Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 581  Into The Academy, We Go - 2

Soon, the left swans floated gracefully into the waters below. "So this is it…" Old Bho muttered, feeling his entire body vibrate in awe. So this is where his friends have been all these past months. Old Gia… Old Ghu… all of them were here, growing strong in this mystical world. Several people clenched their fists to hold on their shock when recalling the sight they took in while floating down towards the waters. Floating islands, rocks that moved midair, magical waters, birds that looked mythical, pink waterfalls that flowed backwards… It was all too breathtaking. What was even more shocking was that the land seemed so endless and so fast, as though it wasn't an island as they were told earlier. In short, such a large place could no longer be called an island. Why did it seem like it might be the size of half a country now? Perhaps their thinking was wrong, but it was too vast for anyone to truly comprehend. Across the many portals around the world, some people found themselves falling at incredible heights, others found themselves underwater, but were quickly taken up to the shores by the giant sea creatures that almost gave them heart attacks. And then, some found they appeared on boats, already on their way to the shores. There were over 12 ways they emerged, and many had already felt the thrill of adventure overwhelming their hearts. Far in Vardos Country, Wiggins and his gang had just poked their noses out of the water, and were now seated on the backs of what looked like a long dragon-fish with the tail of an eel, except only spikier. Back on Kletus's side, after all the falling, had found themselves on the leafy ducks, Butler Sheng appeared, standing on the water's surface without sinking down. "Everyone, this is where my journey with you ends." Eh? Why was it ending? Several people suddenly panicked. "You will be taken halfway through your journey by the swans. Once the swans travel no more, you will traverse through the purple fields, and follow the laughing birds until you reach a place called the Resting Stone Valley." Butler Sheng spoke without rush, and everyone absorbed his words, as though cranking last-minute information before an exam. "There at the Resting Stone Valley, you must hop on a floating stone of your choice, and now, follow the whistling bird until you reach the Academy's grounds."

Then, Butler Sheng's entire demeanor changed, as he scanned the crowd with cold eyes. "I would advise that you all arrive at the academy's grounds by 7 PM... for those of you who do not wish to die the most gruesome death." "_" [Everyone]

… Whoosh! With that, Butler Sheng vanished. The word to the wise was enough.

After 7 PM, the enchantments guiding them would vanish, and the many creatures in the academy's vast lands would also grow even more restless than they are during the day. With that, Butler Sheng was gone, leaving everyone dumbfounded behind belief. However, they didn't have much time to think about it, because 1 second later, the leafy swan-boats now kicked their feet underwater, sailing onwards towards the shores. "Look! Look! Look! The waters here are mirror-like!" "Ahh! What sort of magical water is this? Is even clearer than my mirror at home." "No way! What sort of sea animal is that with horns and a mane like a lion's?"

Whoosh! Everyone was mesmerized when watching several creatures jump out of the waters from time to time. Beautiful. They have never seen such beautiful creatures, some with wings, some with horns, others with 4 heads, you name it. "Is that a Bread fish?"

Well, they called it bread fish since it truly looked like 2 slices of bread joined together on a stick. Soon, they saw the strange fish not only jump out of the waters, but also flying in the air around them. Well, their hearts could never get enough of their surroundings.

"Eh? Why does it feel like the trees ahead are unnaturally too tall? Oops… Look at where I am. Is anything here natural at all?"

Indeed, nothing was natural here. They found that all jokes aside, even the bushes ahead were the heights of 1 story buildings. So imagine how towering the trees were the closer they sailed. .

Tch– Once again, they felt that this must be what ants and other insects feel when glancing at the word all around them. Just look at the leaf pinkish-greenish ahead? They swore they could slide on a single leaf, as though they were in the land of giants. Everything was just so BIG. But just when they thought these swans would drop them off there, the leafy swans suddenly extended their wings, and soon… they found that they were now ascending! What?... What's going on now? "Everyone, hang on! We're going up!!" Someone bellowed, causing everyone to hold onto the railings with all their might. What? Were going up again? They held on for their dear lives when foreseeing the speed these swans were about to take. However, it seemed physics still refused to play along.

No heavy air drafts pushing them back, no objects flying in their faces… Well, it all seemed as calm as before, despite the incredulous speed these swans were going. "So calm?" Officer Macy began doubting once more whether Science was truly a real thing or an illusionary matter. How come she is still standing tall right now? She shifted to the right, then shifted to the left, shifted backwards and then forward, but she magically felt no draft pushing her back. ~Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The swans flew through the giant trees, twisting and turning across the enormous forest that seemed to belong to giants. Oh My God of Science! They found that although they weren't thrown out, they were still woozy, feeling like throwing up from all the crazy movements. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Luckily, the left swans seem to have found their consciences, taking them higher and higher until they escaped the forest. And now, they were traveling through the vast lands once more, from high up at a bird's eye view. But this didn't diminish the land's beauty at all.
