Chapter 38: Advanced Academy. The Will of Flame Glare
Chapter 38: Advanced Academy. The Will of Flame Glare
Fort Vienna had nine advanced academies, including the civilian academy that William went to, as well as the noble academy that Vilya was in.
These nine advanced academies gathered all the young people in the fortress.
And these nine advanced academies were all in the East District where the rich lived.
Of course, the area they occupied was different. The noble academy that Vilya attended was the highest-ranked academy in Fort Vienna. It occupied the largest area and had all kinds of facilities. They even had a huge swimming pool for the students to train their stamina.
Earl Vienna allocated the most funds to this noble academy every quarterly.
The worst academy, which occupied the smallest area, had the most number of students. It was called the Ninth Academy, and most of the students in it were born in poverty. Many of them came from orphanages like William.
Although the ability to awaken talent was random, and there might be a phoenix in the henhouse. But the path of cultivation was difficult. It required a large number of resources. It would still take a long time for them to become stronger without money to support even if they had good talent.
And when one lowered their head and bitterly cultivated to the Earth Rank, they might look up and find that the students around them were not as talented as one, but rich had already reached the Sky Rank, or even higher with sufficient resources.
Therefore, that was a vicious cycle. The academies with fewer resources were getting worse and worse. The noble academies were using large amounts of resources to train their students, and they were also getting stronger and stronger. The gap was gradually widening.
However, no one felt that this was not good. The strong preyed on the weak in this world. Becoming stronger was everyone's wish. No one forced anyone. One had to risk lives if they didn't have the resources. There was endless wealth in the wilderness, and only the brave could obtain it.
Moreover, whether it was the noble academies or the Ninth Academy, they were all training experts for the Human Alliance. The most basic things would still be taught. It was still the hope for many ordinary people and orphans, no matter how bad the Ninth Academy was.
The Ninth Academy not only did not charge money but also gave subsidies to them every month. Unlike the tuition fee of ten gold coins per quarter year in the noble academies.
William relied on the subsidies of the orphanage and the academy to survive during his most difficult times. He could eat and live in a shelter.
However, the house that William rented in the West District was too far from the academy. He had to get up at dawn every day.
It was because the Ninth Academy's area was too small and there were too many students. The dormitory district couldn't accommodate them, so they could only let the students live outside.
William walked on the way to the academy, but his mind constantly thought about the lucky draw in the Stealing System.
He couldn't just rely on luck to decide whether to draw the lottery. He also needed a safe place. What if he activated the lucky draw in the fortress, and a huge phantom of the Dragon God appeared like the last time he stole the Ancient Dragon God Bloodline? It would be easy for him to get exposed.
Therefore, he had to choose a hidden place. The wilderness was the most suitable place to draw the lucky draw if it was so.
Then there was no rush. He could draw the lucky draw the next time he went to the wilderness.
After all, the lucky draw was important, but William's safety was also important.
"Hey, William!"
Suddenly, a slightly frivolous voice entered William's ears, interrupting his thoughts.
He realized that he had already arrived at the Ninth Academy when he raised his head.
Of course. He was in the East District. So it was naturally a shorter distance than walking from the West District.
The gate of the Ninth Academy was made of wood, which made it look cheap, unlike the surrounding buildings. The main building of the academy was an ancient castle with a long history. There was no other choice, and it could only continue to be used like that as they had no money to renovate it.
The largest area was the playground. The Ninth Academy did not have the same treatment as the Noble Academy. They could not afford to build an independent swimming pool, so they could only rely on the playground to carry out physical training.
Every academy paid great attention to the physical training of their students. After all, their Endowed Supernatural Abilities were what they should be. They could run fast and possibly survive if they encountered monsters in the wilderness, which they could not defeat. Strengthening physique was something that everyone had to do. They had to develop their physical abilities to the limit before awakening their Endowed Supernatural Ability.
William withdrew his gaze.
A young man stood in front of him. It was Sam.
Sam's face was full of disdain. He flicked his hair and said, "You're so late. I thought you were eaten by the monster last night."
William was stunned. He remembered that although Sam's house was also in the West District, it was far from the house he rented. There were no newspapers and news in this world. How did he get to know that a monster had appeared last night so quickly?
Although the gopher monster was big and strong, Fort Vienna was bigger. It could not affect Sam's place. Unless... more than one monster had appeared last night!
That's right. Since there was a mastermind behind it, why would it only release one monster to cause chaos?
William analyzed many things from Sam's words.
However, the way he lowered his head and pondered was a sign of fear in Sam's eyes.
"Hahaha, look at how scared you are. Did you pee your pants last night?" Sam laughed loudly. He had always been timid in front of William in the wilderness. Now, he finally saw William's timid side.
However, William frowned and raised his head to glare at Sam.
The will of flame was subconsciously automatically activated because of the disgust in his heart. A ray of flame flashed in William's eyes.
William did not notice it, but Sam was so scared that he did not dare to speak. His entire body was trembling.
However, the will of flame dispersed in just a moment. William walked past Sam towards the academy.
Sam stood at the academy's entrance, with the other students walking past him. His face was full of fear, and his legs could not help but tremble.
"How, how can he be so scary! Just a look from him made me feel like I was about to burn to death. What's going on?"
He was roaring in his heart. He had already noticed the strange looks from the students around him. He wanted to escape from here, but his legs did not listen to him.
Shirley arrived at the entrance of the academy and saw Sam standing in the middle of the gate.
"New guard?"
Shirley walked up and said with a smile, then brushed past him.
Sam's face was blushing, and all he felt was embarrassment and anger.
"Damn William! I must take revenge! You have embarrassed me so much! I won't let you go!"
He exerted all his strength and moved toward the academy bit by bit. The people around him all thought he was a weird person and hid far away.
After all, anyone who saw a person imitating an ape, half-squatting, and holding his leg when he walked would think that he was a weird person.
There was even someone who kicked him from behind. He did not see anyone when he turned around, so he could only feel aggrieved. However, he blamed all of this on William, and the hatred in his eyes grew.
