Learning

September 2nd.

Public classroom.

Although they are divided into different majors, many general education courses are still taken together.

In a large classroom that could easily hold hundreds of people, Ximen Ping sat properly in his seat, holding his textbook.

Because the person who taught them their first general education class was none other than the principal himself!

"The extraordinary... I prefer to call it the mysterious. Its essence is spirituality, a power that science cannot currently observe... As for the origin of the mysterious, it may be related to the Ancient God, or perhaps... it is an upgrade of the world."

Sulu said, "For us, being born in this era is an unparalleled stroke of luck... As energy shifts from inert to active, the possibility of future immortal beings becomes possible."

Upon hearing this, all the students' eyes lit up.

Extraordinary power, long life!

These are all goals that they should pursue with all their might.

"The power of the spirit is indescribable and difficult to limit... Therefore, it must be 'forged' through different professions... The purpose of our academy is to help students better understand the mystical and ultimately become professionals... Before that, you need to master some basic mystical knowledge and learn the techniques of Spirit Mark, which will enable you to better combat curses and increase your success rate in finding a job..."

Sulu continued.

Han Fan, listening below, clenched his fists. "Spirit Mark technology? The principal is truly selfless..."

He glanced around and knew that there must be some special personnel hidden here, perhaps even foreign agents.

After all, admissions only require 'qualifications' and don't have many requirements regarding identity.

"However... this is none of my business. Inside the secret realm, they can't contact the outside world, they can't even locate us..." Han Fan shook his head inwardly.

"Leaving aside the primary school section and adult training, in your first year, you will learn about mysticism. Those who pass will have the opportunity to become extraordinary individuals. We will provide potion materials and rituals. Even if you can't afford it, as long as you sign a contract, you can stay at the school to teach for a period of time after graduation..."

On stage, Sulu's voice continued, "In the second year, you will master the power of professionals and have access to trials in the wilderness."

"After the third year, the outstanding students will be exposed to knowledge for advanced professions."

In reality, this is because the Spirit Tide recovery has slowed down, especially the fifth Spirit Tide, which only had such a leisurely period when measured in decades.

"I hope that after graduation, you will all become excellent professionals."

"We're about to have a holiday."

Ximen Ping walked out of the teaching building and sighed.

In the midst of intense and exciting studies, a semester flies by.

During this semester, although he did not formally come into contact with mysterious powers, he has accumulated a lot of knowledge in occultism and become a qualified 'quasi-superhuman'.

Most of the teachers at the academy were quite inexperienced, but their knowledge of the occult was very professional.

Even among the 'teachers,' there are talking Crow, tree people who walk on tree roots, and so on, which is very interesting.

With the arrival of winter vacation, the school finally announced the start of the holiday, which made Ximen Ping very excited.

While packing my bags to go home, other things were still on my mind.

"Congratulations! Your learning progress is among the best of the freshmen, and you have perfectly met the requirements to become a professional."

These are the words his homeroom teacher, Cheng Feng, said to him, "You have two choices now. First, purchase magic potions and professional knowledge from the school at cost price and become a true professional! Second, sign a contract to stay at the school for five years after graduation, during which time we will provide a salary..."

'With my family's financial situation, tuition isn't a problem, but the huge sum of money needed to become a professional... I think I'll pass.'

Ximen Ping made up his mind.

Just then, a person walked over from the side; it was Han Fan.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy when you get home?"

"No, I'm just thinking about the future." Ximen Ping forced a smile.

"I know, you also had a private talk with the teacher, right?" Han Fan blinked. In terms of grades and progress, he was the top student in the field of occultism. "If you're just worried about the cost of materials, I can help you."

Investing in a student now will yield very high returns in the future.

And Ximen Ping was definitely not the first person he sought out.

"Hmm... I'll think about it some more."

Ximen Ping quickly packed his luggage and dragged his suitcase to the school gate.

At this moment, the barrier surrounding the secret realm seemed to disappear, turning into a thick fog.

"Well then... see you next year!"

Han Fan waved his hand.

See you next year!

Ximen Ping waved and walked into the thick fog.

Surrounded by a forest, we had somehow ended up at the same forest park we had visited before.

"This whole experience... it's like a dream."

He exclaimed in admiration, walked to the park entrance, and discovered that a large train station had been specially built there sometime ago.

"Welcome aboard this bus. Are you a student from the Mystery Academy?"

The driver was very welcoming. "This bus goes directly to the train station, bus station, and even has an airport shuttle..."

"Thanks!"

Looking at the futuristic, silver-white bus, Ximen Ping felt like he was dreaming. Had the world really changed so much?

On the bus, there was a huge electronic screen broadcasting the news:

"At the latest Hainan Base, the new 'Life No. 1' rice variety has yielded a bumper harvest in saline-alkali experimental fields, with a yield of over 20,000 kilograms per mu. After testing, it has been found to be completely free of toxins and pollution, and is a pure natural green food..."

"Celebration Pharmaceutical Company announced that, through the continuous efforts of its researchers, it has successfully developed several highly effective targeted drugs, including those for terminal illnesses such as AIDS and liver cancer. Influenced by this positive news, the company's stock price immediately hit its daily limit at the opening bell, with investors unanimously optimistic about the future market outlook..."

"Mystery... is making this world a better place..."

As Ximen Ping watched the news, he deeply felt the changes that extraordinary power had brought to the world, and at the same time, he became even more determined about a certain idea. "After I come back, I'll sign a contract to stay at the school."

Although Han Fan was willing to lend him the money, he felt that it would be better to sell it to the school than to a private individual.

What he didn't know was that during the following winter break, not only Han Fan, but also various companies, institutions, and even Heavenly Net were trying to persuade him to take out loans, or even give them away for free.

The Spirit Tide slowed down, but the growth rate of extraordinary individuals outside did not increase much either.

It's not just a shortage of spiritual materials, but also due to curses, character flaws, and shortcomings in various other aspects.

Those who possess extraordinary abilities but lack independent thought ultimately have various flaws and are prone to losing control.

The best way to resist the curse is to master the Spirit Mark, a conclusion confirmed by Heavenly Net and other countries.

In this context, students from the Mystery Academy became even more sought-after.
