Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 671: Privileges

Having one magus to another, acting as what seemed to be a personal guide and escort, did allow Emery to catch a glimpse of how much privileges the privileged class acolytes had in their hands.

”We will see each other many times in the future, so I hope to know you well, Ambrose!” said Magus Ramora with a smile on her face.

”Just call me Emery. Emery will be fine.. Senior,” replied Emery repectfully.

The smile on her face widened slightly when she saw how Emery reacted. 

”Aaah, you are not like other privileges, arenʼt you?..humble and polite, do you..? Too bad.. You might not last long here with that kind of attitude.”

Magus Ramora looked like she was in her late 20s, just like how Magus Xion looked. However, Emery could roughly perceive her strength from the aura she gave off; she should at least be a Half Moon stage Magus.

”No! No, not there! This way.” said Magus Ramora quickly when she saw Emery walk in the wrong direction. 

The blue hair magus then explained that the privileged acolytes were here as a supplementary.

The yellow planet called Hyperion was actually one of the 4 special planets that Magus Alliance deemed as the best place to cultivate, hence the mainstay here was mostly the specially chosen magus. 

This was proven by the fact that there was 50 times more magus training in this place than the privileged acolytes and due to their relatively small number, the privileged had their own separate place.

Magus Ramora proceeded to take Emery on a tour of the place. The two did a lap around the place while the former explained which section was which.

”A Wing is for the top elite magus, while B Wing is for the other special magus. As for you, a privileged acolyte, C Wing will be the place for you from now on.”

As soon as they reached the place, Emery started to see familiar faces dressed in their white uniforms. However, there were only a few of them seen around; all big white halls and glass views of the sky but almost no one else was around.

As if she knew what he was thinking without asking, Magus Ramora said. 

”Well, itʼs a common sight actually. Everyone is mostly in their own accommodation, busy training. People only come here for the common facility and when they need to go out of the planet.”

Afterwards, Emery was taken to one side of the place and shown a map of the whole planet while looking at the wide view window in front of them. It was this moment that he realized that the whole planet was a series of floating islands.

There were three dozen of them, and half of them were bigger than the hub island he was currently at. 

Emery noticed how one third of the islands didnʼt have any description in the map and were marked as classified. Eight of them were elemental islands, while the remaining were savage islands, which was as the name implied: places where ferocious creatures and monsters resided.

This whole planet of unique disposition was exclusively catered for about five thousand individuals; truly a one-of-the-kind privilege to enjoy.

”Also, this is very important!” Magus Ramora said as she reached the end of her words. ”The whole planet is a gas giant, so you donʼt want to fall down the mist unless you are tired of life. And also this.. I almost forgot about this.”

She gave Emery a flat crystal box. Inside, there were the white uniform of the privileged class acolyte and a bracelet.

Emeryʼs gaze was fixed on the bracelet lying peacefully on top of the uniform.

”Wear the bracelet first,” Magus Ramora said.

Emery took the bracelet from the box and examined it carefully. It was a silver bracelet with several markings engraved on its surface and emit a faint glow when he wore it. Furthermore, it also reacted with the symbol on his palm.

[Scanning Bearer of the privilege bracelet]

[Identity confirmed]

[Emery Ambrose]

[Privilege acolytes member id: 83192008]

[You have 3 items on your storage]

[10 x spirit stone (red)]

[10 x spirit foundation pill]

[One Orbiter tier 2]

It took Emery a moment to process what he just received. He rubbed his eyes once more, making sure what he was seeing at the moment was true.

One red spirit stone worth 10.000 normal spirit stones, which meant he just received a total worth of 100.000 spirit stones. This still hadnʼt included the 10 Spirit Foundation Pill – something that was extremely hard to come by even when you had the money to buy it. To put the cherry on top, there was also an orbiter given to him. ɌÁℕỐ𝔟Ɛ𝘴

Orbiter is the transportation device that would allow one to travel through the air, to put it simply: flying. Unlike the magus, acolytes were not able to fly yet, hence Emery would be depending on this orbiter during his time here.

Magus Ramora then told Emery to go change to his uniform which after Emery realized that the white uniform had a similar effect to tier 3 protective armor, but with more comfort.

Emery couldnʼt help but take a deep breath as he enjoyed one of the many luxuries the privileged class acolytes boasted. When he returned to Magus Ramora, she gave a strange smile at him.

”Whatʼs wrong? Is there something on me?” asked Emery.

She shook her head and said, ”Itʼs nothing. I just couldnʼt help but think that now you are wearing this uniform, you finally have the same look as the others… just cuter.”

Emery pretended to not hear the last remark she spoke and asked, 

”Alright. What should I do next?”

”Well, you already have all the information about the island and you can visit the ones you are interested in for a place to stay. In fact, most of the planetʼs residents will find their own places all around the island. Either from one of the large islands or from the thousands of stone pillars that rose from the mist; just check which area is open for the acolytes and if no one claimed it, then itʼs yours.”

Hearing this made Emery excited as he couldnʼt wait to start on his training in this favorable environment. He was bidding farewell to the magus and was about to find his own place when she suddenly stopped him.

Apparently, she almost forgot to tell him another important fact. 

Magus Ramora took out a sphere from her spatial ring and handed it to Emery, telling him to check it.

He quickly pressed a button on the sphere, and immediately, a holographic screen appeared where a list of names with numbers were listed next to them. 

[Privilege Ranking]

He scrolled through the list briefly, to see who were the top acolytes. Then, he finally searched for his name.

[Rank 99 – Emery Ambrose]

”Ah, I am the 99th. I guess I am not the lowest,” said Emery with a smile. The reason he said this was because he knew the privileged class consisted of 100 people.

Unexpectedly, Magus Ramora laughed when she heard that.

”Hahahha! Actually, one is expelled and the other died, hence your rank is 99th. So no, you are still the lowest.”

Emery was shocked to hear that. After all, it had only been eight days since they had returned, but one had already died.

”Anyway, my point is, keep your ranking up you will get a better reward” Her expression then suddenly turned cheeky as she said, ”Do you want to test and see if you can rank better? You are , after all, the champion of yesterdayʼs game.”
