CHAPTER 4 – ADMISSION (2)

In the game, switching between the scenes was very simple.

[After escaping from the pursuers, I arrived at the magical city of ‘Arcanium’.]

It usually happened in this way.

But the reality was different. Whether it was a change in the scene or something else, I had to do it and go there myself.

Fortunately, the setting was closer to the modern era than the Middle Ages, so there was no need to go through the troubles of riding a horse.

Trains were operated only in safe cities where the monster was judged to be completely eradicated, and ‘Warp Halls’ were installed in airships and certain other cities, to facilitate long-distance movement and travel.

‘I’m glad there is no further pursuit.’

I was familiar with the identity of those pursuers.

It was known in the media that ‘bandits’ ran amok and raided the nearby villages; later, it turns out that this incident was the work of the ‘Black Demon Church’ to seek sacrifices in the early days.

However, from the moment they exit the cliff, it is completely the realm of wizards.

Black Demons can’t pursue me anymore, and they treated me like a sacrifice anyway. Since they didn’t know who I was, there was no need to worry about future consequences.

Thanks to this, I was able to put down my worries and mind at ease for the time being.

With the help of these Wizards, I was able to travel in a car, no, a wagon, which was a bit shakier compared to the modern ones.

“Huh, Is this your first time in a city?”

“Where the hell did you learn that kind of magic?”

I didn’t know what to say, so I just smiled. It was an implicit rule among wizards, and it was in line with the meaning that if you smile softly when asked about magic, it meant you had a hidden master and no further questions should be asked.

“Well, that’s right.”

“However, I’m glad that our destination is the same. We are on our way to Rezoica, one of the 12 satellite cities of the magical city of Arcanium.”

The magic school Stella Academy was located in Arcanium. I’m really glad that I saved myself from the trouble of going there separately.

On the way, I asked questions about this world. From small details to the trivial culture.

I even heard him say, ‘Tutttttt, you’re a real peasant,’ while looking at me when I asked for the currency unit, but it didn’t matter.

It’s better to be treated like a peasant for a short time than to be bullied for not knowing later.

“Well, why don’t you sleep a little bit. The airship to Arcanium will depart at 8 o’clock tomorrow, and we’ll be able to make it to Rezoica before that.”

“Hey, I’m sorry, how are you?”

“Are you sleeping well?”

When I turned around following the wizard’s finger, I saw the grey-robed girl, who was on board as a guest, crouching in the corner and trying to sleep.

“ha…Then excuse me for a little bit.”

“Okay. Well, you’re going to make it big in the future, so let us take good care of you. Don’t forget us later on, okay?”
