Legendary Architect of Apocalypse

It was as if the sun itself was descending from the sky, forcing him to close his eyes if he didn't want to go blind. A thin layer of darkness appeared over his eyes, turning his vision darker to help him see better.

What he saw in the sky was the grandest ship that he had ever seen, large enough that it looked as if a country itself was floating in the sky. Even the ship of the Asbborn Family that was used to bring him to the Academy was smaller than what he was seeing.

The pressure of wind became stronger as the ship came closer to the ground. Even the robes of the Professors were fluttering with the wind that only grew more intense.

Soon, the wind became so strong that Elias was almost getting pushed back by then. He took a step back to stabilize himself with the support of the door, but using any other abilities.

The winds only stabilized after the ship had landed on the ground, not far from the professors. Elias wasn't sure who was arriving, but it became clear to him that the Professors were here for it.

The door of the ship slid down, revealing an opening. And someone stepped out, disappointing Elias as the person was just the Dean of the Academy, and not anyone extraordinary that he hadn't seen before.

He came to the conclusion that the ship belonged to the Dimensional Academy itself, which wasn't a surprising thought. But after the Dean stepped out, he saw someone else.

It was a man, a man dressed in stark white attire. Even though everything that he was wearing looked like a treasure. But his long robe stood out from the rest, draped over his shoulder.

It was as if the stars of the universe were embedded in his robe. He was carrying an entire galaxy on his shoulder.

Even though Elias was far from that person, he could still feel a terrifying suppression that was at least comparable to his father, if not stronger.

"Analysis..." He used a skill subconsciously, trying to see just what kind of person it was.

.............

Analysis has failed. Evolution is not enough.

.............

"What?" Elias frowned, looking at the notification appearing before him. The analysis had failed, and it only told him that his evolution was not enough.

Was it because there was such a large difference between his strength and the strength of the man? The question was something that made its home in his head.

The man was walking down the ramp when Elias used analysis on him. He came to a sudden halt, feeling an uncomfortable feeling that only lasted for a fleeting moment.

"This place is still as annoying as ever," he mumbled, as he continued down.

After him, his daughter also stepped out of the ship, and walked down the ramp. She kept her head down, not even raising it for a single second, only watching her step as she accompanied her father.

The Professors stepped forward once the man landed on the ground. "We welcome Duke Jeskirin to the Academy."

Her tone was welcoming, but not subservient. It was respectful but not submissive, making it clear to Jeskirin that she was just being courteous.

Another professor stepped forward, trying to give an exquisite flower bouquet to the man. However, the man simply pulled his hand back in disgust.

"There's no point in false greetings. As if I don't know what a pathetic place this is..." Jeskirin looked around. Even though a long time had passed since he last came here personally, the place was still as disgusting as ever to him.

"Hmm? Who is that child?" His gaze soon landed on Elias, who was standing near the door in the back.

The boy wasn't wearing the attire of the Dimensional Academy, but if he was brought here by these people, then he didn't think the boy was simply an outsider.

Hearing his question, the Dean also looked in that direction. And when she caught sight of Elias who was standing in the darkness next to the door, she couldn't control her surprise.

"What is he doing here?" she mumbled, directing the question to Medusa who also looked back along with other Professors. However, she had barely finished speaking when she thought of something and a smile spread on her lips.

Almost all of them looked just as confused, not a single professor having any idea about it.

"We didn't bring him here." The Professors answered. "It looks like he came here on his own."

"It's fine. It's not like this is a restricted place." Freya raised her hand, and gestured for Elias to come closer.

"His eyes... I don't like them. Who is he?" Jeskirin repeated the question, noticing the people of the academy talking amongst themselves, with no one to answer him.

Elias walked closer to the group, once he was noticed. He had prepared to offer an explanation about how he was lost. The explanation was right on his tongue, as he stopped next to the Dean.

Unfortunately, he wasn't asked to explain his presence here. Instead, the Dean had an amusing smirk on her lips as she looked at him. The look that she had, gave him a bad feeling about it.

"Why don't you introduce yourself to our guests?" she asked Elias, who had no idea about the identity of the man that was standing before him. The only thing that he knew was that the man was extremely strong.

Astralious had also gone completely silent, not even making the slightest movement.

He didn't like the fact that Freya was smiling when asking him to introduce. Since when did she become so nice to him, especially after how their last meeting went?

Despite knowing that something was wrong, he couldn't stay silent. Even if he didn't introduce himself, she was going to introduce him. It was only a matter of time.

He took a deep breath, and turned to the man. "I am Elias Asbborn, a first year student."
