Chapter 30 : Arcanum University

While everyone else was still in the mage executor's building, Elias had already moved, getting on a taxi and heading towards his University. Other student might have chosen to go back home first, but Elias chose to go to University. It was the place closest to the latest information.

If there was any new information about magic world, his University would be one of the first to know. This was because his University was a famous University in magic research.

On a taxi, Elias was texting using his phone. As expected, his mum was nervous about Elias's situation. Seeing the news on internet, his mum couldn't get off the fear in her mind, worrying about Elias.

There were 23 missed calls and 3 unread messages from his mum.

"Son, are you ok? Where are you now? Pick up my phone."

"Mum, no need to worry. I am safe. I quickly ran away from the danger." Elias replied.

* Ring ring ring.

Elias's phone was ringing. He picked it up without any hesitation.

"Son, where are you? I saw the news just now. How are you?"

"Mum, no worries. I am fine, I ran very fast. No one hurt me."

"You sure ah? You don't lie to mummy ah."

"Ya, sure. No injured at all. Now I am on the way to University."

"You want to come back home first?"

"Is ok, I go to report to University first."

"Let me know when you settle down in University ya."

"Okay"

Elias opened another chat. There were two unread messages in the chat.

"Bro, I can use attacking magic now. You see" Joseph texted.

Elias watched the video. Joseph was doing a 1 stars water magic. A water ball was forming in the air and shot on the ground, causing nothing but a wet ground. If it was a normal 1 stars water magic, it should damage the ground a bit. However, the water ball created by Joseph only wetted the ground. It was obvious that this Joseph haven't fully mastered the skill.

"Ya, seems like everyone can use magic now." Elias thought.

"Not bad man, water magic." As a beginner, Joseph actually did well. Learning a magic on his own, Joseph managed to cast a water ball. Quite talented.

"Not sure why, I tried many magic element. Water is the easiest to learn. Elias you should try also." Joseph texted

"Normal, some people was born to be close with water element, some close with other elements. Probably water element suits you." Elias replied. 

In front of the Arcanum University, Elias got off from the bus. At the entrance, his gazed settled on a lot of massive and tall building. It was few hundred meters long on every direction and each building had few levels. 

Even among all the University in the world, Arcanum University was one of the university with such a large campus.

There were some people inside. It supposed to be more people, but because Elias was late. Most of the new student registered already.

Elias walked into the University, carrying his backpack, looking for the registration desk. Soon, he found the registration desk. It was located inside the main building.

Elias grinned when he found the registration desk. 

"Hi I am a new student, I am here to report to University. " Elias said.

A receptionist girl raised her head and looked at Elias.

"Hi, welcome to Arcanum University. Can I have your invitation letter?" the receptionist girl greeted and smiled.

"Here." Elias handed her his invitation letter.

Soon, the receptionist girl completed the registration.

"Here is your student card. This is your hostel key. Remember to attend the new student ceremony tomorrow." receptionist girl said.

"Thank you." Elias said.

Elias took the student card and the key, put it into his backpack. Then, he headed to the hostel. He was wondering who would be his room mate. In this life, instead of choosing magic circle courses, Elias chose the magic potion courses. He felt it was pointless to learn the same courses again. Having a chance to choose the course, he decided to choose a different course.

...

At hostel, Elias entered the room. It was a big hostel with a living room and 4 room. Everyone got their own room. 

As Elias opened the door, he noticed that there were three persons in the living room. 

"Hi, I am Alex." Alex said

"Hi, Ben" Ben said.

"Hello, I am Chris."

"Hi, I am Elias." Elias said.

After talking for a while, Elias understood their background.

Alex, a rich guy. He came from a rich family. Not super rich like Ryan, but rich enough to gave him 50000 dollar as his living expenses.

Ben, a cold guy. He seldom talk. In the conversation, he only spoke few words. From the conversation, Elias knew that Ben was a top student.

Chris, a cheerful guy. A bit naive on how he see the world, like to make jokes.

"Elias, you saw the news? It was so scary." Chris said.

"I was there, that is why I was late." Elias said.

"Wow, really?" Alex said.

"Ya, you guys can read the news posted by the mage executor." Elias said.

It was around 6 pm now. Chris suggested.

"You guys want to have dinner together? I haven't try the canteen."

"Hmm, I got a date later. Not joining." Elias said. He was going to have dinner with Mia. Mia said that she want to treat him dinner this morning.
