Inside of the academy, massive towers rose up to the clouds.
The towers were of various shapes and sizes making Tron think he had arrived at a more advanced Hogwarts Academy.
It wasn't long when the Prime Magus and the 30 participants arrived at a massive dormitory.
This was the place that Tron would live and train hereon, as Acolytes.
Around 100 students would share the same building.
Jinx Dorm originally had about 50 students, and now another 30 had come. It was just about full.
Within the surroundings, there were even good fields for planting arcane herbs. It was magnificent, and might even surpass Tron's imagination.
Besides, the dorm also had many places of trade, as well as libraries. There were many places where the students could interact and chill.
Tron, Seraph, Maine, John, and the rest would abide at Dorm from now on. Unless, of course, their arcane cortex advanced to become Mages.
"From today onwards, you are students of our Dark Bane Academy. As you live, you're men and women of our Dark Bane Academy.
The Prime Magus began to read the ground rules. The Dark Bane Academy had five rules and 10 commandments. And there were more detailed rules as well.
"This book is The Basic Rule Book. Take it with you and study it carefully. Memorize it. Moreover, you may not violate the laws, or the consequences will be severe. Minor violations will be punished with grounding. Major violations will see you banished from the sect, or even killed on the spot.
"The Records of the Jinx Dormitary, detailed some important things. You must also know it thoroughly. You must know where to go when something happens, and which places are forbidden to you ordinary students. If you trespass on prohibited ground, you will definitely be punished.
"This is The Chronicles of Terstial Continent. All students of our Magus Academy must learn it thoroughly and develop basic knowledge of the entire Terstial Continent - the distribution of power, the kingdomsll, the geography, territories, the other factions, and of course magical beasts."
Besides this, an Elementary Grade meditation and breathing technique as well as basic spell manuals were given out. Both, not very useful to Tron at the moment.
"Every month, you can receive a strand of moon petal grass, and you may also choose an Arcane tool. The seniors in charge will bring you to claim them. However, training requires nourishment for strength. Everything from now on will be achieved by your own strength.
"However, meditation and expanding your mana pool is not so easy. Out of 100 students, only a few succeeds. This means that our of the 30 of you present, it's very likely that none of you will succeed to become a genuine Magus. Do not be arrogant simply because you have become a student of a Magus Academy. You must know that your journey has only just begun."
Magus Reynold's words gave the impulsive students some warning about the difficulties of their journey ahead.
"The Jinx Dorm has 53 more student residences that are vacant. You may each go and choose your own. Tron, remain."
After hearing Magus Reynold's words, everyone could not wait to get to it
But Tron's name had also made them remember: Superposition Potion, Space Rending Blade.
This was something that many coveted.
Under normal circumstances, these were treasures that only those who had mastered the martial way could obtain.
Magus Reynold did not waste words; he walked to stand in front of Tron. Firstly, he pulled out a jewel-encrusted box from an unknown place. Although the box was closed tightly, it still emitted wafts of fragrance.
"This is the Superposition Potion. Remember that you are not to open it if you aren't planning on using it."
"I understand."
Tron accepted the Superposition Potion. This was a top-quality potion, but it was of no use to him.
Next, with a hiss, there was a sword in Magus Reynold's hands. When the sword appeared, the intense wave of energy which compelled many students to step back inadvertently. It was a huge sword with the width of five fingers in horizontal lines. It gleamed like the dark abyss and looked sharp enough to slice a falling feather. A few runes was carved on the edge of the blade, and there were jewels at the handle of the blade.
"An arcane tool needs to be treated properly."
Saying thus, the Magus Reynold stomped his staff to the ground and vanished.
All the students looked enviously at Tron.
"Let's go, juniors. From now on, you are all part of Jinx Dorm. I'll bring everyone to choose your own residence."
A middle-aged man walked forward.
"Tron, are we friends?" Seraph asked, lifting her head.
"Of course."
"Then I'll come and find you often to play and fight." Before, Seraph had been a cold wench. Now she happily declared thus before she ran off. Looked like she was still just a kid.
Within the residence, all was brand new. Anything that they could ask for was provided, save for their own servants. The students had a quota of ten servants.
"I'll return to the servant's manor first and beg a favor of Magus Daphne, to let Sethra accompany me. And then I'll go look for a few servants."
At the top of the tower, was Tron's apartment located. It was where all Prime student stayed.
Tron entered without any quarms.
The place was like a penthouse. It was massive. He could access the roof of the building through his room, meditate there and there was even a massive tamed Mutated Beast tied up in a cage of the roof.
The magical beast was very similar to a bat except its two eyes were replaced with a slitted eyes. It possess six legs and a long rat like tail.
Tron fiddled with the magical object in his hands. As long as he willed it, the life and death of the beast was his to control.
Although he liked the idea of having a pet, this particular was truly too ugly. Moreover, Mutated Beasts are too unstable and could die at anytime!
