Chapter 241 - A New student

Chapter 241 - A New student

Roland academy was almost like a city within the city. The building was large and grand surrounded by its own walls and there were a total of four entrances each facing a different direction. Each of these had a large gate at least 30 meters high.

And just outside were guards dressed in white robes. No one was allowed to enter unless they were part of the academy. Not even family members of the students were allowed to enter.

But today wasn't a regular day for the second-year students at Roland, for there was a rumour that their soon would be a new student entering their classes.

"Hey did you hear?"

"About what?"

"A new kid is coming into our classes today."

"Ah, yeah the person who got a perfect score on the written magical exam?"

"Yeah all the teachers and professors wouldn't shut up about it, it's never been done before."

"It's strange though, why is he joining in the second year, I thought Roland didn't accept transfers, I thought everyone had to start from the beginning no matter what."

"Well rumours are going around that he had a deadly sickness for the first year but because of his scores there letting him join us for the second year."

"He might be the son of some powerful noble, it best to become friends with him."

The class was full of energy as everyone was excited for the new transfer student that would be coming in. Inside the classroom Max, Slyvia's brother was uninterested in the new student that would be coming in today.

As soon as he learnt it was a boy, he quickly decided to put his head on the desk and fall asleep. It was amazing how he was still able to sleep with all the chatter that was going around him.

But the chatter in the room had almost come to a halt in an instant as a student had entered the room. He was a tall boy with silver long hair that covered his eyes and went up to his shoulders. It was the prince named Van.

As soon as Van entered the class and started to walk over to his seat, the room was deadly silent with a few mumbles of words here and there.

Before Ray was to enter the academy, Lenny decided to catch Ray up on his back story as a new student. The three of them were sat at a table inside the Boar's inn.

"What, you told them I was sick for the first year?" Ray said, "And what's this about a perfect score, I nearly know nothing about magic."

"Well, it was the only thing that made sense," Lenny replied. "And the academy wouldn't accept you without taking a test so I decided to take it for you. Who knew that the test would be so easy that I would get a perfect score."

For some reason, Ray felt like Lenny was bragging about his vast knowledge and it was annoying Ray a little.

"Anyway, once you are in the academy, you will no longer be able to contact us," Lenny said.

Although this wasn't true, Ray nodded like he agreed. After all the system would still allow him to contact with the Red wing's members but Lenny wasn't a part of the group.

"Boss, what would you like me to do?" Jack asked.

"Use this chance to grow stronger, perhaps the best way would be to take quests at the guildhall. Also, it seems like Slyvia is still doing research into the dragon hammer and other weapons similar to it. While I'm at the academy I won't be able to investigate if anything comes up, so make sure to keep in regular contact with her." Ray said.

"And Jack, if something goes wrong, don't hesitate to contact me. I don't want to lose another one."

Inside the Roland academy grounds, Ray was currently getting a tour around the academy from one of the teachers. Ray didn't look like his usual self. On the advice of Lenny, Ray decided to alter his facial appearance slightly and change his hair colour to black.

Although the Red-haired treatment was nice for a change, Lenny was right. He didn't need any more attention from Roland then he had to. After all his main goal was to sneak into the academy and find out where the Divine being was located.

Even though he already knew where to meet the man the Divine being had tasked him to find and hand the crystal over to. He still didn't know why and before doing anything he wanted answers.

"Nes! What are you in such deep thought about?" The teacher asked. "Classes are about to begin soon so we need to hurry."

"Ah yes sorry," Ray replied.

While looking around the academy Ray had found no traces of where the divine being could be. Similar to the red door back at Avrion, it seemed like something was blocking his abilities and not only that. But his dragon eyes skill didn't work throughout the whole academy.

The whole place was like a small city and there were multiple places where they could hide the thing. It looked like the task was going to be harder than Ray originally thought.

Perhaps Ray would have to play the role as a Mage longer then he thought.

"You look like you might be a little nervous." The teacher said smiling at Ray. "A lot of our students here come from prestigious backgrounds and there are some who haven't. Unfortunately, this does cause some friction between our students. But with your background you shouldn't find it hard to fit in."

Ray suddenly felt like there was even more information that Lenny had forgotten to tell him.

"But I do have to say one thing, here if you are talented no matter what you will rise to the top. But many fall into despair at the hardsh.i.p.s in front of them. Unable to become a true magician. What about you Nes, what type of person are you?"

"If I am unable to use magic, then I will use my fist, if I can't use my fists, then I will use my mouth, and if I can't use that then I will use my words to change the world."

"What an interesting young boy." The teacher said as he held out his hand. "Let me be the first to say, welcome to Roland academy."
