Hearing this a smile formed on Alan's face as he speak.
"This is the question I have been waiting for. Techniques(arts or scroll) can be learned in 3 ways. Can you see the large dome structure? "
Alan pointed toward the East where a large dome-like building stood. Everyone nodded their head.
"That building is known as Arena. There is a huge library present on the other side of the arena. You can go there and learn as many arts as you like. You just need points for that. Do remember that these techniques are quite expensive."
Lifting his hand, he points 2 fingers.
"2nd is to join an army and they will help you train. There are many armies with many unique styles of fighting. If you join them they will teach you those techniques.
And 3rd you get a chance to become a trainee under a teacher. If you are able to find yourself a teacher then you will learn their special technique and training. This is the best way to learn premium knowledge and techniques. For both the 2nd and 3rd options you need to perform better in the exam which will take after 6 months and you must get a better rank."
Alan next pointed toward a girl in a black one-piece dress. She speaks confidently.
"What about the army you spoke of."
Alan replies with a smile.
"As you know, we have to participate in regional war every 3 years until we become a Soldier (level 1 warriors). Now to participate in war you need to join a banner. Which in our case would be Black Skeleton academy?
In this banner, multiple small armies do tasks independently in the Black skeleton Academy name. War is all about the war points. To earn these points students form groups before joining the war this group is known as an army.
Now joining an army comes with many benefits like safety and more point in the war. If you join the army you can get the special technique of the army. Cons of joining armies are that you must have to make sure that your army head and commanders survive in the war. In an army, you will be bounded by rules."
Alan paused to make sure everyone understand what he said. Then he pointed to the fat girl in the group. Licking her lips she asks.
"What about the slaves you spoke of earlier? You do not explain them in detail."
Seeing her disgusting smile everyone takes a step away from her. Alan without any change in expression speaks.
"Well I do not know all about slaves but let me give you some basic details. There are 2 types of slaves.
1st are Inner slaves. Those who are in the last 1 percent of ranks. They will be treated as slaves. Due to the contract with the academy, nobody can do anything to mortally harm them but their life is still miserable.
2nd Are war slaves. These are the student who gets captured in the war from other academies.
You can buy War slaves but inner slaves are mostly community slaves. Now you will ask me what is a slave right?"
Alan has a smirk on his face as he asks this. Everyone nodded their head. All of them want to know what these slaves are. Some want to get a slave for themself, others want to do everything to not become a slave. Alan replies seeing them nodding their head.
"Well, slaves can be used in different ways. For example, a beautiful boy or girl will be used as a man whore or bitch. Especially If you are that much beautiful."
Saying that Alan pointed toward Jin. Hearing that Eric sees that Jin has a pale face. Alan continues.
"But most beautiful slaves are always personal slaves so their lives are not that miserable. Now for community Slaves, anyone can use them whenever they wanted. You can imagine their misery yourself. But that is only the start. Many teachers and students use Slaves to perform many experiments on them. Most of these experiments if fail will lead to a life more miserable than an animal. Some also use these slaves like animals.
You can imagine any inhuman thing. Life as a slave is 10 times more miserable than what you can imagine. The inner slaves still have a chance to change their life but once they become war slaves than nobody knows what will happen to them.
You can buy yourself a war slave after the war will finish."
Saying this Alan also has a pale face while most of the students are shivering just from hearing this. Even Eric has a serious face. He does not want to experience a life of a slave for even one day. After some time Alan composes himself.
This time Alan point toward the fat boy Eric. Eric asks with a smile.
"Can we share the academy coins with each other?"
Matching his smirk Alan replied.
" Well, you need permission from the guys you want to receive coins from. If both parties are ready then there is no problem."
Many of them smirk at that. Some still clueless stare at Alan but he does not explain more. Alan point toward a small boy. That boy asks.
"Well, Alan can you tell me the name of cores."
Alan starts thinking about something and then speaks.
"Well I do not know much about them but I can tell you that Out of 5 of them 4 are male and 1 is female. They have code names Blue, White, Brown, Pink, and Grey."
Alan pointed toward the next person. This time a girl asks the question.
"Who is the girl who is leading you guys?"
Alan smile and speak.
"That is not something I will tell you."
This time Alan point toward a large boy. That boy meekly asks.
"Alan can you tell me a little about Physical and Magical paths."
Alan replies.
" Guys just like you, we also do not know much about both roots. But do not worry in 1-month compulsory classes Academy will tell us all this basic information. I do know that once you select your path you will get a chance to select a weapon from the academy. To claim that you need to inform your choice of the warrior present at the reception in the building you stay in. You can collect your weapon immediately after you select your path. Most of us seniors have already decided our path, all we were waiting for the war to start and now we are going to form our cores."
Next Alan point toward another big muscular guy. That person asks.
"Alan what can you tell us more about potential?"
Alan nodded his head and speak.
"You already know about the potential from the warrior right."
Everyone nodded their head. Alan continues.
"Let me tell you that potential is not that much simple as it sounds.
If you form your core within 5 days then you will get SSS potential.
Within 10 days then SS potential.
Within 15 days then S potential.
Within 20 days then A potential.
Within 30 days then B potential.
Within 45 days then C potential.
Within 60 days then D potential.
Anything above 60 days is E potential.
Now each potential is divided into 3 small parts like power level.
Let's say you form your core on the 16th day then your potential will be A+. If you take 17 or 18 days then your potential will be A. Lastly, If you form your core in 19 or 20 days then your potential will be A-.
That is all I know about the potential. You must try to form your core as fast as possible."
Alan point toward the next person and this continues for half hour.
After half hour later Eric looks around. There are still many who want to ask more but Alan refuses them. At the end Alan announces.
" You all can go to your building reception desk and collect the manual on 'how to form the core. If someone already decided their path then they can talk to the warrior present at building reception to select a weapon for them."
Saying that Alan walks away from them. Eric finds that most of the 50 people are already present in front of all 1000 students. After some time all 50 people walk back toward the building they Come from which is on the north side of the Training ground.
After talking with Alan Eric knows the basic things about the academy. When they ask about war-related thing Alan refuse them saying he did not know. One thing he realizes after comparing his experience in the white academy with his current experience is that the Black academy is all about the elite.
The White academies focus on teaching everyone but the Black academy is about strong. Here they will only teach you if you show them your worth.
The black academies have a more open scheme than the inner hidden struggle of White academies.
Eric has a plan of his own where he needs to show his uniqueness to others.
Hope you like it.
