Chapter 75: Young Master
Staring at the ceiling out of boredom, I recalled what I had learnt about the academies.
This world didn’t have something like unemployment. Due to the war, the government and the 4 main kingdoms decided to use all the humanoid resources like me the moment they turn 18. Thus, the academies were made.
There was an academy for each different profession, ensuring that no one would stay unemployed even if they wanted to stay as one.
There was the Exalted academy for who awakened their mana and recently their aether. There was the cultivators academy for those who awakened their aura. There were also many different academies for normal people like cooking, servicing, cleaning, accounting, farming and so on.
And unfortunately, attending an academy wasn’t optional. They would put everyone under some tests to see what they have talents on. And for Exalted and cultivators, it was extremely rare for one to enter a normal academy. After all, why would they let a valuable fighter that could use magic work in a random restaurant?
Every year all the people that turned 18 will enter a similar ship like the one I was in. This ship would make sure that everyone reached safely to the place where all the academies were located.
Why didn’t they use a spatial gate?
It was definitely for safety! There was no way to lock a spatial gate. Everyone could enter them easily, including demons. They just needed to be a little fast to enter it before anyone could stop them.
And why was the ship safer? Because even though this sea was so beautiful, it was actually a dead zone.
Dead zones were basically places that contained the strongest beasts in Eldoria.
Of course there wouldn’t be a place safer than a dead zone to put the academies in, right? If demons wanted to pass through the sea without dying, they would need something similar to this ship, which would be slow, big, and easy to detect.
That was why no one was allowed to leave their room. The ship would definitely get attacked in the way so they didn’t want to see any student dying. And the air was even more dangerous from what I had heard so flying wasn’t optional either.
