Thaddeus took out a token from his storage device and pressed it on the surface of the mountain.
The terrain in that spot moved and created an entrance large three meters on the ground.
It resembled any other underground cavern if not for the fact that the daylight shone inside the passage as if it wasn't a subterranean area at all.
The professors didn't speak and simply crossed the entrance.
The students behind them followed and were stupefied at the sight on the other side of the passage.
Buildings of various height stood in an orderly way on an illuminated plain.
There was a long river that divided the plain into two parts and birds sang from the vivid red trees planted in some areas.
Noah raised his gaze toward the sky and was amazed to discover that they were still inside the mountain as the roots of the trees were hanging from the ceiling.
However, the terrain of the mountain from its insides was completely transparent which allowed those in the interiors to clearly see the environment outside of it.
'How many things are possible thanks to the "Breath"?'
Noah did another comparison with his previous world.
Even though something like that could have been achieved with the technology, the effects were far more marvelous when it was the "Breath" that powered the process.
Thaddeus turned and faced the students.
"We will wait here a bit. Those that bought their ingress will be teleported from the matrix in the Royal city directly here. Once they arrive, I will explain your duties as students."
Ten minutes passed and soft light illuminated an area at fifty meters from their position.
Twenty-five youths led by a woman in golden armor appeared from the formation on the ground.
The woman bowed toward the professors and joined their group.
Thaddeus smiled and spoke to her in a warm tone.
"Sister, your timing is impeccable."
She smiled too and looked at the students in his group as if searching for someone.
Then her gaze stopped on Noah and remained fixed on him for a few seconds.
She then faced Thaddeus again and spoke.
"It seems that these years will be interesting."
Thaddeus nodded and stole a glance in Noah's direction.
"Incredibly interesting."
She then gestured to her students to join the other group.
It was clear that those that earned they ingress thanks to their qualities felt superior to the others and a bit of scorn was present in their eyes as they saw them coming close.
'That noble is here too.'
Noah spotted Samuel Muwlos' figure between the newly arrived and shook his head cursing his ever-present bad luck.
Thaddeus then raised his hand to attract everyone's attention and began to speak.
"You are now officially part of the Royal Academy. A token will be given to you which allows you free ingress here and that will register your merit points. You will need to swear an oath before that but don't worry, it's nothing too restrictive. There will be open lessons during the first week of your enrollment to give you a general idea of all the topics that are taught here. At the end of this week, you will be requested to attend a test that will evaluate your nature. The results of the test will be known only to you but they will help you greatly in choosing the courses more suitable for your disposition."
