CHAPTER 8 : DEPARTURE

The three witches looked at each other. No one dared to interrupt their conversation. After all they were magicians while the rest were just villagers. So the villagers just fell silent and looked at these three magicians in surprise.

Seeing that the other two magicians were still silent. The white robe mage immediately said "Then I will tell the head of the Magical Plants Academy not to send people to recruit this child now. But we, the Magical Plants Academy will stop at nothing to recruit this child. Then, I will go first".

After that the white robe mage started to fly away. The white-robed old man also looked at Myro and said "Son, come over to the Bright Light Academy later, we definitely won't let you down".

Then the old man also flew and left. The female mage also smiled and said goodbye slightly before leaving. The female mage besides being a teacher of the Battle Flame Academy, she also acts as an observer by the magic academy so that the testing mages don't cheat and try to recruit students first before the students get to the magic academy's territory.

After all the magicians left, the entire village was still silent. Even Myro's parents were so shocked they didn't say anything. Seeing the strange situation, Myro immediately said "Father, mother let's go home first".

"Yes, yes you are right. Let's go home first," Myro's father said then started to turn around with Myro's mother and the three of them walked back to the house.

After the Myro family left, the whole village was in an uproar. Their village could also have people who were talented as magicians. Even the magicians from the academy tried to recruit him directly.

At Myro's house,

Myro and his family were currently having dinner. Myro also told all the events that he experienced today. Myro's parents also agreed with Myro wanting to go to a magic academy. Even after Myro came to the magic academy, it would obviously be difficult for Myro to return home. After all, students can't just leave the academy and go back to their homes just like that. Students must live in a residence provided by the academy and can only return home for at least 1 year. Therefore Myro's parents were quite sad but they still supported and encouraged Myro to go to the academy.

Three days passed quickly, Finally the day for Myro to the magic academy has arrived. Currently, a white-robed mage, an old man in a white robe and a female mage were waiting in front of Myro village.

Myro's parents would give Myro money to spend in the magic academy. But seeing that, the white robe mage said "No need to give money, bronze, silver, gold or big gold coins don't apply in magic academy. The currency there is magic crystal. So, you don't need to give Myro money.".

Hearing the white robe mage's words, Myro's parents became worried. If the coin is not valid then they cannot give Myro the money. They were worried that if Myro had no money then how would Myro pay for his meals, academy fees and others.

Seeing the worries of Myro's parents, the white robed old man smiled and said "Don't worry, the academy will first give loan money to students from ordinary families. After that these students can pay back when they can earn the money. stay and food at the academy is free for students. So you don't have to worry".

Hearing that, Myro's parents calmed down a bit. Myro immediately said goodbye to his parents and the villagers then walked towards the three magicians and bowed slightly to greet them

"Sorry I'm late," Myro said.

The white-robed old man smiled. He said "No problem, we also just arrived anyway".

Myro nodded while thinking in his mind. In some of the books he often read, the magicians were very cruel. They treat others unkindly. They don't even really care about the safety of their students. Therefore, almost every year, many students in the academy would die while hunting monsters or performing tasks from the academy. Even according to the book, there were some students who died because other students were killed by various reasons such as revenge. Magicians have their own business and think that the safety of their students' lives depends on the abilities of the students themselves.

But the magicians who came to Myro here were very friendly. Was it because they were from a good academy because the old man in white robes was a mage from the Bright Light Academy which was more towards goodness than the Academy which was towards the dark element. It was also possible that they were being nice because of Myro's talent. Myro didn't think much of it anymore and looked around confusedly and said "Master wizard, how do we go to the magic academy?".

Myro looked around the area and there was no means of transportation such as a horse carriage. Magicians may be able to fly but they can't fly very far because

Their mana (energy) is limited so they can't fly too far. Myro village was located very far from the magic academy's territory. So it was impossible for the magicians to fly there. Moreover, Myro can't fly. Therefore, Myro was currently confused about how to go to the magic academy.

The white robed old man smiled and said "Soon you will see it, look above it has arrived".

Myro immediately looked up. At this moment far in the sky there was a small black shadow that seemed to be slowly approaching here. After the object got closer, Myro could finally figure out what the object in the sky was.

The white-robed old man immediately said "It's called a hot air balloon. It's powered by wind-type magic crystals and can accommodate thousands of people to fly in the sky. There you'll see, other people who also have magical talent like you. Everyone The talent to become magicians in all five kingdoms on the continent of destiny will gather in the magic academy area. While this hot air balloon is a hot air balloon for picking up magic talent around the area of ​​the Iron Bear Kingdom".

Myro listened to the old man's words and nodded. This hot air balloon similar to the one on earth is called a zeppelin hot air balloon. The biggest difference in this world was the flying zeppelin using energy from wind type magic crystals.

"Okay then, let's start", said the female witch then a magic circle appeared under the feet of Myro and the three witches.

"Teleport", said the witch.

Then Myro's parents and the villagers looked on in surprise. Myro and the three magicians disappeared instantly. The villagers could only say "As expected of a magician".

A bright light blinded Myro's eyes so he had to close them. As the light began to dissipate, Myro slowly opened his eyes and could see that the area around him had changed. Right now Myro and the three magicians were in an empty room whose surroundings were covered by an iron wall.

the old man in white robes said to Myro "We have arrived in the hot air balloon".
