Chapter 254: The Elf Miss's Forced Guidance
Combat Skills Department.
From the name, it was not difficult to guess that this was a subject about learning combat skills.
It was just that everyone's talent was completely different, so they should not be able to obtain a unified combat skill.
According to Liam's speculation, if a student obtained a skill, the teacher should be able to specifically teach the training method for the skill.
"Now your identity is the same as mine, belonging to Baldr's class."
"Class? Can you be more specific?"
For the word "class," Liam was naturally very familiar. It was just that he was worried that his understanding of it and the concept of a class in the Academy District were not the same.
Leon Vardenburg patiently explained: "A class is a class in the Academy District. You can think of it as a Familia.
I, as a teacher of a class, am the captain of a Familia, and the students are the members of the Familia.
However, because there are many students, it is operated jointly by a few gods, teachers, and some students.
So both teachers and students must receive the divine Falna..."
Through Leon's explanation, Liam understood.
The reason why the students were divided into classes was mainly to avoid the students coming out of the Academy District being labeled as belonging to a certain Familia.
For example, if A had once been in Familia A, and after studying at the Academy District, went to work in Familia B, he might be regarded as a spy by Familia B.
So to ensure the purity of the students, and also to eliminate the suspicion of the world towards the students, the Academy District generally only recruited students without a Familia.
And then they would be personally bestowed with the divine Falna by a certain god in the Academy District.
Liam was convinced with Leon as his teacher.
If the two were in a life-and-death duel, he was not one hundred percent sure of killing the other party.
And the other party was also a Lv7. Such a powerhouse was worthy of Liam's respect.
Of course, even an existence much weaker than Liam, as long as they were not an enemy of Liam, and had good qualities and morals, would also receive Liam's respect.
Dependants in this world were regarded as dangerous elements. Their physical fitness that surpassed ordinary people, once they broke the law, would cause serious consequences.
For example, a Lv1 adventurer, as long as they wanted, could easily slaughter hundreds of ordinary citizens.
Now Liam had not yet been re-bestowed with the divine Falna by Baldr. Perhaps later he would need to meet Baldr alone and have his ability scores updated.
"I see. If the students are only bestowed with the divine Falna by the gods of the Academy District in the form of a class, then it will be easier for these graduates to be accepted when they join a Familia again."
"That's right. This is the current strategy of the Academy District."
This should be a policy that the gods of the Academy District had discussed and came up with together.
Dependants could convert their allegiance. And the ability scores, skills, and magic that the graduates had obtained in the Academy District could also be brought to a new Familia after conversion.
Currently, Liam still had one magic slot. If he really wanted to learn magic, he had to master the most important one.
Of course, it didn't matter if the magic obtained from the magic slot was not ideal.
The power provided by the Sword Soul template was already astonishing enough.
"Currently, the system of the Academy District is quite similar to a national-type Familia. God Baldr, as the representative of the 'Academy District,' calls himself the principal.
Besides that, in terms of status, all the [classes] are equal..."
Hearing Leon say this, could it be that each class had a god in charge?
A national-type Familia seemed to have a system of a main god and a subordinate god. While Leon was giving his introduction, Liam found that there were a total of ten classes here.
For example, Baldr's class, Iðunn's class, Bragi's class, etc. To distinguish which class a student belonged to, one had to look at the badge worn by the teachers and students.
The current Leon was a faction cadre of this Baldr Familia. He should, besides teaching the students knowledge and morals, also be cultivating the students' strength.
Afterward, the bell of the central tower rang. This was to indicate that the class bell had rung.
Leon led Liam and moved through the numerous buildings, and then stopped in front of one of the houses.
This was the school building, or could it be called a teaching building?
Liam followed Leon's footsteps and advanced inside the teaching building. The two advanced in a long white corridor, passing by one room after another.
Subsequently, he followed Leon into a certain large door, and then Liam saw a spacious classroom.
This place was as spacious as a performance hall, as if some elegant musical concert was about to be held here.
The long tables in the classroom were arranged in a semicircle, surrounding the podium and blackboard at the deepest part of the room.
And the seats here were of the tiered type. The teacher's desk, podium, and blackboard were at the lowest position.
The students' seats were higher the further back they were.
