Chapter 49 Entrance Ceremony 2 (1/2)

The cheerful deep voice sounded like a man.

”Hehe. Nice fall.”

The mysterious man laughed heartily.

”This is new. No one usually uses the stairs nowadays. So it's quite alarming that there would be someone here.”

The man continued to speak as he hid by the branches. Inna wanted to speak as well but he beat her to it.

”Yea, no one usually goes here. That's why this is my hiding place! The other students would usually buy those low grade teleportation scrolls at the market. They're pretty cheap you know! About 1 silver coin each. Some even just cast their own low grade teleportation. Well, given that they are strong enough.” The man chuckled.

Then, he continued his one-sided conversation as he talked about the weather and the leaves. Meanwhile, Inna was still hung up on his words.

'No one uses the stairs.'

'No one goes here.'

'Buy teleportation scrolls at the market.'

Inna was actually surprised at the fact that she can actually get so angry to the point that murder seemed so logical and reasonable in her eyes.

”THAT DAMNED OLD MAN! HE ACTUALLY MADE ME CLIMB FOR NOTHING?! I SWEAR TO GOD I'M GOING TO PULL ON THAT FACE OF HIS UNTIL HE BECOMES A BULLDOG! OLD GEEZER! I HOPE YOU AGE FASTER!”

Inna started screamed various curses at the top of her lungs which startled the man greatly. He stopped his monologue and decided to watch her instead.

He was actually amazed at the words she was spouting.

About 80% of them, he didn't even know the meaning of!

And that's really surprising because he prided himself as one of the most outstanding and well-educated nobles among Anemoly. He was even able to read almost all the books in the Royal Library!

Inna didn't notice his curious gaze as she slowly finished up her ranting.

She breathed deeply to calm herself before she walked towards the white arched pillars found near the end of the staircase. Back when she was at the town, it looked small. But now, standing before it, it was actually really tall, probably about 10 meters in height.

The lone arched pillar's design reminded her of those ancient Greek pillars except that this pillar had different carvings on it. This arched pillar had ancient Eridoan writings in its body and some Latin symbols as well. And at the arch, there were letter carvings that formed the word ”Eldora Academy.” And below it were Latin words that sounded like a familiar slogan in her time.

”Scientia Potentia Est.”

Science? Is power? Or maybe something similar to that.

Behind the pillar was a small inconspicuous house that struck her as odd, but she chose not to comment on it. She didn't really fully understand the ways of this world yet.

Maybe there's a teleportation spot there or something?
