Dream arrived at the front of the academy.He had gone to the castle that the monitor pointed him to a day ago. Though he also tracked the watch on Riddick just in case.As he flew over, he got a good look a the castle that was the academy. It was basically 4 different Spires in a square connected by walls. It was very tall and covered a huge amount of ground. Dream couldn't see hardly any buildings that size except for the biggest buildings in the city center. It was bigger than any college campus that he'd seen before. Made sense because it had to house all its students and faculty.After he got to the entrance, he spotted Riddick and flew over, landing in front of him and undoing stealth."Good day, Old Man.""Boy.""Am I all good? What have you told them?""I refrained from telling them much other than you're a recently advanced class 2. What have you set your class to?""I was going to ask you for ideas.""Hmm... I would just set it to mage. It's common but versatile.""Alright.
Dream and Riddick left Amitel's office together."So that's it? Barely an hour and I'm a student?"Dream spoke to Riddick as they walked. He nodded."That's what happens when one of the top counselors personally admits and sets you up. Otherwise it would take longer, but even then not more than a day.""Huh. Alright. So how's this house of mine going to be?""Don't expect too much. It's not bad but not as comfortable as our cabin. Definitely not as big.""Oh. I'll make it work. So what about you? Where will you be while I'm here?""I'm going to be developing myself over in another Spire. It actually isn't far from here. If you have time, you could visit my research area.""I see. Maybe I will.""We're here."Dream looked up and saw a massive building. The place they were at was a bit away from where all the classes and other school buildings were. It was the dormitory.They walked into this building and went over to a counter where a woman was sitting around. She saw them approach."C
Dream soon arrived at his Elemental sequencing class.He walked in and repeated the same process of standing for an introduction. The teacher this time was an older man named Mr. Modric, who looked to be in his 70s and was also a class 2. He had a rough voice and plenty of grey hair, giving Dream an old, wise man vibe."Class, this is Dream. He's new here and he's going to be joining us. Be sure to help him out if he needs it. Go ahead and find a seat up there, Dream."The teacher pointed and Dream went over, finding an empty seat. Though before he took a seat, he asked the person next to it if it had already been taken. After hearing that it wasn't, he took it."Alright. Today we're going to continue practicing. Everyone open back up to page 76 and take a look at the water diagram."Dream took out his book and flipped to page 76. On it was a magic circle that could supposedly gather and control water. Dream brought up his hand and mimicked the diagram.*Shine*The circle formed and c
To finish the drills, Dream had to do a sprint from one end of the stadium to the other, then back.This actually caused him to get a bit excited. It had been a long time since he'd done a proper sprint. So as he approached the starting line, his heart began to beat a bit faster in nervousness.'It's like a habit, getting nervous before a sprint. I was never able to control that.'It felt like butterflies were in his stomach. Though before the nervousness made him feel weak, his mind unconsciously eased and the tension naturally dissipated. This was the subtle change that more power would bring about. Since his power came primarily from the mind, it meant his psyche was naturally stronger as well. He wouldn't get nervous, fearful, or tense as easily anymore.When Dream stepped to the line, he instinctively took a starting stance. His left foot went forward, right foot back, right arm down, and left arm back. The people around him looked at him weirdly, wondering why he was in such a c
"Yes, I am the new student.""Hmm, well I don't know who thought it would be a good idea to throw some random student into my class halfway through the year, but depending on where you're at, you've got a lot of catching up to do. Sit. Let's figure out where you are."The teacher brought out a wooden chair and placed it near his desk. Dream nodded while taking a seat. He also took out his book."How far through the book has the class gotten?""3 quarters. In fact, we've already done some live practice with patients in the hospital. That's the point of this class after all. But we don't allow failures who will only botch things or make mistakes. In the next two weeks, if I don't see that you are either caught up with us or at least competent, then you'll leave this class. Is that clear?""Yes.""Good."*Ding, Ding, Ding!*The bell rang, signifying the end of lunch."Since you have much to do in these two weeks, you'll only follow along with us while reading the book. If you need help,
Merlin moved onto the topic of the acoustic spell that Dream used on the poison."In regards to the sequence, we would like to buy its usage rights. It would be taught to all staff and even be passed to the guild to notify hunters about this potentially life-saving method. Hunters constantly run into this type of poison when hunting those crawlers, and many are lost. But not only would this be able to extend their life, but it can also allow much faster and thorough recovery.""That's fine. This is just a spell I know, not some trump card of mine, so I don't care how it would be used.""Very well. Now in terms of payment, it would be hard to calculate so I would need to pass it over to the people who handle it, but it would be at least 1000 gold. What are your thoughts on that?""Oh, I mean...""Too low?""No. I just don't have problems with money, so I guess I don't need it. Especially if it's a troublesome process. I'll just give you the sequence and payment can be taken care of lat
[I already have the scanners and the drones to carry them. We'll just need to finish enchanting this place a bit and we can deploy.]As Dream overlooked the facility, his mana was still covering the area and enchanting everything. Sophia was applying stealth and reinforcement enchantments, ensuring that nobody would be able to find this place.Once she was done, she picked back up all the dirt and rock that had been removed and moved it back on top of the facility, She began to bury the area and pack in the dirt, making it look like this place never had a huge crater in it. One couldn't even see the gates of the facility."...What kind of scanners and drones are we using?"Dream landed on the ground while Sophia pulled out the scanner.[The scanner is just one big metal detector. Like what those people use at the beach, except thousands of times more powerful. These were used back on earth and I haven't made many modifications since they're very effective. We'll have drones to fly the
Dream hovered down to the land above the facility.[I've already got everything summoned.]"Bring it out."When he said that, items started flooding out of his inventory. They were assorted and plentiful.There was aircraft for transport, machines for mining, and everything in between. All of these machines were designed specifically for mining in the most efficient way possible. Whether it was drilling, using controlled explosions, or even proximity scanning to make sure they had everything, it was there.The entire operation force had a few hundred machines and over a dozen heavy aircraft. The aircraft was designed not only to move materials back to the facility for processing, but to transport all of the machines wherever they needed to go.After everything was summoned out, Sophia got to work and modified everything. One big issue with being on another world was that they lacked designated sources of power, whether it was fuel or energy. Eventually, these machines would die and th
