Chapter 178 Visiting the Academy

After the freshmen in the square finished singing the song under the leadership, the dean began to introduce some of Emenas's systems. First, the freshmen studied in the central school building. In addition to the six compulsory main courses, there were many other elective courses for them to sign up for.

The requirements for promotion to the four major levels will be posted two months later. Only core courses will be taught in the first two months. After that, freshmen will understand the promotion requirements for the four major levels and then add elective courses according to their own intentions and interests.

Credits are awarded for completing each course and passing the exam. Credits have many uses at Emenas, which will be explained in detail later. Additionally, if you fail a course, the corresponding credits will be deducted. Please consider your ability to complete each course.

In addition to studying subjects and taking exams, the school also has many activities that award credits. For example, the same grade in each college will have a Morning Star Competition. The top few can obtain the Morning Star badge issued by the college and gain points. There is also a monthly competition held every year among the five colleges to compete for the title of the first place in Emenas.

In addition, Emenas also has competitions and tests for the 'Ten Crowns'. Each crown represents the highest title of the students in a certain field.

The holders of the Ten Crowns also have certain privileges and responsibilities within the school. For example, the holder of the "Crown of Melody" will lead the annual "Winter Festival Gala," designing and arranging various programs. The holder of the "Crown of Justice" will serve as the head of the Emenas Order Department, leading the members to maintain order within the school. The holder of the "Crown of Seven Colors" is responsible for the style and background of various events throughout the school. The holder of the "Crown of Leadership" has jurisdiction over some of the school's large outdoor venues and leads and arranges team competitions.

Finally, Emenas will also hold some special events based on some current events and promotions, such as the "Returning Geese" event held to solve the problem of difficult terrain and inconvenient transportation from a distance. It was at this event that the prototype of the airship was invented. Later, it was perfected and improved by some masters, resulting in the various types of airships today.

These activities not only earn credits, but also bring good extra rewards. After graduation, one can get substantial benefits through ranking and honors in certain activities. Just as Zenep once said to Loran Hill, if he can graduate successfully and get some honors during his school years, he can directly enter the senior management of Luerna after graduation and become a rare talent recruited by all parties.

As the sole highest institution of learning in the world of Ivar, Emenas's value is recognized by virtually every organization. Top students may achieve Sequence 7 status upon graduation, easily becoming leaders of smaller organizations. In fact, the vast majority of the continent's current leaders hail from this academy, and outstanding graduates are a ticket to the pinnacle of the ladder.

Because it means that you have defeated the most talented people of your age in the world.

After the dean finished his speech, the student council president Evelyn came on stage.

The student council president was none other than the current princess of the Cangcui Empire. She had long, light green hair that fell on her shoulders and reached her waist at the back. The hem of her white skirt was decorated with golden leaves. She had a perfect figure, and the whiteness of her chest that was exposed attracted the attention of many freshmen.

She seemed to have long been accustomed to the feeling of being noticed, and faced the gaze of the square calmly. Her golden pupils were as warm as amber and as gentle as jade, slowly sweeping across the entire audience. Although gentle, it also made the students who were seen feel a tangible pressure.

It is as translucent, warm and soft as topaz, yet very hard, and cannot be underestimated.

"Hello everyone, I'm Evelyn. Today I will briefly introduce the various places in the school and some things that need attention..." The voice like the sound of jade chimes spread throughout the venue.

She first introduced the four major levels in the school, as well as the activity locations and functions of each location, and then told everyone what they needed to pay attention to.

"If you want to shop or go window-shopping, you can go to the off-campus market on the west side. Walk through the Temple of Meditation, check in at the west gate, and then exit. There's a lot of staff and their families, indigenous people, tourists, and merchants living there. They have a wide variety of goods, and you can buy basically anything."

"If it's daily necessities, the school will distribute some regularly every once in a while. If it's not enough, you can also pick it up at a special place."

"Also, the High Tower Academy in the north is quite far away and located at a high altitude, so please be careful when visiting or sightseeing there. The lake to the east is called Jingyue Lake. The water is very deep and the bottom is very cold, so if you can't swim, please don't get too close."

Safety is paramount, no matter where you are. The student council president emphasized this repeatedly before the opening ceremony finally came to a close. The freshmen were led by their teachers on a tour of the campus, familiarizing themselves with the terrain and avoiding getting lost. Emenas is quite large, after all.

Since the colleges were quite far apart, they were still picked up and dropped off by magic motorcycles. There were about 50 people in Loran Hill's class. They boarded two cars and started heading east. Their first stop was Lakeside City Academy, an academy that brought together the Demon Sequence and the Nature Sequence.

Since the royal family of Cang Yue Kingdom, the predecessor of the Cang Cui Empire, majored in the Demon Sequence, and after the marriage with the forest elves, the Natural Sequence was also integrated into it, most of the students who chose this academy were students of the Cang Cui Empire.

The magic motorcycle first passed through the white stone streets of the central school building, gradually left the flat plains, and then entered the forest and rolling hills.

"Sister Luo Lan, there is a bird over there."

Ye Ling and Loran Hill sat in a row. She pointed outside the window and saw a red, long-tailed wind bird standing quietly on a branch, making a whistle-like sound. Its wings sometimes spread out in a fan shape like ginkgo leaves, as if it was courting a mate.

The brightly colored red feathers were very conspicuous in the green forest, and along the way, Loran Hill and his companions saw many kinds of birds, and sometimes even some squirrels.

As the vehicle travels through the mountains, surrounded by mountain roads, it seems as if it has entered a quiet and secluded world with few people. Nature appears in front of everyone in a certain original form. This is a novel feeling for some freshmen who have lived in grasslands and big cities since childhood.

"Well, that bird should be a bird of paradise."

Loran Hill said uncertainly that she didn't know what people in this world called this bird.

There was once a legend: There was a kind of bird that had no legs when it was born, so it could not rest and could only fly towards the rising sun without stopping until it was exhausted. It would then hit a thorn and let out a cry of joy, but the cry and its blood would turn into another bird that continued to fly towards the sun.

This bird is called the bird of paradise.
