Battle Academy

Time passed~

Three days went by.

The day the student assessment results were announced.

Xin Yang arrived early to take the maglev bus to his academy.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Xin Yang could not help marveling at how advanced the technology in this world was.

While Xin Yang was lost in random thoughts, the maglev bus finally carried everyone slowly out of the tunnel.

In an instant, a vast expanse opened before their eyes.

Battle Academy stood in the middle of a huge, flat basin.

Tunnel tracks ran through it from every direction. The broad roads were filled with vehicles from all over, and there were even aircraft Xin Yang had never seen before.

Battle Academy was located in the northern second-ring district of Glory University.

Xin Yang's home was in the central first ring. It still took half an hour by maglev bus to reach the academy.

Battle Academy had been jointly established by Glory University and the continental government several thousand years ago.

Among Glory University's many specialized academies, Battle Academy had always ranked among the top two.

Though it was called an academy, it was enormous. It was roughly two-thirds the size of Shanghai from Xin Yang's previous life.

Besides its most important teaching buildings, Battle Academy also had all kinds of entertainment venues, including but not limited to internet cafés, KTVs, movie theaters, sports centers, and more.

Battle Academy had originally been built to cultivate a new generation of combat-type Specter Ability users.

To outsiders, Battle Academy was also exceedingly mysterious.

It was said that Specter spaces only appeared here a few times a year, making it like an isolated paradise.

In truth, Specter spaces were rare in Battle Academy simply because there were so many Specter Ability users there that they could rush to the scene and erase them immediately.

If a Specter space domain descended upon Battle Academy, the Specters inside would probably be desperate to close the spatial entrance and return to the Specter world at once.

Specter Ability users, who were hard to find outside, were a common sight here.

For all anyone knew, the beautiful woman sitting across from you while you ate a late-night snack might be a Disaster-rank Specter Ability user.

On the maglev bus.

The young men and women were immersed in the novelty of this new world.

"Is this Battle Academy?"

"It's so beautiful. This is just one academy of Glory University? It's bigger than the capital city of our Cloud Prefecture."

"After I graduate, I'm definitely staying here! I'll bring my family here to live too."

A cute short-haired girl on the bus blinked her large dark eyes, her little mouth slightly open. She looked especially adorable.

She cautiously glanced at Xin Yang, who was leaning against the window and looking at the scenery.

Fortunately, he was admiring the view outside at the moment.

Xin Yang did not notice the girl's burning gaze.

"Classmate, can I get your contact information?" the girl asked hopefully.

Xin Yang turned toward the voice. A cute short-haired girl stood beside him, but he did not know how to answer.

Just then, the maglev bus stopped in front of the teaching buildings inside Battle Academy.

"Students, get off. We've arrived at Battle Academy," the driver said.

At once, the young men and women picked up their luggage and got off the bus.

"Battle Academy, here I come."

After getting off, Xin Yang took a deep breath of fresh air and spread his arms, his expression intoxicated. Sunlight fell across the side of his face, and in that moment, he looked like a world-famous painting.

"Classmate, can I add your contact information?"

Beside him, the short-haired girl from earlier continued asking for Xin Yang's contact information.

"All right..."

"I'll scan you..." Knowing he could not avoid it, Xin Yang could only agree helplessly.

"Okay, classmate!" After getting Xin Yang's contact information, the girl happily turned and left.

Before Xin Yang stood a cluster of buildings resembling teaching blocks.

The four powerful characters, Battle Academy, were carved into a massive stone.

At the same time, countless maglev vehicles were parked nearby, forming long lines.

The area was packed with people, an endless sea of new students.

Today was the day the assessment results were announced, and all of Battle Academy's new students had gathered here.

The students all looked spirited and ambitious, eager to show off their abilities at Glory University and make a name for themselves.

Battle Academy had four specialized programs.

Companion Specter Application Training Program.

Specter Technique Combat Program.

Specter Modification Combat Program.

Specter Item Combat Program.

Over the past few days, Xin Yang had continuously received calls from Zhu Ende.

The moment he arrived at Battle Academy, he was to go straight to the director's office of the Specter Technique Combat Division. If anyone tried to strike up a conversation with Xin Yang on the way, he absolutely was not to agree to anything.

"Classmate, wait a moment."

Xin Yang was stopped by a middle-aged woman wearing glasses and professional attire.

Xin Yang looked at her in confusion.

At the same time, the woman smiled at Xin Yang.

Over the past few days, she had looked over Xin Yang's photograph countless times.

"Hello, classmate. Let me introduce myself first. I'm the deputy director of the Companion Specter Application Training Program. I've been waiting here for you for quite some time."

Xin Yang's score in the freshman assessment was practically perfect. Over the past few days, the various academies of Glory University had gone crazy, nearly blowing up Battle Academy's phone line.

As the woman spoke, her eyes remained fixed on Xin Yang as though he were the only person left in the entire world. The bustling students around them seemed like air.

Xin Yang grumbled inwardly.

Hey, hey, ma'am, I don't think I know you. Don't stare at me with that creepy lovestruck look.

"Want me to come out and deal with her?" his brother asked after hearing Xin Yang's inward complaint.

"Bro, no need. I was just complaining."

In fact, it was not just that woman. More and more instructors around them were beginning to gather in Xin Yang's direction.

These instructors had already learned some of the assessment scores.

They understood that Xin Yang was absolutely one of the favorites to win the freshman assessment!

Xin Yang was somewhat resistant to their gazes, so he sidestepped around the woman and continued toward the Specter Technique Combat Division.

"Classmate, please wait. Can you spare me three minutes?"

"Classmate, I'll be brief. As long as you join our Companion Specter Application Training Program, we'll give you one of our top student slots. And we guarantee that we will prioritize fighting for you when it comes to all kinds of rewards."

"I'm sorry, but I'm already Director Zhu Ende's student."

"And I don't like the way you're looking at me. It makes me feel like a product."

"Even if you really wanted to negotiate with me, you should at least choose a formal setting. Not stand at the entrance of the teaching buildings and say these things to me."

"Shh! Student Xin Yang, please keep your voice down. You may not realize just how popular you are right now."

The woman said excitedly, "We had no choice but to do this. Please forgive us."
