The Greatest Sinner

Evan decided that asking for the full access to the library would be a good reward. That way he would gain a tremendous amount of knowledge and not have to wait for permission to visit certain sections. What's more, he'll save a certain amount of "Moon Coins".

"So, Evan, shall we go straight to the head of the Academy then?" Draven asked.

The young man nodded. He wanted to get his hard-earned reward, and Evan was curious to know more about the Academy itself. Apart from the two arenas and this room, he had not seen anything yet.

Click.

Evan and Draven left the room and went towards Arabella's office. In fact, Evan wasn't allowed to leave his room since he wasn't officially a student at the Academy yet. But, he was with Draven, so there shouldn't be any problems.

<Hmm, just like Sana said all students wear different mantles depending on their Class.> Evan thought as he looked at the students passing by them.

Each one of them stopped and greeted Draven respectfully. After all, he was a teacher of the fourth rank, only Arabella was above him. The students looked at Evan in amazement, they had never seen Draven walk with any of the students before.

<It looks like I will have to say goodbye to my coat.> Evan thought as he looked at his favorite coat. He's an Amplifier, which meant he would have to wear a yellow mantle. He didn't like that at all, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Whoosh.

Suddenly a girl came out from around the corner, her purple hair blending well with the blue mantle.

"Teacher Draven!" The girl said loudly and bowed immediately.

Draven nodded and continued walking on, but Evan stayed where he was.

"Sana?" The young man said in surprise. He hadn't expected to meet her here. As the girl had said before, she wore a blue mantle since she was a "Creator." She also had a small purple emblem hanging on her chest showing the color of her "Warp".

"Evan?" The girl flinched in surprise. She knew Evan would be entering the Academy, but she hadn't expected to see him so soon. Evan and the other newly admitted students had to wait for the ceremony before they could walk around the Academy.

"Sana, why is your mantle different from the others?" Suddenly Evan asked. He didn't have time to talk to Sana now, but he couldn't help but ask the question.

"Аh? What do you mean?" The girl said puzzled.

"I mean this." Evan replied calmly and pointed to the black frame of her blue mantle. In the other students he had met so far, he hadn't seen anything like that.

"Don't you know? Oh, right, sorry, I`ve forgotten to tell you. It is a distinctive feature of the mantle that shows the type of the student. The "Outer students" have a white frame, the "Inner students" have a black frame." Sana answered quickly.

"I see. See you later." Evan said briefly and followed Draven.

The girl wanted to say something, but Evan was already far away. Sana decided not to bother him, she was puzzled to see Evan walking next to Draven.

"Hmm, do you know her?" Draven asked.

"Yes, I met her on my way to the Academy, as I recall she was collecting Azure Dandelions." Evan replied calmly.

Draven nodded and continued on his way.

As they walked Evan looked carefully at the other students. To his surprise there were very few people in black-framed mantles. It was no surprise, though, as becoming an "Inner student" was a very difficult task.

"Draven, what exactly is the difference between "Inner students" and "Outer students"? Evan asked.

He understood that the "Inner students" had their advantages and perks, but he didn't know what they were. No one had told him that.

Draven looked at Evan in surprise and said: "You've worked so hard to become an "Inner student", and yet you know nothing about them? I'll explain it to you now."

"The first thing you have to understand is that "Inner students" have advantages over "Outer students" in almost everything. They have access to places closed to the "Outer students," like certain sections of the library.  The "Inner students" have the right to take on more difficult, but also more rewarding tasks. They can buy items exclusive to them in stores and much more." Draven calmly replied.

<Hmm, simply put, the "Inner students" have more freedom of action than the "Outer students". It would be troublesome if I couldn't visit some places just because I couldn't pass an exam>. Evan thought.

Draven continued: "Other students have a great desire to become "Inner students". Besides, the "Inner students" usually have the best teachers. There is almost no fourth rank teacher who has an "Inner student".

"Well, it turns out I didn't try so hard for nothing." With a smile on his face, Evan said.

Draven smiled and nodded. By this time, they had reached the office of the Head of "The Last Moon".

Draven pulled the handle, but the door was closed.

"Looks like the Head isn't there." Evan said depressingly.

Draven shook his head and said: "No, I don't think Arabella's gone anywhere, there's a ceremony coming up very soon. Well, I think I know what we need to do."

Click.

Draven applied a little more force and knocked the door from its hinges. Evan was surprised by his actions, for he had just broken the door of the Head of the Academy's office. Draven on the other hand walked inside with a calm face.

Evan followed him, inside he saw Arabella sitting at her desk, or rather at that moment she was asleep.

Draven sighed and said loudly: "Wake up!"

Arabella slowly opened her eyes and muttered: "Fuck, don`t yell like that, I`ve just fallen asleep...Draven, what do you want?"

She was clearly not in the good mood after her sleep had been interrupted.

She liked to sleep more than anything else in her life, if it had depended on her wish, she would have stayed in bed all her life.

Draven smiled and waved his hand and said: "Rewards!"

"What?". Arabella looked at Draven in confusion, but then she noticed Evan.

"So, you haven`t come alone, and what kind of teacher are you if you set a bad example for your students. Was it really necessary to break down my door?"

Draven just shrugged his shoulders.

Arabella sighed and the next moment her "Warp" spun. 

Whoosh.

A purple magic circle appeared next to the knocked door, where strange black hands, not at all like human ones, emerged from. It was a spell, reminiscent in some way of the one Marcel had used in the Auction House of the Erden Family.

The hands grabbed the door and slowly pushed it into the doorway. The next second they turned into a viscous liquid that headed for the damaged areas of the door.

Whoosh.

The black hands disappeared and the door was back in place.

Arabella looked at Evan and calmly said: "Well, I'm listening and what does our crazy winner want as a reward?"
