Part: 59
The time passed very quickly. From Mephas Academy, almost all the students got the opportunity to enter the tower test. Even though they are not that strong, they will still have no trouble completing the tower test. As time passed, Alex did not realize when he would have to go out for the tower test. These few days have gone very well for him. He has become much stronger through training. Since there are stat options allocated for Alex, he can easily understand whether he has become stronger. Moreover, another thing that will make Alex spend his time better is,
-->>I never thought a key would come to me so easily. (Alex)
Alex was getting ready to leave his house when he said this. By his words, he meant a small dagger. Alex's main weapon is a dagger or short sword. So it was a weapon of choice for Alex. Even though Alex already had a deadly weapon, it still seemed like a good weapon to Alex. Last night, Almond handed the dagger to Alex. Although at first, Alex didn't understand what the dagger was like. But as soon as he picked it up, it started popping up on Alex's screen.
-""Master, you have collected the fourth key.""-
This was the system message. At first, Alex was speechless. But then he became normal. He didn't know how his father came to possess this thing, but he knew one thing very well. And that was that Alex was able to collect a key for free. Alex said goodbye to his father and mother and set off for Mephas Academy. Alex had talked to the two of them a little openly last night, although he knew that Almond and Maria were residents of the tower, Alex still didn't know much about their identities. And Alex didn't think much about this small matter. Because there were so many big things going on in his head all the time. He put his thoughts aside. He finished packing, so he took the sword in his hand and started checking it again.
××× Item Information ×××
Name: Moon Dagger (Twin Blade)
A dagger that likes to cut dead things. It's a twin dagger, so it's partially cut.
Effect:
1) If you attack a dead object, you will see the dagger's flower power.
2) Can absorb dead objects, such as undead.
3) When used for the first time, the agility stat will increase by 20.
4) When used with Twin, all the above effects will be doubled.
Alex took the sword in his hand and realized that one of the two keys was a dagger. Since there was a mention of a twin dagger. And since its name was Moon Dagger, the other one would undoubtedly be called Sun Dagger. Of course, this was just Alex's idea.

(Wexcool Mansion)
The powerful Duke of Mephas is Duke Avest von Wexkull. And in his huge mansion, his daughter Elin and Princess Enri are sitting. Both are ready, Enri and Elin will both leave for the tower test. Although Princess Enri did not directly participate in Mephas' academy, she was still a student of Mephas on paper and participated in the two-month test. Only no one saw or noticed her. Duke Avest had brought Princess Enri to his house for a long time. Everyone knew that the Princess was at the Duke's house, since the King of Mephas himself never dared to treat Avest badly, so his sons also knew how powerful Duke Avest was. Although Duke Mandela has a relationship with the First Prince, even the First Prince could not do anything to Duke Avest. In one word, the First Prince has been of great benefit to Duke Avest's work. The three pillars of the kingdom are the three royal children. Since the King is dead, the burden of the kingdom is on three people. And among them is Princess Enrio. Since according to the royal rules, the princess cannot take the throne herself, but her support is very necessary to become the king of a kingdom. And that is why the two princes are trying their best to bring the princess to their team. Although the first prince has more support, since the second prince controls the military, he wanted to make the game safe. And at that time, Duke Avest melted the nose and ruined the whole game for the two princes.
Elin and Princess Enri are sitting in a room. Princess Enri has changed her appearance again to hide her identity. Magical powder, which can change anyone's appearance. It works a lot like makeup. However, this powder is a hundred times more effective than makeup. Although the princess is very beautiful, this powder can make her even more beautiful. But it will not benefit the princess. Instead, all eyes will be on her. That's why the princess has changed to sable. Although her appearance is very similar except for the color, no one will recognize her because it is a story.
-->>Janhapana, the more I see you, the more I can't remember you in this form. (Elaine)
Elin is always amazed by the effectiveness of the magic powder. Surprisingly, it is a powder that can turn even an old woman into a young woman.
-->>Are you kidding me? I'm probably taking it to be black so that my identity remains a secret. But you? You're already so beautiful, why are you getting even fairer? (Enri)
Enri has been noticing for quite some time. The Elin who had suddenly changed, her behavior was completely cold. That Elin had changed again. But this time the change was completely different. Although Enri had never met such a change in person, she had read many stories. And through those stories, Enri knew what it was,
"I think Sior Elin is in love with someone." (Enri is thinking)
In the Kingdom, love before marriage is a forbidden act for nobles. So most nobles do not know what love is. However, this is seen occasionally among commoners. Nobles' marriages are never based on love. Most of the time, it is seen that nobles marry their children to their enemies' children to improve their relations with their enemies. As a result, there is never a thing called love between them. And thus, they do not understand what love is. Again, commoners are much ahead in this regard. Enri himself did not know much about this. However, he had many commoners' written nobles in his own library. And as a result, Enri learned about love and romance. Enri noticed that since coming back from the test, Elin was not paying attention to anything, and he also noticed Elin smiling secretly. And all these are signs of love. However, Enri has not told Elin anything about this yet.
Elin's face turned a little red at Enri's words. Enri hadn't seen Elin look like this in years. Elin had changed a lot, but Enri felt good seeing Elin becoming her old self again. Elin was embarrassed, so Enri was sure of his thoughts.
-->>I'm sure you're in love with someone. So how far have the talks progressed? Uncle Uexkul didn't tell me anything about your marriage being arranged. So are you keeping everything as a surprise for me? (Enri)
Henri knows that Elin is not the kind of person to fall in love with anyone else. And as a Nobel Prize winner, that's not even possible. So he thinks that maybe Avest von Uexkul has arranged Elin's marriage somewhere. And Elin has fallen in love with him.
-->>So was your future groom in the test? Or is he some old Nobel again. (Enri)
Enri said this jokingly. It's not that there is absolutely no love between the nobles. Only if the children of a noble are married to each other can love be born or be born between them.
-->>What are you saying? It's time to go out. (Elin)
Elin took the whole matter to another side with a single word. Although she understood Enri's words clearly. Elin herself didn't know why she was behaving like this. Maybe it was the nature of girls. She ignored this thought and took Enri to the academy.
Princess Enri is a life energy user. There are only ten life energy users in Mephas Academy and she is one of them. Enri has the right to enter the tower test as a princess, but Enri did not use her identity here. She entered the academy from the mansion in Uexkul, keeping her identity a secret. Since she is a life user, she did not have any problems.
The two left the mansion and set off in a carriage for the academy.
"I'm looking forward to seeing Elin's beloved. But unfortunately I didn't find anyone. Elin's father's offer wasn't bad either. But I don't like Edward at all. Maybe on this trip I'll find someone I like, since I'm a commoner now, I have no limitations." (Enri thinks)

