The moment has finally arrived when the winner of the special challenge for the "Inner Students" will ask for a reward from the Head of the Academy. Arabe wondered what kind of reward Evan would want. During the test, he seemed to her to be a very ambiguous young man.


    Evan calmly said: "I don''t really like the uniforms at the Academy, so I want to wear what I like."


    "What?"


    "What?"


    Arabe and Draven said at the same time. Arabe was extremely surprised by such a strange and in her opinion silly request, and Draven did not understand anything at all. He had spoken to Evan before and they decided that he would ask for ess to the library above his rank.


    Evan didn''t answer anything and just smiled.


    Arabe looked at Evan intently and with a wave of her hand replied, "I didn''t expect you to ask for something like that. This is the first time I''ve heard such a ridiculous request. It is customary for every student and teacher at the Academy to wear a mantle of a certain color, but since this is your request, you can wear whatever you want. I don''t think it should be considered a request. Now ask for what you wanted originally."


    Hearing Arabe''s words, Evan smiled. Everything had gone just the way he wanted. It could be said that technically Arabe would fulfill two of his requests.


    <Great, I won''t have to wear that yellow mantle>.


    Evan thought and calmly said: "I want full ess to the library."


    "Wow, you ask for neither the "Catalyst" nor the Magic Artifact. Okay, I agree with your request, but I can''t let you go into all the sections."


    Evan had expected an answer like that, so he wasn''t too upset. But it was important for him to know which sections he would be allowed to enter.


    Arabe continued: "You will have ess equal to a fourth rank student in the library, but you still can''t ess all the sections of the library for teachers. Just as you are an "Inner student", you can enter special sections at all four levels. That''s it."


    <I wish there was more, of course, but that''s good enough.> Evan was pleased with the award he had received. He knew that it would be a long time before he was a fourth rank student. It would save him an enormous amount of time this way.


    "By the way, why did you decide to ask me for this particr thing? You''re not even a student of the first rank yet, and you won''t be one until you reach the "One-Pointed Star". The spells above zero rank will be useless to you."


    Evan shrugged and simply replied, "I just want to learn more about this world. The library is a great ce for that."


    Arabe: "Well, as you want, I''ve done my part."


    Whoosh.


    Suddenly the air next to Arabe began to distort and the next moment a small gray amulet appeared in her hand.


    She tossed it to Evan and said: "Here''s your pass, now let me get some sleep."


    "We''ll leave now, but I need to do one more thing." Draven said calmly.


    He took the ring out of his pocket and handed it to Evan. Arabe looked at Draven with surprise and said: "It feels as if you have been changed for the past few days. Are you going to propose to him? AHAHAHAHAHA."


    Draven didn''t react at all to Arabe''s joke and handing Evan the ring said: "This is my gift to you for a great fight, it''s rare to see something like this."


    Evan looked at the ring, he wasn''t quite sure what it was. The ring was silver with a small gray crystal inserted and looked rather simple. Evan thought it was some kind of Magical Artifact, but Draven quickly exined it to him.


    "It''s a spatial ring, not very roomy, only five cubic meters, but it should be enough for the first time. It''s very hard to find a spatial ring of a zero rank so it can be used by the newbie magicians like you. Use it at your pleasure." With a smile on his face, Draven said.


    "A spatial ring...? I don''t know what it is and I don''t know how to use it."


    "Well, that''s not surprising, put some mana in it and you''ll know right away, close your eyes and just concentrate."


    Evan did as Draven had told him. He poured some mana into the ring and the next moment he saw the small space Draven was talking about.


    Draven then walked over to Arabe''s desk and took the quill from it and handed it to Evan.


    "Here, now take this quill and put it on the crystal. Try to move it into the space."


    Evan nodded and took the quill and held it up to the crystal on the ring. At that moment, the space in front of the gray crystal was slightly distorted, as if to prove that the ring was working properly.


    Whoosh.


    Suddenly the quill disappeared and was in the space of the ring. Evan smiled. It was easier than he thought it would be.


    <This is incredible, in the future I will be able to get rings much better than this and have a huge amount of stuff with me. It''s very convenient, I can carry everything I need and it will all be in one ring.>


    The spatial ring was a dreame true for any traveler. There was no need to carry anything and use bags. Also the spatial ring could hold much more than a human can carry.


    "Great, now try to get the quill out of the ring, just think about it." Draven said calmly.


    Whoosh.


    A secondter, the quill was already in Evan''s hand. Using the spatial ring was quite easy. All it took was a little practice and a little concentration.


    "You learn fast."


    Evan put the ring on his finger and said with a smile on his face: "Thanks, it''s a great thing."


    "Okay, show''s over, get out of here, there are people working here actually." Said Arabe.


    "Are you working? You''re doing something only between naps." Said Draven and walked out of the office.


    Evan returned Arabe''s quill and followed his teacher. It worked out even better than he thought it would. He got ess to the library, the right to wear any clothes, and the most useful ring.


    As they left Arabe''s office, Draven wanted to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Evan''s rumbling belly.


    "Ah, sorry it''s my fault. When the students got their teacher lists, they got their food too, but since I took your list myself you were left without breakfast. Hmm, it''s still three hours till the ceremony. Evan, don`t your minding to my ce? I live quite near."


    Evan didn''t think long and quickly replied, "Sure, I don''t want to sit in my room and be bored at all."


    Draven nodded and they headed for the exit of the Academy. Evan wondered where Draven lived. The city at the center, where "The Last Moon" was located, was divided into three zones. At the very center and on the highest point was the Academy building itself.


    After about ten minutes they exited the Academy, but not through the main entrance. When Draven and Evan were behind the Academy and Evan was surprised at what he saw.


    <So, this is what Sana was talking about>. Evan thought to himself looking at therge number of mansions in the distance.


    It was the most elite residential area in the whole city, only teachers and especially distinguished students could live here.
