Conquering The Game's World

65  The Oracle!

The Oracle Academy, also known as the Five Heroes Academy. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was founded by the five great heroes of different races after the Great War, 45 years ago. This academy was founded because of the prophecy made by the Great Prophet after the Great War that in the future, the chosen one will appear, who will lead a group of powerful companions and be the light that will save the doomed future of this world.

The prophecy said that in the near future, many catastrophes and disasters will befall Alnaur that will lead humanity to the brink of extinction. And only the one chosen by the world can save the future. That's why the five great heroes founded this academy in the hopes of training the future generation to ensure the survival of this world.

After that, time went on, and a peaceful era started. Neither the prophesied catastrophes came, nor did the chosen one. But the Oracle Academy stood tall as the number one Academy in Alnaur, training countless powerhouses and becoming the important pillar that supported this world's strength.

Now it has become the symbol of peace, prosperity and strength between the five races.

The days went by, and in the blink of an eye, only two days were left before the start of the entrance examination.

Using the Transport Circle, Luis and Alicia, along with Lumine, arrived at Tuxel City, the border city of the Aiverson Empire. It has the second-largest port in the entire Aiverson Empire and is a hub for many shipyards and fishing industries.

50 km north of Tuxel is the border of the Elven Kingdom, Esperia. And 20 Nautical Miles away from the waters of Tuxel City is the Archipelago where the Oracle Academy exists. Which is also today's destination for the trio.

Coming out of the transport junction. Lumine stretched out her arms, then took a deep breath and smiled in satisfaction.

"Ahh~ The sea breeze and this humid, salty air mixed with a light fishy smell. It's so refreshing~"

Turning to look at Luis and Alicia behind her, she asked. "Do you guys want to try some seafood?"

"I'm up for it!" Alicia replied instantly and then, scratching Ivy's fur, she asked. "What about you Ivy?"

*Kyu~*

Ivy let out a cute sound while snuggling closer to Alicia's cheek.

"She said yes." Alicia nodded understandingly.

Luis was amused by Alicia's and Ivy's interaction.

'Does Ivy even know what a seafood is?' But he was not stupid enough to dampen the mood by angering Alicia and asking such questions.

Lumine smiled satisfyingly, looking at her future daughter-in-law. Then her eyes shifted to Luis.

"What about you, Luis?"

"I'm fine with anything."

To be honest, he was also very much interested in this world's seafood culture. From the memory of the previous Luis, he knew that there were some similar seafood cuisines from his previous world. But he hadn't had a chance to taste them yet, so he wasn't quite sure if they were similar. Or just have the same names.

*Clap*

Getting everyone's affirmation. Lumine said while clapping her hands.

"Then, it's settled. We will first have our lunch and then we will take our boat for the Archipelago."

While taking a ride to the best seafood restaurant recommended by Lily. They came across a Fish Market. Thinking that Luis and Alicia might be a little interested, Lumine asked. "Do you guys want to check out the Fish Market first?"

Even if she had an appetite for some seafood, not long before she had her breakfast. So, she suggested going to the Fish Market.

Alicia looked over in the direction of the Fish Market and nodded with an 'Um'.

Seeing her nod, Luis also gave his acquiescence. "Well… there's still time before lunch, so it's not a bad idea to tour around a little."

Lumine nodded, agreeing with his words. "In that case, let's stop here for a while."

As soon as the trio entered the Fish Market, their eyes were attracted by the large variety of sea creatures present there. When Luis' eyes moved around from shop to shop, he saw many interesting fish and sea creatures. Such as the three-eyed fishes, some with big horns, a few with tusks like elephants and stripped bodies like tigers, and many more.

What attracted his attention the most was that all the fish were quite huge. He also saw octopuses, squids, lobsters, crabs, and shrimps, which seemed no different from his previous world. As for their taste, he wasn't sure.

However, he couldn't help but scrunch his face when he saw a weird sea creature that made him lose his appetite from its mere sight.

But what made him more speechless was that the customers waited in line to get it, and they seemed quite excited about buying those things. Their eyes were shining, and from their looks, they couldn't wait to eat it.

Seeing their reactions, although he was a little curious about the taste. But his curiosity wasn't enough for him to let go of his disgust.

"Is that a Sea monster?" Alicia asked with a frown on her face.

It did not surprise Lumine when she saw them react like this. Instead, she had expected it. When she saw that creature for the first time, her reaction was also the same.

"It's an Angler Blob," Luis said with an unnatural expression on his face. "It's the most common G Grade Sea Monster near Tuxel City."

Alicia nodded strangely when she heard the monster's name. It seems that she had also heard of it. But Luis' latter sentence made her think of something as she asked with interest, "Is there a sea dungeon nearby?"

Before Luis could answer, Lumine said with a thoughtful expression. "There are some. But only a few low-rank dungeons. So, there's no danger."

Then, while shrugging her shoulders, she said.

"Anyway, you will get to experience the sea dungeons during your academy."

"So, forget about them for now, okay?"

Hearing this, Alicia nodded in understanding. But neither of them noticed the change in Luis' expression at the mention of Sea Dungeon, which returned to normal the next moment.
