Eternal Love 26 Academy News

In the Northstar Academy, students could actually change their lives as well as their families, especially for those with an average or below average background. The academy offers jobs and rewards to well-off students who are capable of performing beyond their feets. The academy adopts a points system where for every achievement made by an individual, be it teacher or student, they are evaluated and converted to points with which trade can be performed in the school.

Points are also awarded to students who complete various jobs offered by the academy. It's like an adventurers guild where jobs are posted and whoever completes the job is awarded with the rewards attached to each mission. The missions provided are not only from the Academy, but from other merchants who have requests also. Of course, missions are ranked using numbers 1 to 7, 7 being the lowest and easiest while 1, being the hardest and highest level.

For teachers in the academy, to get points, they follow a different pattern. When a student acknowledges a teacher as his master and the teacher also accepts the student to be his disciple, 70 percent of the student's resources for cultivating and training is given by the teacher. The teacher is to guide the student in the best possible path to take for his cultivation to advance steadily and smoothly. The other 30 percent are from tbe missions handed to the student by the academy.

When a student advances in stages and realms, like from squire realm to n.o.ble knight realm, he is awarded points and rewards for his breakthrough. Some benefits of acquiring enough points as a student is the ability to buy a n.o.bility t.i.tle which is the Baron/Baroness t.i.tle. Although, these are not easy feets to achieve as the points required are insanely high.

For teachers of the academy, whenever their students advance in stages or realms or gains an achievement in an area of speciality, the teacher is awarded points with which he/she can use to attain promotions in their various departments. For example, a student successfully advance realms under the tutelage of his master, the points the teacher receives can be used to apply for bigger positions in the academy, buy resources to advance in his cultivation or probably to also buy a n.o.bility t.i.tle. Only the t.i.tle of Baron/Baroness can be sold in the Northstar Kingdom. Others can only be attained by having great contributions to the Kingdom or if the King bestows the t.i.tle upon an individual.

Gold can also be used to gain or rather, buy points. 1 point is equivalent to 1000 gold, so it's very rarely bought because of the price margin.

For students with dual element, they are opportuned to choose two masters, one for each elemental affinity.

**************

Aaron sat cross legged on his bed meditating, when a bracelet, just like the one Leo had, started blinking. He looked at the bracelet and quickly understood that his master, Anderson Gale, was summoning him. He readied himself and left his room. He went past many training rooms with different teachers training their students. When he arrived at the designated training room his master had summoned him to, he was surprised to see Leo and another boy whom he was not all familiar with.

Aaron: He's your master too? (pointing to Anderson)

Leo: apparently.

Aaron: and whose the other guy? (pointing to the other boy in the room)

Leonardo: I have no idea. But he must be strong enough to be acknowledged by him (pointing to Anderson)

Anderson: you both know we can hear your conversation right? *looks at them with a lazy eye*. Anyway, this is Hayden. Hayden, introduce yourself.

Hayden: *with a smile* h.e.l.lo, I am Hayden Gill.

Aaron: Gill? You are a member of the Gill household?

Hayden:*with an proud smile* Yes I am. First son of Marquis Robert Gill.

Aaron: *stretches his hand to shake Hayden* nice meeting you.

Hayden: *shakes Aaron's hand* Nice to meet you too.

Aaron: I am ...

Hayden: Prince Aaron. And that is Leonardo Gonzales.

Aaron had not finished when Hayden spoke out their names.

Leo: hmm. You know me?

Hayden: everyone knows both of you. You are the most handsome boy in this academy. Even the seniors can't argue and of cause, the handsome prince Aaron is also your best friend.

Leo: who is best friend with that idiot?

Aaron: of cause you are, you moron.

Hayden watched as Aaron kept bickering at Leo who didn't seem interested in one bit of what Aaron was saying. Finally, Anderson spoke up.

Anderson: enough! Oh man! You boys are going to drive me nuts.*ma.s.saging his temple* I gathered you three here to tell you about the academy rules. After 2 months of your arrival, as new intakes, you can now partic.i.p.ate in the academy challenges, missions, and so on to earn merits points and achievements that can be used to trade and purchase resources, weapons and whatever you need on your cultivation journey. Before I move on, I want you you two, Aaron and Hayden, to spar with yourselves since both of are wind users. Aaron, no other element is allowed in this sparring contest. Hayden is not a dual elementalist.

Aaron and Hayden walked to the centre of the training room. They gave themselves a nod as a greeting, readied themselves to attack and started the spar. Based on speed, Hayden was utilizing his wind element and was moving faster than the eyes could see. In less than a second, he had closed the gap between he and Aaron and was ready to give Aaron a kick on the stomach. Aaron side stepped and was able to avoid the kick. Hayden reacted quickly and launched another punch at Aaron. Aaron could only block the punch with his hands like an x in front of his face. Although he blocked the punch, he still moved half a foot back. Aaron put down his hands and smiled, then he spoke to Hayden;

Aaron: for a 7th stage squire, you are much more stronger.

Hayden was shocked. How did Aaron know that he was a 7th stage squire?

Aaron: perhaps, if we were both at the same stage, we would have had a tie when it comes to speed or perhaps, you would win, but today isn't your lucky day. *with a smile* try to evade my attacks next...

Immediately, Aaron closed the gap between he and Hayden. s.h.i.+t! He's too fast, thought Hayden. Before Hayden could process what was happening, Aaron had thrown a punch at him. Hayden had managed to defend it but the force behind the punch was too much for Hayden.

Meanwhile, on the sidelines, Leo and Anderson were in a conversation of their own.

Anderson: who do you think will win Leo?

Leo: If Hayden's opponent was someone else, then he might have won with his speed but so long as it's Aaron, It's his loss.

Anderson: why so?

Leo: Aaron has a better mana control than Hayden. He is stronger and he has more battle experience than Hayden. From the way he attacks, he aims at vital points so as to end the fight with minimal strength and effort. These are tactics of someone who can strategize extremely well. After all, if this was a real battle and Aaron uses up his mana to fight just one opponent, how would he escape if enemy reinforcements arrive?

Anderson was extremely impressed with Leo's a.n.a.lysis. Clearly, this was the logical thing to do. In cases were you have no idea the number of enemies, you try to end each fight with minimal effort and energy so as to be prepared for any surprises.

Aaron and Hayden were still engaged in the exchange with Aaron holding all the advantages when Anderson finally asked them to stop.

Anderson: You boys get cleaned up. *looking at Leo* go to the Dean's office. He is responsible for your next lesson.

Leo took a bow and left the training room.

Anderson: *looking back at Hayden and Aaron* Hurry up boys, we are going to the Star Tower.
