Academy

William reached the town closest to the Academy at noon. This town was a stop and meeting point for students entering the Academy.

The town was already filled with people. Some came with their bodyguards, while others were alone.

Normally, the town had never been flooded with people like this, as it was a farming town.

People who came to the academy for just a week or two a year would fill the whole town and leave a good income behind.

William walked into an inn, wanting to eat and stay. Since it was the only inn in town, it was very crowded inside.

The only empty place he could find was a four-person table with three seats.

He approached the table and asked. "With your permission, may I sit down?"

The handsome young man with blond hair and green eyes who was sitting alone in the corner looked at him and said, "Sure, you can sit."

As William sat down, he saw the two teenagers across from him looking at him strangely and frowning slightly. He didn't care and ordered food and beer from the waiter who looked very tired. He had learned that taverns only allowed beer.

While ordering, he asked the three young people next to him. "Would you like something to drink? It is on me," he said.

But the three teenagers pretended not to care.

Except for the handsome young man next to him, the others were also good-looking. One of them had light blue hair and blue eyes. The other was much more handsome than him, although he had black hair and a normal appearance.

After a while, his food and drink arrived, and he began to eat in a hurry. He ate so fast that he choked.

"Can't you eat a little slower?"

The blue-haired young man in front of him asked.

"I've been on the road for a few days, I'm very hungry."

"Are you a bard? What are you doing here?" He looked suspiciously at the box on his back.

William answered as he ate.

"Yes, I am a bard, I heard that the academy accepts students. That's why I wanted to try my luck."

"Are you noble?"

"Sort of, you?"

The looks of the trio changed when William asked his question. They now thought he was a complete idiot. Wasn't it obvious from the clothes they were wearing?

"Yes, we are noble too. What family are you from?"

"You first." He said as he put the last bite of food into his mouth.

"I am Merlon Esse, from the Esse family". The blue-haired youth said. Then he looked beside him.

"I am from the Gizmo family, Dullan Gizmo," the black-haired youth said with a smile.

Turning to the blonde-haired youth, William noticed that he didn't seem to want to say anything.

Merlon Esse spoke with a slightly sarcastic look. "He is from the Mill family, Leslie Mill. Our esteemed prince still can't stand that status is meaningless after now. Hehe." He said.

Then he looked at William and said, "And who are you?" he asked.

William replied with a smile. "I am William Aureus of the Aureus family." He said.

The blue-haired boy was surprised. He knew all the nobles, as their knowledge network was extensive and their training extremely serious. That included William. But this young man before him looked like he was twenty years old. At first, he could not reconcile the two in his mind.

He seemed a little depressed. He said sadly, "Brother, I don't know what you've been through, but I hope everything will be as you wish from now on." He said. He thought it must have caused him a lot of pain to look so tall at that age.

On the one hand, he was right, but William had chosen it himself. And 'Damn, they call it training. They call it getting stronger,' he cursed in his mind.

He didn't speak. He just watched the town streets and sipped his beer.

But the blue-haired young man was very talkative. He kept forcing the quartet to talk. After a while, the ice around them melted because everyone had to answer. They kept ordering beer and having fun. William's alcohol resistance was extremely good, as he was an Iron Level warrior.

Others began to get slightly drunk. William, the only sober person, asked the innkeeper for a room, but only a few rooms were available. All the single rooms were taken. So he took a room for four and put the other three to bed. Then he slept too.

A few days later, a teacher from the academy came to pick them up.

The teacher was middle-aged, very quiet, dressed in wide robes.

He led them out of the town and showed them the way. All of them followed him with different mounts. From here on, all the candidates were alone. Like any bodyguard, sidekicks could not enter the academy.

The Teacher took them to a place the size of a city. This place was indeed comparable to the capital. Its massive walls, nearly a hundred meters high, emitted a black metallic light. The whole academy had two huge gates. One was on the west side, opening to the capital, and the other was on the east side, opening to the Black Forest.

The crowd entered through the capital gate. Next to the gate was a huge barn. Everyone left their mounts there.

After following the Teacher for another hundred meters, they came to a large building. They entered it under the Teacher's guidance. This place was like a warehouse. It was considered empty. Only a table was placed in the farthest corner of the building with someone sitting at its head.

When the Teacher saw that everyone had entered, he began to speak.

"Here you will take the talent test. Those who pass will stay, those who fail will return." He said cruelly. "Now take out your letters of recommendation."

Everyone took out the letter of recommendation and handed it in.

The teacher took it while looking at everyone's face and checking their seals.

