Kevin and William

" ignore him, That little group of three are assigned to 1st Grade class and they are gathering everyone who is assigned to 1st Grade class. "

Hearing this Ash turned his gaze to the direction of the voice.

The voice came from a boy who was of the same age as him and was currently walking towards him.

" Hi the names Trevis. " Trevis said. "I arrived just a few minutes ago before you and he did the same thing to me so I guess you are also in 2nd Grade class, " Trevis said with an awkward smile.

Before Ash could reply both noticed a small commotion at the entrance of the ship

Ash also turned to see and he was dazzled by the sight of two equally beautiful girls.

One of them had long black hairs and blue eyes with a perfectly developed figure and the other girl had fiery red medium size hairs and red sparkling eyes with an equally stunning figure.

these two girls enthralled both boys and girls.

*cough*

this sound was like a clap of thunder and everyone snapped out of their state.

Ash noticed that another person was on board right after the girls entered. It was the middle-aged female who took Ash's second test in the entrance exam, Mrs. Calor.

After having the attention of all students she said with a smile, " looks like everyone has arrived. It's time to depart now. " With that, she commanded Captain with her Digi-x to start moving before shifting her attention to students.

" Now let me explain some things regarding our Academy to you, First although you all are currently students of SylphySpirit and you enjoy more benefits competition is equally hard. if you can not progress to beginner Rank in two months then you will have to drop out of the Academy. We will not waste resources on those who are not worthy. "

Some students gasped hearing this while Calor continued, " Second thing is that every month you will have to report at the test center so we can check your progress and allocate resources to you. If you progress more then you will more get more resources. And if any students of 2nd Grade Class are able to awaken their spirit and reach beginner rank in the first month they can move to 1st Grade Class. "

Those who were Assigned to 2nd Grade Class clenched their fists in determination. They swore to work hard and reach beginner rank in the first month.

Calor smiled seeing this and explained a few more things regarding rules and regulation.

Finally after saying everything that was needed to say Calor walked away to one of the faculty rooms and those two beautiful girls also followed Calor.

It looks like these two girls had a special identity since Mrs. Calor told them to stay in the hall while these two girls seem to be an exception to her instruction even tho they both were of the same age as these new students.

Finally, after four hours, they seem to reach their destination.

They landed on what seems like a floating island. After coming out from Airship they followed Mrs. Calor.

The whole Academy Campus was 40 square kilometers and the campus was like a big town, It has everything you can ask for and more.

After entering campus they went towards the hall of 1st-year students.

the big five recruited students from every major city so there were around a thousand students in the hall.

After all, students arrived they did a simple ceremony. Then boys and girls left for their respective dorms on the campus. Their Digi-x already had the whole map of campus which shows the location of all facilities of the campus.

Ash finally arrived at his dorm and as he entered there were already two students unpacking their luggage.

"looks like our 3rd dorm mate finally arrived. sup, the names Kevin. " said a boy who had green hair.

"Hello, I am Ash. " Ash greeted him while putting his luggage down.

The dorm was 250 Square ft. and there was a lot of space with separate beds.

The other dorm member also came over and greeted Ash. His name was William.

They familiarized themselves with each other and among them, Kevin was enthusiastic and also strong it turned out that he was confident of awakening his spirit and reaching beginner rank in the first month.

William also has confidence in reaching the beginner rank in the first month. Kevin's spirit sea cap already hit 80 while William was also at 60. Kevin has Grade B+ Metal Affinity and William has Grade B Water Affinity.

Looks like their families are rich since they could afford to use spirit stones to cultivate before entering the academy. The majority of students are like Ash who did not make much progress before entering the academy.

After the three of them finished arranging their beds and unpacking luggage they left for the cafeteria to eat.

Ash was surprised as he saw more variety of food which contain spirit energy and this cafeteria also had spirit beast meat but it was very expensive. Eating spirit beast meat can strengthen the body but ash can't afford to buy it.

After eating and returning to the dome they directly went to sleep as tomorrow would mark the start of their journey of becoming strong.

After waking up at 7:00 in the morning they got ready for their first session of study at the academy. After walking for a while they reached their assigned classroom.

The first lecture was all about theories related to Spirit energy and how the spirit works.

After two hours the class was finally over and every student was hurriedly making their way out of the classroom and going in a certain direction.

Because after their first lecture comes the real part which is to cultivate their spiritual motes and students don't want to waste even a second as they made their way to the training hall of the first-year students.

Ash, Kevin, and William also made their way towards the training hall.

Training Hall

It was a big hall and there were many sections and rooms connected to the hall and currently, there were lots of students bustling in the hall.

Since the academy was floating so the concentration of spirit energy in the academy was quite high already but the training hall increased it by several times with the use of a spiritual gathering array.

Three of them entered the hall.

Ash decided to enter the room with normal spirit energy to cultivate more Spiritual motes and expand his spirit sea with Kevin and William.

A maximum of 50 people can train in one training room. Of course, there are more high-level rooms but Ash can't train in one of those rooms right now.

Ash entered the room and sat on an empty mat at the corner of the room while Kevin and William also spotted few empty mats and sat down to cultivate.

First, he wanted to observe his spirit sea in detail. In his small bowl size spirit sea, there were 10 spiritual motes gathered.

To awaken their spirit one needs at least 100 spiritual motes and spirit sea capacity needs to be at 100.

Ash started his cultivation after sorting out his thoughts.

The concentration of spirit energy in the room was the highest ash has ever seen but ash knows that it comes down to one's talent when absorbing spirit energy and creating/cultivating spiritual motes. those who have high aptitude can gather Spirit energy faster and create spiritual motes faster and ash's grade on that was B which can be considered an average grade in the academy.

Ash cultivated for 2 hours straight. He mainly focused on creating spiritual motes and expanding his spirit sea.

Ash took one hour and sixteen minutes to gather 20 spiritual motes and then used them to expand his spirit sea limit by 5, It was one more than he expected he thought his spirit sea limit would expand by 4 according to his previous results but it was one more than expected.

2nd Grade Class students can cultivate in the training hall for 2 hours daily while 1st Grade Class students can cultivate for 4 hours daily.

2nd Grade Class students get 5 low-grade spirit stones each month while 1st Grade Class students get 10 spirit stones each month.

After hearing the beep sound from his Digi-x which was a reminder about his use of 2 hours in the training hall he got up and left the room with Kevin and William.

Ash checked his progress.

<Spirit Ability>

Spirit Sea cap: 25

Spiritual motes: 11

Spirit Skills: none

Spirit: not awakened

Spirit Talent: not awakened

" The speed of cultivating here is 15 times faster than in outside, Wish we could cultivate all day " Kevin sighed as he said.

" The Academy needs to expand resources for everyone on this campus, We are just first-year student so what can you expect? we just have to work hard and perform better than others in anything academy tells us to do so we can get better treatment and more resources ". William said after thinking for a bit.

Ash listened and agreed with William. But it looks like it will be very difficult for him to Advance to Beginner Rank in the first month.

Three decided to part ways as Kevin wanted to roam the campus and William wants to visit his big brother who was a second-year student in the academy.

Ash started walking towards his dorm while thinking if he had something like a cultivating system or props as he read in those novels how good would that be, He can easily reach beginner rank in the first month with help of it. while dreaming about such things he reached the dorm and starting cultivating with spirit stones.
