Chapter 97: Floating Island
An hour later, Clemt woke up from his slumber.
He just sat down there and stared into space for a while before he sighed as he thought.
'I still underestimated him, I guess this level of power is expected of someone who can grant such power to other people'
He got up and walked up to meet others, wh he got there he didn't ev discuss anything with them, he just sat down and kept quiet as usual.
Three hours later, they arrived at the floating island.
The floating island was so high up in the sky that ev the clouds covered it.
The mana and the air a the island was so fresh and thick.
The crest of the Academy was on the ship, and they already notified people of the floating island of their arrival, so they wer't stopped on the way for a search or anything.
The ship landed outside the island and all studts came down all looking a with curiosity, but they didn't see anything as they were still outside.
A four star professor called Clint landed infront of them and said.
"Follow me"
Th they walked with their numbers and got to the trance of the a huge building which could fit millions of people.
This building was the only way to ter the floating island.
They wt into the building and saw millions of people walking a, everyone just going about their daily lives.
Th they saw differt portals at differt points as this portals was the doorway to the floating island.
The four star professor walked up to a receptionist and talked to her.
During this time, some studts met their family members and collected their mana crystals th regrouped with the rest of the studts.
The receptionist th led the professor and the studts to a portal after the professor paid the trance fee which was t low mana crystals per head.
Just with the gate fee alone, one could imagine what kind of wealth the floating island holds and the force that kept thiefs and bandits at bay.
As they all based the portal and arrived at the island, the vironmt suddly changed.
The mana was extreme vibrant here, ev the air sounded expsive.
High rise buildings were everywhere as they stood with majesty, displaying how much construction cost.
Cars moved across and zoomed at various places, some cars flew in the air.
Some flew a themselves without cars, truly the atmosphere here was differt as it gave a sere peaceful feeling making you feel like you stepped into hav and should stop your path of cultivation and stay here.
The Elf professor Clint looked at them, th released hundreds of mana crystals which floated on the air and gave a two hundred low mana crystals and one high mana crystal to each studt.
This display might look like telekinesis, but it really isn't.
This is just a basically skill everyone who reaches a certain level of mana control can use.
Using it to move item of low weight like papers, pcil or cups, chairs.
So it isn't telekinesis as they coat the object with mana and th move it.
But this doesn't work with heavy things, so only low weight things.
"This is your spding fee for the next three days on this island"
Clint's vice sounded as they stopped looking at their money like gold goblins.
"You can sleep in any hotel here as the Academy has already settled everything, so just show your studt ID card and you would be allowed to stay there, you can change hotels each night if you want to"
"And if you don't spd all your crystals, the Academy won't take it back"
As soon as Clint was done speaking, he disappeared like he was never there to begin with.
Everyone stored their money in their space rings.
Although there were banks in this world, most bank operate on quarks alone.
Nobody is willing to give their mana crystals to another person for safekeeping or saving.
It is best saved and safe with themselves.
Although quark and mana crystals were both currcies, their differce are quite staggering.
That's why there was no bank cards for mana crystals unlike those of the quark bank card.
Quark is easy to make, but mana crystals...I think not.
Everyone instantly broke into groups or alone as they all wt exploring with their money.
Anthony and his frids were together as they discussed what to do first.
As they walked, they got glances from other people who walked about due to their faces.
Anthony and his subordinates were out of this world already, Bryan and the storm brothers were extremely handsome too due their heritage, so people stared once in a while.
"How about we taste their food first"
Bringer as usual said with a lavishing tone as he licked his lips.
"Is food all you can think of"
Rider said as he slapped his brother's head.
"How about we go shopping first"
Evelyn said as they walked.
The girls nodded, th they walked to a shop they saw ahead and tered it without waiting for the boys opinion.
Anthony and his subodinates just followed as they were always together.
Bryan and the Storm brothers had nothing better to do so they just followed.
As they tered, they were amazed.
Indeed the floating island was differt.
From the lighting, to the colour to design and architecture and chandelier.
Everything screamed luxury, truly poor people couldn't stay here.
Ev the clothing for sale were differt as ev the dumbest awaked can tell the material to produce such clothing would be at least SSS rank.
The clothes at the shopping district were only made from normal beast, or monster at the C grade at best.
But here, the SSS class was minimum standard.
The clothes could also provide certain level of defse and some had once a while function like auto cleaning, some had auto-adjust.
A light flashed Bringer's eyes as he looked at Vivian and said to her with a smile
"You can pick whatever you want, I would pay for it, don't worry about the price"
Bryan wanted to use this method to get back in her good books after the disaster he caused last time.
And what better way to apologise to a woman than to buy her loads of gifts.
Vivian looked at him with her always ever cold face, she smiled at him for the first time and nodded her head.
Everyone was stunned wh they saw her smile, and at the stupid Bringer at that.
Seeing Bringer being successful, Bryan immediately played the same card.
"You can pick what you want, I will pay"
Bryan said to Evelyn with same smile as Bringer.
Evelyn smiled and nodded.
The atmosphere turned strange, they were here to shop, now these two boys were trying to woo girls.
They looked at Bryan with surprised faces, but he simply just smiled confidt in his pockets.
Donna looked at Rider with a questioning gaze as if saying...
'Ar't you going to ask me, two boys have already asked the other girls, why hav't you asked me to pick what I want, what will happ to my reputation after this'
Rider's lips twitched as he understood Donna's gaze.
He wasn't trying to woo her like his brother and Bryan did with other girls.
But he had to offer, what if she started targeting him out of nowhere because of this.
Wom were strange creatures no matter the race or specie, so he had to give in.
And she was ranked eighth on the battle ranking, he wasn't ready to test his luck.
Th he offered with a smile like the charming price he was.
And Donna smiled and nodded like how Evelyn and Vivian did.
