Eldrea Academia and The One That Stars Chose
Chapter 7: The Beginning of Part 4

The Capital of Eldrea.  A city that is never deserted and always filled with people passing by. Merchants lined up in every corner of the city. They never stop to market every product.

The face of every tourist who is present is always filled with admiration for the scenery shown by this place. In addition to being a trading center, the Capital of Eldrea is also a tourist destination that cannot be missed.

Children who play running often decorate every corner of the residential area. Whether they were rich or not, they had nothing to do when they lived here. The assistance of the kingdom on its people was really so great that they could live comfortably.

Coupled with the supervision of the soldiers who are always on alert make them not need to feel worried about the danger of the bad guy. Very low crime rate makes people who live here can live quietly. A place that is really comfortable and also safe to live in

After returning from the Dungeon I and teacher finally decided to sell the Crystals we got from there to the Guild. The money we got from selling the crystal we bought some food and beer for Master.

Coincidentally the inn we occupied also opened a bar on the first floor.The bar used to be visited by adventurers who had successfully completed the mission was never empty of visitors.

“Master, we want to buy warm tomato soup, some meat and also a glass of beer.”

The teacher ordered the innkeeper after we got a seat in the corner of the bar. Followed by a thumbs up sign of understanding from the inn owner. We ended up waiting at our table with a little chat.

“Why did you order teacher beer?”

“Of course because we just finished the mission. What kind of adventurer doesn't celebrate his success with a glass of beer?”

“But I was the one working there, remember?”

“Yes, and I'm the one who gave you direction so you can sit here now, remember!?” teacher replied, raising one of his eyebrows.

I can't argue with his words. That's all true, if Master wasn't there to give me direction, maybe now I've just stayed by name without anyone knowing where I am, even my corpse would be swallowed by a dungeon.

After waiting for about 30 minutes, our food finally arrived.2 bowls of warm tomato soup and a few slices of beef bristled with sweet sour sauce is really appetizing.

I immediately ate a grilled meat dish and also tomato soup. The strong taste of the meat is really suitable combined with warm tomato soup. Really a dish that is suitable to restore stamina.

While the Master sitting in front of me only ate meat and drank his beer. Every now and then he looked around, noticing the other adventurers chatting around us.

“Hey, have you heard the rumors about the daughter of the archduke?”

We accidentally heard the conversation of the 3 adventurers sitting next to us.

“I've heard he is now the number 1 student in the academy. He is really talented, not only good at using magic but he can also use the sword very expertly.”

“Really? Didn't he just turn 13, this year? I think the rumors are only in excess right.”

The three adventurers still continued to talk about rumors regarding the archduke daughter. While Master who heard their conversation began to ponder as if he was thinking of something.

The teacher began to notice the beer in his right hand. “Hmm, academy ..?” the teacher heard their conversation.

After muttering to himself, Master began to glance at me. “I don't think that's a bad thing,” he continued.

“What do you mean Teacher?”

“I mean, it could probably be a great place to find information on Trishia and Jester.”

Hearing his words, it seemed like Master was intending to enter the academy at this time. But does he want to become a teacher at the academy? Given his nature as such I felt doubtful if Master would choose to teach in the academy.

“Are you going to be a teacher there?”

“No, I don't want to teach my magic to those incompetent children.”

I had guessed that Master would not be able to possibly teach random children from the academy, even if that child was the son of a noble at once. He would never care about caste when raising a disciple.

“Then what will you do?”

Upon hearing my question, a sly smile began to appear on that face. I didn't really understand the meaning of that smile, but I knew it wasn't a good sign.

“Why are you smiling like that, quickly stop! That's terrible,” I have a bad feeling about that smile.

Without stopping grinning, Master began to point to my face. “The only way we can get into the academy is with you being a student there.” said Master.

“What?! why should I attend the academy? After all, would someone like me be able to enter that academy? I heard the cost of the list alone is very high, just the list you know, not necessarily accepted.”

“Quiet! if it was you, I'm sure you'd be welcome. If the problem is money. Isn't there Yohan by our side?”

I thought he would say that. After being with him for these 3 months, I came to understand how shameless this teacher of mine was.

Yet even so. All the words of the Master have a point. If we need to find information that is completely confidential, then the only answer is to cooperate with people close to the nobility. And that was the son of those nobles.

“Well, maybe you're right. But still, is this all going to work? I mean maybe I'll be accepted as a student but what about you? Don't you want to be a teacher there?”

“I just have to pretend to be your Familiar, that way I don't have to bother being a teacher and I will always be by your side.”

