Chapter 88: I never said that
The next part was smooth sailing. While on the way to buying the plot for himself, he had already registered himself as one of the citizens of Vallin, with Komin as the insurer, and thus the required documents and verification didn’t take much time. The lease was done for the next 1,000 years, and he could renew it at the same price after 1,000 years.
Aric thanked Komin for the help. The permission to move in would take a day or so, which was fine with Aric as he would need to get back to his home, too. He had everything sorted in both worlds now.
Time for the next step.

1 and a half years later.
Distant Wind City.
Aric had grown quite taller for his age. He was 15 this year, and now he finally had the chance to get admitted into a magic school. The admissions for different magic schools were different. There were different criteria for different magic schools. Since there were different magical elements, there were magical schools based on elements alone. The known magical elements were air, water, fire, earth, lightning, light, and darkness. These were the most well-known elements.
But over the past year, he had conversed with Gopher a lot. They had spoken at length about the different elements. Most of the people around would only have an affinity for one element in their lifetime, and the levels of affinity would determine what kind of school would allow them to join. In one of these lengthy talks about the world around them, Gopher had spoken of a story about a huge war that had happened between humans and the "other monsters."
And affinity wouldn’t be the only criterion. There were other branches of schools, too. There were beast-taming schools, magical artifact-creating schools, herbology schools, and medical schools.
