60: Chapter 60 The Mysterious Academy Usher 60: Chapter 60 The Mysterious Academy Usher The Mystical School’s greeter was a young male First Rank Mage with black eyes, tousled brown hair, wearing the standard greeter’s robe, holding a wooden Magic Wand embedded with a glimring blue Crystal.
At that mont, he was slouched on a sofa in the Mystical School’s waiting area, casually twirling his Magic Wand in his hand, bored out of his wits while waiting for possible newcors.
Before Anvis’s arrival, no one had been in front of him.
In fact, within the entire Pamir Academy, the Mystical School was considered a very niche system.
Every year, there were only a handful of newcors, and they were mostly the offspring of minor Nobles and wealthy rchants.
Not everyone could be as prescient as Anvis, and most people who joined the Mystical School just ended up wasting their ti.
“Hello, excuse , is this the waiting area for the Mystical School?”
Upon hearing Anvis’s question, the young man did not look up, casually lifting his Magic Wand to point outside, answering in a habitual manner.
“You’re in the wrong place, this is the Mysterious…”
While speaking, the young man suddenly realized the situation, his head shooting up to look at Anvis.
“Wait!
You’re a newcor to the Mystical School?!”
“Yes, I am a newcor to the Mystical School.”
Anvis calmly looked at the young man before him, and after the initial surprise, the young greeter ca back to his senses, followed by a set of standard greeter’s spiels.
“Please wait here for a mont, once all the Mysterious System’s newcors have arrived, I will take you all together to the Mysterious and Relics Academy.”
“Okay.”
Anvis nodded and found a sofa to sit down on at random.
The full na of the Mysterious Academy was the Pamir Mysterious and Relics Academy.
It not only taught Mysticism but also included the content of Ruins Study.
Due to the special relationship between the two Schools and both being extrely niche,
The Academy simply rged the Ruins Study School with the Mystical School, eventually giving birth to the Mysterious and Relics Academy.
.….….
Pani was a descendant of a Viscount, and his family had also enjoyed a glorious period in the past.
With the blessing of his ancestors’ legacy, he was fortunate to enter Pamir Academy last year.
Due to his interests and Talent, he ultimately joined the Mysterious Academy.
However, as his Academy life continued, Pani soon discovered a problem.
Unlike in the outside world, Gold Coins were not very useful within the Academy.
Instead, Pamir had a unique Credits system.
Here, almost everything required Credits.
Whether it’s precious high-end Magic knowledge, powerful High Rank Spells, or various rare materials, Alchemy Potions, Magic Equipnt, etc…
all required Credits to exchange.
If one encountered any difficulties in learning, Credits could be spent to get personal guidance from seniors or even teachers of the sa School.
It was also possible to commission others to complete various Tasks in exchange for Credits.
Even the Academy’s accommodation was divided into three Levels, aside from the lowest tier multiple-occupancy dormitory being provided for free, the other two types of independent living accommodations also required Credits to lease.
In addition to the above three uses, Credits had one more crucial application—
The graduation certificate from Pamir Academy also needed to be exchanged with Credits!
Depending on the difficulty of earning Credits in different Schools, the number of Credits required for exchanging the graduation certificate also varied.
For example, the Mystical Academy’s graduation certificate had an exchange value of five thousand Credits, while the Shape Energy College was seven thousand Credits.
But the ti for advanced studies in Pamir Academy was limited, and if a newcor still hadn’t been able to exchange for their School’s graduation certificate after ten years from enrollnt, they would need to spend a thousand Credits to extend their term for five years.
If after five years, the total amount of Credits still did not et the exchange criteria, Pamir Academy would directly expel them.
For Pani, that was directly related to his inheritance rights within his family!
However, earning academic credits was not an easy feat.
With Anvis’s strength just reaching the First Rank when he enrolled, he was unable to complete the majority of tasks.
A small portion of the tasks he could handle were either too ti-consuming for little credit, or they were extrely sought-after, and he had no chance of taking them on.
In order to earn those precious credits, Anvis volunteered to take on the task of ntoring new students.
This task was available only once a year at each college, and the senior students would put it thus:
“This rare task that cos but once a year—”
“You’re the newcor, we can make way for you this year, but such good fortune will not co again next year!”
……
So Anvis, completely bamboozled, took the task from a senior in a daze.
Initially, he thought it was an easy task to scavenge for credits.
But the crux of the problem lay in the fact that the rewards for the task were determined by the number of new students ntored.
In other popular divisions, such as the Shape Energy or Transformation Colleges, this task would indeed cause a scramble, but as for the nearly deserted Mysterious and Relics Academy…
Naïve Anvis waited at the reception for several days, and with the arrival of a few Floating Ships, indeed so new students ca here.
But aside from one genuine Mystical School freshman, all the rest had taken a wrong turn!
For the first two days, he felt a small thrill at being a guide.
But now, he only felt like a foolish Luo Luo Beast.
That was several days of ti!
He could have audited several open classes or spent it learning a new Spell, but now he could only waste it waiting in vain!
Even taking up the lowest-value tasks like cleaning the campus would bring in much more profit than the current situation!
Dear seniors, may your Magic experints always fail!
May others snatch away your tasks!
May you never pass your advancent exams!
May your creations be ruined!
May you hiccup in the middle of chanting Spells!
……
Soon, all the new students disembarked from the Floating Ships.
Seeing that there was indeed not another newcor, Anvis sighed, stood up leaning on his Magic Wand, and managed to squeeze out a polite smile.
“Alright, follow now.”
Anvis, who already knew the routine, also stood up and silently followed behind.
The pigeon on his shoulder looked around curiously, seeming to find it quite fascinating.
Before long, the two of them arrived at a platform to the side of the dock.
On the platform ground, there were many separated Engraving Arrays, so of which were in operation with disc-shaped objects floating above them.
These Floating Discs varied in size and were all a silver-grey color, with their surfaces marked by intricate circuits of Inscriptions, which gave them a very Mysterious appearance.
Floating Disc Square, it’s been so long…
“That is a Floating Disc, a ans of transportation within Pamir Academy.
Given the vastness of the academy, taking them is the most convenient way to reach various parts of the academy before we acquire the ability to fly independently,” Anvis explained when he noticed Anvis’s gaze lingering on the discs.
Many new students from common or lower noble families had never seen Alchemy Floating Discs before coming to the academy, so it was normal for them to find it novel upon first seeing them.
Anvis was like that when he first ca, and now he assud Anvis was one of them.
“This way.”
Saying so, he led Anvis onto a special large-scale Floating Disc.
Standing in the center of the Floating Disc, Anvis took out a badge with the academy’s emblem, into which he channeled a strand of spiritual power.
With his action, the emblem on the badge emitted a faint mysterious light.
The inscription circuits on the surface of the disc were imdiately activated, and a special force field enveloped the area above the Floating Disc.
Afterward, the Floating Disc lifted into the air, reaching tens of ters high, and then it accelerated instantly, speeding towards the direction of the Mysterious Academy, flying past one ancient and beautiful building after another.
