《Magus Of Darkness》Chapter 7: Arrival
Advertisement
When Pax saw the friendly Adrius he felt a little calmer, but he's still scared of him.
‘ I should go away from this lunatic’ Thought Pax in his heart.
“I have a question if you don’t mind?” Asked Adrius in the same polite manner.
“Please go ahead” Said Pax
“ As I was walking here I heard that I was part of the seven, what is that?” When Adrius came up to watch the landing he heard someone saying that he was one of the seven and he is the seventh rank, so he was curious about that.
“The seven! You really didn’t know? Anyway, the seven are a group of people on this trip that are the strongest out of all of us and you are the seventh rank” Said Pax with a shocked face
Of course Adrius didn’t know about all of this because throughout this trip he was reading and training, so he didn’t know about anything that was happening on this ship.
Adrius was shocked because he was in a ranking of the strongest of this patch of students but he was seven place, that means that there are 6 people like a wild animal that creeps in the corner.
“If you would excuse me, I have something to do” Said Pax.
“Yeah sure, it was nice talking to you”
After Pax left Adrius he walked to a room and knocked on the door.
“Come in” Came a voice from the inside.
When Pax walked in he was met with a beautiful girl, she had long blonde hair and blue eyes.
“ As you said he doesn't know about the seven, he didn’t show his shock but I can tell by his body language.” Reported Pax to the girl
“ Good good, now that he feels he controlled you he will use you for info. I want you to go on with it until he trusts you whole, understood?”

“Understood”
On the deck Adrius was clueless to all of this, he was watching the ship land on the landing place that was on the mountain.
With a thud the ship landed and the door opened, everyone got out of the ship and walked for 10 minutes. On the way Adrius saw a lot of animals and some of them were really weird looking. He wanted to open them up and see what’s inside but he stopped himself.
There were a lot of trees and it was hard for the students to walk in them, but when they reached their destination they were met with two stone statues. One was of a giant raven and the other was of a giant wild boar. Then Dominus walked in front of the statue and said
“ Sha Gro logoth, ary gita gorgoth”
When Adrius heard that he thought of a one language that sounded like this, the Xyron language. Of course he couldn’t speak xyron because only magus can, but he memorised it because it could benefit him in the future.
Then the raven statute opened its mouth and said
“Ah It is you Dominus, is this your patch for this month?” The raven’s voice was like the sound of two stones rubbing against each other.
“Yes it is, Great raven.” Said Dominus politely.
From his manner one can say that Dominus respected these two statues, So if an official magus speaks this politely to a statue how strong is this statue?
This thought went through all of the students' minds.
“Good, now before you go, do you have anything delicious for this old boar” Spoke the giant wild boar statue with an eager tone.
“Ah always hungry aren’t you, look you embarrassing us in front of the new students” Said the raven with a condescending tone.
“You shut up! You corn eating fuck!” Replayed the boar with an angry tone.

“What did you say to me you useless pig!?”
“Who the fuck are you calling a pig you pigoen looking like motherfucker?!” The giant boar didn’t like to be called a pig, because pigs are domestic animals and are not wild. And he took that as an attack on his race.
Before the raven got to say anything Dominus spoke,
“Guys that's enough, great boar here is a hard shelled rabbit, now can you open the door?” Saying that Dominus took out a rabbit from his bag and gave it to the boar statue. The rabbit had a turtle shell on his back you would think that it is slow, but it is not because it is a magical animal at the level of a level 1 magus apprentice, so it uses magic for movement.
“Ah a shelled rabbit, good good, this old boar like rabbits.”
Then the ground opened and a staircase appeared leading down.
“ Follow me” Ordered Dominus
Adrius was stunned for the whole scene, ‘an underground academy, it is genius but dangerous at the same time. If someone closes the exit then no one can escape out.’ Thought Adrius to himself.
Then the students walked down the stairs, the whole way took only 5 minutes. And when they got to the ground they were shocked because if you think about it an underground academy will probably be very dark. But the raven academy had a sun-like fireball that is up in the sky.
The students were surprised at what they saw, even Adrius was shocked.
Then Dominus led them to an office and there was a middle aged magus inside. When all of them walked in, Dominus handed some peppers and walked out.
“ Hello, here you will assign or be assigned a mentor that will teach you.” Said the middle aged magus.
“ You can choose one of these options, 1. Let the academy assign a mentor for you. 2. Pay 2 magical stones to choose a mentor. With this out, let’s begin.”
At this time Adrius felt so lucky because he took these two magical stones. He wanted to choose for himself for his future and not be assigned to someone who is useless.
After waiting it was finally his turn, he came to the table and paid two magical stones. Then the magus gave him a list of every professor in the school. He didn’t find anyone with the specialty of toxin and poison so he asked the magus.
“Excuse me, but is there a professor that teaches about toxin and poison?”
“As a matter of fact there is, his name is professor Croft and he is a potion master and a toxin/poison master”
‘ If I choose this professor Croft that means that I will learn potions as well, I don’t see a reason why not to choose him’ Thought Adrius to himself, he wanted to study toxins and poisons in this life also because it is his true passion and in this world he can make deadly poisons, that is stronger than his previous world.
“ I choose professor Croft then” Said Adrius
“Ok wait a sec, what is your name?”
“Adrius Caseo”
Then the magus looked for his name in the peppers that Dominus gave him, when he found his name his eyebrows rose a little. Then he wrote the information in a pepper and burned it, after 10 seconds a new pepper came in and the magus read it before looking at Adrius and saying
“Congratulations he accepted you, this message will lead you to him”
Adrius took the message and went to see his new mentor and professor. With a glow in his eyes, this is his first step into the magus world.

The Elder of Mediocrity

Oz “Da Shan” Elderweiss is just your average guy in a not average world. He’s not that strong, he’s not that weak — and he’s not getting any better. Da Shan discovers that you’re never too old to have your own coming of age saga. Filled with a burning desire for revenge, but the inability to carry it out, he hatches an insane scheme to change his potential and achieve exponential growth. But his enemies are quite literally the members of his own household and his close friends. He must fight tooth and nail for what he believes in and for the freedom to carve his own path. Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.
