“Here you are, Ella!”
“Sister-Auntie!” Ella, who had been watching with Max got up and greeted her.
“You brat, you’re going everywhere,” Denice said with a hint of scolding.
“You’re busy, so I got bored,” Ella said with a pout.
“Hmph, there won’t be a next time,” Denice scolded.
While they were talking, Maximus approached them and greeted, “Hello, who are you?”
“Oh! It’s you, the newcomer!” Denice said in surprise.
“What newcomer? By the way, I’m Maximus.”
“Ah, I’m Denice, Ella’s auntie. I know you from the trial of newcomers this year.”
“You became an official student in one go, awesome!” Denice praised.
After all, it’s rare to have even one person reach official student status in one go every ten years.
Now, there are four of them this time, which is very rare in a millennium.
“Is that so,” Maximus smiled politely.
“Dad!” Max, who was engrossed in watching, finally noticed him.
“Hmm,” Maximus nodded.
“Uh, what?” Seeing that Denice was still staring at him intently, he was puzzled.
He had already looked at her panel, which, as expected of Origin Arcana Institute the home of elites.
[Denice Celestine: 18,123 years old
Tier 6 Archmage
Talent: Rank 8 Supreme
Mana Amplitude: 10.2 million
Fit:103]
(*1 billion is the Tier 6 mana amplitude limit)
“That, I would like to invite you to the Lorekeeper Guild,” Denice said eagerly.
“Lorekeeper Guild?”
“The Lorekeeper Guild is in charge of the Arcana Library. A top-notch guild even compared to the rest. I think you’ll like it here,” Denice bragged shamelessly.
In fact, their Lorekeeper Guild was almost at the bottom of the top guilds in the Origin Arcana Institute.
If it were not for the Arcana Library, they wouldn’t even be placed at the same level as those top-level guilds.
“Can you explain what a guild is?”
“You can find what it is in the institute forum.”
“Basically it’s a faction created by students in the institute to earn credits together, “Denice explained briefly.
“Then can you tell me the benefits of joining your guild?”
“Of course, first of all, you will be protected by the guild”
“Although killing is not allowed, there are still many ways to cheat you and bully you”
“Second, you’ll have a massive discount through all the books here”
“I see that you only bought tier 0 – tier 6 of the book, which is a pity”
“If you join us the whole book would only cost 10 percent of the original,” Denice said professionally.
“Is that all? What about duties?” Maximus ask to confirm.
“You’ll know that once you join our guild,” Denice said trying to fool him.
“Is that so? I’m still new here so I would like to explore more and then consider joining a guild,” Maximus said with a smile as if saying, “You can’t fool me.”
“Oh, what a pity,” Denice sighed.
As expected, it’s not easy to fool a newcomer who became an official student in one go.
Normally, upon hearing that the Lorekeeper Guild manages the Arcana Library, one would be in a hurry to join.
Unfortunately, This kid is a hard bone.
Pity she almost got a promising lackey of her own.
“Ella, let’s go,” Denice said without any more thought.
After all, in her 18 thousand years of living, Denice had encountered all kinds of people, Maximus is not that rare.
“Bye Max, see you later,” Ella waved to Max before following her sister-auntie.
“See you later, Ella,” Max nodded and continued with his book.
As the two girls walked away, Maximus’s mood to read stories plummeted, as he became curious about the factions and guilds in the Origin Arcana Institute.
He took out his token and accessed the institute forum.
[Forum:
Unbelievable Revelation: Meet the 4 Mind-Blowing Prodigies!
Breakthroughs in Micromaterials Leave Machinist Legue Speechless!
EPIC Showdown of the Century: Crimson Blade Takes on Silver Wings in Epic Battle!
…]
There are all kinds of headlines in the forum that he didn’t know where to look.
Seeing the first title, he got curious and tapped on it.
After reading for a bit, he got a cold sweat.
These four prodigies are him, Lilith, Ragnar, and Silas.
What’s mind-blowing is that all of their information is there, perhaps they know more about him than himself.
He even saw his family genealogy, which he didn’t even know about.
Fortunately, no information was on it that showed evidence of the system’s existence.
“It should be the system’s doing.”
