The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 36's

Ernst Institute's. The best magus academy in the entire Yulan continent.

The Ernst Institutewas was located in a rural area about twenty kilometers south of the Holy Capital of Fenlai City. The Ernst Institute was founded and financially supported by the Radiant Church. Naturally, it was rich and knew how to waste money. They took up an enormous space, with a circumference of ten kilometers. An academy of that size was the size of a city.

Outside of the Ernst Institute, there were only a few signs of human presence that could be seen, only empty mountains.

Restaurants, clothing stores, bars, and other types of service industries are all located on the campus itself. It can be said that the students of the Ernst Institute spend their entire lives inside the campus.

“Amazing style. "Linley stood at the gate to the Ernst Institute. He could only sigh with emotion.

The main gate of the Ernst Institute was fifty meters wide. Above that huge gate was an enormous crescent moon building, covered with all sorts of magical scriptures that one could catch a glimpse of was extremely complicated. Just from seeing how complicated the script was, one could imagine how powerful and formidable the magical formation that protected the Ernst Institute was.

Currently, the main gate of the Ernst Institute was a very crowded place. There was a line of academic staff, and a single young man who brought his acceptance letter and proof of identity and began to be processed for admission. Linley immediately retrieved his own documents and headed for processing as well.

“School officially starts February 9th. Today is February 8th. Based on the notice, students must arrive before February 9. Since the young man in front of me had also just arrived today, there was no doubt that he was also living somewhat close to the Institute. "Linley thought to herself.

The young man in front of Linley could actually be more precisely described as a child. He was half a head shorter than Linley, and there was an old man by his side.

"Hi, over there. I am from the Kingdom of O'Brien, and my name is Reynolds [Lei'nuo]. "Students were being processed for intake in front of Linley suddenly turned his head and warmly greeted Linley.

Hearing that he was from the O'Brien Empire, Linley was shocked. "O'brien Empire?"

The O'Brien Empire, one of the Four Great Kingdoms, was located to the east of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, while the Ernst Institute was located to the west of it. To reach the Ernst Institute, one had to circle the entire Range of Magical Beasts Mountain Range from the north or south. After all, aside from fighters of the ninth rank or Saint-level fighters, no one dared to directly cross that mountain range.

The Mountain Range of Magical Beasts was over ten thousand kilometers long.

For someone who came from the O'Brien Empire, the entire journey would consist of at least twenty thousand kilometers of travel. If they came from the eastern part of the Empire, the journey would be longer.

It might take about a year or so to cover a distance of twenty thousand kilometers.

"My name is Linley. I am from the Kingdom of Fenlai. "Linley politely said to the boy called Reynolds.

Reynolds blinked, and sighed emotionally. “Fenlai Kingdom? Then you have it nice and tasty. It took a whole year just to get to the Fenlai Kingdom from my home. It doesn't take too long. ”

"really. From my house to here, I traveled for half a day. "Linley answered honestly.

"Whoah ..." Reynolds' facial expression was precious.

One of them traveled for over a year. The rest, just half a day.

"Pupil, hurry. ”One of the nearby test administrators urged.

One of the admission processes for new students is taking the magus test. After all, the Ernst Institute was afraid that someone would steal the acceptance letter and misregister it.

"coming. “Reynolds went to take the test.

After seeing the results, Linley could not help but feel surprised.

This boy named Reynolds had a high affinity of elemental essence .. and for his spiritual essence …

“Reynolds, eight years. Spiritual essence, thirty-two times higher than students his age. Level is incredible. ”

Hearing these figures, Linley's eyes briefly glared. But the test administrator seemed very calm, and was not the least bit surprised.

"Linley, what's wrong? Amazed by just this? "Said Reynolds indifferently. “This is Ernst Institute. Every year, they only received a hundred students from the entire Yulan continent. Which of them is not an extraordinary talent? My results can only be considered average, across the entire student base. ”

"But the Ernst Institute did show favoritism towards the Sacred Union. They received fifty students from the Holy Union, and only fifty more in total than the other Four Great Kingdoms. This is so unfair. "Reynolds sighed.

