Chapter 27

The current airship was heading directly to the kingdom's capital, the City of Two Falls, the city closest to the center of the continents, where it was the headquarters of the continent's guardian.

The keepers of the continent are creatures designated and supported by the will of the world. Their task was to protect their destined continent from destruction.

Besides, they did not interfere in the lives of the inhabitants of the continent, their strength was on the level of the top Ancient expert, and even the gods did not want to fight him on his territory.

There is one more thing that is not known to most, these are the trials created by these guardians, and they are called the trials of the continent.

Every continent has such a test, there is much to be gained from them, but the awards are based on the grade.

Although trials are scaled to the participant level, a given power level is needed to have a chance.

Therefore, with John's current power, he is only able to complete three trials, one is already on his way to one and the other two are on other continents.

"It will be 5 gold coins and 20 silver coins." The blonde-haired receptionist said, staring intently at John.

John donated the required amount with a simple wave of his hand, which surprised the receptionist very much, because such a sum was not small and only someone very wealthy or of strong origin could afford to spend such a sum with such a simple wave of the hand, even if he was a small child.

After that, the receptionist handed John the ticket and instructed where he should go.

John went to the place of departure of the airship, there, after showing the ticket, he was served and taken to his room.

The room was very luxurious and in appearance was in keeping with the looks of quality hotels.

In addition, inside were much better growing conditions than outside. After two hours of waiting, the airship started moving.

The flight lasted a week, during which nothing happened, John cultivated by taking some short breaks just to eat or explore the airship and watch the land from above.

...

At the same time, on Earth's Continent, Wolmar was seething with anger.

A moment ago, his whole family had returned from the Mortal Continent, and for this reason he had prepared a great welcome party.

Unfortunately, what he saw almost did not cause him a heart attack.

What he saw was a barely alive older and slightly injured group of people with him who was his family.

Before he could even say a word, the older Antoni shouted out words that shocked him.

"My Lord, Elder Mica betrayed us, killed the other two elders, and with the last of my strength I managed to bring the rest through the portal!" He said, spitting out a bite of blood.

"Quick, get Elder Fernando, get the wounded Elder Anthony treated, and check my family's condition!" He called out to his subordinate to bring in the chief medic.

After he said this, he looked again at the elder Antoni and then turned his gaze to his family.

He started to count if everyone was present, but no matter how many he counted, one person was missing each time.

John was, of course. At that moment, he felt himself losing strength, not even wanting to think it had happened.

"Elder Anthony, I thank you for protecting my family, and I express my condolences for your brother, but there is one missing person in my family." He said, looking at Elder Anthony.

At this, Elder Anthony bowed his head and spoke in a very apologetic tone.

"My Lord, during the fight I was unable to focus completely on what the rest of them were doing, and my sacrifice completely knocked me down. After my brother sacrificed himself, Elder Mica was about to move towards me, but suddenly your son appeared behind him, destroying the artifact that was sealing the teleportation gate. After that, I decided to transport everyone through the teleportation gate, unfortunately then Elder Mica fired a spell towards the gate, which surely caused destabilization and I will destroy it as our only escape route. I did not manage to take the Young Master with that one, for which I apologize and ask the Lord to punish him ruthlessly. " He said, falling on his face in front of Wolmar.

"Rise up, you did the best you could, I made a mistake, I should be there."

"My Lord, but ..."

"There is no but, it's my fault," Wolmar said, squeezing his hand so tightly that blood began to spill.

At that moment, he felt deep despair, which with time began to turn into immense anger.

Suddenly, in one moment, he stopped crying and started to get closer to his family.

As he was standing in front of everyone, he said towards them.

"I am so glad that you are okay and at the same time I apologize to you for what happened," after saying that he bowed to them, which surprised everyone.

At this point, the Elders were the most surprised. They were not surprised that he bowed, but what kind of atmosphere he was giving them.

They knew it very well, and they knew that every time he took on such an atmosphere, his enemies' blood flowed in streams.

"Now I will have to apologize to you again, but I have to settle the score with my enemies. But before I do that, before I do, I will give you some gifts. Though I was going to give them to you later, I decided to do it now. " He said to his children.

"First, Milla, I know you are talented like any of my children, so I'm going to give each of you an opportunity. As you are the eldest of my daughters, I will enroll you in the Star Fire Academy, which is located on the second Continent of Death. " He said, looking at Mill.

"Then, Kara and Kira, I know you are gifted in the element of darkness, so you will be sent to the Black Crow Academy to train there. Black Crow Academy is also on the other Mortal Continent, so once I take over my clan, you will be able to come to me whenever you want. " He said with a smile on his face, which made Kara and Kira slightly ashamed.

"Now they are apart from Ford and Monica. You will all be transferred to my native Knir where you will be taught by the Elders who are of equal teaching quality to other academies on the other Earth's continent. " He said to everyone.

Then he turned to look at Ford and Monica.

"As for the two of you, because of your talent, I will send you to the Academy of Nine Heavens on Earth's first continent. It is the largest Academy and one of the smaller branches of the true Academy of the Nine Heavens that is located on the first Heavenly Continent. So if you are lucky it is possible that you will be able to go to the Heavenly Continent. Study diligently and show what my children can do. Now forgive me, but I have some errands to do. " He said, smiling, then briskly left without a word.

But at this point, if his enemies knew what was going on, they would pray that the storm would pass by.

As Wolmar said a few days later, most were sent to appropriate academies to study and improve their power.

Most of the academies were powerful, powers on par with the powers of their continents.

But compared to the Academy of the Nine Heavens, they were just little ants. It was an academy founded on the first Heavenly Continent, where it was one of the greatest powers.

It had many other branches in smaller kingdoms to recruit talented people. One of them was the Academy of Nine Heavens, located on the first Earth's continent.

Most of the people who entered the Academy were never able to go to the main office on the Celestial Continent.

Usually, to get to the Academy, you have to wait for the annual recruitment or buy a special assessment, which is very expensive.

Fortunately for Wolmar portfolio, recruitment was taking place at that time and today was the last day to approach it.

It was much more advanced compared to other academies, where it was enough to go to one room, where talent was assessed with a ball and depending on the result, you became a student or not.

The Academy of Nine Heavens uses five different tests for recruits, and each year they are different, and besides, as in the case of sects, depending on how far you pass the tests, you will receive the appropriate position.

The lowest position one can get is the Lower Outer Disciple, followed by the Higher Outer Disciple, then the Root Outer Disciple, and then the Head Outer Student.

After them there is the inner circle, where as in the outer circle there is the lower and higher inner learner as well as the root and main inner learner.
