Chapter 80: Academy II
From here on, his cultivation path will begin.
Academy was the first thing a person encountered when they enter the gician world. Their personality, powers and future would dependrgely on it so it was a very important ce.
The Quintamore academy, being the leading academy, it was a gigantic organization. It was even said that it had a legacy of 2000 years.
Right now, they were in front of such an academy.
Within the vastnd he was in right now, there stood a set of buildings. From how he sees, it seemed like they had already bypassed the security and directly entered the academy.
...
When theynded, three people seemed to have been waiting for their arrival as they immediately greeted the fourth-tier lord. Seeing them bow, the fourth-tier lord didn''t care about them as he flew away.
After the lord had disappeared from their vision, the group of people in front of them stepped forward and introduced themselves. Their names were Oliver, Weant, and Kol. They were supposedly in the second stage seniors.
"Hi everyone. I''m Oliver and with them two, we''re here to introduce you to the academy. We''ll tell you about the details and where the various structures were built.
First of all, she''s Weant and the person with the red hair over there is Kol. We''re seniors form the second stage of this academy.
To introduce the academy to you, our academy, Quintamore is the leading academy and is considered neutral to both the human and the monster universe. It epts people of any race and heritage as long as they have the talent and money. The period where you''ll be studying is 40 years and it''s divided into four stages.
Within this period of time, there will be a total of 10petitions meaning once every four years. Depending on the result, you can obtain benefits early on and advance your cultivation.
Entering this academy, you will be assigned to a teacher, who is a lord with the cultivation of fourth-tier. Once every three months, you can learn from your teacher meaning twice every half year and four times every year. In other times, you can do missions or learn from the public lessons.
As for who your teacher will be, it will be determined three dayster.
You will be assigned to a ss and the lessons will happen every morning on the five workdays. There won''t be any lessons taught on weekends. To get anything within this academy, credits will be required and other things such as gold coins or spiritual crystals won''t be of use.
The transaction within this academy depends on credit. Alright! The basic information you need to know is done. Now I will teach you where each of the facilities is."
Although the time he would spend studying here was long, he wasn''t surprised since he already knew about it.
Although a time span of forty was long for themon people, it wasn''t much to the gicians. The lifespan of a second-tier was one millennium and ording to the research, a third-tier existence''s maximum lifespan would be ten millenniums.
However, for the fourth-tiers, the current technology wasn''t able to measure the lifespan of such an existence at all. The difference between a runic existence and a domain existence was iprehensible. The difference between heaven and earth.
.....
As the three senior students introduced them to the various ces, Cylius memorized all of the ce''s location along with their information.
Right now, they were at the entrance of the Resource Department where they will receive their robes.
The rune inscribed onto the robe will describe what kind of standing the person has. Students will wear robes with no visible inscription while the teachers would wear one that has all kinds of runes on the rim.
Entering the building, he directly went to the lounge where a third-tier was sitting there. In front of him, a holographic image could be seen where it depicted the battle between two people.
But after sensing them, he rose up and closed the hologram. Right after, tokens and small metal balls appeared in the air.
"These tokens will describe your identity within the academy along with the verification that you''re the student of this academy. To activate it, you would need to hold it between your eyebrows and say "Archi". The token would activate by themself. It will be troublesome if you lose it, so keep it well.
As for these cores, they are called the ''guiding core'' and will contain the basic information about the academy.
You can decide to have it beside you or not. It will have no functions that will spy on your personal secrets and doings. It only has the function to answer your questions through the mental space. Due to it working in the mental space, the things you see or hear from the guiding core won''t appear to other people."
After saying all of that, he gestured for the people to each take one for themselves. The students, also without anyints, took the token and the guiding core. After activating their tokens, the three seniors bid their goodbyes and left the ce.
...
Inside his dorm, he traced the door numbers before finding his own room.
Scanning his token in front of the door, he pushed the door open, revealing a normal-sized room. Not too small and not too big. A bathroom, the bedroom, and another room for experimentation with no windows.
The bedroom had a bed, a wardrobe, and a table while the other room seemed to be exclusively made for experimentation. Only a metal table was left where he could see that the table could change into various shapes used for a wide variety of purposes.
For example, it was made from liquid metal that could change between solid and liquid forms quickly. As long as one had the blueprint and enough mental power for it, one could change this table into various tools.
For moremon materials like coal and such, the person could will it and get the material through the table. It was also with this feature that the metal table could change into a variety of tools.
All in all, this room of his was very satisfactory, but considering how big this academy is, giving each student a room like this could be a minor matter.
In his bedroom, he got out all of his belongings and started organizing them.
First, it would of course be his spacepressor where he kept all of his things. It had six guns, of which four were handguns and the other two were a sniper. He kept a few of them in case the other breaks.
After this would be the mask which was still useful despite the personality that was insecure being refined into a rune. The materials used in it were of high quality so with a little smelting, refining, and enchanting, it could be a piece of great defensive equipment. Maybe, he could even make this mask a gadget used for various purposes.
After this would be the blowgun which he didn''t need and could sell in the academy for some credits.
Then after this would be the hardened essence sucked out from the two wolf yin creatures. This essence wasn''t much help to him due to its properties differing from his own. So it couldn''t be used for cultivation. However, he could try to enchant it into a weapon or sell it.
Then it would be the hoverboard he bought on the Farem earlier. It could float and could transport the used in air. He could already fly so it wasn''t useful to him but he was interested in the technology used in it.
The hoverboard didn''tpletely depend on technology, he could feel the existence of genes in it. This would be put forter.
To cultivate and gather spiritual energy more efficiently, he heard that cultivation techniques were required. For example, the spiritual energies in the air could differ like the spiritual energy within the Gorge of Death which was more inclined towards the negative.
Absorbing energy which was corresponding or more close to the type of gene you are cultivating would yield more results.
For example, a person who has a defensive gene that uses fire to make an armor would be able to have higher aplishments by cultivating a fire type spiritual energy.
Right now, he had nothing to do. All of the things that were promised from the academy would start three days from now on, when all of the new people are here.
He could try meditating for three days until the time have reached.
.....
In no time at all, three days had passed as Cylius also got out of his meditation.
As he willed the guiding core to show his status, a blue screen appeared in front of him disying the time and schedule. It was currently 6 am.
Going out of his room, he immediately headed towards the ce where the event was going to happen.
Right in front of him, the guiding core have disyed the map of the academy ground.
It wasn''t far so he didn''t need any vehicles to reach there.
While on the way, he decided to check his status.
