???: WAKE UP! ITS TIME TO WAKE UP! ALBION YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN FOR A MEAN SURPRISE IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP AND CHANGE!
Albion shot up awake at the sound of someone screaming at him. As he shot up he felt something small hit him in the head. Was this the mean surprise? He looked around to see what it was. But as he looked at the end of his bed he saw a very small person-shaped flame. They were really small. Tiny. The size of his hand. Albion knew exactly what it was:
Albion: You're… you're a spirit!
???: Owww! Why did you head butt me?! {Why can you even touch me?! Is it because you're part spirit?}
Albion: Sorry! I didn't mean to! {Why is a spirit in my room?! Why can I see it?! Is it revealing itself to me?}
???: The others said it would be a bad idea to appear so close. I should have listened to them.
The small flaming spirit sounded as if it were a male. Its body which was the shape of a human but looked like a red flickering flame rubbed its face with his flame-like hand. But Albion was confused with one thing.
Albion: Others?
Albion looked as suddenly many, many spirits appeared in his room. All different elements.
Everyone: HI, ALBION!
Over a hundred small spirits appeared in his room as Albion was about to freak out he disappeared.
???: Awwww. He's always so cute!
???: I preferred it when he was a baby.
???: I want to see what he looks like fully grown.
???: You realise we have to try and find him again. It was a pain to spend the whole day finding him here. The Heart guy was really annoying teleporting like that.
The fire-like entity said as it floated up to the rest of the spirits. All embodying different elements. Even some unique ones.
???: Adorable! You're just worried he'll get hurt again. You were balling sparks when he nearly died.
???: NAH! I WAS NOT!
???: Face it. If we didn't stop you would have tried to save him!
???: WHY DID YOU STOP ME?!
???: Because spirit magic and contracts are dangerous. And if you didn't form that and just used your power you would have burned our poor boy to ash and a good portion of the forest.
???: I've been getting better at controlling my powers. Besides as a part spirit that has Mana Lines and the fire affinity he has some resistance.
A water entity floated up to the flaming one. Putting its water-like arm around his flame-like body.
???: Sparky, my boy. You're the best at controlling your powers. And that's why none of us could interfere. Even a low-grade spirit like me would have badly hurt Albion.
Sparky: Well we surprised him and he's already been teleported to orientation. We made the surprise even worse.
Sparky bluntly pointed out.
Everyone: Oh… our bad.
Scene change
Albion appeared in a large hall empty. Still in his shorts but without a top on. He had gotten too used to sleeping without it. But… he was about to start where he left off.
Albion: AHHHHHH!!
Everyone: AHHHHHH!
Everyone who was also teleported backed away from Albion as they were all on the floor in their pyjamas or nightgowns. Everyone around was significantly more dressed and covered than Albion was. As he tried to calm down he looked around as everything was different. He was no longer in his bedroom and many people were around him. Everyone of different sizes, ages and species around.
???: Such a unique reaction this year.
Albion looked in the air. Glaring at who he saw. It was the old man that threatened his family.
???: Welcome and congratulations on getting into Aragons Boarding School. A school to grow those of great talent. Both the diamonds that are hidden in the rough or to refine those from families that have constantly produced the most precious of gems. I am your principal. Call me Veldris.
Veldris said floating in the air. Holding a golden cane as if he was trying to show off even more.
???: He's… he's the strongest mage in the kingdom!
???: One of the 3 Arch Mages!
Everyone around started praising the old man as some sort of god as he floated in the sky. Albion biting his lip in anger and realising his situation.
Albion: {*Sigh* I'm fucked!}
Veldris: Like today you will be teleported to your first lesson for the first year at 9:00 am. You will then go to your other lessons normally. But today we are exploring the school. An introduction to your new 8-year life. If you make it that long.
Veldris looked at Albion. Albion glared at Veldris. It was as if Veldris was trying to tell Albion he wasn't going to make it the eight years.
Albion: That wasn't ominous whatsoever.