Then he told everyone to stand in a line in front of the table.

William was in the middle.

The test was very simple. You had to place your hand on the magic ball and then hit the stone in the corner. Most likely, these stone pillars were measuring the strength of the punch, because he could see numbers magically appearing on them.

Leslie, whom they called the Prince, was at the forefront. He was one of the first to take the test.

With the sign of the man sitting at the table, he placed his hand on the magic ball.

After a few seconds, the ball began to emit light.

"Gold level talent, light affinity. He opened the healing meridian. Beautiful. Now hit that pillar over there." The man gave him a few words of praise, then gestured for him to hit.

Prince Leslie stepped in front of the pillar, stretched with all his might, and hit. After a while, the numbers became visible to everyone. The number '321' appeared on the pillar.

"Not bad for a beginner." He pointed to the left corner and said, "Passed!"

"Next!"

Merlon was right in front of William. Except for the prince, the three of them were lined up front to back. He turned to William and spoke. "This is the privilege of being royal." He said. Then he continued.

"The element of light is very rare. So don't be discouraged. Is your affinity like your father's?"

Although William was a little surprised, "Yes, I am his son after all." He said.

The cause of William's surprise was the man he had killed on his journey. Since light and dark abilities were very rare, the mage he encountered must have been very powerful as well.

William had easily defeated him and sent him to Donkey Heaven.

'I hope there is no strong man behind him,' he thought.

In these few days, he had received some news from Merlon. For the relationship between Count Seymour and his father was not bad. Count Seymour had left the city with his father, the big Seymour(Father of Count Seymour), to take his son to the capital. Therefore, the city they left behind was left alone with almost no defense.

The mage, on the other hand, took advantage of the situation and sacrificed people's lives with the extremely rare technique.

Count Seymour returned as soon as he heard the news, but found the city empty. He even received a letter of condemnation from the king!

While human life was not very important to some mages, it was important to warriors. Some mages valued individuality, while warriors valued military majority and unity.

While he was thinking, it was Merlon's turn.

Merlon placed his hand on the magic ball. The ball began to glow.

"Gold-level talent. Affinity with water. He opened the pain meridian. Beautiful. Now hit." The man praised him as he spoke against Leslie.

Merlon stepped in front of the pillar and threw a weak-looking punch. The number '399' appeared on the pillar.

Even if it was a meridian, the difference was obvious.

"Passed!"

"Next!"

It was William's turn. No one had failed yet. He thought he would pass easily.

They wouldn't give the letter of recommendation to people like that anyway. After all, they were only allowed one every year.

William put his hand on the ball and waited. He didn't even need to channel the qi within him. The ball didn't shine as brightly as Leslie's and Merlon's, but it wasn't far behind either.

"Gold level talent, Fire and Metal affinity, Iro..." the man stopped speaking as if he had seen something.

He looked into William's face and spoke. "Son, how old are you?" he said.

William could feel the pressure emanating from the man. Fear and respect felt an emotion against him.

He responded quickly to avoid further pressure.

"Sir! I turned fourteen a few weeks ago!" he said.

The man pretended to be a little surprised. He called to the teacher who had brought them here. "Bring this boy's letter of recommendation!"

The teacher immediately found William's letter of recommendation and handed it to him.

After a quick read. "Okay, good, well done. You are ambitious. I love it. Now hit the pillar." Said the man.

At the man's words, William immediately stepped in front of the pillar and punched it with all his might.

"BOOOM!!" It was like someone hitting the castle gate with a ram's head.

William knew that the iron body could not help him. It was only for defense. It didn't add much to his personal strength.

The number '1.5' appeared on his pillar. William was surprised, but the man who took the test was happy.

"Passed!"

"Next!" he said.

At that moment, the crowd in line was surprised and began to whisper. Finally, a weak-looking boy from the end of the line shouted. "How can't his score be more than one and a half? This is unfair!" he shouted.

This young man was the head of the idiot. Even the teacher didn't speak up, how could he dare?

The man who took the test frowned and scolded the boy. "Damn it! If you don't like it, get out! If I say passed, it's passed! If you don't like it, there's the door!" he pointed.

The boy stared, stunned, blank. No one made a sound, not just him.

Merlon asked him curiously as William moved to the man's left and stood next to Merlon.

"How did you pass?" he said.

William raised his right arm and planted a kiss on his bicep. "Heheh! Because I am strong!" he said.

Everyone who passed by, including Merlon and Prince Leslie, reacted with disgust to his gesture and speech.

Prince Leslie even said, "Peh! Strong, my ass!".