Before he transmigrated into the original body, he only had trash talent, but here it’s written that he was an outright genius from birth.𝓞𝒱𝐞xt.𝔠𝒪𝚖
All of the contradictory experiences, since he transmigrated here, are all normal when you look at it.
All of this was found by divination, so it’s no wonder the system can intervene.
If they personally investigated his origin, then something would probably happen.
He should stay low-key for a while, after a few hundred years, all those who knew him before transmigration will probably die.
As for his confidants, they have already signed a contract with him, so there is no problem.
Having thought it through, he searched for information about different guilds.
After searching, he came to know that a guild is just like clubs in his previous world, although they are more comprehensive and grand.
Moreover, there is an uncountable number of guilds.
There are hundreds of thousands of guilds alone that were established for the last thousands to millions of years that lasted until now.
Lacking time, He turned his attention to the top 100 guilds.
These top 100 guilds are either established from the beginning of the institute’s establishment or are rising stars from previous epochs.
After reviewing all of the top 100 guilds, he just sighed.
Joining them had too many constraints and duties; even he, an elite this year, can only be a peripheral member if he joins.
Furthermore, once you join them you’re basically branded by them all your life.
For him who had a lot of secrets, this is dangerous.
As for the Lorekeeper Guild that Denice mentioned, it’s ranked 89th in the institute.
They were established in the beginning and created the now Arcana Library.
As for the top three guilds, behold, they are the top three organizations that run the arcane continent: Etherium Gold Chamber of Commerce, Order of the Arcane, and Knights of Order.
This is how great the background of Origin Arcana Institute is – it’s the gathering of those who control the world.
This gave him the idea of creating a guild for himself.
After all, with his system, sooner or later he will stand tall.
Furthermore, having a faction is conducive to earning credit points.
The easiest way to earn those points is by converting high-grade crystals for credit points.
It’s easy for him to earn vast amounts of magic crystals, but to do so without arousing suspicion, having a private guild is necessary.
As for why the Arcane continent, which boasts its almost unlimited mana, still needed this type of crystallized magic energy?
It’s because the Arcane continent is incapable of producing magic crystals on its own.
Maximus didn’t know.
After the whole arcane continent became an alchemy product, it stopped producing natural magic crystals.
All the magic crystals present now are mined from under the seas or obtained through trade with other continents.
“But I still need some strength,” Maximus thought.
Setting up a guild requires at least tier 5 strength, so he is not eligible now.
Sighing, he came back from digesting Gaia’s Primal Genesis.
…
Three days later…
“It’s time to leave,” Maximus said, looking at his children still engrossed in their activities.
“But we want to stay here for a while,” Max said.
“We’ll come back later,” Maximus replied, looking at them.
They had been here for three days.
The Arcana Library had enchantment that nourished them, allowing them to continue reading without eating or sleeping.
“Then come back later,” They look at him pitifully.
This library is truly a devil’s nest of addiction, He reckoned that it’s one of the reasons the Lorekeeper Guild has a low ranking.
“Let’s go home.”
After they got home, they slept peacefully like never before.
They had been away for 4 days without sleeping, so it’s no wonder they sleep so soundly.
…
The next day,
“Where are we going today?!” They asked excitedly.
“We’re resting today,” Maximus said with a yawn.
They had been deviant lately, it’s really time to settle the kids.
“What about attending a school?” Maximus asked them.
“School? We thought that only adults go to school?”
“Of course not, there’s a school for kids here.”
He came to know that there’s a guild especially taking care of the children of the students.
Although the fee is expensive, they are professionals.
They guarantee that children who study there can pass the Origin Arcana Institute trial when they grow up as long as they had enough talent.
They are also famous for educating children starting from the mind and preventing the child from taking crooked paths.
“Oh,” seeing that there were no real plans for going anywhere today, the kids sighed.
However, when they saw their mothers dressing up as if going somewhere, they were puzzled.
“Where are you going?” Lyla ask puzzled.
“We are going to the Celestial Ascent Path to train,” Erica said as she pinched her cheeks.
“Just obediently stay here with your dad and go to school,” they laughed.
They had already talked about this at night.
They can’t take care of their kids every day.
Going to school is a great idea, and they can also make amazing friends.
“Fine,” they said solemnly.
Seeing them quibbling, Maximus smiled.
However, his token vibrated, which got his attention.
