Mars was sleeping, after some time he once again found himself in the pure white room floating as memories passed by
"I wonder what's going to happen today..."
Mars emptied his head for useless thoughts and focused on the flashing memories that passed by in the form of images and gradually one of the pictures cleared up and showed a stern looking old man
"is that grandfather...? my grandfather..."
the stern looking old man was clad in a military uniform, he looked to be in peak physical form with firm muscles his uniform failed to hide all over his body, giving the impression he was a bodybuilder and not a high ranking officer in the Unified Terran Army or UTA for short
"didn't I have a dream about visiting grandfather... now I remember... the contract"
large amount of information flowed into Mars's head, most of it was about a contract his father had signed before he married his mother
"now I see... genetic engineering over multiple generations...."
the UTA had collected genetic samples from soldiers for over 100 years before they 'made' the perfect soldiers called Alphas in hundreds and over 500 years later Mars's family was one of the most pure Alpha family left, that is until his dad fell in love with offworlder
"and then the contract insured that I joined the UTA when I was 15..."
Mars suddenly felt a whole lot of things made sense when he knew he had been in the military form when he was 15...
"well whatever..."
Mars looked around the pure white space and found it dimming slightly as he passed out and fell asleep...
"Mars wake up"
"hmm... give me a second"
Mars woke up and sat up and looked around
"good morning Mars"
"...good morning Hanna"
Mars looked at Hanna that had come to wake him up, she was crouching down and wearing a sundress with a mantel over it
"...isn't that the same mantel as Ivan's?"
"it's the uniform for the academy"
"I see... it looks good on you"
Hanna gave a smile and stood up before she gave a spin
"you think so?"
"yeah..."
"well in that case what do you think about my---"
"Hanna, Mars we need to go!"
"oh, well you heard Ivan get up Mars"
"yeah yeah, give me a second"
Mars crawled out of his bedroll and put on his boots before he picked up his sheath and strapped it to his belt and stretched before he walked over to the carriage and got on after greeting the coachman
"sorry for keeping you all waiting and good morning to you all"
"good morning Mars"
after Mars greeted the people in the carriage and sat down next to Elsa the carriage shock slightly as it set off down the dirt road, around midday the 2 carriage convoy reached the gates of academy city where all 5 people got of the carriage for an inspection by the city's guards
"next"
a queue of all sorts of people was lined up outside of the gate, at the gate stood 3 guards that checked the people that wanted to enter the city
"sure is a lot better security than Malrton"
Ivan that was right behind Mars in line quickly explained
"that's because the only thing bordering Malrton is the Mother forest, besides the academy houses important researches and grimoires"
"I see"
"next"
quickly Mars's turn came and he stepped up to the guards
"state your name"
"Mars"
".... and the name of your pet?"
"that's Victoria"
"is it tame?"
"...yes she is"
"what's your purpose for visiting?"
"I'm here to sign up at the academy"
the guard paused slightly before he asked the next question
"are you a member of a guild?"
"yes"
Mars pulled out his steel tag and showed it the guard
"hoo~ steel, that's pretty good for your age"
"thanks"
"what's in the bag?"
"armor, money, magic beast cores and a bedroll"
"...do you mind if I take a look?"
"no I don't but..."
Mars gave a look behind him at the long queue of slightly dissatisfied and impatient people
"...yeah your right, you can pass... next!"
Mars passed the guard and walked through the gate into the city, the ground was paved with cobblestone and the most of the building was made of stone bricks and had some clear looking glass for windows, of in the distance Mars saw what looked like a clock tower
"neat"
Mars and Victoria walked of to the side and waited for the rest of the group that soon got into the city, the carriages also soon passed the inspection and drove in the gate, Mars walked up to Hanna and asked
"what now?"
"now we head to the academy and get you registered, unless you need to do something first?"
"hmm..."
Mars stoked his chin and remembered something
"can you show me the way to the temple?"
"the temple? sure it's on the way to the academy anyway"
with Hanna leading the way Mars, Hanna and Victoria walked through the city's busy streets
"wait where did the others go?"
"they went ahead to the academy"
"oh, okay"
as Mars followed after Hanna he looked around the streets and at the people going on with their lives
'almost half seem to be students... it really is the academy city'
most of the people on the streets whore a mantel like the one Hanna and Ivan was wearing while they walked around, after walking for about 10 minutes Hanna stopped in front of a temple like building with a bell tower
"here it is"
"ho~ this certainly looks more like a temple in Malrton"
Mars admired the building that looked like it was made of smoothed marble bricks before he walked into the building
'this really feels like a temple...'
the inside of the temple was lit by candles and sparsely decorated, there was also a counter with a priest like person standing behind it
"hello can I help you two?"
Mars walked up to the counter and looked at the priest that carried a businesses smile on his calm face
"yes, is there any prayer room available?"
"certainly right this way"
Hanna sat down in a waiting room and gave Mars a wave as he and Victoria followed after the priest further into the temple
"oh right... could you take me to a prayer room with the best avatar?"
"the best avatar?"
the priest stopped and look at Mars with a funny face, right until Mars pulled out his necklace of the apostle and showed it to the priest
"A-Apostle!? right this way please"
Mars followed after the slightly panicked priest and soon arrived at a door deep into the temple
"right though this door is the best prayer room, please take your time"
"thanks"
Mars opened the door and walked into the prayer room before he looked around
'...this seem high class'
the prayer room was decorated with complex gold engravings on the marble walls, in the middle of the room was a clear crystal ball that floated mid air and behind it was a altar wade mostly of gold where a doll the size of a 10 year old child lay, the doll was wearing a nun habit lined with gold tread and decorated with gemstones of various sizes
"yep this sure is high class, I wonder who uses this room normally..? maybe royalty?"
Mars walked up to the crystal ball and laid his hand on it, the room shock slightly when he touched the crystal ball much like a computer waking up
[SUBJECT #5 CONFIRMED REQUEST DESCEND?]
"yes please"
[ACTIVATING ISOLATION BARRIER... COMPLETE, SENDING REQUEST... REQUEST APPROVED, SUBJECT: INFORMATION BEGINNING DESCEND...]
Mars took a step back as a formless pressure descended from the heavens into the avatar a few seconds later the avatar shock slightly before floating up into the air, standing upright in the air the eyes of the avatar fluttered slightly before opening showing eyes that was as bright as stars, feeling even more pressure Mars grabbed the hilt of his sword and watched the holy avatar that preceded to put on a unladylike face before shuddering slightly
"ahh~ that's the stuff~"
"...Info?"
"sorry Mars give me second~"
"okay?"
Info closed her eyes and floated back down on the ground and after half a minute she opened her eyes again
"are you okay Info?"
"yeah I'm fine"
"...what was that about?"
"that..? oh it was just the feeling of a high class avatar that caught me off guard"
"I see..."
Info waved her hand and a table with 3 chairs appeared in the room
"please take a seat"
"thanks"
Mars walked over and sat down before he pulled the other chair closer and patted his thigh
"Victoria"
Victoria quickly jumped up on the chair and nestled into Mars lap before she began purring
"now, first of congratulations are in order"
"congratulations?"
"for reaching level 20, let me give you a gift to celebrate"
"a gift?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