William didn't care. He was happy that the man doing the test hadn't revealed his level. For now, there was a gap between him and those who entered the Academy with him.

And this gap would only be closed if William spent a few years in bed.

Since William would not stop, they would always fall behind.

William didn't care about their childish behavior. He watched patiently as the test continued.

Dullan also had a Gold Rank ability. He also opened to the Strength Meridian. When he hit the pillar, the shocking number '631' came out. Everyone was shocked and began to whisper. Many wanted to be friends with Dullan.

These numbers and pillars made William feel like a boxing machine in his former life.

It probably calculated kilograms of punching power in the numbers that appeared. Since his fist strength was definitely over a ton, and since he thought the pillar could only show three digits, he thought it had a strength of about one and a half tons.

He also realized that each meridian provided about one hundred kilograms of strength. In this case, he thought, his own strength was quite right and sufficient.

Soon everyone's test was over. No one failed, and no nobleman wasted his letters of recommendation.

The teacher took them to a large building in the east of the city. This would be their future home.

William was in room 28 on the 1st floor. He thought that there must be at least 1000 rooms in this building.

Because when he looked from the side of his room, he couldn't see the farthest room.

The size of the room was not bad. There was a bed, a desk, an empty bookcase, and a small bathroom.

According to what the teacher told them, the rooms even had a magic circle for gathering spiritual energy. Of course, this was a low-level version and not specific to certain elements.

However, there were also special places where certain elements, the Spiritual Energy Gathering Circle, existed. But he wanted them to find out for themselves and see for themselves how useful wisdom can be.

Finally, the teacher left, adding: "Each student can get one free meditation technique and one regular technique from the academy because he or she has just joined. You have to go to the Technique Building.

As much as William wanted to rush his meditation technique, he still didn't know if they would give him an iron-level meditation technique.

So it was in his plans to stay quiet for a few days and explore the academy.

After all, he would most likely go to the Black Forest to hunt. He had heard that different creatures lived in different parts of the Black Forest.

He had seen almost every creature of his level in his area. He was curious to see new creatures.

Perhaps he could tame one himself. Although his current horse had helped him a lot in the past, it was no different from an ordinary horse.

He wanted to ride tigers, even birds, like some of the young masters he had seen. Flying was still one of mankind's greatest pleasures.

He took his guitar out of its case and began to play to pass the time.

"My sweet tongue,

My smiling face

Ah, my gazelle eyed."

    A few days later, William left his room early in the morning to fully explore the Academy and get his meditation technique. The streets were definitely nicer than the capital. There was a building for everything. For example, the blacksmith building, the pet building, the potion building, and dozens of other similar buildings. The places he was most curious about were the Mission Building, the Training Building, and the Cultivation Building, where there were large spiritual energy formations that gathered certain elements. He couldn't enter the cultivation building right now, even if he wanted to. He knew that the moment everyone joined the academy, there would be no contribution points. From the Mission Building, he would have to earn them slowly and spend them after completing missions. Today, his first stop was the Techniques Building. It was a huge four-story building with a gray color. As he entered, he saw a few people sitting in the lobby, reading or chatting. The whole a

    The next day, William walked into the Black Forest early in the morning, showed his seal to the guards at the east gate, and announced his departure. He had planned a three-day journey for himself. One day to leave, one day to hunt, and one day to return. Several other teams entered the forest with William, but no one cared about William. After walking through the forest for a while, William realized he needed a mount. This area of the forest was mostly swamps. Sometimes he would sink into the mud and have to struggle for a long time to get out. When he walked until noon, he was finally able to get out of the swamps. He had never seen a man or a creature before. When he came out of the swamp, he was greeted by small hills. These hills were covered with various trees and were uncomfortably humid, though not as dense as a rainforest. He was worried that he hadn't seen any creatures since the morning, but after a while, his worry turned out to be unnecessary. He encountered a silv

    William became a prisoner of his greatest desire. While gaining strength was his greatest desire in this world, wealth was his greatest desire in his previous world. Right now, looking at the piece of black iron in his hand, he could feel both. He wanted to go down and look at the tunnels below. He thought, "I'll just take a look, if I don't find it, I'll come back." He went into the tunnel where the worm came from. He pointed his flaming sword down and saw that it was big enough for him to pass through. He rolled up his sleeves and went down. He could not walk completely upright, he was slightly bent. 'How big would a worm have to be to make this tunnel?' The walls of the tunnel were smooth and clean, almost as if they had been cut by a machine. Some places were even bright enough to reflect the light of his sword. As he walked about fifty meters deep and another hundred meters into the center of the narrow tunnel, he felt the metal element intensify. If there was something, it h

