After 5 minutes he was in the commander's office, and he was teleported to the academy grounds without any ceremony or fanfare.
Dawn was glad that he didn't have to go through all of this. Dawn's vision started to spin, and he felt as if the space around him twisted and turned.
When Dawn opened his eyes again he was standing in front of a humongous gate, boys and girls were lined up in a long queue, waiting for their turn.
Dawn turned his head to look behind him, only to find an endless white ground with no person in sight.
Dawn sighed, he was once again at the end. He looked in front of him, there were 200-300 cultivators at the Body refining rank 6 standing in front of him moving at a slow pace.
"Is this the Empire's Greatest Magic Academy," The youth standing in front of Dawn muttered with dissatisfaction in his tone.
The youth had navy blue hair and was dressed in relatively simple clothes compared to other cultivators in the line, navy blue pants and a T-shirt.
"What's wrong with the people in the academy… we have Ai chips for fucks sake." The youth with navy blue hair continued to complain, with every passing second his voice continued to increase.
His emotions seemed to resonate with the other cultivators, as many other boys and girls started murmuring among themselves.
But their complaint seemed to not affect the administration as the line continued to move at the same pace.
After 5 minutes Dawn had to take his words back, their complaints did have some effect on the administration.
Dawn looked at the ground, the earlier white ground was starting to turn red, Dawn could feel the temperature beneath his feet increasing with every passing second.
The expression of the youth in front of him turned ugly, he understood that the staff was punishing them. The cultivators who didn't before had a wronged expression on their face, why were they being punished when they didn't complain?
Dawn didn't mind the increasing temperature, he felt the temperature was bearable, but the other cultivators didn't think the same.
They started jumping like frogs to avoid the heat, but not everyone like this. The only people who were jumping were those, who couldn't avoid the heat like others.
Some cultivators avoided the heat by freezing the ground beneath their feet, some used their fire magic, and gradually everyone was able to avoid the heat.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Slowly hours continued to pass, Dawn checked the time with the help of an AI chip, It was 2 in the afternoon.
Dawn started to frown, even the cultivators in front of him had their expressions darkened because the temperature beneath their feet remained the same, but they had run out of mana.
Thud! A loud sound of a body falling to the ground came from the front, Dawn narrowed his eyes to look at the scene, a person had fallen to the ground due to exhaustion.
The murmurs suddenly died down and pin-drop silence enveloped the surroundings, Dawn felt the temperature below his feet going down. It wasn't as hot as before.
The cultivators seemed to guess something, their eyes shined collectively, and none of them spoke. Their guess was proven right as after 15 minutes the heat disappeared completely.
In these 3 hours, only 50 persons had managed to go inside, there were still 150 cultivators standing in front of him.
Dawn knew all the youth in the form of children of international people and cream of the crop when it came to talent. They were the best of the best.
Dawn glanced at his surroundings, there wasn't much to observe other than the cultivators in front of him, the academy ground seemed to be covered with a 20-foot-tall wall made of some unknown material.
Dawn turned his head up to observe the sky, he frowned as there were no clouds above his head, even the moon appeared bigger than usual.
Dawn noticed this anomaly for the first time, Dawn shook his head to clear it of unnecessary thoughts.
After 3 more hours, it was finally his turn. The row in front of Dawn had disappeared; the youth with navy blue hair had just entered inside.
Dawn found one more thing strange in these 6 hours and the youth with navy blue hair didn't even try to talk to him even once. This was not normal. Dawn didn't know whether to feel happy or sad about it.
" Show me your letter of recommendation."
A calm and intimidating voice put a full stop to Dawn's inner thoughts.
"Yes. Here is my letter of recommendation." Dawn relied on a normal voice. He didn't want to appear haughty or arrogant in front of the staff. Dawn brought out the letter that he kept with him all this time.
A guard took the Dawn token with a frown on his face.
"Sorry but you are late, I can't allow you to enter inside," the guard said in an indifferent voice after observing Dawn's letter for a minute.
Dawn looked at the guard while narrowing his eyes, he frowned. The commander didn't mention anything about being late and how he could be late when he was standing in front of the gate since 11 in the morning.
Dawn frowned after thinking for a moment he understood the guard's intention, he was trying to force him to give some Goldfire stone.
Dawn looked at the guard as if he was the stupidest person on the planet.
"Are you stupid," Dawn said these three words in an indifferent voice, although he questioned the guard but he already knew this guard was beyond stupid.
"Ridiculous!.. Dawn didn't want to waste his breath on such a stupid person.
"What did you say?" the guard roared at the top of his lungs, his face turning red in anger. He couldn't believe this guy in black hair was talking to him like this.
He wanted to earn some money from this black-haired guy. He thought, what can this helpless guy do. After all, he was the last person in the line.
No one will know a thing, But here this brat was calling him stupid, the guard's expression was of utter fury.
Suddenly the sound of footsteps came and a lazy voice came from behind the gates," What's with the commotion?"
The guard's face darkened after hearing the
voice, the guard's furious expression instantly turned into a friendly one.
