Chapter 153 The Holy Academy’s Test (Part 3)

:::[Third Person POV]:::

A few minutes before Adam's arrival, a lot of impressive people had already made their way through the gate.

After all, talents from every corner of the universe were gathered in one place for this day.

Therefore, even though Adam's arrival was impactful, it wasn't also enough for him to build a proper image of superiority.

Nonetheless, people were taken aback by Adam's handsomeness and Blanca's beauty.

Even among the impressive-looking newcomers, there wasn't anyone as beautiful as these two.

Adam predicted this outcome but what he didn't take into account was that people were also attracted by beautiful things. Therefore, rather than his impressive presence, charisma, and extremely mysterious ability, his external appearance, precisely his face, had more impact on people's opinion of him and was engraved into their minds.

Making his way to the library where all of the participants needed to register for the upcoming test, Adam began to observe his surrounding.

He was amazed by how far the gap between the technology used here and the most advanced technology on earth was. It made the invention of the satellite seem like child's play.

The theme of fantasy was made so that it blended well with how the most advanced civilization of this universe should be portrayed. The result didn't disappoint, at least, it was something that Adam had found impressive.

Nevertheless, he didn't let any of that show on his face as continued to move forward.

The Holy Academy was constituted of bits of land that floated in the air. These pieces of land were not of the same size and Adam was currently at the entrance.

Even though it was just the entrance and had a huge majestic gate, the area around it was almost as big as a whole city.

Hence, to travel to the next destination, which was the library, people had to travel through a transparent tube made of extremely durable material, so that the vehicle could travel at full speed.

These tubes connected the Holy Academy and were also a way to check everyone who visited the area.

After all, the whole floating island was protected by an invisible shield. It was said that there are a lot of valuable resources, and knowledge contained inside the Library.

As such, even though some part of the library was accessible to the public, the number of visitors per day was limited.

In addition to this, there was a pathway that was built differently from the tubes and was designed for visitors who preferred walking on foot and enjoying the scenery.

Apart from the library, some of the pieces of land that was part of the Academy didn't all have structures built on top of them. There were beautiful forests full of exotic plants and animals, and also a lot of open airfields for students to enjoy their breaks.

Access to this area was restricted but visitors could take a look at this beautiful scenery while walking if they wanted to.

All of this intrigued Adam but he still had a lot of things to do so he decided to take the fastest way.

There was only one vehicle for each tube and it took ten to fifteen minutes to travel from one area to another. Moreover, unless the person was part of the royal family, everyone got the same treatment.

Nonetheless, if he used this vehicle to move around on his first day, Adam feel like he would be seen as similar to everyone else.

Still, he wasn't yet as important as the Royal family and he wasn't also a teacher from the Academy so for him to get special treatment was unlikely.

Looking at the people who were lining up, waiting for their turn to use the vehicle, Adam already knew what he needed to do.

After all, if he ended up liking it there, taking the other pathway would have been a better choice.

'Okay, it's time to teleport,' Adam thought to himself.

Of course, he couldn't teleport himself or someone else but it was not like it was impossible for him to at least make it look like he teleported.

Indeed, special people got special treatment but people with special abilities could deal with every situation in a special way.

Because of this, all of the people who were following Adam's every movement felt like they were hallucinating.

Some rubbed their eyes, some asked the people next to them if they saw the same thing and there were who pretended to not see anything.

No one could blame them for their reactions though, after all, two people who were there a second ago disappeared without a trace.

People were already wondering what Adam was doing when he rose to the sky, but then he disappeared with Blanca.

"What happened?"

"Who are they?"

Within the few minutes after Adam's disappearance, people began to chatter and rumors began to circulate.

At the same time, the defense department of the Holy Academy received an alert that they had never encountered since the implementation of the invisible field around the Academy.

"Sir, this is! There was a breach in the barrier!"

In the past, multiple individuals attempted to bypass the inspection at the gate, but they never managed to make it past the barrier. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

Consequently, all of the personnel working to maintain the security around the Academy were just surprised. They were all qualified for their job, but it was not an uncommon occurrence for some of them to retire without anything much happening.

Most of the high-ranked officers who liked exploration and bloody fights against monsters treated the job of the head of this department as a joke.

Still, if monsters managed to reach the Empire's main planet, the Holy Academy would be one of the Empire's last lines of defense.

Moreover, assuring the security of the students was something that shouldn't be taken lightly as they were the future of the empire. Some wanted to erase those talents while they were young and the Holy Academy had the responsibility to not let this happen.

Considering all of that, it made sense that they knew all of the people who passed through the gate.

Thus, the breach in the barrier was something that shouldn't be taken lightly.

"Dispatch the Black Troops immediately!" The head of the department ordered. "Search every corner of the Holy Academy and if you found someone suspicious who can't prove their identity, kill them!"

This high-ranked officer couldn't let this incident bring shame to his name because on top of being demoted, he would end up as a laughing stock if he didn't find the culprit or find the origin of this problem as fast as possible.

After all, this was his only job, and for him to fail his duties was not something he could afford to let happen.

Unfortunately for them, Adam was not someone that they could handle. While they were searching around the area where the breach was detected, Adam had already arrived at the library.

What he did was simple, he used Cristal's ability to turn invisible on him and Blanca. In other words, he finally developed a full-body suit that used reflection and dynamic LEDs, added with Cristal's 360-degree visions and nanoparticles, to make perfect replicates of everything behind him and around him while he was moving.

Nonetheless, he just needed the tip of his finger to create a thin layer of Dark matter that made a hole in the barrier as if he was delicately making a circle on a glass.

Of course, the barrier would reconstruct itself, so Adam blocked the Darkmatter and passed through it easily.

He was fully aware of what he was doing but instead of being treated like everyone else, he found it more fitting to go where he wanted to go without any time as no one could restrict him.

If they didn't want him to use his ability to do whatever he wanted to get the result appropriate for his status, then they could have given him special treatment, or so he thought.

Nonetheless, he knew that he was being unreasonable, but the way he was now, he could let anyone look down on him for something as simple as traveling inside of a crowded vehicle.

In other words, those who didn't take this public transportation were already one step ahead of everyone else.

Their performance during the test would change a lot of things, of course, but as an elite of the elite, Adam couldn't afford to ignore such a thing.

Thus, everyone looked up to the sky as Adam descended as if he was an angel who was sent from heaven.

His cape almost looked like beautiful wings and his face radiated an aura of holiness.

Again, Adam wanted to make an impressive appearance but people's reactions were slightly different from his expectations.

No one knew where he came from but his feet had only touched the ground when he was in front of the Holy Library's entrance.

Bianca standing next to him made the scene more impressive than it already was.

"Hey, you! Where did you come from?"

Nonetheless, there were always fools who got ahead of themselves because of their ignorance. Just because his name and abilities were not known to the public, Adam found it a little bit annoying to see people who couldn't assess his capabilities just by seeing him.
