Chapter 98: Aetheric Duelist



The next day dawned and Emir went to the open training area for hunter trainees in the academy; although he has yet to join as a student, they allowed him in as they assumed he would join as a student in two years.

Lyra had already reserved a private room for him the day before, so all he needed to do was get there.

Walking through a long hallway, he passed many hunter trainees; some looked to be green and had yet to see the horrors of the world, while others looked to be experienced kids that had gone through hell to join the academy.

And now that he remembered all of the novel, he put more focus on identifying the students in case he finds a named character.

However, his luck wasn't great, as he failed in his search.

Emir then approached the entrance of the building and gazed up at the towering structure.

He saw hunters of all ranks streaming in and out of the building, their various weapons and equipment glinting in the sunlight.

As he stepped through the entrance, he felt the energy and excitement of the hunters around him, all eager to hone their skills and become stronger.

The interior of the building was a vast, open space filled with all manner of training equipment and weapons.

There were dummies for practicing hand-to-hand combat, targets for practicing marksmanship, and even special secret training rooms for practicing abilities and spells. Emir walked into the training area and looked around, taking in the sight of hunters of all ranks scattered throughout the room, each one focused on their own training regimen.

As he approached the receptionist, he asked, "Hey, do you have a training room reserved under the name Emir?"

The receptionist looked up at Emir's face and then down at his terminal.

His eyes scanned it for a while as he looked through a list of names.

His gaze turned to Emir as he said, "I have never seen you around before, and you're pretty young for an S-ranked room; are you sure you didn't mistakenly reserve the wrong room?"

Emir shrugged his shoulders and said, "Nope, I'm good; I'm just quite a bit stronger than those my age."

The sword and olive branch are crossed behind the globe, symbolizing the balance between diplomacy and strength.

The colors used in the UEF insignia are blue and gold.

Blue represents the vast oceans and skies of Earth, while gold symbolizes the value of unity and the wealth of resources found on the planet.

The emblem's light started to spread across the room, illuminating it with a soft blue light.

And as the light faded away, Emir saw that the room had transformed into a state-of-the-art training facility.

The walls were lined with high-tech equipment and weapons, and the floor was marked with training circles and obstacle courses.

He couldn't help but feel impressed as he looked around the room, realizing that this was why the academy was so sought-after.

Although most of it was useless to him, he had Lyra after all.

So ignoring all of it, he sat in a lotus position as he talked to her:

[Any audio or video recording devices?]

[None at all.] She answered after a short moment.

[I see, then do you want to join me here next time?]

Lyra materialized in front of Emir and puffed her cheeks while saying:

[D-don't tease me, you know that I would obviously say yes to that.]

Amused by her reaction, he said with a wild smile, [Quite the bold woman, I like it.]

[Now enough about that, let's get into my training.]
