Chapter 326 Welcome, To The Academy!
"Look! The fog is clearing up!"
Like Cinderella\'s midnight spell, the moment the clock struck 7, the mysterious golden fog that only covered the space before them was now dispersing at an incredible speed.
"So beautiful..."
The scene was one they could hardly describe.
As far as the eye could see, there were numerous hills and mountains of greenery with the most magnificent buildings they had ever seen.
Columns and pillars that shot to the sky, a building that made them feel it was built for giants, with a good over 20 feet high.
There were also floating hills with streams that beautifully fell onto the land below.
Building structures itched into the towering rocks, structures high above the sky covered with clouds shrouded in mystery that seemed endless and bountiful.
What\'s more, many strange giant trees were sprouting at various angles as though they were the trees of life itself.
So big!...
They had never seen such a big tree with purple leaves before.
Looking to the ground, they could also see little animals like squirrels that also seemed to have changed by just a little bit.
Many smacked their mouths, once again thinking of how massive the academy truly was.
Do you see that building high above the clouds?... That height was something even Outdoor enthusiasts would never dare to think of.
That was the tallest structure they had ever seen!
It was even taller than the tallest mountain, cliff, or canyon in the world!
F***!
From the many scenes they had passed through to get here, many felt there should be little steps circling such a mountain. If so, would they be expected to move using those?
Crazy! Crazy!
Where was her levitating stone when they needed it?
"So this is the academy? Too grand!!"
"My eyes have transmitted a picture quality that has blinded by mortal senses!"
Look over were! Is that stream flooring backward from the lower hill to the floating hill above? What happened to physics? At this point, Newton might have a bone to pick with the Grandmaster!!"
"Only Newton? Look carefully... We are not doing extreme sports out here but courting death!"
"Damn! If I knew, I would\'ve asked the price for a coffin before coming."
....
Many whispered, almost forgetting their identities as trained soldiers, marines, air force units, and police officers.
Who could blame them?
The scene that unfolded was far more shocking than anything else they had witnessed.
You must know that all this time, they had been running through the wilderness. And even those who reached the areas with some broken-down structures were still within a forest zone.
So looking at the well-built academy grounds with majestic buildings that commanded respect, everything felt this was what heaven would look like if real.
It was too beautiful and jaw-dropping that they almost wanted to kneel in awe.
They didn\'t know it, but this wave of reverence exuded from each building in the academy.
It left people thinking and looking at the sight as though to say: From now on, you are my father!\'
Additionally, everything was gigantic, too big for little humans like themselves.
The feeling alone was enough to make them momentarily forget themselves.
And in no time, they blurted out their shocking thoughts to one another.
.
Very quickly, the golden fog faded completely, giving everyone an even more winning view.
It was like the picture had changed to Alien Super HD quality in their minds.
But before they could react, several figures flew towards them.
It was the Grandmaster, calmly flying toward them, accompanied by a giant golden lion walking on air too.
Smack.
Many slapped themselves just to be sure.
Their little brains exploded the moment they witnessed the scene.
Had the Grandmaster tamed such a giant lion?
Wipe!!
The lion\'s size alone was bigger than 3 military tanks stacked on each other.
Many had unbelievable expressions on their faces, feeling that maybe all the deadly creatures they witnessed along the way weren\'t so bad.
In truth, they were right.
They had only passed through the lowest leveled regions around the island. If they were stunned now, what would they say when they visited 2nd-tier forest lines or even the Forbidden forest itself, constantly shrouded in mist and darkness?
Everyone looked at the giant lion, once again reconfirming their thoughts of how dangerous this place was.
Old Madam Ghu slapped the back of her grandson\'s head.
"I know you like to play. But while in here, don\'t think of leaving the academy\'s grounds without telling myself, your father, your grandfather, Leiji or Butler Windock!... Is that clear?"
Sota had tears in the corners of his eyes.
Why was it always him being targeted? He was a very good boy!
Well... Sure, he still felt tempted to run around, but he would only do it after a few days, weeks, or months later, alright?
\'...\'
.
