The Master Of Elements

ME 77'S

Just as Matthew was about to find Leonard's whereabouts, someone had already approached his desk. Among all the people who came to him, Matthew did not expect that coming was Josh, the one who had already given the electrifying announcement.

“The formula is correct Leonard said, there are new students who are received earlier than others,” said Josh who immediately took a seat next to Matthew.

Josh looked one by one at Matthew and his two younger siblings. Josh seemed to be trying to remember their faces well. Unfortunately, he will be disappointed later. At this moment, their faces had not changed to their real faces. So what Josh does is free.

“My name is Josh Luinox. I heard your name from Leonard.”

“So you know Leonard?” ask Ellie.

“Of course I know him. He is my man. There was no way I could gather a lot of information quickly if I did not have a lot of people. Leonard is just one of my ears in this academy.”

Matthew nodded slowly. What Josh says is true. If Josh wants to be the one with the latest information, then he needs a lot of ears to help him listen to all the news that comes up.

“I didn't expect you to know Academy Head John Gallager. What is your relationship with him?” josh asked half a whisper.

‘Don't say anything to him,’ said Matthew warning his two younger siblings via their telepathy.

Matthew did not want his two younger siblings to disclose information about his closeness to John to other students. So, Matthew will let Josh make his own speculations.

“She found us while doing circumcision. We were separated from both of our parents when a herd of monsters attacked. So, Grandpa John brought us here because he said we're pretty talented.”

What Matthew says is not entirely wrong nor is it entirely true. But this is quite logical information that Matthew can give Josh.

“Ah as it is apparently.”

Although Matthew has given an answer, but Josh knows that the answer is not entirely true. There must have been one or two things Matthew had covered up from him. But it doesn't matter. From the way Matthew called out the name of the academy head, Josh already knew that their relationship was quite close.

“Josh, do you know where Leonard is?”

“What are you why are you looking for him?”

“I want to go to Archdule City to stock up on some stuff. Then, we need someone more familiar with Archdule City to be our guide.”

“What if you guys go with me. I will be the best driver for you. Incidentally, I also want to stock up on some groceries. So we go together.”

In the end Matthew decides to go along with Josh. Near the academy gate, there were already hundreds of disciples in sight gathered. They seem busy talking about something. Josh, who had offered to be a guide, explained what was going on to Matthew and the others.

“At this time they are waiting for a train that can take them to Archdule City to come. The number of trains is usually limited. Then, now everyone was simultaneously going to the city. Obviously there will be a lot of queues waiting.”

“Ah like that. Does the academy not have special monsters that can be used as a means of transportation?” ask Matthew.

“Of course there are. However, the cost of riding it is more expensive than riding a train. Those who do not have more money, will not choose to ride this special transportation.”

“What is it?” ask Ellie curious.

“That's it,” Josh said as he pointed towards the empty field in the right corner of the gate.

There were some huge monsters shaped like birds. If Matthew were to compare it to the vehicles that existed in his world back then, the monster would be the size of a cargo truck. On the backs of birds there is a large enough area for twenty adults.

“If riding a Puvre we only need a few minutes to get to the city. That would save a lot of time. But, one way everyone needs to pay fifty silver coins,” explained Josh.

Many people choose to get in line to ride the train. This was because the fare from the Andradius Academy headed to the Archdule City, requiring only five silver coins. However, the time they spent on the trip was also quite long.

“Matt we ride that alone huh? Want to try flying again? Can yes, can ya?” pinta Jasper who looks very enthusiastic about the possibility they will ride a monster that can fly.

“I don't matter. Since I've asked you to be my guide, I'll pay for your trip Josh.”

“Really? I myself intend to do the same. Pay for travel expenses to the city. If you're going to pay for it, it doesn't matter. Later, on the way home let me pay for it.”

Josh then guides Matthew and the others to get closer to the Puvre. There are three birds in this place. Matthew himself had already seen some of the academy's students waiting for their turn to climb onto Puvre's back.

“Josh who is this with you?”

A green-robed man asked Josh as they lined up. A silver pin with the number VI on top of the pin, stuck to his left chest. It signified that this man possessed the strength of the Silver VI level.

“Draven Dawnson's. I didn't expect to go to town with you. You look alone, where's your other cousin?” ask Josh.

The gaze of Matthew and his two sisters immediately looked at the person named Draven from toe to head. This is because Draven has the same last name as their father Dawnson. That means, they are still brothers. It is possible that this is their cousin.

“You haven't answered my question. Who are they?” ask Draven again.

“You remain unchanged, Draven. You want to know everyone's identity and judge them. You will definitely think about whether that person is suitable for you to recruit into your army in the future. Indeed, you are the future successor of General Dawnson.”

Draven did not respond to Josh's remarks. He stared hard at Josh. Draven says nothing, but Josh knows that Draven asked him to answer a question he has not answered.

“They are only new students who are accepted early. I volunteered to be their guide to get around Archdule City.”

“So Josh the messenger has now changed profession as a guide? I didn't expect you to do this.”

Draven looked at Josh with suspicion. This man would not do anything if it would not benefit him. This means, the new kids who are with Josh have an unusual identity.
