Chereads / I’m the Strongest Dungeon’s Master / Chapter 20 - First Day at the Dungeon Hunters Academy (Part 1)

Chapter 20 - First Day at the Dungeon Hunters Academy (Part 1)

Sora knew that something was going to happen on his birthday. He wasn't superstitious like Ma'am Diana. However, he proved to be right after the message that he received and the sudden stopping of everyone who had already activated the System.

Sora supposed that hunters and adventurers got a message too.

He began quickly to think of a way to get into the dungeon before the event ended or before he was caught by the hunter that identified him.

Sora also caught the change of expression in his older siblings and understood they knew something.

Immediately, after receiving the message, Rose, Finn, Heller, and Jin were contacted by their guild to have an emergency reunion.

They didn't want to leave but they had and after giving their farewells they leave quickly.

"Well, I think it's my job now to take you to the Academy. Tomorrow we will leave, be prepared," Kaneki told him quietly.

The rest of the kids began to clean up everything, and Viktor gave his farewell and ended the transmission. Sora was told by Dolores to leave first and prepare the belongings he was going to take to the Academy.

Sora began to pack his belongings when he saw the gifts that his siblings gave him before. Even Viktor's gift was there. He decided to keep them inside his inventory.

After finishing, Sora looked one last time at his room and closed the door.

*********

Dolores and Charly left first because they had training and couldn't be late.

Kaneki was waiting at the door next to a black car.

He looked at the stairs and saw Sora wearing black clothes that made a perfect contrast with his white skin. Kaneki blushed again, but he wasn't the only one. Two ladies that were walking close to them also looked at the pretty boy that was leaving the orphanage and they blushed.

Sora was still a little young man, but with his appearance, people could already tell that once he was older, he was going to be an extremely handsome man. To bad that no one will appreciate that sight for some years.

Sora looked at the blushing Kaneki, who coughed.

"Aham... Let's go, Teacher Debris will be waiting for us," Kaneki got into the car and Sora followed him behind.

The trip was made in silence. Kaneki didn't know how to start a conversation with the now known quiet and cold Sora. He remembered when they were younger how easy was for Sora to talk to everyone, obviously, after someone had started a conversation with him.

On the other hand, Sora began to construct the dungeon where the shadows and night creatures will be living.

After leveling up, Sora found that he unlocked the Master's Tower.

🐾🐾🐾

Sora read everything about this new dungeon and a slight smile appear on his face.

He quickly began to look at the [Shop] to see what he can buy to make the first four floors comfortable enough for the shadows and night creatures.

🐾🐾🐾

[Shop]

- {Skills}

- {Clothes}

- {Equipment (Locked)}

- {Furniture}

- {Decorations}

- {Traps}

- {Consumables (Locked)}

- {Entertainment (Locked)}

🐾🐾🐾

The moment he was going to open the {Furniture} window, he heard someone calling him.

"Sora! Stop looking at your info window, whatever you are seeing on it will be explained by the teachers," Kaneki told him, "Also, we have arrived so let's go."

Sora was surprised by the sudden interruption of Kaneki.

"Sora...?" Kaneki called him again, but this time his voice sounded worried.

"I'm fine, I was just a bit distracted," finally Kaneki's words were processed in his mind. The first words make him laughed inwardly, but the next ones left him thinking that he was too distracted that he didn't notice when the car came to a stop.

He quickly took his backpack with his scarce belongings and followed Kaneki quickly. Sora was stunned to see that Kaneki was faster than him which let him thinking the reason behind it. His best guess was that Kaneki was using a skill, or he was using some special equipment.

He looked at the gates in front of him.

They were tall and the front was conformed by gardens and at the center was the main building where a big letters read: "Dungeon Hunters Academy". The building seemed like the ones in ancient Rome with some modern designs that keep it with the times. They went up the stairs in front of the main building, and after coming inside, Sora was impressed with the decorations.

One could tell that hunters definitely make a lot of money. The floor was made of Marmol like the walls. There were holograms and screens with a lot of information, which Sora suspected to be related to the students. He continued admiring the main hall while he waited for Kaneki to call him.

Kaneki was happy with the sudden change in attitude that the place gave to Sora. That way he could remember that he was still a 13-year-old kid.

Ping!