    By the time he arrived at the Academy, William had barely made it to his room. Though his wounds would heal in a few days, the exhaustion he felt right now was enough to kill him. He immediately sat down on his bed and quickly pulled a small box from his dimensional bag to bandage his wounds. It contained healing ointments, long thin cloths to bandage his wounds, and needle and thread. His wounds didn't need stitches. So he just rolled over. Then he quickly lay down on his bed and fell asleep, not even thinking about the reward for the mission. When he awoke, it was not yet dawn. Being so tired, his stomach began to growl with hunger. Since he was exhausted, the snake meat he had been eating for a few days was his only remedy. He cooked and ate on his sword as usual. The next day, he woke up very rested, although parts of his body hurt. But he felt energetic. As he watched the sun rise slowly from his small window, he felt that today would be a good day. He dressed early and wen

    [Days and nights I'm walking alone Like the wind, nowhere I belong...] William removed his hand from the guitar strings and looked at the others. All of their eyes were shining. This time not only the girls, but also the trio that had come with him looked at him with confused eyes. They thought he was just going to play something simple and funny, like an ordinary bard. But this song almost made them cry. As they listened, they dreamed of a lonely wanderer on the roads. It dragged them along for days like a grain of sand in the wind. Loneliness had penetrated their hearts. They imagined their faces in the wanderer. "William, do you have any more?" Venil asked. The tears in the corners of her eyes were like a climber holding on to a branch to avoid falling. William replied with a smile. "There are, but I can't guarantee you'll like them." "It doesn't matter, if it's like that, it doesn't matter at all." The four girls said at the same time. William found it hard not to laugh. "T

"This is where things get complicated, and yes, there is absolutely no one stronger than the academy principal!" "Why is that?" said William in surprise. Actually, he had just received the answer to this question from Teacher Yura this morning. "Before I answer that question, let me tell you about the illusions in Etha's first book." He took a sip from his beer. " The empires that Etha suspects in his book are unfortunately not on our continent." "What do you mean, not on our continent?" "Yes, I know it may be shocking, but we actually live on an island!" "Is...island?" William felt that things were gett

    The sun was setting when William came into his room. William really wanted to relax and play computer games. In reality, however, he knew that he would soon have to learn the techniques he had just learned. A week later he would have to go hunting with Baldur. Becoming stronger always occupied at least half of his mind. Now that thought only grew when he learned that he was trapped in a place that looked like a prison. So he quickly sat down on his bed and took out the copied scroll of the Execution Sword. The techniques were already done. They had given William the copy, not the original. That was fine, there was no change in the content. As he read, this technique took advantage of every bit of his interest. It was a very nice and useful technique. For a moment, he thought he was one of the characters from the famous movie in his old world. In this dream, he held a lightsaber in his hand. Dressed in an all-black cloak, he said "All too easy" after pushing his opponent off a hug

    Six days later, at dawn, William arrived at Baldur's house. He knocked on the door. Baldur's voice came from inside. "I'm coming!" After a few breaths, Baldur opened the door. He invited William in, but William spoke before he entered. "Come on? Aren't we going?" "I'm having breakfast?" Baldur replied in surprise. "Breakfast? Are you crazy?" "Why, what happened?" "Dude, there is breakfast everywhere in the Black Forest. Also fresh! Why are you eating here?" Through the opening between Baldur and the door, William had seen a few pieces of bread, sausages, and what looked like cheese. "Come on, pack up quickly, we'll have breakfast in the forest." He said. Baldur was someone who had hardly ever been involved in anything like this before. He had always been sheltered. Even though his huge body made him look like a strong and fierce person, he was usually either in the library of the Mage Tower or in his laboratory. He had hardly left his lab since his arrival at the academy whe

Since William was not aware of it for the time being, he entered the main hall of the mansion, thinking that he would show his usual behavior.He was wrong, as he thought he would only meet the City Lord. There were more than ten people in the room, and they were all sitting quietly in their seats, discussing something passionately. As soon as William and Doravoli entered the hall, the woman sitting at the front raised her hand and everyone suddenly fell silent.Then the woman stood and smiled.William recognized the woman.

