This gigantic city hosted many races living in harmony, collectively constructing a diverse, magical society.
It was hard to believe that just a few decades ago, this place was a desolate wilderness.
"Cali, let us part ways here," the caravan leader said to a middle-aged man.
"I'll go arrange this batch of goods.
You take Orc and the others to the academy.
Someone will be there to receive them.
Just drop them off at the entrance and come back to find me.
You know where to go, right?" This was T the first time he had sent a youth from his clan here to study.
Initially, he was a bit nervous, wanting to oversee everything personally.
But after becoming familiar with the process, he became less concerned.
It wasn't that they didn't care about these students.
Every single one who came from their realm to study here was without exception the top talent within their power.
It's no exaggeration to say that they were the future hope of their faction, and losing any one of them would be a significant loss for their power.
However, Star City was very safe.
Not only did it have powerful six-tier legions guarding it, but there were also divine incarnations stationed here year round with them watching over Star City.
No one dared to cause trouble and these students would not face any safety issues.
Not a problem, Elder.
I know the way.
The middle-aged man nodded in the team.
Then called to the young people, the elders have other matters to attend to, so you all follow me.
Okay.
Soon the caravan split off a small team while the main force continued toward the commercial district and the small team headed in another direction.
Star Academy established with contributions from the members of Blood Dawn backed by many major stakeholders.
It was quite formidable.
Like any regular academy, Star Academy was also divided into two main departments, arts and marshall.
The norm acrossmies was a prevalence of marshall prowess over arts compared to studying various miscellaneous subjects.
Players and their kin preferred combat.
Star Academy was no exception, heavily leaning towards martial combat.
After completing the enrollment procedures and choosing a dormatory, followed his newly made roommates to the class he was assigned.
Based on the time of the blood dawn realm, Star Academy held admissions once a year, adjusting the number of classes according to enrollment numbers.
Classes within each grade were divided into three tiers, special focus, focus, and regular.
Different tiers had varying benefits.
In Orc's year, due to a smaller number of enrollments, there were only 17 classes, one special focus class, two focus classes, and 14 regular classes.
Which class one entered depended entirely on the results of the entrance exam.
Good scores meant placement in focus classes while poor scores led to regular classes.
Orc's entrance exam results were quite good, landing him in the first focus class, making him the only student from his faction to enter a focus class this year.
This indicated that his cultivation talent was indeed commendable, already comparable to the geniuses within the top powers.
Of course, getting into a focus class now did not mean he could rest easy.
At the end of every month, there would be a comprehensive assessment across the entire academy.
With class adjustments based on the results.
If scores declined, one could be dropped from the focus class to a lower tier class, which was quite brutal.
Competition at Star Academy was intense, but this was normal as the various expenses at Star Academy were not cheap.
if they were to continue normal teaching, what would be the point of coming here? Upon entering the class, work noticed that many students had already taken their seats and looking around, he saw mostly boys about his age, all at least mid-tier extraordinary.
Wow, impressive.
Even though he was not weak himself and was among the stronger members in the class, seeing the strength of the other students still left Orc genuinely astonished.
so many of them within one's own faction.
It's rare to see top geniuses.
Yet here they seem to be everywhere.
Oak is not considered the strongest member of his faction.
He is merely the most suitable one to come here.
After all, it was previously mentioned that coming here to communicate with other divine factions has quite an impact on one's faith.
Therefore, not every player's faction is suitable for this kind of experience.
This is perfectly normal.
The students are relatively young and no matter how talented they are, their minds are not fully mature and they have not constructed a complete belief system, it's reasonable that they might doubt their own faith when faced with challenges.
Thus, to prevent the collapse of faith, player factions conduct strict reviews for students studying abroad, assessing not only their strength, but also their talent, mindset, and faith.
Even so, Oak is among the top tier in his faction.
Yet upon entering the class, he finds all students are quite similar to him, which is understandably shocking.
This is the Star Academy, a place that gathers the hopes of countless divine factions.
It's truly terrifying.
Finding a spot to sit, Oak muttered to himself, his mind clearly a bit dazed.
At that moment, a voice came from beside him.
You're shocked, aren't you? This is a place favored by the gods here.
There are no strongest geniuses, only stronger ones.
Hope turned to see a boy with short golden hair, dressed casually, smiling, and looking quite approachable.
Could you let me have a spot? I prefer sitting by the window.
Not only is the air circulation good, but I can also enjoy the view when I'm bored.
The goldenhaired boy chuckled.
The scenery in Star City is quite nice, much better than back in my hometown.
Oak stood up and moved aside.
Thanks.
After the goldenhaired boy took a seat, he introduced himself.
I'm Harry from the Radiant Empire.
I'm Oak from the Hawks Empire.
Oak quickly replied.
You probably didn't te learn much about this place before coming.
Right.
Since I have some free time, do you need me to introduce you? Harry said enthusiastically.
As a member of the Radiant Empire, the information he had was far beyond what Oak could compare to, which was evident from A's reaction.
He is from the Radiant Empire.
Even among hundreds of divine factions, the Radiant Empire is a top tier existence.
Yet Oak showed no reaction upon hearing this.
This indicates that he had no understanding of the situation here.
In fact, Oak truly did not know.
Before coming here, he had been focused on seclusion and cultivation, trying to improve his strength to achieve good results in the new academy.
So, when he heard Harry's words, he was pleasantly surprised.
Is that possible? What's the big deal? It's not a secret.
You can even check it through the Campus Network channel, but it will take some time.
Harry waved his hand dismissively, smiling.
Then I'll trouble you," Oak expressed his gratitude.
Harry smiled and directly explained, "This year's enrollment at Star Academy is one 250 students.
With nearly 900 in the martial arts department, divided into 17 classes, one special focus class and two regular focus classes.
The three focus classes are fixed at 50 students each.
The special focus class has the best benefits, living in the apartment closest to the spirit gathering tree.
And every day there's high-grade beast meat provided for three meals and other food can be selected according to personal needs such as purification packages, strength packages, mental packages.
The teachers in our martial arts department for the focus classes are all 9th tier holy realm experts while the regular classes are a bit weaker but still reach the eighth tier legendary realm.
As Harry gradually elaborated, Oak began to gain a basic understanding of the situation at Star Academy.
The more he learned, the more shocked he became.
Compared to here, the education system in his hawks empire seemed a bit lacking.
However, he was not discouraged.
Rather, he felt a surge of passion.
