Chapter 409 Opening Of Trials Ground

Two days ago,

"Enough is enough, don't target the son of the Greville Family anymore,"

"Okay Father, but they will become a hindrance in the future," Leonard said while looking at the hologram of Osbert Tarvian before him.

"Focus on the 'product', the matters of the Greville family are not your concern anymore," Osbert spoke in a cold tone.

"There are too many variables that have emerged, and I will not tolerate any mistake," Osbert said as the call disconnected.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

Leonard looked at the screen where Osbert was a few seconds ago, and he clenched his fist.

"Sigh, I guess playtime's over," Leonard muttered.

The look on Leonard's face wasn't pleasant as the plans he had for the future of World Academy had failed.

"It's so cold here," One of the students standing in the lines spoke out.

As this was the outer sector of World Academy, the temperature wasn't controlled with the runic barriers placed over the Inner Sector.

"Repeat the Oath after you drop your blood here," Professor Arman said as Blake stepped forward.

Blake materialized his aura and made a small cut on his finger, as he dropped his blood on glass like ball that started glowing with many runes on it.

Mana Oath was Runic Magic, that bounded the person to the words and would trigger when the promise of the oath was broken.

It didn't stop the person from breaking the oath itself, but if someone broke it, it would trigger the runes and it would alert the party that did the mana oath.

"Use your mana and repeat those words," Arman said as Blake nodded.

Blake was the first person in his line, and behind him were a few rankers of the Third Year and other high ranking students.

Without someone mentioning, the line formed were made in the order of the ranking of the students as no one wanted to create trouble with higher ranking students.

"I will not harm others outside of my own trial, and would not attack another with intent of injuring them seriously," Blake repeated the words.

The light on the marble started shining, as the runes started reacting to Blake's mana and they got absorbed into his body where his mana heart was present.

Blake could feel a chain like presence on his mana heart that wasn't exactly pleasing, but it didn't felt restricting nor did it weakened him.

"You can go up the staircase but don't enter the temple yet," Arman told Blake as he removed his hand from the mana oath device and went above the staircase.

Slowly, students started going towards the temple and the anticipation of what lied ahead for them started to grew more.

Trials Ground was an opportunity they would never get in their life a second time, as a person could enter only one time.

As the gateway would reject all that had entered the Trials Ground once.

"Can't we go there?" Livia asked looking Amelia.

Amelia shook her head, making Livia a bit dejected as she was eager to learn what lied beyond the big staircase and inside that temple like building.

"You are truly unique not being alerted by the amount of mana inside there," Damian said as Livia and Lucas got confused.

"It's not really scary though," Livia said.

"What? You don't feel alerted by that amount of mana," Damian got surprised.

"It's the same for me," Amelia said.

Some of the students on the way to the temple started whispering as they noticed Alyssa who was floating towards the Temple.

Because of her use of gravity magic, it was hard not gather the attention of other students and the reaction she got weren't pleasant.

As Alyssa was going up the stairs, suddenly the girl that was on her side tripped on her foot, and fell towards Alyssa.

Thud!

She barely clung on Alyssa's uniform while maintaining her balance.

"My bad," The girl turned towards Alyssa and spoke.

Alyssa who was wearing a half mask, looked at her.

The girl's expression showed that she recognized Alyssa as her expression turned ugly as soon as she saw who she fell on.

She was wearing a uniform that didn't belonged to the World Academy.

"Kella, are you fine?" A friend of her came for her.

"Did she do anything to you?" Her friend hurriedly asked.

"Oh, no, I just tripped my bad," Kella said as she removed her hand from Alyssa's shoulders.

Alyssa didn't wanted to bother with them as she was gathering more attention, and went on her way.

Soon Alyssa along with the other students arrived at the temple where other students wearing the White Uniforms of the World Academy were standing proudly at large room with a massive gate in front of them.

And there they saw a single man floating in the air, and it was none other than Farnus Calmort, who was touching the gate with his hand.

It wasn't just Farnus who gathered the attention of the students, to the side they saw multiple barrier forming around a strange plant like thing.

"Is that the SSS Rank Artifact?"

"So this is what it looks like,"

"Woah, I wonder how it would look when its used,"

Right now, the mana density of the whole island had returned to normal as the artifact had reached its limit and it needed time till it could be used again.

The lightning around Farnus was rampant but it was all concentrated on the Gate, it was like Farnus was forcing his energy into the Gateway.

Crackle!

Thump!

Thump!

The whole temple started shaking as runic formations started appearing all around the temple, andthe sky above it.

"No matter how many times I see them, it's fascinating," Professor Neyman said as he witnessed the runic spells.

These runic formations weren't normal, it was something nobody could comprehend and could understand much like the Trials Ground itself.

Farnus removed his hand and floated down and looked behind him where more than 1000 students were gathered.

"Welcome Students, this is the gateway that will take you inside the Trials Ground," Farnus spoke as the lightning around him disappeared.
