The Ethereal Academic classes ran smoothly up until lunch, which was the only time when students could socialize with one another in the five enormous academic buildings, each measuring 35,000 square feet on the inside. These weren't just any old buildings, though; they were designed with the express intent of raising and educating the awakened. These were humans with amazing skills and abilities, and it was their responsibility to keep humanity safe from the constant threat posed by creatures from the dimensional rift.
Grandpa Tang and Grandma Mao made the decision to offer the landowner a substantial sum of money as compensation for the reported dimensional rift that broke out at the Liu Chen basement a few years prior, upsetting many homes in the neighborhood. However, as everyone knows, Ramiel's unbridled power burst rather than a rift, and Guan Yu used his influence to conceal the truth while simultaneously taking advantage of the situation to construct an underground sub facility in the abandoned house and lands purchased by Fu Xi Shi Corporation.
The academy was laid out in a straightforward manner. The open training field and training gymnasium were located in the northern section; they were built inside an artificial small forest that was also used for tactical survival lessons. The main entrance and exit were located in the eastern section, where a single structure stood.
This was the entrance way leading to the underground railway that went fifty meters beneath Liu Chen's newly acquired land and toward the sub-facility managed by Annisha Hartono, a well-known and respected Indonesian Ethereal League captain who specialized in architectural designs.
The academic buildings, each floor devoted to a different discipline like mathematics, military science, mythology, literature, or history, were situated in the central area of the Ethereal Academy. expertise in both close-quarters and long-range shooting, weapon training, and mane and spell tactics. creating potions, forging,
The classrooms were equipped with state-of-the-art technology, making learning more engaging and interactive. The layout of the academy was designed to encourage students to explore and discover their interests,
with various clubs and extracurricular activities available for them to join. The southern part of the academy housed the dormitories for students who lived on campus. The dorms were located at the separate underground sub facility, it was spacious and modern, providing a comfortable living space for the students.
The academy also had a large cafeteria that served a variety of delicious and healthy meals, catering to different dietary needs and preferences. During lunch break, students would gather in the cafeteria, chatting and laughing as they enjoyed their meals. It was a time for students to relax and bond with their classmates, creating friendships and memories that would last a lifetime.
The Ethereal Academic classes were not just about academic excellence, but also about fostering a sense of community and camaraderie among the students. The academy was a place where students could not only learn, but also grow and develop into well-rounded individuals. It was a place where students could pursue their dreams and aspirations, supported by a dedicated team of teachers and staff who were passionate about nurturing young minds.
Inside the walls of these grand structures, students from all over the world gathered to learn and hone their skills. Every corner of the buildings exuded an otherworldly energy, filled with the whispers of knowledge and the promise of greatness. It was a place where the ordinary became extraordinary, where the impossible became possible.
The curriculum at the Ethereal Academy was simple but rigorous and demanding, but the students were up for the challenge. They were taught how to control and harness their powers, how to defend themselves and others, and how to navigate through the treacherous dimensional rifts. The teachers were themselves awakened individuals, with years of experience and wisdom to impart upon their eager students.
But beyond just teaching practical skills, the Ethereal Academic buildings also instilled in their students a strong sense of duty and responsibility. They were reminded every day that their powers came with a purpose - to protect humanity from the relentless attacks of the dimensional rift monsters. It was a heavy burden to bear, but one that the students willingly took on, fueled by their determination to make the world a safer place.
As the students trained and learned, the buildings themselves seemed to come alive with the energy of their efforts. The walls glowed with a soft ethereal light, and the air hummed with the power of the awakened. It was a place of mystery and wonder, where anything seemed possible.
it was a sanctuary for the awakened. They provided a few sub facility within the area as safe haven for those who were often feared and misunderstood in the outside world. Here, they were surrounded by others who shared their abilities and understood their struggles. It was a community unlike any other, bound together by their common purpose and their unbreakable bond.