Linley laughed when he heard this.

The Ernst Institute was founded by the Radiant Church. Of course it would show favoritism towards the Holy Union.

Reynolds scrunched his little nose. "This person called Linley was from the Holy Union. He must have had a much easier time being accepted than I did. I'm sure he's not as talented as I am. “Reynolds is very confident.

But when the test administrator reported Linley's results, Reynolds was shocked.

“High spiritual essence, outstanding elemental essence affinity? And the affinity of the two elements for earth and wind? ”Reynolds was completely silent.

The overwhelming affinity of the elemental essence was already extremely rare, but Linley was not only a dual element, but possessed an overwhelming affinity for the wind and earth elemental essence. This was a true talent, one that was somewhat greater than himself. After all ... majus two elements are very strong.

"Reynolds, don't just stand there looking silly. Let's go . "Linley laughs.

"Oh. "Reynolds was a year younger than Linley, but judging by his appearance, looked three years younger.

Linley and Reynolds received their Ernst Institute student IDs, then obtained their residential keys. At the Ernst Institute, all students, regardless of wealth and economic background, must live together. Tuition and residence fees are completely eliminated.

Yet…

"Hey, you have to pay the tuition?" When Linley saw the old man accompanying Reynolds take out the tuition, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

Hillman, other than Linley, laughed. "Linley, waiver of tuition fees and waiver of rental fees provided by the Ernst Institute are only for members of the Holy Union. Others have to pay very high fees. ”

Reynolds nodded as well.

The old man next to him smiled at Linley. "Religion . This was not just a rule for the Ernst Institute; the number one warrior academy in the Yulan continent, O'Brien Academy, did the same. They provide a full tuition waiver for their own Empire students, but charge astronomical fees for students coming from elsewhere. ”

Linley was not stupid. He understood immediately.

"Linley, my young master has the same key to staying as you. You two should live in the same place. I hope that in the future, the two of you can help each other. "Say the old man.

Reynolds said sadly, “Oke, Grandpa Lomu [Your Lu'], you can come back now. I have arrived at the Ernst Institute. ”

“Uncle Hillman, you can also return. I can take care of myself . "Linley smiled as she spoke to Hillman, and Hillman nodded back, satisfied. "Linley, then I'll be back now. Working hard . Hillman.

Linley smiled and nodded.

"Linley, let's go. "Reynolds warmly grabbed Linley's hand, and started running to the Institute.

"Farewell, Uncle Hillman. ”

Hillman and the old man watched the children enter the Institute. Only after a long time did they leave.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Hillman, Linley and Reynolds entered with the Ernst Institute. The Ernst Institute was filled with shady grasses, lakes, stone bridges, ancient buildings. Just from the size of the giant tree, which had to be surrounded by seven people to hold hands, one could imagine how old the place was.

“It was really something. It was hardly as conspicuous as some of the new institutions. This is what is known as 'smoothness'. “Reynolds, curious eyes looked around them as he spoke.

Within the Ernst Institute, as a one-time event, there were many signs of instruction telling students where each location was located. Obviously, this is meant to help new students.

"Linley, let's go find our hostel. "Reynolds, pulling Linley's hand, started rushing towards the dormitory.

Dorm number 1987.

Linley and Reynolds had completed their intake process at the same time, one after another. Most dormitories accommodate four students. When Linley and Reynolds arrived at the dorm area, they could not help but sigh in astonishment. At first glance, there seemed to be thousands of dormitories standing alone.

Among the thousands of dormitories, there are even some apartment-style dormitories.

"1987, 1987 ..." Linley and Reynolds checked the dorm number, walking non-stop south.

The dormitory area is numbered very logically, starting from 0001, with each row accommodating 100 individual dormitories. When Linley arrived at row 20, he saw the 1901 dormitory. And then, as they continued to run east, Reynolds began to pant, until finally, they arrived at the 1987 dormitory.
