บท 40: Chapter 40: Jiao Min
Inside the Earth Dragon Academy and in the same place as the previous exam, nearly two hundred young men and women gathered.
They were the ones who passed the entrance exam, and they represented almost thirty percent of the total participants, which is a good percentage compared to previous years.
In addition, the spirits mirror revealed interesting spirit forms, which put a smile on the face of the elder who had come to welcome them. It was possible to tell that he was a magician by his long white robe.
The elder walked, he was in his thirties, having a strong presence and a majestic aura. He spoke in a solid and audible voice without even using magic.
"Congratulations on passing the entrance exam. From this moment, you are students of the Earth Dragon Academy, and I am going to give you an idea of what you will learn here. You can see the magic circles spread throughout the square, so please walk inside the circle."
The students carried out the elder's order and gathered inside the circles drawn on the square. The elder began to recite some incantations, which made the circles shine. It was only moments until the white light covered the entire square.
"Wow, there is so much information flowing inside my head. Now I know every inch of the academy like the palm of my hand."
One of the students spoke in surprise, and he was not the only one. Everyone was stunned by the information that suddenly appeared in their minds.
The academy is spread over hundreds of miles and can be considered an independent city. In addition to the training grounds and student dormitories, there is a vast forest full of monsters and a huge market where you can buy and sell everything related to magicians and warriors.
The academy relies on the freestyle of training. The student can choose what he wants from the martial arts classes, Dao lectures, and growth techniques; On the condition is that it does not conflict with his spirit form. Of course, they can go to the elders and ask for advice.
The elder stared at the bewildered faces of the students who were trying to absorb the huge amount of information that flowed into their heads before saying,
"It's a magic memory. With the help of this magic, everyone has a clear idea of the academy and its policy. After two days, you can get your share of spirit stones to start your training. Until then, you have to undergo a physical training estimate."
Thanks to the magic of memory, everyone knew what the elder meant and the significance of the spirit stones he was talking about.
These spirit stones are small energy stones. It facilitates gathering the qi energy within the person's body, which helps raise their level more quickly. It is also the official currency here, and it is used to buy, sell, and even exchange for services.
At first, each new student would get fifty spirit stones to meet his needs and raise his level, but they would only get ten spirit stones each month from the next month.
The magic of memory was really useful and effective. Everyone now had an idea of how things were going here and started planning for their next days.
----------------------------------------
The physical training estimate consisted of long-distance running, weightlifting, mountain climbing, and swimming.
The new students did not rest from the harsh basic training for the two consecutive days. Although everyone went through this training in the basic and evolution realm, the academy had its policy in estimating the student's physical condition.
Some skills may lead to severe problems if the body is not strong enough to withstand them. The body is the spirit vessel, and if the student does not pass the physical exam, he will have to do an intensive training session to increase the strength of his body.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, the hell of physical training ended, and the day of getting the spirit stones had come. One of the reasons for establishing the academy in this particular place was the presence of the spirit stones mines, which is the reason for the high energy in this place.
These mines are heavily guarded, and unauthorized persons can't approach them.
As usual, Jin was with Du Bai when Lian and Li Chui came to them, who started to speak with her sweet smile.
"I know you have memories of the place and its policy, but I can still answer your questions."
Du Bai asked what he had in mind.
"We got fifty spirit stones, but it won't be enough. So how can we get more?"
"Every month, you will get ten spirits stones. You can also work in the trade or enter the dark forest searching for herbs or hunt monsters and exchange them for spirit stones, but the best way is to become a disciple of a master or an elder in the academy."
Her last sentence was directed at Jin, who refused to be under the great mage's wing.
Jin sighed softly. Ten spirit stones were barely enough for his daily needs, which would be bad for his training.
"Looks like we should think of a way to collect spirit stones, but I'm tired of these infernal exercises,"
Du Bai said as he remembered the exercises he had been practicing for the past two days.
"I also feel tired and sleepy. I stayed up all night reading that book." Lian said
Jin turned toward Lian, who was stretching her arms, yawning, and asked her curiously.
"Which book?"
Lian turned her face away before muttering shyly out loud.
"Because you said that I should stay by your side, I read that silly book, 'How Men Think and How to Please Them'... Damn, was I speaking out loud?"
Everyone nodded in affirmative, while Lian lowered her face in embarrassment. Jin smiled and wanted to say that he didn't mean it literally, but Li Chui interrupted him.
"Ah… I forgot an important thing, the senior students will welcome you in their own way, so you should be careful."
Li Chui didn't finish her words before their group was surrounded by ten students.
"Ha… Do magic students also become involved in the new students' reception?"
A slightly fat young man addressed Li Chui with a fake smile, and Li Chui calmly replied to him.
"Before you think of doing anything stupid, take a good look around you, as Mount Tai stands in front of you with its white peak."
Li Choi said her words as she pointed toward Jin, everyone stared at Jin in amazement without understanding what she meant, but Du Bai and Lian burst out laughing.
"Ha-ha-ha… how did I not notice that? Your name is Tai Jin, just like Mount Tai, and your hair is as white as a snow-capped mountain peak."
Lian, who was holding her stomach, added while laughing.
"Du Bai, you'll spoil the joke if you explain it, don't do it again."
Jin's face frowns. He was usually the one who made fun of others. The worst part was that he was mocked by the polite magician Li Chui, and he replied sarcastically.
"Ha..ha.. so funny."
Li Chui tried to justify what she said. She didn't mean to make fun of Jin.
"I didn't mean to make fun of you. I just tried to warn them."
During the hysteria of laughter, the senior students were still standing, looking at each other. They didn't understand what was happening here before one of them remembered something and shouted.
"Tai… isn't that the newcomer's name who defeated Tang and his mates and sent them to the hospital several days ago."
The students' expressions changed upon hearing this. They had come here today to bully the new students and take away some of their spirit's stones, but their bad luck brought them before the white-haired demon. They had heard about his madness, cruelty, and his silver ball.
For them, Jin was like an invincible beast. He was a warrior and a mage. Not only did he defeat Tang, he nearly killed Shen Liu, one of the top 100 students in the academy, with a single blow.
Fortunately for them, Li Chui alerted them before they could say something that they would have regretted later.
The students retreated while pretending smiles on their faces and congratulations them on their success in joining the academy. But inside their hearts, they were praying for Li Chui with long life for saving their lives.
But they stopped when they saw a tall, handsome young man with long black hair, holding a fan in his hand and wearing luxurious clothes adorned with ornaments.
The young man was so elegant that he wore golden rings. He slowly walked up to them and looked at Jin with a look of superiority, scanning him from head to toe.
"So this is the famous newbie. I don't see any beauty or even elegance in him."
Then he turned to the old students to start speaking as if he was in the middle of a lecture.
"In our world, weapons are indispensable, whether ordinary, imperial or holy, but the most beautiful weapons are spiritual tools. Do you know that the spirits mirror is a spiritual tool that allows spiritualists to multiply their spirit form's strength? Let's take the example of the white-haired kid here. He could summon his spirit form before breaking through to the soul realm. However, his form lacked elegance and beauty, just like him. It was just a ball. Still, it became terrifying after being fortified with the power of the mirror."
Then he continued in a sarcastic tone, saying:
"He is now helpless after losing his magic ball. did you believe that a ridiculous, unknown, and ugly spirit form could be that strong without the help of the spirit's mirror? ... I wonder what will happen to him now while he is powerless and unsupported."
In an instant, everyone's expressions changed, and everyone had disdainful looks as they looked at Jin. The genius they were afraid of turned out to be a deceiver who enhanced his spirit form strength by using a spiritual tool which was the spirits mirror.
