Golden City.
This was the biggest city situated in the vicinity of the Magus Academy. In fact, one could reach the academy from the city with only one teleportation gate.
The city was so huge it occupied thirty percent of the planet's area by itself, leaving nearly all the remaining area as the industrial complex that kept the city going.
A group of people dressed in privileged class' attires were seen passing through the portal gate of this city. The appearance of this unfamiliar group immediately made numerous pairs of eyes turn their attention to them, most were looking with awe and jealousy, but there were also some with contempt in their gaze.
This group of people were naturally the one Emery was in. He along with Annara, Julian and Atlas had decided to come to Golden City.
The addition of the latter was an unexpected development, but Emery himself seemed to have no problem with the half-machine acolyte following him around. However, the other party had not made any sound at all since the island over to this place, which actually made things a little awkward.
Either way, Emery was glad he could return to this amazing city. For a moment, he even wondered if he would have the time to go see his friends that resided in this city: Cedric of the Apothecary Institute and Aeon of the Magus Guild.
"So where is the place you mentioned?" Emery asked the red-haired girl.
"Sister of Fate," answered Annara, causing Emery to turn his head at her. "We are going to a place called Sister of Fate."
Seeing the confused look on Emery's face, a smirk grew on Annara's face as she said, "I guess you lower realm have never heard of them. Well then, this could count as you owing me one more, you know. But this time, I won't do that. So let's go!"
Just as the red-haired girl was about to take the lead, Julian stopped her with his words. "Wait, we're still waiting for someone."
"Who?"
The moment Annara voiced her question, a disturbance came from the portal gate right behind them. Turning their heads around, they saw a beautiful girl with long dark hair come out of the portal and approached the group.
"I see you're having fun without me, huh?" The girl remarked, as she saw the four people.
Emery smiled when he saw her, before the girl quickly ran up and pounced at him. Seeing the girl coming excitedly, Emery just opened his arms wide to accept it and the two embraced with each other.
Naturally, the girl was none other than Klea.
The Egyptian queen hugged Emery tightly, as she looked at the others. "Fortunately someone warned me. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened." Her eyes shifted from Julian to Annara as she said those words.
While Julian just smiled wryly at her words, Annara on the other hand understood what Klea meant when she saw the latter's gaze on her. Hence, she snorted and said, "Seriously girl, he's all yours. You don't have to worry about me."
Seemingly annoyed by Klea's provocation, she added, "What you have to worry about is-"
Realizing what Annara was about to say, Emery immediately interrupted the conversation. Turning to Klea, he said, "Yes, yes. She's here to show me a place where we can obtain rare spells." Patting her back, he continued, "It's great that you can join us, and… we really should be going."
The mention of rare spells quickly caught Klea's interest. The topic was quickly diverted in another direction and as a result Emery managed to avoid a possible disaster.
The five acolytes then took a flying boat and made their way towards one corner of the city, where a building that looked like a temple with a large dome on the center could be seen. The entire building was covered in gold, giving the place an impression of luxury and majesty from a distance.
As they got closer to the building, Emery noticed how the number of people kept decreasing, until there were not many people in sight. This provided a very strange sight, as it was in stark contrast to the bustling area of the Golden City right behind them.
When they arrived, Annara quickly led the group to the entrance of the place. It was a huge door seemingly made of pure gold and laden with runes and symbols Emery had never seen before. It looked mesmerizing, to say the least.
As they walked through the door, the group was greeted by the sight of a dozen pale skinned women wearing masks made of silk. These people approached Emery and the others in an orderly manner, welcoming their arrival.
Annara proceeded to show one of the women her privileged identity. The group was led to a particular room and asked to wait for someone to come to attend them.
Much to Emery's surprise, they had been waiting for a long time and still no one came for them. However, this seemed to be the norm, as both Annara and Atlas did not seem to mind at all despite them being privileged acolytes whose time was precious.
Noticing the look Emery gave to her, Annara said, "Don't worry, just patiently wait. I assure you the Sisters of Fate are worth waiting for."
Klea, who at first came for fun, seemed to finally realize where they actually were. Her facial expression quickly turned serious.
Apparently, the Sisters of Fate were famous figures only a selected few were allowed to meet them. From the looks of it, it must be their privileged class status that allowed them to have a meeting with such figures.
Annara once again explained, "Consider the sisters as a valuable source of reference before you choose a good spell."
When someone finally arrived, Annara told Emery to go first, as it was a private consultation after all. Emery was then led to another room that gave off an extremely mystifying aura. As soon as he entered inside, he was surprised to see an altar with three figures sitting in line.
Emery's attention was immediately locked on the three figures, to be exact, three women with similar pale skin as the ones outside, but they emitted a powerful aura that flooded his senses. Thus Emery concluded they all should be grand magus figures.
What's more, the three of them looked much larger than a woman's usual size, which made Emery wonder if they were really humans behind their masks.
"Welcome, privileged acolytes. Come approach."
The voice of the women seemed to be able to speak directly to his mind and even echo to his soul.
Even though a bit surprised by the voice that directly entered his mind, Emery calmly walked forward and did as instructed.
He was told to touch a crystal cube that was floating in the air and the cube gradually gave off a bright light, shining in four different colors - green, yellow, blue and black. Obviously, those were colors that represented Emery's elemental affinity.
Immediately after, Emery felt as if something had probed into his body and explored inside.
One of the sisters, the one in the middle, opened her mouth. "What a very unique condition you have here."
The other sister, who sat on the left, said, "6 pillars formed with 5 different paths… This is quite phenomenal."
Afterwards, the one on the right side continued. "The boy is confused. He himself does not understand what's going on with him."
The voice stopped for a moment, before suddenly a question was heard - one that caught Emery off guard.
"Have you made a decision on your magus path yet? Do you know which path to choose?"
This time, it was the one sitting on the right who spoke.
"The boy doesn't even understand how to become a magus? He even thinks he can't be one."
What followed right after was a voice speaking inside Emery's head, with waves of information quickly entering his mind.
