Chapter 75 Towards Destras magic academy 4 (2/2)

”neat”

Mars and Victoria walked of to the side and waited for the rest of the group that soon got into the city, the carriages also soon passed the inspection and drove in the gate, Mars walked up to Hanna and asked

”what now?”

”now we head to the academy and get you registered, unless you need to do something first?”

”hmm...”

Mars stoked his chin and remembered something

”can you show me the way to the temple?”

”the temple? sure it's on the way to the academy anyway”

with Hanna leading the way Mars, Hanna and Victoria walked through the city's busy streets

”wait where did the others go?”

”they went ahead to the academy”

”oh, okay”

as Mars followed after Hanna he looked around the streets and at the people going on with their lives

'almost half seem to be students... it really is the academy city'

most of the people on the streets whore a mantel like the one Hanna and Ivan was wearing while they walked around, after walking for about 10 minutes Hanna stopped in front of a temple like building with a bell tower

”here it is”

”ho~ this certainly looks more like a temple in Malrton”

Mars admired the building that looked like it was made of smoothed marble bricks before he walked into the building

'this really feels like a temple...'

the inside of the temple was lit by candles and sparsely decorated, there was also a counter with a priest like person standing behind it

”hello can I help you two?”

Mars walked up to the counter and looked at the priest that carried a businesses smile on his calm face

”yes, is there any prayer room available?”

”certainly right this way”

Hanna sat down in a waiting room and gave Mars a wave as he and Victoria followed after the priest further into the temple

”oh right... could you take me to a prayer room with the best avatar?”

”the best avatar?”

the priest stopped and look at Mars with a funny face, right until Mars pulled out his necklace of the apostle and showed it to the priest

”A-Apostle!? right this way please”

Mars followed after the slightly panicked priest and soon arrived at a door deep into the temple

”right though this door is the best prayer room, please take your time”

”thanks”

Mars opened the door and walked into the prayer room before he looked around

'...this seem high class'

the prayer room was decorated with complex gold engravings on the marble walls, in the middle of the room was a clear crystal ball that floated mid air and behind it was a altar wade mostly of gold where a doll the size of a 10 year old child lay, the doll was wearing a nun habit lined with gold tread and decorated with gemstones of various sizes

”yep this sure is high class, I wonder who uses this room normally..? maybe royalty?”

Mars walked up to the crystal ball and laid his hand on it, the room shock slightly when he touched the crystal ball much like a computer waking up

[SUBJECT #5 CONFIRMED REQUEST DESCEND?]

”yes please”

[ACTIVATING ISOLATION BARRIER... COMPLETE, SENDING REQUEST... REQUEST APPROVED, SUBJECT: INFORMATION BEGINNING DESCEND...]

Mars took a step back as a formless pressure descended from the heavens into the avatar a few seconds later the avatar shock slightly before floating up into the air, standing upright in the air the eyes of the avatar fluttered slightly before opening showing eyes that was as bright as stars, feeling even more pressure Mars grabbed the hilt of his sword and watched the holy avatar that preceded to put on a unladylike face before shuddering slightly

”ahh~ that's the stuff~”

”...Info?”

”sorry Mars give me second~”

”okay?”

Info closed her eyes and floated back down on the ground and after half a minute she opened her eyes again

”are you okay Info?”

”yeah I'm fine”

”...what was that about?”

”that..? oh it was just the feeling of a high class avatar that caught me off guard”

”I see...”

Info waved her hand and a table with 3 chairs appeared in the room

”please take a seat”

”thanks”

Mars walked over and sat down before he pulled the other chair closer and patted his thigh

”Victoria”

Victoria quickly jumped up on the chair and nestled into Mars lap before she began purring

”now, first of congratulations are in order”

”congratulations?”

”for reaching level 20, let me give you a gift to celebrate”

”a gift?”
