Three Great Academies

"That's great! Welcome to our family!" Loli's eyes lit up as she extended her hand toward Yan Chong.

Yan Chong hurried forward and wanted to hold her hand. Unexpectedly, the other party slapped Yan Chong's hand away and then slapped him again. Yan Chong was stunned as he looked at this strange operation.

Loli stopped suddenly and stuck out her tongue. "Oh my, I forgot you don't understand our etiquette."

"What etiquette?" Yan Chong was dumbfounded.

"That's right. First, let's put our palms against each other and smack each other's palms." Loli gestured with her palms, indicating for Yan Chong to follow suit.

Yan Chong stretched out his hand once more, but this time, he didn't grab it. Instead, he placed his palm against the other party's palm and patted it lightly.

"Then, slap the back of your hand again. Then, slap your palm twice."

Pa!

Pa! Pa! ~

"Right. Pay attention to the rhythm. That's it. Hold your fingers tight again. We'll hit with our fists. Alright, withdraw your fist and strike your chest. A knight's etiquette! Lastly, extend your arm and point your index finger at the other party. Blink your eyes and salute!"

Two black lines streaked across Yan Chong's forehead.

"This etiquette is…" Yan Chong asked.

"It's our Revolutionary Army's secret signal. If we encounter an imposter, we can use it to verify if he's one of us." Loli said proudly, "I designed this myself and received everyone's praise. How is it? Not bad, right?"

"Er… very, very good!" Yan Chong braced himself and said.

The atmosphere became awkward.

"By the way, I'm actually thinking about designing a more complicated set of hand signals. That is to say, while maintaining the right hand's movements, the left finger will also perform certain movements according to a certain rhythm. This will be a combination of numbers. It can change randomly in the future. Two hands moving at the same time is like performing a piece of music, noble and elegant!" Loli said excitedly.

"Wait a minute, I want to ask, how big is our Revolutionary Army now, how many people are there?" Yan Chong suddenly had a bad feeling and couldn't help but interrupt the other party's topic.

"Other than the six founders, including me, there are more than a hundred students. Although there are not many of them, more than half of them are above the Silver rank.

"Student? Are you all students?" Yan Chong asked in astonishment.

"Yes! What's wrong?" A puzzled look appeared on Loli's exquisite face.

"So, the Legendary big shot backing you is your teacher? Is the school so chaotic now? The students have gone to rebel and cause a revolution!"

"That's right. The six founders of our Revolutionary Army are from the three great academies of the Western Continent. Their potential is much stronger than a decaying Empire." Loli proudly said.

Yan Chong suddenly realized a problem. They were all students, but the students of the Endless Mainland could all be extremely powerful Extraordinaries. As for those teachers, they might be famous big shots on the continent. Perhaps, the Revolutionary Army was the graduation practice for the academy students.

"Don't worry, we still have thousands of students and graduates. One of the founders is trying to pull them in. Besides, once we gain the support of the people, our great undertaking will be in sight!"

Loli turns on her chatty mode and tells the story of the Revolutionary Army.

From this, Yan Chong also slowly understood that in the entire Western Continent, humans had established the Maka Empire and the other three Kingdoms. Furthermore, these three Kingdoms were split from the Empire more than a hundred years ago, and their relationship was not harmonious.

The Orcs occupied the northeastern region of the Western Continent. There were thousands of orc tribes, and in recent decades, an Orc Alliance was established.

In the Western Continent, there were many academies for Professionals. Among them, the Stellar Academy, the United Academy of the Western Continent, and the Glory Knight Academy were the largest.

Loli was studying at the Western Continent's United Academy, third grade this year.

The three academies were not under the jurisdiction of a single country. They were built near the borders between countries. They were more like a neutral organization that transcended countries. They were responsible for nurturing powerful professionals and high-level researchers.

However, due to some unknown reasons, the Maka Empire and the three academies had been at loggerheads for the past hundred years. Some professors who studied the history of the continent also published articles, saying that there was a major problem with the operation of the Empire.

As the internal conflict within the Empire continued to deepen, the six elite students of the three academies joined forces and formed the Revolutionary Army. They roped in hundreds of students and decided to save the people of the Empire who were in dire straits.

After all, many of the students from the three academies were from the Maka Empire.

Regarding this, a portion of the academy's teachers expressed clear support, while the other teachers didn't express any opinion, nor did they explicitly object.

"We may all be students, but when the Maka Empire was founded and united the Western Continent, the founding Emperor William Maka was only twenty-eight years old. He joined the army and was only sixteen when he participated in the war. Therefore, don't worry. As long as we give it our all, the future belongs to us youngsters!

"The torrent of fate has swept over. Brave warriors who are lost in the future, fight for our great cause. You will eventually become a legend and be remembered in history." Loli told the story excitedly, like a marketing leader.

Yan Chong could not remain indifferent. He could only try his best to show an excited expression and cooperate with Loli's speech.

"What we need to do next is to assassinate those Orc Captains without anyone noticing." Just as Loli paused and seemed to be tired from talking, Yan Chong quickly changed the topic.

"Yes, we just have to kill all the Bronze-Class captains. I've already killed five of them. As for the Silver rank Orc Chief, I still have to interrogate him and obtain their current plans. That's right, since you were able to jump ranks to kill the opponent, it means that your strength is not bad!"

"Well—"

Yan Chong explained to Loli how he used Dream Entry and Hypnosis to assassinate the opponent. At the same time, he copied the other party's [Invisibility D].

"Not bad!" Loli praised. "However, according to my observation, you are also a knight!"

Yan Chong nodded and said, "Yes, I have just learned the breathing technique, and Qi has already been produced in my body."

"So, which academy did you attend in the past?"

"Well, I really haven't studied in a specialized academy before. I was just a little playful and traveled the continent. By chance, I learned some cultivation techniques and battle techniques."

Even though the Endless Mainland was way too vast and boundless, only Legendary powerhouses and above could travel freely between the few continents. However, alchemy techniques were very advanced, so there were many teleportation arrays on the continent, allowing ordinary people to travel.

Of course, this was on the premise that you had enough wealth to pay for the teleportation.

"You're actually very talented. Do you want to consider coming to our academy to further your studies?" Loli suddenly asked.