Albion said sarcastically as he heard someone giggle. All teleporting again. Appearing in the air as they all floated. Some started spinning unable to stay upright. Albion was easily able to control his orientation.
Veldris: If you look below you can see the swordsmanship training ground. A large open area where duels take place and your instructor teaches you techniques or helps you practice in lessons. Physical training is in a separate area with state-of-the-art equipment.
Everyone looked down as it was a large dirt area. Many were fighting as there were glowing blue swords and slashes of mana hitting and dispersing from a concrete wall. Albion noticed a magical trace on the wall at impact. And a massive barrier around the whole of the inner school.
[Magic Adaptation has reached max level. Magic Adaptation (F) has become Magic Adaptation (E).]
Albion: Wait… you mean a gym?
Veldris: Please leave all comments and questions at the end, or come and see me when this is done. {What's a gym?}
They all disappeared again. Appearing in a black space.
Veldris: This is the advanced and magic training room. There are hundreds of these. An imaginary space created with the help of this country's top mages and dwarven engineers. It is anything desired to be and can be for personal training or used in classes.
They then disappeared again.
Veldris: This is the alchemy room…
And again.
Veldris: This is the blacksmith…
"This is the advanced combat, this is the nature, this is the sky pavilion, this is the this is the..."
It felt like it would never end. There were so many areas and the school was so big. It was the entire city. A campus, school grounds, shopping, entertainment of various kinds. It was one large massive tour. Some people were getting sick from all the teleporting. Others were so bored. Only interested in the first 10 rooms and descriptions and then they started to see it as all a blur. Information entering one ear and out the other. But then they all appeared in front of something as everyone together marvelled.
Veldris: And finally. What our school is most known for. It's an artificial dungeon. While dungeons are around the world and are naturally occurring structures that are filled with monsters that are artificially created. The deeper you go the harder it gets. This dungeon uses similar technology as the imaginary space, creating artificial monsters and unique wide area terrains that get more difficult the higher you get. Once you die in the tower you appear outside the entrance perfectly fine and any equipment used or broken is given back perfectly intact and in its original state. You can go through the tower alone or as a party. Parties wear blue bands that link to one's mana signature, teleporting through the floors together.
Everyone looked at the tall tower in amazement. It seemed everyone knew what it was already besides Albion. All marvelling at its pearly white glory. Many people entering the tower and appearing around it in a blue glow.
Veldris: And that will be the end. Your timetable, a map and uniform will already be in your room. Please use the rest of the day as you please.
Albion appeared in his room again. A small water-looking entity that sounded like a girl in front of him.
???: I KNEW YOU WOULD BE BACK!
Albion was slightly surprised as it hugged his face but he collected himself. The small wet feeling was unusual.
Albion: I'm sorry but why were all of you in my room?
???: Because you are fun to be around!
Albion: {What?} How long have you been around me?
???: Hmmmm. Since your birth. We always watch you.
Albion: That's… creepy. Wait you watch everything?
???: Unless you suddenly disappear and we have to find you… Yeah.
Albion: Even with me and Eve.
???: Yep!
Albion looked at the water spirit. It seemed it didn't know anything about privacy.
Albion: {WHY IS MY LOVE LIFE LESS PRIVATE THAN A PUBLIC BATHROOM!} *Sigh* And what do you guys want?
???: Right now? Well, we want to keep on watching you and helping you with small things. But later on, we have something to ask of you.
Albion: Ok… and what is your name? {I need to get rid of these things. The fact they watch me 24/7 is really unsettling.}
???: Oh! I'm Aquatic! A medium-rank spirit! Nice to finally introduce myself!
???: HE'S HERE!
Albion heard a shout from his window.
Aquatic: Oh they're all back!
Loads of spirits flew through the window phasing through it as they all piled onto Albion. Hugging him. The day he was going to spend exploring the school. Was now spent remembering the names of all the spirits who look nearly identical to one another.
Albion: {I need to find a way to get rid of these spirits. This… this too much.}
