Chapter 80 The Felharo Desert

Zick changed his clothes to a comfortable shirt and pants, then continued training in his aura.

Zick only went down once to eat his dinner, it was stew with many side dishes. After that he trained till midnight before starting to sleep, laying upon his new king size bed.

In just a few hours, Zick woke up from his slumber. Feeling that it was still in the middle of the night, he could only try to fall asleep again.

'I want to sleep more...' To Zick sleep was a means to pass his time but his body wouldn't allow him to sleep for long.

Seeing that he couldn't fall asleep, Zick sat crossed leg on the bed and started training. There was still a lot of time before the administrative centre of the academy opened.

They usually start working from early hours in the morning as there are just too many people who try to get admitted at this time of the year.

Zick started thinking about the academy while still training in his aura.

There are many courses in the academy that could be picked. Spear arts, swords art, military arts, archery, ranger, enchantment, alchemy, magic, it was even possible to take classes about land management and governing skills.

It is only possible to choose any three from the above courses. Once chosen it was not possible to change the course, only at the end of that year in the academy is it possible to change it.

Leaving those three courses, all the students will have to attend history, basic calculation and physical classes compulsorily. But failing in a theoretical test like this wouldn't get a person expelled.

In the academy, practical tests were the main focus.

There would be a test at the end every month, the practical exam were most of the time performed out of the Academic city. In the forest, mountains, desert.....

Thinking this, suddenly Zick remembered the incident where Aeiron met the dark elves who lived in the north desert named Felharo.

In this incident, Aeiron had saved one of the dark elves who had gotten hurt fighting a demonic monster. Though he was still not welcomed by the dark elves in the end. He still gained a mana Elixir from the person he saved. If Hester who had eaten a piece of dragon heart had been with him, the result might have been different.

This incident couldn't be said to be important to Aeiron, but it was very important to the first continent as they were able to find out about the demonic race invading the desert.

'',

'This incident happened in the seventh month of the academy.' Zick put this train of thought at the back of his head and continued thinking about the academy.

The practical test came in many forms, fighting monsters, survival, scouting and many more. If a student fails in any three of the practical tests in the same year, they would be kicked out immediately.

The theory test could be said as important and unimportant at the same time. The theory test affects the grade of a person, so the people with ambition to become a noble will have to take care of their theory grades too.

After all, the academy can't just make an idiot into a noble. Doing that would damage its reputation and also cause suffering for the people under a noble like that.

Getting high grades also gives the student many privileges in the Academic city.

Violence isn't prohibited, but killing and causing a life threatening injury would be punished. But they can't sentence noble sons and daughters to death.

The academy had to make such a rule if not all the commoners would be hesitant in sending their sons and daughters into the academy.

There were no weekend holidays in the academy, as the term 'week' didn't even exist in this world. But the term 'month' and 'year' existed, though it was different from earth.

In every month there are 32 days in this world. The year was the same as earth leaving that there was some difference in days.

The academy would give three days off after the end of a month after the test ends.

Time passed by quickly while Zick was lost in his thoughts about the academy. Feeling the sun rising, he started changing his clothes.

Zick just wore a comfortable white shirt with full sleeves and formal black pants. He only had a dozen clothes like this, but he didn't care about it.

Zick could keep his clothes in a perfect and clean state using magic. He wore a black jacket over his shirt. After fixing his hair a little while looking in the mirror, he started moving towards the ground floor, where Butler Von was preparing his breakfast.

Arriving at the dining hall, Zick could see Butler Von bowing towards.

With an indifferent look, Zick sat upon one of the chairs at the table and looked at the feast which didn't look like a breakfast at all on the table.

Seeing the expensive white plates and cups even he didn't know where they came from. Not saying anything, Zick started eating one of the sausages in front of him. He didn't know from which animal or monster this sausage was made from, but it was very juicy and tasty.

He continues eating the salad and meat after it. Finishing up the delicious breakfast, Zick got up from the dining table.

'',

"I am going to the administrative centre of the academy, take care of the mansion." Turning his back to Butler Von, Zick started walking out of the dining hall.

"Yes and the oath seal you asked for would be ready before you come back."

Hearing this, Zick nodded his head towards Butler Von and continued walking out of the mansion.

Opening the door, Zick walked towards the gate in front of him. The sun had already risen, illuminating the surroundings in bright light.

Seeing Zick walking towards them, the guards opened the gate immediately. Zick started heading towards the mana train station following his memories.

Arriving at the mana train station, Zick brought a ticket for the central district, It was also known as the middle section of the Academic city. Surprisingly, the ticket cost him 50 gold coins, with this much amount a commoner could live his life for a few weeks without a worry.

A train was already present in the station before he even reached there so he didn't have to wait.

Entering the train, Zick sat upon one of the seats. The train started moving within a minute.

'I will choose sword art and enchantment as my courses. I can choose another one but there is no need for it.' Staring out of the window, Zick waited patiently for the Central district to arrive.

The mana train stopped in several stations before it reached the Central district.

Getting off the train, Zick started heading out of the station. There were dozens of people who also got down from the train at the same time as him.

More than a station, it looked like a huge house reaching five stories high. The whole building was made of white marbles.

Out of the station, the environment and atmosphere was totally different from the other districts. No stall was present in front of Zick, even the people walking here were sparser.

There was only a single road made of tiles before Zick, it led towards another huge building.

Not hesitating, Zick started walking towards the huge building through the road. He knew what that building was.

'The administrative centre.'
