Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Night Whisperer quickly gave several instructions while the gang stayed in wait.

And soon enough, Ghost Whisperer tapped his earpiece.

[Boss, we've arrived.]

Good.

Their expected guest had just pulled into the hotel with the rest.

"Everyone, get ready. We have a show to put on."

Heh.

The many 'police officers' and 'detectives' all chuckled.

This was going to be a piece of cake.

But they weren't the only ones buying themselves about.

.

--Gia Main Estate--

.

Old Gia, Wei Gia, Donghai, Butler Feng, Main guard Renjin, Deputy Director Xiang Shore, several direct and indirect Clansmen, as well as many Gia guards and chosen police, military, marine, and other special forces members were all gathered here in straight lines of 20.

The day after tomorrow was the big day!

It felt like an eternity since they got their admission letters.

F***!

They were going to become powerful wizards!

(+0+)

Well, exorcists.

Since many of them had never seen Dorian in action, their only real glimpse of magic was during the testing day and when they got their letters.

So what else were they to associate it with, if not magic?

Many felt both excited and fearful.

As they say, with great power comes great responsibility.

​ So the enemy must be strong for the heavens to grant them the ability to use these powers.

Everyone had been conditioning their hearts to face the murderous and strange enemies the Grandmaster had briefly mentioned.

At the time, they thought it was a joke. But now they understood it was all true.

Nonetheless, as forces who had sworn to protect all civilians, they couldn't back down now.

.

Wei Gia squinted his eyes deeply. "Today, I assume you all know why you've been gathered."

No one spoke, but their silence was the answer.

"Once again, I and your superiors congratulate you on your acceptance into the Heavenly Tian Academy. You all are part of the first batch of students! And this goes without saying... but we expect you to be on your best behaviors."

Wei Gia's voice grew cold with every word he spat.

"Let this be a reminder to you. Any misconduct... and I assure you that you will not only have the academy to contend with, but your superiors and I to face!"

Gulp.

Many swallowed hard. Don't look at Wei Gia who was 29.

The man was also a legend, similar to his father, Old Gia.

His decisiveness was even more brutal than Old Gia, cutting all oaths and roots, rendering his enemies useless.

It's said he only smiled when facing his wife and daughter. His face was always permanently cold no matter when you met him.

Such a man sent chills down the spines of many, though his godly handsome face still made unaccountable women dream of being his mistress.

Handsome, wealthy, a faithful lover and wife spoiling maniac all at once? Why wouldn't he still be a dream lover for many?

.

Shudder. Shudder.

Wei Gia's gaze made them shiver.

So scary…

Even from afar, his gaze and aura were still intimidating.

As trained, armed force officials and officers, they didn't need to be reminded of this. However, entering the Academy was too serious a matter.

"Over the past few weeks, the list has been circulated. And everyone knows what to bring."

As Wei Gia spoke, Deputy Director Shore, Donghai, and several others calmly moved to the very front of the lines.

There, one could see several tables and massive storage bins at the side.

"Bow, we begin the final check! Step up with your admission letters, as well as your packed backpacks. Anything not on the list circulated earlier will be discarded. And for your sake, you better hope we don't find anything that should belong in the first place!... Now... Begin!!!"

Right.

Many quickly moved towards those seated on the other side of the tables, doing as told.

Basic necessities were allowed. But only the clothes they would wear to enter the academy are acceptable. Of course, underwear was the exception to this rule.

From what they gathered, there should be no electricity in the academy. Don't get it wrong. The academy did have lighting but used some special methods to do so(runes and formations).

But many weren't worried about this since they could leave and return every day if they wanted to. Though no one would care to go out so much with their superiors as Caretakers in the academies with them.

.

If these were ancient times, people would sth in their sects for times and even years without ever stepping out.

However, in modern times it's impossible to do so. People had businesses, families sick in the hospital, and all sorts of matters to attend to.

Thus, the academy worked the same way as the military would.

You would turn in your phone and give your loved ones or others the Academy's contact information.

That's right.

Pandrol would be handling such matters.

He would sort out these matters and alert many of any emergencies.

Of course, All Teachers and Caretakers were still allowed to have their phones on them.

In the Academy, only teachers and Caretakers could use their phones. Though taking a picture or video would be deemed impossible.

Dorian didn't know how the system did it. But it was so.

.

"Next!"

A nametag was placed on the already checked bag thrown into one of the massive storage bins.

Everyone would get their bags backbone in the wee early morning hours before they departed for the Academy.

Just like that, the Gias were ready. And in the Hou and Ghu main estates, similar scenarios occurred too.

Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.

The clock was ticking.

And in a blink of an eye, the afternoon flew, the night passed, and it was yet another glorious day.

Chan-ki sighed from relief, seeing as they made it back on time with no sudden 'stops' on the way.

As exorcists, they could stay for longer periods without good. So with Angzen out of the equation, they made no stops.

Good.

Finally home.
