The monk guy sat on the ground and folded his hands on his laps.
"What are you doing? All sorcery is sealed within another sorcerer's domain." Daki said confused.
"Secret Buddha technique!" The monk shouted. Quickly, he stood and ran past Daki as fast as he could. Daki realized the cheat a little too late and ran after him. "Where do you think you are going to?!" He shouted.
Daki chased him until he stopped outside the building on the bridge. Monk guy turned to Daki and smiled using the half broken mask to cover his face. He draws a shining blue circle in the air. "No!" Daki yelled running towards him. The circle expands and he walks through.

The school's hierarchy system was simple. They had the elite students and the VIP elite students. Of course, every student was part of the important houses of the kingdom but then, there were the students from the top five ranking houses of Oailia. They were literally considered as mini gods.
Eren arrived at school the next day to meet everywhere in disarray. He arrived late as usual as he had never met the assembly and he was still struggling to know all the teachers faces and how to find his way around the school.
The first class was botany and It was an interesting class but then, there was everyone walking around in the hallway. He saw some students gathered around the News board. They were talking about something called the sponsorship test.
"I didn't imagine it would be so soon, I'm not ready yet." a girl said to a boy as they walked past Eren.
"Who would have known that they would decide to conduct the test at this time after four years. We sure are lucky aren't we? Most people don't get the chance to take the test though out their school lives." The guy replied.
"Well, I guess they ran out of apprentices." The girl said.
"What ever the case may be, I'm excited." The guy said.
"You're excited, I'm terrified." She retorted.
Eren walked over to one of the boards in the hallway where others stood to see, but when they turned and saw him, they went away.
Eren found this disturbing, so he turned to see the class president standing behind him.
"Good morning president." Eren said.
She merely replied with a smile.
Not so long after, the golden brown hair guy arrived with his lackies and stood beside Eren. After some time, Phillip, and then, the purple hair girl.
"Interesting." Golden-haired guy said. He turned to the crowd, "...shall we turn this into a bet?" He shouted drawing attention.
"Okay, then I bet that you won't get chosen." Purple hair girl said.
"Ha..." He chuckled, "...that's the spirit." He said. "I bet on Ceasar from the second year with fifteen gold Darius Coins." He said.
"I place sixteen on your head" she retorted.
"Be prepared to lose your money." He said
Eren's mouth and eyes fell wide open on hearing the amount of money they were putting out for a bet. One gold Darius coin was equal to a thousand silver Darius coins.
"I place twelve on Perez from the second grade." Phillip said
"I bet on myself with 20 gold Darius Coins." Aurora suddenly said.
"I'm sorry, did I trigger something? You really don't have to put that much on the line." Golden hair guy said.
Eren didn't understand what was going on anymore. "Do they know how the money they are throwing away could change some people's lives?!" He thought. The very thought was infuriating.
"Oh, you don't think I'll win..." Aurora continued, "...It's okay, I understand but be ready to loose all your money." She said with a smile as graciously as ever before walking away. Eren could see the change in his expression on his face but then he went back to normal.
"Feel free to place your bets, if you can afford it, that is." He announced to every one in the hallway.
About to leave, he turned to Eren "Eren of the Willberg house. I believe you are following the wrong crowd." He said with a smirk.
"What do you...?" Eren said but then, he turned and saw Noah standing behind him pretending to be reading the News on the board.
"Why are you following me monk?" Eren said after a while.
"I am not following you, and stop calling me that. I have a name." Noah retorted.
Eren knew that there was something more to this but he couldn't just point it out. He decided to find out the truth now.
"You were there that time at the entrance of the domain. I also know that you are a blue aura sorcerer and that you saved Miss Frieren's life back there with that artifact you were holding and now you are here for a reason." Eren said.
Noah's gaze turned serious and he looked directly into Eren's eyes. He looked like a completely different person.
"Do you think a grade five invincible dome could keep me from escaping?" He said. Eren furrowed his brows and heightened his senses. "You forget that this spell also keeps it's user at a risk. I could kill you right here and no one would ever know what happened." He continued.
"Who are you?" Eren shouted, now grasping the gravity of his situation. He had the resolve to get through with this until he found out the truth, but he knew that he had no knowledge whatsoever on practical offense magic because Alex died before he was old enough to learn it.
"Like I said, I'm Noah." Noah replied. "Still, you are impressive. I have never seen someone who could cast two spells at once . An expulsion spell together with a dome spell... I see you had a good teacher." Noah continued.
Eren was surprised that he had noticed the spell he casted even before the others left.
"Your mana gave off a yellow aura but you casted an invincible spell."
Invincible spells are spells that are performed without the sorcerers hands. They are casted with a whisper or command.
"Only blue aura sorcerers can cast invincible spells... I am the one supposed to be asking. Who are you?" Noah said. He took a stance and observed Eren's movements.
Eren felt Noah's mana building up in his body and he knew what was coming next. He surrounded himself with a triple yellow shield and closed his eyes waiting for a blast but nothing came. He opened his eyes to find Noah staring down at him like he had discovered something important.
"You have crossed the third realm." He blinked twice and stepped backwards, mesmerized. "Then why hasn't the seal been broken yet?" He thought aloud.
Eren stared back confused. "How do you know about the seal?" He asked.
"How do I know? How would anyone not know. Your mana is all over the place." He retorted and slapped his palm on his forehead. He walked over to Eren and placed his hand on his shoulder. "I wanted to find out just how much you knew. Now I'm relieved." Noah said.
Eren's vision blurred and he collapsed." I don't understand." He said before loosing consciousness
