Like Cernel City, the Asmovius Kingdom's main gate was filled with many visitors. Some were merchants, but most of them were nobles from all over the kingdom.
All the nobles rode in luxurious and large horse-drawn carriages. Alice, Ron, and George even looked at them with expressions of envy and jealousy. The nobles' carriages were much better than their previous one.
After 1 hour of waiting, it was only 4 more carriages before it was their turn. However, a carriage that had just arrived from far away, suddenly took up their queue, as if they had never been there; ignore them completely.
"Hey! Come back and get in line! We got here first." Ron made a complaint.
From the window of the carriage, a figure of a teenage boy aged between 16-17 came out with a disgusted expression. He then took out a silver token from his suit pocket, then said, "I am a prospective student who received a direct recommendation from the Asmovius Kingdom. Don't you feel proud of that? Maybe, in the future, I'll be nice to you, even if you manage to get in." Laughter then came from inside the carriage. That meant that there were several other prospective students there.
Among them, only Alice had the token, but it was only a bronze token. Bronze token was the token of recommendation from the Asmovius Kingdom for prospective students who were about to receive the admissions test. With 2 tests in place, those with bronze tokens will automatically pass the first test. That means they don't have to wait for tens of hours because of the large number of participants who take the first test.
As for those in possession of the silver token, they would automatically become students of the Asmovius Magic and Sword Academy.
Then, Ron had heard rumors that there were 10 selected prospective students who received gold tokens. It was said, with the gold token, they had the right to receive direct instruction from the greatest maguss and swordsman, and had a high chance of becoming 12 Best Warriors Asmovius Kingdom's.
According to the news circulating, 4 of the 12 Best Warriors Asmovius Kingdom's died in the war. With 10 prospective students receiving gold tokens, they are expected to compete to take the 4 vacant seats. Ron, Alice, and George, of course, weren't planning on taking any of the chairs. Their goal was actually just to strengthen their magic to the peak, so as to have enough power to protect their respective families.
Seeing the arrogant noble, Lein decided to back away and gave the three a light nod, motioning for them to also make way.
Lein's goal in coming to Asmovius Magic and Sword Academy was to find as many magic books as he could. With the power of the system, he only needed 3-4 hours to successfully the entire content of 1 book. Hence, he needed time and calm. Causing trouble in the first place was something he should avoid.
Seeing Lein, Ron smiled bitterly. Even someone as strong as Lein gave up on this arrogant noble. Hence, the three of them followed Lein to give the large carriage some room to get in the queue.
Seeing the four of them surrender, the arrogant noble immediately revealed a haughty smile on his face. The power of silver token is absolutely absolute! "Good! You should have given up from the start."
Seeing that another carriage managed to break through the queue, one of the carriages behind them also took their place. As a result, George couldn't cover up his murderous expression. However, looking at Lein who remained silent and gave his place, he couldn't complain and just resigned himself to the situation.
3 hours later, they finally had their turn to face the gatekeeper. They don't need to spend money to enter. When Alice showed her token and explained the purpose of the other three comrades, the gatekeeper immediately made way by opening the gate for them.
After entering through the gate, the view of Cernel City didn't even look splendid compared to the Asmovius Kindom Center. Luxurious and beautiful buildings were seen everywhere. Horse-drawn carriages that have gigantic sizes even pass in front of them. Ron, who understood the mechanics of carriages and types of horses, couldn't hide his amazed expression. The Asmovius Kingdom was truly extraordinary!
On street corners, many merchants come from almost all corners of the kindom to sell. However, all of them ignored Lein's group, and only offered their wares to the nobles who looked extremely wealthy.
After spending about 1 hour looking around the Asmovius Kingdom Center, they decided to find an inn. After another 20 minutes, they found an inn that looked almost run down. However, because the inn put a low price on the banner hanging above the door, they decided to stay there instead.
It was only a week from now for the Asmovius Magic and Sword Academy to open. Hence, temporarily surviving in this inn shouldn't be a problem.
When the four entered, they were greeted by a cute little girl. Her skin was as snow white with shoulder-length purple hair. Seeing her, Lein could guess that in the future, this little girl would be extremely beautiful.
"Welcome to the Dim Moon Inn. How may I help you?" said the little girl with a slightly bow. She looks very polite, like a Japanese.
Seeing the little girl, Alice became excited. For more than 1 week, she has spent time with these boy beside her. Finding someone of the same gender to talk to, Alice immediately approached her and asked, "Little Sister, what's your name?" said Alice with a sweet smile on her face.
"Alicya, Madam." Alicya also displays a sweet smile on her face.
Meanwhile, noticing their similar names, Alice was getting excited. She then said, "Our names are almost similar, Alicya. My name is Alice, I think we can get along well in the future..."
On a side not far from them, George could not bear to allow himself to continue standing. His body had already reached its limit. If he didn't find a bed soon, he felt like he would die soon. Hence, he immediately interrupted the two's conversation, "Little Sister, are there 4 vacant rooms here?"
Hearing that, Alicya immediately turned her gaze to George, then replied, "Yes Sir. Wait here a moment, I'll call Mother."
"Damn you!" said Alice in her mind. George often did something similar when she met her interlocutors.
Alicya then took a step towards the hall. 3 minutes later, she returned with a woman in her 30s, with a face very similar to Alicya's. The woman also had purple hair, but slightly darker.
"Here happens to have a lot of empty rooms. Please follow me," the woman said with a smile after looking at the four. He then headed back down the hall, followed by the four.
