The Greatest Sinner

"Draven, I know where your house is, but where are your office and the lab?" Asked Evan.

Draven quickly replied: "My study is on the fifth floor, the lab is on one of the underground floors, but students aren't allowed in there. If you need me, just ask in the lobby on the first floor at the assignment desk. Most of the time they know where I am."

Draven continued: "In general, there's a lot of interesting stuff on the first floor. There's a bulletin board and class schedule, a map of the Academy, as well as training rooms, arenas, and special rooms for "Creation."

"By the way, how do the classes at the Academy work? Do I have to attend them as it says on the schedule?" To be honest, Evan didn't plan to take all the classes regularly, but only those classes he would be interested in. The young man thought the library and Draven would be far better than dozens of teachers.

"Well, you don't have to take classes unless you want to. Your main goal is to reach "One- pointed Star" in three years, the way is not important."  Draven calmly replied. 

"I see, thank you, then, I will go to the first floor." Said Evan calmly.

"Wait a minute." Suddenly Draven stopped him.

"Evan, you have to understand something about teachers- they're magicians, which means they can leave from the Academy. They stay here because it either benefits them or because they want it."

Evan nodded. <Leave the Academy...> Evan thought and remembered something else.

"Draven, do you know where I can buy a potion or some kind of pill to cure serious wounds of a zero-ranked beast?" Evan was talking about the one-eyed raven that had saved him in the "Half-Dead Forest." The raven was a monster, but Evan decided it wasn't worth saying that.

"Hmm? Why would you want to do that? Do you want to be friends with some kind of beast? Well, okay, it's not that big of a deal. There are such potions and quite a few of them, you can find them in any alchemy store in each of the three zones".

"Thanks." Evan nodded and headed for the first floor.

At the moment he had several things to do that he wanted to get done as quickly as possible.

First, he needed to rent a house, but before he did, he had to look at the class schedule. Perhaps, some classes would interest him and he would want to attend them.

<It seems that my wish was a little rash...>. Evan thought as he walked to the first floor filled with dozens of students.

Every one of them was staring at him, for Evan was the only one not wearing a mantle. Evan didn't care about their stares, but when you had that many people staring at you, it's just impossible to ignore it.

So far, only the students who had been at the ceremony were aware of Evan's unusual request. It would take some time before the word of this would spread throughout the Academy.

Evan took his time walking over to the class board and quickly found his class on the list. To Evan's surprise, there were a huge number of different classes there. They were divided not only by letters but also by years of study.

<Hmm, first lessons will be only in a week ...>. Evan thought as he looked at the class schedule.

He had expected the first classes to be the day after the entrance ceremony, but he was wrong.

<Well, there's a certain logic to it. New students need time to settle in, find their housing, and learn more about the city and the Academy. Um, the first classes are all about how to "Create" and collect mana from the environment. Better to ask Draven about it than to waste extra time.> Evan thought and quickly walked out of the Academy.

Evan had been to the city once before, but that day he was in a hurry for his entrance exam, so he didn't have time to look around properly and walk around the city streets.

Evan didn't stop in the first or second zone, he would still have time to go back there. He needed to find a house and an alchemy store in the third zone.

The zones were large, but Evan got to the right place fairly quickly. He made his way down the stairs separating one zone from the other and ended up in the third zone.

<The third zone is the cheapest place in this town, but I wouldn't say that people here are discontent or suffer from a lack of something.> Evan thought to himself as he looked at the people passing by.

Each zone was quite different from the other. Passing by the first zone Evan saw a large number of magicians and people dressed in luxurious clothes. The streets were perfectly clean and the buildings were made of the finest materials and designed by talented architects.

The infrastructure got worse with each zone, but even in the third zone, there was no dirt on the streets or ruin. The people looked neat and were dressed, albeit in simple clothes, but made of quality materials.

This was no surprise, though. "The Last Moon" was one of the strongest, and therefore the richest Academies of Magic in the entire "Kingdom of Fallen Hopes." For the same reason, only magicians and people who were allowed to stay here could live in this city. Every person knew his business here and did not cause trouble for anyone.

< The magicians are walking here all the time, but no one is surprised, it seems that magicians are commonplace here.> Evan thought to himself as he looked at the few magicians passing by the common people.

Even in Mossy Vulture that was home to a large number of magicians, some people continued to look at them with wonder. In "The Last Moon" the magicians lived side by side with ordinary people.

Of course, magicians and commoners were not equal, there was social inequality between them. Despite this, magicians and humans could coexist peacefully without problems.

While walking through the streets of the city Evan was thinking about what kind of house he wanted. The previous house in Mossy Vulture was completely convenient for him, but Evan realized there were much better options.

<Hmm, maybe I need the simplest house possible. On the first floor of the Academy, there are training areas and rooms for "Creation". All I need is a few spacious rooms and a large underground floor.>

Evan originally wanted to rent the best house he could afford, but some time later, he changed his mind.

  Now he was walking around the streets, where some of the houses were for rent. After about thirty minutes, Evan found a suitable option. It was a one-story stone house with a red tile roof and a small but very nice veranda. The house itself and the area around it were not very large, but it was more than enough for one person.

Evan quickly read the ad, and after he learned that there was another floor under the house he immediately decided to take it.

Last time Evan had waited for the person in charge of renting the house, but this time the landlord was right there. It was an old man in a vest and a plain white shirt. He was drinking tea and admiring the small garden in front of the veranda.
