Currently, across the world, many outstanding youths were rushing toward Neon to enroll in the two super academies, those who couldn't have the chance to attend weaker academies. Every prince and princess was rushing to those two academies as well.
In the elven continent, Thysalen, the sole princess of the Havans Empire, Alvinia Nui Yyddrasil, was about to depart to the Heaven Star Academy together with her childhood friend. The princess was of otherworldly beauty, long golden hair reaching her back and a pair of emerald eyes; she was there, but at the same time, she seemed unreachable.
Behind her stood a girl with slightly dark skin; she was a beautiful girl with white hair tied in a ponytail green eyes; she was dressed in black shorts pants showing her tanned legs with a white top tank barely covering her rather big breasts ( D cup).
''Big sister, I can't wait any longer; let's leave.'' The dark elf, whose name was Delia, urged Alvinia to depart toward Neon; they were about to board an airship powered by origin stone.
''Okay, Delia, let's go. I can't wait to see her.'' Alvinia said before boarding the airship, and Delia soon followed. She was curious about her sister's friend; she refused to tell who it was.
''Soon, I'll know, but I'm sure it is one of the princesses,'' Delia mumbled as the airship started to fly higher and higher until it disappeared from the Havans Empire sky.

Known as one of the mothers of talents, the Heaven Star Academy was the number one magical institution in the world, with the Saint Star Academy being the second best, the two academies were founded by the first emperor and the Council to assess and groom the new generations of origin masters.
As an institution located on an island northwest of the Imperial City, the Heaven Star Academy naturally stood hundred of kilometers away from the core city of the imperial city, Neon. Applicants from foreign nations typically made the trip in flying vessels, airships powered by origin stone reactors, and used for both offensive, defensive, and recreational purposes.
Orpheus and Amber arrived on the island northwest of the imperial city using an origin car; on their way here, Amber kept looking at everything with curiosity; everyone could see it was the little vampire's first time coming here. Amber had thought she would encounter the twins' goddesses again, but unfortunately, they were nowhere to be found as though they had disappeared.
The Heaven Star Academy was truly majestic, the world's most robust academy; it was so big that it seemed like a city, two imposing golden doors on which the words here lie the strongest academy: The Heaven Star Academy. After showing their application, the two were authorized to enter, someone directed them toward their temporary dormitories. Naturally, dormitories were separated into boy dormitory and girl's dormitory.
Because class had not begun yet, they were only assigned to temporarily dormitories until class began in two days, and most of the students would have been enrolled by then. Because Orpheus and Amber used a connection, the highest level only those royalty use they didn't need to pass tests before becoming students. They would be assigned to the same class as the princes and princesses, the special class, the S class.
''The moment he gave those two envelopes, I knew this would happen,'' Orpheus mumbled, but he was not against this arrangement as it was exactly what he wanted.
Orpheus left his dormitory to go take some fresh air, and two hours later, he came back. His dormitory was on the top floor. Finally, he remembered the student code they received. It was a small booklet; he decided to read.
Anyway, Orpheus was free and at leisure presently. Therefore, he simply sat at the desk and opened the first page of the code.
The first chapter of the code was about the omnipotence of credits.
Nothing except credits were omnipotent, be it power, wealth, or origin master.
At the Heaven Star Academy, credits meant everything. The academy was really big with many exceptional things. Training bases existed; there were also many recreational areas for the students on this island. All recreational venues were available, including shopping malls, karaoke bars, and pubs. To all the students' surprise, there was even a small amusement park in the academy.
They needed to pay for all these with credits rather than money.
Money was of no use here, and credit was the only currency in circulation.
The only way to obtain the basic necessities of life was through credits.
Similarly, the number of credits was the only criterion to judge a student's performance.
In the first month when the classes began, any freshman would have 60 credits. But none of them could be used at their disposal.
Because they could not even live in the dormitory for free.
They had to pay a credit per day if they lived in the dormitory, paying 30 credits a month. Besides, taking the school origin super train or car to and fro between different training grounds would cost them 15 credits a month. They had to use the remaining 15 credits to purchase a series of daily necessities, especially food. That was because there was no canteen but only restaurants inside the Heaven Star Academy. And having a meal in restaurants would also consume their credits. How many credits one had to pay was directly related to what he ate.
In other words, a student had to obtain at least 60 credits a month to survive at the Heaven Star Academy in the absence of any recreation or other activities.
Whoever could not fill up the hole within the required time after the credits he/she possessed became a negative number would be disqualified as a student. This meant he/she would have been expelled from the school.
A student who was rejected by the Heaven Star Academy basically lost his future.
Credit was as much about the future as it was about survival.
The Heaven Academy and the Saint Star Academy adopted the credit system and three-year curriculum. In three years, any student, no matter how short he had stayed in the academy, could graduate from the Heaven Star Academy in advance as long as he possessed enough credits.
7,000 credits.
This was the minimum number of credits that they were required if they would like to graduate from the Heaven Star Academy.
The graduation of the Academy was divided into three grades: low graduated, normal graduated, and perfectly graduated.
7,000 credits enabled a student to graduate barely.
If a student wanted to graduate normally, he had to possess 10,000 credits.
And perfect graduation would cost a student 20,000 credits!
Within three years, the students who had accumulated the most credits among the perfect graduates were qualified to create their own forces.
''Interesting!"
