Yo, not much to say here.

By the way if anyone think they knows a good name for this chapter as I have no idea what to name it, feel free to tell me!

Without further ado, enjoy!

“There are two events in the school which happens annually each year regardless of circumstances.

“The first event is the newcomers tournament. It’s held in the arena and the prizes are very good for new cultivators. Even to cultivators who have graduated, they hold value.

“The prizes are everything from glory points to special privileges or even private apprenticeship to eccentric teachers.

“Well, technically the private apprenticeships are not prizes as they are something totally unrelated to the competition in itself. But if you impress the some teachers or make them take interest in you, they might want to apprentice you. And since the most common occurrence of apprenticeship is at the tournament, it can be seen as such.

“And I can ensure you as eccentric as they are, if they deem you worthy, they will impart everything they know to you…” As Garion said the last sentence sadness was shown in his eyes, “They will do anything to protect you…”

“The second event is simply called “survival training. It encompasses all students in all classes and is made to be a training where they are to survive in the wilderness for one month.

“There will be a ranking at the end of the month which displays all students and ranks them according to whom gathered most beast beads... Garion said before abruptly stopping.

“Boy, do you know what beast beads are?” Garion asked him not knowing wether Philip knew or not.

“Yes, I actually got some on my way here from the beast I killed.” Philip answered. he had no idea if he should be proud or not – he had after all, no idea what the general strength was of cultivators in his age group.”

“Okay, well, killing beasts and selling their beast beads to the school is one of the most efficient way to gain glory points, their skin, fur or scales, may also hold some value for different jobs, such as blacksmiths, alchemists and so on.

“Anyways, about the second annual event, the last thing you need to know is that there are no rules in wilderness – that allows killing

“Well, of you go, get to room 765, it will be yours until the new semester begins.”

Garion urged Philip off after pointing out where he should go on the map given to Philip by the guard as well as giving him the room key he needed.

He took off and went to room 765 by following the map.

…….

The room was quite spacious but only covered the necessary things human cultivators needed, which is to say – nothing

The room was completely completely empty.

“Well, It’s not like i need anything else at the moment” he said and sat down on the floor and started to meditate, focusing on increasing his connection with his star.

Strengthening his connection with his asteroid typ star wouldn’t really yield any results until he got a technique but it was better than nothing and either way, his body was very sore from the journey so he couldn’t to strength training.

It was the first time in years after embarking on the journey that he could finally relax, his whole being letting go of the defensive posture.

As such, the months gradually passed as it was time for the new semester of the celestial academy to start.

…….

He had spent these months with quiet meditation, strength training and most of all the longing to select a technique to study in the library, he really wanted to become stronger.

It was finally time for the his enrollment in the academy and it made him very excited. Today was the the day.

He went out of his room and its dormitory.

He was instructed by the headmaster to go to classroom 1D where his class were to gather.

He came to the classroom, took a deep breath and went in.

The classroom was filled with young people. Some of them had extravagant clothes and proud looks on their faces.

He guessed that they were sons or daughters from wealthy families.

He say down in the middle of the classroom.

Suddenly a guy on his right stretched out his hand, “Yo, I’m Lucas, what’s your name?”

Philip took Lucas’s hand, rather shocked by this straightforward guy. The guy, Lucas, had blonde hair and a big smile. Somehow, even with his crude face, Philip believed that Lucas was rather popular with the girls.

“I’m Philip, nice to meet you!” He was guide happy as he said that, he made his first friend in the academy.

…….

“Hello students of class 1D, my name is Sandra and I’ll be the teacher in charge of your class as you stay in the academy.

“Compared to other schoolsoft this academy is quite different. We don’t have any regular schedule, it’s completely up to each of the students to decide how they want to spend their time.

“The crux is however that the students of the academy whom doesn’t perform good enough, are not allowed to stay.

“So I this as your teacher, perform well or I will personally remove you” The students in class 1D all felt chill crawl up on their spines.

“Well well, i hope we can have a good time here together and I hope you all will enjoy yourselves!” Her smile was very bright and enthusiastic but her new students only saw a scary grin upon thinking about the consequences of bad performance.