🐾🐾🐾

You've entered a Hunters' domain!

^^^^^^

You've are being observed by many hunters and apprentices, be careful Dungeon Master!

🐾🐾🐾

It was a surprise to have a message coming from the System after the last news it gave him, but now, Sora began to think if it was a good idea to go to the academy instead of trying to go directly to the portal. However, he remembered that he was likely going to be stopped before he could try something.

"Sora! Come here!" Kaneki called him after registering him with the secretary.

The woman looked at Sora and without any change in her expression, she pointed at a door and then returned to her work.

Sora looked at Kaneki, who seemed to understand what the secretary was telling them. Kaneki began to walk in that direction in silence and Sora followed behind.

After some turns and walking for something that felt like an hour, they finally arrived at a door where Kaneki stopped.

"They are going to check your status, just followed the instructions they give you," Kaneki seemed a bit troubled but couldn't do anything.

Sora obviously noticed his strange behavior, but simply nodded and gave him his backpack.

"Once it has ended and everything went alright, Your backpack will be waiting in your new room. Remember that you might share with another boy. Gook luck!" Kaneki took his backpack and said some words.

Sora opened the door in silence and after coming in, the door closed by itself and he found himself in a completely white room.

"Get in the center of the room!" a loud robotic... male?... voice said.

Sora was going to ask how he would know that he was at the center when a light in a circumference appeared some steps ahead of him. It was obvious that that was the center of the room.

With calm and in silence, Sora stood inside the circle and waited for the next instructions.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared surrounding him completely.

Ping!

🐾🐾🐾

You are being attacked by a holy skill!

^^^^^^

You are being purified!

^^^^^^

-1 HP

-1 HP

-1 HP

-1 HP

-1 HP

^^^^^^

The attack has ended!

🐾🐾🐾

Sora felt how the light began to fade and he opened slowly his eyes, he quickly saw the messages that the System sent him. He was stunned that the holy skill did him some damage. He was curious to know the reason, but something was telling him to not react in any way.

Behind one of the walls that, was actually a well-hidden window, ten people were looking in silence at the reaction between the holy light skill and Sora's body.

They whispered some words between them and finally arrived at a conclusion.

The reason behind the process was that information about a young boy with black hair was seen with a vampire three years ago, so the high commands asked the Academy to conduct during the next five years a special examination with any boy with black hair.

Holy Skills were the best to identify monsters.

Sora waited for some minutes and when he was getting bored the same voice sounded again.

"Place your hand on the sphere and wait for the next instructions."

A small crystal sphere appeared in front of him. Sora was still a stranger to magic devices, but he could guess that that little thing will be his savior or his killer. After inhaling and exhaling air he put calmy his white pearl hand on the surface of the sphere. It was smooth and cold at the touch.

Suddenly, some light began to be irradiated by the sphere but less strong than the first one. Quickly a screen appeared above his head and the information of his status was shown to everyone.

Sora smiled slightly after seeing that the status that appear was the fake one.

🐾🐾🐾

The people behind the window saw the same, but one of them saw for a moment that the screen change and noticed a particular thing, a title stating "The Master".

"He doesn't have an occupation, that's strange. After completing the B Rank dungeon, the System was updated again giving now specific occupations to the kids base on their aptitude..." one of the teachers said with some alarm in her voice.

"Maybe the System didn't find an aptitude in this kid..." a male voice said mockingly but was interrupted by another female voice.

"Or simply he is to decide which one he wants to follow because he has the aptitude for any occupation," that teacher said coolly and a big smile appeared on her beautiful face. Her intentions were obvious, she wanted that kid to be her student.

However, her hopes were completely stepped on by the man that noticed the abnormality with Sora's status window.

"I'll have that kid as my apprentice, no discussions," the man said with his calm and grave voice.

"So, let's end the examination," a young man said and approach the microphone that was in front of him.

Sora was again getting bored.

"You've successfully ended the examination. You are in Class A and you have been selected to have private classes by one of the instructors. You can go," after those words were said, a door appeared in front of Sora.

Sora knew that that was another door because he never moved during the trial. He bowed his head and left the room.

"He has some manners, or... he noticed us behind the wall," the first words were said out loud by the man, but the rest of his sentence was a soft muttering that no one heard.
