Chapter NaN: Academy Rules
Personal Fragment—Secret Society!
The Apocalypse World Compass Carburettor placed the symbol of Secret Society on the forehead of the student, watching it take effect as the student kneeled on the ground, proclaiming with a tone of respect, “I greet Lord Spirit.”
The Apocalypse World Compass Carburettor vanished immediately after, as his summon was retracted. The student that had just become a member of Secret Society lifted his head in puzzlement, “Why am I kneeling on the ground?”
Of course, as the one that had bestowed the symbol vanished, so did the effect of Secret Society. And with it, the related memories too vanished, causing the student to stare in puzzlement.
Seated within a nearby room was Compass Carburettor, clicking his tongue at another failed experiment.
He was experimenting with the rest of his abilities to see how they functioned. But as he had expected, none of them worked when the Apocalypse World Compass Carburettor vanished. Thankfully, the energy blade materialised using the Trait of Permanence remained behind even after the creator vanished.
That was his only saving grace. Other than that, all his Apocalypse World abilities, including the Dust Wave vanished the moment the Apocalypse World Compass Carburettor that had unleashed them vanished.
Compass Carburettor then brought out his Apocalypse World self that immediately used Dita’s power on him. This was in an effort to enter his Dimensional Space, even though it was sealed by the Restriction Order.
The Apocalypse World self vanished for a moment before kneeling him in the face. He failed to enter the Dimensional Space and hence crashed into him.
‘So, it’s completely sealed.’ Sighing in response, he felt a bit dejected, trying to think of ways to go around the Restriction Order. Moreover, he also needed to figure out a way to interact with it.
Only then could he work with Rhizen to steal it from the control of the Systems and drape it over the Apocalypse World.
As it was time to address all the students, Compass Carburettor didn’t spend more time with the experiments as he slowly made his way towards the auditorium built at the base of the mountain, noticing all the students seated within, nervous, and excited.
There were people from all age and cultivation groups, from teenagers to adults, from mortals to Martial Origin Stage cultivators.
There were Human Grade Bronze Golems stationed in discrete locations among the auditorium as security personnel. Even though these Human Grade Bronze Golems weren’t too strong, they worked in maintaining peace.
After all, going against them on the first day was a sign of rebelliousness.
The moment Compass Carburettor arrived at the auditorium, he could feel the nervousness of everyone there, sensing their gazes on him.
Everyone here had gone through his test, experiencing irritation and a multitude of other emotions to survive against the masked Earth Compass Carburettor that tried to kill them. And, they were eventually killed and revived surprisingly.
The Elders of their respective Clans and Sects had informed them that everything was created by Compass Carburettor, conducting a test everywhere simultaneously. And these students relayed the same information to the students that were admitted through the general test.
As a result, everyone became aware that Compass Carburettor was a man of mystery, possessing unfathomable power at his disposal, gazing at him nervously, also anticipating what he had to say.
Staring at the crowd, Compass Carburettor scanned past their faces, registering their emotions before smiling, “It seems everyone is nervous. But there’s no reason for you to be so. The sole purpose of the Academy is to enrich your growth and turn you into experts strong enough to face the Evil Spirits. That’s our Academy’s sole goal.”
He waved his hand when Grisha teleported an Earth Grade Silver Golem near him. The golem made a mild bow before unleashing a voice by expending some of its stored Origin Essence, “I’ll be teaching the students the know-how of Evil Spirits, the ways to detect them, the goals of Evil Spirits, the means to kill or flee from them, etc.”
The Earth Grade Silver Golem vanished as Compass Carburettor continued speaking, “The Silver Golems are in charge of teaching you. They are equipped with all the knowledge you ever need. And they would exist for countless centuries. To those from prestigious Clans and Sects, you can rest assured that the Academy would continue to function just the same long after our deaths.”
Boom!
Suddenly, two fifty-metre-tall golems appeared beside him, shocking all the students, causing them to shiver from the sheer pressure the two golems emanated.
Compass Carburettor pointed at them and spoke, “The Heaven Grade Bronze Golem is the Vice-Principal of the Academy, in charge of the Academy’s security. It has strength on par with a peak powerhouse through its body toughness alone. Adding onto its Heaven Martial Spirit, it’s one of a kind.”
“Heaven Martial Spirit!” The students exclaimed in shock. After all, in the entirety of the Gaider Realm, there was just one Heaven Martial Spirit cultivator that had attained the peak of cultivation.
On seeing that there was another one in the Academy, for some reason, a sense of pride began to seep into their minds.
“The Heaven Grade Platinum Golem is also the same as the Bronze Golem and is the Principal of the Academy. These two would be the ones running the Academy for generations to come. So, you should get to know about them beforehand.” He spoke.
“Study well.” The Platinum Golem said as Grisha teleported the both of them away.
After that, Compass Carburettor began to talk about the various facilities that would be available in the Academy, stating, “The currency used in the Academy would be the Blood Vitality Pills that are divided into four Ranks of Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. So, everything would be exchanged using that. But, we wouldn’t be trading using them itself.”
He smiled, taking out a circular pearl coin inscribed with the word ‘Bronze’ using Mental Energy, “You’ll be using these to trade. You can exchange the coins for pills in the relevant department. But, taking the pills beyond the Academy is forbidden, so certain rules would be imposed upon the students accordingly.”
