Chapter 580 Into The Academy, We Go
Who can tell them why the small alleyway had now transformed into a massive entryway, enough to fit them all in? Amazing! It's just like the situation with the magic tent that seems small on the outside but enormous on the inside. But it seems that if ordinary people without the acceptance slips walk in, they won't see what they are seeing, and neither will they be taken anywhere. This fact made many of them release collective sighs of relief, not wanting ordinary people and even crooks to see what their eyes have been blessed to see. Now gathered, were several people from different units, as well as other ordinary people. Everyone was growing anxious by the minute, so much that it didn't take long before their hands grew clammy. While in wait, many began whispering with jumpy eyes, expressing their thoughts on the matter. Of course, their eyes subconsciously glanced at their watches from time to time, secretly doing countdowns in their hearts. And when it was just 2 minutes more, the whispers slowly finished, as everyone was too nervous to hold conversation right now. All around the world, several stood with itchy bodies, shifting left to right, right to left, feeling their hearts jumping with every second that passed them by. ~Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Shhhh!!! Several people were even annoyed with others who were talking right now. Can't you see they only have 40 seconds left before the portal becomes visible? (*^*)
…
Standing before these spaces where the portals are supposed to appear, where several elders and top disciples.
It can be seen that in all locations scattered around the globe, there would be at least 1 elder or 3 disciples there. They stood upright with poise, like immortal statues before a grand entranceway. What to expect? What exactly will the portal look like? 6 seconds more… Several people clenched their butts subconsciously. 5… Their throats went dry, as though they were in the desert. 4… 3… 2… 1… 2… 1… Wzzz!!~
A massive swirling, iridescent circle suddenly appeared on the alleyways wall ahead, radiating vibrant hues of blue, green, and gold. What were they looking at? (0?0)
It appeared out of nowhere, with its edges shimmer like liquid light, pulsating with energy.
The giant circular vortex swirled in a mesmerizing way, as though about to suck everyone in. How to describe the feeling everyone was getting right now?
"Incredible…" Many murmured underneath their breaths. But wait, what's going on now?
. Whoosh! The portal began to swirl more and more, changing its form only its golden outline now took the shape of a mighty double-sided door. How to say it? They looked like ants before the door. And now, over 50 people enter at once. Wasn't that incredible? Old Bho and Bho Jin looked at each other tactfully, taking deep breaths and walking onwards too. Cang Ingard, Lishu, and Zee Ingard were also there, walking onwards, as though marching towards a promised land. Kletus and Khalea were no different, finding their feets moving towards the warm golden doorway before their bodies could react. And in the gateway they were at, Butler Sheng was the one who would take them in, while 2 disciples stayed back to watch the alleyway for others who may come on later times. Afterall, anyone could technically come in at any time, but the trick was that they must get to the Academy's main site before 7 PM. Why? Because after this time, the many forest regions and territories within the Academy's hidden world, would definitely tear them apart. It's best to go early, since they were all mortals right now, and the journey might take hours to accomplish. "Follow me…" Butler Sheng's voice resounded out like a heavenly commas, as he now walked through the portal with an expressionless face. "Ah!-" Many woke up from their stupor, tightening their grips on their backpacks and heading in without delay. Several supervisors, Marine, Police, Navy and Military leaders, all thinned their lips, knowing that today marked a historical event in their hearts. "Where are your letters?" "Quickly! Hold them out!"
Several people were truly sweating buckets when looking at their subordinates who awakened from their stupor. Bastards! Do you want to be kicked out or worse expelled? ('0')
Like worried mother hens looking after their chicks, these leaders felt their little hearts bouncing up and down unrhythmically. And as earlier instructed, they held their acceptance letters while crossing the giant door, fearful that they might be kicked out if they didn't do so. But what was incredible, was that the split second they passed through the portal, their acceptance letters now returned into rings with strange symbols carved in them, as well as words that seemed to hide mystery behind them. <To those who wear, only a spell can rid.>
Eh? What does this mean? A riddle? A hidden puzzle they must one day solve? Well, their concern for the matter only lasted for a second because only after stepping into the portal did they realize they were now falling at an incredible speed!
Ahhhhhh!!!
Several people flared their hands like birds and already sweating buckets mid-fall, now understanding why they were all told to brace themselves. (:T?T:)
Dammit! Were they all brought in here just to die? Just when they thought their bodies would violently slap onto the waters below, several 'ducks' below, now kicked against the waters, flying sky high to catch them all.
It was amazing that before they landed on these 'ducks,' a strange forcefield lowered their falling speeds, making them land softly on the 'ducks.'
This… "Dad… It's a leaf!" Khalea exclaimed. It was a giant leaf that could support 30 people all at once. But when it was down on the water shores, it moved like a duck. Wipe! What sort of sorcery was this? Looking all around her, Khalea realized that there were over 200 leaves jumping about to catch people. They jumped like ducks and swans, with their long leaf-stem-like necks moving animatedly. Holding the leafy rating, Khalea looked at the incredulous sight, feeling truly alive for the first time in a long while. Magician… 'I swear, I will become the greatest magician, worthy of humanity's praise!'
