I am an Eldritch Entity

How did Eryndor know that the incoming man was a master? The one who taught the disciples here?

Because he was wearing a red robe.

Red robes were exclusively for masters.

Black robe was for the head of the Training Camp.

Green robe for the alchemists, in this Training Camp there was only a single one.

Brown robe for the craftsmen. Yellow for array formation masters.

Lastly, gray for the staff.

The disciples were free to choose any other color of robe they liked to wear.

Naturally, white was the most popular, followed by other colors like blue, orange, and purple in no specific order.

From the memories of others, Eryndor knew that the master who had reached the counter and was conversing with the staff was Master Troy.

It was said that it was extremely rare to find him in the main building of the Training Camp for any lessons.

He was always cultivating deep inside the forest, also acting as a protector of sorts for the Training Camp.

After all, even though the Cultivation world seemed peaceful on the surface, it was simply not possible in reality unless someone omniscient and omnipotent was ruling through absolute micromanagement.

This world also had factions. Factions which had allies and enemies among other factions.

Naturally, that also meant the very existence of Training Camps was also bound to be a thorn in at least some faction's eyes.

Even if it was not the Training Camp itself, what if the head of the Training Camp or some master was an enemy of someone out there?

What if they targeted the disciples or the Training Camp to make things difficult for their enemies which were working here?

To guard against such threats, there were already measures in place, with Master Troy being one of them.

Eryndor didn't dare use his Cognitive Scrying on the master.

He simply watched as he conversed with the staff, who hurriedly said something to another staff member, who approached the notice board.

The notice about the establishment of the Bureau of Anomaly Control was minimized into a small line and put to the side, under the list of topics which were displayed on the board in the past.

If a disciple wished to view these past topics, they could put their badge into one of the grooves on the side of the board and click on the topic.

Once the board was empty, the staff held onto a red button which had popped up by the side and Eryndor saw words and images appear on the board.

There was no chalk, or any kind of writing tool being used. The words and images simply manifested out of thin air on the board.

Once it was done, the master simply stood to a side beside the board.

It seemed that he wasn't one to talk too much.

Eryndor turned his eyes to the board and read everything within a minute.

Damn, an anomaly has already been found? Even before the department to deal with them could be established?

He thought, while keeping his eyes trained on one spot of the board.

It said that since the Bureau of Anomaly Control hasn't been established formally, they would just choose a team of strongest disciples among the first ones to apply and take them to deal with the spotted anomaly under Master Troy.

They weren't letting just the masters deal with it because they wanted to give disciples a chance to gain experience of going against an anomaly.

But they also didn't want to wait for a long time which would give the anomaly a chance to grow, therefore they would only give a small time window within which disciples could apply, the strongest ones among which would be chosen.

It wasn't that they didn't want to wait for the top ranked disciples to arrive, but like mentioned before, there was simply no time.

Eryndor stood there, and contemplated if he should join the team.

It was written on the notice board that the disciples who would be finalized for this team would be given more leeway in terms of qualifications required if they decided to apply for the Bureau of Anomaly Control in the future.

I mean, it is certainly a good thing for me but there's a single problem.

Eryndor thought, and once again read the notice on the board in case he missed anything.

Yes, there's no information on the anomaly itself.

Eryndor remembered the importance of information when dealing with anomalies.

They had a set of rules that must not be violated if one wanted to deal with them.

For example the anomaly he heard about in the classroom of The Academy.

Dread Cloud.

It would be weird if he forgot about the name of the anomaly which was the sole reason there was a blockade on their information for close to two centuries on Earth.

It had targeted humans on Earth.

As long as even a single human existed which felt fear towards anomalies in general, Dread Cloud would continue to exist.

What was its offensive lethality? Its mechanisms of growing powerful? And so on and so forth? Eryndor didn't know.

There was also another anomaly named Hand of Destruction.

It was the one Professor Melissa's team was supposed to handle but the situation with Rodrick occurred and their team of four were also roped into the situation.

The Federation already had prior information regarding the anomaly, allowing them to easily bypass the dangers of the anomaly.

The Hand of Destruction could annihilate the target down to atomic level if it slept within its range within a specific timeframe.

If the Federation didn't have information regarding the anomaly and the ones sent to deal with it slept within its range then they would die without even realizing anything.

Just because Eryndor didn't deal with many anomalies of such kind didn't mean that they didn't exist.

Rule based anomalies still occupied the absolute majority among their kind.

Information was important in terms of dealing with an anomaly, and there was no information on the one Master Troy had notified about.
