I get one shock after another. This much is unthinkable for me.
Every item in here can cause war in the outside world. One of the rarest items in this novel is soul-bound things.
These things are hard to find as they are special from the moment they were created. They grow along with the user and always stay as a powerful assistance to the user.
In critical moments they can save the life of the user. One thing is for sure every soul-bound tool or equipment is unique in its way.
The skill and mask are a perfect match for each other. One can disguise the look and the other can disguise the rank and strength.
I can imagine different ways to use these two to get many things I want or to do something I dare not to do before.
The token comes with a life-saving skill. It also has some good skills. Its buff is quite good.
The potion is a true trump card. In case of extreme, this potion may give you another life.
I felt satisfied with the things offered by the iris. It seems my decision to join this school is right.
I put away the things and speak to the iris.
"Mr. Iris. I have some questions. How many members or students are part of this school? Can I meet them and where is the main location of the school? What facilities does the school provide to the students? Are there teachers present to teach the students or its self-study system? What responsibilities do I have to take as the core student of this school?" ( David )
" first of all do not call me Mr. or Miss. You can just call me an iris or guardian. I leave that to you. Currently, you are the only student present in the entire school. The main location of the school is right here." ( iris )
Saying this the iris lifted its hand and waved it. The fog covering the majority of the area dispersed. Lots of buildings appeared after the fog was cleared.
But my mind is stuck on the first answer. Only one student. Are you kidding me? Just a moment ago I was praising myself for choosing this organization and now I am regrating my choice.
Ignoring my inner turmoil Iris continued to explain the functions of these buildings.
"Each of the buildings has a unique function. With enough shadow energy units or shadow units, you can use them to increase your strength. Every building requires some shadow energy units to use them. Each building has a different level according to the status of the student. Currently, some old professors are present in their soul form. Most of them are in deep slumber If you have any questions regarding anything you can consult them when wake up. But it depends upon their mood whether they will answer the question or not." ( iris )
" as for your responsibilities as a student, you just need to get stronger and reach some required rank to get more information. The current you is too low level to handle any work so get stronger faster. The school may send some tasks to you depending on your situation or needs. You will receive the information through the token and be sure that we did not monitor your every move. Just that if the token sensed something important it will signal us. If necessary school will give you tasks or other information about the relevant item or information it sensed. Any other doubt" ( iris )
" just one, why are there no other students besides me?" ( David )
" oh about that. I can not answer your question now. At least not until your rank and achievement reaches a certain level." ( iris )
" what rank do I need to achieve? Can you tell me in advance?" ( iris )
" S rank is minimum range." ( iris )
I wish I could strangle this millennium-year-old spirit to death.
Does it want to tell me or not? Forget it no need to waste time on it. I should check those buildings to see if I find anything good.
I said goodbye to the iris and walked towards the building covered in fog. Although the fog has dispersed a lot some area is still covered in fog.
I walked to the first building. It says library.
As I walked towards the entrance of the library the invisible wall blocked my advance.
Some text floated in front of me. It says " pay 10 shadow units to enter."
I did not know the value of shadow units so I better preserve them so I stepped back and moved towards other buildings.
Next to the library is an alchemy room. Same as the library this building also requires shadow units to enter.
I moved towards the next building which was the training ground. I moved to the other building canteen. The next building is the teacher's dormitory. Unlike other buildings, this building is not available for now.
At last, we have a student dormitory. The dormitory is free of cost to enter.
I entered the dormitory and explored the insides. As the iris told me no other student is present in the dormitory.
The whole dormitory is devoid of human existence. I chose the room at random and decided to live here whenever I came here.
This can be considered my room from now on. The room is not big as compared to my home.
There is a bedroom, bathroom, training or meditation room. This is an ideal dormitory for a single person.
I tried to meditate and found that the efficiency is greater than the outside world.
