Chapter 9: Cant believe my eyes! (1/2)
”Elliot, no matter what other say, do your best on the entrance examination. Your entire future is riding on this.” Charles shouted as the aircraft shoots across the cloudy mid-day sky.
”I will give it my all.” Elliot nodded.
He was never one to give up in the face of taunts and threats.
Thus, he won't step back even if someone wants him to.
”Make your parents proud!”
Elliot blinked his eyes in response and looked upwards to the endlessness, inwardly saying that he won't disappoint them.
The aircraft moved towards the busiest and the wildest place of the city—the central region.
The Magician Academy, established by the Magician Association, was situated in the center of the Hunter Dystopian City, on top of the Emerald Mountain that was made out of green stones.
The aircraft carrying Charles and Elliot took a few turns and dashed out of the sea of clouds before taking a deep plunge and descending at the bottom of the Magician Academy.
”Just show the guard at the gate your identification card, and he'll allow you to enter the academic grounds and direct you to the examination centers.”
”I understand,” Elliot said as he stepped out of the aircraft with his backpack.
”Good luck!” Charles said as he watched him step towards the academy.
Elliot turned around, looked at him, and said, ”Thanks for everything you've done for me.”
”Just doing my job!” Charles replied with an amiable smile.
”See ya later,” Elliot said as he waved his hand at him.
”Goodbye and take care,” Charles said before he went away to carry out his other duties.
After splitting up with Charles, Elliot approached the gates of the academy situated in the center of the summit of the rocky mountain.
”It sure is huge, just like what I saw in the videos,” Elliot said as he looked at the gate in front of him.
The inky, black gate acting as the entrance of the compulsory academy for young magicians stretched around twenty meters across and split down the middle.
Many youngsters around his age were waiting in line in front of the entrance of the academy, with three to five passing through the split in the middle every few seconds.
”The entrance sure is packed with people today.”
Seeing numerous people his age going to take the entrance examination didn't come as a surprise to Elliot. Everyone came here to participate in the entrance examination and enroll in the academy as there are not only many benefits of joining the Magician Academy but a person can only become a full-fledged Magician after graduating from here.
