<h4>Chapter 8: Calton magic school</h4>
The city was surrounded by thick, tall walls with symbols iid on them.
On the wall were magic towers that had blue orbs that contained immense energy just waiting to be released.
When they got close to the gate, Prince Bryon raised his right hand and shot golden mes into the air.
It was a signal for the soldiers on the walls to allow them to pass.
Shouts were heard from the wall. The symbols on the wall lit up and the air above the wall shimmered, causing a fiery dome to appear.
It didn''t take long for them to get close to the fiery dome. A space in the dome opened up and they quickly flew past the wall.
When they got passed the wall, cottages and farnds could be seen scattered across the area.
As they moved closer to the center of the city, littered streets and dpidated neighborhoods came into view. The people walking on the streets were thin, frail and they put on rags.
This was the Slums.
ke felt pity for those living in the slums, but he couldn''t do anything about it.
No matter the world one finds himself in, the poor will still exist… He sighed helplessly.
They quickly flew past the Slums and into the mid-region of the city.
On the streets of the mid-region, carriages of different colors where being pulled by horses to different destinations. People could be seen walking to and fro the streets and stores could were scattered around the streets.
The entire mid-region was lively and cleanerpared to the slums.
ke looked closely at a factory that had a chimney; ck smoke rose from the chimney but before they could escape into the atmosphere they were converted to clean air.
This could help earth deal with air pollution… ke Thought.
He was impressed by the technology, He was surprised to see that a world that used magic cared about their environment, sadly it was not the same for Earth that couldn''t use magic.
When Chief Bryon saw the faces of the trio he chuckled "The factories in Synder empire are mandated to install purifiers in their factories or else they will be shut down."
Soon they entered the center region, ke was stunned by the beauty of the region.
Manors withrge gardens and driveways were mainly seen here.
The center region was not as crowded as the mid-region fewer people were on the streets and fancy carriages with different emblems could be seen.
The center region viewed from above was a pattern of buildings that clearly demarcated the rich from the poor.
When they reached a magnificent pce that radiated sunlight like gold, the eagle began slowing down
At the center of the pce, surrounded by ck crossed gs, was the statue of emperor Cinder holding his ming scepter of power.
The eagle touched down in front of the general''s pce. They got down from the eagle and soldiers came to wee them.
Standing in front was Prince Bryon''s secretary, Joan Sanders.
Joan had a shapely figure, glossy skin, and smooth blonde hair that was tied up neatly into a bun. Her facial features were nothing exceptional, but her regal aura made the nobles greatly desire her.
"Give them clothes to wear and send them to the magic school and get them registered" Prince Bryon gave out orders to Joan and made his way to the door.
When he was some steps away, he turned and said "Oh... Get them something to eat first."
"Yes sir" the Joan saluted after Chief Bryon gave out the orders. They were already used to his forgetful nature
Joan stepped up to the trio with a smile on her face and said "Please follow me"
She led them into the pce and showed them to their rooms.
"Food and cloths will be delivered to your rooms, after taking your bath and getting some rest we will be heading to the magic school" she informed them of the ns, and she made her way out of therge corridor.
The trio looked at each other and without saying anything they turned and entered their rooms.
…
ke stepped out from the bathroom and gave out a loud sigh... "What a day!"
funny enough it hasn''t ended… he made a self-deprecating smile.
He put on the brown leather shirt and pants that were ced on the bed by the servants and made his way to the table to eat his food.
He was served zed chicken and sd by the side.
He raised his fork and knife and inhaled deeply. His taste buds began secreting saliva as the aroma of the food wafted into his nose.
"Looks good, smells good…." he dived into the food. "uhmmm. Tastes good!" he said with a stuffed mouth.
After he was done eating, he rested for thirty minutes before a servant came to inform him that it was time for them to head the magic school.
Do we have to go to school, can''t he be our sensei... He stood up and followed the servant to where the carriage was parked.
Brian and Castiel were already in the carriage when he came. Beside the door of the carriage was secretary Joan. "please take your sit, we will be heading out"
The carriage driver opened the door of the carriage and bowed slightly as a polite gesture for him to enter.
When ke was at the door of the carriage, he sensed someone was staring at him, he turned his head towards the pce that was ten stories high and looked at the window.
The image that appeared on the window was only the reflection of the sky, but he felt the gaze of someone was on him.
Hmm… seeing no one was there, he turned and entered the carriage.
After the secretary Joan entered, the carriage driver closed the door and drove the carriage out of the pce.
...
In a dark room at the top floor of the pce, Prince Bryon was looking out the full ss window, he saw when ke looked up in his direction.
"The speed he is assimting the All-fathers inheritance is shocking, he even sensed my gaze." he was astonished by the scene that yed before him.
"I will be heading to the capital tomorrow, watch over them, especially him." Prince Bryon turned his head slightly and spoke to a red-haired man behind him.
"Yes Prince Bryon." the figure bowed and left the room.
Bryon''s gaze returned to the carriage that was making its way out of the pce.
...…
After thirty minutes of driving, they had already made their way out of the center region and into the mid-region.
Secretary Joan acted as a guide and showed them key ces like; the city lords manor, house of congress.
"What is the difference between the city lord and the chief?" ke asked because it was confusing.
Secretary Joan smiled "The city lord is in charge of most of the administrative tasks in the city, while the Chief is in charge of all military operations and missions.
The position of war chief of the cities in the Synder empire is headed by the members of the royal guard counsel."
"Is Prince Bryon a member of the royal guard council?" ke asked.
"Yes, out of the five councilors, he is the youngest and is in charge of the east region of the empire." She said with a proud smile.
As they headed west to the magic school, they saw a five-story building that had a shield and sword crest at the top of the building.
Joan pointed at the building "That''s the Adventurers association, they are one of the top organizations in the world. You can give out variousmissions for adventurers toplete and if you be an adventurer you can takemissions that correspond to your strength."
With his eye still on the building, he asked the system. What are the names of the top organizations?...
[ They are:
Crusaders.
Adventurers association.
The league of assassins.]
Crusader. What a catchy name… he smiled and immediately stopped when he noticed the others were looking at him.
This is awkward… he resisted the urge to smack his forehead as hempooned.
After ke''s awkward moment, the carriage remained silent until they reached their destination.
The carriage arrived in front of arge bronze double door gate and written on the gates inrge letters was Calton Magic School.
