Chapter 10 Requirements of the Academy.

Horus booked a cart to take them to the inner parts of the city. Varun and Nisha both saw many amazing things after entering the city. Suddenly, Varun's gaze fell on a building which was very wide and the thing situated on the middle of the building.

''Woah! Is that a TV on that building? But how?'' Varun could not believe his eyes. He asked shockingly and looked at his parents for answers.

''What? Are you talking about that thing which is showing videos and and moving objects, brother? Don't tell me that thing was also in your old world?'' Nisha asked with curiosity.

''Yeah, it is the same as my old world but how is it here?''

''Hahahaha, That is a visual artifact made by the 'Artificers'. It is certainly because of an idea given by an otherworlder to create something like this. It is truly an amazing artifact.

Otherworlders provide us many ideas and things related to different things to create and the Artificers are responsible for creating them.

If you ever see any artifacts resembling to the things from your old world then it means those are created by Artificers after taking some ideas from an otherworlder.

Artificer is a job class of people who like to create different and unique things. They are also very intelligent. They always do and make things for the betterment of our society. They become curious very easily for new things and new ideas. They always want new ideas for new experiments and discoveries.

In fact the new Alamine-chems paved roads were the ideas of otherworlders. Before that the roads were constructed with mountain rocks. Those stone roads were not very durable and very tiresome to make. Only the Capital had roads like that but with the discovery of Alamine-chems, the roads became very efficient and very low cost productive. Even the other cities have started to make it.'' Horus explained to both of his children.

'So Artificer is a job class which is the exact copy of Engineering in my old world.' Varun thought.

[Author's Note: Alamine-chems is a newly artificial chemical product made by Artificers and Otherworlders to improve the quality of streets.]

''But that visual artifact is not used everytime. It is only used to broadcast Royal Decrees passed by the King and some kind of tournaments held by academies etc. Sometimes it is also used to show where the hell beings have attacked and their numbers. According to that people also prepare to take caution and evacuate.

It is not used much because it consume too much cores to operate.'' Horus continued explaining to them.

'Um? core? What is that?' Varun thought but didn't ask anything about this core thing.

''Wow, then are those things flying in the sky? Are they also?'' Varun asked again.

''Yes. Those are called Laviators, those are also inspired by your old world.'' Amber said.

''These Artificers are really amazing then, because even in my world this was not successfully made to carry people till I was alive there.'' Varun said.

He suddenly asked them, ''Are there also something called robots here?''

''Robot? What is that? We have not heard of anything like that.'' Amber replied.

''Oh. I see.''

'Not very modern but still very amazing.' Varun thought.

While travelling, he also saw something like a bicycle but not very exact. It was very similar to a bicycle but with some differences. For example, it did not have wheels of tubes and tyres. The wheels were made from some kind of leather of a monster which could hold air in it. It also had differences in seats, brakes and chains in it.

It seemed like bicycles were very popular among young people in Capital City. It had been a long time since he rode a bicycle so Varun decided to buy one himself and for his sister too at later time.

Soon they reached to their destination. They walked out of the cart. After paying the fee, they entered in a place called 'Moon Palace Streets'. This place was famous for staying hotels, lodging and inns. They moved towards an inn called the 'Moonwalk Inn'.

The interior of the inn was very like a three star resorts on Earth. It gave the feeling of luxury but let me tell you it was one of the cheapest inn in the whole city. They booked a single room for ten days. It costed them twenty coppers for one night and day. It means two hundred coppers for ten days.

The prices of everything in the Capital City are as high as skyscrapers. Two hundred coppers are enough for middle-grade family to survive for more than six months.

The room they got was on the fifth floor and it took them five minutes to climb stairs and arrive on the fifth floor because there was no any concept of lift. It is not very difficult for people of this world to climb even fifty floors because of their built and strong physique.

The new room was very spacious even for all four of them. There were two king sized beds in two corners of the room. There were also chairs, tables, looking like sofa seats, one bathroom and also a big hall. Varun expected to see a TV here but was disappointed. After taking a shower in the bathroom everyone ordered foods of their liking.

After just ten minutes of waiting, food arrived in front of their room and they ate peacefully. After snacks it was a time of a small nap and the softness of the beds helped greatly in it.

When all of them woke up, it was already the time of evening. Now, there was a serious issue ahead of them, what do they do? They came all the way to the Capital City to help Varun manifest his Gift and his supporter but only yesterday they found out that he already had awakened his Gift. Now, what are they going to do here now? What about the Royal Academy?

An otherworlder has to awaken in front of the king or he has to show his Gift to the priests or king to get a certificate for a direct admission into Royal Academy on king's sponsership. At the time of awakening of Gift, all the description of the Gift is shown on the supporter/status screen of the Temple's supporter.

Either this or one has to take the proper admission test to enroll into Royal Academy. This is the legal way to enroll into Royal Academy. The special privileges are only reserved for Royals and Otherworlders.

''Dad, what are the minimum requirements for applying the admission in Royal Academy?'' Varun asked.

''The requirements are difficult but not impossible. One has to be at least Level 5 to even think about applying to Royal Academy. Do you know what this means? You have to defeat hundred monsters to reach level 2 so it means you have to defeat four hundred monsters to reach level 5. Each and every student of the Academy must have at least this kind of experience and potential to even survive in the Academy and this is just the first requirement.''

''Second requirement is that at whatever level you apply, you have to defeat the same level of a hell being in front of all the teachers in the academy.''

''You know there is a very big difference between normal monsters and hell beings. A hell being is filled with dark hell miasma which makes them a tougher opponents than regular monsters. Due to the miasma, their body becomes so hard that killing a hell being becomes a challenge for everyone.''

''If a monster and a hell being are at the same level then the hell being is more than three times stronger than a monster. It becomes very difficult to kill a hell being.''

Varun pondered for a moment before replying, ''Okay, I have decided I am going to apply through normal means and take the admission in the Royal Academy. For that first I have to reach level 5.''
