That was also the result he desired.

Finally,

the Landon Family’s team of six, led by Leonard Churchill, won.

The battle concluded the small disturbance of the opening ceremony.

Although some people were still angry about the tactics that led to this victory,

a win was a win.

The majority accepted the fact that the Landon team received an “S” rating.

Young Master Sack was overjoyed.

And the six members, including Leonard Churchill, received the rewards they deserved.

In addition to the Demon God Secret Skill, they each received a reward of one hundred thousand points.

This greatly pleased Leonard Churchill.

These points would allow him to greatly accelerate his plans.

The Ariel Royal Academy operated on a “credit system.”

To earn credits, students had to complete courses offered by the academy as well as tasks and challenges set by tutors.

A single class could be worth approximately 10 to 30 credits.

That meant, without actively participating in academy assessments to earn extra credits and relying solely on class attendance, it would take about two to three years to accumulate one hundred thousand credits.

This put the group of six, including Leonard Churchill, far ahead of their peers.

For scions of great nobility, points were optional.

But for aspiring knights, this could be their best opportunity in life to access top-tier transcendent resources.

The impact of credits was significant.

For instance, they could be exchanged for transcendent resources, Demon Marks, Profession Cards, ancient Relics, and access to the library.

Theoretically, with enough credits, one could even redeem the Fifty-two Demonic God Secret Skill and the ancient Divine Artifacts treasured by the academy!

However, Leonard had heard that the introductory Mantras they had received cost about two hundred thousand credits.

Thus, unless one was obsessed with grinding tasks, it was nearly impossible to achieve during their academy period.

Leonard had realized that the essence of credits was actually the allocation of resources based on talent.

Students with talent usually had stronger abilities and could earn more credits more easily; thus, they could redeem better rewards, which allowed them to grow stronger and stronger like a rolling snowball…

Leonard wanted this so he could access the higher content of the library more quickly without raising suspicion.

Also, he had a tutor’s library card from Griffith, which provided higher library access and required fewer credits to use.

After the opening ceremony,

Young Master Sack arranged a grand celebration for Leonard and his team, and the rewards were plentiful.

Then, a routine academic life began.

Even the princes and princesses dared not act recklessly in the academy.

The Royal Academy was directly subordinate to the Holy Church, and its dean held a status equivalent to that of the kings of the three major kingdoms.

Here, everyone had to follow the rules.

The Royal Academy did not train incompetents; the talents of those who could attend were undeniably strong.

Apart from a few who were lazily mixing for experience and connections, most were eager to grow stronger and inherit their family businesses later on.

Therefore, the enthusiasm and competitive pressure among the students were also very high.

The Royal Academy’s courses were divided into compulsory and elective.

Compulsory courses matched the Professional Sequence, with one or two sessions a day, not too intense.

For example, for warriors, daily body cultivation classes at the Warrior Academy were mandatory, along with combat training, weapon drills, and sparring…

For the Magic Type, it involved studying various Spells, Meditation, and Curse Card Making…

Healers were involved in pharmacology, healing, and biology…

There were also general courses like Elemental Recognition, Basics of Spell, Basics of Barrier, Inscription of Curse Words, and Card Making…

And there were courses mandatory for nobles, such as etiquette, military command, and political analysis…

And some team required courses.

Elective courses were plentiful, including history, economics, culture, art, exploration, transcendent item making, dance, vocal music, demon beast research, archaeology… and so on.

It could be said that anything one wished to learn could be found at the Royal Academy.

Although the Ariel Royal Academy had only a history of two to three thousand years, it was a treasure trove of countless civilizations in the Cavern World.

The Academy’s instructors and resources were unrivaled anywhere.

After fully understanding the system of the Academy, Leonard Churchill felt like a fish from a small river who had entered the ocean for the first time, shocked by the profound depths of the Academy.

But at the same time, he was extremely excited and anticipatory.

Like a sponge that could absorb water infinitely, he had encountered an endless ocean of knowledge.

Normally, if the students did not want to overexert themselves, completing the required courses for the day would take half a day.

The rest of the afternoon and evening could be arranged freely.

However,

Leonard Churchill’s time was packed full.

He had chosen the path of a “Scholar”, a jack-of-all-trades profession requiring the learning of many diverse subjects.

So, daily, besides the required courses at the Mage Academy, he would even audit classes at other academies.

Even elective courses that were very niche, like “archaeology” and “ancient script studies”, which required a great deal of energy and time, were immensely appealing to Leonard.

As a result, his daytime class schedule was almost always packed full.

And the library was a place where, after classes, Leonard spent even more time than in his dormitory.

Thus, apart from meetings called by Young Master Sack, he almost never attended any time-wasting activities.

Various balls, networking cocktail parties… Leonard was never seen at such events.

He was voraciously absorbing all sorts of knowledge.

The knowledge taught in the first year at the Royal Academy was of the low-level card master domain, which was optional for Leonard’s native sixth-tier peak.

But the truth was, he listened with unmatched seriousness.

Only after getting into contact with this systematic and professional academic knowledge did he clearly realize his own weaknesses.

Leonard’s path to transcendence was unconventional.

Coming from being a Card Disciple, he relied on his own explorations and some guidance from precursors, never having systematic learning.

Thus his cultivation was like a dam, seeming to have a very high wall and holding much water.

But only he knew of the dense “ant holes” within that dam.

Those ant holes were even hidden in places Leonard himself could not detect.

They seemed like small voids of no concern.

But facing a master, those could become fatal vulnerabilities.

It was only after getting in touch with the top educational resources that he clearly saw where his shortcomings lay.

And the study at the Royal Academy was about finding those ant holes and then gradually filling them in.

Building a profoundly solid foundation for transcendence.

This was also the foundation of his “Myriad Aspects Domain”!

And precisely because of this, Leonard understood why the Rebel Dragon Army Leader, Griffith, had suggested he come here upon hearing his ideas about the domain.

Because from Griffith’s perspective, he could clearly see what was lacking.

And those kinds of ant hole weaknesses could not be precisely described, only systematically studied and gradually filled in.

…

“Sullen,” the perfect persona of a Scholar, also made his ascetic-like study attitude not arouse any suspicion from others.

Moreover… there were many hard-working students like him in the academy.

Those with great talent but poor family backgrounds, or fallen nobles relying on the academy for a turnaround, all grasped at this valuable opportunity.

Just like that, a month passed by in a blink.

Although the studies of this past month had been basic, Leonard felt like a weapon repeatedly tempered, impurities fading away, becoming stronger and stronger.

And after observing for a month, having familiarized himself nearly with the entire academy, Leonard then commenced his book-stealing operation in the library.

The Royal College Library indeed held countless secret scriptures.

Even the Fifty-two Demonic God Secret Skills were said to have over forty versions and original manuscripts.

This was the priceless treasure that Leonard most anticipated!
