And when Ray entered his room he was puzzled as on the outside it looked like a small room as there was only around 3 meters of space between the doors.
But when he entered it it seemed like he had his own entire mansion itself, so he stormed out of his room and went into the other empty ones.
And when he entered them he was even more puzzled due to the fact that their rooms were not as huge as his, even though it was still bigger than it's outside self.
'Is this space magic?'
Ray then went back to his room and entered his shining wooden door and when he entered it even though he already saw it, he was still baffled at what he was looking at.
"It's almost the exact same replica of the mansion we are staying in now."
"Was my room purposely made this big because I'm the first ranked?"
When Ray looked around his room he found a black device and was designed like a modern remote that seemed to control the space within the room as he pressed a button it got bigger and he pressed the other one it got smaller.
"T-this is insane, I honestly thought that nothing would impress me even if I was in the academy."
And Ray finally opened his Dimensional storage and then a dark crack appeared in the air and when it opened all his needs fell out including even appliances.
"They really went overboard with this, I won't even use these at all."
Ray then used the device that he found to make his room even bigger to the point that now there was a room inside a room.
"I guess that was too much."
Ray then made the room smaller until he was comfortable with it.
And the room was now the size of a small house.
Author:I'm purposely leaving out details here so you guys the readers can visualize it in your own way. (lol I'm actually just lazy and I don't know how to describe it, bruh dont judge me.)
And as Ray settled down he slept and as he slowly went into deep sleep he unintentionally entered the soul realm.
"What?" Ray said as he "opened" his eyes and his surroundings were all completely white.
"Did I enter the soul realm?"
Ray was baffled as this was the first time he entered the soul realm accidentally.
And as he looked around him he saw a figure approaching, a familiar one.
"Child..."
"...headmaster??"
The figure laughed.
"You immediately knew it was me!! You're brilliant!"
"Wait are you actually the headmaster or did I also just create you accidentally?"
"Well you could say I'm both."
Ray was confused when he heard this.
"I intentionally put some of my mana in you but you were the one who entered the soul realm and created me."
"So are you actually the headmaster?"
"Yes and no, currently I'm sleeping in my office but I'm talking to you."
'He keeps acting confusing I just won't ask any questions now."
The Headmaster walked closer towards Ray.
"So the actual reason I'm here is to personally train you, Ray the genius of the Grandfell family."
"You're the most brilliant child I've met even after the hundreds of years that I have been the headmaster of this academy."
"But that also means that a monstrosity has been born on the evil side as well, the universe will always find a way to have equality within itself."
"It might now be long from now that this world will be plunged into chaos."
'I get what he's talking about but shouldn't we start with my training then if such a thing is close to happening?'
"You do know that I'm the headmaster of the best academy in the empire, so I can easily read your mind."
"Oh."
Ray face turned pale as he looked at the headmaster.
The headmaster laughed again.
"Don't worry It's happened a lot, and you're right we should start your training now."
"So what should I do??"
The headmaster then gave Ray a crystal ball.
"Here, try to insert your mana into it."
And when Ray did as he was told the crystal ball exploded.
"Agh!"
"Did I do something wrong?"
"No, that's how the ball is supposed to work it needs the least amount of mana in it that it won't explode."
"So I have to control.my mana to the point that this won't explode?"
"Yes, precisely."
Ray then immediately started to put his mana into it.
-------------
Hours passed in the soul realm but as Ray was now more powerful only minutes have passed in the real world.
Ray tried several methods, once he tried to insert his mana into it then extract it again, he still failed.
And along the way The headmaster just suddenly disappeared.
-------------
A day has passed in the soul realm and outside it was now noontime.
Ray still hasn't succeeded in controlling his mana but he has gotten more proficient in it, and the radius and power of the crystal ball has now became weaker.
"I should go back now I'll continue this later."
Ray then woke up and went out of his room and went to the third floor and found Bell training there.
"Bell?"
She stopped and as she looked towards her left she saw Ray.
"Oh Ray you've been asleep for quite some time now, everyone already explored the entire mansion after they finished settling down in their room."
"I think you're actually the only one who immediately went to sleep."
"Is that so, I apologize for disturbing you then."
-------------
Then a day and a half passed by with Ray training his proficiency in controlling his magic and he still has not succeeded in controlling the crystal ball and it was now time for the mental exam.
And as all ten people in the diamond class went out of the mansion, the following day the headmaster personally cam eto them and gave Bell a map to the mental test.
"So Grandise has the map?"
"Tsk!"
Ains was still annoyed by May.
And May always avoided him.
'Dis Ains still not learn his lesson' Ray thought to himself, still disgusted at Ains mindset.
And everyone was following Bell as she swiftly walked through the forest.
-------------
And after quite some time of walking they finally got back to the entrance to the academy and as they walked towards the main building in the academy were the most of the indoor classes and lectures are taken place it was designed to seem like a gigantic palace.
'The guys in the academy really go overboard for every single little thing.'
And as they approached it the map instead lead them to a stone tower that had multiple floors.
"Is this where the test is gonna be?"
And as all ten of then entered the tower some of the other students were already there.
"The diamond class?"
"I heard their test is taking place on the top floor of this tower."
"This must be the Bronze class so does this mean that every floor is a higher class?"
'So ours really is on the top.'
And as all ten of them walked upstairs the next class they met was the copper class, and then the silver class then and then the gold class and when the gold class saw them they had jealous eyes and most of them had an annoyed aura especially towards Ray.
Then someone whispered.
"Tsk, damned diamond class."
And when Ray heard this he approached him.
"What did you just say?"
"Uh, nothing I'm sorry."
He bowed his head.
And the diamond class continued their way up until they were at the top.
And when they reached it the headmaster was there waiting.
And all of them were baffled except for ray as he already sensed the headmaster before they came up.
All of them paid their respects to the headmaster as they saw him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, headmaster." Deias Fraux said a descendant of the founder of the Fraix academy, Fredrick Fraux.
"Oh, Deias! It's been a while since we met right? The last I visited your household was when you were still a baby."
The headmaster knew Deias very well as the Fraux family has been a huge benefactor to the academy as even though it's been hundreds of years since Fredrick died the family still held 50% ownership of the academy.
'I totally forgot that guy! Was it just a coincidence?'
And while The headmaster and Deias were talking the other 9 students sat down on the wooden chairs behind the headmaster.
