A crowd of first-year students could be seen inside the Mazar Academy main building. They stood there, lining up in different lines, waiting their turn. There was a strange portal in front of them. The students approached the portal one by one, and before entering, each student was checked to ensure he was not carrying any storage rings.
After checking, the instructor gave each student a gray cloth pouch. It contained food, water, and some essential items useful in daily life. No one knew where the portal led; they were given a sheet of paper on which information like that was provided.
Students discussed what to do after entering the portal, and Rishi was also thinking about it. He was disadvantaged since he had only two contract beasts, but he was not scared. He had a trump card. He could summon the artifact-type Beast. That Owl was powerful and could easily give him an unfair advantage.