This arrangement could allow everyone present to easily see the board and the lecture content.
Thinking of the Academy District's course selection, and this teaching environment, Liam always felt it was somewhat similar to a university.
Liam's gaze looked at the students present. Humans, beastmen, elves, dwarves, pallums, and Amazons, they were all here.
Their ages all looked to be under twenty, and their number was over fifty.
After Liam and Leon entered the classroom, the students in the classroom all focused their gazes on them.
That gaze was full of curiosity. Being stared at by so many gazes, Liam did not feel any discomfort.
When he was in Orario, Liam had been watched by even more intense and numerous gazes.
Therefore, he had long since become immune.
A transfer student? Wasn't this the most classic plot of a Japanese-style campus story?
If he could also get the back row by the window, that king's hometown would have even more flavor.
And so Liam's gaze looked towards the back row by the window in the room, but unfortunately, someone was already sitting there.
Leon stood on the podium, "Today we will be explaining the Orario off-campus teaching. But first, let's introduce a new student. Zieg."
Liam took a step forward on the podium. This one step made all the students in the classroom look at him.
"I am Zieg, with no last name. A dark elf, from the city of Belra. Please take care of me."
When he had chatted with Hogni before, Liam had learned one thing.
After Hedin and Hogni had left their hometown, the dark elves and white elves there had lost their kings, and at the same time, they had lost their surnames.
So, now, even if there were still white elves and dark elves, they would not have a surname.
"A dark elf! My god, this is a legendary race!"
The gazes of these students turned fiery, and then they carefully sized up Liam's entire body.
The current Liam had white hair and red eyes, wheat-colored skin, and his left arm was a purely mechanical prosthesis.
It looked as if his left arm was wearing an arm guard, or perhaps his left arm had been amputated, which was why a prosthesis was installed.
The pitch-black prosthetic arm had mysterious blood-red patterns on it. Just by looking, one could tell that this prosthesis was a very expensive existence.
It might even be related to some kind of ancient alchemy technology.
Handsome, mysterious, powerful. This was the impression Liam gave these students.
"Please take care of me."
"I heard that the dark elves are a race handed down from the mythological hero age. It seems they really live up to their name."
"Student, do you need a girlfriend?"
Liam almost couldn't hold it together. These students were really so pure.
They didn't care about Liam's identity or anything. They only cared about what his personality was like, and whether he was pleasing to the eye.
The Amazon women, a few of them showed a look of wanting to eat him.
This made Liam a little helpless. The Amazon race seemed to be a race of only women.
Then, to have offspring, they needed to combine with other races, and then give birth to new female Amazons themselves.
And the stronger the male an Amazon combined with, the stronger the Amazon daughter she would give birth to.
This reminded Liam of goblins. Goblins seemed to only have males, and could make any female creature give birth to male goblins.
Same as the Amazon race, the stronger the female creature that a goblin bred with, the stronger the male goblin that these females would give birth to.
Leon waved his hand to stop the class of students, "Zieg passed the test in the city of Belra where the Academy District had once stayed.
However, due to personal reasons, he was only able to officially enroll today. I hope all students can take good care of Zieg."
"Yes!"
All the students of the Combat Skills Department nodded. It seemed they were all very curious about Liam.
After the brief introduction, Liam's gaze searched for an empty seat in the classroom.
"Zieg! Come sit here!"
Liam's gaze looked towards the center of the classroom. There, a female half-elf was speaking to him.
Next to her, there was indeed an empty seat.
And so Liam sat next to this half-elf. Through chatting, he learned the other's name.
Nina Tulle.
The same surname as Eina. Could the other party be Eina's younger sister or cousin?
Sitting in his seat, Nina chatted with Liam very enthusiastically for a while.
Perhaps it was because of Liam's handsome appearance, Nina's good impression of him was very high.
"Zieg, if you have any questions in the future, you can ask me."
Liam nodded in thanks, "Thank you very much. If I have any questions later, I hope you won't find it troublesome."
"How could I?"
Liam glanced at the other's badge. It was the same light ship pattern as his, so she was also a part of Baldr's class.
If that was the case, it seemed they would indeed have frequent contact in the future.
Elves seemed to have a moral mysophobia. So for Nina to be so enthusiastic towards him, Liam was also a little surprised.