Everyone entered the academy one by one. Once again, everyone was present in the academy auditorium. Teacher Diara, who teaches Mana classes, has been busy drawing a circle since morning. Right in the middle of the auditorium, she is making a very big and round strange circle. These are called magic circles. Which work for various magic. Before this, Teacher Diara had made a circle. And through that, everyone knows that it is a teleportation circle. Once this circle is made, if someone enters energy into it, they will be able to reach their destination in an instant. Teacher Diara was preparing the teleportation circle using different types of stones.
-->>Wouldn't it be great if we could make a circle like this?
-->>Maybe we can learn from the tower too.
-->>I heard that making these circles requires a lot of money. Usually, one hundred thousand gold coins are needed for each circle.
-->>Then you have to learn. If I can make something like this for someone, then it's coins and coins.
-->>.....
The principal suddenly came into the auditorium and everyone became silent. By now everyone was sharing their opinions. Which was different for each person. After Teacher Diara finished her circle, she activated it. Light started coming out from the circle drawn on the floor. One by one, all the students started going into the circle. Everyone who stepped into the circle was teleported away from there.
A teleportation circle was formed outside the huge tower, where many people from the academy were standing. Each of them was a teacher from the academy in the capital of the Fire Empire. Each one was a very powerful person, with whom even the Emperor of the Empire did not want to get into trouble. In front of them were four teachers and all the students from a small kingdom like Mephas. Everyone was feeling a bit nervous.
-->>I've been waiting for a long time. Although the suggestion from the principal of Mephas Academy seemed stupid at first, I realized how effective it was.
One of the Empire teachers came forward and started talking. The principal of Mephas also started answering,
-->>Everything has been done with your permission. But I hope that through this, we can at least somewhat defend ourselves against the insiders of the tower. (Principal of Mephas)
-->>Yes, I'm hoping for that.
The Principal of Mephas Academy finished talking to the teachers of the Empire. After they finished talking, everyone was ready. In front of the students was a huge tower, whose name was written in large letters, "Tower of Gluttony". The size of the tower is so huge that it covers the entire area of a city. Since the tower is located in the Fire Empire, the Fire Empire has a little more facilities. It's not that the other empires don't enjoy the facilities as well. Everyone has an interest here. The top end of the huge tower cannot be seen from the bottom. There are mana users who can fly, they have tried to fly to the east to see the end of it, but no one has been able to see the end of the tower so far. And even after thousands of years have passed, no one has received much answer about the mystery of all this.
A huge gate opened under the tower. One by one, all the students started entering. The students were not only from Mephas. Apart from them, a total of several thousand students from the five empires were entering the tower.

A man entered a black cave. He was wearing a black dress. Since his entire body was covered in black, no part of his face or body could be seen. He entered the deepest part of the cave. There are five huge mountains above the cave, due to which there is a very high level of gravity in this part of the cave. Even an ordinary god cannot survive here. However, nothing happens to the man dressed in black. He is walking through the cave like a normal person. After entering, he stopped at a place. There is a huge sealed stone in that place. And a man is lying under that stone. It would be wrong to say that he is lying down, to be precise, he is trapped there. The man dressed in black started talking.
-->>So Stone Monkey is still imprisoned here.
The person buried under the stone began to say,
-->>So the Moon God's avatar came to play with me?
-->>No, I just came to give a message to the Sun God. He set the chess stage, but I fixed the pieces. Now all that's left is for the two Supreme Gods to move. (The person in black)
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black began to vanish into thin air. His body created a puff of smoke and disappeared from there in a matter of seconds.
