A whole week passed when Lander, Grey and Spot was still digging up until they dug out a medium sized cave that resembled a hallway from the hill they were digging up.

Lander wasn't fascinated by this finding but he has to explore it to check that it was safe for staying. He looked every spots, touched everything while pushing them thinking that it has a secret door but didn't find anything. He was also curious if this place could only be opened by magic. Unfortunately, he guessed wrong as this place was just a recent discovery by him.

Lander thought for a while, "Why don't I make this my home here then?"

The entrance to the cave was well-hidden but it could be discovered with a closer look so he designed it in a way that only him could know.

The dug out hill was turned into a simple kitchen. The backyard was also turned into a practice ground for martial arts, swords, archery and magic.

After all those were finished, Lander dug a six feet hole on the ground with a width of 10 feet wide and using bamboos, he filled it with water.

The next thing he did was creating a garden, planting the things he could use as ingredients.

When he saw the improvements he did on his so-called home, he was satisfied.

Although, he did all of those. He never stopped practicing his martial arts and meditation. He also run for two hours accompanied by Grey and Spot. He would also train his archery skills, sword fighting and further study magic.

A whole month passed and Lander planned to go back to the Academy to steal books from the library. When he got there, he was greeted by Crude who wore a smuggling face, "Who do we have here?"

Lander didn't care about him as he moved towards the library but Crude and his lackeys followed him. They were insulting him on the way saying rude words to bully him. He acted like he's not hearing anything.

Entering the library, an attendant told him that students can only enter the library if they have a pass. Lander didn't knew about that as he heard a ridicule from Crude, "He's not just an outcast but stupid at the same time!"

"Yeah! How could he not know about that rule?"

"Simply because he is stupid!"

Lander walked away as he passed by the guarded entrance to somewhere. He stopped his tracks and rushed forward the entrance, with his agility, he was able to enter.

The guard students were caught off guard as they didn't have the time to block him, "Report this to the professors that the outcast entered the forbidden entrance!"

Even Crude was scared witless when he saw that Lander entered the forbidden entrance as he knew that this entrance stationed a very powerful spirit with a high ranking demon.

Lander who knew nothing about the place continued on his track slowly. The further he moved, the more it became darker and the more he felt a terrifying instinct. But he was still brave enough to know what was in this place.

Suddenly, he could feel a very terrorizing aura that was invading his soul. He shivered and wanted to go back when he heard a woman wailing, "Help me! I can't hold on any longer!"

Hearing that, Lander gritted his teeth and mustered all his courage as he slowly continued on his track.

Outside the forbidden entrance, Professor Dimitri along with the other professors were discussing how to deal with this while the students were gossiping with each other.

"He will surely die and we will only incur the wrath of his master!" Professor Dimitri said worried.

"Master? That outcast has a master?" Professor Vlad asked as he knew little things about Lander. He hasn't also tried his dishes as he wasn't that interested when learning that they were visiting their outcast student. He despised the outcasts to the core.

"You don't know? The Great Duke Bobby was his Master," Professor Dimitri answered.

Upon hearing that, Professor Vlad shivered and glared at Crude who was also shivering in fear together with his lackeys, "Shit!"

"What shall we do?" Professor Willow was also worried as she stared at the forbidden entrance.

"I'll go in and try to persuade him if he hasn't reached the iron door yet," Professor Finn declared with a resolute expression.

"Wait, you do know what's inside don't you?" Professor Dimitri asked.

"I'm aware of that Professor but we don't have a choice. Great Duke's Bobby's wrath and at the same time a powerful demon to be released or we have to stop both?" Professor Finn said as he entered. Actually, this professor has another agenda in entering the place. That was to capture the powerful spirit and using magic, he would devour it's essence to make his magic power be promoted to Grand Master Ranger. He doesn't care if he released the demon as he was only thinking his self.

The aura was becoming more intense as Lander advanced. He was sweating intensely and breathing heavily. He stopped on his tracks and retreated, he couldn't continue anymore and has to adjust himself before advancing again.

He was about to meditate when he saw Professor Finn. Lander just nodded his head at the professor but he was ignored as Professor Finn advanced.

Lander meditated and started advancing again. He was adjusting himself to the aura and would always retreat to meditate. This scene happened a thousand times but Lander persevered as he took it as a training.

A day passed by and Lander hasn't arrived yet at his destination. Another day passed when Lander could already walk normally without sweating and reached the iron gate that was already opened, he was about to go inside when he heard a scream, "AAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!"

At the entrance of the forbidden entrance, the people heard the scream and was instantly became more worried, "Professors, we shall all go except you Professor Willow, you have to contact the Emperor at once and tell them what was happening."

"But..." Professor Willow was about to say something when he was interrupted, "No buts, I will personally take things on my hand."

Seeing the eagerness of Professor Willow to enter the Forbidden Entrance, Professor Vlad smiled as he was really scared to accompany the Vice-Head Professor, "Why don't I do that instead while Professor Willow accompany you?"

"I agree!" Professor Willow smiled sweetly and entered without hearing again the opinion of Professor Dimitri.

Professor Dimitri shook his head as he followed her. One by one, five more professors entered making them seven.

Lander entered and was stunned to see a very wide room. In the middle of it was a stunning spirit that was floating in the air while a giant devil was facing her. The spirit woman has these magical chains that was wrapped around the devil bounding it. He was too focused on the spirit woman as she looked familiar and didn't even notice the arrival of the professors.

"Professor Finn, what are you doing?" Professor Dimitri was scared witless upon seeing the action of Professor Finn.
