Academy, New Student Registration

As Wright spoke,

he led Wayne into a passage glowing blue. Once inside, Wayne found that he felt no dizziness.

Instead,

a refreshing sensation replaced it. He relaxed and turned his gaze to Wright.

Wright chuckled.

"Feeling refreshed, right?"

Wayne nodded.

"That's exactly how it should feel. It's also an inevitable result of this era's development. Ordinary resources are no longer scarce,

especially at the Lord Wizard Academy, where the protagonists of this era are cultivated.

At almost every moment,

this passage is filled with the component particles of Awakening Potion. No matter which passage you leave through

or enter through,

you can restore your mental power."

Wayne nodded slightly. As they spoke, the two walked out of the passage. Before them stood countless towering buildings.

At the sight,

Wayne could not help opening his mouth wide.

"Th... this place is way too big, isn't it?"

As soon as he spoke, Wayne felt himself floating again. He looked toward Wright.

Sure enough,

Wright was behind it. The two rose into the air and flew into the distance.

"If it weren't this big, there'd be no need to build teleportation passages. The academy's total area

accounts for one percent of the Imperial Capital,

which is one million square kilometers."

Wayne clicked his tongue inwardly. A single academy occupied such a vast area.

It was nearly as large as the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from his previous life.

No wonder they had built teleportation passages.

As they spoke,

the two flew to the foot of the largest building in the central area.

After landing,

Wayne looked up and saw five large characters written on the building.

[General Academic Affairs Building]

As Wright led Wayne inside, he explained,

"Every district has a central building like this.

This is the center of each district.

You can come here to collect information or look it up, and you'll know where you need to go.

For example, the Teaching District.

At the teaching center building, you can check what courses are available. Once you find courses that satisfy you,

you can select them. Then you'll know

which building's classroom you need to attend."

Wayne nodded slightly.

He now had a basic understanding of the Lord Wizard Academy.

As they spoke,

the elevator they took reached the top floor. There was only one office on the top floor, with a plaque bearing five words.

[Academic Affairs District · Dean]

Wright stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Knock, knock.

"Come in."

Wright pushed the door open and entered with Wayne. Inside sat an elderly man dressed in wizard robes.

"Wright, it's you."

Wright nodded slightly, then bowed.

"Dean Leon,

I've brought a new student to register."

Seeing this, Wayne hurriedly bowed as well. "New student Wayne,

greetings, Dean Leon."

Leon chuckled, his face carrying a benevolent smile.

"Child, I know of you. A holder of two top-tier talents.

Rise."

As he spoke, he picked up a golden badge from the desk

and tossed it to Wright.

Only after Wright handed it to Wayne did Dean Leon speak again.

"Wayne, welcome to the Lord Wizard Academy.

I also wish you well.

Become one of the protagonists of this era. Keep working hard and walk farther down this path."

Hearing that,

Wayne bowed slightly.

"Thank you for your blessing."

At that, Dean Leon waved his hand. Wright then pulled Wayne out of the office.

As they entered the elevator,

Wright chuckled.

"Next, I'll take you to the dining district.

After we eat,

I'll send you to the dormitory district."

Wayne raised a brow. "Senior, are you sure you have enough time?"

Wright shook his head.

"Of course I do. I know what you want to say, but being able to receive you is already the limit of my responsibilities.

So I have plenty of time.

Besides, once I leave, someone will fill my position right away."

Wayne roughly understood, but he still had some doubts.

So he simply asked,

"Does the academy provide one-on-one service for every new student?"

Wright shook his head.

"Of course not. Only those with two top-tier talents receive this treatment.

And what you really want to know

is why I'm being so enthusiastic, right?"

Wayne nodded.

"Of course. This is far too much attention."

"Haha, don't be so surprised. To tell you the truth,

I benefit from it too."

"Benefit?"

Wright nodded. "That's right. The benefit is contribution points.

This is also the easiest job in the academy for earning contribution points. If not for Dean Leon...

Ahem... forget I said anything."

Yet Wayne could clearly see the expression on Wright's face saying,

Hurry up and ask.

Seeing that,

Wayne appropriately picked up the thread.

"May I ask, Senior, who is Dean Leon?"

Wright waved a hand.

"Not worth mentioning. He's merely my grandfather."

Seeing Wright's utterly smug expression, Wayne could not help twitching at the corner of his mouth. This...

Sure enough,

no one could resist showing off before others, not even people from another world.

"That's amazing!"

"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

Two hours later.

After Wayne and Wright finished eating, they arrived at the dormitory district. This time, they did not fly over.

Because the dormitory district's central building

was right beside the passage,

or rather, at the entrance to the dormitory district. Over the past two hours, Wayne had also learned from Wright why he had been so enthusiastic.

Contribution points

were hard currency within the academy, just like magic crystals. Only premium magic crystals could compare to them.

10,000 contribution points = 1 premium magic crystal.

And only premium magic crystals could be exchanged for them.

Other than that, they could only be obtained through academy missions. Contribution points had three uses.

First, exchanging for dragon eggs.

Second, exchanging for sprites.

Third, hiring a mentor for one-on-one tutoring.

The first two uses needed no explanation. They were practically necessities for lord wizards,

and were preferential channels opened by the academy.

As for the last one,

Wright did not know much about it. In his words, with that many contribution points, one might as well exchange them for dragon eggs and sprites.

Who would waste contribution points like that?

It was worth mentioning that Wayne had also learned how many contribution points Wright received for welcoming him into the academy.

It was one thousand.

Or rather, every person with two top-tier talents was worth one thousand contribution points.

From this, Wayne finally understood just how much importance the Lord Wizard Academy placed on its students.

Of course,

Wayne simply did not know it. Otherwise, the deans of several academies and the emperor of Atlantis would probably curse him to death.

Why did lords from all over send those with high talent to the Imperial Capital every year?

Wasn't it because of resources?

Compared to the contribution points they earned from receiving them, the resources they spent were not worth mentioning.

Back to the matter at hand.

Wayne followed Wright to the dormitory center building.

They went all the way to the top floor.

It was another dean's office, with the same process.

They entered the office.

Only the person was different. This time, Wayne saw a middle-aged man.

"Little Wright is here."

The speaker was Dean Mikaichi of the dormitory district.

After Wayne bowed with Wright,

Mikaichi looked at Wayne. "Child, you possess two talents.

You may choose a residence in the dormitory district.

You have two options. The first is an apartment building.

The second is a villa.

You may choose your residence according to your needs."

Wayne thought for a moment before speaking.

"I choose a villa."

Mikaichi nodded slightly, then lightly tapped the round crystal ball on the table.

The crystal ball lit up.

At the same time, a beam of light shot out.

It landed on the academy badge Wayne wore on his chest.

"It's already been registered. Your house is Villa No. 66 in Area Seven.

The badge is the key."

Wayne bowed, then left the office with Wright.