Familiar is a pet that aims to help its owner in the fight, either by participating in the attack or providing support in the fight.

Usually a familiar is an animal filled with magic abilities, but there are also familiars who do not have magic abilities. Instead the familiar used his body's strength to fight. Familiar shapes themselves can vary, so there are no specific criteria that determine whether a particular animal can be familiar or not.

“Can you really fight when you're a bird?”

“Of course, who do you think I am?” the teacher bragged about himself.

“You are my student, you must be able to help yourself.” He said that while drinking his beer.

You little granny, if she could use her magic when she's a bird. He should have helped me when I was cornered. Does he not care if I die inside the dungeon?

I let out a long sigh and started glancing towards Master. “Hah, if I make a little mistake I can die you know ..”

“Sure.” He said it as if he didn't care about my safety.

“Basic grandma attachments!” I accidentally broke my heart.

“Did you say brat?” He then took out a fire from his hand and made all eyes on us.

Because of the panic with the reaction that Master gave, and also all the attention that was directed at us. I'm trying

calms the Master by trying to hold his hand.

“Ti-no Teacher, forgive me.”

“Sial, you're lucky I'm in a good mood, so I didn't burn you alive.”

Gulp!

I gulped at the thought of what would happen to me if I made him angry. From now on I have to be more careful. The attention of the adventurers caused by the teacher also continued to lead to us. This situation makes me very awkward.

We finally decided to immediately go to our room which was on the 2nd floor to rest after finishing eating, especially since all that attention made me uncomfortable to linger down there.

“Haaa, I want to shower soon,” said Master upon arrival in our room.

It is true that in this inn that we occupy there is a bathroom that can be used by every guest. They also provide warm water that is very suitable for use after a full day's work.

The teacher began to store his luggage at the table in the room and began to step towards the bathroom located at the end of the 2nd floor corridor. We decided to take a shower in turn.

Waiting for the teacher to finish the shower. I lay staring at the ceiling of the room and thought of all the conversations we had downstairs. Academy, huh? That sounds pretty interesting. I was also curious as to what the abilities of the children my age were.

“Yosh! I'd better practice, I should be able to get stronger again from now on.”

I took a cross-legged position, and started meditating. I try to focus on getting the mana around me to my heart. Unlike my first experience, now I can freely absorb mana and channel it in my body.

The shadow of such a complicated ring in my heart I can see more clearly now. I don't know because I'm excited or anything, but I think I can enter Circle 4 right now. I continued to focus on opening Circle 4.

A warm and gentle feeling then entered my body. This it? This was the feeling I felt when I finished opening the other Circle in my heart. I succeeded! I jumped up in joy on the bed. Dissolved in pleasure for successfully reaching circle 4.

Crews!

The sound from the open door stopped my activity, seen Master who had just finished bathing entering the room with wet hair and a towel wrapped around her body. The teacher at the door began to watch me closely, as if he knew that I had just reached Circle 4.

“Hoo, looks like you just opened Circle to 4.”

“Well, I never thought I could reach this level now. It seems like all this happened because I was a little excited to enter the academy.”

“Hah, you monster! No one should be able to cross the boundaries of his own just with spirit.” A warm smile was seen from the teacher's face.

Right, I realize that my development is absurd, humans shouldn't develop this fast. But even so, I also know someone who has a greater talent than myself, he is standing right in front of me.

“You should look in the mirror when you say that, Teacher. Wouldn't compared to you I'm nothing?”

“That's true, but it's because I'm a genius. Then what about you? Any luck? I don't think so, it looks like the gods have given you a blessing.”

Lord .. I think it's true, when compared to teachers, I'm not a genius. Then is this all true because of the blessing of the gods? It could be, considering my strength came from the prayer of that time.

“Now, but you may be right Guru.”

“But it doesn't matter right now, what's even more important is, have you decided to go in

academy?”

“You said as if to give me the option to refuse.”

“Haha! It's true that I can't allow you to refuse to enter the academy.”

I sighed and began to glance towards Master. “Already. Have you finished your bath?”

“Yups! You better take a shower before it gets night. I'll go see you, Yohan first now. You go to bed first if I haven't come home when you're done showering.”

“Oke.”

I went straight to the bathroom, while Master, who had been wearing clothes, started to go to meet Yohan in her office.

The warm water in the tub began to relax me. After a day of running around against the monsters within the Dungeon, I can finally relax a little now. I can't wait to go to the academy and meet kids my age.

While imagining my life in the academy, my eyes started to feel heavy because of the hot water I was wearing to soak. Without me noticing, I ended up falling asleep in the tub right then and there.
