He followed his intuition and got to the second floor of the building.
At seven minutes past nine, he finally found the class.
When he pushed the door open and walked in, the whole class stared at him. He turned to the professor in front of the class.
The professor was not too old, he had black hair with white streaks and a stern face. He had an arrogant aura around him and was looking at Blake with contempt in his eyes.
"Good morning sir." Blake greeted the professor.
"The lecture starts by eight and you arrive less than thirty minutes before it ends." The professor was angry.
"Sir…"
"Address me as Professor Arimus" the professor retorted.
"Professor Arimus, I joined the school yesterday and didn't know the venue of the lecture." Blake explained his situation to professor Arimus.
"Go sit down." Professor Arimus said in a displeased tone, he couldn't punish the kid because he gave a reasonable excuse.
Blake had a feeling that Professor Arimus did not like him, but he did not think much about it.
He quickly found a seat and tried to listen to the professor.
The lecture had already gone far and was about to end, but Blake could not understand what was being thought, but he noted some keywords like star gathering, stars, and special inheritance.
He didn't think much about it, because he could ask the system.
He scanned the classroom, only a few students were wearing colorful and regal clothes, these were the children from noble families.
Most of them had contemptuous looks on their face when a commoner spoke or asked questions.
It was not hard for him to notice this, because the commoners were the only ones asking the questions. It seemed like the nobles already knew these things.
As expected of nobles… Blake thought.
He looked at the front of the class and saw the blonde Luciano, he was quiet as usual, but unlike other nobles, he was not contemptuous toward the commoners.
He truly is a nice guy… Blake's impression of Luciano was getting better. When he was still thinking about Luciano, he noticed the whole class was looking at him.
"Blake, can you answer the question?" Professor Arimus asked.
Shit! What is the question?... His eyes darted around trying to figure out the question.
"What is the question?" He answered with a wry smile.
The whole class laughed when they heard his reply.
The professor did not expect much and said "Hopefully after the awakening test, those that are here to fool around would be expelled."
He looked at Blake and other commoners in the classroom.
"All forms of Energy comes from the mother stream; it is the source of all life in the universe." He turned to Blake and asked.
"Do you get that?" Blake nodded in response.
It didn't take long for the class to end and for the professor to leave.
Considering how we have lectures for only one hour and thirty minutes a day, I must confess I love school… A beaming smile was on his face as he saw Professor Arimus leave the classroom.
With a smile on his face, Luciano walked up to him and asked "I am going back to the dormitory; do you want to join me?"
"Yes." he answered.
As he headed out of the class with Luciano, he felt the gaze of people land on him.
He turned and saw it was from the nobles, from their smiles he already knew they were mocking him.
They have already formed cliques but unfortunately, I am the class clown… He sighed and walked out of the class.
When they left the class, Luciano turned to him. "Sorry for not telling the venue for the lecture, I forgot about it." he sincerely apologized to Blake.
"You don't have to apologize, you don't owe me anything." He said with a smile."
Truly, Blake was not worried about how he was embarrassed in class, he couldn't care less about what the nobles thought of him.
All he wanted was to get powerful so he could return to earth.
"As a way to make it up to you, let me give you a tour around the school." Luciano said.
Well, I can't refuse; I need it… he nodded and Luciano led the way.
Soon they reached the crossroads and headed for the path at the center.
"This way leads to the training grounds, auditorium, cultivation rooms, and the arena." Luciano acted as a tour guide.
"The training grounds would be the venue for our basic combat classes.
The awakening test would be held in the arena and the auditorium is for large lectures or conferences." He looked at Blake to know if he was following, before continuing.
"Students are prohibited from using the cultivation rooms unless given permission." Luciano warned.
"How does one get permission?" Blake asked.
"After the awakening test, we will be ranked based on our speed in advancing and those at the top would be given time in the cultivation room."
They headed to the path on the left.
"You already know about the administrative building, resources assigned to a person can be claimed here and if permission is needed for anything you could apply here." Blake was impressed by how Luciano explained everything in detail.
They quickly passed the administrative building and reached a white building with two spire towers.
"This is the school's library, information about materials, monsters, items, and so on, can be gotten here, as long as you have reached the required level to access the information."
I wondered the level of information I can access with the royal family's seal… He planned on visiting the library when he had settled down.
At this point, Luciano turned to Blake and said "That will be the end of the tour, the other parts of the school are only meant for students in the main school. Let's head back for lunch"
Yeah, I am starving… He missed breakfast and his stomach was grumbling.
When they returned to the Wind Griffin dormitory, they went to the dining hall for lunch.
In the dining hall, Blake and Luciano were chatting as they ate.
Their relationship had gotten a lot better compared to the last time they had dinner.
"I came to the class late and didn't get Professor Arimus's lesson, could you help me out?" Blake smiled sheepishly.
