Gift Bag

The crystal winged pegasus soared through the sea of clouds for another hour or so before Calvin grabbed onto its reins and pulled it, indicating that he wished for the pegasus to slow down.

He then turned his head to look at Ivan and said, "We've arrived."

The boy nodded his head in silence while he wore a mask of indifference.

Calvin thought that Ivan was acting calm whereas in fact, it was mainly due to one of the boy's skills, Calm Mind.

Additionally, it was because Ivan had spent the entire journey holed up in his sea of knowledge researching a new creation art with Leviathan that when Calvin called out to him, he was still in a daze.

It was mere coincidence that Calm Mind activated when Ivan was about to reveal a blank look to his caretaker.

Chaos on the other hand, lightly chuckled when the skill activated. 'It looks like the boy's system gained some sentience. Good for him.'

Calvin pointed towards a spike in the sea of clouds and said, "That's Jumper Academy's control tower. I've been given permission to land. Peggy, you can descend now."

Dazed, Ivan nodded on, not realizing that the Crystal Winged Pegasus had already begun its descent at air ripping speed.

The boy only regained his senses shortly after.

But since calm mind was still active, Ivan didn't show much of a reaction despite falling at air ripping speed.

Minutes later, the Crystal Winged Pegasus successfully descended onto a landing pad within Jumper Academy's Airport.

Calvin got off his pegasus first before he helped Ivan down.

Two men dressed in yellow robes ran over to the two to receive them moments later.

"I'm Gerald and this is my assistant Gery. We were sent here to escort you two back to the academy with haste. The Orientation Ceremony is about to start soon so it's best if we can leave right now." One of the men in yellow quickly said.

The other man named Gery walked over to Ivan before he casted levitation magic on the boy as well as his suitcase.

He then turned towards Calvin and said, "I've applied levitation magic to the aforementioned freshman as well as his things. Gravity is annoying so I'll be pulling the boy along as I fly later."

Calvin nodded at Geri's words. He understood where Geri was coming from.

Now that they were in Jumper Academy, flight magic was the only mode of transportation between the airport and the school grounds.

The academy banned flying using tamed beasts since the school's administration wanted students to learn how to wield magic quickly and effectively.

Thus, since Ivan had yet to learn flight magic, Calvin would've had to run the whole way back to the academy with the boy while carrying his stuff as well.

Headmaster Na would have killed him if he knew he left Ivan in the dust.

Without a moment of hesitation, a pair of dragon wings protruded out of Calvin's back.

With a flap of his wings, Calvin soared into the sky with great speed.

Gerald and Geri looked at each other for a moment before they too casted flight magic and soared after Calvin.

But since Geri had Ivan and his luggage strapped to him, he took a longer time to reach Jumper Academy's main gate compared to Gerald and Calvin.

By then, Ivan's Calm Mind skill had ended.

"Woah!" The boy exclaimed loudly.

Wherever he looked, people of all ages walked by him with the aura of a proud wizard.

Some people left elemental trails behind them as they entered the school grounds, others floated past the school gates without touching the floor once.

There were even students who rode on their familiars into the school. For example, one student rode a giant rock ape while another student was carried to school via a carriage pulled by metal reindeers.

Ivan felt that he had entered a whole new world as compared to his time in Seishi.

He was simply amazed by everything he saw there despite being only at the entrance of the academy.

But just as he was about to go and take a look inside the academy grounds, Calvin grabbed onto his collar and pulled him back.

"Where do you think you're going, child?" Calvin asked him with a stern face.

To which Ivan timidly answered. "Uh, to go take a look inside the school?"

"Absolutely not. Rejected. You're coming with me to settle your registration." Calvin replied flatly.

He quickly casted a binding spell onto Ivan so that he wouldn't run away before he transformed his arm into a dragon claw.

He then made a chopping gesture with his dragon claw which ripped a hole in time and space.

On the other side of the tear in space was the academy's administration office.

"Get in." Calvin kicked Ivan into the tear in space before he entered himself.

The tear in space closed by itself afterwards.

Calvin proceeded to drag Ivan over to one of the reception desks in the administration office.

After having bind Ivan to the floor using fortification magic, Calvin greeted the receptionist before he slipped her his identification card.

"My name is Calvin and my wizard rank is Sage. Please inform the head office that I'm here to help Ivan Chaos pick up his uniform as well as his dorm key and gift bag." [Calvin]

"Welcome to Jumper Academy, Draconic Sage Calvin. The head office has already informed us of your arrival. Please have the child press his right thumb here and here. We'll send you his gift bag shortly after."

Calvin nodded his head.

With a snap of his fingers, the binding magic that locked Ivan in place disappeared.

"Follow the receptionist's orders so that we can get your welcome gift and leave." [Calvin]

"Yes, uncle." Ivan nodded his head.

He pressed his right thumb onto a magical scanner twice before the receptionist gave him his uniform and gift bag.

His dorm key was in his gift bag so he didn't need to worry about it either.
