Chapter 14: 1st Day of Class

Unknown to most of the people in school, there was a good reason to have a credit system. If people were allowed to use money, then there would be a social inequality. While this benefited the commoners, many of the nobles were angry at this.

Classes last from 8:00 to 3:00. Each branch schedules their classes differently. For the crafters, their schedule is like this:

8:00-11:00 Battle Training Beginner

11:00-12:00 Material Gathering

12:00-1:00 Free Time

1:00-3:00 Inventing Beginner

Soula has just entered his first class at the crafter's beginner class. There were about thirty others there, but most of them were older than their teenage years. Only some new students were the same age as Soula.

"Alright, all the new students are here," said a man at the front. "I know some of you already know each other, but for the new students everyone will make introductions. Announce your name, age, where you're from, and an interesting fact. New students go to an empty seat and just sit down."

As everyone introduced themselves, it was now Soula's turn. "My name is Soula Voilong. Although my parents were born in the east, I was born and raised in the west. I am seven years old, and I wanted to join this class because I lack knowledge on the world's current technology progress."

After hearing the introduction, most people thought the same thing: "He's a country bumpkin."

Ending introductions, the instructor started a lecture on what they would be doing in class for the rest of the year. At around 9:00 the instructor told everyone that they would go to where Battle training is.

At a courtyard, the instructor continued, "Ok, those who already took this class go train. New students, just watch."

The senior students started training. Some trained their skills, some cultivated mana or ki, some did exercises to increase their stats.

"Most of you will have free time. Those who lack will have extra lessons. We will not grade your physical status, but this is because you will be graded on the materials you get. What you hunt will be graded, so battle training is necessary to pass this class."

After the training session finished the senior students took a quick rest, then the instructor guided us to a forest.

"This is the only place other than the underground dungeon that has wild monsters. The dungeon is called Material Haven. There are mines, plants, rare monsters, etc. that all are here for the sake of the crafting class. Sometimes other students from the other branches train here and sell their items to us."

After that, the students were released for free time. Soula walked back to the inn he stayed at yesterday to meet with the others. They all discussed what they would do and left when it was time to go back.

Back at crafting class, the instructor continued, "The last session is to use any of your gathered materials and create something. Every day, we will give you a goal, or what we want your invention to accomplish. Depending on how well your invention accomplish the goal you can receive an amount of credits. To move to the next class, you have to pay 1,000,000 credits and have created 100 inventions in class. Most of you will not pass in one year, but you should still work hard."

And thus ended the first day of class.
