Chapter 184: The Mansion Will Be Protected By Us!

"The outer disciples aren't all belonging to those inner disciples," Rick said with a big laugh.

"Some thought to come and test waters first," Kro explained, "but I believe they will all be shocked."

"There is also another surprise," Deno said.

"What?"

"It's the masters… you should go down there and see for yourself," Saga said with an interesting look over her face, "I bet you'll be shocked."

"Damn!" This time he was shocked by the appearance of more masters. He thought he could keep the secrecy of that place hidden, but no more.

If Rana could tell from mere words, what about other masters when entering inside that place?

"Lead the way," he sighed before following the laughing team as they descended to the lower floor.

There he found a strange gathering that resembled what was in the early hours of the morning. "All of them… damn!" he cursed and others mistook his words as being surprised by the big number of masters here.

"Finally you decided to come," Rana moved to welcome him with a big laugh, "they all persisted to come," she pointed around in pride as if she did a great help to him.

"We would stay here and defend this mansion," yet Mark suddenly stepped forward and said, "this place is turning into one of the most important places for the inner campus."

Jim suddenly realized something. "Do they plan to attack here? Isn't it protected by the rules of the academy?"

"They are bound by the rules," Igory appeared, "but they can still send disciples to cause trouble. You don't know how dirty those folks are."

"We already got news about such plans," the griffin potion master said.

"They plan to hit this mansion tonight," Mark said in a serious tone, "and we are here to prevent any disciple from coming in."

"But I'll be there with you," Rana said as she turned to glance at Mark in warning.

"Sigh, alright you and Igory will lead the protection inside that secret place," Mark said and Jim knew everyone here bought the lie he said before.

They thought the hidden room was connected to this mansion, and so they decided to move in such grand appearance to defend the mansion.

And he felt more at ease. "Alright, can we let the disciples in?" he said.

"You should be ready for any hidden actions from them," Mark warned, "they can buy anyone easily and let him turn against you."

"I can handle that," Jim simply said, "just try to keep the mansion standing."

"Leave it to me," Mark said and all the masters here nodded as well.

'They bought it pretty well,' Jim couldn't help but inwardly laugh while seeing their reactions.

Jim watched them move and surround the mansion in layers while the disciples started to get in.

"How can we get in there," Rana was more excited than Jim himself and he knew the reason behind that. The memory of last night was still fresh in his mind, and her sexy words and moves kept jumping in his mind each time he saw her.

"This way," he said while moving towards one wall before adding, "it's there."

"Hmm…" Rana moved to check the wall with Mark and Igory. The three were interested like all others with this secret place, and seemed more interested in the fact it was attached to one of the inner campus mansions.

"I can't feel anything," Mark muttered and Rana nodded while Igory stole a glance full of doubt towards Jim.

Jim calmly smiled before taking out his token and pressed hard on it. the next moment the token flew free before it shone a bright light over the wall.

And then a door magically appeared there.

"If not for that dragon's madness, I would have come with you," Mark said in regret.

"So the door needs a key… that's quite new for me," Rana muttered, while Igory smiled and said nothing.

'He knows something,' Jim could easily deduct that from the mere looks of Igory towards him and his strange calmness.

'But he won't say a word for now at least,' the old man said, 'and I doubt he would tell anyone later on.'

'I hope so.'

'Even if he said, no one can use the token but you,' the old man laughed, 'that place is only linked to you and without your permission, no one can even get near its door.'

Jim knew his old man was right, but he hoped things wouldn't get this far. "Let's enter," he said while taking his orb and added, "I hope the space inside would be sufficient for all."

The three masters moved aside while he went and opened the door. Then Rana and Igory followed before the rest of the team entered with everyone else lining behind in one long line.

"This…"

The moment Jim entered, he heard the exclamation of Rana. "This is just like Mark's class."

"It's still larger," Igory said and Jim noticed the place became more spacious as if it had expanded since the last time he was here.

'What's going on?' he couldn't help but inwardly wonder.

'The room is adapting to the incoming disciples,' the old man said, 'don't be surprised, it has its own intelligence.'

'I hope it can help us get stronger,' he sighed, 'like manipulating time or something.'

He still was annoyed by the time difference between his special zone and his real world. If it could help in that, then he would see this place as a gold mine.

'I doubt it can do that,' the old man smashed all the dreams he had, 'but you can try and see.'

'I'll definitely try,' he then stepped forward towards the two masters, "What do you think? Isn't it great?"

"It's really a good place to train," Rana said, "even slightly better than the rooms I entered so far."

"I agree with that," Igory muttered, "the density and quality of magic here is far beyond the outside world. I doubt I saw anything like it before except in those sacred rooms I read about once."
