Leaving the woman alone after helping her, Pino went to Coasthaven Academy, he had delayed his trip long enough for just a few minor problems. Pino sees an awful lot of young people walking in the same direction as him.
"They all look strong, are they going to get into Coasthaven Academy as well? I started looking forward to how my life was there, they weren't ordinary young men or young people. The flow of which they are not weak, some of them also carry unorthodox weapons, weapons that are fascinating," pino said when he saw a group of young people walking in the same direction as him, and they carried different weapons, they also had an unlike appearance.
Some were followed by a bodyguard, some were alone. They're all unpredictable, Pino walks casually and carries the gear he needs. After walking long enough and passing through several places, Pino finally reached a gate in the middle of the city.
The gate is large and majestic with a protective wall that stretches far enough. There are some soldiers standing guard in front of the gate. Not only the soldiers who were in front of the gate, but there were some people who looked like a teacher and a student who were outside the gate. It may sound strange because there is a gate and a protective wall in a city that has been protected as well, but that's what happened. These walls and gates are the front area of Coasthaven Academy, with a structure like this, Coasthaven Academy can already be called a fortress.
Pino hasn't ventured into the deep or main areas yet, but he can already sense that Coasthaven Academy must be big and not simple. He saw the youngsters lined up neatly and carrying a token-shaped ID, Pino followed them, and he was in the row. He didn't ask at all why he should be in this kind of position, but he believed that what they were doing had a good reason, so he followed suit.
After queuing for a short time, Pino came forward and it was his turn to be examined. He saw soldiers guarding and protecting a middle-aged man sitting and noticed a certain note. Pino gives a token that he has to a middle-aged man without asking or answering the middle-aged man's words.
"Ariya Pino, 17 years old, rookie magician, element of darkness. Good... all this information is correct, you can enter the academy," said the man after checking the token given by Pino. The token itself is a token containing information about Pino, and that information is quite accurate and full.
"Yes, thank you. There's nothing else, then I'm going to go inside," Pino replied, still waiting in his position for a while if the middle-aged man was going to ask or have a need with him.
Pino enters and passes through a pretty magnificent gate with a lion's head-shaped carving, he enters the academy area after not getting any questions from the middle-aged man in front. He observed the pattern on the gate and it looked like it was emitting power.
As soon as he walked into Coasthaven Academy, the first thing he saw was a large field with a pretty garden and a fountain with a human-shaped statue holding a book and brandishing a sword. Pino was hypnotized by the shape of the statue, and he fell silent in his position for a long time.
"Who is he? Does this statue symbolize a person or is it just a work of art? Very impressive, a man of authority and toughness, carrying a book and a sword, a fiery stare, and a strong stature. The figure of this statue must be very strong and admired," pino said when he saw the statue in the middle of the park. He really admired her and all her attention was sucked to that point without her being able to divert it again.
"Your eyes are so good, you can see a charm that is well hidden. You're definitely not from this place, you can't recognize it. It's not just a statue, it's a form of appreciation for someone," said a man who out of nowhere appeared, the man approaching Pino while saying it.
"Maybe, I don't know either. When I saw the statue for the first time, I felt so safe and comfortable, as if it had given me an invisible force. The more I noticed it the more I felt if this statue was a masterpiece," pino said, he did not know the man, but he still answered his question because he did feel it.
"That figure... He was a famous warrior, not only physically strong and powerful in using weapons, especially swords, this man... He's a intermediate magician. His name will always be remembered by those who knew him, he saved this city from great danger. No man deserves to be immortalized in this form unless he is one. Maybe now, he is not very well known, but he is still a hero and this figure is Bell Dalton," said the man, he told who the figure of the statue that amazed Pino.
"Bell Dalton? I've never heard of it, but given the appreciation from the city and even the academy itself, I'm sure this man must have done something unusual. It's not easy to notice what's around here, I guess this statue is just an ordinary statue, it turns out he has his own story," pino said, he didn't know much about the statue and who it was Bell Dalton, but after he heard back his heroic story from the man, he began to understand.
"Oh... you know, I'm not I haven't introduced myself and it's fun to tell you about Bell Dalton, you must be a new student, just like me. I'm Derek Aldmin, a new student, just like you. I'm sorry that I talked a lot and told me the story of Bell Dalton," said Derek, the man who told Pino about the statue in the middle of the park.
"It's okay, I'm quite interested in your story. The story of Bell Dalton's heroism that saves the city from the attack of hordes of monsters, although in the end he must die at the hands of humans instead of fighting monsters. We're both new students, I'm Ariya Pino, you can call me Pino. Oh... For his own exam room, do you know where?" asked Pino, introducing himself and asking Derek for help. He doesn't know where the exam room is that the man at the gate was told.
"I know that, you just follow me. I'll be there, too," Derek replied. Quickly they both immediately went through the park and rushed to the exam room.
