Chapter 56: The Arcane Department

Master Yun speared no formalities every of this words precise and decisive."it about time I introduce you two, since you are the new advance initiates of the Arcane department, advance class". He turned to Cheol Su, his gaze taking in the young evolver's confident stance. "Yuer Mo, I introduce to you Cheol Su. His aloof nature is tempered by a sharp wit and a knack for magic that belies his young age. Cheol Su, meet Yuer Mo, a prodigy among evolvers, her talent matched only by her cool demeanor and her mastery over the elements."

Yuer Mo gave a slight nod, her expression neutral as she acknowledged the introduction. Cheol Su met her gaze, his lips curving into a wry smile.

Yuer Mo, unfazed by Cheol Su's wry smile, raised a single eyebrow, the faintest hint of a challenge lurking in the depths of her expression. "Pleasure to meet you, Cheol Su. I trust your reputation as an up-and-coming master evolver precedes you." Her tone was measured and controlled, betraying nothing of her thoughts or feelings.

Cheol Su met her gaze with a smirk, his amusement clear despite the weight of their situation. "Oh, my reputation? "Yes, your reputation," Yuer Mo replied, her voice laced with a hint of amusement. "From what I hear, you're quite extraordinary and troublemaker. First awakening as a level 3 intermediate evolver, which is unheard of, then becoming an advanced level evolver and earning the title of a multi magic class evolver, also brawling with one of the instructors? And on top of that gaining a double promotion to the Arcane department of the advanced class Colorful start, wouldn't you say?"

Cheol Su face lights up in shock how do you know about me, he asks. "If you keep going around causing a stir, it only normal ambitious people would go to any length of research on you, so you don't end up taking their place" she exclaims.

Cheol Su chuckled, a wide smirk spreading across his face. "Just keeping things interesting," he retorted, a mischievous glint in his eye. "I can't help but stir things up. It's in my nature, you see."

Master Yun's stern expression softened, his eyes warming with a touch of pride as he watched Cheol Su engage in their verbal sparring. "I see the cheeky boy who gave us all such a headache has found himself a worthy opponent," he mused, a hint of nostalgia coloring his voice.

"Ah, Master Yun," Cheol Su quipped, his grin growing even wider. "Always with the backhanded compliments." He shot a playful look at Yuer Mo, his eyes dancing with mischief. "I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy this advanced class far more than I thought."

Master Yun let out a mischievous laugh before his turning his expression serious again, his attention refocusing on the task at hand. "Enough banter, you two. It's time to meet your new comrades." With that, he led them through the doors of the Arcane and Elemental Studies department.

As they stepped inside, a group of evolvers turned to face them, each with their own unique style and bearing. At the head of the group stood a tall, statuesque woman with icy blue eyes and pale skin. Her hair, a shock of pure white, cascaded down her back in an elaborate braid. Cheol Su's system identified her as Elsa, an Ice Sorceress of advanced level 8. Beside her stood a wiry young man with jet-black hair, his face marred by a jagged scar that ran from temple to jawline. He was Kai, a Fire Mage at level 7. , follows Wu Long, a level 7 Transmuter with a penchant for metallurgy. These three formed the upper echelon of the Arcane and Elemental Studies department, their prowess as evolvers widely known throughout the advanced departmental classes of the academy.

Beside Wu Long stood Zhu Qi, a Water Mage of level 6 who excelled in hydrokinesis. Next to her was Xiu Ying, a Wood Witch with level 5 expertise in manipulating plant life. Then there was Jin Hai, a Wind Master of level 5 with impressive aerokinetic abilities. These guys comprised the backbone of the department, their skills and experience formidable even among their fellow evolvers.

At the back of the group stood Lian, a young man of unassuming appearance. His class, Shadow Weave, was rare and little understood, making him an enigma even among his peers.

Master Yun motioned for Yuer Mo and Cheol Su to step forward.

"We have two new members joining the ranks of our advanced class today," he said, pride coloring his voice once more. "Yuer Mo, a War Magus of level 6, and Cheol Su, the multi magic class evolver of level 6."

Elsa's gaze shifted between the two newcomers, her icy stare sizing them up. "Impressive credentials," she said, her voice carrying a tone of challenge. "I hope you'll be able to keep up with the rest of us."

"The academy has high hopes for you both." Master Yun says, turning to Cheol Su and Yuer Mo, a hint of intrigue in his voice, try fitting in he says," before motioning out of the class.

Cheol Su, I know that guy says Wu Long, he is quite famous even in the advanced departmental classes, to think he would be promoted to this department. The mention of Cheol Su's fame sent a ripple of whispers through the group. Elsa, her gaze sharpening, arched a single perfect eyebrow. "Famous indeed," she said, a hint of skepticism lacing her voice. "We shall see if you're as formidable as your reputation suggests."
