On the back of the griffin, the children only felt a comfortable breeze, which was obviously inconsistent with the griffin's flight speed. It was unclear whether this was the griffin's deliberate protection or the work of the leading magician.

There's a saying that goes, "Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," and the same applies to flying.

From a distance, it seemed that the magic school and the huge guard statues covered with moss and vines could be seen, but after flying for a while, it still didn't get much closer.

However, it was the fantastical animals in the forest below that attracted the attention of many students.

"Cough cough~"

"Children, do you feel like you can see the school, but after flying for a while you don't see it getting closer? This is actually the use of light and shadow magic to help people who are lost in the forest find the school. In fact, the school is still far away."

The leading monk wanted to explain the question that the children had always wondered about to the group of children with a smile, but when he looked back, he saw that apart from a few nodding thoughtfully, most of the children's eyes were looking at the forest below.

Bowen excitedly spoke to the two girls riding on the same griffin.

"Look, look! Unicorns! There are two! This is incredible! These are very rare fantasy species. There was once a wealthy man who went crazy and tried to buy a single unicorn horn at an exorbitant price. He was summoned by the government for questioning and hasn't been released since..."

Unicorns are one of the most popular fantasy creatures among children, and the two little girls were immediately drawn to them.

"Really? Really? Their white coats seem to be glowing! They're so cool!"

"Yeah, yeah, his mane is even smoother than my sister's hair."

The two unicorns below leisurely raised their heads, watching the flock of griffins flying overhead.

"Oh dear, this is the first batch, from the UK, right?"

"Yeah, there are a lot more cute girls this year, hehehe..."

"Hmm, I need to send this message to Boss Karton. There are a few promising prospects, and quite a few cute boys too!"

"Isn't Boss Karton busy right now?"

"No need to rush anymore, that angel girl has already dumped the boss."

"oh..."

The mage leading the flock of griffins above glanced at the unicorn below and thought to himself, "This is troublesome."

"Children, I want to solemnly remind you of a point of attention that is not mentioned in the school rules."

This time, the young mage used psychic magic; his resounding voice and the information about the school rules successfully captured the attention of all the children.

"The first rule of non-school regulations is, cough, do not approach unicorns alone, especially cute girls. Um, cute boys should also follow this rule."

This non-school rule/note sounded very awkward, and one child actually asked about it.

"What about the ugly ones?"

The leading magician glanced at the little boy who had asked the question; next to him was a chubby little girl who weighed twice as much as him.

"Don't worry, because you can't get close to the unicorn at all."

Bowen was also curious about this precaution.

"Aren't unicorns supposed to be very friendly fantasy creatures? They're said to have relatively good relations with humans, so why won't they let us get close?"

"Well... you'll understand this later. Of course, if you get lost in the forest and encounter danger, you can still ask a unicorn for help."

"Alright, children, welcome to Deep Blue Magic School!"

At this moment, the children looked up and suddenly realized that, without them noticing, the magic school, which had seemed so close just moments before, was now almost within reach, and the griffins at the front had passed by the huge guard statues one after another.

These statues are generally over 100 meters tall, much taller than most trees, with only a few exceptionally large trees reaching their height.

The area where they were located had relatively low vegetation, allowing the children on the griffin's back to see the entire statue clearly.

While many places are covered in stucco, moss, and vines, in some areas...

The sunlight reflected off the statues, revealing that they were not made of stone, but of some kind of metal.

One griffin after another glided over the statue, and Bowen, along with Lily and Lucy who were riding on the same griffin, watched intently.

The statues are incredibly lifelike, clad in full armor. One of them has a giant sword stuck in front of him, his hands resting on the hilt, gazing calmly ahead. Other statues depict various weapons such as hammers, swords, and spears.

“Lily, Lucy, I suspect this statue is moving; it’s clearly not meant to be used as a school wall.”

Lily nodded excitedly.

"I think so too, otherwise why would we put so many statues here?"

"Maybe it really is a boundary marker. There's so much vegetation on it, it doesn't look like it's been touched at all, it's probably all rusted."

Lucy retorted.

"No, you should have seen the 'Wrath of the Goddess' video that was made in Britain more than ten years ago, right?"

"Yes, I've seen it. It was only made public a few years ago and caused quite a stir."

"The archmages Merlin and others inside used very powerful puppet magic, and even briefly fought against the goddess Morian. Although it is said that the goddess had only been awakened for a short time at that time and her power recovery was not high, it was still very powerful. She was a high-ranking person!"

Lucy's eyes lit up.

"I get it, you mean these are metal golems? Wow, there must be hundreds of them, that's so cool!"

The magician leading the group heard every whisper of the children behind him and clicked his tongue inwardly.

Kids these days are really something else!

...

Another twenty minutes or so passed, and all the griffins landed in the square in front of the school.

Upon arriving here, the children could already sense the rich magical atmosphere. From time to time, older students would pass by in the distance, either walking or drifting, and some would even roast food with flames in the air as they walked.

The leading mage couldn't stand it any longer and shouted loudly at the older students in the distance.

"Everyone, get out of here. Either go back to class or go back to your research. Don't try to show off in front of the freshmen, or you'll lose credits!"

In an instant, the once bustling front square was deserted, except for a few former teachers who slowly walked out of the main gate.

Nova walked at the front, with a white raven perched on his shoulder.

"Frank, you're still so energetic! I'm so busy I'm about to faint, haha."

The team leader mage replied irritably.

"I'm mentally and physically exhausted. I've been their babysitter the whole way. Ask those bastards how many times they secretly plucked griffin feathers along the way. If it weren't for the griffin's tough body, they'd probably be bald by now..."

Many children, including Bowen, felt their faces burning; it turned out the teacher had seen everything.

Lily pulled on Bowen and Lucy's clothes.

"See that handsome teacher? The one on the admission notice. He's the reincarnated demon god, the White Raven Wizard Nova."

Bowen immediately turned his head toward Nova and the white raven on his shoulder.
