Elena and the 7 other talents made their way through the city. They had sneaked out of the main place, unseen by the different teachers that had accompanied them, and then went to the port.

When they arrived in the port, they couldn't help but be impressed by the sh.i.p.s. Elena smiled at the faces they were making and said "Follow me, Arthur is in that ship. We will sail toward Greenland. I hope none of you have sea sickness."

They regained their impassive face once again, although some were blushing in shame. A strong looking man was blocking their way to the bridge, as he said "Tickets?"

Elena nodded and took out seven tickets from her pocket. The man looked at them and nodded, stepping aside to let them on the boat.

As soon as they got out of earshot from the man, Liu Feng, the representative of Mahoutokoro, asked curiously "How did you know all of us would come?"

Elena smiled and said "I didn't." Then, the tickets in her hand suddenly faded away. They looked at her with wide eyes, and asked "How did you do that?"

Elena shook her head and replied "I did nothing. Arthur did. He is somewhere on the boat, and he used his magic to help us get on board."

Jessica asked "When will he show himself?" Elena smiled slyly and said "I don't know whether you are ready to see him. Does any of you practice mind arts?"

They all shook their heads, so Elena said "A pity for you." But inside, she was happy as it would make everything much more easier.

Elena told them "Come with me to the front of the boat. He will join us there."

The group walked toward the front, and once there they all sat down. After a minute of silence, they all suddenly felt a presence approaching. Downing on them.

They all looked up, and were met with the sight of Arthur flying down from the sky. But that wasn't the most noticeable thing. Behind him, stood a giant being.

Half of it represented the Holy version of Arthur, while the other half represented his Demonic version. Because none of them ever practiced mind arts, they felt very vulnerable. As if they were within his mercy, and that they could do nothing about it.

Arthur landed in the middle of the circle they had created when they sat down, and said with a smile "We finally meet."

But because none of them answered him, as they were all shocked by him, Arthur dispelled his Avatars. By the way, Arthur had named the giant versions of him the Holy Avatar and the Demonic Avatar.

Arthur had just tried to mix the two, to see how it would go, and was met with incredible results. Too incredible it seems as he was forced to dispel it. Of course it was because they were children who had never experienced much.

Any a.d.u.l.t wizard not too rusty wouldn't get stunned but only feel inferior or disturbed. Someone who practices mind arts would even be able to negate the Avatars influence on them.

Of course that is because the Avatars are a spell that Arthur is currently experimenting on. It is a spell he created on his own and that mixes various powers, so it would get better and better.

His ultimate goal is to create corporal Avatars, but that would be in the far future. If he could intensify and enhance the effects the Avatars have on the mind he would already be happy.

Arthur looked at all the faces of the geniuses from the different schools and eventually said "As Elena must have told you, we are sailing toward Greenland. I have discovered an ancient ruin over there that is unexplored. We will explore those ruins together and hopefully get something good out of it. Any question?"

Levina asked "How do we share the spoils?" Arthur looked at her and replied "Simple. The bet suited person gets the object. If it is a spell or a charm, everyone learns it. For other rewards, it will depend on your compatibility with it and the number of rewards you already got. Anyone has a problem with this way of sharing?"

Victor sneered "And I guess you are the one who will judge who will get the rewards?" Arthur nodded unashamed "There must be someone doing it. And I am the best suited. After all, I am the one who discovered the ruin, and I could have taken everything inside alone."

Fleur frowned "Then why did you take us with you if you are so good?" Arthur shook his head and said "Don't be short sighted. Everyone of you are the ones your school determined to be the most talented. So I can safely assume everyone of you will hold an important position in your governments in the future. So I invited you all to create bonds."

Liu Feng said "Why?" Arthur said "I have a goal. To unite the world. And I can't do that alone. The only way to do it alone would be to become a Dark Lord and reign tyrannically above everyone, but that would be boring, and it never ends well. I want to create a worldwide wizard union that would last through History."

Adelawe said "You have lofty goals. And correct me if I misunderstood, but you want us to be your subordinates?"

Arthur smiled "Yes and no. I plan on creating an organization. But I won't develop further on the subject for now, as it would be for naught. When we are done with the ruins I'll tell you everything. For now, enjoy the trip, and try to socialize with each other."

As he finished speaking Arthur faded away before any of them could speak a word. Victor looked at Elena and asked "Who do you think you are?!"

Elena shook her head and said "I think you are all misunderstanding something here. Arthur and I may have come from the same school, here I don't have any kind of special status, I'm the same as you all in his eyes. I don't know anything about what is going to happen. Don't forget he left Hogwarts on his own, so the fact I study in Hogwarts doesn't change anything."

Sandro, who had stayed silent since they stepped on the ship, said "I don't like him, but he is right. There is no point in hypothesizing what is this organization stuff. Anyway if anyone of us discover something I'm pretty sure we won't tell the others and profit of it by ourselves, so we might as well not speak of it at all. Let's just enjoy the trip."

The others nodded as they felt he was right. If they discovered something that could help them, why would they share it with the others and lose their advantage?

Meanwhile, Arthur was back on top of the ship, enjoying the view of the ocean. He truly found the sea beautiful. The blue that reached out to the horizon, seemingly endless.

But after half an hour, Arthur saw something worrying. Far in the distance, the clouds had darkened, and the sea became agitated. They were rushing in a tempest. Of course the ship has defense mechanisms to defend against the calamity, but nature's power was really above wizards.

If the tempest were to be too strong then even with all the protections on the ship, it would still sink.
