Half a month later
Aries was in his room wearing a special uniform for today . The Academy has officially began from today and he was preparing for his entrance exam .
He wore his uniform perfectly . The uniform of the Astralis Academy was special . It wasn't just aesthetic to look at but it also serves as an armor . This uniform is equipped with defense magic and can be said to be an 'Artifact' itself .
Aries was ready . He tapped his space ring and his 'Void Breaker' appeared in his arms . He hung it on his waist and headed out .
He went downstairs where his family members were waiting for him . Rena had specifically returned from the Academy for today to accompany Aries on his journey . She thought that Aries might get lost in the Academy .
Well , it's not an exaggeration to say that losing your way in the Academy was common . The 20% land area designated for the Academy itself was almost the entire surface of any big country in his previous life . The Academy covers an area of 5,000,000 sq.kilometers including the Academy itself and the Wilderness Area .
These Wilderness Areas are artificial . Different races had collected the DNA samples of various demons throughout the history for research purposes and successfully cloned them . These monsters were then released into the Wilderness Area for the monsters to grow on their own , become stronger and reproduce .
These areas were used by students of the Academies for training and gaining combat experience . Whenever you are in a battlefield , combat experience is one of the most important things one should have . The weakness of the demons and their attack patterns are to be memorized as well .
These Wilderness Area is not exclusive for humans . Even the continents of other races have their own wilderness zones which connect each other .
That's right .
The Wilderness Areas of all the continents are naturally connected and they don't have a border line through them . These place full of monsters used for training the students are far less dangerous compared to the actual battlefield .
These Wilderness Areas are owned by the Six Major Academies of each race .
….
Aries bid farewell to all of his family members present . Unfortunately , Aries's father wasn't present during this period . According to the recent news , his father had commanded multiple battles against the demons . The battle in the battlefield are growing more brutal and ferocious by each day .
Aries approached the vehicle and sat beside Rena . She just flashed a gentle smile which Aries returned . The cars left the family estate and headed towards the Academy Territory . It was almost a journey of 3 hours as they had to cross the SESC (Solarion Empire Secretariat Capital) .
It was the territory which lies between the Solarion Empire and Astralis Academy . They needed to cross this border to enter the Academy grounds .
...
2 hours 30 minutes Later
The vehicles of the Voidhaven family was reaching the entrance of the Astralis Academy . It wasn't any normal entrance but a massive gate which was almost 80 meters high and 60 meters huge .
As the cars entered the Academy entrance , Aries who had his eyes closed this entire time slowly opened them . During this trip , neither he nor Rena talked to each other . It was silent in the car .
Aries was thoroughly examining the outside view with his eyes as a smirk slowly formed on his lips .
'Interesting'
He thought .
The Academy slowly came into view . It was a massive place . It didn't include just the Academy building but also the huge dormitories and training facilities . The total area which the Academy covered was no less than 200,000 sq.kilometers .
The five cars arrived and stopped in front of the Academy gates . It was also massive like the previous one but no so much . This gate directly leaded to the main campus of the Academy .
Aries and Rena exited the vehicle . The guards assigned to them came from the other cars and stood attentively . The pressure of these Rank 4 and Rank 5 experts made the air extremely heavy but it didn't affect Aries .
The only ones affected were the students who were entering the Academy grounds . They all noticed the cars and guessed someone from the noble families have arrived but when they noticed the emblem on the cars they froze .
This was the mark which was recognisable by everyone in the empire . It was the emblem of one of the ducal families , House Voidhaven . Soon enough , they noticed two people coming from that direction .
Both of them had worn academy uniforms but their ties were different . This made them guess that one was second year student and the other is a freshman . As soon as they entered , their eyes momentarily froze .
The girl among the two was exceptionally beautiful . She was famous around the academy for her strength and beauty . She is also one of the goddesses in the Academy and a person who was the crush of every boy in the Academy . She was Rena Voidhaven .
The boy was also no less superior to the girl . His clear and white face attracted the attention of many girls . His figure was slim but one could tell that those muscles were nothing short of exceptional . That this person can crush them like paper if he wanted to . He released an invisible aura of power from him which made them swallow their thoughts about the girl .
The boy was also quickly recognised . It was the eldest son of the Voidhaven family 'Aries Voidhaven' . His reputation as the prodigy of the generation and the sole X-Rank Talent Awakener made him exceptional .
...….
Aries just glanced around the Academy and sighed . He didn't expect much attention but the fact that the princess of this Academy was with him made him forget the thought . Rena was not only a princess of this Academy but also a goddess . She is regarded as the epitome of beauty .
Aries just smiled at the thought of them recognising Aurelia . She was also exceptionally beautiful and almost on par with Rena herself . The fact that these two girls were acquainted with Aries made many people envy him . But they could do anything either .
Aries was the eldest son of House Voidhaven and the next in line to become the hier of the family , though Aries didn't like that fact either . He had already decided to hand over the pressure of maintaining the family to Rena . He would act like a shadow , away from everyone's eyes but a vital person who could decide the fate of everyone .
He liked it that way also . In his past life , he often used to read webnovels while in hospital . He likes the characters who keep them hidden from reputation and attention but is a person who holds immense power that even the strongest beings are scared of him .
He was thinking these things as he heard the sounds of cars stopping . He turned his head and recognised the cars by the emblem etched on them . This were the cars of the Rainhafer family and most likely here to drop Aurelia .
She came down from the car and started heading towards the Academy building as well as another gasp left the students mouths . Well , there was enough reason as well .
Aurelia was wearing the Academy uniform as well but her temperment was different . She exuded a cold and distant personality like Aries but her beauty was still unmatched . She was the cold and ice beauty type person who acts cold to others .
She immediately noticed Aries and Rena as a smile formed on her lips . She walked more faster and came towards them . Aurelia greeted Rena and Aries together as they headed inside . She was talking with Rena as Aries looked back towards the gates .
He immediately spotted Amelia . Her eyes locked with him as she gave a confident nod which Aries returned with a smile as well . It was their way of greeting each other . Even though , Aries was the direct lineage of Voidhaven family and Amelia was but a mere guard of the Rainhafer family but they knew each other from childhood .
Amelia was Aurelia's personal guard at that time and Aries had to take on that position of protecting her whenever Aurelia demanded Amelia to give them some private time . Eventually , an alliance formed between Aries and Amelia that whenever she wasn't near Aurelia , it was Aries's responsibility to protect her .
Aries had taken the role happily as his plan of this life was already to protect those near him . He couldn't afford to make mistakes like he did in his past life .
He headed inside with Aurelia and Rena ready for what to come next .
