Merging starts

Lucifer and Caroline followed the butler around the house. And after climbing some stairs they finally came across a huge Graphene door. Extremely smooth and emitting a faint grey light. They didn't have to wait for long before the door got opened.

A man was sitting on the chair facing them. His gaze was sharp, totally giving of a scholarly vibe. Although his figure seemed a little frail through his loose gown his aura was exactly the opposite.

Cornell after giving them one glance again started looking at all the documents in front of him.

"Caroline have a seat, I have some matters to deal with Mr. Lucifer first"

Noticing this was his cue Lucifer went inside and sat on the opposite chair. Cornell started to speak without even looking above.

"Here's your college ID, scan It with your watch, all the further details are in there."

After what seemed like a substantial pause Cornell finally glanced at Lucifer and spoke in a cold voice,

"Know that you are here only because of your connections and you aren't worthy of being in this place so Mr. Lucifer one mistake and I will make sure its enough for you to take your leave. Also only those who become Spirit Knight before 18 are allowed to graduate if you don't then you will be thrown out"

Lucifer's eyes became sharp as he thought to himself, "that means I have just a year to reach level 20".

Lucifer without wasting anymore time stood up, "Sir. Cornell rest assured I know my place"

Lucifer then turned around and left murmuring,

"I do know my place and it's above the heavens".

Lucifer's battle spirit was ignited so while leaving, engaged in his own thoughts he didn't even spare a glance at Caroline which made her slightly flustered at the end she just sighed and entered Cornell's room.

Lucifer scanned the Id with his quantum watch which was given to him by Stella earlier when he left. It was a kind of handy device to do all kinds of basic task on the go. Lucifer without wasting any time went to his dorm room.

Lucifer was surprised to see that as far as only 1000 students were selected for the combat course while there was a population of 10,000 which had enrolled for other courses. Medical Science, Engineering, Commerce and Research all of these fields were available here. The sad part was due to Martial prowess being the background of any power combat prowess had highest demand and lowest selection rate.

But Lucifer was quite intrigued about the other fields suddenly he realised about the 'Knowledge acquired' section of the system which was showing nil. Lucifer had a hunch that maybe this was the way to increase it besides knowing a few other things instead of blindly fighting was always better than not.

With this thought in mind Lucifer finally arrived at his room which was actually a separate house outside the dorm which looked in somewhat bad condition. He speculated this was Sir. Cornell's special gift for him.

Lucifer went inside looked around, all though the interior was thoroughly cleaned up there were no advanced facilities like magic particle concentrator, or quantum security alarms etc which were common in every decent housing.

A package was kept inside the house. Lucifer opened it and found the combat uniform of Tuberg University inside it. A Black shirt with a black short jacket over it and silver shiny metal rings hung across them instead of buttons. It was quite cool after all black was his favourite colour.

Lucifer locked the door. He opened the system panel with excitement the time had finally arrived.

It was 11 pm and the classes were scheduled to start at 10 am the next day this meant that he had exact 12 hours in his hands.Lucifer selected the horns of devil afterall he didn't want to be late for his class on the first day itself.

Lucifer then took a deep breath and clicked on the merge option with a mixture of expectation, curiosity and excitement.
