Earth’s Greatest Magus

Chapter 611: Announcement



Chapter 611: Announcement

Now that all the demonstration satisfied the grand magus, he then started to brief the acolytes about Island 7. Although it has been three years, it appears mostly stays the same.

All acolytes would be given access to facilities such as the virtual arena, training ground and the academy-provided residential area to live in.

Just like the previous year, the four magus would also be ready to train the students in each subject every day in their designated place.

These were all the benefits that came with being in the elite class.

When the explanation was done, the magus did not dismiss them, instead the Grand Magus Silas’ expression was even more serious than before. 

“Now, listen to me carefully! This is an important announcement required to be followed by each acolyte.”

The magus waved his hand and a note appeared in his grasp. He read it out loud for everyone to hear.

“First! The war with the elves has reached a disturbing development. Now its effects have even reached the academy halls. Therefore, any acolyte with previous and/or future knowledge of the enemy within this academy must quickly report their information! Failure to do so will lead to expulsion, imprisonment, or even a death sentence.”

The first news was something to be expected, considering what happened during the last time they stayed at the academy, but the last part added an extra weight of seriousness in the matter.

“Secondly! No acolytes are allowed to use offworld travel outside of the academy and institutional planets, until the restrictions are lifted.”

That second part was pretty surprising. On one hand, it was a logical course of action, but on the other hand, many were concerned of how that would affect him during his time here. 

Emery was especially concerned about the two Golden City or Zodiac City that would be imperative to his progress, but for now, he could only hope that both places were still open for access.

“Third and last but not least. The item that was embedded behind your neck is never to be removed nor tempered with. Failure to comply with this rule will lead to expulsion, imprisonment, or even a death sentence.”

Previously, with the first two news, none of the students seemed to be too affected, but now the elite acolytes were in chaos. They were checking their own neck and staring at their friends’ neck, curious and concerned about the decision.

It was to be expected, after all, some of the elite acolytes came from prominent families from across the galaxy. Being put in such questionable items without consent would of course make them furious.

Not many of them were willing to voice their disagreements, however, considering how the announcement was brought by a Grand Magus. But, considering their sharp glares that hid almost nothing, even a dimwitted onlooker would realize the students would not just accept such a treatment without a clear explanation.

Grand Magus Silas waved his hand and let the note turn to ashes before he explained.

“Normally, this would just be the academy policy, but as you are in the elite class, I am authorized to give you some explanation.”

The Grand Magus explained the outer world travel prohibition would most likely only last two weeks to one month at most. The reason for this restriction was to give time for the academy to check up on the tens of thousands of acolytes who just arrived and clear them of any suspicion. For that purpose, their neck was implanted with an advanced chip.

“The academy deems the symbol on your palm to be insufficient with the current condition. However, the chip on your neck can be summed up as a tracking and recording device. It will serve as protection and proof for whenever you end up in a precarious situation.”

The explanation was more than enough to make all the elites nod in understanding, but knowing all their conversation would be recorded left a few other concerns in their mind.

Afterwards, the grand magus smiled, with a forced curl of his lips, before saying the next part of the announcement. 

“Now for the exciting part! Something to look up to in your third year here!” The Grand Magus took another note and announced.

“For this year, the academy has prepared two magus games that will give many rewards and will be followed by two exams. All information regarding the games and the exams can be accessed through your academy database.”

“That is all acolytes! I expect nothing but the best result for the games.”

With the announcement done, the Grand Magus slowly floated in the air before dashing through the sky, leaving the facility to the other four magus.

Emery came closer to his friends to discuss the information they just received. 

“Then, let’s kick some ass on the first game, just like before!” Thrax shouted, an excited gleam evident in his eyes.

Each of them quickly accessed the symbol on their palm. 

[Magus game – third year]

[Game type – Defend the Bridge]

[Elite class – minimum level 4]

[Privilege class – minimum level 5]

“Class drop? I guess If we don’t reach level 4 we have to go back to regular class!?” Chumo said with a little concern in his voice.

However, that penalty did not even dampen the Thracian’s spirit in the slightest. He was still as loud and excited as ever. “Don’t worry, it’s just Defend the Bridge! Last year, we aced that game, we can do it again!”

Julian, however, stared at the announcement with an unusual expression before saying. “I am sure there will be many differences compared to last year. I think we should learn more about this.”

Klea noticed something and said, “Boys, this said that in this game you are allowed to form a team consisting of members from regular, elite and privileged classes.”

“What do you mean?” Emery asked. 

However, while they were trying to understand the situation, Anas from the Kaleos approached them and said to Klea.

“Klea. We the Kaleos wish you to join our team!”

Thrax quickly shouted “You’re still singing that old song!? She is not interested!”

Anas stayed calm despite Thrax’s provocation, turned to look at Klea and Emery, and said.”This time the Kalos genius from the privileged class will join the team, I am inviting Klea and Emery to join our team for the game, i assure you this will definitely more beneficial for you two.”
