As soon as Zack heard that name, he couldn't help but feel surprised and nervous at the same time.
Without him knowing, he had been talking with one of the strongest cultivators alive. As far as he knew, Edwin Cloakwolf had been an important figure before the battle between worlds that caused the appearance of corruption in their world, but after those events, his figure became even more important.
This was because, after the battle, the Warrior Queen Raziel declared both the head of the Ventar Academy and the head of the Bluestar Family traitors. After all, according to what she said, they were responsible for the death of her father. This caused a series of battles between both sides, which ended in the deaths of both the rivals of the Warrior Queen.
When this happened, Edwin, as the head of the Cloakwolf family, did his best to secure the remains of the Bluestar family and helped the Ventar Academy to find a new headmaster. Not only that, but he also did his best to prepare for the migration of both tribes toward the new continent.
Not only was he a great and experienced warrior, but he was also a great leader, which made him very respected by any non-Guburg cultivator.
"I'm Zack. I was the leader of Xele's third anticultist group until a few days ago. Nice to meet you, Sir." Zack quickly introduced himself.
"Come on, don't call me Sir. It sounds like I'm an old man. " Edwin said with a broad smile on his face." Let's go. We need to introduce you to the headmaster of the academy so you can be free to do whatever you want."
Without really understanding what was happening, Zack found himself being dragged by the arm by Edwin, who was guiding him through the corridors of the castle.
While they were walking through them, Zack observed everything around him while Zack explained things.
"You see, in the past, the Ventar Academy was an Esvert exclusive organization, so they only focused on studying new spells. After coming to the new continent, and after receiving support from my family, they became open to anyone that wished to join if they were capable enough. Thanks to that, Youko cultivators joined the academy too, and they began to practice their martial arts by the side of the Ventar Academy, making them mix their different skills, so right now you can learn almost anything in this school. " Edwin explained.

As they were walking through the corridors, Zack saw people of all ages, from small kids not older than ten years old to white-haired men who couldn't walk without the aid of some kind of walking stick. He also saw that both tribes were mixing, as he could see some people that looked like Esverts carrying weapons and others that looked like Youko's cultivators studying theories from a paper scroll.
Even though he saw that he also felt that those that studied magic didn't mix well with those that studied martial arts, as they were segregated into different groups.
"Is there any kind of problem between warriors and scholars? They don't seem to get along too well. " Zack asked Edwin curiously.
"Well, the key to mastering martial arts is repetition and practice, while the key to mastering magic is studying, so it makes sense to group with people that have the same needs as you so you can get feedback from each other, "Edwin explained. "But yes, warriors and scholars usually don't work together too well, but hopefully we will be able to fix that problem soon."
Some minutes later, they both arrived at a double door, where Edwin knocked.
"This is the headmaster's office. Since I have guided you until here, I will go inside with you and be your support while you are there." Edwin said while winking an eye at Zack.
A few seconds later, a feminine voice was heard from inside.
"You can pass, it's open." said the voice.
After hearing that, Edwin quickly opened the door and walked into the room, with Zack following him from behind. When he was inside, Zack saw a middle-aged woman behind a desk. She had the representative white hair and dark skin of the Esvert, so Zack quickly assumed that she was the academy's headmaster.
"Oh, it's you, Edwin. What do you need? " She asked as she looked away from the paperwork on her desk.
"Well, I had met this man who came from the old continent and had a recommendation letter from Jules, so I thought about guiding him here," Edwin said while smiling.
At that moment, the woman looked at Zack before starting to speak.
"Do you have a letter from Jules? Where it is?" she asked.
"Here," Zack answered as he gave her the letter.
Without losing a second, the woman opened the letter and began to read it. After a few minutes of waiting, she looked at Zack.
"Everything looks in order. We will arrange a room for you to stay in for now. The letter says that you have relatives that have already come to this continent, so if you write down their data in this paper, we will begin to look for them as soon as possible." The woman said as she handed Zack a piece of paper."I'm Letine, the actual headmaster of the Ventar Academy, and I welcome you to it."
