The next day, Aceia came prepared and ready where he wanted senior Lee to come. He said goodbye to the people at home and asked them to respect his decision. Even though his mother was reluctant to do so, his mother inadvertently approved her sister Yuri's brother when she explained to her that he would not reverse her decision.
They had a little phone call with Martin and wished each other success in their future lives.
He looked pretty nervous waiting for the body language. There was no one in the area he was waiting for except Aceia.
He wondered if they were buying everyone from a different place, Aceia.
"You've come."
As a sudden sound sprang from behind him, he was relieved to see Senior Lee's face.
"Of course, Senior. Haven't we agreed to that?" So, Aceia.
And he couldn't help thinking that if I hadn't kept my promise to you, you could have caused me trouble.
"Many people break the promise to get rid of us and enroll quickly in other academies. As a result, we only managed to get one student."
Aceia deserved other people from within. Not everyone could have had the courage to enter this academy.
He was also informed by what Senior Lee said as to why this area was empty.
So this year, he thought, "I'm the only one who chose to attend Vuxena Academy from this school."
"There's no need to dawdle so much. Let's go."
Since he was afraid that Senior Lee Aceia would escape, he wanted to get things done fast.
Senior Lee advanced slowly, and after making some hand seals, he cried out and cracked the floor, creating a hole.
Aceia was admiring what happened. He had an idea of the major teleportation portals, but a hand-sealed portal had never been seen before.
The portals Aceia knew were those activated by energy stones. These portals were either powerful portals from a very old time or modern short-range portals by forgers.
Activating portals from ancient times was incredibly expensive and dangerous to use.
Because the secrets of making the portals were not yet available.
What Senior Lee did was total uncertainty for Aceia.
Aceia is a curious child, and that made it very difficult for her to keep his mouth shut.
"Senior Lee, I have never seen a portal open like this. Can you give us some information?"
Senior Lee looked over this young man, looking at him with glowing eyes.
His lips curled up, and he simplified the situation and started to explain it to this curious little one.
"The history of Vuxena Academy goes back a long way, long way. The magic of ancient times is not matched by the magic of modern times. The Vuxena Academy has always adhered to the ideals of old times and wanted to continue living the thought that the strong one had to crush the weak."
"But with new approaches modernising, it has become difficult for the Vuxena Academy to hold on. For this reason, many years ago, leading figures from around the world and the leaders of Vuxena Academy sat down to negotiate a deal."
"According to this agreement, the Vuxena Academy could no longer continue to teach on this territory. They had to move the Academy away from the Earth. But the world's leading constituents decided to make them an offer because they were afraid the academy would accept this offer."
"This was an offer to allow the Academy to accept students from the world. The Academy has already accepted this offer because it understands that they are not welcome here. Then an old veteran of my lineage moved the academy to another place using space-time magic that had long gone missing."
"To answer the question, I possess the spatial and time magic, which is now believed to be lost because I was of the same lineage as this elder. This is child's play for me."
Aceia was listening to his seniors talk with his wide open eyes. He could have been an incompetent and naive boy, but he was never a stupid person. He did not find it very reasonable for the seniority to leave so many questions to the bottom of such narratives.
"Aceia, I'm afraid once I know all this, I can't let you back down."
Senior Lee was looking at Aceia with a slight smile. It was like he was measuring his reaction.
"I was trying to figure out why you're uploading so much information all at once. To cut off my escape route. Anyway, I had no such idea." said Aceia.
Senior Lee didn't expect Aceia to say those words with an innocent smile. He was still trying to figure out if this kid was trying to be a fool or a genius. Maybe he was too instinctive.
While I was explaining the situation to Senior Lee Aceia, the portal was already finished.
"Follow me."
He gave a simple order and stepped into the portal without looking back. Seeing that he had disappeared so suddenly, Aceia quickly went after him and jumped into the portal.
His vision darkened for a few seconds, and then the light entering his eyes dwarfed him slightly. When he got his vision back, he saw that he was in a place like heaven. There was a huge plain in front of him.
Waterfalls, mountains infested by flowers, rivers, and a clean atmosphere.
"After all I've heard about the academy, I've been expecting it pretty badly."
Aceia expressed her honest thoughts. Indeed, this was a hell of an area, just as it was in heaven. he felt pretty shocked.
"Do you remember the deal I mentioned? We were allowed to take students from the world. But no one said they had to speak well about us. There are true, but unnecessary, exaggerations that we are governed by the laws of the forest."
