connection it had.

Without it, he couldn't precisely locate her. However, it was also better than her recognising him. In any case, he knew the building she was at.

He soon entered the building through the Main Entrance which was surprisingly the only building out of all that had no guards stationed outside.

He was able to walk inside with more ease than he expected which made him wonder just what this place was? What was Mist's daughter doing here?

Passing through the door, he found himself in a grand arena that spread out for as far as he could see.

The Arena was bustling with students, each one seemingly engrossed in their own world.

Some were practicing their abilities, appearing a little nervous. The others were engaged in intense discussions.

Eren's eyes scanned the crowd, looking for a familiar face of the person he was here for.

His attention was soon caught by a group of students gathered around a large statue in the center of the arena.

The statue depicted a man who looked like a heroic figure, his fist raised high.

Next to the statue of the man, there was another statue which belonged to a woman in a long robe. She had worn a unique looking gauntlet in her right hand. With her left hand, she was holding something that looked like a long branch of a tree.
