Chapter 326: Chapter 326

You have to admit, though Baobao may look a bit strange, he really knows how to lighten up the atmosphere. The students, who were initially rather standoffish towards each other, rapidly warmed up thanks to Baobao’s influence.

After everyone had introduced themselves, Baobao lightly clapped his hands.

"Firstly, I have to clarify that our school has some unwritten rules that you won’t find in the official rule book. Each academy, in reality, is like a corps. This is a tradition that dates back to the times when we were battling the Other World. It’s also a practice that helps us adapt to society in the future," he said.

"Even though we haven’t officially joined the school’s corps yet, we are considered the reserves. We are the 673rd term First Reserve Corps. In the future, once you join the student council or various clubs and organizations, you will become part of the academy’s regular corps."

Suddenly, Baobao laughed: "Of course, we are not real soldiers, so don’t take it too seriously. But within the school, we do enjoy better treatment."

"Hold on a second, you mentioned the 673rd term. Does that mean one term equals one year?"

Baobao nodded: "Of course, how long could a term be if not one year?" Baobao rolled his eyes. Du You didn’t realize that Baobao even had eyelids until he saw him roll his eyes.

"But if it’s one term per year, how long has this school existed? The world has only gone through major changes for about 500 years."

With an air of condescension, Baobao said: "Isn’t it obvious? Who said our school was established after the world underwent major changes? Our school has been around for a long time, and it originated from the ancient Grand Academy. After the World’s Great Change, we were the first to obtain significant government support, which eventually evolved into the Capital Academy."

So it was like that. Everyone understood. They hadn’t expected their school to have been a royal academy. No wonder it receives such immense support and has developed to this extent.

Let alone within the Asia Alliance, there are very few schools in the world that could be compared to Capital University.

Baobao continued: "As a new class, we need to cooperate well with each other. Likewise, as a reserve class, if we want to join the academy’s corps, we need to prove ourselves by performing well so we can get a better start in the future."

Baobao’s tone suddenly shifted: "Therefore, every reserve class at the beginning will collectively take up a mission. When it’s time to join the academy, these mission records need to be handed in. In particular, all kinds of combat records must be complete. Now, we will undertake a free trial in the Derived World."

"So there’re also Derived Worlds that charge a fee?" someone raised a question.

"Of course, the majority of them do charge a fee. To enter the Derived World or the Outer World, you need to pay with school credits. Without credits, your status is worthless. Remember, at Capital University, credits are the most important currency. All of our school’s resources and facilities are valued in this currency."

Everyone nodded. So credits were that important. Those who didn’t work hard to earn credits might as well give up on themselves. At least some of them are free.

The free ones at Capital University aren’t bad, but they definitely offer the least resources.

"Baobao, which world are we going to for our first mission?"

Baobao nodded in satisfaction: "Good, it seems that you’ve all realized what you should be doing. We are the first class and also the class with the best grades. So, of course, we can’t be just like everyone else. I propose that we pick a Derived World which will best display our abilities."

His proposal was immediately accepted by everyone. Given their academic standing, they all harbored some sense of pride.

Baobao took out the various materials he had prepared in advance and handed them to everyone. After a heated debate among the students, the Derived World they finally chose was one called the Gourd Island Battle.

"Well then, now that you have all decided on this world, I will provide some basic information for you to study. Don’t look at me; I only have limited knowledge. Any detailed information on the various worlds within the academy is strictly confidential."

"Why can’t it be disclosed? With all the time spent studying these worlds at the academy, shouldn’t they have been thoroughly researched by now?"

This time, Xi Qianxue spoke up: "That’s because the academy doesn’t want us to easily cruise through the Derived Worlds with these handy resources. That would only foster our laziness, so everything is left for us to discover."

Hearing this, Baobao gave a thumbs up: "Miss Xi is right. That’s exactly the case. Except for some information on the Outer Worlds that can be shared, nothing else can be casually disclosed. Some schools don’t value this, so after their students graduate and step into society, they have a high death rate and adapt poorly to the Other World environment."

Other than performing well in school and achieving high grades, these schools produced graduates who are good for nothing. Many of those who seemed to have high ranks turned out to be as good as trash after stepping into society.

Everyone nodded. Given their abilities and identities, they didn’t care if they had sufficient resources or not.

"The Gourd Island Battle is one of the most challenging worlds amongst those created by the school. It’s a world where a perennial war is taking place. In this world, two forces fight each other for control of Gourd Island. The world is only as big as Gourd Island itself, but the people living there are quite powerful."

While speaking, Baobao pulled out his pre-prepared information: "There are many beings with second-tier strength on Gourd Island, so you must be careful. And since there are so many of us entering Gourd Island, there’s likely to be just one mission."

"What mission?" someone asked.

"I don’t know what the main mission will be, but the clearance mission will surely be to help one party unify Gourd Island. If we can achieve this, we will be known as one of the strongest classes in our academy’s history. This will surely draw the student council’s attention."

Being the strongest class in the academy was a title that excited many. As for being ’one of the strongest’, it put them at ease. If others had done it before, why couldn’t they? No one believed they were inferior to others. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

"Everyone take some time to familiarize yourselves with the materials. If there are no issues, let’s depart immediately."

After a while, everyone prepared their things with confidence and followed Baobao towards the entrance to the Other World located in No. 49 District. Their place of residence was also in No. 49 District.