Senior Lee made a plain statement to fill the voids in Aceia's head
The moment Aceia found out that Senior Lee was moving away from him, he immediately stopped looking around and ran to catch up. He was a little overly enchanted by the environment.
"When I spoke to my senior family and friend, they didn't tell me we were going to another dimension."
Aceia was thinking about it for a while. When he spoke to those close to him, they were just saying that the academy is a bad place. They never said they were going anywhere else.
"Only we and they know the deal. We have a representative building and space on Earth to keep from learning. That place is managed by our people. Their only job is to give them an Academy image and they are very good at it. It's a death sentence for both sides to talk about it outside. That's why I told you about it."
Aceia reflected deeply on the background of the senior walking in front of him. He really thought he had a right to insist on entering this school or he would die.
Also, the fact that Senior Lee speaks of death so easily has given him a distress. He knew that the academy was a place of harsh and death, but still, speaking as though it were nothing, it frightened him.
"Where are we now?"
Seeing that Senior Lee was very patiently answering his questions, Aceia decided that it would be good to at least have some idea about the Academy. So, he was inadvertently asking the questions in his head.
Senior Lee answered with the same patience.
"Would you believe me if I said nowhere? A special area with a very strong space-time technique that has been bent."
Aceia would probably not believe that there would be such powerful magic in the universe. He felt his horizons widening right now. Maybe this academy isn't as bad a place as Senior Lee says it is.
Even though it was bad, Aceia was very happy to know what he had learned.
He thought, "Man, that's cool."
They made their way for a while with Aceia's questions and Senior Lee's answers, and eventually they stopped moving when Senior Lee suddenly stopped.
Senior Lee raised his hand and held it out to the field in front of him. Aceia was watching carefully while trying to figure out what he was trying to do.
Senior Lee suddenly turned his hand and, after quickly making several seals, he hit the space in front of him. Where the hand struck, an invisible area fluttered and another door opened slowly.
Aceia watched this scene with astonishment. Invisible door? What more will my eyes see? He thought.
After the door opened, Senior Lee came in and told Aceia to follow him again.
Aceia, like the first one, walked in through the door, but it was as blurred in sight. It was like the entrance to a hotel on a Earth that first entered the field of view. It looked quite modern and luxurious.
"We will do the registration here."
Aceia nodded slightly, and went after Senior Lee, doing what he was best at doing again. Senior Lee brought him to a female attendant.
"I'm here for the registration of Aceia Aka, the student whom I provided information about previously." The woman briefly explained to the officer.
"Sir, we had already processed the registration as soon as you provided the information for the registration. All that remains is to stamp your body." The officer described the situation with a courteous statement.
When Aceia heard that even the people here called him 'Sir', he thought that Senior Lee was supposed to be an important person in the academy.
But what was the stamp? Oh, they must be tattooing my body. I always wanted to get one, and he thought it was really cool.
Senior Lee was hurting the boy who seemed excited over his shoulder. Every child came in with the same reaction, but none of them could find what they expected.
"It saved us a great deal of burden. I want to get the stigma done right away. Build the altar."
Senior Lee didn't want any further registration, and he wanted to handle it right away. He knew that he was actually quite patient, but he felt quite warm about this child, and he wanted the pain to go away already.
"Roger that."
The woman attendant nodded slightly and left to prepare the altar.
And Aceia grinned to himself, thinking about the tattoo.
"Why exactly are they tattooing students?"
Aceia absolutely loved the idea of getting a tattoo, but it was hard to tell why an Academy would want a tattoo.
"We are a private Academy. Although our students seem to be incompetent, we find them worth training for. All we want in return is loyalty. Therefore, every student has a stamp. With these stamps, we can always keep you safe by knowing where you are, and when we are on the Earth, we show people where you came from."
Aceia had to admit it was a pretty good idea. He was satisfied that this academy, which had few students and continues to decline, had fallen on his pupils. He was doing it to empower them even though he was facing death. Even a fool could say they didn't take students to kill.
"Why is the tattoo being made at the altar?"
"You'll see in a moment."
Senior Lee thought he was tired of my questions now, Aceia. He agreed with him about it, so he asked a lot of questions today. It could be said that a man like Senior Lee does not like to talk much. And yet he put up with Aceia quite a lot.
After a long silent wait, the departing woman officer returned.
"The altar is ready, sir. Please follow."
As the altar was being prepared, Aceia happily followed Senior Lee and the woman officer down, unaware that it would happen to him.
