Chapter 51: Imperial City

Everyone left the teleportation portal.

Beside Swordmad, Yale, and Heruk, all the others vomited, the sensation of trespassing a teleportation portal wasn’t something easy to support.

To Swordmad that was nothing, and as Heruk was still unconscious, he didn’t feel anything.

Yale didn’t feel well, but his Pain Tolerance also affected that kind of feeling, so he wasn’t in such sorry state as the others.

Wyba was also in a sorry state but Yale used Basic Healing into her, and she restored, Basic Healing could also be used to treat those symptoms.

They had appeared outside the Imperial City after leaving the portal, but they weren’t too far from the entrance, in an hour they should be able to reach the city gates and enter the biggest and most important city of the empire.

People in Nacesai City didn’t know much about the empire; even Yale had only managed to read the empire’s name in one of the uncountable books he had read.

In normal circumstances, the people of such countryside city like Nacesai City would never have anything to do with the empire affairs.

The empire was called Revgen Empire, but Yale didn’t know how many years passed since its creation, very few people knew about that.

Swordmad explained a bit about the Imperial City and the empire to the kids, at least Swordmad wanted that they have some common knowledge about the Imperial City and the empire, it was shameful that most the kids didn’t even know the empire’s name if they were going to the Imperial City.

“In the Imperial City, only those from noble clans or the imperial family can use surnames; ordinary people aren’t allowed to have one. If you dare to use a surname inside the Imperial City, the offense would be paid with your life, so be careful when introducing yourselves.”

Swordmad was explaining necessary things that the kids didn’t know when walking towards the city’s gate, mostly things that could end with their lives if they were careless.

“When meeting anyone with a surname you should bow, that’s a custom and breaking it would also be paid with your life. That applies to the whole empire, but you won’t meet such people in a countryside city like ours.”

In the Imperial City, the family status was extremely important, no matter your talent, without a backing from a noble family you couldn’t speak in equal terms with someone of a noble family.

Of course, the clans recruited geniuses from outside the noble clans and let them use the clan’s surname.

In the past, Swordmad had that chance, but that was something against his personality.

Because joining the clan also implied marrying someone in that clan, even if the marriage was only a formality, Swordmad was loyal to his past love even if she was already dead.

Furthermore, even if joining a noble clan had a lot of benefits, it also gave restrictions to the one who entered, and Swrodmad also disliked that.

Swordmad didn’t explain to the kids that there was a possibility to enter a noble clan because they had no hope at all.

The only ones who had some chances were Heruk and Yale, the first was dead meat in Swordmad’s eyes, and Yale had a similar personality to Swordmad and disliked being restricted in exchange of status.

“You also should remember that here you aren’t geniuses, virtually every kid from the noble clans had better talent than you. You would barely meet the requirements to join an academy in the Imperial City if you have luck, but there’s no way you could pay the inscription fees they required, the Nacesai Academy would need to use half of his fortune to pay for the inscription fee of one student.”

The Nacesai Academy was the wealthiest in Nacesai City; each clan didn’t even have the half of that wealth, the quantity required to try to join an academy from the Imperial City was truly astronomical.

The Nacesai Academy also had fees for testing the candidates to enter the academy, but the price was variable. The strongest clans had to pay more than normal clans, and the commoners without any background could try it for free.

That was because those without background and with a weaker background had more chances of being loyal to the academy after becoming strong.

However, in the Imperial City that didn’t matter, teaching to the noble clans’ kids or the imperial family descendant was an honor to the academies while the ordinary students without background were rather useless to them.

Thus, they only accepted to test those who can pay the fee, to the noble clans and the imperial family that was still cheap.

All the students were in silence after hearing Swordmad’s words; they imagined the Imperial City to be different from the Nacesai City, but not that different.

The noble clans and the imperial family had become objects of fear to all of them.

Of course, Heruk didn’t know anything about that, and if Lor forgot to explain anything, then Heruk might offend some noble clan. Even Heruk’s ancestor wouldn’t be able to do anything as he also couldn’t offend a noble clan.

After all, any noble clan had enough strength to flatten the whole Nacesai City, no clan of such countryside city was worthy of anything in the eyes of the noble clans.

While walking they could see the Imperial City, it had tall buildings and was very different from their own city, it deserved to be the Revgen Empire’s capital.

When the group reached the gate, Swordmad took out an identification token the Mysterious Expert had given to him a few days ago, with that token he could enter into the city with eight kids.

“What about that beast?”

The guard asked while pointing at Wyba who was in Yale’s arms.

“Is a contracted beast. Furthermore, is a beast with a life-bound contract, there’s nothing to worry about.”

The guards had difficulties to believe Swordmad, but as they saw how powerful Swordmad was and the fact he had an official token, they let Wyba enter the city. Contracted beasts could enter the Imperial City with their masters, but the master would take any responsibility for the damages caused by the beast.

After the group entered the city, the kids were about to exclaim in surprised as the Imperial City was extremely beautiful.

“Stop staring at the city and follow me in silence.”

All the students who were about to express their opinions about the Imperial City shut their mouths and followed Swordmad in silence.

Swordmad didn’t like kids; he only liked his disciples, any other kids were annoying to him, so he chose to shut their mouths.

They went to an inn; it was one of the lowest quality inns in the Imperial City but was still better than the most luxurious inn in Nacesai City.

The Mysterious expert had reserved nine rooms for them, so everyone had his own room, the Nacesai Academy wouldn’t have been able to pay that as the prices were extremely high.

“The special realm will be opened in a week; I forbid you to go outside the inn without my permission.”

With those words, Swordmad went towards his room, and everyone did the same. No one dared to disobey Swordmad.

After that, Swordmad went to Yale’s room, and they discussed their plan to end Heruk.

Yale and Swordmad didn’t plan to do anything to him until he entered the special realm.

If he died inside, then there’s no mean to know the reason of his death unless other participants say it.

However, few people would dare to offend Swordmad for the sake of someone dead.

If Yale wasn’t able to finish him inside or Heruk didn’t die due to other factors, Swordmad would kill him once Heruk left the special realm, and the reason will be a poison that infected him in the special realm.

That was their plan, but Swordmad also told Yale that his priority should be obtaining good fortune inside the special realm.

After Swordmad left, Yale prepared for making his breakthrough; the special realm would have dangers, there was no way Yale would believe that it was a marvelous place that could benefit them without any risk.

Thus, the stronger he became, the better.

“The limits on stats and Origin Points increased to 30.”

“Origin Points increased and restored.”

“The user increased the realm; the Dynamic Quest rewards would continue.”

After his breakthrough, Yale’s survival possibilities in the special realm increased a lot.
