Magus Supremacy - Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Welcome to Lunaria academy Chapter 116: Welcome to Lunaria academy Chapter 116 Grey and the rest opened their eyes to find themselves standing before a towering structure that defied their expectations.

Unlike most academies, there were no fortified gates or visible guards stationed outside-only a vast, open clearing leading to the colossal building ahead.

The academy itself resembled a relic from an ancient era, yet its architecture bore the sophistication of something beyond its time.

It stood like a sky-piercing monolith, its height rivaling the tallest trees in the nearby forest, stretching across several kilometers.

The structure was predominantly a deep, royal blue, its surface polished to a reflective sheen that gleamed under the sunlight, making it look almost ethereal.

A grand flag hung at the peak, fluttering in the wind.

The emblem upon it was striking-a silver crescent moon cradling an upward-pointing fiery-red arrow, all encased within a circular border adorned with delicate, star-like etchings.

Above the crescent moon, an inscription curved elegantly across the banner: “Scientia et Magic”-“Knowledge and Magic” in the ancient tongue.

Despite the academy’s open surroundings, an air of mystery lingered, as if unseen forces protected the institution from intruders.

The mere sight of it sent a shiver down Grey’s spine.

“And this,” Amir announced with a proud smile, gesturing toward the magnificent structure, “is Lunaria Academy!” Grey swallowed as they approached the entrance.

“This place gives me the creeps,” he mumbled under his breath.

With a deep breath, they stepped forward, and as they pushed open the massive double doors, a new world awaited them inside…

As the massive double doors creaked open, a wave of cool, crisp air washed over them.

The moment Grey and the others stepped inside, their eyes widened in awe.

The entrance hall was vast-so vast that it felt like they had stepped into a different dimension altogether.

The high ceilings arched like the heavens, adorned with swirling patterns of silver and blue that shimmered as if alive.

At the very center, a grand chandelier of floating crystalline orbs hovered in midair, gently rotating while casting a soft, luminescent glow across the hall.

The floor was polished obsidian, reflecting their images like a mirror, but with a strange twist-whenever they moved, faint wisps of magic trailed behind their reflections, as if the very ground was alive with mystical energy.

Lining the massive walls were colossal bookshelves, stretching several stories high, filled with ancient tomes and scrolls.

Some books hovered off the shelves, flipping open by themselves before returning to their place, their pages glowing faintly with arcane symbols.

Grand floating staircases spiraled upwards, leading to unseen levels of the academy, shifting positions every now and then as if following an invisible rhythm.

At the far end of the hall, a massive stained-glass window dominated the wall, depicting the founders of Lunaria Academy-cloaked figures wielding elemental magic, their eyes glowing with wisdom.

The glass wasn’t just still; it moved, subtly shifting as if telling an ever-evolving story.

To the left, an open corridor revealed a glimpse of what lay beyond-a vast dining hall with levitating trays carrying food, enchanted cutlery setting themselves, and long tables where students engaged in conversations, their robes bearing unique symbols that hinted at different factions or specializations within the academy.

To the right, another corridor led to an arcane training chamber, where the faint hum of magic crackling in the air could be felt.

In the distance, they could hear students practicing spells, the sounds of energy blasts and defensive barriers forming in rapid succession.

Above them, the academy seemed endless-floating platforms, staircases, and even small flying creatures fluttering near the upper levels, serving as magical messengers.

Everything about this place screamed mystery, power, and discovery.

Grey exhaled, his heartbeat quickening as he took it all in.

“This place…” Vince muttered, still in disbelief.

“Welcome to Lunaria Academy,” Amir announced, his voice filled with pride.

“Your journey begins here.” “Woah!” One of the ten students muttered in amazement as she looked around the whole place.

“This place is awesome.” “Wait till you see Wysteria.” Amir chuckled while Grey stood around nonchalantly.

“Okay!

Before we all settle in, I will need to clear some misconceptions.” Amir spoke and everybody listened attentively.

“None of the four academies is what you know about.

We are not here to teach you how to use your magical affinities from scratch.

If you are able to get here after participating in the assessments, means that you already know how to use your magic well.” “Then what are the academies for?” One of the ten students asked.

“We are here to help take your magic to the next level.

We won’t start from scratch, we would help level your powers up.

And note, you would also be taking some dangerous quests and trips so be prepared as we said earlier, we aren’t here to joke or play around.” Amir replied.

“I heard something from the others.” Raze said and Amir looked towards him.

“Instead of vice principals, they all called you and the others captains.

Why is that?” “Good question.” Amir smiled.

“Aside from helping taking your magic to the next level as I said earlier, you would also participate in dangerous quests.

That is why the academies also doubles up as a squad that gets dispensed for missions.

E.g like the town of Kiten.” He said as he looked towards Grey who just threw his face away.

“And in these squads, we!

The vice principals are the captains of the squads and only in rare cases do we get called out.” Amir replied.

“So…” Grey said as he looked around the whole huge hallway.

“Are we the only ones here?” “If we are talking about the junior years, then yes!

You all are the junior/first years.

Since we are still going to help take your powers to the next level, we have divided the years into three like a normal academy should.

So we have you ten, the junior/ first years, we have the second years and then the third years.

Although you would be seeing the second years more as your missions might tend to cross over but you won’t see any third years and when you do, don’t mess with them as even me can’t save you.” Amir said the last part with a furrowed brow showing how serious he was.

‘I wonder how strong they are to get Amir this serious.

Oh well!

It’s not like I plan on messing with them or else they messed with me.’ Grey thought with a shrug.

“Alright!

Enough of talking, you would be shown your rooms.

Also, this lower level houses your rooms, where your classes will hold and so on.

On no occasion, should you say you want to explore the higher levels as juniors aren’t allowed to go near their seniors levels.” Amir said and then he clapped towards the two young men beside him.

“Kindly show these young ones their rooms!” He said and then without waiting for their response, he swiftly jumped up towards a staircase and began ascending without looking back.

“Follow me.” One of the men said.

“Oh!

They can talk.” Grey muttered with a chuckle as they all began following the men to the north of the hallway.

‘I guess this begins a new phase in my life.

I still wonder how strong those third years are actually.’ He thought.
