Echoplanet - Volume 1: First Glimmers of Talent
Chapter 5: The Day of Departure
Bart not only taught Ukko more advanced water elemental magic, but also shared his adventurous experiences from his youth. He told Ukko that a magician must not only be proficient in magic, but also possess rich combat experience and flexible adaptability.
Under Bart's guidance, Ukko's strength was further improved. He was also full of confidence in the upcoming magic academy entrance exam.
A few days later, the day of the magic academy entrance exam finally arrived.
Ukko bid farewell to his parents and Bart, and set out alone on the road to the capital of the Element Kingdom.
Emerald Village was far from the capital of the Element Kingdom, requiring several days of walking to reach. Ukko carried a simple pack on his back and advanced along the winding mountain road.
Along the way, he met many young people like him, traveling to the capital to take the exam. Some came from remote villages, some from bustling cities, but they all wore the same longing and desire on their faces.
Ukko interacted with them, sharing their magical knowledge and cultivation experiences. He discovered that although he was considered a top performer in Emerald Village, he was just an ordinary person in the entire Element Kingdom.
This strengthened his determination to enter the Element Academy. Only by entering the Element Academy could he come into contact with more outstanding people, learn more powerful magic, and survive in this cruel world.
After several days of trekking, Ukko finally arrived at the capital of the Element Kingdom.
The capital of the Element Kingdom was a magnificent city, with tall city walls towering into the clouds, wide and clean streets, and a bustling crowd.
Ukko was shocked by the prosperity of this city. He had never seen such a spectacular city, nor had he seen so many people.
He took a deep breath, calmed his excited mood, and followed the map's directions to the location of the Element Academy.
The Element Academy was located in the center of the capital, an ancient and mysterious building. At the entrance of the academy, there stood two rows of soldiers in uniform, their expressions serious, their eyes sharp, exuding a powerful aura.
Ukko knew that these soldiers were all from the Element Academy...
