Chapter 13

Cecile having relaxed completely said with her clear and cold voice like she was reading it from a book “The Rising talent academy is an independent state that appeared one day 1700 years ago between the three empires occupying one-tenth of each of them. At first, they tried to take it back, but, when the headmaster descended on the battlefield the three Emperors of that time decided to retreat”

Cecile continued “It is said that they thanked the heavens that she only took one-tenth and that she wasn’t a vengeful person. For the next months, a ton of congratulatory presents arrived from different empires and nearby sects, and like that, The Rising talent academy was established.”

Seeing that they were paying attention she continued in a monotonous voice “It accepts disciples from everywhere in the world, and is very famous for gathering a lot of talented youths from the surrounding Empires, Kingdoms, and sects. The facilities are one of the best of sky continent, having training areas for all elemental attributes.”

“They have a ton of resources and have always entrance slots in almost all the secret realms that appear in the Sky continent. This is thanks to the Headmaster, Elders, and teachers who have a lot of strength and control different businesses in the different empires and kingdoms, providing alchemy pills, formations, and blacksmith products.”

Cecile said a little thoughtfully “It is said, that this makes everyone hate and love the academy at the same time. There isn’t anybody that wants to provoke them for fear of getting blacklisted and deprived of their products.”

Cecile then explained the infrastructure of the Academy. “The academy state is divided by mortals and cultivators, and inside the cultivator section, there is the Cultivation branch, alchemy branch, formation branch, and the blacksmithing branch. There is also a student list in each class and you can get more resources the higher you are ranked. There are tournaments, excursions, secret realms explorations, cultivation areas for each element, and a mission hall.”

“The Contribution Points or credits, are the currency in the academy and can be gained by different methods: beast nucleus, rare plants or metals; bets, advancing in the Sky piercing tower, setting stalls, every time you reach a new position in the student list, finally, completing missions.” Yasenia was amused by this block of ice tirade. She looked very cute in her tirade.

Cecile was a little flustered by Yasenia’s teasing stare but continued, “The living quarters at first are shared. Then, you can get better accommodation either by paying credits or advancing in the class levels. The class levels are like the rainbow: red lowest then orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet or purple being the best class. Cultivation classes are always in the morning and the others are in the afternoon.”

Yasenia laughed and Oliver looked at her stupefied. ‘We didn’t ask so much!’ Oliver stuttered a little and said “T-Thank you for sharing” Cecile answered with a nod “En.” Yasenia continued to laugh a little and asked “What class are you in?”

Cecile said “Violet Cultivation class” Yasenia opened her mouth completely surprised “So you are a genius cultivator!” Cecile calmly spoke, “I’m not.”

Yasenia was not convinced so asked, “What rank are you inside your class then?” Cecile again said with a deadpan expression “First” Yasenia and Oliver looked at her imitating Cecile’s deadpan expression, thinking seriously about opening her head and wanting to see how her brain works!

This is why people that don’t know what to do with their lives, actually become slaves willingly to have food and a cottage. Finally, when a slave starts his or her cultivation path and reaches the Mental nourishing realm this kind of mark becomes ineffective and the slave can end the contract themselves.

Yasenia didn’t know all of this but right now even if she learned about it, she would be interested and nothing more. Yasenia wasn’t a hero nor a villain, she had her own interest and she won’t deviate a lot from them for unrelated people.

Yasenia went out of the inn with Oliver and they went to the Cultivation branch of the academy. During these months Yasenia has tried learning formations, alchemy, or blacksmithing but she wasn’t talented in either of them. So, she will concentrate on cultivation and learn the general knowledge and how to defend against them.

When they reached the exam site it was filled with people, participants as many as stars in the sky. There were a lot of tables doing the preliminary selection, they were checking age, cultivation realm, level, and constitution. The attributes are considered part of the skill set of the cultivators and they let them have secrets.

They put themselves on the shortest line and waited for their turn. After some hours it was finally their turn. First, it was Oliver. “Fourth level of the body modification realm, age 22 years old, constitution [Sea freezing wolf]”

“Not bad, the fourth level of the second realm and he is so young!”

“His constitution is rare, second strongest in the freezing wolf category, only bested by the [ocean freezing wolf]”

The murmurs continued for a moment until they set their sights on the next person. The tall female walked towards the tables with her long legs, her face carrying the natural air of seduction with a slight smile on her lips. Behind her, the slowly swishing tail made S-like slow movements.

She reached the front of the table and spoke “Will you begin my evaluation senior sister?” The senior sister responded stuttering “Y-Yes please put your hand here” Yasenia gave her a small smile and did as she was told.

The one who was in charge of announcing opened his eyes and said “Second level of the Body Modification realm! 19 years of age! Constitution [Celestial Yin and Yang body]!” The people around directly exploded.

“Second realm and 19 years old!? Is something wrong with the measuring device!?”

“This is the first time I hear [Celestial Yin and Yang body]! Does anyone know about this?”

“I want to know her attributes! If they are good, she will be an absolute monster!”

Yasenia calmly turned and went where Oliver was. Then, they entered the examination ground, then started looking around for Cecile. ‘Didn’t she say that she will be here? She wasn’t at any of the tables and she isn’t in here either...’ Since Cecile wasn’t here, she started to speak with Oliver while waiting for the examination to start.
