Shanggu City Dream City.

The sun shines directly overhead. A breeze blew. The leaves of Cherry Blossom fall to the ground. A lonely heart accompanied the child; he left his old house in a slum.

Two people stood in front of the house. They waved goodbye, the man sitting on the chair, almost like an undead. The female occasionally wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

There's no need to be romantic when facing a breakup. Kiran was sad. But his dream must be realized. Become a sorcerer - illusion weaver is a one-way ticket out of the hard life as it is now.

Swallows fly on the horizon. Kiran looked up at the sky, sighing deeply.

"I have to be tough. This is the path to success. In the future... if it succeeds later, my parents will be brought to Shanggu City. Kiran also sturdy stepped up for sure.

"Begonia City will be a thing of the past. Shanggu City is the future." He said steadily.

That afternoon Kiran arrived at Begonia City station. The Gate of Happiness is its name. Few intercity public vehicles pass by. That's because this city is the most remote in the Qingchang empire.

Kiran thought that he had arrived the earliest. But at that old station, they have been waiting for another child. Chen, the other child, owns the talent of a Healer.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Kiran tried to make small talk. Even though he lives in the same city, Kiran only got to know him during an audition in the town square. The boy smiled at Kiran's question.

He returned a big smile. Looks friendly. Kiran strives to become familiar with him. "Aren't the two of us going to stay in the dormitory of the Institute for a long time? Why not try to be familiar?"

Chen replied kindly.

"It's not too long. At first, I thought I was the slowest. It turned out that I was the first to come." Kiran returned the friendly greeting with a smile. The atmosphere melted.

Then his gaze fell to the small backpack on Chen's back. The backpack is small. Just like Kiran brought.

"Maybe he also comes from the same poor family as me. I'm willing to bet. This kid's backpack contains at most 3 pieces of clothing. That's the best, just like me."

Kiran became more familiar with Chen. They are both poor. The Magentum Institute will change the future of both.

Kiran is always worried. He was inferior when dealing with the wealthy - the nobility. Hearsay blows, saying that the magic institute is filled with children of rich people. This abyss-like difference always makes it difficult for him to get along with others.

The two were silent. Stand up and mangu-mangu. Each with thoughts drifting. Zetta Mui was nowhere to be seen. Skyfin's timetable shows that the mode of transport will arrive from the city in advance.

"I'm sorry I'm late." they shook their heads unison.

"But the train hasn't arrived yet, right?" Zetta Mui appeared like steam, her voice breaking the desert.

She looks dazzling. The Charm expert's signature robe wrapped around his body. Match with her black hair. Kiran and Chen hurriedly approached. The two bowed in greeting.

"Best regards, these two aspiring charm masters from Begonia. Please instruct Miss Zetta so we will receive well in the Magentum Institute later."

Zetta Mui chuckled. She felt strange about the attitude of this prospective intern.

"You guys are so young. But you act as if you were an adult.

Am I too old? To the extent that you are so hesitant, thinking of me like an old woman. Let's be casual."

Kiran flushed. He glanced at Chen. The child also blushed. Similar to boiled crab. But this is what his mother taught him.

He had to be polite when dealing with Miss Zetta Mui. It was Kora Wang's message.

Sound of the wind rustling violently. The figure appeared from the north. Big and long.

Skyfin!

Kiran and Chen gasped. Only once did the two see a spiritual being, which became a means of transportation.

The Station of the Gate of Happiness is located in the place of the rich and nobles. Far away from the slums. The two simple children had never seen a creature called Skyfin.

Skyfin is a spiritual creature in the form of a fish. Large and winged. The body is long, about 10 meters. The creature is a mode of transportation on the Ayax Continent.

Behind him are four train cars, interconnected.

"Our trip to Shanggu City will take only 24 hours.

The creature is carrying four carriages of the iru train named Skyfin." Zetta Mui explained. She saw astonishment on the faces of the two innocent children.

Zetta Mui took the two to board their carriage. Carriage number 4.

The seats are fully visible inside the carriage, whose capacity fits 20 people. All have been occupied, leaving 3 seats right on the window. They sat up and took a deep breath

"My journey begins!" Kiran whispered.

Zetta Mui showed them the overhead cabin, where their backpacks were stored.

"It's best for your belongings, stored in the upper cabin. It's more relieved the lame is hugged continuously." The two did Zetta's instructions. Blushed again.

"The train is about to leave!" A loud noise sounded through the object at the front of the carriage.

"Magic!" Kiran came back to mind. There are many new things that he sees today.

But that's not enough.

When Skyfin moves and is about to take to the skies, Kiran and Chen turn pale.

"The train is moving." Kiran hissed, no longer monologue in her heart. He gripped the handle on his chair tightly.

Skyfin lifted and floated, and Kiran and Chen showed the mimic of people wanting to vomit but trying to be restrained. Zetta Mui glanced, getting ready to laugh.

The higher the carriage soared, the faces of the two children turned white as snow. Zetta Mui acted quickly.

"Please use it. Try not to scatter anywhere."

The girl thrust two waterproof bags. Not waiting long, the other two children secreted a thick liquid.

Zetta Mui looked away.

"Even if they are still too young, I didn't go home empty-handed." She looked the other way, ignoring the two little ones busy with the waterproof bag.

The night it was passed quickly. The cold wind blew bone-piercing. Enter through a small gap in the window. All the passengers in car 4 were fast asleep. The long journey is not felt when asleep.

Night becomes morning. But time flies quickly. The sun has been leaning on the Western horizon.

Shanggu City is beautiful and fascinating when viewed from a height of 1000 feet. Not in vain, the city was dubbed the second largest city after the country's capital.

Kiran looked from behind the window, the lights glowing down there. Shanggu City is very different from Begonia City. Although it was late at night, the lights were still on; no darkness was everywhere. He and Chen were busy whispering, admiring the city.

"All those lights are burning with magic energy. The Magentum Institute is the center of the city's magic power, which drains energy from the fire magic of the Institute's best Pyromancers. You guys are lucky to be students in that Institute." Zetta Mui answered the two children's questions as if he heard whispers between them. Nod.

Kiran and Chen's admiration grew. Zetta Mui explained at length about Shanggu City and the Magentum Institute. The eyes of the two children lit up. A world with magic wonders and advanced technology is now in sight.

At the gate of the Magentum Institute.

The Magentum Institute is located on the outskirts of town. The building is looming, looking arrogant, reaching for the night sky. Ornaments, in the form of statues of legendary creatures, decorate part of the walls of the Institute—the most dragons.

Although it is located in the suburbs, coupled with its large courtyard, the Magentum Institute does not give the impression of seclusion. Especially creepy for that towering and old building.

An artificial forest consisting of rows of cedar trees is spread out. Artificial fish ponds, full of lotuses, beautifully decorate the spacious courtyard of the Institute.

The three walked in long steps down a path made of piles of coral. At the gate, one figure has been waiting. She was a female housekeeper at the Magentum Institute. There is something else.

Kiran and Chen choked up.

As they get closer, they discover the woman's true figure- the Institute's housekeeper. The form is almost invisible. She was wearing a black robe and dangling to the floor. Complete with a hood, trying to disguise his thin and fuzzy appearance.

Ghost!

Chen looked at Kiran. He didn't hide his panic. Kiran felt that his hands hurt. Chen's hand gripped him too hard. But the two of them did not dare to make a sound.

Kiran tried politely not to scream in fear.
