God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

There were a total of three halls present in the Quest area.

The main hall, where quests were assigned, flanked by two side halls where students could prepare for various quests.

One of the Side Halls was the Shops Hall. Following Instructor Doriath, they all poured into the hall.

Immediately after they entered, they were faced with a lobby filled with rows of staff members at the far end, attending to various two-star ascendants.

Nolan found it strange that none of the students who entered the shops hall ever returned with anything in their hands.

That brought his gaze to their finger, and he saw each of them wearing spatial rings.

'It really is a cool way to store stuff,' Nolan mused, rubbing the small ring on his hand.

The one he had was given by Luna giving him an extra advantage. He had also make sure to pack some few ersonal stuff of his within for the quest too.

"Right now, the points you all possess are at a maximum of 500, so for now, you'll only have access to the shop area where the lowest grade of equipment is stored,"

Instructor Doriath's voice broke his thoughts as she led them to one of the staff members.

After exchanging a few words with the staff, Nolan caught the name of the other instructor.

Her name was Instructor Fiona.

She looked very young, around the age of 25, and she led them away, entering an elevator.

Within, zhe stretched out her hand and tapped on the number 2.

Immediately, they were all whisked upward, and the elevator opened just ten seconds later.

When they stepped out, the students were surprised by what they saw.

It was another large hall, but this time it seemed more like a corridor with various doors, each with inscriptions written on them.

The ones Nolan quickly identified were:

"Weapon Hall,"

"Armor Hall,"

"Runic Card Hall."

"These are the only equipment available to you all for now," Instructor Fiona explained.

"Each weapon and armor possesses added advantages, which you'll learn by simply placing a finger on them."

"If you possess enough points, simply picking them up and holding them tightly in your hands will be enough to initiate the transaction."

"Once you buy it, you can no longer return it, so please be careful."

"Make sure not to hold it firmly if you're not willing to go through with the purchase."

"If you don't have enough points for whatever you choose, then the transaction will be thwarted, and you won't be able to carry the artifact out of this place."

"While you're free to walk around and examine each of the artifacts know that the eyes of a Judge linger over this entire hall, watching everything."

"If you're caught stealing, the punishment will be severe—your points will instantly be deducted, your experience halved, and whatever you stole will be taken away from you."

"So please, save yourself the headache and don't think you're smarter than a Judge."

"That said, You all have an hour to make your choices. Get going now…" she called out to them as the students began moving into the various halls.

Remaining behind were two people: Instructor Fiona and Nolan.

Nolan didn't think he needed anything else.

He already had his dagger and chain in hand, and he believed those were enough for him to ake on anything thrown at him.

If there was anything he would consider buying, it would be protection cards, just to be safe, but he had already been given plenty of those by Luna, so there wasn't any need.

Still, a question kept lingering in Nolan's mind.

'Is there truly the gaze of a Judge watching over us? Can you sense it, system?' He asked.

He had heard what Instructor Fiona said, and he wanted to confirm with the system if it was true.

[I don't know. Don't ask me. But I don't think they're stupid enough to put so many resources here without any sort of security.]

[Look, there aren't any runic cameras.]

[And that pretty lady didn't think it was necessary to watch out for you, nor does she seem worried that you might try to steal something.]

[So, definitely, there have to be some sort of security measures in place here…] the system reasoned.

Nolan turned his head, looking around the walls.

Just as the system said, he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Silently, he waited beside Instructor Fiona.

The lady didn't question his decision to stay behind, likely understanding the reason.

It was not uncommon for students to have all their points stolen from them in this place.

Quietly, they both waited, and after exactly 45 minutes, the students began pouring out of the halls.

Fifteen minutes later, all the students were out.

There were no alarms, so it seemed none of them had tried to steal from the hall.

Instructor Fiona didn't bother asking each of them what their choices were.

She simply directed them back to Instructor Doriath, who thanked her before they all exited the Shops Hall.

