Chapter 1085 Light Institute
[Eskinshire – Institute of Light Element]
As soon as Emery passed through the portal that would take him to his destination, he was greeted by a breathtaking view of the palace in the distance, standing majestically on a crystal hill.
However, the striking crystal hill was not the main thing that really caught his eye. Instead, it was a dazzling pillar of light that shot high into the sky, piercing through the clouds and leaving the planet’s atmosphere.
It was a marvelous and beautiful sight to behold.
Emery went ahead and walked towards the crystal hill, enjoying the mesmerizing scenery along the way. It didn’t take him long to reach the foot of the crystal hill, where there was an outpost.
There were several people attending the place, guards and staff who were on standby for any visitor. As a result, as soon as these people saw Emery’s privileged uniform, they enthusiastically greeted him and were more than happy to help his needs.
Faced with such an ardent reception, Emery didn’t hesitate and told these people his purpose in coming here.
“I apologize, acolyte Ambrose. Unless you are here to meet someone, only light element acolytes are allowed to enter the institute.” said the staff who attended him in a polite manner.
Already expecting such a response, Emery smiled casually as he said, “Actually, I came here to be tested.” Seeing the look on their faces, he clarified his words to make sure they were understood. “I want to join the institute.”
All of the staff’s expressions turned to bewilderment. Since Emery was definitely a third year acolyte, they couldn’t help but wonder why he would join the institute now.
Emery realized that it was quite unusual for an acolyte to suddenly have a new affinity, hence he didn’t elaborate further and just respectfully asked the staff to allow him to go through the necessary testing procedures.
Any other acolyte would immediately be sent away upon asking such an outrageous request, but once again the privileged acolyte status Emery had came into play, giving him the credibility for such request.
However, before the staff could do anything, Emery suddenly perceived few powerful presences coming down from the hill and approaching the outpost. All of them had wings made of light as bright as the sun on their backs.
There were three people, all were magus-level individuals. Emery recognized one of them, Magus Urix of the Wellenstein faction, the one who offered him an invitation to his faction three years ago.
The other two magus who came with Magus Urix were beautiful women dressed in light and gold robes. The moment the three arrived at the outpost, the one in the middle turned her gaze to Emery and opened her mouth.
“Emery Ambrose?” She asked, to which Emery nodded. “Follow us. Grand Magus Aurora is waiting for you.”
This unexpected incident was certainly a surprise that caused confusion on Emery’s part. He couldn’t help but wonder if Magus Shena had informed them of his arrival. However, upon further reflection, such behavior from her was highly unlikely.
Noticing the confusion, Magus Urix opened his mouth. “Don’t be confused, Emery. Grand Magus Aurora is known as an oracle. You just need to follow us, she has been waiting for you.”
The three flew towards the castle at the top of the hill with Emery following right behind with his orbiter.
Along the way, Emery dug through his memories, trying to remember what he had been taught in the academy classes. If he remembered correctly, an oracle was a title given to someone who could see certain events ahead of time.
Knowing that, he was now curious why this Grand Magus Aurora had oracled something about him.
As they drew closer to the building that stood on the peak of the captivating crystal hill, with Spirit Reading, Emery could sense only about 1,000 people staying in that place. The number was evidently smaller compared to those of Darkness Institute.
Emery could also see guards patrolling everywhere, surrounding the place with their presence and surveillance. There seemed to be a hundred of them, and they were all powerful, high-level saint warriors.
“They are the Light Institute’s divine knights.” Magus Urix said, explaining that there were a total of five hundred of them operating around the institute.
After once again admiring the beam of light that soared sky-high, Emery walked past the huge white door of the building, entering the main lobby. Climbing up the grand stairs following the three magus, he made his way to the top floor of the place and was led to a room where another stunning sight welcomed him.
A powerful grand magus, a middle-aged woman with golden blonde hair wearing half-body armor. She appears more like a warrior, nothing like he thought an oracle would look.
Knowing the other party’s status, Emery immediately did a respectful bow and said
“Greetings, grand magus.”
“Welcome, young acolyte.” A pleasant voice replied to his greetings. “Now raise your chin and look me in the eye.”
The moment Emery straightened his body and lifted his head, he found out that the grand magus was staring straight at him. In that instant, as he looked into her light blue eyes, he could feel something entering his mind, probing for a second.
When the sensation disappeared, the other party suddenly heaved a sigh.
Turning to Magus Urix who was standing at the side, she said, “You help the young acolyte with anything he needs.” Without giving the former a chance to speak, she reiterated. “Anything.”
It was apparent that Urix was surprised by such an order. However, hearing the seriousness in the grand magus’ voice, he obeyed. “Yes, master.”
He told Emery to follow him before turning around and walking out of the room. On the other hand, Emery glanced at the grand magus. Seeing that the other party didn’t say anything else, he gave her another salute before chasing after Magus Urix.
As he walked out, he couldn’t help but think.
This was certainly one of the strangest occurrences he had just experienced.

After Magus Urix and Emery left the room, one of the female magus opened her mouth asking, “What is it, master? What’s just happened?”
There was a moment of silence before the grand magus’ voice sounded again.
“Yes..” A complicated sigh echoed in the room. “Laritha, I have seen that young acolyte before in my vision. I know he will come today, but when I saw him… I can’t see anything.”
“Can’t see anything?” asked the female magus. “What does it mean, master?”
Not answering the question, the grand magus became anxious and said, “This is unusual, I need to discuss this with the headmaster”
