College is Also About Fun

As our supervisor, Mrs. Senaria is responsible for all our initial administrative and academic interests. While for the next level, of course, there are other managements who handle it.

Pieces of information she gave in our current class are mostly about academic courses. How and what to pick, the requirements, and the effect it'll give on our progression here in the Academy as well as our graduation later on.

She also said that the courses list wasn't complete yet, we'll have the full list and the [CSS] (course selection sheet) later at noon.

First of all, there are credits that you need to acquire from each course, but the God of Dead tends to use the word EXP more, which is an acronym for Experience.

1 Experience is gained by participating in 50 minutes lectures for 13 to 16 sessions each semester. Each lecture gives a different value of EXP but in total, we need to acquire about 144 EXP to graduate or about 21 to rank up.

Yes, there are ranks in the Academy just like how it is in the Guild. The difference is we weren't using the original Guild's rank which is from Iron to Diamond, but we use apprentice rank that is from Sand to Glass.

The number of EXP you can achieve each semester is determined by your performance in the previous semester. So yea it is possible to graduate longer than your entire class or batch mate.

I think that's enough rattling for now. Let's get back to the story, shall we?

After finishing her lecture, Mrs. Senaria asked us to think of some kind of campus organization or club to participate with people of the same interest even if they're from other classes.

The Academy itself was just born recently so we're going to be the precursor for the archstudent organization system. I heard that other colleges which exist in the Cities Above the Cloud had all kinds of fun activities with their intra-campus organizations. Might as well try and make our own.

"Thank you for the class Mrs. Senaria!"

As our supervisor leaves, the class suddenly goes crowded with archstudents talking about those club stuff.

Especially for us Earth Shapers and Earth Scientists, all our lives have been dedicated to the military and the tribe. Sure we have our own share of fun, but never to this degree.

"So Brother Highness, you have the highest authority amongst all the archstudent currently enroll in the Academy… you got any suggestion on what kind of activities you are engrossed to do?" Asked Hada. I'm kind of surprised he isn't already demanding what club he wanted to make.

Well, he wasn't the type who likes to do the leading, yet always comes out on top, no matter what subject he follows. Unless that subject is tribes-related, like Genka and our smithing or Sarma and their tailoring, or combat class-related.

"Club eh? For me it has to be something that I get to learn something from rather than giving the knowledge… so if you wanted me to be honest, I kinda interested in music." I replied with my eyes glancing towards the sky.

"Music?"

All my teammates seem quite surprised but they can see how I would be into something like it.

"But aren't the one who can play such art only the Musician? Only two of them left on the New World, and that two is the ruler of our entire organization (Guild and Academy)." Chiya commented with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Well, there's also another who can wield such instrument." Hada set his sight on the team next door, and all of us follow where it went.

"Darmin (Blood tribe)?" Anna hesitantly asked.

"Correct!" Hada snapped his finger as he replied.

"Ah… I don't know about that…" My mind was full of doubt.

"Are you not comfortable with the Sea folks, My Prince?" Anna looks a little worried.

"C'mon la brother, you can't be racist towards all who emerged from the Ocean, only Taurus Family who've been seeking trouble with us since the first generation, the rest are fiiind…"

I don't know whether Hada is disappointed or encouraging me right now.

"I know… it's just… you know… I've killed thousands of them during our military study." I'm sounding like a sore loser right now.

"Well, no need to worry about it Bro-Highness, we can always go with another subject." It felt so embarrassing having Falisha consoling me like a child.

"How about martial arts?" Chiya asked, giving her suggestion. Hearing it Hazana excitedly nodded multiple times in agreement, showing her great interest in this particular field.

"Martial arts? Like Silek?"

Oh, this one kind of sparked my curiosity.

"Yeah! I see a lot of White Horn (sub-tribe of the Earth tribe, consisting of Pasilek like the Pandeka who greeted us when we first arrived) on their guard duty throughout the campus ground, maybe they can bless us with their teaching~" Chiya has that exhilarated look on her face.

"But aren't Silek exclusive to the White Horn? Even different families have different teaching right?" Anna's brows curled in doubt.

"No worries, we can always find out."

I quickly stood up from my chair to ask the Pandeka in our class about this condition. However, when I realized that he is on the same team as the pair from the Blood tribe, my body froze.

"Uh… Hada, would you be so kind…" I said to my ice brother, awkwardly shifting my gaze towards him.

"Bruh…" He sighed heavily.

"Brother, you need therapy, come to the campus clinic if you have the chance please…" Hada seems so fed up with my hatred or phobia towards the Sea folks.

"Uh…"

"I'll do it!" Falisha then took off from her seat and walks to approach the team I'm supposed to approach.

"Thanks, sis…" I said to her as walked past me.

"No problem Bro-Highness~" She replied, smiling full of kindness. She seriously resembled our Ice Mother.

When I got back to my seat, I saw her chatting wholeheartedly with all of the members of the neighboring team. She emitted cool energy rather than the cold one that usually comes from a normal Iska (Ice tribe in general). It's quite common in her mother's bloodline though.

"The big man said it's all good!" After a while, she then came back, looking all bright and excited.

"That's one in the bag, but we should discuss other possibilities before deciding."

"Agreed."
