Jake was transported once more together with Reika and the others as they went onto the teleportation circle pointed out by the demon. He hadn’t even gotten the name of the horned guy but assumed they would probably meet again sometime in the future if he was in charge of the teleportation place.

When he and the others arrived at the other side of the teleportation circle, they found themselves in a new hub of sorts. They walked a bit forward as they all stopped and just looked around.

“Move,” someone said, as Jake and the others just stood there. Jake looked up and saw a large figure around four meters tall with an incredibly bulky build. Jake used Identify as he stepped to the side, the others hurrying after him.

[Ogre – lvl 178]

The ogre grunted and went on the circle they had just gotten off. Jake didn’t like the attitude of the ogre but didn’t wanna start shit five seconds after arriving. Instead, he hurried the group forward as someone walked up to them.

“New arrivals of the ninety-third Universe for the academy?” the person said as Jake confirmed it was yet another demon.

[Demon – lvl 192]

It was a woman with red skin and glowing orange eyes. She was wearing close to nothing but had at least covered the essential parts. She had two wings on her back and a tail as well as two small horns, with her proportions on the plentiful side, and Jake instantly knew.

It’s a gosh darn succubus!

The group behind him looked a bit uncomfortable, but Jake just answered. “That’s right, we just arrived.”

“Great! Please follow me. You are the second-to-last group we expect today. Oh, and be advised that no violence is allowed within the meeting room and will be met with swift execution,” she said with a bright smile as she led them towards a wall with a magic circle on.

She took out a token that flashed with light as the magic circle was replaced with a magical rectangular gate leading into what looked like a large leisure room. “Just through here.”

Jake took the lead as he gave her a nod and thanked her in passing, Reika and the eight other alchemists following behind closely. He noticed Reika and the others looking around with expressions of fear, interest, and curiosity, but most of all carefulness. Jake himself had also been rather curious as he saw many interesting creatures, but maybe he was a bit more used to it than other humans?

Going through the gate in front of them, Jake instantly felt the warmth hit him as the interior was quite cozy. It was a large space, and Jake saw it already contained around two hundred people. All eyes landed on Jake and his group when they entered, at first with little interest, but in tandem with Jake feeling the Identify’s hitting him, their eyes lingered.

It made sense. Currently, Jake was showing himself to be level 181, which made him instantly stand out. As he inspected them back, the first thing he noticed was just the sheer diversity. He saw all kinds of races, all of them of humanoid build, but their power and appearances varied greatly.

There were several smaller groups, which Jake guessed were groups that had come together. He quickly Identified a bunch of the leaders of the groups and saw their levels.
