初女破初的娇喘

The term \'dormitory\' only applies to those who ranked 5th in the entrance exam. Of course, everybody was aware of the sheer difference so once again, Cedric had become the object of their envy.

Having already scanned the entire place with his senses, Cedric could already tell which room was which. Based on his estimations, the Training Room/Office Space covered at least half of the entire property. The instructors seem to be pushing the idea of training to whoever owns this place every year.

The rest of the space was divided into the living room, bedroom, comfort rooms, and so on.

Resting on the couch in the living room, Cedric thought to himself:

\'Freshmen cannot leave the academy, that\'s the rule. Only after they\'re promoted to Sophomores will they be able to freely leave.\'

\'Others might think this is a bad thing but a smart person wouldn\'t think so. Why would one even want to leave? Where else could they find such a rich and secure environment to grow stronger?\'

\'Staying here allows one to progress fast. Exerting half the effort will double the results. And that\'s just by being in the common areas of the academy. Who knows how much faster it would be at the Trial Grounds or that Enchanted Gardens?\'

\'But of course, it\'s not so easy to stay. The academy will require us to show results if we want to stay here. That\'s only normal since they wouldn\'t be doing this for nothing.\'

Beep!

Cedric opened his eyes and raised a brow. The System notified him that he received an e-mail from the academy.

He opened it and saw that it contained his admission form and the Starlight Academy System Plug-in.

Without any hesitation, Cedric immediately installed the plug-in, which only took a few seconds to finish. Once it is active, he receives several notifications about its functions.

Basically, this plug-in only works when he\'s at the Starlight Royal Academy. The plug-in allows them to enroll in classes using the System, schedule appointments, set reminders for important events, etc. Simply put, the plug-in makes the students\' lives more convenient.

It also reminded him that he could now declare the subjects he wished to learn. It also included a very long list of subjects he could choose from, making him feel a bit dizzy.

"...he wasn\'t kidding when he said that they teach almost anything here." Cedric mused out loud as perused the list.

From what he gathered so far, the Combat Classes are the most popular ones. They require a minimum of 5 Academic Units for enrollment, and that still depends on the type of class.

For example: Ordinary Combat Classes like Weapon Training or Weapon Specialization only require 5 units, whereas classes like Sword Mastery, Intent Manifestation, etc. need at least 7-10 Units.

Simply put, the more advanced it is, the more expensive it gets.

After the Combat Classes, there\'s the Profession Classes like Smithing, Alchemy, Symbol 101, and so on.

There are also miscellaneous classes like; Politics, Marketing, Education, etc.

Anybody who saw just how many subjects there are available would also feel overwhelmed. Fortunately, the staff are kind enough to make \'suggestions\' for students.

These suggestions are based on what they displayed so far, and their tendencies and might include more private information that they delved into upon performing a background check on each student.

For Cedric, the staff highly suggested he take the \'Sword Path\' Class. They even printed it in bold and italics to emphasize their will.

The Sword Path Class needs a whopping 10 Units. It was high but that\'s because it\'s considered as an Advanced Class — a Major Subject, if you will.

\'I mean, I was already planning on taking it anyway. I appreciate the suggestion though.\' Cedric mused wryly.

If he were some ordinary Swordsman out there, the staff would suggest he to take the \'Intent Manifestation\' Class to help him condense the seed of Sword Intent. But since he not only has it but also matured it enough, he could skip to the Sword Path Class, which will allow him to see the road beyond the Sword Intent.

...at least, that\'s what he\'s expecting. He could be wrong though. But since the class was highly suggested to him, there should be a merit to his assumption.

In addition to the Sword Path Class, the staff also suggested he to take the \'Elements 101\', \'Smithing\', \'Field Command\', and \'Etiquette\'.

He could understand why they suggested \'Elements 101\' and \'Smithing\'.

Cedric hasn\'t revealed any Elemental Manifestation during the exam, which probably made him think that if he were to learn the basics of Elements, his power would be greatly boosted.

\'I adopted the \'Aspect of the Sun\' when I became a Young Sage. That should\'ve made/transformed my innate elemental affinity towards Light, Fire, Yang, or somewhere along those lines.\'

\'I\'ve practiced my Sage Arts diligently and in turn, I have a fair grasp in controlling Sunlight and Sunfire. Is there really a need for me to enroll in this class?\'

\'...\'

\'...probably. I mean, I still can\'t reveal my status as a Sage nor I could display my control over Sunlight and Sunfire. Even though this is a fairly secure place, being careful still has merits.\'

\'Yeah, I should probably take it. This could serve as another layer of disguise in a sense. Making it easier for the Demons to underestimate me.\'

As for the Smithing Class, that\'s public knowledge. They probably saw his Public Profile which led them to this suggestion.

Now, Field Command was a bit surprising to him. He didn\'t know what their basis was for suggesting this but he thought that it wouldn\'t hurt.

What confused him the most was the \'Etiquette\' Class.

\'Is this really necessary? Do I look like a country bumpkin to them?\' He thought to himself.

Cedric would like to think that he wasn\'t like that. Obviously, he had never taken any Etiquette classes before but at the very least, nobody had complained about his manners before.

He would know if they did, after all his senses could pick up most things. But there\'s none, so why would they suggest this? Did he do something embarrassing during the exam? He couldn\'t remember anything though.

\'...maybe I could ask someone later.\' He hummed inwardly.

He then saw that, if he were to take all of the classes suggested to him, it would cost a total of 15 AUs; 10 for the Sword Path Class, 3 for the Smithing Class, and one for both the Field Command and Etiquette Class, leaving him with 5 AUs to spare.

Knowing this, Cedric once again perused the list to see if any subjects might interest him.

He found the \'Demonology\' Class, which is the in-depth study of Demons. It sounded interesting but for Cedric, it was redundant. He already has the Demon Slayer Class which bestowed him the 『Demon Lore』 passive skill, allowing him to view information that Acala herself compiled, so it\'s meaningless to attend this.

Alchemy was also interesting for him but he decided to postpone it. Thinking that it wouldn\'t be too late to enroll in this class once he maxed out his Smith sub-class.

After checking the list one last time, he sighed and said: "I\'ll just take the suggestions I suppose."

"15 Units should be enough for my first year. Besides, taking more might take up too much of my time. Instructor Orion also said that if we want to be promoted as a Sophomore, one of the requirements is to pass every subject we take."

Besides, the academy adjusts its lessons according to what he heard so far. If a student happens to learn faster than the rest, the instructors wouldn\'t hesitate to give them more materials to keep up with their pace.

It is possible to pass the class before the intended time frame. Doing so would free up more time for the student to focus on their other classes or their personal training.

"Yeah...I\'ll do it this way then. Pacing is a good thing."

Once he made his decision, he declared the subjects he wanted to take and submitted his application. After a minute, he received a confirmation as well as his schedule for each of the classes he took.

Interestingly enough, the Sword Path Class was labeled with the \'Open Schedule\', meaning that he could attend the class whenever he wanted to, be it day or night. Additionally, he could also determine how long he wants to stay each time he attends.

It\'s a unique concept but Cedric just took it in stride...

\'Elements 101\' is scheduled once a week. It occurs every Monday at 10:00 am to 2:00 pm in the afternoon.

His Smithing, Field Command, and Etiquette Classes are scheduled on Saturdays. The former happens in the afternoon and the latter happens in the mornings.

He was also notified that the classes will begin next week and his attendance will be expected. With that done, Cedric closed the interface and proceeded to unload his things to settle down in his new home.
