Admission requires a test, and they are assigned to classes based on their respective cultivation levels.
Roger first took Lilith to the magic academy to line up, until Lilith completed the test and was assigned to a beginner class starting from scratch.
Then took her to the academy's accommodation, put her luggage away, and told her all the precautions of the academy, until he was sure that she had remembered them all, then Roger walked to the martial arts academy, looking back every few steps. If the two did not look similar and immature, people would really think Roger was Lilith's father.
By the time Roger arrived at the martial arts academy, most of the others had already finished the test. He didn't even have to queue up. After he went in and took a test of his fighting spirit, he was assigned to the intermediate class.
There is an unwritten rule in the Lyon Empire: poor people practice fighting spirit, while rich people learn magic. Because learning magic is too expensive, even ordinary wealthy families dare not let their children learn it. Only the children of nobles or wealthy businessmen have this opportunity.
Learning martial arts is fast and inexpensive, so it has become the first choice for many civilian children. Of course, nothing is absolute in the world.
A small number of civilian children are admitted to schools for free because of their extraordinary talents. Some nobles send their children to learn martial arts in order to train them to become officers.
From a broader perspective, most of the students at the Martial Arts Academy are from the civilian class. Therefore, the decoration of the Martial Arts Academy is not as gorgeous as that of the Magic Academy, but is more plain and simple.
According to the current classification of martial arts in Nirn, there are nine stages.
The first stage is the apprentice, regardless of their fields.
From the second stage to the fifth stage, there is a general name. Those who hold swords are called Swordsmen, and those who use other weapons are called Warriors.
The sixth stage is the Sword Master or Fighter.
The seventh stage is the Sword Hero or the War Lord.
The eighth stage is the Sword Saint.
As for the legendary ninth stage, there are the Holy Saint or God of War. , who will be recorded in the history books like the holy mage.
[A|N: I'll provide a chart for it in auxiliary chapter!]
Professions like Matar and Elfa also have their own nicknames, but the overall difference between the level classification and the swordsman's level classification is not much.
Most students in the martial arts academy start from scratch, and few of them come in halfway like Roger. The academy stipulates that students who practice fighting spirit to the third level and pass the martial arts test can graduate directly.
As for continuing to study, they need to pay a considerable fee. Therefore, many civilian students choose to graduate at the third level, and the rest will be left for future adventures.
Only noble children will choose to continue to study until they graduate from the fifth level.
At the same time, noble children not only practice fighting spirit, but also take military strategy classes. Soldiers trained in this way will directly serve as officers after going to the battlefield. Roger came to study this time, partly for this military strategy class. Of course, he did not want to be an officer, he just wanted to be a competent mercenary leader.
According to the instructions, he came to the residence. It was a fairly spacious wooden house. Although it was very simple, it was very clean. There were six wooden beds inside, and the beds were covered with white quilts.
Each bed was equipped with a simple cabinet and some simple toiletries. In the center of the room was a weapon rack, where they could place the weapons they used for daily training.
Although the living conditions do not seem to be very refined, they are relatively good compared to those poor civilians in beginner class.
Lying on the bed with his hands under his head, Roger was thinking about something. He came to the academy this time to learn and to carry out a mission. Although the name of the academy is Kulun Magic and Martial Arts Academy, it is not under the jurisdiction of Kulun.
All the academies in the empire are directly under the command of the royal family, so even if it is to arrest Alan Guel. For such a big event as Guel, Sophia has no right to mobilize the instructors in the academy.
Marquis Marino is about to die, and the dean of the academy, Waberlan, is jumping up and down, as if he will notify the royal family to send someone to take over as soon as Marino dies. Recently, the guards of the Marquis's mansion intercepted a secret messenger in the suburbs of the city and seized a letter from Waberlan to the royal family.
It not only mentioned that the Marquis had no offspring, but also exaggerated Sophia's killing of mercenaries and made her a female devil who brought disaster to the Western Territory. It also suggested that the royal family temporarily hand over the administrative power of Kulun and the Western Territory to the academy, and then hand it back when a suitable noble is selected to take over.
Sophia face turned purple and red after reading the letter. With her ruthless and vindictive nature, she wanted to skin the clown and expose his body in the wilderness. If Roger hadn't persuaded her, the guards of the Marquis's Mansion would have surrounded the academy that night.
Although he persuaded Sophia's to not kill Waberlan on that day, it would not be enough to quell his lover's anger if he did not kill him, so Roger thought it would be better to start from public opinion and find his stain. If that didn't work, he would frame someone and make him notorious.
To kill someone, there must be a legitimate reason so as not to cause dissatisfaction among the people and the royal family.
Roger was one of the first scouts Sophia sent into the academy. Their mission was to collect all the information about the academy, including detailed information about Waberlan and all the instructors in the academy, people and forces related to Waberlan, and the resources of the academy.
Only by knowing the details of the other party could they make a plan to make Waberlan completely "disappear".
