Unlike the top six elite schools, the second-tier academies tend to emphasize vocational specialization and require extrely high scores and abilities. They represent the ceiling that average people without extraordinary talent can reach. Even so, students who can enter these academies usually co from families that aren't poor, since the threshold for admission in terms of scores and abilities also demands the investnt of excellent educational resources.
Apart from the aforentioned four, many of the academies ranked 11-20 are also focused on strong vocational fields. For instance, Heghaus Academy, ranked twelfth, primarily trains industrial designers; Fasiting Academy, ranked fourteenth, cultivates talents in aesthetics, many of whom are artists; the fifteenth-ranked academy specializes in Enchantnt Branding Pattern Masters; while Yuanting Academy, ranked seventeenth, specializes in breeders.
So may wonder about the future prospects of students from the top six academies if they're not focused on any particular field or profession.
The answer is quite simple: they go on to college for further studies.
Those who get into the top six academies usually possess exceptional talent. With their transcendent abilities, they can gain an advantage in any field over ordinary people. These students are held to higher expectations, and their future is not limited to the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain. They need not worry about entering the workforce to make money too soon and have the luxury to choose and observe their options.
Having such recognized and socially indulged, tolerant identities is sothing countless peers long for and envy, but in the end, only a few can enjoy it. Many students are already half-stepping into society after entering high school, starting to worry about life after graduation.
College education is a luxury, and the requirents in terms of grades, ability, and tuition can be daunting for the average person.
After getting through the first day of adaptation, Tilan and l's itinerary at Tri-Phase Moon Academy quickly arrived at the second and third day.
During these two days, they followed Emity around the entire academy, and, under the arrangent of their fellow students, they sat in on several classes.
Unlike Edith Academy's educational environnt, the students at Tri-Phase Moon Academy are all boarders and have to be present for each class because there are not many older, qualified witches with the strength to be everywhere at once. To conserve energy, students must be punctual to class.
Edith Academy, on the other hand, is much more extravagant. Students can find a classroom and a teacher whenever they wish to attend a class, even in the middle of the night, as there will always be an on-duty teaching ntor available. Their educational resources are extrely abundant.
Though having to be punctual for classes is sowhat restrictive, it undoubtedly brings students closer together. Living in close quarters makes it easier to form friendships, but of course, it also makes conflicts more likely, as evidenced by the situation Tilan is observing at the mont.
"Emity! Tonight in the Blood Begonia Forest, don't let down."
After class, just as the three were about to leave, a short-haired, coffee-colored girl stopped in front of Emity. She was slender, but her dress and deanor exuded a sharp and valiant air that made her stand out among the witches.
After saying her piece, the coffee-colored haired girl gestured and then turned and walked away, with a companion following by her side.
"Who is she?" asked l, puzzled.
"She's my rival," Emity explained with a slightly helpless spread of her hands.
"In Tri-Phase Moon Academy, due to differences in studies and philosophies, it's very common to encounter clashing ideologies. The school spirit here ans witches tend to be self-assertive, which in plain terms ans they are quite stubborn and not easily swayed. This leads to daily argunts and debates."
"Argunt leads to anger, and anger leads to fights. What that girl said to earlier ans we have a duel tonight in the Blood Begonia Forest."
"What happens if you lose?" asked l curiously.
"You get beaten up and then you have to refrain from expressing your opinions and views in front of her, staying silent for a month," Emity said, referring to the school's customary practice.
"If one day I feel my ability is sufficient, I can challenge her again to prove myself and make her back down."
"Her na is Sha Lin; she's a classmate. Our dispute started last year over a history lesson on the division among ancient witches. My view was completely different from hers, leading to an escalated argunt, and thus the rivalry began."
"We've fought a few tis before with mixed results since our abilities are quite similar; the outco often hinges on unexpected factors, making each confrontation decidedly narrow, with neither willing to concede."
"Her challenging now probably ans she's learned so new moves and techniques and wants to test them on ," Emity quickly analyzed.
"So, Emity, do you feel confident about winning?" Tilan asked, now showing interest.
"Well, it's hard to say because I don't know what she's prepared. But I haven't been idle, my strength has grown over this ti too."
"None of the students at Tri-Phase Moon Academy are afraid of confrontation. Even if they were, after four years here, they've learned to cope with all sorts of conflicts. A fight isn't a big deal; sotis it even leads to friendship."
"Can we watch the duel tonight?" l continued to inquire.
"Sure, several students from our class will co to observe, too. Watching is also a form of learning."
"Then, Emity, you should prepare well today; you don't need to accompany us this afternoon."
The three of them chatted for a while longer before parting ways. Emity went off to prepare, while Tilan and l went to the academy's library to browse through the academy's history and books, deepening their understanding.
