Chapter 4

"Now, follow me into the campgrounds, and choose an academy. Remember, you may check on all the various academies, but once you have signed a contract to join one, you must not renege! Anyone who disobeys will be hung to death at the gate of the camp!"

Crow's frosty words made the acolytes hearts turn cold.

"Haha! Crow! You guys are pretty late today!" A voice sounded, and a fatty walked out from the camp grounds. He too was wearing a white robe, and he greeted: "Don't scare these adorable newbies!"

"There were some difficulties along the way!" Crow explained.

.....

After the 'Warm' Welcome in the Death Beach, a guy named Jevon brought Leylin and the rest, a total of 40 odd people, into the middle of the camp grounds.

Leylin didn't try any funny business, he already know A. I. Chip Right now doesn't have the ability to scan any thing here.

He had used the A. I. Chip to extract all the useful information he had about the Novel , although there is difference between reading and Seeing for yourself, He has Garner all the Information to get a firm grasp of the overall situation.

He took the form, and quickly filled it and got ready to take aptitude test.

Leylin had a borish face, 'I already know about the results, but I have to follow the drill '.Leylin finished writing, he picked up the sheepskin paper and entered the white tent.

"Come over!" An ancient voice sounded.

It was very spacious inside the tent, and there was only a white-haired old lady sitting on a black chair and a crystal ball which rested on a table.

"Hello!" Leylin greeted the witch. Before she can ask for it, Leylin already showed the form to her.

"Leylin huh? Place your hands on the crystal ball!"

Leylin followed the witch's instructions and placed both of his hands on the crystal ball.

A strange tactile feeling was transmitted from the tip of his fingers.

Unlike Novel, Leylin didn't fell an intense headache, but just a mild pain . ' Probably because my Soul strength increased'

Along with the start of his headache, the crystal ball in front of Leylin also emitted a faint glow. Leylin felt like he can take more , still after hearing the next line from the witch he decided otherwise.

"Very good! Don't let go! The witch stared attentively at the crystal ball.

The crystal ball in Leylin's hands grew brighter,

"No! No more!"

Leylin clenched his teeth, and left the Crystal ball before the Witch may suspect something. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"Okay! So you are at this level?" The witch nodded her head. She took out a goose feather pen and scribbled on Leylin's form.

'Now, i am totally confused, I have A. I. Chip, when I clearly should not have one, I have a mysterious Devour ability, Grade 4 Aptitude and same elements as Original Leylin, It like someone mysteriously picked out the best abilities and gave it to me '.

Leylin walked glazed out, suddenly George pop out, Seeing him Leylin decided to not think about it, It's useless for now, his only concern should be power. In the future when he will have sufficient abilities, he can search for these answer himself.

"Hey! Leylin!" George's voice rang beside his ears, "You finished your aptitude test too?"

George's voice travelled over.

"Yeah!" Leylin nodded his head.

"I have completed it too, hehe! I, this young master, am a genius with a fourth-grade aptitude!" George laughed loudly, wearing an excessively smug expression!

"Do you think you are the only one?" Leylin asked, Waving his sheepskin paper.

They talked a little mosty George telling him about Aptitude and Elemental Affinity, lastly about the Black Robed Knights strange behavior and some lewd shit , Leylin didn't paid much attention to him.

"I understand now. Let's go and choose our academy!"

"This! My father has already chosen for me, I'll be attending the Ennea Ivory Ring Tower. My family has a relationship with one of the senior Magi inside...Why don't you come with me too!" George gave an invitation.

"No! I wish to walk and look around more!" Leylin declined politely.

"Alright then, I am going to carry out the procedures. You can come to the area for the Ennea Ivory Ring Tower to look for me!" George waved his hands and squeezed into the crowd.

Leylin strolled aimlessly around the camp and took a look, saw some of the academy names, and memorised them, "Ennea Ivory Ring Tower, Mercifura Academy, Wetland Gardens..."

Leylin walked for about 10 minutes and finally reached his destination, "The Abyssal Bone Forest Academy welcomes you!" These big words were all written in red and dripping blood, which scared many of the surrounding acolytes away.

'It's quite something see it for yourself' Leylin shook his head and walked into the tent of white bones.

As he entered, a cold aura that reeked of blood engulfed Leylin and made his hair stand on ends.

"He he he...After waiting for long, finally, one comes!"

Leylin walked carefully as to not stand on his limb. Leylin talked with Dorotte and sold his Broken Artifact , gaining the card from him.

Going out he met many other students, After knowing of his fourth Grade aptitude they become ambient and tried to create friendship with him, Leylin just politely greeted them and minded his own business. He was waiting to ride to The Southern coast. He already has a fine grasp of what's what, So he didn't need anything from them and hence no question asked.

Soon George and his other companion from the journey left one by one on their Ships. Leylin knew their ship will come later , so he enjoyed the feast offered in the night and mostly kept to himself.

Next Morning, leylin started to gaze over the ocean fully aware of the horrors, it entails. Leylin delved into his subconsciousness and retrieved his body statistics.

[Leylin Farlier. Strength: 2.2, Agility: 2.4, Vitality: 2.7, Status: Healthy ]

With the help of Mysterious Energy, he somehow broke the bottleneck and reached Preparatory knights status. His strength has already surpassed that of Newly Minted Preparatory Knights but still he will be fish food in this place. ' I must reach the peak and look down on all of this Magus world, I will never be content with being weak '
