Chapter 55 Schedule

'Hmm? There are only morning classes?' Vale mused as he saw the scheduled subjects.

He is currently seated in the third row near the open window and beside him was Chad Bulmung.

The latter also has similar thoughts as he muttered softly…

"This is not even a whole day class… We have plenty of time during the afternoon."

On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, there would be four classes.

Oardic and Soineti from 6 to 8 AM. Intermediate Arithmetic from 8 to 9 AM. Fundamentals of the Magic Zone from 9:30 to 11 AM, and Physical and Health Education from 11 AM to 1 PM.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, there would be four classes as well.

Elementary Spirit Law from 6 to 8 AM. Basic Usage of Mystical Artifacts from 8 to 9 AM. Music and Arts from 9 to 10 AM and Darkness Path from 10:30 to 12:30 PM.

Finally, there is also a class on Saturdays and it's only in the afternoon.

It is Millton Kingdom's History from 1 PM to 2 PM and Essential Dark Spell from 2 PM to 4 PM.

'Why did they have to sneak in a schedule on Saturdays? Can't they just add it on Friday afternoon or any other weekday?' Vale frowned as he checked the daily schedule.

He didn't mind the number of classes but it doesn't seem properly distributed in his opinion.

'What are we going to do for the rest of the day then?'

As he reached his thoughts, Professor Harwin continued.

"There will be no classes for today. However, after you leave this room, you are obligated to visit the assembly hall and join any of the student clubs… Your seniors are waiting there right now. You have to enter any of the clubs within this week."

"Professor Harwin, can we join two or more clubs?" One of the female students asked.

"You can. However, you have to ensure that you'll be taking them seriously. Emily Gainet, are you planning to join two or more clubs?" Professor Harwin asked.

With this question, almost everyone glanced in Emily's direction.

This action seem to have put pressure on her as she stiffened for a moment before answering. "Not really, Professor. I just spoke to a few seniors a while ago and all of them are inviting me to join their club…"

Vale nodded after hearing this. Emily looks quite beautiful so it wasn't surprising that she was immediately recruited.

Professor Harwin wasn't surprised as well as she added… "You may only be first years but you already have a chance of earning contribution points. These points may not be useful in your first three years but when you accumulate plenty enough, you'll be benefiting a lot once you've stepped into your fourth year."

"May I ask what can we do with the contribution points?" A male student in front asked.

Professor Harwin didn't immediately answer as she creased her eyebrows while looking at the student.

"Alvin… Vendel, right?" She asked.

It seems that she was trying to recall everyone's name.

"You're correct, Professor."

"Mhmm… The contribution points would be very useful in your fourth year when you choose your branch of specialization. Of course, you don't have to think of it for now… That will still take quite some time. Many of you might even quit or be expelled in the first three years." Professor Harwin said with a knowing smile on her face.

"Ahh? We can be expelled?"

"I didn't hear about this… Isn't it enough to survive that Darkness Possession?"

"Professor, what are the grounds for expulsion?"

"Yes… We're curious. Can you please let us know?"

Almost everyone wasn't aware of this policy so they curiously asked the kind professor.

She didn't think too long since it is also one of the things she has to mention…

"I'm sure that you can easily guess the answer. You will be graded based on the results of your examinations, attendance, behavior, and a few more things as you finish your first year. There are written and practical examinations and all of this will greatly affect your final score. Failing most of them can lead to your expulsion… I'm telling you now that you may want to enjoy your academy life but ensure that you can pass all the requirements that the Academy is expecting of you."

She then paused for a moment before looking at a red-haired female student behind Vale.

"Lisa Grayback… Can you guess what other reasons can someone be expelled?"

After being asked, almost everyone glanced in her direction. Some were curious why she was specifically asked. As for the others, they simply wanted to admire her looks since she appears quite charming.

Lisa didn't expect to be asked as well. She unconsciously stood up after being called as her mind raced to find an answer.

"I think we can also be expelled if we disregard the Academy Rules. One of them is regarding violence… There's also about bullying, stealing, or even unsupervised ritual. We are not allowed to summon a mysterious existence through a ritual… unless a professor or someone with authority is watching."

Professor Stella Harwin nodded. She was satisfied with this answer as she allowed Lisa to take a seat.

"Well said… These Academy Rules are written on a stele at the entrance of the Academy's main hall. You may want to check it if you have some time."

Noticing that no one has other questions, the Professor continued.

"Lisa Grayback is the only student who passed the Public Recruitment in the southern region of the kingdom. She's expecting a lot from you who had a deeper background in the world of mysticism so I hope that you won't disappoint her."
