Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?
419 It's Changing!!!
Elric, Julius, Wiggins, Berry, Harry, Secretary Kim, and everyone else stayed within the human walls surrounding them, with hands on their gadgets.
Some tightened their grip on their tasers; others like Elric, kept his hand on his watch.
Any funny business, and he won't hesitate to press the button, calling for backup.
At the same time, they couldn't help but wonder why these people were so mysterious about this.
"The papers given to you... You must keep them on you at all times."
Haru's words whistled in the air, and everyone was taken aback, remembering that after meeting with the group, they had indeed been given thin, small, rectangular-shaped papers with strange symbols.
Secretary Kim, who spoke over 5 eastern languages, knew these symbols weren't familiar.
Julius, Elric, and Wiggins, who spoke some eastern languages, couldn't make out the symbols either.
It was also now that they realized these easterners had been speaking their language as though they were born in Vardos.
The language they spoke was Entish, which was spoken by the majority of countries in the world.
It was the most popular language and was also taught in Eastern schools too.
So whether it was Old Hou, Wei Gia, and the others, they had studied it as vital subjects back in their school days.
It was just that some didn't pay attention to it too much, while others reached intermediate level, knowing how to speak and write in Entish.
But of course, all this changed the moment they became exorcists.
.
That's right.
During the time spent in the academy, it was a requirement for them to learn and fully master at least 1 non-eastern Language, and 1 Eastern Language apart from the one they knew.
They had deadlines when it came to mastering these languages.
After all, if they were to become exorcists that take on jobs everywhere in the world, how can they be allowed to continue without mastering the said languages?
No way!
They must master all languages in this world over the course of their long, long life.
And to start off, they must learn the most popular languages.
As people who broke out of their mortal shells, their intelligence increased, and their retention abilities increased, alongside their learning capabilities.
They could memorize a cultivation manual, going over its every detail in their brains as if physically turning every page.
It should be noted that memorizing didn't mean they could understand everything.
Nope.
It was their duty to hurdle over their own stumble blocks and get their teachers to advise them further when in a pickle.
But everyone found that learning languages was far, far easier than mastering a cultivation skill or technique.
It was so easy for them that if they sent them back to school, they would definitely get full marks on every question asked.
The only hiccup they might get is their pronunciation of certain words, which can be corrected with more time spent with foreigners.
.
In the end, they understood everything Elric and the others said.
Even those who were previously trash at other languages were now experts after joining the Academy.
Wipe!
If they went to school now, wouldn't that be abusing the poor mortals there?
People like the 17-year-old Ghu Sota would directly K.O his classmates after returning to school.
Ghu Dwo planned to let him continue school as a special student who would only come for tests and examinations.
There was no point in having him waste time sitting in class when he could be cultivating, improving his rank, and taking on missions.
The only reason he and several others his age would be allowed to go to school is so that they can have their official degrees and certifications.
In Dorian's former world, people accepted into the Academy weren't allowed in ordinary schools.
Why? Because the government had headaches with him because of their grades.
Imagine if all those accepted by the academies took the final exams and all ranked first in the country.
Imagine 10, 20, 30, or 80 people having full marks all at once. How does the government go about awarding them?
Moreover, it's unfair to ordinary people who depend on scholarships and other educational bonuses.
Additionally, many of these exorcists would continue to University or higher education since their ordinary job was to be an exorcist.
So many university recruiters would also be aggrieved, finding out that all those with full marks were people destined never to live an ordinary life.
Bottom line, everything was too unfair to ordinary, mortal students.
Although Dorian didn't say a thing, he knew that it was only a matter of time before the government contacted him to stop exorcists from taking ordinary exams.
Well, they might be allowed to take the exams in future, but their names and scores won't be put on the official list.
Nonetheless, they will get their certificates and proof of education.
Perhaps, a new sector will be opened in the educational board to deal with those officially listed as Exorcists.
But all this was in the future. For now, people like Ghu Sota, and a few others within the Academy, were bound to cause a sensation when they got to school, leading to the government later contacting him.
.
'What strange symbols.'
Wiggin's eyes flickered, keeping the strange paper in his pocket.
Intuition told him to obey their every command. And although several others wanted to mock the ridiculousness of the situation, they indeed did as Wiggins ordered, following his lead though they didn't take it seriously.
Alright.
Everyone was set, but Dorian still kept his face lifted upwards, staring at the moon.
15 seconds more.
14... 13...
Dorian chuckled.
"Do you know why you can't find them?"
Everyone's heart tightens, being ominous.
Why?
"Because they are no longer on this plane."
10...
"Fairy Tales... Some of them are true to some extent."
8.
"And the culprit who took them is also not human."
7…
"You're coming, right?"
Elric and everyone else couldn't believe it.
Please! Everyone knows talks like this can get one locked up forever in a Looney bin.
Fairy Tales? Creatures not human?
This has got to be the joke of the century. Right? RIGHT?!
5...
Many people's minds began to spiral, their bodies trembling no matter how ridiculous they thought it was.
'We couldn't find a single clue.'
4...
'Their disappearance was indeed too strange.'
'No! No! How can I be swayed to believe such ridiculousness? I must be poisoned and out of my mind.
3...
The air grew tense as the bad feeling kept growing in their hearts.
2...
The corners of Dorian's lips raised high.
"Believe it or not, I don't care. But when in there, never leave our side."
1...
Dorian raised his hands, moving them in a wide circle, before landing them on the ground and chanting viciously.
And then, everyone saw something miraculous happen.
Voom!
WHAT?
Wiggins couldn't believe his eyes.
His lips quivered, and his body shook.
Their surroundings… Their surroundings…
It was CHANGING!
