"La'el wake up !"
An old man shouted in front of an old wooden door. With his hair disheveled, La'el came out from behind that door.
"Mr. Sheng why you so noisy ?"
"Aren't you going to apply to the academy tomorrow? hurry up and get your ass out of here"
"Haha ! i'am just kiding. Has the cart been ready yet ?"
"Yeah. Just quickly prepare your things"
"Wait a second !"
La'el close the door once again. After a few minutes he came out with a big backpack.
Walked following the old man towards the village gate, La'el saw that a crowd had gathered around the carriage.
"Look who is this ? the intruder will eventually leave"
"La'el ! fight to make this village proud !"
"Haha ! thanks everyone !"
La'el greeted everyone that cheering for him.
Today, he would be leaving this small village to enroll in the Bahari academy, one of the most prestigious academies in the empire.
La'el got on the parked carriage. The carriage moved immediately after la'el got on it. He waves his hand at the crowd.
"Good bye everyone !"
A teenager who looked only a few years younger than La'el approached Mr. Sheng.
"Mr. Sheng, do you think La'el will be accepted into Bahari Academy ?"
"Who knows ? if someone like him get accepted, then you should apply too in the next recruitment."
Mr.Sheng's eyes glanced at the carriage that had already pulled away from the village.
He didn't expect much from La'el. He only hopes for the best to that guy.
After all, although the location of this village is not too far from the academy, no one from this village has been accepted there yet.
Sit down in the cart, La'el thinking abaout what happened a few days ago.
He thought it was just a strange imagination he often had.
But the knowledge he didn't know before began to surface in his mind once in a while.
What was even more annoying was it seemed what he received was incomplete, it just made his head trembeled.
Even if he tried not to think about it, Strange thoughts kept popping up.
"Argh !!!"
Unable to hold it in anymore, he finally screamed incoherently.
"Hey, Are you okay ? don't think so much, there won't be any one in the village who will blame you even if you fail"
"i'am fine, just a little motion sickness"
"Haha ! just spit out all the contents of your stomach, don't worry about other people passing by"
La'el did not respond to that person's word, he just wanted to arrange his chaotic thoughts properly.
One day later they arrived in a dense forest.
Bahari Academy was built in the middle of rainforest with high walls surrounding it. Several buildings were also built with the high walls of the academy at the center.
After bidding farewell to the coachman, La'el walking for a while along the road he finally arrived in front of the academy's grand entrance. La'el could see that many people already had gathered in front of the academy.
Different from him, many teenagers are accompanied by their parents. La'el could see the faces of parents who were proud of their children.
Shortly after he arrived, the extremely tall gate began to open.
he could see 7 people with the same uniform coming out side by side.
"Listen up! anyone who is not a registrar leave this place immediately"
A middle-aged man with a thick mustache on his face shouted loudly, his voice spread in all directions.
Everyone who had been chatting with each other now fell silent. The parents immediately stepped aside to leave their sweet heart. Selection has started now.
"Line up in seven rows !"
With that scream, people move around make a line. After a while seven lines had formed.
"The test itself is very simple, All of you only need to hit a bag, so the supervisor can determine your tier. Everyone who has reached Low-tier 5 stars with age less than 20 years is considered passed. For people who have not reached it, will play roulette wheel. If you get the green part it will be declared passed"
La'el was speechless hearing that explanation, even the strength of an ordinary person is only a low-tier 3 stars he could understand the tier requirements because this is Bahari Academy after all. But relying on luck was too much.
Although he had reached Low-tier 9 stars, he didn't want to go all out. Some asshole would seek a fight with him if he did that.
La'el understood that this place wasn't like a village where everyone would be kind to each other.
He was already so dizzy with the fragments of information that had been haunting him the last few days. He didn't want to cause any trouble, at least for now.
After more than an hour of waiting, now it's La'el's turn to do the test. He walked towards the instructor.
"Name ?"
"La'el Akhtidor. 19 years old."
"Go ahead"
La'el nodded his head, after putting his rucksack aside he is get ready to hit the bag.
*duggg
He only used half of his strength, but the after effect still looks tough.
The instructor's eyes looked at La'el strangely then a faint smile appeared on his face.
"La'el Akhtidor Low-tier 9 stars. Passed"
La'el's eyes widened at the instructor.
"Sorry sir, isn't that not right ?"
"you think you can fool me kids ? Hurry up and head inside the academy, there will be someone who will give you something"
Even though he percieve crocked, La'el still took his backpack and walked away from that place.
Passing through the large gate, La'el could see clusters of houses and several public buildings.
La'el is feeling amazed, Bahari Academy is more like small city instead.
"Hey kids, did you pass the test ?"
La'el turned his gaze towards the brown-haired woman who was wearing the same uniform as the instructors.
"Yes ma'am"
"Good job, this is your stuff"
The woman handed over a small pouch along with a piece of paper.
"Read the guide paper, everything is explained there"
La'el nodded his head and read the paper in his hand.
The students of the academy will form their own social system, apart from the monthly payment no other special services are provided.
They don't even provide dorm room. All inns, houses, and other buildings is a student business with land leased from the academy.
In order to keep the situation conducive, the academy has a different currency to the outside.
Students are able to exchange currencies here for other currencies, but not the other way around.
Even students are not required to come to any class, the teachers will only open classes in certain places according to the schedule. Whether you will come or not is up to you.
As long as you reach a Mid-tier 5 stars, then you will be declared a graduate of the academy.
Like cold water splashed over his head, La'el feel a sense of urgency.
He didn't know where to live. After all he didn't have a single acquaintance within the academy
"Hah.. I think I'll be staying at the inn this month"