And so, as the students graduated from the Ethereal Academy, they left with not just the knowledge and skills to protect humanity, but also with a sense of belonging and purpose. They were no longer just individuals with extraordinary powers, but they were part of a larger force, united in their mission to defend mankind.
at the same time lunch break has started, Amahle Zadzisai guided Ramiel toward the most important part of the overall Ethereal Academic experience, where students could recharge and connect with their peers before returning to their studies, ready to take on the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead.
but as soon as he step out o f their class room, Ariella Laila was their and greeted her brother this supprice Amahle, she didnt expect Ramiel was related to Ariella who also a student, even if she was just seven years old she was already gaining attention from other teachers because of her achivements,
Ramiel class was similar being in senior high school, while Ariella Laila was a elementary student, Despite the age difference, Ariella Laila's intelligence and accomplishments were already setting her apart from her peers. Her teachers were amazed by her advanced knowledge and abilities, and they often sought her out for help with difficult concepts. It was clear that Ariella Laila had a bright future ahead of her, and Amahle couldn't help but feel proud to get to know to such a talented young girl.
Ariella Laila grabbed his brother's arm and stared at Amahle. She noticed she was a bit upset to see her beside her older brother. She wondered what could have caused Ariella to be upset and decided to approach her gently. Amahle asked if everything was alright and if there was anything she could do to help.
Ariella Laila told her that she was just protecting her brother from people he did not knew at all, as they made her feel uncomfortable. She explained that she had a strong sense of loyalty towards her family and wanted to ensure their safety. Amahle nodded understandingly, appreciating Ariella's protective nature, and assured her that she would always be there to support and assist her whenever needed.
Ramiel brushes her sister's hair and formally introduces Amahle to her as his classmate and a new friend. He expressed his gratitude for Ariella's concern and emphasized how important it was for him to gain new friends within the same age group as him.
Amahle smiled warmly, feeling touched by Ramiel's words. Ariella nodded in appreciation and smiled as she dragged her brother toward the main cafeteria so they could eat lunch and introduce him to her own friends, who were excited to meet Ramiel. As they walked towards the cafeteria, Ariella couldn't help but feel proud of her brother's willingness to make new connections. She knew that this would be a great opportunity for Ramiel to expand his social circle and have a memorable high school experience.
Amahle also felt a sense of excitement as she was introduced to Ariella's two best friends, Sara and Rose, who were the same age as her, and got to know them better. Ramiel, on the other hand, was a bit nervous because he grew up differently in a world filled with war and magic.
Slowly, they struck up a conversation. Sara and Rose asked Ramiel about his interests, and then they started sharing their own. But everything he said was a bit withheld, telling them the real story was too unrealistic; even his sister, who heard this, was taken back due to the fact she was still just seven years old and had a limited understanding of the complexities of war. Ramiel chose to focus on his love for storytelling, allowing him to connect with her friends through their shared passion as humanly and earthly as possible.
Ramiel was also taken back by how mature his seven-year-old sister was. He smiled a bit, thinking he was also lying that he was younger than her before, but now he realizes that she has grown up faster than he had anticipated. He admired her ability to grasp the nuances of the world around her at such a young age, and it made him proud to see her develop into a thoughtful and insightful individual.
The cafeteria's cuisine was incredibly nutritious and tasty, and Ramiel noticed that most kids were content with the selections available and enjoying their meals. He couldn't help but be grateful for the effort made to serve the pupils excellent and healthy meals, since this demonstrated the school's dedication to their welfare.
However, despite everything, some people continued to feel uncomfortable and unsatisfied with their meals. Ramiel questioned whether the cafeteria workers could take into account any particular dietary requirements or preferences in order to better serve these people. Amahle noticed that Ramiel was interested in what was going on at the other table. She informed Ramiel that since the students were born into wealthy and powerful families, they were raised to be extremely spoiled and pampered, and when they learned they were being awakened, their egos and attitudes just grew larger.
Even with all the advice from instructors and staff, Amahle noted that the kids in question frequently utilized their privileged backgrounds as a means of asserting dominance and superiority over others.