Having visited two of the halls, there was only one left: the Transportation Hall.

"As you might already know, the Academy offers free transportation to the venue of your various missions…"

"Once your mission are completed, you'll be automatically teleported back to this place."

Instructor Doriath lectured as they entered the building and were quickly led to the staff members, who collected their quest scrolls and guided them away.

Nolan passed his quest scroll to one of the staff members, a bearded man.

The man stared at it for a long while before calling for one of the two-star ascendants standing nearby.

Nolan followed after the man.

Together, they walked into an elevator and rose up for quite a while before finally stepping out.

When they stepped out, Nolan was faced with a large room where a singular, gigantic green circle was on the ground, oozing with eerie green lights.

"Is that a…?"

[Runic Teleporter.]

The system completed as he stepped into the room, moving closer to the teleporter.

"Stand on it..." the two-star ascendant said to him, before walking to the side where a group of buttons could be seen, and Nolam quietly waited.

It was his first time on a teleporter, and he couldn't help the excitement that made his heart pound as he waited.

But two minutes later, the young man was still pressing the buttons, causing Nolan to furrow his brows.

He didn't think it was strange, maybe it just took time for the teleporter to be activated.

Three minutes… five minutes… ten minutes passed.

Nolan waited, and by this time, he was starting to feel suspicious.

"Hey, is everything okay?" He asked.

Perhaps the teleporter was broken?

"Hey?" Nolan called out once more, but he stopped when he felt a dark barrier cover the entire teleporter space and the platform began vibrating.

Finally… Nolan thought to himself.

But his expression quickly changed when the system's notification panel flashed rapidly before his eyes.

[Malicious intent detected!]

[Malicious intent detected!]

[Host is being transferred to a Bizarre World Force!]

[Danger! Danger!]

The notification blinked repeatedly, and Nolan's eyes flashed.

Without needing to be told, his feet aggressively pushed into the ground as he tried to immediately jump away from the teleporter

But he failed as the void of space around him seemingly paused, and tendrils of darkness came out of the teleporter, wrapping tightly around Nolan's leg, forcibly dragging him in.

His face smashed first onto the ground as he struggled with all of his strength, his muscles bulging up, yet still failed to escape.

[It's a trap!] the system roared angrily in his head as Nolan was quickly pulled into the teleporter, its green energy now emanating a dark aura.

He struggled fiercely until he suddenly halted and turned to face the one who had led him into the trap.

He could see the young man stepping forward toward him, a mocking grin on his face as he stared down at him with scorn.

"You fell perfectly into the trap, Nolan Gottschald!" the young man said, his crimson hair flaring all around him as he arrived before Nolan, who struggled with all his power to stop the force from dragging him completely.

"I feel pity for you. Because, it's not your fault at all."

"But I can't feel mercy for you. Only if you had remained mediocre… Perhaps you could have avoided this fate of yours…" the young man said, and Nolan's eyes flashed with anger.

'Shit! I've been set up!'

"I'll find you, you bastard!"

"And I'll send you to hell the next time I see your bloody face!" He threatened through clenched teeth as he felt the teleporter pull tighter and slowly drag him deeper.

His entire upper body was quickly swallowed.

"Send me to hell!?"

"You wish to send me to hell!?"

"That is only if you survive living in hell in the first place!"

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

All Nolan could hear was the deadly evil laughter before he was completely sucked into the teleporter.

Once he was gone, the young man raised his hand to the teleporter, dark energy moving out of the platform and entering into his palms.

Soon, the dark energy cleared up completely, leaving behind only the normal green energy that the teleporter had been radiating before.

His mission has been completed with n staffs alerted.

"The World of Deathstone!"

"No one can return from the only hell in the Mortal Realm, and you won't be the first!"

The young man whispered before stepping out of the room, his evil and dark aura quickly dissipating as the teleporter soon shut down, leaving the room in silence once more.
