Chapter 140 - The Color (1/2)

Evan decided that asking for the full access to the library would be a good reward. That way he would gain a tremendous amount of knowledge and not have to wait for permission to visit certain sections. What's more, he'll save a certain amount of ”Moon Coins”.

”So, Evan, shall we go straight to the head of the Academy then?” Draven asked.

The young man nodded. He wanted to get his hard-earned reward, and Evan was curious to know more about the Academy itself. Apart from the two arenas and this room, he had not seen anything yet.

Click.

Evan and Draven left the room and went towards Arabella's office. In fact, Evan wasn't allowed to leave his room since he wasn't officially a student at the Academy yet. But, he was with Draven, so there shouldn't be any problems.

<Hmm, just like Sana said all students wear different mantles depending on their Class.> Evan thought as he looked at the students passing by them.

Each one of them stopped and greeted Draven respectfully. After all, he was a teacher of the fourth rank, only Arabella was above him. The students looked at Evan in amazement, they had never seen Draven walk with any of the students before.

<It looks like I will have to say goodbye to my coat.> Evan thought as he looked at his favorite coat. He's an Amplifier, which meant he would have to wear a yellow mantle. He didn't like that at all, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Whoosh.

Suddenly a girl came out from around the corner, her purple hair blending well with the blue mantle.

”Teacher Draven!” The girl said loudly and bowed immediately.

Draven nodded and continued walking on, but Evan stayed where he was.

”Sana?” The young man said in surprise. He hadn't expected to meet her here. As the girl had said before, she wore a blue mantle since she was a ”Creator.” She also had a small purple emblem hanging on her chest showing the color of her ”Warp”.

”Evan?” The girl flinched in surprise. She knew Evan would be entering the Academy, but she hadn't expected to see him so soon. Evan and the other newly admitted students had to wait for the ceremony before they could walk around the Academy.

”Sana, why is your mantle different from the others?” Suddenly Evan asked. He didn't have time to talk to Sana now, but he couldn't help but ask the question.

”Аh? What do you mean?” The girl said puzzled.

”I mean this.” Evan replied calmly and pointed to the black frame of her blue mantle. In the other students he had met so far, he hadn't seen anything like that.

”Don't you know? Oh, right, sorry, I`ve forgotten to tell you. It is a distinctive feature of the mantle that shows the type of the student. The ”Outer students” have a white frame, the ”Inner students” have a black frame.” Sana answered quickly.

”I see. See you later.” Evan said briefly and followed Draven.

The girl wanted to say something, but Evan was already far away. Sana decided not to bother him, she was puzzled to see Evan walking next to Draven.

”Hmm, do you know her?” Draven asked.

”Yes, I met her on my way to the Academy, as I recall she was collecting Azure Dandelions.” Evan replied calmly.

Draven nodded and continued on his way.

As they walked Evan looked carefully at the other students. To his surprise there were very few people in black-framed mantles. It was no surprise, though, as becoming an ”Inner student” was a very difficult task.

”Draven, what exactly is the difference between ”Inner students” and ”Outer students”? Evan asked.

He understood that the ”Inner students” had their advantages and perks, but he didn't know what they were. No one had told him that.

Draven looked at Evan in surprise and said: ”You've worked so hard to become an ”Inner student”, and yet you know nothing about them? I'll explain it to you now.”
