"The girls wore skirts and tights, while the boys dressed in suits. Kayden noticed that Bruno and Athena followed this model too, he was the only one who clashed with everyone else. Kayden was impressed to see the buildings move at one point; the other teachers shared his surprise. The administrator seemed amused by their reaction.
"The roots that hold the buildings together and they are alive, they are my children, this is a secret so don’t tell the students. They move to look for the best angle in front of the sun, which helps with their cultivation." Athena was amazed by this information, it was something she had never heard before.
The director gave them a presentation of where each place was and what each establishment did. Furthermore, it showed the teachers responsible for each subject and where those responsible for each sector were located. The majority were neutral towards them and a minority were negative; there were few friendly reactions.
This was an expected reaction considering that the elven kingdom was somewhat open to all races, but also extremely selective and eugenic, they only believed in the superiority of strength and talent and these three new teachers just proved themselves capable of being in the same environment. than them and not to have the same treatment as their race
The director took them to one of the open parks which was also a huge cafeteria. All food was served on floating plates; you just needed to stretch your spiritual sense and choose. There were several hundred students in the courtyard. Everyone there was new to the academy. The middle level was the eighth level of the first realm, with geniuses being at the ninth level. These were the same ones they had the option to choose to teach previously.
"At our academy, students have a lot of autonomy. He can change teachers of his choice. Furthermore, they may refuse to join you. You will be able to choose before the usual teachers, but you must be able to give a good presentation. If not, none of them will choose to stay with you", the administrator explained and again Kayden chose to stay last.
Athena was the first to float above all the students. Her aura of a fourth realm mage caused everyone to be quiet and pay attention to her. Few were interested in learning from foreign people.
"Good morning students, my name is Athena, I’m not going to beat around the bush, I’m a magician specializing in mana distortion", she called the student who had taught during the test. "As you can see, he was able to use elemental mana with extreme ease after one day of class, I can offer this benefit and all my knowledge, I am currently known as the greatest sage of humanity."
The woman began to present all her talents, which were many. Furthermore, he showed his way of manipulating mana, something very complex and different from what most were used to. His presentation captivated everyone.
Then it was Brunno’s turn. He didn’t have much charisma and just presented his skills and gifts. Even so, he managed to choose good students. The straightforward promises he and Athena made were very attractive to most elves. Finally, it was Kayden’s turn.
"The three who trained with me, you can come to my room if you want", the three were surprised and raised their heads, automatically flying behind Kayden. "I’m not looking for strength or talent, I’m looking for will and resilience, I’m not going to talk about the benefits for you, you’re not worthy yet, I’m just saying that I will place all my students in the second realm with five rays, the entry test is simple, just resist my aura pressure and you can pass no matter how many students there are."
Kayden gave everyone a few seconds to decide whether they wanted it or not. Some left because they didn’t believe Kayden’s promises, but the rest did. He was on the administrator’s side and wouldn’t lie easily.
It started with strong mana pressure and some directly fainted without even being able to react. The rest lasted a few seconds, but little by little they fell unconscious to the ground. Kayden took the mana pressure off those who were disqualified immediately.
It only took a few minutes for him to select the top 26, they all had strong willpower and could withstand great mana pressure, it was mainly a matter of will and not strength, this became clear when even some elves at the seventh level were between them.
"Congratulations everyone, you were the chosen ones, we will begin immediately after you go through the gym tour", Kayden believed it was over when a voice appeared in the crowd of chosen ones.
"Teacher! We have proven ourselves worthy, but so far you have not done the same," the person who said this was a girl with black hair and fair skin, her pointed ears showed that she was an elf.
His question was something that many were holding inside and didn’t dare to ask Kayden, all eyes focused on him, most expected an explosive and arrogant reaction like all those at the top would give.
"I am in the third realm and have a fortune of around 14 trillion human coins, apart from all my treasures," most focused their attention on the third realm part. "Do you want me to prove myself worthy? Well, anyone who is between the third and fourth kingdom is free to ask me in a duel, if I lose I will pay with all my wealth and my life."
The fact that Kayden was in the third realm and dared to challenge wizards in the fourth was something very difficult to enter into the minds of all the students present, his sentences seemed more like something...
"Isn’t that very arrogant?" this time, one of the royal family’s elves who hadn’t joined any team raised his voice. He had the features of royalty, hair as light as snow, white skin, and his ears were very prominent.
"No, I am superior and I defy any wizard on this planet to prove otherwise." Kayden’s voice made a silence fall on the room.
