Ivan, who heard what was going on behind from Nu, stared at the direction where the knights and a mage were said to be, his gaze continued to peer at the clouded dome in vein as nothing unveiled under his curious gaze, but then the dome lowered slightly as a feebly dense magic power descended upon them, it was a density that could be considered as the most gentlest, since he was forced to see and be under much harsher ones.
'What was that about the [Worlds Academy] and the [Graduate]?' Ivan pondered over the words Nu relied to him, as the magic power ceased to bore down on them.
"Khugh...." Groans sounded behind him, in response to which he simply turned to face the now familiar people.
"..." Ivan merely gazed at them, standing straight as their groans continued for a few more seconds before their gazes met with his.
And at that instance, a wave of utter silence washed over them,
The groans subsided as those that gazed at the unwavering gaze of a King, stood back up on their feet.
Noticing which Ivan merely turned his back on them, returning to gaze at the clouding dome, which gradually lifted off and went nearly unnoticed. Though those behind Ivan, Nu, Zilla, and Keith got used to the new pressure, they were still rendered unable to move.
"Hello, newbies! I'm Velor, the commander of the silver knights order!" As soon as Velor and those behind him came into sight, Velor introduced himself in a tone that Ivan recognised to be fake, pointing above his head where his [Title] could be seen.
But after a linear glance at each and everyone standing in front of him, Ivan continued to gaze at his terrain. He noticed that he was inside a room that was larger than a football field, the ceiling was nearly 50 foot tall with another magic made dome parting the stage and the seats for the spectators. Though it seemed like a coliseum, it couldn't be called one.
There was a humongous pattern of a sun engraved on the ground, while Ivan and the others were standing atop of the dark brown circle that represented the centre of the sun, as the 'flames' part of the sun seemed to be stretched out to the ends of the stage they stood on.
With everything in his sight,
'It is a training hall. If I'm right, then it is one in a large enough palace.' Ivan concluded inwardly, as his gaze returned to Velor, who had yet to continue his words.

And,
"You must have gotten the list of [Blessings] available for you to choose from! Everybody is given a choice, so those who think of yourself to be special, stop day-dreaming and choose a [Blessing] you won't regret! Though I don't care whatever [Blessing] you choose, I suggest you not to select the [Human Blessing] if you do not want to regret your choice!" As Ivan was checking over the list of [Blessings] available to him, Velor spoke up.
'Why?' Ivan thought as he gazed at the [Human Blessing].
And fortunately, before he fulfilled his curiosity on his own, Velor spoke up again.
"You must be thinking, 'Why?' Be thankful you bugs! I have brought just the people needed to fulfil your curiosity!!" Velor announced, flashing a slightly disgust enticing grin, which continued remain fake under Ivan's perspective.
"Teleport them!" Velor commanded the fragile looking boy behind him, who nodded slightly fearfully and pointed a beautiful crystal embedded wand at Ivan and the others.
"Linear + Assembled + Mass + Teleport." The mage initiated a command, as a four-layered magic circles stacked upon each other beneath Ivan's feet, who gazed at it for a split second before glancing back at the mage with a puzzled expression marring his face.
'Why is he so inefficient?' Ivan thought as he formed the exact series of magic circles in his consciousness and studied it, to redesign it, as he, together with the rest were teleported to the spectator seats around the training ground.
DING-!
[User has understood a complex series of [Higher level Magic]]
"???"

"..." Ivan gazed at the notification interfaces in front of him with a deadpan expression, as all the information about the skills in front of him got engraved in his consciousness in an instant.
'.... Is it because it was an F-Ranked Job?' Ivan pondered and concluded that to be the case. From Keith's explanation minutes ago, Ivan knew that the skills are unlocked after fulfilling the required conditions, and at times, only one skill would unlock, but now, Ivan was gazing at all of his passive skills being unlocked at once, why? Because [System] judged that he had understood the [Higher level Magic], which was inefficient in his eyes, to be a conditional requirement.
'I should be thankful for that.....' Ivan smiled lightly.
And,
[[------- Blessing]: Boosts the user's [Senses]] [Chosen by: 0 people]
'From Sir Velor's words, I could tell that there were only five kinds of [Blessings], why do I have six of them?' Ivan pondered.
'System, do you know something?' Ivan asked, trying to confirm many things than what could be derived from his words.
After a brief moment of silence, Ivan pondered over whether the [System] could really not peer into his consciousness, or if it was just faking it, thinking it was better to be cautious about that matter, Ivan put that thought to the back of his mind.
"Come on, you two! Take positions! You are going teach the kids the difference in the strengths between them and you, while displaying the advantages of the [Blessings]!" Velor announced.
""Yes, Sir!"" A pair of rough voices sounded, as they walked towards the centre of the training hall, as their knightly, glossy silvery black, armours, similar to Velor's, clunked with each step they took.
Keeping his eyes on the pair that stood pointing their weapons at each other, Ivan thought of many different things.
'I should check out my status window....' Ivan thought and the system's interface popped up in front of his eyes.
