The vehicle they took to reach the Ouroboros Island was not a ship but a small boat which barely fit five people at the same time.
"There are better ships, but these are only used when we need to transport a high number of students. Don't feel bad, even the rector of other top ranked schools go to the island using this small boat!" The youth said, trying to make Arthur feel better about it.
Arthur did not mind it at all. He was happy to enter Ouroboros with minor problems. It would take them a few hours to reach the island, which was not that much time.
Along the way, he talked with the student, trying to get as much information as he could about the school, and it worked!
"Our school is a mystery to most people, but you are a strong and famous rank 1 mage, so you will eventually know more about it, but I don't think I am the person to tell you everything."
"I see."
