I made it, praise the earth! Ero shouted with joy and a happy face in front of her parents after reading a letter because she have just met the initial requirements of her long desired university and have been selected along with 1500 participants out of 100000 students to participate in the journey of her long desire university which is the Royal Echelon University of Broato.
This university is particularly different from the others because of its unique requirements for the entrance exam, in order to get into the university, participants have to go on a journey and write all of the remarkable events they participated in a diary or journal. While the requirement sound very simple, the events have to be remarkable or interesting to the examiner, another requirement for the journey is you must use echelons at least in 2/3 of the events participated. And in order to prove the events the participants participated in, they have to take a sample of proof from the event site. Usually, the time of the "journey" will be limited to 2 years, but the participants can finish the exam earlier than the time stated. After the test, only 500 out of 1500 participants will become the official students of the Royal university.
As for Ero, who had just graduated from Shera Echelon high school, had already thought of the journey before, since she graduated from Shera Echelon High school in the elven kingdom of Equoria, and the Echelon University of Broato is located in the city of Broato, the capital of the most powerful demonic empire, the Adbach Empire, it would take her approximately 2 years in order to get there with basic flying spell, the time was perfect, and there was an already discovered safe route so she intended to use the route in order to get to the university.
As she quickly discussed the matter with her parents while showing signs of happiness on her face, they quickly came to a realization: They don't have enough money to afford the fees of the university! Since this was a university intended for royals, the fee of the school was very high, it was an astonishing 600 Veldos per year, just for comparison their family would only make 10 Veldos per month and 3.5 Batos per week, which means their family only make 120 Veldos per year, that's 1/5 of the required fees they need, and they were a decent family, not poor but also not rich, so how could they afford the high amount of money? Borrow some from friends? Ero thought for a while until her father suddenly sighed.
"In truth, we have already speculated that you will be able to attend the university, so I along with your mother have been always saving up, until now, the savings have already reached 500 Veldos, we already knew that you had a saving that surpass 100 Veldos, I think now is the perfect time for you to go to university and especially the royal one in the capital of the Adbach Empire. Therefore, I will hand you over the money, once you pass the test and graduate, just remember to visit your old and humble parents".
"Ehhh?" Ero said with a surprise tone
Surprised by her parents, she quickly calmed down after a while. She was grateful for her parents worries and preparations, even though she wanted to decline the offer very much so that her parents could have money for their retirements, they persuaded her to the point that she finally received the money with a sigh and made a promise with them: She will return and visit them one day. And she thought that elves weren't consider that good at echelon so she should be proud to attend the university, so she went with it as the reason why she don't need to feel sad. Besides, it is still 1 week away from the date of the start of the journey. So, in the mean time she tried to have fun with her parents as much as possible while preparing her stuff and money before departing on her journey.
…
It has been 7 days since the letter arrived, today is the most special day in ero's life when Ero will depart on a hopefully beautiful journey, after having breakfast with her parents and have a talk with them, she greets her parents before departing, the sadness in her was growing, but she hold back her sadness in order to make her parents proud, she hugs her parents and says goodbye to them. Then, she officially departs on a journey from the city of Aeros to her destination at the capital of the Adbach Empire, the city of Broato, also known as the city of sages. Will the journey go into history? Or will it be a disastrous one? She doesn't know, but what she knows is that, she will get into the university. Little did she know, this journey is:
A journey that will be "remembered".
A journey that will be in history.
A journey of the "great sage".
The journey of "mother"
