Chapter 113 "You will also be examined every year in those courses and, if the results won't be satisfying, you will be requested to abandon that subject . You will still be able to attend it but it will cost you some Credits . " Thaddeus stopped speaking for a moment before resuming in his explanation . "You must also complete a mission for the academy every two months . There is a large board on the right side of the river where you can find all the tasks that you can complete . Being successful in a mission will grant you merit points that you can exchange for techniques, materials, or weapons . These services will be open for you after you undergo the test of your nature . " "Lastly, any professor can choose a disciple and finance him . It is a great honor so be sure to shine in your respective fields . " Thaddeus pointed to a building on the right side of the river . "Go in that structure and obtain your academy token together with a book containing the regulations and the other details of the academy . Your lodgings will also be decided there . Remember to visit the board to know the calendar of the courses, your lessons start tomorrow . " Thaddeus gestured to the group to disperse and the students bowed before going in the direction pointed by him . The environment was peaceful and the density of "Breath" was high, there were small bridges on the river to facilitate its crossing . In a few minutes, the students of the Grayshade class arrived in front of the edifice . Before someone crossed its entrance though, a voice sounded from inside it . "The twenty-five with the highest battle prowess first . " Those that had passed the test entered the building, Noah and June were among them of course . A big hall unfolded in front of them and, at the end of it, a desk was placed with an old woman writing something on a paper . She raised her look and spoke .
"The strongest among you can come forth . " The students turned to look at Noah . 'So much for laying low . ' He sighed and then moved toward the desk . "Place your hand on this tablet and read these words loud and clear . " She pointed at a marble tablet with inscriptions on it while handing him a small sheet . 'Never reveal the location of the academy, the secrets of the academy, the activities of the academy, the teachings of the academy… . ' An oath was written on it which basically prevented him to speak of anything regarding the academy to outsiders . Noah found it reasonable and made the vow while placing his hand on the tablet . A rune attached itself to his skin and then was absorbed by it . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting . 'I wonder what kind of after-effects do you have if you break the oath . ' It was already his second one but he still didn't know what would happen if he didn't follow its restrictions, he simply had a very bad sensation about it .
The woman nodded .
"Name?"
"Vance . " After a few seconds, she handed him a token with his name written on it . "Bind it with your mental energy . I already assigned you the first empty room toward the source of the river . Here is your book with all the required information about the academy . " Noah received the token and the book but could not help to have some doubts . "What is the difference between the source and the end of the river?" She answered briefly . "The concentration of "Breath" is higher on the source . " At her words, Noah understood why she divided the students . 'They want to nourish the already strong ones . It makes sense . ' The powerful gets everything while the weak is blamed, that rule was set in stone in that world .
Noah exited the building while he bound the academy token . Immediately, a map of the academy was projected in his mind with all its various buildings and their functions . A small spot on the map was glowing with a red color . 'That one should be my room . ' He put everything back in his space-ring and moved in the direction of his lodging . He decided to give a look to the board first since it was on the same side of the river of his accommodation . There was no one on the streets of the academy and, when he arrived at the board, a large square appeared in his sight . At its center, a large wooden panel was erected with tens of different tablets affixed on it . Noah inspected the contents of the various missions before finding the tablet regarding the courses of his class . 'These tasks have a lot of requirements . Apprentice alchemist, beginner inscriber, rank 2 dantian . They all seem important assignments . ' Since he still didn't know the value of the merit points, he didn't bother to look at them and just memorized the calendar of the courses . Then, he went toward his lodging . After walking for a few minutes, he arrived in front of a small house . There were many like that one along all the right side of the river, Noah was sure that he had spotted more than five hundred of them . He checked again on the map and confirmed that it was his house . Noah neared the token to the door and a mechanical sound came from it . The door opened at Noah's push and its insides were shown to him . There were two rooms inside, one with a big and comfortable bed and another one with a bathtub . It was very simple in its furniture but Noah appreciated the absence of useless things . The density of "Breath" was more than twice the one outside the forest which made Noah quite happy about his location . He sat on the bed and took out the book with the regulations and began to read it . He would nod from time to time while the remaining pages to read diminished . After he read through all the book, he sorted the most important information in his mind . 'I can't kill or gravely injure other students but small fights are allowed . The enrollment to the academy lasts till you are twenty years old, after that you need to apply for a position and pass a test if you want to remain in this space . I will think about the other information after I have an idea of the techniques that I can obtain here . ' It was still the middle of the afternoon so Noah decided to rest before waking up at night to resume his cultivation .
