Emery left the elite class island 7 with a new determination.
With the current situation Earth had with the Nephilims, the unsettling situation with Grand Magus Zenoia, and the recently added high-certainty life and death mission by the Magus Alliance that he would take part of; Emery had to get strong fast.
Emery made his way towards the Magus Academy's portal to reach his destination. As he exited the last portal, he saw a magus wearing a gray uniform who have been waiting for him.
"Emery Ambrose?" asked the magus in gray uniform when he saw Emery coming out of the portal.
In response, Emery nodded his head. Seeing that, the magus quickly gestured to follow him which he immediately obeyed. Apparently, he was the designated magus in charge of the transition.
The two of them proceeded to pass through another portal, but this time it transported him to another base-like construct that looked similar to the academy. To Emery's surprise, he could see a window showing a black sky with glittering stars scattered all over it.
It was at this moment that Emery realized that he was in what they called a spaceship.
"No," said the magus as if he knew what Emery was thinking at the moment. "We are not on a spaceship, but we are on a starbase."
Fortunately, the knowledge he had acquired in the elite class left him to look less surprised; though he couldn't do anything to the apparent excitement that showed on his face.
The excitement also stemmed from the fact that he could sense the majority of the people in the base were magus level, and as if that wasn't amazing enough, there were also many grand magus level auras throughout the place.
He could barely sense any acolyte-level figures, other than some of the miscellaneous staff and the guards patrolling around the area.
The magus in grey uniform proceeded to take him on a tour of the place and show him what was probably the most extraordinary sight he ever saw through a massive window that allowed him to see the vast outer space. It was a massive, yellow planet with both its upper and lower atmosphere enveloped with a layer of white.
There were also thousands of objects covering the planets. At first, Emery thought those were a congregation of hundreds of asteroids orbiting around the planet, but on the second thorough look, he realized that it was actually a kind of metal construct.
Realizing that Emery seemed to have finally guessed what it was, the gray uniformed magus opened his mouth.
"That is the defensive system for the planet. Don't look down on its unassuming appearance. Being hit by a few of it, even a magus would not survive"
Emery couldn't hold himself from letting out a gasp of surprise that he quickly suppressed when he heard the magus' words.
Apart from the planet and the metal construct, another construct that caught Emery's eyes was the very long pipe-like structure that stretched from the yellow planet to the starbase he was currently in.
"Yes, that's where we are heading."
The gray uniformed magus then took Emery to what appeared to be a hangar with many spaceships seen around the size of a house. After the magus went through some kind of identification process, the door opened and the two quickly entered the ship.
Entering inside, Emery was immediately greeted by the sight of a very luxurious interior setting with comfortable seats that could accommodate eight people.
The door quickly closed after they entered and the ship swiftly moved, at high speed connected to a steel rail through the pipe-like structure towards the yellow planet.
Emery could see at least a few more ships flying behind and in front of him, some even heading the opposite way towards the starbase. This sight reminded him of the main road in Logress Kingdom's capital city where many caravans and horses passed, which shouldn't be a far-fetched comparison.
The gray uniformed magus explained to Emery that the planet they were going to had some kind of natural barrier that would hurt anyone flying through it, hence the means of transportation they were currently using was the most common way to in and out of the planet.
Exceptions naturally existed, for some individuals who had their own special ship that allowed them to enter and exit the planet undisturbed.
Again, Emery was overwhelmed when he saw what was waiting for him at the end of the pipe-like structure. It was a massive floating island twice the size of the academy and surrounded by some sort of cloudy gas.
[Planet – Hyperion]
[Class A – savage level 5]
Emery was surprised to know that the privileged class training center was situated on top of a savage planet. A planet that was given the status 'savage' meant that it still hadn't completely explored and that there were still some unknown or high level dangers around.
As soon as Emery arrived on the island, he suddenly realized that his body felt heavier; the sensation felt exactly the same as when he was under one of Lodos' spells, but much more subtle and inescapable.
Emery turned to the magus and asked if what he was experiencing right now was true and not just a hallucination on his part. The latter then explained that the planet had a stronger gravity than a normal planet.
Apparently, this was one of the reasons why the training center was situated on this planet as stronger gravity would force the body from its limitations and to adapt to it, which would gradually make the body stronger.
In addition, Emery also felt certain feelings that indirectly made him anxious. But no matter how hard he tried to find its origin, he couldn't find what it was. When he asked the magus about this, the latter just smiled and said that was also part of the effects created by the planet.
Finally, the two arrived at a grand lobby where Emery could see from the porthole several magus as well as others flying using a similar object to the flying rectangular objects he had used on the elite island.
There, he saw a female magus with long blue hair and silver-rimmed glasses over her nose.
"Emery Ambrose? The Savage Acolyte! You are finally here. Welcome!"
When the female magus approached Emery, the one who took the latter here quickly excused himself and left the two alone.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Magus Ramora, your escort and guide during your time here! Let's not waste anymore time.. You are coming with me now."
