La quickly found herself being brought to the faculty to observe the so-called ''ounder'', which apparently numbered at twenty five. These were the people she recognized, they were the ones who woulde together with her and witness the nightmare of the bloodbath.


    King Can and her were weed by a thin-looking old man. The moment she saw thetter, La''s eyes immediately attracted to the unique-shaped sses hanging on his nose.


    "Wee, King Can." He then looked toward La and asked politely, "Is this the girl?"


    "Yes, Emmet. She''s the one." replied the Arcadian King. "Brief her of what you told me before."


    The old man, Emmet, even though looked so thin and decrepit at first nce, was actually much more energetic than La had expected. An excited look was apparent on his face as he began exining what exactly he was doing.


    Emmet, who actually preferred to be called Dr. Emmet, was one of the ounders that had been stuck on this together for thest 20 years. During their time in this unknown and dangerous world, they had been helping the Arcadian King with many things about the existing others.


    He told La that the twenty five ounders came from eight differents. In addition, all of thes were apparently mid and low-rank ones, with less knowledge about the outside universe just like Arcadia.


    They were different from the rest of the O District''s residents who mostly originated from space. These ounders arrived at this world from what appeared to be a portal situated at the Aesir Ruins.


    "We have asked all of them and found out that all eight differents they originated form have some history or myths about the Asgardian people."


    Therefore, Emmet came into a conclusion that somehow, around five thousand years ago, the Asgardians made use of the Aesir portal to send some of their people to these eights, and for by some probable chances, their descendants arrived and returned to their origin world by the work of the reported Goblin Scientist.


    Everyone in this group of ounders had various levels of aptitude on magic, which made Emmet believe this was the reason as to why they and La weren''t butchered on that nightmarish day. However, Emmet couldn''t find anyone with better aptitude than La, and he also discover nothing out of ordinary from these twenty five people.


    Therefore, after being mind-read and tested, Emmet told La that these people were decided and ready to be integrated into the O District, bing another of its residents.


    The things that Emmet exined was simr to something that La once heard from sci-fi novels or films. Hence, she could still somehow follow it. However, listening and believing were two entirely different matters, where thetter would certainly take more time for her.


    After receiving the lengthy exnation and orientation from Emmet, King Can gave La an opportunity to speak to the four people who hade from Earth with her. All of them were middle-aged men and women in a state of panic, fear, and confusion.


    These people had no connection with her whatsoever, other than the fact they were all boarding the same ne from Florida Airport. Hence, La only spent a moment to talk pleasantries with them before walking away again.


    Later on, Emmet spent some time alone with La, asking some questions. The first one was about her family, which basically provided nothing as she had been in the orphanage since very little.


    The second was about her knowledge of Asgardian history. Emmet asked La to tell him everything she knew regarding this topic, whether it was true or not. Unfortunately for him, La wasn''t really a history nor mythology fan. The only word she knew which had some kind of connection with Asgardian was a certain Hollywood film, where a stunning guy with enviable hair and some kind of hammer as a weapon.


    After this short session of getting into contacts with the ounders, La had gotten some of her questions answered. But then, more questions popped into her mind.


    "King Can, I am very grateful that you gave me this chance. But why did you take the time to personally show me this amidst your busy schedule? What exactly do you want?"


    Upon hearing her question, the Arcadian King unexpectedly shed a smile and said, "You really are bright, aren''t you?" He then looked at La seriously. "The fact that you have extraordinary aptitude for magic and your amazing progress make me think that you are the reason the portal managed to bring all those people here. To put it simply, I suspect the others arrived here simply because you were there at that time."


    The words the Arcadian King spoke brought surprise to La due to its unexpectedness.


    "Me? Are you sure it wasn''t because of my brother?"


    King Can''s expression changed a little when she brought up her brother. "As for your brother, I think he''s apletely different matter altogether. Don''t worry, I will definitely tell you when I know more."


    Receiving the Arcadian King''s promise, La could only nod her head and walk along as they exited the faculty.


    King Can told her that starting from tomorrow, she would be moved to a different ss. The things that would be taught in this ss were more advanced than the one she previously attended, which were surely something she would not reject.


    The Arcadian King gave a sentence to La before he left for other matters. "Just listen to the mentor and train properly. Don''t force yourself too much."


    In the end, La was left with Dr. Emmet, who was instructed by King Can to lead her to the O District and learn more about it because this district was the ce she was supposed to be a member of.


    She was given an identification designated for the district, so that she coulde in and out as she pleased in the future.


    There were a total of 846 people registered as part of the O District, with only 40% being given clearance to go outside of the district. They were all naturally those who were ssified as ounders.


    Even though they werebeled as such, some of them managed to reach exceptional positions in Arcadia, like Dr. Emmet and the ship pilot Zoe and Wash. Some of them even managed to actually join the Kingsde.


    Dr. Emmet exined to La that this O District was built by the Arcadian King 30 years ago as a way for him to understand more about the worlds beyond the sky that he never knew of. But of course, the main reason for the construction of this was still to prepare for any threat that mighte along with the pursuit of knowledge.


    That was the reason why there was a whole faculty dedicated as the ce to research and develop the technology the ounders brought when they arrived in this world.


    Later on, La discovered she was given the grand tour of the entirety of O District. There existed an interesting marketce, where many items originated and made by the ounders being traded around. Various kinds of cuisines and beverages she would never imagine could be seen in this exact marketce, while weird-looking, entric, exquisite, and many other kinds of architecture were seen all around the district.


    In fact, her attention waspletely caught when they passed a particr area that waspletely filled with water, just like an aquarium. Noticing where she was looking, Emmit exined what the ce was.


    "That''s the residence made for the ounders who live in water."


    La found this tour around the district to be very much interesting, just like walking around a sci-fi theme park. Before long, the group came across a certain building that seemed to be heavily guarded.


    "What''s that ce, Dr. Emmet?" asked La while pointing her finger at the building.


    "That''s the residence for the 10% of the ounders who were considered dangerous for Arcadia."


    That exnation could only mean ''prison'' and none other. She wanted to take a look because she was curious about prison.


    With her talent for persuasion, La managed to get Dr. Emmet showed her around. At first nce, she could tell that the ce was filled with very, very emotional people. But then, those who were locked up tended to be emotional with the passage of time.


    Dr. Emmet didn''t allow La to get into direct contact with the people inside. But even so, she still managed to see a really scary-looking door that was obviously not for humans inside that ce.


    When asked as to why such a dangerous facility was built inside the district and not somewhere far away like a dungeon or something, Dr. Emmet could only say that some of the most important findings the district gained hade from those people.


    When it waste, La immediately returned to her residence and prepared for her new ss tomorrow.
