Chapter 23 The Beginning of the Real Silver Mage Academy

Author: M_W Cancer

After they finished eating their dinner, Leo and Cassandra soon after bidding farewell to Alfred and the four students.

Leo along with Cassandra would be going to Sword and Magic to meet up with Butler Xiao and General Kevin. They had their luggage, and he also doesn't know which room did the two had booked, too. But, since they had agreed to meet at Sword and Magic, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

Arriving in front of Sword and Magic, Leo immediately spotted Butler Xiao and General Kevin. However, he also noticed that their luggage was still with them.

"Young Master, um... Madam Silva told us to meet her after you arrive, she also told us not to book any rooms, yet." Butler Xiao hurriedly explained as he noticed that his Young Master gaze curiously towards the luggage.

The reason why Leo needed to book a room was because the Silver Mage Academy doesn't have any dorms or rooms for their students to live in. So, every student, such as him, could only book a room around the hotels of Silver city.

Leo nodded in reply as he went inside Sword and Magic.

The moment Leo came inside Madam Silva's office, he then found out that she was still currently busy handling some of the Sword and Magic affairs. Hence, he just decided to look around the merchandise being sold by the shop to wait for her.

.....

"Wow, what a giant sword! Weight 200kg? Purely made of Mana stones? Worth 200,000 Gold coins?!! Just how many Mana stones did they use to make this sword?" Leo became really shocked arriving as he arrived in front of a giant sword.

It was a three-meter long silver-colored sword purely made out of Mana stone. Obviously, its purpose wasn't only to attack, but also at the same time allow its user to defend from Magical attacks.

Leo carefully went to grab the sword from the glass container as he tried to weigh it with his body, "Damn, I can't even swing using this sword! Just who on earth would even try using this?"

Leo put back the sword inside the glass container since he wasn't even capable of swinging it.

After putting back the sword, Leo's attention was immediately drawn towards a bow. It was a sky blue colored bow named Glacier Bow. It was a bow made using Glacier ore and Mana stone. By combining both materials, it allows the bow to enhance the users' ice magic, and it also allows the bow to become as hard as diamond, hence it can also become a melee weapon or a shield at the same time if used in the right way.

Leo went to grab the bow. Unlike the giant sword, the bow was only weighing 2kg. It was surprisingly really light to carry. He immediately tried drawing the string to test how strong it was.

"That string is made out of silk from Silver Worm. Those Silver Worm's silk is known for being tough as a chain at the same time also as flexible as a hair, hence the best material for bowstrings." Madam Silva suddenly explained behind Leo.

Leo was immediately surprised by Madam Silva's arrival as he hurriedly put back the Glacier Bow to its container while feeling really embarrassed.

Madam Silva let out a short laugh at Leo's action, "No need to act that way. Haven't you noticed that no staff dared to stop you from getting them out of their container?"

Indeed, Leo had noticed that the staffs of Sword and Magic were only looking at him from time to time. But what's wrong with that, though?

"Can't I touch the weapons?" Leo was curious to know the reason behind the staff's action.

"Of course not, look at that sign on the top..." Madam Silva said while pointing at a sign with a 'Do not touch' word written on it, "However, since you are a VVVIP of all the branches of Sword and Magic in Silver city right now, hence you are allowed to do that."

Leo scratched his head in embarrassment, "So that's the reason, hehehe... By the way, when did I become a VVVIP?"

"Just a while ago, hehehe..." Madam Silva answered in a joking manner before she turned around, "Come, let's go to the house I RESERVE for you and Cassandra."

Leo was immediately shocked when he heard that Madam Silva had actually reserved a house for them. Though he wanted to decline, she had stressed the word 'RESERVE', which obviously implies that he can't deny it.

.....

After a few minutes inside a carriage prepared by the Sword and Magic, Leo along with the others finally arrived in front of a three-story white house.

The house was really beautiful. It has a small front yard at its front with two cherry blossoms near the entrance door, seemingly making its door looked like a beautiful entrance. In the backyard, it had a fifteen by fifteen meter size swimming pool, a bar counter at the right side of the pool, a small gym beside the bar counter, and a small garden on the left side of the backyard's glass sliding door.

The inside was also amazing as it had a medium size kitchen with a 3-meter radius circular dining table, a living room, and a meeting room on the first floor; four rooms with each having its own bathroom, another small living room, and a balcony in the second floor; and lastly, a huge library at the third floor. It actually also has a rooftop which was turned into an outdoor hot spring.

The three-story house has a complete facility and can completely satisfy any needs of both Leo and Cassandra. In fact, it was beyond great for them. They even started hesitating when Madam Silva was giving them the key.

"Also, Alicia and her husband would be serving you starting tomorrow. Be sure to treat them well as they are my PEOPLE!'" Madam Silva said before bidding farewell.

"Young Master, we also need to go now since I need to start my role as Substitute Ruler tomorrow." Butler Xiao bid farewell along with General Kevin.

Leo wanted to make them stay, but since they were going to become busy starting tomorrow, he could only let them go.

Coming inside the house, Leo and Cassandra immediately picked a room and went inside to unload their luggage.

After Leo finished arranging his things, he went to take a bath and immediately fell asleep on his bed afterwards. Tomorrow would be the official start of their day as official students of Silver Mage Academy.

.....

The next day, Leo and Cassandra were again panicking. They woke up really late again, though this time they weren't really that worried since the location of their new home was just a few dozens of meters from the Silver Mage Academy.

When they arrived downstairs, Alicia along with her husband Eric was already waiting for them. Breakfast was also already served, and the carriage that will take them to the Academy was already waiting outside.

Leo and Cassandra hurriedly finish their breakfast. They then ride in their carriage, which was driven by Eric.

.....

While the two were going inside their respective classroom, Leo suddenly became curious as to why the students they meet along the way were showing depressed faces.

After bidding farewell to Cassandra, Leo immediately went to his classroom. He was shocked again when he noticed that all of his classmates were also showing the same face. Though their faces were much better compare to the others he had to meet along the way.

"Hey what's wrong?" Leo asked Alfred when he arrived at his table.

"Ayssh, do you know that completing those missions isn't actually as easy as what teacher Marvin had explained yesterday? They are indeed easy missions. However, we are not only competing against our fellow first-year students, but also our seniors! All the second year, third year, fourth-year students who are unquestionably stronger, better, and much more experienced than us!"

"Aside from that, the competition on the missions outside is even much harder since we need to compete with all the students, the same year as us and their seniors, from all the Academies throughout the entire Silver Kingdom, in each of those listed missions! Ahh, will we even have any chance to even accept a mission?"

"It finally explained why there were countless amount of missions, it simply because hundreds of thousands or even millions of students would be accepting all of those every day!" Alfred said, feeling really depressed.

Leo was also shocked when he heard Alfred's reason. He finally realized why everyone was showing a depressed face along the way. Though their section was long aware of the points, the other sections weren't, hence those other students' faces were much uglier than his classmates.

Leo finally realized something, "So this is the real Silver Mage Academy!"

The harmonious and beautiful atmosphere that Leo had felt before entering the Silver Mage Academy was actually just a facade to hide how intense the competition inside was.

In fact, even the beautiful scenery outside wasn't really able to hide the true Silver Mage Academy for long. The moment a student becomes an official student, they would soon uncover the true face behind the seemingly beautiful Silver Mage Academy.

Today marks the beginning of the real Silver Mage Academy!
