23 A busy day at the Academy (1/2)
”Your Qi is too strong and would require a very strong seal to contain it. Normal means used to break other seals wouldn't be sufficient to break yours. And just as I suspected, it was surely a tough task to break your seals. The stronger your seal, the more pain you receive. It took a lot of Qi from my side to break your seals and that just goes to show how exceptional your Qi is.” Edgard sipped on some juice as he sat down while explaining the stuff to the seven.
”So, what's the procedure to break the seals on normal people?” Aiko asked with a curious face which was also filled with envy towards others who don't need to go through that horrible experience.
”All the professors here are either top elementors or Knights, they won't break a sweat to crack a seal. The professors only need to chant in one of the many rooms similar to the one we were in right now. It won't be that painful for the rest, they will only feel as if someone hit their head in a friendly manner.”
”Well, lucky them I guess.” Sai said casually as he got up from his seat to stretch out a bit.
”So, what next, Headmaster?” Leo got up from the sofa and faced Edgard as he inquired their next step.
'Snap!'
Edgard snapped his fingers immediately after which the door to Edgard's office opened and a woman walked up to the group of seven.
”This is my daughter Riana Felix, a professor in this academy and also a Knight. Riana hand the student accessories.”
Riana was in her 30's with brown hair and black eyes just like her father, Edgard. She raised her palm into mid air and in an instant, seven sets of accessories flashed out of nowhere before the group and were waiting to be picked up by them as they floated in mid air. Each set had a blue gem, a book and a card.
”The blue gem is called a Templar, a Qi powered gem which connects all the students in the academy via the Qi towers and has a map of our kingdom as well as the academy. And is also your identity proof. To activate the gem, you need to pour in a very small amount of Qi in it. The book contains all the school rules and restrictions as well as a few important warnings. Finally, the card is the key to your dorm rooms. Any questions?” Riana sounded like a strict and workaholic woman as she explained the set of accessories before the seven.
”Umm, yes, I have a question. How many students per room?” Reeva asked as she lifted her arm trying to grab the attention of Riana.
”Three for the girl's dorms and two for the boys.”
”Why the difference?” Erina asked as she tilted her head slightly with a question mark face.
”I will answer that question. From my previous experience, I understood that it is always better to allow the least no. of boys per room after witnessing how unhygienic they keep their rooms.” Edgard said with a serious and pissed of face, after remembering some bad memories.
”I alotted you three girls, the same room. While I split you four into two pairs and alotted two different and opposite rooms. Any more questions?” Riana looked at the seven who shook their heads.
”Follow me then.” Riana led the seven out of the room after they bowed to the headmaster. The seven were led into one of the spacious halls in the academy which was more like a P.E hall in the schools back on the Earth.