Luciano chuckled when he heard Blake's request "Yes of course, what do you want to know?"
It has been confirmed, that I am the class clown… he gave a self-deprecating smile and asked, "What is a celestial star, and what is celestial star gathering?"
"A celestial star is formed when the amount of nature's energy absorbed by a body reaches a certain level and the process of forming celestial stars is called celestial star gathering. The number of celestial stars formed is four in number, that means you have broken into the warrior level." He said earnestly.
"What are the functions of the celestial stars?" Blake asked
"Well for starters, it increases your range of perception and the number of celestial stars determines the power of the spell." He saw Blake looking at him with a raised brow.
"I came across a book and it explained that celestial stars help us connect to the mother stream and tap energy to cast spells." Luciano said.
"Oh… So, the number of celestial stars one has, the more energy that can be drawn from the mother stream." Blake gave an understanding nod.
After some minutes of chatting with Luciano, Blake returned to his room and planned on absorbing nature's energy while meditating.
System what is a special pathway? … He had forgotten to ask him what a special pathway was because Professor Arimus had focused more on Celestial convergence and barely mentioned special pathways.
[A special pathway is formed when a pathway evolves and gets the power of another authority added to it.
Depending on the authority formed, a special pathway will be nothing less than two times the power of a normal pathway.
The owner of a special pathway will be able to contend with someone above his/her level and will be undisputed in his level.]
When Blake heard this, he was surprised by how much power a special pathway had.
He quickly asked the system "How can a pathway evolve?"
[A pathway will evolve if the practitioner of a pathway assimilates perfectly with the pathway and gets a profound understanding of it. Then an authority will be formed based on his understanding, but the chances of this occurring are very low, only geniuses can achieve this.]
As I guessed it won't be that easy else everyone will have a special pathway… Blake frowned when he heard the answer, and then the mechanical voice continued.
[There is another way of forming a special pathway.
If the practitioner of a pathway comes in contact with a celestial relic and absorbs its energy, a change will occur based on the type of energy absorbed from the celestial relic.]
"Why do I feel it sounds easier than it is." He gave a low laugh.
"If celestial relics are so easy to find, then they would have already been found by the inhabitants of this planet." He sighed and thought.
I need a special pathway…
[Host already has a special pathway; the All-father's space inheritance is a special pathway that has the time authority.]
"…" Blake was stunned by the system's message.
"You don't mean it" He could not believe what he heard, so he asked the system again.
"Are you sure that the All-father's space inheritance is a special pathway?"
[100% correct.] The system repeated.
"Wow!" He was happy when he confirmed that his ears were not playing tricks on him, but it turned into a confused expression.
Then why is it so weak?... He didn't think much about it, before putting it at the back of his head.
"I have to form stars before the awakening test." He crossed his legs and began to meditate.
Luciano said I have to sense the energy particles around me and draw them to my body… He exhaled and closed his eyes.
After 10 minutes Blake opened his eyes "I didn't sense shit and it takes so long... They make cultivation sound fun in web novels" He whined.
"System how do I absorb nature's energy?" He decided to seek the help of the system.
[Nature's energy in the current location is too thin. Host should go to the woods, where nature's energy is denser and purer, to advance quickly.]
Okay!... When he heard the system's reply, he quickly left the dormitory and headed for the forest behind the dormitories.
When he got to the forest, he didn't see students at the periphery of the forest, so he quickly went deeper into the forest waiting for the system to locate the spot with dense nature's energy.
[Area with dense nature's energy has been detected! Host is 300 meters away.]
"How are places with dense nature's energy formed?" He was curious as to why places had higher nature energy than others.
[Nature's energy is everywhere, but it gets attracted to things that are more connected to the mother stream.
The older something is the higher the connection it has with the mother stream, the same goes for the pathways, but in this case, the attraction is higher for cultivators depending on their level.
The concentration of nature's energy is higher near trees that have lived longer.]
"That means someone in a higher level of a pathway can easily suppress someone lower in the same pathway."
[That is correct.] The system confirmed Blake's thoughts.
When he was 50 meters away, the system gave a notification.
[Host has entered a concealed space.]
When the notification came, the environment began changing. Large roots could be seen across the area, he began guessing what was at the location.
how did I enter?... Blake was not a stranger to the term 'concealed space', what he wanted to know was how he entered it.
[Every concealed space has an entrance, as far as you know its entrance you can access it.
In the case of the magical spring, host was led through the entrance and the morgs followed.]
No wonder the place was untouched… He finally understood what happened.
Soon the sight of a massive tree came into view, the trunk of the tree was more than 30 meters wide. It was more than 300 feet tall and had thick branches.
[Proceed to the foot of the ancestral tree and begin meditation.]
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
