Arthur glanced at the direction the sound came from, yet it was in a high leveled balcony; so he didn't see the features of that elder quite well.

"It hasn't happened before, but that doesn't mean it's prohibited," Mr. E spoke with a high tone, "so we can't blame the boy for being greedy."

"Yet he has to know this comes with great responsibility," one of the elders said; a woman she was, "each master here has a long list of weekly assignments. He has to finish them, either alone or with the help of his team."

Mr. E didn't reply, as he glanced at Arthur who instantly said: "I understand the stakes and am ready to shoulder the responsibility."

"You heard the boy," and this time Slone couldn't hold himself back anymore, "he promises to be a good lad and do all the tasks required."

"You can't go easy on him or favor him because he has many masters," another elder spoke, warning the four masters on the platform. "Our academy has a reputation to guard," he added.

"Rest assured Mr. L, we know what we have to do," Cesile also spoke up, supporting Slone and Arthur.

"Great," Mr. E spoke up before adding, "it's settled. The boy will choose five masters. Whose in favor raises hands," he then asked for a vote.

And Arthur didn't find it surprising for the most of the present here to aid Mr. E's decision.

"That's decided then," and Mr. E said in a happy tone, "let this be a rare moment of our history. A disciple coming from an unknown clan to take five masters and achieve grade seven. Welcome Willy," he said, while congratulating Arthur.

"Thanks, Mr. E."

"For you it's the grand elder," Mr. E corrected him with a joke.

"Thanks, grand elder," and Arthur complied.

"Now go, you need to rest then start your teachings tomorrow."

Arthur heard the sounds of many doors being shut. "It seems some are pissed off at me," and he chuckled, not feeling any pressure at the moment.

His focus was entirely on how to reach the other world.

"Good lad, I will see you tomorrow in my courtyard," Slone said while Otman patted on his shoulder followed by Armond who just gave him a nod.

Then all vanished fast from his eyesight while he joined his group with Cesile walking on his side.

"You know… you surprised me inside for a moment there, hehehe," she was extremely happy about this unexpected result. "I bet she even didn't see this coming," she said, referring to Amanda.

"I just wanted to learn all of what they spoke of," he tried to justify himself, as he sensed some doubt in her words.

"Surely you are an extraordinary mage," she said before adding, "anyway I will lead you now to your new residence. As your grade is high, you will stay here in the core academy with your team."

"Oh, the core academy, that looks fantastic," Arthur said, expressing his delight.

"By the way, do you know some elders didn't like what you scored?" she said while leading the path with Arthur walking a step behind.

"I noticed," he replied, "they seem quite annoyed by what I did," he added.

"Sure, they hailed from great clans and guilds. Such pathetic existence is mean and dark. I wanted once to investigate the background of each great clan and guild, to see if some are dealing with black clans here. Yet these elders led a giant move against me at that time, tsk."

Arthur gave her a side glance, thinking if she would be the right person to seek. "Where is your courtyard? Here?" he asked.

"No, only Amanda has her own courtyard here, given that she has no disciples at all," she said before adding, "see that building over there? Her courtyard lies just behind it. So near to your dorm actually."

She pointed to a direction then to another opposite one, making Arthur speechless. 'How could the two be close?!!' he wondered, while walking behind her towards the direction of his dorm.

After a half an hour walk, and through meeting very few disciples and masters who gave the new faces a curious looks; they finally reached their place of residence.

Calling it a dorm was such an understating word. It was a giant mansion, with a wall surrounding it and three small buildings inside.

The main mansion was three stories high, the typical of most buildings they saw so far. "Here, you will stay in this place," Cesile said while enjoying the reaction on everyone's faces. "What do you think of this?"

"Just… awesome!" Amelia was really shocked with such generosity. She heard many words among the crowd while waiting for Arthur to return; all were speaking about common dorms where many disciples would share the place with others.

But this one… it was like having their own territory inside the academy.

"Now go inside and familiarize yourselves on the place," Cesile said before adding, "you should ask for maids to come and servants as well if you want. If you do, then ask any of your masters tomorrow and he or she will arrange that for you."

She then started to walk away, very fast, disappearing soon from their eyesights.

"Go inside, I have something to do," Arthur suddenly said before turning to Amelia, "you will be responsible for leading my team here. Arrange everything until I return."

He didn't wait for anyone to say anything before moving after Cesile. He walked to the direction of Amanda's dorm, while others glanced at him for a moment before Amelia took the charge in his stead.

"You heard the clan master, go inside and let's arrange where you will sleep."

She then took everyone inside, while few eyes were tracking them, and now they started to track Arthur.

Arthur didn't notice them, as he walked fast towards Amanda's residence. If there was someone here willing to help him, Amanda would be that person.
