Chapter 28 Secondary Training Agreement
"Dear father and mother, I think I'm going to die this time... Oh no, I think I can survive!"
Benjamin, who was "invited" away in the chaos, was taken to a secret room deep in the academy by several wizards from the law enforcement team wearing standard wizard robes.
The room was small, its walls made of some cold black metal, there were no windows, and only a heavy metal door.
Benjamin sat in a comfortable chair in the middle of the room. He was nervous at first, but then he found that things seemed different from what he had imagined.
Although this secret room seems to be heavily guarded, those wizards don't seem to care much about themselves.
He was not restrained, nor did he feel any forced energy fluctuations.
The wizards from the law enforcement team simply brought him here, and then quietly stood guard outside the door, without coming in or communicating with him.
Even on the small round table next to it, there were some exquisite snacks and a drink emitting a warm glow.
"What is this? Placement PLAY?"
This strange kindness made Benjamin a little confused, but he still felt a little relieved.
"It seems... the problem is not as serious as I thought?" He carefully picked up the drink and took a sip.
The liquid slid down the throat, bringing an indescribable feeling of comfort, which seemed to relieve mental fatigue.
If I really reveal that I have a cultivation system other than wizardry or am suspected of being a spy, the other party will never be so polite.
Wizards treat their enemies, especially those who may threaten the entire civilization, with absolutely cold and direct methods.
No binding, no interrogation, and even snacks and drinks... This treatment doesn't look like interrogating a spy at all.
Waiting for trial was not a pleasant experience, but this kind of pressure-free waiting made him feel a little relaxed.
He leaned back in his chair, but his body's internal circulation was running non-stop, and the layer of refined gold coating was secretly covering the surface of his body, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
I don't know how long I waited, but the heavy metal door of the secret room made a click and slowly opened.
A familiar figure with a slightly bald head and wearing an alchemy instructor's robe walked in.
Clark mentor.
Seeing that the person coming was Clark, Benjamin's heart immediately became nervous because of the students' natural fear of their class teachers.
He immediately sat up straight, his body tense, not daring to even breathe.
He thought that what awaited him next would be the instructor's cold questioning and scrutiny.
To his surprise, Clark didn't show any scrutiny or questioning.
His face was still expressionless, but his eyes seemed less rigid than usual, with a hint of...
"How should I put it? It's a gaze that examines the value of a commodity?"
Benjamin was full of questions, but he couldn't say them out loud, so he could only wait quietly for the result of his trial.
Fortunately, Clark didn't beat around the bush. He walked to a chair opposite him, sat down, and spoke directly.
"The 'Stainless Steel Isolation Material' you submitted has passed the highest level of testing and evaluation and demonstrates great potential. Furthermore, your calm and decisive response to the public laboratory incident, along with your accurate assessment of the equipment's core, demonstrates exceptional reflexes and talent."
Benjamin swallowed his saliva, not knowing what his tutor wanted to say, and was afraid that the other party would say "but" next.
Good things didn't develop as he imagined. Mentor Clark paused, then said a word that was unfamiliar to Jermyn:
"The academy has decided to initiate your secondary training agreement."
Secondary training agreement?
Benjamin was a little confused for a moment.
What is this?
I've heard Amy and the others mention that the academy seems to have some kind of apprenticeship training program, but the second-level training agreement... although it sounds similar, it doesn't seem to be the same concept.
Teacher Clark seemed to see his confusion and explained with rare patience:
"The Level 2 Training Agreement is established by the Star Ring Alliance for apprentices who are assessed to have the potential to transcend the official wizard level and advance to higher levels. This means that the entire alliance will focus on your training."
"Specific privileges include: your points account now has more purchasing privileges. Ordinary apprentices can only purchase items and knowledge related to first-level wizards, but as long as you have enough points, you can purchase almost any non-prohibited item within the academy's magic network, including some controlled knowledge and items."
"At the same time, you are granted the qualification to establish a private laboratory. You can have your own laboratory in the designated area of the workshop and enjoy a better research environment and equipment resources. Of course, the expenses will also be borne by yourself."
"The most important point is that you can use the academy's channels to sell your research products on energy communications throughout the Star Ring Federation. This is different from the mission center's energy communications, which can only connect within the school. This trading platform is not only for internal communication, but also crosses dimensions and factions, giving you access to countless broader markets and resources."
After listening to Mr. Clark's introduction, Benjamin roughly understood the value of this second-level training agreement, but he was still a little confused.
"Instructor, these... seem to be just qualifications?" Benjamin hesitated. "It feels like there's not much tangible support. For example, will the academy provide a lot of free materials or credit assistance?"
After hearing Benjamin's question, Mr. Clarke's expressionless face habitually revealed a look of looking at a fool:
"Points? Aid?"
He looked at Benjamin, his tone taking on the analytical tone Benjamin was familiar with in class:
"Apprentice Jieming, if you can't even earn the points needed for your own training and research, then you are not qualified to obtain a Level 2 training agreement, let alone prove that you have the ability to reach a higher level."
"These qualifications themselves are the greatest support. They remove the upper limit on your access to resources and broaden your channels for obtaining them. As for how much you can earn and how far you can go, that depends on your own ability."
After hearing what Mr. Clark said, Benjamin finally let go of the worry in his heart.
I see!
It seems that he was not treated as a spy or believed to be hiding some shocking secret. Instead, the academy confirmed that he had "investment value" and "training potential"!
So...
Now I am a “genius” who has cleared the issue of the material?!
Thinking of this, a feeling of relief instantly overwhelmed Benjamin.
He is finally safe!
At least, in this academy, under the protection of the rules, he is temporarily safe!
Benjamin felt relieved, but also a little embarrassed.
The huge psychological change made him unable to help but smile, and his expression seemed somewhat relaxed.