    William was watching the bedroom of a house five hundred meters away from the roof of a two-story house. His eyes and face could not be seen in the darkness of the night. But a person standing next to him might have the impression that William was deep in thought.Strangely enough, William wasn't thinking about anything at that moment. It was as if there was a black hole in the bedroom of the house he was watching, and it was sweeping everything away, including William's gaze and thoughts.William felt lifeless right now, like a rock with no IQ.'How did this happen?' William had been on this roof for two hours and had asked himself the same question hundreds of times.Doravoli and Elasha for a few minutes, thinking they would leave after a farewell kiss, but he had listened to the lustful voices of the duo for two hours.'How did this happen?'

Opening these trade routes was never easy, as Valimar and the surrounding cities were surrounded by incredibly dense forests. Cutting down these trees and establishing observation points and crossing points were time-consuming tasks. And the hardest part was finding apprentice mages to work at these points.Nevertheless, she succeeded as usual because she was surrounded by hardworking people.

He immediately took the vibrating device out of his dimensional bag.It was the seal of the Expedition Organization, and it contained a message from Fabian.[Go to Valimar. Find Enid, the City Lord.

    "Have you finally woken up?" Doravoli looked at the weak William lying in the shadow of the rock. He had a sad, tearful expression on his face. He was sitting across from William, gnawing at the flesh of a small creature. It was a small lizard.He had a bandage on his cut foot.William felt more tired than ever, but when he discovered that he could move his hands with a snap of his fingers and a little bit of mana, he pulled hundreds of useful items from his ring. Most of these items were healing potions and blood crystals.He spoke with difficulty, as even the movement of his jaw was painful. "Blood crystals, put some in my mouth."Doravoli was also very tired. He even hunted down the small lizard he had gnawed, using his magic only because the lizard was too close. He waved his hand and, controlling his mana, took some of the blood crystals and brought them to William's mouth. Then he used some himself.Half an hour later, William regained some consciousness.

    "Absolute Cut!" William shouted at the top of his voice, attacking the real body between the two copies with the strongest ability he had.The wind blade that came out of the tip of William's sword flew unblocked toward its original target, too fast for the two clones to react. The moment William's sword emerged, it struck the man's body. William knelt in weakness, but he still had one eye on the man. He wanted to see him die with his own eyes.When the ability hit the man, his body split into two, just as William expected, and the two clones vanished instantly. The sword in the hand of one of the copies fell to the ground as if it were a real object and not a spell."Hğğğğğ..." (Blood-filled guttural sound.) A growl came from the body of the man who had been cut in half.William barely raised his head and looked at the man's body in surprise.Two separate body parts were resisting falling to the ground. He was still standing. The six-centimeter gap between them was covered by an invi

Even though names like 'Storm God', 'Nicolas', and 'Nak'kato' were unfamiliar to him, Doravoli would help in any way he could because he was his friend. -He knew who Nicolas was, but he didn't understand why the man in front of him cared about Nicolas.-William bowed his head. At the slightest movement of the man, he was ready to pull dozens of potions from his ring and cast his spells. He knew that this was a classic cliché and wasn't surprised that he found himself in it, but he only remained on the dark side as to why.While William was in deep thought, the man's voice filled his ears."I...You..." Suddenly the man froze. He made incomprehensible noises and his body bent slightly.

    "Hey Doravoli, you can't carve that wood like that!" William grabbed the flat chisel and the piece of blue ironwood out of Doravoli's hand."You never listen to what I say! Look at it again and pay attention." William began to get angry. Today was two weeks after he started teaching Doravoli blacksmithing. The two of them had almost reached the middle of the rocks. They were a little slow, but it was an acceptable pace.William held the piece of blue ironwood in his left hand and tucked it between his knees. Then he supported it firmly with his left hand and began to "float" the flat chisel on the surface of the blue ironwood with his right hand."Look, if you hold the flat chisel like this, none of the lines you make will be crooked. You have a strong body like mine, so this shouldn't be a problem for you. But you stubbornly insist on holding the flat chisel sideways, and that causes you to make little notches in the wood.

    The two guarded the area for a day and had fun until the next day. The townspeople never set foot in the area because Lennard had warned them. Occasionally, a few brave official mage-level adventurers would stop by, but thanks to William's ability to throw cups, the wounds they received from hundreds of meters away, and a few minor scoldings, escaping became their priority.The next day, Fabian appeared again like a meteor over Greyscar. The way he flew was so dominant, like an unstoppable rocket. It seemed as if he could crush anything that came his way. William realized that day that Fabian's speed was even slightly faster than the strengthened Lennard.Fabian came alone. There was no one behind him, and as soon as he arrived, he looked at William briefly and then quickly examined the surroundings. He didn't speak at all, and although that made William a little uncomfortable, he didn't care. He acted the same way in the first ruin he discovered. The second time he saw Fabian, he rea
