Novel Full Chapter 453 Factions
While nobody was asking about it, they all thought the same thing. Losing 30 levels because one doesn’t go on a solo mission every two months? How could they cultivate if they had to spend two months in seclusion?
Since they were now forming their Star Cores, they would need to spend even more time in seclusion to focus on that. But if there was a penalty like this, they were screwed.
Of course, Victor seemed to know what they were all thinking. He just smiled and decided to ease their rising unease.
“First, know that the academy means business. This place is not for the weak. This means that the moment you stepped here, you chose to walk the path of the strong. There is no retreat unless you want to be kicked out.
“You won’t understand that now, but you will in the coming weeks. However, to address the issue of a solo mission every two months, if you want to enter seclusion, you can update your status via the tracker you will be given.
“That said, I know what you might be thinking. If I can just update my status to say that I am in seclusion, won’t that help me avoid missions?
“The answer is simple: if you get caught, you will be expelled and blacklisted on all warrior charts.”
Everyone gasped.
They all exchanged looks, and for a moment, they all felt despair. Indeed, they had stepped into the big leagues, and their safe lives outside wouldn’t do them any good here.
‘This place will be much more fun than I anticipated,’ Klaus muttered, hearing the strict rules.
He wasn’t about to spend his time in a place where he wouldn’t get to have fun. His life was much more complex than most.
Although he had many women to ease his burden, he wouldn’t be 100 per cent calm, knowing his next tribulation could be his last.
So, hearing that there was such a system forcing him to be much more active, Klaus was elated.
[Brat, this place is much more complex than you might think. I advise you to be more active to gain your desired recognition and favours. Up above this place, there is something I believe can help with your illusion talent and Class.]
<Really… Senior, what is it?> Klaus smiled, hearing this.
[For now, I can’t determine exactly what it is since this mountain is just too unusual. But as you climb higher, I will be able to pinpoint it.] The senior replied.
<Okay, Senior, I will work on getting to the top soon.> Klaus was happy.
For now, he didn’t have much need to worry, considering his illusion class was something he planned to cultivate well.
His Weapon Overlord Class was entering the next phase since he had awakened Sword Qi and Sword Intent. He had to focus on getting acquainted with many weapons immediately.
This was because the path forward for the Weapon Overlord Class was the sword intent he had formed. It was still in its early stages, but he would soon start pushing it further. He needed the challenge.
But aside from that, he wanted to see what he could do with the illusion class. If possible, he wanted to see if he could push the illusion class further before his bloodline awakening.
Since Fruity’s memories haven’t appeared yet, he can only do this much and wait for the moment he awakens the part of him that was said to have plunged the universe into eternal ice and illusion, earning the moniker “the Renegade Monk.”
Klaus was looking forward to that day.
But while he was happy about how competitive and challenging this place would be, others weren’t having it easy. That said, he didn’t care, and neither did the academy.
They would provide them with the tools; what they do with them will depend on how much they want to grow.
“But while in seclusion, the maximum time you can spend in seclusion is 8 months. If you don’t come out after 8 months, you’ll lose 30 levels. Of course, if you benefit from your seclusion, rising back up won’t be a problem.
“Bear in mind, though, these trackers are your second life, so don’t lose them.”
“Now, onto the next point: factions. I know you’ve already been briefed, but since we’re doing this, I might as well go over it again.
“There are 8 powerful factions in the academy, and every last one of you is entitled to join one. The factions will be displayed when you climb up so that you can join them.
“Each faction has benefits they offer their members, so be sure to look through them before joining. There are also special talents wanted in each faction, so focus on the places where you think you will benefit the most.
“Joining a faction will enable you to go on faction missions and other activities you’ll learn about when you get your trackers and join a faction. Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire
Also, each faction has its own ranking system, so rank high to earn more resources from your faction.” Victor didn’t want to say much for now. There are other important things to talk about.
“The moment you get your trackers, you must register for the classes you want. You must assess them all and know which suits your talent and class. That said, you will all have to attend some compulsory classes.
Those will be assigned to you, depending on your schedule.
Also, there will not be any classes for the next two weeks, as this time will be spent learning about the academy, joining a faction, and getting to know each other. Of course, this also means there aren’t any challenges to rank up.
The inner disciples will come down to see and meet you all. Also, you are required to join a faction within the next two weeks.
“Now, right after you climb up, you will each have to visit the registration halls to register and receive your trackers. Then, you will be assigned your apartments. Don’t worry, there are more than enough apartments, so you won’t have to share a room with anyone.
To those of you who have already received some celestial points, you can redeem them when you get your trackers. You will also receive an additional 2000 Celestial points, as your meals must be paid for using the points.
There are no free meals here. You will also get a starter pack containing your first month’s resources; don’t waste it.
I will repeat, each and every one of you must join a faction by the end of the two weeks, or you won’t gain faction benefits.”
Everyone nodded in anticipation.
“Now, before you go up, the academy ritual must be performed,” Victor said, turning to his left. There, a disciple who seemed to be from the previous generation stepped forward with a smug expression.
“The academy has a ritual, and this ritual is a duel. The top ranker from your batch will face the current top ranker in the outer section.”
Victor smiled and turned toward Klaus. “Disciple Klaus, since you are the top ranker, would you do the honors and step into the arena?”
Klaus smiled. ‘Well, it’s time to announce my presence. Big Daddy Klaus train has arrived.’
