Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

After chatting for a while, Vincent learned about the membership level within the Black Tower.

There was a total of six levels and each of them represents a color. From the lowest, there is a Gray Emblem followed by Yellow, Blue, Red, Purple, and Black.

Once you reached 13 years old, you can get a chance to study within the tower's academy where you can learn various things. If you performed well during your stay, you are guaranteed to be an official member with a Gray Emblem even without any recommendation.

However, this is only an opportunity available for 13 to 18 years old that could pass their preliminary examinations.

As for Vincent's situation, he needed a recommendation so he won't have to study in the academy for the next three years. That's right, it is a shortcut for membership.

As long as he has a good result in the competition that would happen in the next two months, he could easily get a Gray Emblem and earn the benefits of becoming a member.

Turhan, on the other hand, is already a Red Emblem and he could have a few apprentices that will be allowed to access limited resources within the tower. It means that Ayla may be a member of the Black Tower but she is tied to Professor Turhan.

After learning this, Vincent got curious about whether Ayla can still be an official member.

Fortunately, there is also a chance given to them after completing their apprenticeship for 5 to 8 years.

He also learned about the various benefits that members could get within the Black Tower. It didn't take long for Turhan to explain all of them as he even seem to be delighted while explaining all the benefits that the Tower could give him.

With this, Vincent was finally able to have a clear picture of the Black Tower organization.

He still has other questions related to the Celestial Beings and the enemy of the human race. However, they were things that he would supposedly know within the academy for the next two months.

"Vincent, I don't have a permanent house in the First Tower. The price of the land there is quite steep. I can only afford the palaces in cities like Fifth Tower. In short, you have to get your own place there to settle Tara and the others."

"That's true… I wonder if I can purchase land or a house there?"

"Of course, you can. However, it wouldn't be as grand as my palace…"

"Ugh… I have no intention to purchase something this grand, Professor Turhan. There's no way I can afford this luxury."

"That's true… Anyway, there are still many houses that you can probably afford located at the edges of the city. They were quite cheap since if there is an attack from the Magic Beasts, the ones at the borders would be the first ones to get smashed… Haha!" Turhan said jokingly.

The First Tower has the strongest defense after all. If there are any attacks from Magic Beasts, it would be immediately settled even before the citizens could see their shadows.

Furthermore, the hunters living there would always have a clean-up operation within the vicinity of the city.

"That Professor really just left us alone, huh… I guess he trusts you that much." Yulia muttered as they headed towards the First Tower city.

They were currently on a passenger floating ship that is heading to the First Tower. Based on what the attendants said, they would arrive in the city in just less than five hours. It wouldn't even be that long if not for the storm that they have to avoid.

Vincent agreed with Yulia's words.

"Yes… He already arranged everything. I have the recommendation and he also informed the Professor of the Arcane Mysteries to take care of me. We'll probably hear from him after the competition in the next two months."

"I wonder if we could find a good place there…" Severin muttered referring to the city.

The three of them are currently relaxing on the main deck of the floating ship. This ship isn't as big as the previous Cruise-Type Floating Mystic Ship so the cabin assigned to them was quite small.

This passenger ship can only carry about 300 people with a very limited weight after all.

Since they weren't tired and the trip wouldn't be that long, they decided to just stay at the main deck unless there is a need to go inside.

The first thing they have to do once they arrived in the city is to find a place to live. Since the three of them will be working together from now on, they will obviously contribute to the acquisition of their new place.

Severin wanted a research room while Yulia wanted a training ground as she was hoping to master her Darkness Mystic Eye.

As for Tara and Rem, what they needed is Vincent's potion. They even stayed at the cabin today to digest the tens of potions that he enhanced for them.

"Whoa~ Are you guys new around here?"

As Vincent and the other two were chatting, a group of young men approached them…

There are three young men and two young ladies between the ages of 15 to 20. The one who spoke just now was a blond young man who seem to be the leader of the group as he looked intensely at Yulia's graceful figure for a brief moment.

"Oh? You can tell if we're new here? Do you know everyone in Black Tower?" Severin answered with an amused tone.

"Haha! Of course not. I just realized it by the way you guys dress. That kind of coat and dress without any amplification of magic tools weren't common around here…"

The young man paused as he looked at Vincent before he continued. "All people here were always carrying weapons since showing weakness is like you're telling people that you wanted to get robbed."

"Hmm? So are you planning to rob us?" Severin asked.

"Haha! No way… I'm just here to remind you since I saw a group of people observing your small group. I'm sure that once we docked, those guys would follow you. Don't blame me if you get robbed." The young man said as he left the three.

Severin only nodded as the three of them already noticed this without him telling. Anyway, this man seems to be a good person despite his unruly appearance.

He doesn't seem to be lying with the way he speaks and although he was probably enchanted by Yulia's appearance, he didn't dwell on it for long and shifted his gaze.

"What's your name?" Vincent asked curiously.

"I'm Azer, the future hero of mankind!"
