INSTRUCTOR

Reaching in front of the tower, there is a pair of ten-meter tall statues of warriors with a sword in right hand and shield in left hand made from stone-like material each. The statues wearing an exquisite armor filled with an unknown rune.

The statues look very lifelike. A pair of red jewels on their eyes shimmering like they were alive.

"PLEASE STATE YOUR IDENTITY AND PURPOSE!" A loud voice came out from both of sculpture.

"My name is Marvin Gaius, Second Grade Mage of Ivory Tower escorting our future apprentices" The golden-haired mage answered.

'He also a Gaius just like Raynard Gaius. Well, their hair color is the same. I smell a scheme in the air. ' Max though.

"PERMITTED! ENTER!"

Behind the statues, a huge door suddenly forms on the tower wall. The door is far bigger than the giant statues. A light emitted from the door made everyone guessing what is inside.

"Let's go!" Mage Marvin leads the group entering the huge door.

The others also follow behind him passing the door entering the tower. Inside the tower, there is a huge dome shaped-like hall and in the middle, there is a platform with many peoples stood on it.

[Warning! Warning! Multiple high-level radiations detected in front of the host. Recommend to evacuate 10km away]

Max and the other applicants stand in front of the platform. Their escorts already disappeared to other rooms and only Marvin still stayed on the platform.

"Our Ivory Tower has stood tall over 2000 years created by great Fourth Grade Mage Devon Ivory. Our founder built this tower for keeping all knowledge of mankind in pursuing the truth of universe"

"The place we stand here us the main lobby. There are also dormitories, laboratories, workshops, herb gardens, trading post, mission area and lecture halls.

"The you right now is still not part of our Ivory Tower. Follow us one by one to administration office at my right to register"

Even though applicants supposed to enter one by one, Max, Minerva, and Raynard asked to enter together into administration office.

Inside the office sitting behind a long desk are multiple Mages setting like an interview. The situation seems serious until one woman stands abruptly.

"Minerva! Minerva my daughter! I can finally meet you again" a beautiful young woman suddenly stand and ran towards Minerva. She seems to hold back her tears and turn back to the panel of mages.

"I will instruct my daughter personally. You guys don't have any problem right?"

No one wants to refute her despite her being only First Grade Mage in front of many Second Grade Mage. Why? Because her husband is the Grand Elder.

She brings Minerva out of the room after no one rejected her 'request'.

Then, Marvin who also sat there stand up too. "Raynard already chose me as his instructor. Already as our agreement, no one can oppose it. He also bringing Raynard out.

Now only Max alone stands in front of many Mages. First Grade and Second Grade. He felt like whole his secret being bare laid in front of them. Cold sweat start appeared on his face.

"Ehhemm!" The old Mage sat in the middle of the panel clearing his throat to attract all attention.

"The plan is to let those three grade S talents to choose their own instructors among Second Grade Mage but Elder Anneth already claimed Minerva and Raynard followed Elder Marvin, now only Max left" He explained.

"Max dear, as you heard, you can choose any of us here as your instructor. We will explain to you our specialization one by one."

"I underst.."

"No need!" Before Max answer, a cold voice interrupted him.

Max looked at the source of the voice. He already noticed her presence at far right if the table since he entered the room. Her blue eyes kept staring at him since. Her beauty is so ravishing and you felt like your soul is frozen if looking at her.

"He has the highest compatibility of water and wind. He is a perfect candidate for my magic.

Listen to me boy! Follow me!"

Max is shocked at her aggressiveness. He looks at the face of other Mages and noticed their resignation. He aware that he can't refuse.
