Chapter 66: Elyndor Academy [2]
While the students left for their accommodation in vehicles,
Aelar and Elisa looked at the departing vehicles.
Then Aelar said, "Is that the son of Selena Astrean, the one who is supposed to be a genius far greater than his mother?"
Elisa just nodded.
Aelar then looked at her and said, "He does not seem that special. His cultivation is also not that high. Is he really as strong as the rumours say?"
Elisa shook her head and said, "He is not as strong as the rumours make him out to be."
Aelar then said, "I thought so. Rumours are exaggerated."
But Elisa then continued, "He is much stronger than the rumours claim him to be, and he also wishes to be free. Even though there is no freedom in this world, everyone is bound to something, but he does not understand that."
Aelar looked at Elisa for a moment and then said, "Ohh, is he really that strong? Then it will be fun to see him fight against the Elf Princess, who is blessed by nature."
Then he stopped for a moment and said, "As for him wanting freedom, he is just a teenager. He does not understand the world. When he grows up, he will understand the world and stop thinking about freedom and accept the truth."
Elisa looked at Aelar and said, "It will be good if he understands that."
Aelar then looked at her and said, "Stop thinking about it and let’s go. Let me show you your accommodation, then let’s talk while drinking. It’s been a long time since we last met, we have many things to catch up on."
Elisa looked at him and said, "Yeah, let’s drink tonight. It will probably be the last day I can enjoy myself and relieve my stress, since from today I am sure that kid will probably get into some trouble."
Aelar looked at her with confusion and said, "You are just overthinking. Nothing will happen. That kid does not seem like someone who likes to cause trouble, he seems innocent and kind like his mother."
Elisa stared at Aelar for a moment and then said in a serious tone, "You are only saying that because you have not seen him fighting. Whatever, you will know soon enough. No need to explain it now, let’s just go."
Then Elisa went towards the vehicle especially arranged for the professors.
Aelar was confused by Elisa’s words but did not think much about them and then followed after her.
Meanwhile, in the students’ vehicle,
Asher was sitting by the window seat and was looking outside.
There were tall trees on both sides of the road.
And there was a small park every hundred meters.
Asher then said, "They really like nature."
Aria just nodded.
Then Asher just kept looking outside the window for most of the journey.
And after fifteen minutes, they finally saw Elyndor Academy.
As soon as they saw Elyndor Academy, everyone looked outside the window.
There were tall trees everywhere and buildings blended perfectly with nature.
Noah looked outside and said, "This place looks more like a forest than an academy."
Adam nodded and said, "Yeah."
Aria also looked outside quietly.
Meanwhile Asher was looking around with interest.
The vehicle soon entered the academy.
Asher looked outside and said, "They really like trees."
Asher then continued, "They must have a lot of fruits too. I am really excited to try all of them."
Everyone near him looked at him and just sighed.
Then they all exited the vehicle.
After leaving the vehicles, they were led to their accommodation by the Academy staff.
On the way, they saw many students of different races looking at them with curiosity.
After walking for a bit, they reached the northern part of the Academy. There were not any students present there. It was probably only used for the humans that came from Aetherium Academy every year.
Every group had a different building to live in for their whole stay.
The higher the rankings, the better the building.
Even on a trip, the Academy was making sure that competition did not slow down.
Then the Academy staff gave a card to every student which contained their information. Using it, they could unlock the room assigned to them, and with it they could also access their whole class schedule, which would start from tomorrow. It also provided them with a map and the rules of the Academy.
Then everyone went to their respective rooms to unpack their belongings and rest for some time before dinner started.
After giving the card to every student and giving instructions on how to use it, the Elyndor Academy left.
Asher then looked at his teammates and said, "Let’s meet at dinner. I am going to take a bath now."
They all nodded and went to their rooms.
Asher went towards his room and unlocked it by scanning his card at the scanner beside the entrance.
After verifying the card, the door unlocked.
Then Asher entered his room and looked at it. It was just like his room at Aetherium Academy.
Then Asher took a long refreshing bath to relieve the stress caused by the five-hour journey.
After taking bath and changing to his clothes.
He lay down on his bed to rest for some time before dinner started.
He just watched some videos on the internet to pass the time.
Soon it was 8 PM.
The time for dinner.
Then he stood up from his bed and went to the cafeteria, which was on the ground floor of the same building.
When he reached the cafeteria, not a single student had arrived. They were probably still resting or doing something else.
The food was prepared by Elf chefs.
Most of the dishes were vegetarian.
Asher looked at the dishes and then thought, if they really like nature this much, then why do they eat it? Their thinking is really weird.
Or maybe they just do not serve much meat because many students here are half-animal.
