The Record of Orc Civilization

The children of class A began to gather in front of the podium. A young man in a military academy uniform stood with his hands behind his back, staring sharply at them.

Arrogance could be seen in the lifted chin and high confidence in his black eyes. His long hair was tied in a ponytail, exposing his sloping forehead. He had a tall, sturdy body with muscles visible under his academy uniform.

The commotion had long ceased, but the senior on the podium had yet to speak. The silence disturbed Artur, who disliked being looked down upon by anyone. He wanted to shout at the senior on the podium to start speaking, but he knew that the senior was a mage.

Unlike them who had not yet transformed mana flow into a constellation, the senior on the podium could already recite mantras and shoot magic. The danger Artur felt from the senior on the podium was several times higher than what he felt from Milton.

Despite that, he somehow felt that Robert was capable of fighting on par with the senior on the podium. Artur had great faith in his danger instincts. He had survived many times by following his instincts. That was why his best friend seemed to be hiding a secret from him.

A few minutes later, there was movement from the senior on the podium. He began to open his mouth and said, "Do you realize that you are all trash?"

An unusual opening, but it managed to draw the attention of all the children in class A. Their faces turned red, especially Milton, who began to clench his fists tightly.

"Do you think that after entering class A, you will become special people?" he snorted.

"My name is Guskov Valya, as you know, I come from the House of Valya. Even so, I haven't even reached Rank 100 out of all the military academy students. There are even students in classes B or C whose ranks exceed mine."

When those words came out of Guskov's mouth, all the children in class A held their breath. Then their faces turned into mockery and disdain towards Guskov. Especially Milton, who clearly began to sneer and whisper to his friend beside him.

However, Guskov wasn't offended and only smiled bitterly at the behavior of his juniors.

"If you think I'll lose to a student from class B or C, then you're wrong. The rank I'm referring to isn't an indication of the strength of the Military Academy's students, but rather their achievement in carrying out missions.

"But I don't mind admitting that I'm a loser. Because that's the truth. But I'm not a loser of the Military Academy, but a loser of class A."

"???" question marks appeared on all class A students except for Robert and Yin, whose foreheads began to crease as they realized something.

"Hehehe.. it seems that some of you understand what I mean." Guskov glanced at Robert and Yin.

"You two are right, I lost and became a loser. But I lost to other class A students, not class B or C students. For class A students, the real enemies are those who come from class A as well. We never consider students from other classes as our enemies.

"Class B and C students will only be cannon fodder during battles, but the commanding officers of the troops will be class A students. Those who stand at the top of the class A ranking will get facilities and resources that are even more abundant than the wealth of a small kingdom.

"The resources that the Military Academy has for class A students are vast, but is it enough to make 5000 students become Level 5 Constellation Mages at once? Of course, that's impossible! That's why class A students will compete, fight, and struggle to get more resources than other students.

"Those who lose can only bite their fingers and force themselves to be satisfied with a future without becoming Level 5 Constellation Mages. This is the real battle for class A students, a battle against those they consider classmates."

Guskov's words silenced all class A students. Those who had teased him had to hide their tongues deeply. Even Milton looked pale when Guskov finished speaking.

Guskov is right, the resources allocated by the Military Academy for Class A are indeed plentiful, but it won't be enough to make 5000 Class A students become Level 5 Constellation Mages. And with 10,000 new students in their current intake, the opportunity to become a Level 5 Constellation Mage is only left for half of them.

"Hahaha... now you understand how worthless you are? Hmm... before I give you tips for your life at the Military Academy, I want the promised points to be doubled," said Gustov suddenly, but no Class A students protested. Yin only nodded to once again represent the Class A students.

"Okay then, the first thing you should remember is that points are the most important thing in the Military Academy. Whether you're a first-year junior or a second or third-year senior. Even after you graduate, points are still important because they can be exchanged for benefits back at the Military Academy.

"In the Military Academy, points are more important than money or mana stones. In the guidebook and regulations given to you on the first day, it is written how you can earn points and why you lose points. Every point you earn is recorded directly in the memory ball of the Gurru Committee, so it's impossible to hide or duplicate them.

"However, the guidebook and regulations only record the results, not the process. For example, in the guidebook and regulations, you can earn points after passing the weekly exam and lose them if you fail.

"But do you know that the teachers at the Military Academy won't give you textbooks at all, and many of them don't even write down the lessons on the board, so it's almost impossible for you to take notes unless you have an eidetic memory.

"So how will you learn to pass the weekly exam? There are several proven ways. The first is to ask for lessons directly from the teachers, many of whom currently need test subjects for their new spells, or if you're lucky, you can find a teacher who has a sexual interest in you."

"Besides, having a pretty face and handsome appearance is not too important when you become a mage later on. So why not take advantage of it while it's still useful. Hehehehe...

"The second way is to buy notes from seniors. Usually, they don't ask for too much payment, only becoming bed partners for a few nights. Ah... if any of you want to buy notes from me, I don't accept any payment other than points." Guskov casually explained as if this was a common trade for him.

The noble female students of class A shuddered when they heard that they had to sell their bodies just for study notes. Artur felt that many of them eventually sacrificed their dignity for the opportunity to become a Level 5 Constellation Mage. f𝗿e𝗲𝘄𝚎𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫ℯl. c𝗼𝚖

"The last way is by borrowing books from the library. Class A has its own library, which is much more complete than the others. But you have to pay by the hour with points, and you're not allowed to take books out of the library.

"You can only take notes inside the library, and every book you use is also paid for with points. From this example, we can see how important points are while you're in the Military Academy, where practice arenas and rooms also require points."

Some students began to open their small books and take notes of Guskov's words. Artur also tried to take notes, although Guskov only gave a small example of using points, he had shown that all facilities at the Military Academy were not free as he had imagined.

"Although you try to save the points you get based on the guidebooks and regulations, all of that won't be enough to make you excel compared to other class students. You will only become a mediocre class A student whose name won't even be recorded on the ranking board.

"That's why you have to find other ways to collect points. One of them is by doing missions on the mission board. These missions are given by teachers, and they will pay for their completion with points.

"Most of the missions that you can do are simple missions such as cleaning the laboratory or donating your blood for experiments. Although the rewards are very small, they are at least enough to make you breathe a little easier.

"Another way is to hunt mutated animals or collect rare plants in the mana fields. The Military Academy has 5 mana fields, two of which are dedicated to class A. But if you choose this way, you will have to compete with seniors who have become mages.

"I think that's all I need to explain, and I won't take any questions."

Guskov made the students who raised their hands slump down. He smiled and immediately asked for his points payment. No one protested or dared to protest. Guskov walked with wide strides towards the door of the meeting room.

But before he opened the door, Guskov suddenly stopped and turned around, "Oh, and you should have good stamina and wear your combat gear on the first day of school." he said briefly before leaving the meeting room.

"What does he mean?" Artur turned to Robert.

Robert didn't answer and pondered something.
