CHAPTER 19: BACK TO THE AIR BALLON

Myro immediately sat under a tree where he often stayed during this magic academy test. Myro immediately said "Our plan worked, fortunately you have detected that not only the presence of a junior mage is approaching. But there is also the presence of the head of the Magical Plants Academy who is also approaching towards me. So, I ran south to lure the junior mage away. so that her whereabouts are known to the head of the Magical Herbs Academy. We don't have to bother to kill the junior mages ourselves. Therefore you don't have to act alone and risk getting caught by the head of the Magical Plants Academy right, Shar?".

A figure appeared behind Myro suddenly. The figure was Shar who was kneeling on one leg and said "But young master, I still don't agree with such a plan. Putting you at risk like that is not right. Even though I continue to guard you secretly, but we must always be prepared for the worst."

Seeing Shar who was angry because of Myro's plan, Myro couldn't help but smile and said "Yes, I will try not to repeat it. But this plan is the most profitable plan. If you killed that junior mage, then suddenly the head of the Magical Plant Academy came to help me and saw your whereabouts. So we were forced to kill him to keep your whereabouts a secret. After all, you are like a hidden weapon that will protect me from the darkness. So the less people know about your whereabouts the better."

"I still don't agree," said Shar stubbornly.

Myro couldn't help but smile bitterly and said "Alright, I'll try not to do anything risky again".

Then, Myro started to open the pouch that the junior mage had. Seeing the contents in the pouch empty, Myro was shocked and immediately said "How could it be empty? This is a junior mage's pouch, at least there are a lot of magic crystals right?".

"Young master, this is a dimensional storage pouch made by a dimensional wizard. You have to drain your mana to open the contents of the pouch. According to the magic runes in the pouch, I think this pouch is about 5 x 5 meters in size which is classified as the cheapest and smallest dimension storage bag on the market", said Fay.

Hearing that Myro was surprised. In the previous world, Myro had read many stories describing this dimensional pouch. But in these stories most of the storage tools are not in the form of a bag but in the form of a ring which is often called a dimension ring.

Myro immediately drained the mana he had towards the dimensional pocket. Myro immediately sensed a space of 5 x 5 meters. Inside the room, Myro could see hundreds of elementless magic crystals and several books on dark magic. The books were of no use to Myro, after all he had no match for the dark element. Myro immediately took out a magic crystal that looked the strangest on its own compared to other magic crystals. The magic crystal was larger in size and had denser mana in it. Inside the pouch, there is only 1 magic crystal like this. Therefore, Myro looked at the magic crystal and felt strange. What magic crystal is this?

Seeing Myro who looked confused while looking at the magic crystal, Shar immediately replied "Young master, what you saw was an intermediate magic crystal. The magic crystal you absorbed before to become a tier 1 apprentice magician was a low grade magic crystal. A magic crystal a mid-level magic crystal is equivalent to 100 low-level magic crystals. Even if you use it for cultivation, then a mid-level magic crystal can form 100 mana balls for you if you absorb all the mana strands in the mid-level magic crystal".

Hearing Shar's words, Myro nodded then immediately gave the dimensional pouch to Shardan said "Then you can keep the dimensional pouch first. If I keep it, maybe the magicians in the Dark Academy will find out. Then I will cultivate first. around you, Shar".

"Yes, young master", said Shar taking the dimensional pouch and then starting to disappear.

"Okay, then let's start", Myro said then started to absorb the mid-level magic crystal.

...........

Time passed quickly, Myro opened his eyes and started to stand up and stretch his stiff body from sitting too long. He looked at the middle grade crystal in his hand which was empty without a single strand. Myro threw away the middle grade mana crystal that was no longer valid due to losing his mana strand and immediately said "Shar, how many days has it been now?".

As usual, a figure appeared behind Myro kneeling down and said "Young master, it's the last day of the students' tests and the time you and the other students will return to the hot air balloon".

"The time for the test is over. Well, thank you Shar for your hard work taking care of me while cultivating," said Myro.

"It doesn't matter young master, it's my duty", said Shar then his figure started to disappear again quickly.

Myro was confused to see Shar who was in a hurry to disappear. But he could immediately see a magic circle at his feet. Instantly a bright light appeared in the forest and the disciples in the forest began to disappear. Myro also disappeared from the forest.

Myro felt a light so bright that he had to close his eyes again. Myro started to slowly open his eyes as the light began to fade. In front of Myro were many students who seemed to be teleported just like himself. At this time the blue sky above was covered by a sky made of iron. Myro realized he was in the hot air balloon again. But around this time it's not like in the previous hot air balloon. Currently around the disciples there were many doors with various symbols on them. Each door is guarded by several wizards with various colors and symbols on their robes.

A person in a white robe appeared in front of the participants, the white robe mage immediately said "Ladies and gentlemen. Those of you in the room right now are people who have passed the test and deserve to enter the magic academy. Around you are various doors. with various mages ready to accept your registration. You can immediately go to the door where your magic academy's destination is. Alright then, you can start making your decisions".

After saying that, the white robe mage immediately disappeared again with teleportation magic. The disciples immediately fell silent for a while then they shouted with great joy. Some students even cried because they had achieved their dream of entering a magic academy.

Seeing that scene, the surrounding magicians who were guarding the door just smiled. They seemed to be remembering their past selves who were also doing the same with the disciples in front of them at this time. After the excitement, the students started looking for the door which was the magic academy they wanted to join.

Myro immediately walked over and looked at the doors around and said to himself "Alright, time to find a magic academy".