The Amazons were enthusiastic and unrestrained, which was very normal. And for a half-elf to be so enthusiastic towards him, this also made Liam consider whether he should make his appearance a little uglier.
Later, he thought it was better to forget it. Since they had already met, maintaining his original appearance seemed more convenient.
His eye color, hair color, and ears had all been changed. Even if his appearance hadn't changed, he thought no one would connect him with Liam.
Changing one's hairstyle and clothes would make others feel like a different person.
Not to mention Liam's current disguise.
With him intentionally suppressing his own ability scores and template attributes to Lv1, the surrounding students could not see through his disguise at all.
At this time, the golden-haired female elf in front of the two turned around and looked over. Her gaze sized up Liam and she said with a grin:
"Student Zieg, don't be deceived by Nina's gentleness. She's like this to everyone.
If you want to date, please consider me first."
"Senior Mili!"
Nina's pretty face flushed. It seemed her little thoughts had been exposed by Mili.
"I see. Let's put dating aside for now. I'm very interested in studying."
"Students of the Combat Skills Department, the coming time is very important."
When Teacher Leon began to speak, the students immediately straightened their attitude. His loud and clear voice attracted the attention of all the students present.
"The Combat Skills Department is about learning skills related to combat and the proper mindset. You all should be aspiring to become combat professionals, right?"
Listening to Leon's words, only then did Liam realize he had misunderstood.
So the Combat Skills Department referred to knowledge in combat skills and mentality. He had thought it was mainly about learning related skills.
In this world, a dependant could master three magics through the Falna, one development ability for each level up, and an unlimited skill slot.
Because there was no limit to the number of skill slots, even if there were only three magic slots, there was no fatal flaw.
Liam was slightly distracted, and then he immediately corrected his attitude and continued to listen to the lecture seriously.
"Currently, the general outlets for combat professions are as follows:
Knights of the Empire, the navy of the sea nation Thessala, the court mages of the magic nation Altena, or the adventurers of the Labyrinth City Orario.
And no matter which outlet you want to choose, the experience gained in the Dungeon, one of the three great secret realms of the world, is无比寶貴 (incomparably precious)."
Through Leon's introduction, only then did Liam discover that there were so many divisions of power outside of Orario.
Clearly, in the past six months, he had been conquering the Dungeon, thus ignoring the overall pattern of the whole world.
Of course, it was not too late to get in touch with this part of the understanding now.
According to Liam's understanding, the Dungeon should be the easiest place in the whole world to raise his template level.
So even if he went to other places to subjugate monsters later, the time and energy spent in the Dungeon would be worth it.
"Three days later, the Academy District will lift the ban on entering the Dungeon. You all can also accept a faction experience.
Among them, what the school has issued to all the students of the Combat Skills Department is—a special Dungeon internship."
"Faction experience?"
Liam thought of the intelligence provided by Hermes before. When a Familia recruited students from the Academy District, there were two methods.
One was to directly convert their allegiance and join a certain Familia.
The other was a faction experience. Only after both sides thought they got along would they then convert their allegiance.
Liam looked at the blackboard. At this time, Leon was writing on the blackboard.
Because he had already learned the common language, he had long since mastered reading and writing the common language.
"Each small team, you must go to a floor that matches your own strength, and then take down the dropped items of specific monsters.
Afterward, we will give you academic credit rewards according to your battle results."
Academic credits?
This thing was a real hard currency in school.
Liam complained in his heart, but he didn't have any resistance. The Academy District, as the largest knowledge repository in the world, he was naturally very willing to study hard here.
If possible, he even wanted to learn all the knowledge here!
Knowledge is power, knowledge is a weapon!
"I have to warn you all, absolutely do not cheat. For example, by buying dropped items from other adventurers.
Once discovered, you will suffer a very severe punishment."
Leon's words made the students' hearts a little afraid, "I once discovered a cheating student.
And so I took him and let him stay in the Dungeon for three consecutive days and three nights, and it was a super-high-intensity Dungeon battle.
I think you absolutely do not want to know what he experienced in those three days..."
The classroom became extremely quiet. These students looked at each other, at a loss.
Leon's words were like a demon's whisper. No one dared to answer him...
