Earth's Greatest Magus

Apparently, getting back to Earth wouldn't be easy for Emery. Not only did he need to collect some merits, but he might also have to face the Cronos faction regarding Morgana's situation.

Even if Emery managed to find a way to smuggle her back using the Khaos Gate, Morgana would forever be unable to freely travel between the Magus universe and Earth without a proper permit.

Emery realized that he might need to pull some favors to make this happen. Perhaps with Morgana being a half-blood, Zodiac City could potentially help them navigate through the complexities of the situation. He made a mental note to reach out to the contacts he had established in the half-blood city and see if they could provide any assistance.

However, before dealing with those matters, Emery had another important place to visit.

It was probably the most significant planet in the entire sector, a restricted area accessible only to the privileged and hopefully Emery can get access to enter.

Approaching the teleportation portal, Emery stated his destination, "Hyperion planet."

The guard stationed at the portal requested identification, and Emery handed over his identity card. The guard scrutinized it for a moment before confirming,

"Yes, you are allowed to enter." Emery felt a sense of relief wash over him as he realized that his privileged status from his time at the Magus Academy still held some weight.

The Hyperion planet was renowned for its connection to the Magus Academy and its privileged acolytes. Despite the academy's closure, the planet still housed numerous esteemed magus from all walks of life.

Stepping through the teleportation gate, Emery found himself transported to a massive construct in space, the gateway to the Hyperion planet. However, his journey was not yet complete. He was stopped once again for a second check-up, despite having the proper clearance.

This time, Emery found himself facing the guard captain, a stern-looking figure with an air of authority. Emery took a deep breath and stated his purpose,

"I am here to collect my Academy contribution points and rewards." The captain's expression softened slightly upon hearing Emery's words.

"Yes, I remember you... you did really well at the tournament," the captain acknowledged a glimmer of recognition in his eyes. Emery felt a surge of pride at the captain's praise.

"You may enter," the captain finally declared. "There will be someone at the Hyperion center who can help you with your inquiries." Emery nodded gratefully, thanking the captain for his assistance. He glanced at Morgana, relieved that she was allowed to accompany him on this journey.

Both Emery and Morgana entered the prepared round construct, a transport vessel specifically designed to ferry visitors to the Hyperion planet. The construct began its descent through a long tube, gradually descending toward the planet's surface. Emery watched through the glass as the yellow planet came into view.

As he gazed upon the planet, memories began to resurface within Emery's mind.

He felt a strange sense of familiarity as if he was forgetting something, or someone important. Yet, try as he might, he couldn't quite grasp the details of those memories.

"Who.. what is it?"

One image, in particular, stood out—a group of small, plant-like creatures. Emery suddenly remembered the Spirit cave he had on the planet and the dozens of these creatures he left there.

"Twik!"

Emery's sudden shout startled Morgana, who looked at him with concern. Emery's excitement couldn't be contained. He wasn't sure if Twik and the others were still there, but he held onto the hope that they were.

Minutes later, the construct arrived at the Hyperion center, and Emery wasted no time rushing out into the open air. He was determined to find his way to the Spirit Cave and reunite with the creatures he had left behind.

"Where is it... remember!"

Morgana followed closely behind, her curiosity piqued by Emery's enthusiasm.

At this moment, A figure approached them, a pink-haired female filled with excitement. "My favorite acolyte is finally here!" she exclaimed.

However, Emery's mind was solely focused on his little plant creatures. Didnt hear the woman;s greeting, he activated his [Light Wing] ability and took off in a flight, heading in the direction of the cave. Morgana hurriedly followed suit, struggling to keep up with Emery's speed.

The pink hair woman was surprised as she called out, "What... wait!" she said before she quickly took out a device and flew in the chase.

"What happened Emery?" Morgana asks while flying close to him

"Just follow me, I'll show you!" Emery said with excitement on his face.

Emery's mind was consumed with images of his beloved little buddies. He couldn't wait any longer to see them again. He increased his speed, determined to reach the Spirit cave as quickly as possible.

After half an hour of soaring through the skies, Emery finally arrived at the familiar island. Without hesitation, he dashed toward the cave located on the hill and entered its depths.

However, as Emery stepped inside, a sense of unease washed over him. There was no trace of life or energy within the cave. In fact, It seemed to have remained untouched for years.

Disappointment and worry flooded Emery's heart, and Morgana could sense his emotions. She reached out and held his hand, offering comfort. "Whoever you're looking for, I'm sure they are fine," she assured him, her voice filled with empathy.

Emery managed a smile, grateful for Morgana's support. He realized that the Hyperion planet was one of the most secure places in the Magus Alliance. Surely, someone must know where his little plant creatures had gone.

Determined to find answers, Emery turned around, only to notice that someone had been following him all along.

The pink-haired woman, Magus Ramora, his guide on the planet, approached with a frown.

"Is that how you treat your senior?" she chided him lightly.

Emery's eagerness to find his plant creatures took precedence over social niceties. He interrupted Ramora, blurting out, "Senior, do you know where my plant creatures are?"

Ramora sighed heavily, clearly exasperated by Emery's impatience. "That's why you should let me finish first... yes, I know where they are. I'll take you to them," she finally responded, her tone tinged with annoyance.

Emery's eyes lit up believed that he would soon be reunited with his cherished plant creatures.

With Ramora leading the way, Emery and Morgana followed her through the Hyperion planet, toward one of the special islands filled with lush green. To his surprise, Ramona actually leads him to meet the new caretaker of the Hyperion planet.

"He must be happy to see you too," said Ramora with a smile

"He? Who is he?"
