Chapter 32:
Philip stood nervously outdoors the Headmaster’s workplace, and gulped laborious.
Headmaster Rosello Graham of Privia Academy was a determine solely designated to help the protagonist’s achievements. Regardless of his unbelievable energy and competence, he appeared surprisingly disinterested within the academy’s mages.
Philip had encountered him solely as soon as throughout his time on the academy.
‘I can’t appear to determine what he does round right here.’
Philip thought to himself as he knocked on the Headmaster’s door twice.
“Philip Oswald, are available in.”
A immediate response got here from inside.
As Philip entered, he noticed the dean sitting behind his desk, engrossed in what appeared to be essential paperwork.
“That’s proper, Mr. Oswald. You need to set up a membership, don’t you?”
The Headmaster inquired, and Philip nodded in affirmation.
“Sure, that’s right.”
“I’ve been maintaining tabs in your progress. You’ve made fairly an impression within the Magic Division Coaching. Professor Evelyn’s oversight, not recognizing the presence of a demon there, was a serious blunder.”
“Properly, gained’t or not it’s okay if he’s extra cautious subsequent time?”
Philip replied, and the Headmaster nodded with a glad expression.
“You’ve been doing nicely currently. Nonetheless, might I give you some recommendation from the angle of somebody watching over you?”
“I’m all ears.”
Philip regarded on the Headmaster with a tense expression. It appeared just like the headmaster knew one thing, irrespective of how he thought of it.
“First, don’t get too entangled with demons. Be cautious till you’ll be able to correctly wield that treasure of yours.”
Philip took a deep breath, making an attempt to take care of his composure. The Headmaster’s expression was inscrutable, however inside, Philip felt a surge of feelings, as if he had been pierced within the coronary heart.
‘On the very least, he have to be solely educated concerning the Moonlight Sword.’
Philip thought.
“And I hope you’ve been getting alongside nicely with the dragon. She has endured many lonely years, so you could possibly develop into a superb pal to her. I’ll organize so that you can set up the membership.”
Philip’s jaw dropped in shock.
He had heard rumors that distinctive sages may discern occasions taking place miles away whereas sitting at a desk, and now, the present scenario appeared to substantiate it.
“Did you… learn about it?” Philip inquired cautiously.
The Headmaster chuckled softly.
“Hah, opening a spatial teleportation portal throughout the academy? Even the magic division’s professors must dedicate three days and nights to realize such a feat.”
“Ah…”
Philip realized that he had by no means thought of the truth that a magician would sense the traces left behind when utilizing a portal.
“Carry some good tea leaves and pay her a go to. You may be in for some good luck.”
Because the viewers concluded, Philip left the Headmaster’s workplace with a way of disappointment, however he rapidly regained his composure.
‘It’s inevitable that my whereabouts have been uncovered. Nonetheless, at this level, I can see it as a stroke of luck.’
He couldn’t discern the Headmaster’s actual motivations for discussing these issues with him.
It might need been a warning to not boast an excessive amount of, or maybe the Headmaster’s genuinely wished to supply some recommendation.
Nonetheless, unsure of whether or not the Headmaster was an ally or not, Philip resolved to strategy future occasions with larger warning.

After acquiring approval for the membership institution, issues progressed swiftly. Headmaster Rosello Graham was identified for his decisive actions.
Inside an hour, the formal approval got here by way of, and Felicia, who acquired the information, relayed it to Philip.
“Now we’d like an acceptable house for the Journey Membership. However the buildings close to the college or the primary sq. are already occupied. Maybe the brand new golf equipment may discover house across the dormitory outskirts or close to the again hill.”
Philip nodded, understanding the practicality of the scenario.
Because the academy grounds have been huge, golf equipment working removed from the college buildings or the primary sq. tended to be much less in style. If it took somebody twenty minutes to stroll again to their dormitory after membership actions, it will certainly be burdensome.
‘Oh, I see.’
Philip quickly found a barely raised flooring tile that stood out a little bit unnaturally after clearing two empty bins. It was raised simply sufficient that somebody delicate may not discover it. Philip realized that it was one of many 4 tiles used as a code.
“This one is the southeast tile.”
Stepping on the tiles within the right sequence would open the hidden passage.
‘Was the sequence 12143213?’
As his reminiscence was considerably faint, Philip needed to undergo a number of failures. Stepping on the tiles, every about 40 cm in size, it regarded as if he have been dancing.
Neria watched with amusement as Philip struggled, and chuckled.
“….”
Philip quickly recalled the sequence and guessed the proper reply, inflicting the tile he was standing on to separate open, revealing a staircase main downwards.
‘I all the time marvel how my grasp is aware of about this stuff.’
“Simply take it with no consideration.”
‘Nya.’
Philip descended the slim stairs. After taking place what felt like about two flooring underground, he noticed lights illuminated by magic flowing out from past a closed door.
‘… What is that this place for?’
As they opened the door and stepped inside, they discovered themselves in an enormous chamber. The construction resembled an artificially crafted cave, with three closed doorways seen, and an altar positioned on the heart of the corridor.
“Why does it appear empty?” Philip contemplated aloud.
‘Doesn’t appear like anybody’s right here,’ Neria replied, her voice tinged with shock.
Simply as Neria completed talking, a sudden burst of inexperienced flames shot up from the altar. Because the flames dissipated, they revealed a translucent, brown bear standing there.
“By the heavens, I by no means anticipated a customer to seem on this place. On behalf of my grasp, the esteemed sage Asura, I lengthen a heat welcome to you,” the bear mentioned, assuming a courteous posture, and barely bended its legs like a human noble.
“Happy to fulfill you,” Philip responded, unperturbed by the bear’s skill to talk. In a world the place swords conversed, a speaking bear was hardly astonishing.
“Would you want to listen to concerning the ‘Corridor of Accomplishment’?”
The bear politely supplied, to which Philip nodded in settlement.
“The honorable Asura, the third headmaster of the famend Privia Academy, desired that the valuable magical objects and spellbooks he had collected all through his life would find yourself within the fingers of pure-hearted and clever college students, slightly than grasping and impressive adults. Thus, he created this place. Though he left earlier than offering any clues to seek out this place.”
“In fact, I stumbled upon this place by probability.”
The ‘Corridor of Accomplishment’ was an area identified solely to him.
He recollected how he by chance found it whereas aimlessly wandering the warehouse, engrossed in a recreation and distracted by a cellphone name. Abruptly, a staircase main underground appeared earlier than him.
It was certainly a lucky coincidence. There was no strategy to discover any clues about this place throughout the recreation.
Philip regarded on the bear. It was astonishing to witness a bear making facial expressions, nevertheless it was evident that the bear was considering Philip. The expression with the Kanji character for “river” drawn on its brow was slightly amusing.
{TN:- In East Asian cultures, together with Chinese language, Japanese, and Korean, Kanji characters are logographic characters which can be used to jot down phrases and phrases. Every Kanji character represents an idea or phrase, and a few characters have visually distinctive shapes that may resemble objects or symbols.

“In fact, this place was created for younger college students. My grasp hoped that proficient and promising college students would develop into distinctive people, contributing to the continent utilizing the secrets and techniques and artifacts hidden right here. Forgive my impertinence, however might I inquire about your age, esteemed customer?” the bear requested.
“I’m twenty-two.”
“Oh… I consider I can accommodate that age distinction. You might take the exams ready on this place and obtain rewards primarily based in your achievements. Please look at these doorways over there.”
Following the bear’s lead, Philip regarded on the three doorways.
The phrases “Braveness,” “Knowledge,” and “Data” glimmered on the floor of the doorways, radiating a mesmerizing gentle.