If Old Madam Ghu knew his thoughts, she would definitely take off her shoes and execute her famous attack, very popularly known to those in the Ghu Clan.
It\'s said that Old Madam Ghu was a legend when delivering the move.
Even with her eyes closed, she could still hit her target without effort.
Of course, with a Grandson like Sota, you best believe she had enough training for the job.
What did they secretly call her attack? The spinning Slippers Hit!
Even if Sota was running zig-zag or hopping, Old madam Ghu\'s shoes could curve mid-air like a ball, hitting its target clean.
Of course, Sota has also been troublesome since birth.
Every week, there were at least 2 episodes of him and his many adventures that resulted in receiving the Spinning slippers Hit!
This was primarily due to him skipping his heir training to take over the entire Ghu Clan.
At least if he were interested in anything else, this would\'ve been better. But Sota was just sneaking out to pull pranks on people.
Sota massaged the back of his head tearfully.
"Nana... Why don\'t you have a little faith in me?"
How can I sneak out today? It would definitely be a few more days for him to sneak out and explore this island!!
Old Madam Ghu narrowed her eyes dangerously. "You better pray I don\'t catch you doing something stupid, or I\'ll be the first to bury you and dance in your grave!"
(-×-)
Whose grandmother speaks like this?
Sota was aggrieved.
He gave a pitiful look to his father, his grandfather, his head guard, Leiji, and even Butler Windock... But they looked to the sky, watching the incoming Grandmaster as though their ears were no longer functioning.
Their actions were akin to people who could telepathically connect with each other.
[Ghu Dwo]: Father, did you hear something?
[Old Ghu]: Me? Impossible! How can I hear anything with these old eats of mine? How about you two?
[Window, Leiji]: Master, it must be the birds chirping in the wind. Oh, look! There\'s the bird right now.
(-×-)
... Traitors!!!
Ghu Sota felt bullied, and Chiyou and her parents found it funny.
The boy looked so pitiful while cowering before Old Madam Ghu.
Maybe because of seeing their reaction, they once again lowered their guards around the prominent people.
Look. They act the same way they do too. So they weren\'t all that different after all.
(^_^)
...
In the crowd, Donghai watched Dorian float forward, feeling his heart race. Who doesn\'t want to learn how to fly?
No matter how grown a person was, there was still a childish side to them that once dreamed of superpowers being a real thing.
Whether it was Wei Gia, Jung Hou, Butler Feng, or even Chiyou, seeing such a thing was enough to make their hairs stand.
Goosebumps... Goosebumps...
Everyone subconsciously kept quiet the closer the Grandmaster and the giant Lion reached.
Chest puffed forward, body standing at attention, many gave their best form yet.
But their shock wasn\'t over yet.
Grawww!!!~
The lion behind the Grandmaster suddenly roared heavily, running at full speed across the air.
What???!!!
Many subconsciously took several steps back with beating hearts.
1, 2, 3...
The Giant Lion unexpectedly raised his body, standing on its back feet when it was only inches easy from those at the front.
And in a blink of an eye, they were now staring at a man the same body size as many of them.
No~... \'Man\' wasn\'t the word.
The head was clearly a Lion\'s, his toes and hands were paws, and he still had a tail sticking out of his clothes.
(0π0)
--Silence--
You? Who? Me?... What just happened?
"F***!!!"
Sota exclaimed so loudly that he woke many from their stupor.
It was that now, old madam Ghu was livid again. "Stupid boy! As a Ghu heir, I\'ve told you countless times that cursing is not allowed!!!"
Pah!
"Hey... Are you even listening?"
"..."
Sota, who was smacked, didn\'t feel the pain this time.
His eyes were still glued on the being that had just shapeshifted before his very eyes.
And who was this guy?
Of course he recognized the figure from the entrance examination tests they took in the Tian Estate.
But at that time, if anyone thought it was a person wearing a costume, today\'s matter had shattered the lenses in their eyeballs again.
F****! You can do this too?
(°0°)

With a slight smile on his face, Pandrol stood before the giant golden gates.
"Welcome... To the Heavenly Tian Academy!"