She mentioned that a student social hierarchy had been developed. It was difficult for people from less wealthy families to feel included or respected because of this social stratification, which persisted despite the best efforts of educators and personnel.
A group of five arrogant students, nearly the same age as Ramiel and Amahle, came up to their table and proceeded to mock and belittle Amahle alone, making derogatory comments about her backgrounds and financial situations.
This only further reinforced the divide between privileged students and those from less affluent families, creating a hostile environment for those who didn't fit into the social hierarchy. Despite the ongoing efforts of educators and staff, it seemed that these arrogant students were determined to maintain their dominance and perpetuate the exclusion of others.
One even pointed out that in the coming academic awakening ceremony, their group will continue to beat the Amahle team, despite her hard work and dedication. This added insult to injury, as it showed a complete disregard for Amahle's abilities and undermined her confidence even further.
The toxic behavior of these privileged students only served to deepen the divide and make it even more difficult for students like Amahle to feel accepted and valued.
Soon, they left. They wanted to insult the new student, but their leader decided to give him a break just this once so he could taste what it meant to be given this charity and become a student. Here, Ramiel just smiled and stared at them, but something made them feel uneasy. The arrogant student leader was temporarily paralyzed to the spot, Ramiel's menacing aura holding him in a tightening grip.
As Ramiel's presence continued to slowly intimidate the other arrogant student, the other students began to exchange nervous glances, realizing that their attempt to insult had backfired. The atmosphere grew tense as Ramiel's silence spoke volumes, leaving them with a sense of unease and regret for their actions. They could feel the weight of their words hanging in the air, knowing that they had underestimated the new student. It was a humbling moment for the students, as they realized that true power lies not in arrogance but in his quiet confidence.
When they walked away, Ariella Laila kept eating her apple pie and told his brother that she couldn't wait to get older so she could take care of these people. Ramiel grinned and nodded in agreement. Ariella Laila openly mentioned not to get affected by those types of people because they still care about status even when the world is in danger. He was aware of Ariella's strong sense of justice and her unwavering will to defend her convictions.
After consoling Amahle Zadzisai, Ramiel questioned her calmly, "What are they talking about?" Amahle explained that this academy doesn't actually give final exams to be completed on paper; instead, students present their skills and abilities in groups and individually in an actual battle, fully demonstrating what they had learned in class. Several organizations from the Ethereal Guilds were also invited to attend, observe, and scout potential Guild members.
Amahle Zadzisai's group was severely outperformed in the most recent test, and many of her teammates decided to leave her and join other teams that had a better chance of earning a passing mark. As a result, she was by herself today, and no one wanted to join her because her team is constantly being targeted by those who coincidentally received high test scores. Out of the group, two members were dominating the assessment test for two years in a row.
Amahle Zadzisai told Ramiel that it's difficult to get a high point if you are just one person fighting hordes of artificial or robotic monsters., and the assessment test was just a month from now, and she was feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. She knew that without a strong team to support her, it would be nearly impossible to succeed against the powerful opponents they would face in the assessment test.
Soon the bell rang, lunch break was over, and everybody started to go back to their respective class rooms. Amahle sighed as she watched her classmates disperse and head back to their respective classrooms. She couldn't help but feel a pang of envy as she saw them laughing and chatting with their friends, knowing that she didn't have that same support system. It was clear to her that she needed to find a way to assemble a team before the assessment test, or else her chances of success would be slim.
Ramiel was quiet and was contemplating on something Ramiel was quiet and was contemplating on something, his brow furrowed in deep thought. As Amahle observed him, she wondered if he too felt the pressure of forming a team for the upcoming assessment test. She decided to approach him and see if they could join forces, realizing that together they might have a better chance at success.
Ariella Laila waved her brother goodbye and gave him a quick hug as he walked easily back to class; Amahle was unable to ask him about his ideas for creating a team. She hoped they could collaborate successfully and that he would be receptive to the concept. But she was aware that her time was limited and that she had to find a partner as quickly as possible to avoid losing it.
