Chat Group For Magicians
/ Chat Group For Magicians 27 Meeting the Council
"Relax Kazuma, being nervous is not a good idea you know, it would only raise the pressure you are feeling right now," Moonlight said to me.
Itazura stays quiet and only plays with her star ball around. If I was able to become a magician this time, I need to train Itazura and teach her about the human culture that will help me reduce the burden of my problems that she causes.
Ding!
The elevator shook a bit before the automatic doors opened. What made me stunned is the place itself. Is this underground? Why am I not believing this is underground itself?
The whole place looks like a paradise. The place is filled with grasses and flowers. The wind is blowing and I can feel that its a fresh and unpolluted wind, unlike the cities' wind. I can also see a flowing river in the distance and saw a few animals like deer, squirrels, birds, those animals seen in prairies, they are common here. I look back from where we come and the elevator door stood there like some sort of weird portal appearing. I also noticed that the sky was different. Although Moonlight said that we are underground, staring at the 'sky' of this area made me wonder if I was outside the outer space for me to see a nebula background. The stars twinkle and the colorful gases made me wonder if it is real gases or just illusion.
"What place is this?" I asked Moonlight.
"This is the place called the Mana Land. Although we are underground, this place is considered as one of the safest place a magician can enter. All of the things you are seeing are real, birds, tress, animals and whatever scenery you see is real here," Moonlight said and pick out one pink flower into the ground.
Itazura's eyes twinkled and she plays around, skipping playfully without care in the world. Since Moonlight said this place is called Mana Land, then this place must be abundant with mana. When I tried to activate the Mana Sense, my head hurts all of a sudden. Moonlight quickly supported me before I fall down and looked at me.
"What was that...?" I tried catching my breath. The pain that suddenly rushes through my head made me lightheaded and dizzy. What a strong surge of mana! You were like being splashed by a wave of the ocean during a storm!
"What did you do?" Moonlight looked at me and saw my poor state.
"I tried scanning the amount of mana in this place and I regretted it," I said to her as I recover.
"Haha, I forgot to inform you that the mana is so dense here that if you try to sense it, you will instead feel bad in your head. I was about to warn you but you already did it, now you know that you shouldn't do it here," Moonlight chuckled as we go further.
I thought that we would be walking to the area like an underground parking lot but my expectation was crushed. This place is more like a hidden paradise. Is this still the underground of Tsutenkaku Tower or not? Are we able to go to the other world? Many questions rose inside my mind and before I knew it, I realized that we are walking to an expanse filled with tall trees. However, these trees looks more like pillars. Every tree trunk has a runic engravings in them. Also, its not only us are here but a few more people are also here.
When I looked around, these people looked rich just by looking at their clothes. There were many of them that looks like they are going to the party.
"What is going on? So many people that are on formal attire. Is there anything that will happen later?" I asked Moonlight.
"Oh, many magicians are informed that the Oracle is going out so to meet with the great Oracle, they had to pay a visit," Moonlight answered.
"Have you seen this so called Oracle?" I asked to her. I am getting curious on who this Oracle that Zacharias and Moonlight are talking about.
"Only once. I did not really have the full privilege of seeing her. Zacharias is the only one who is able to see her whenever he wanted to," Moonlight said.
"Zacharias?"
"Oops, perhaps I said too much, anyways, you are lucky that the Oracle herself is going to meet with you. Only a few individual can take a look at her. We are getting late, we need to reach the Council at once," Moonlight dragged me and briskly walk to the crowd. Although I was left hanging, I am getting curious more on why did this Oracle is something of an importance.
Soon enough, in the middle of expanse of trees is a building that looks like the white house of USA is erected. But then, I wondered, how can this building be built underground. The three of us stood outside the building. When I was about to step in, I realized that Itazura and Moonlight are not following me.

"Hey, what is going on? Why are you leaving me?" I asked.
"You are the only one allowed to get inside. I am merely the one who delivered you to the council. The council themselves specify only you so I am not going to enter the place. Even Itazura is forbidden. Don't worry, we won't go back without you with us,"Moonlight reassured me.
Wow, its so strict. Meeting the council takes a lot of effort? Anyway, since Moonlight and Itazura can't go, only me is able to go to and meet the council. Meaning, only I alone and no one else will be with me on facing the magicians on that council.
I heaved a nervous sigh, before stepping to the stairs and enter the place. The whole place is exuding with strong power making me realized that this place is considered to be a place where the higher up magicians are allowed to venture.
I enter the massive doors and saw that the whole place is glittering with glowing balls. They have random colors, making the place wonderful in the eyes. I tried touching one but it just pass through me like it was just an ethereal object. I shrugged and decided to continue on. The place is huge but I can barely see any kinds of structure.
I keep on walking and arrived in a hallway. There are no doors so my destination is one way. It did not take me long to arrive on the very end. The end has a big door engraved with runic symbols and on the side are two statues with human bodies with dog heads. I remembered that this statue represent the God of Afterlife in Egypt, Anubis.
I stood in front of the door and was about to open the door when someone talked.
"State your name and business, young magician."
I was startled and looked around the place but no one is around.
"Is that a ghost talking?" I mumbled to myself but then, again, the voice muttered once again.
"Ghost exists but they are just ethereal beings. Unless they contain hatred and grudges, they can only scare you," the voice once again said.
I looked around frantically and noticed that one of the statues of Anubis is looking at me.
"Are you the one talking?" I pointed at the peculiar statue.
"Do you have a problem with a talking statue?"
I quickly shook my head.
"Then, state your name and your business to the council. Time is precious young man," the statue said.
"Ah... My name is Kazuma and I was invited here to get my Insignia and meet the Council of Magicians," I said.
"Ah, it is you, the. get in. They are waiting for you," the statue said and I heard a click sound.
I saw the door open on its own and I slowly got inside the room. Inside the room is a round table with 12 chairs around. The room also have 12 doors in them. On the twelve chairs are twelve people. To be precise, its six guys and six gals. All of them exude different auras of superiority.
"You are Kazuma right? You are in the presence of the Twelve Councilors. We are congratulating you for becoming a full- fledged magician. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Zacharias, nice to meet you in reality."
