"Today is your rest day, go and do whatever you want. I do not want to see you training or doing something similar. You worked very hard for the last week and I am proud to see your achievements, but you are still young, and you need to socialize with others. Go now!"
They were really exhausted after this week, but they were accustomed to being exhausted the whole time. So, they did not mind at all. As they came today and presented what they achieved, they were expecting the next round of training, but this free day came to abruptly and they did not know what to do.
They were also new in the city and they did not know anything and anyone.
Then Noah came up with an idea as they left the office of Principal Black. He remembered the talk they had as they came the first time to the academy. The story about the first emperor and the founder of the academy was too interesting for him. One of the things he ever wanted since he was young was to go in a treasure hunt and he thought that maybe this was a chance to begin one.
"hey, what about we search the treasure of the first emperor. Maybe the treasure is real, and nobody was sufficient good to find it before. Let us try and we do not have anything to do anyways."
David replied:
"Do you really believe in this legend? This is stupid, nobody ever found even a clue about the treasure and even if they found something, they never shared it. We can go and eat in a restaurant."
Sabrina was completely the opposite of David:
"Treasure Hunt? Let us go and find it!"
Then she continued:
"David, sometimes I doubt if you really are my twin brother. How can you be so pessimist?"
David was speechless as he heard what she said, he wanted to reply but he did not know what to reply.
Max and Noah were looking at this pair of twins and laughed, they both were like a couple of comedians.
"Honey do not tease him. Hahaha."
"Max, even if you married her, you cannot laugh at me!"
Noah commented:
"Somebody is molested, we are in trouble."
���Alright, let us find this treasure. If you all are so excited to find it, then let us do it."
Finally, David also accepted to hunt the treasure with them.
"Perfect, let us go!"
They all then went to the center of the academy, then they did not know where they should begin to search.
From the middle of the academy ground you could go to any building, because they all surrounded it. In the middle was a rest and gather place for the student and instructors. There were benches, tables, place for picnics and a lot of trees.
"This academy is gigantic, where should we begin? I am confused." Said Max.
"I agree with you." Agreed David to max.
Noah began to think and then he asked:
"Do you know which type of character the first emperor was or something he said frequently?"
David and Sabrina began to think, because they were the only that knew the story of the first emperor.
Max also did not know anything, because he was from Rosal Empire.
After a time, David said:
"The emperor was a direct and honest man. I heard that he faced everything in the front and never liked schemes."
Then Sabrina complimented:
"He also says: 'A real man is who is honest and direct with his mouth and acts. If you want something, then begin from the beginning and do not try to use shorter ways.'. He always said this sentence to his loyal men and family."
Noah began to think and then he concluded:
Where is the beginning of the academy? If we use this method of thinking in our search for the treasure, I think we can succeed rapidly."
They also did not know, so they went to the entrance of the academy. Because the academy was surrounded by a big wall, which were a few meters high.
"This is the beginning of the academy. What can we find here?" Asked Sabrina curiously.
Then they began to look around the entrance. Everyone went to a different direction and they all looked for different things.
"Hey, I think I found something! Come quickly!" Shout Max.
He was looking to something in the wall. But this part was not only stones, then there was a metal piece incrusted in the wall.
"Look at this, this is something left by the emperor. I think this what we were searching for. Look at this strange line there. I do not think that something like this should be written in the entrance of the academy, then it has no meaning."
Noah looked at the line written in the metal and read it:
"Stand in the middle. Look the four doors. Find your way."
It was indeed strange. These sentences were confusing.
"This could be interpreted as a poem, that means that everyone should find his own way. But it can be a signalization to somewhere."
They nodded and thought what this could mean.
"What is the middle?" Thought Noah loudly. He tried to find out, but he could not find the solution.
David was also thinking and was very confused: "maybe he means a place with four doors in the academy. But I am not sure."
"Yes, maybe he is signalizing a place with four doors, but what does it mean 'Find your way'?"
Asked Max, he also found this mystery confusing.
"Max, you always have pen and paper with you. Can you write it please?" Asked Noah, he wanted to have it with him.
"I think we should try it later; we cannot find anything more for today. Maybe we find new clues in the academy, in this way we would only waste time." Said Noah, he knew that they would not find anything more for today.
"I agree, let us go to a restaurant!" Shout David happy. He wanted the whole time to eat and could not wait anymore.
