Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

While Oliver was worried about him due to an unknown reason, Alice and Kai finished eating their breakfast and were getting to leave for the assembly ground.

Once out of the room, Kai followed Alice and entered the dormitory office. They saw aunt Delfonia standing while holding two 10 cm. diameter crystal balls.

"Here you go, you two." Aunty Delfonia handed the crystal balls over to them.

Now with the crystal balls, Alice and Kai said bye to aunt Delfonia and left.

"Alice, what are these crystal balls?"

"Just do what I do." She placed the crystal ball on the ground, inserted some magic and a magic circle appeared on its surface. Then, it turned into a meter-wide, 1 cm thick circular plate.

Alice stood on top of it and it started flying in the air.

"Now Kai, do the same. Hurry or we will be late."

Kai nodded and did the same. He started flying and zoomed towards the sky, following Alice side by side.

Standing on the disc, about a 100 meters above ground, Kai saw thousands of people standing on various discs passing by his side at great speed and rushing towards the assembly ground.

Kai and Alice also followed.

While they were going towards the assembly ground, Kai saw just how big the academy was.

There were numerous buildings of different sizes and designs, a giant 300-meter radius wide arena, a market area, parks, training grounds and tall towers that Kai had to avoid from time to time.

"Are you surprised to see how big the academy is? I was also when I first saw this scene," said Alice while flying beside  Kai.

He smiled and didn't say anything.

"This place is too small compared to the Capital city of Buraford Kingdom, but it's more prosperous compared to it."

While the students passed by, they looked at Kai.

"Who is that senior? It's my first time seeing the Queen talking to a guy in such a friendly manner."

"Maybe he is her boyfriend."

"What are you talking about? Everyone knows the Queen hates men."

"Who knows, this senior must be a master at picking up girls."

"How shameless, picking up girls far below his age. He must be an uncle pretending to be a young boy."

Kai had become the center of attention of all the students of the outer circle.

Some were gossiping, some gave him thumbs up, some were looking at him with hateful eyes and some with looks of admiration.

Among them, Kai found some familiar faces from the entrance exams. It was Fatty Yuna and blonde swordsman Fredrick.

Noticing Kai looking at them, they nodded back, to which Kai smiled.

As these conversations went on about Kai and Alice, the students finally reached the assembly ground.

The place covered an area of 600 square meters, with a stone platform 10 by 3 meters wide and 3 meters high in the center, surrounded by 2-meters high from three sides.

During the conversation, Kai found that this place was in the core areas of the academy and that no teleporter connected to this place, which is why they have to use the flying discs to get there.

When reaching the ground, Kai saw rows of teachers standing beside the stone stage and students were standing in rows while on their flying discs.

Kai and Alice also joined a row and waited for the headmaster to show up.

Finally, after seeing that everyone had arrived, the teachers nodded and an elderly figure walked up to the stage holding a voice amplifying tool in his hand. The teachers stood behind him.

"Cough, cough, sorry about that. 

Good morning, everyone. Some of you may know me, others would be seeing me for the first time, but I am the headmaster of Chronos Magic Academy, Oliver Chronos."

Everyone started clapping, most being the new students who haven't see him for the first time.

"This guy is the legendary battle mage. He is the oldest and strongest battle mage alive," said a  guy while everyone was excited, especially the battle mages and fighters.

Even Kai could feel that Oliver was not as simple as he looked and for a moment, Kei felt as if their eyes made contact.

"This guy is really not simple, Kai," told Daoma to Kai using mind transmission.

"This guy is infinitely close to the Magic Commander realm, and I can feel a strange energy around him, which is different from magic power."

Hearing Daoma, Kai became even more impatient to meet him in person.

"Silence please."

Everyone stopped talking and Oliver continued.

"To the new students who have passed this year's entrance exams, welcome to the academy and sorry for not being able to attend the entrance exams, I had to pass on the duty to one of my trusted teachers, David. I hope all of you will adapt to the academy's rules and regulations and follow them strictly. 

Aside from that, many of you have advanced from the basic to the advanced classes and have joined the inner court. I wish you the best of luck for your future and for you to make use of the opportunity before you. The academy is always there to help you.

It is you who will have to show and prove to be worthy of it, so claps for yourselves for making it this far.

As for you who will be leaving after completing your basic courses, I hope you all return once more and join the advanced courses. The doors of the academy will always be open for you. Once a student will forever be a student of the academy."

Clapping clapping.

Some were smiling, others, were crying from the headmaster's words.

Most of the students here will leave after completing their basic courses and will graduate, continuing on their journey in their paths. They may or may not see their friends ever again. It was an emotional moment for these students. "Bests of luck to all of you." Oliver bowed to the students.

"Secondly, the reason I have called you all. The academy has decided to open the library, aside from some core or top-secret documents. Now, you can access the library according to your cultivation stage instead of using contribution points."

Everyone was astonished.

"Thirdly, the academy has made a contract with Fantasia chamber of commerce and will buy magic crops and magic stones directly on market price, so you will be able to eat food cooked using them and have a greater choice of cultivation resources. You will have to use contribution points for them and you can find the costs in the food court's notice board and contribution points exchange center.

Fourthly, the Ten Thousand Beasts mountain will now be open all year long instead of just during the survival test. You can exchange contribution points for the resources found there.

And Lastly, the basic courses will now be divided into 9 stages instead of 3. Every year, exams will be conducted and those who show no progress will be kicked out. This decision was made due to the recent increase in the number of students. The academy will not invest in you if you are not willing to improve on your side.

"That is all I have to say. May your day be nice and full of joy. Thank you." 

Oliver left the stage and spoke to Old Black while the students started discussing among themselves about the impact of the new changes in the system.

As for Kai, it was not going to affect him. Magic herbs and cultivation resources were useless to him and couldn't help him in cultivation.

The only thing that interested Kai was the Ten Thousand beasts mountain that Olive spoke about.

Kai never heard of this place before. From the name, it definitely had something to do with magical beasts, and aside from the forbidden forest, no other place had magical beasts.

All magical beasts in the continent, one way or another, came from the forbidden forest.

"Everyone can now leave for their classes. Today is your first day of the semester and your teachers will help you get you familiar with the subject, so don't miss it.

The timetables have been sent to your hand band devices. Please check it and go to your respective classes. The teacher will be going soon to start," said one of the teachers.

With that, the students started checking their hand devices and leaving.

Kai was also trying to do so and ask Alice for help when Old Black approached him and whispered into his ears.

Kai nodded and told Alice to leave as he had something regarding his admission to take care of.

Alice nodded and left after turning around.

One after another, all students and teachers left, leaving only Old Black, Kai and headmaster Oliver in the assembly ground.

Seeing this, Kai and Old black walked towards headmaster Oliver, who was smiling at Kai.

"Headmaster Oliver, good morning."

"Good morning, Kai," replied Oliver as he signaled Old Black to leave them alone.

Old Black nodded and left.

"Let's go and talk in my personal quarters. We have many things to discuss, Kai," smiled Oliver.

Kai nodded and they both left the assembly grounds, heading toward the headmaster's personal residence.
