Seeing all of the Ravenstein youths gathered around him, Atticus stood up from the ground and spoke, “I think it’s about time we find out just what the hell is happening,” .𝒎

Atticus said, and the rest of the youths couldn’t help but agree with him, all nodding in agreement.

And as if reading his mind, Atticus and the rest of the Ravenstein youth all raised their hands, clicking on their artifacts.

Atticus immediately saw a holographic interface materializing in front of his face.

Gazing at the interface, Atticus was a little surprised. Unlike the other two times that he had used his artifact, this was the first time Atticus was seeing some of the categories.

On the top left corner of the display, Atticus’s eyes landed on one of the new categories that had just appeared, ‘Academy curriculum.’

Out of everything on the display, Atticus was sure that this was where he could get his answers.

Focusing on it, the icon expanded, changing the display.

### First Year

– **Overview**

– **Leadership**

– **Shop**

Gazing at the new display, Atticus’s eyes swiftly landed on the ‘overview’ at the top, instantly focusing on it.

## OVERVIEW

Congratulations, Atticus Ravenstein, on finishing the test and joining the academy!

You are currently in the first year of the academy, and as first years, your instructions are as follows:

-As first years, after taking the entrance test, every one of you is required to either create or join a division. 𝘪𝘦.𝘤𝑜

Only those who ranked among the top 1000 out of all the youths who participated in the test— the top 1000—would be selected and allowed to create a division consisting of at most 1200 youths.

Each division would be sent to different regions inside the academy where they would be tasked to manage and survive for the entire duration on the year.

– **Current Objectives:**

– Create an organized group.

– Protect your territory from outside forces for one month.

– **Reward:** 20,000 DP upon completion.

– **Completed Objectives:**

– Survive and repel the monster horde.

– **Reward:** 10,000 DP upon completion. (COMPLETED)

*Note: More objectives would be issued to the Division in the foreseeable future. Stay tuned.

**Welcome to the academy Atticus Ravenstein. We wish you good luck.**

Atticus gazed at the overview message displaying a summary of what the first years were required to do. It was brief and straight to the point.

‘I see,’ Atticus thought. ‘This isn’t just another test; we’ve basically started the session,’ Atticus deduced.

Initially, Atticus had believed that the attack of the beast horde had been a test upon which they would all be graded, but from what he just read from the text, it was clear that it wasn’t and they had already started the academy session.

And everything that just happened was simply part of a normal day in the academy, not a test.

But one couldn’t really blame Atticus for coming to that conclusion initially. He had just finished an abrupt test and was suddenly transported with a thousand youths to the middle of nowhere, instantly getting attacked by a horde.

Just who would believe that this was all part of the first year curriculum?

“Hmm,” Atticus muttered, his eyes gravitating down to the ‘current objectives’ displayed below.

The objectives were easy to understand but far too broad, especially the first one.

‘They did say the academy was just a preparation for the military,’ Atticus pondered.

From the little information he had gathered before coming to the academy, Atticus was able to discover that the academy’s aim was to prepare the youths before they were sent to the military.

In essence, turning them into warriors.

‘Organized group? A military group?’

An organized group could be anything. And Atticus felt like the fact that they didn’t specify what group they were supposed to form meant that they were basically giving them free rein over everything.

But noting the fact that the academy was just a buffer for the military, Atticus decided that whatever group he would form should not be that far away from a military group.

Atticus turned his gaze around the area and saw the Ravenstein youths were all looking at their artifacts in slight confusion.

He turned his gaze back, his eyes focusing on the reward that he had gotten after completing the first objective.

‘DP? Are they like Raven points back at the camp?’ He pondered. Atticus felt certain that this was the most plausible explanation, his thoughts shifting to the Shop category he had seen when he clicked on the first year curriculum.

He initially wondered how they would even receive whatever package or resources they bought, but Atticus killed that thought.

Remembering how millions of youths were teleported thrice in one day without them even being able to react, delivering a few packages seemed very subpar in comparison.

Reading the overview a few times more to make sure he didn’t miss anything, an action done in less than a second, Atticus then navigated out of this section and moved to the next, the Leadership section.

Instantly focusing on it, this display once again changed.

## LEADERSHIP

Congratulations, Atticus. For your spectacular performance during the test, you have been selected amongst the 1000 youths given the responsibility of creating and leading a division.

The Leadership Role is as follows: As a leader of a division, you are responsible for everything and everyone in your division. The important decisions of the division would be left solely to you, the leader to make.

As a leader, you would both be rewarded for every win

/accomplishment your division makes and be punished for every failure or setback.

### Penalties:

– Every time a member of your division ‘dies’—gets shielded due to an attack that threatened their lives—the said member and you, the leader, get penalized by a reduction of Academy Points. 10% of the total for said member and 1% for the leader.

– Any losses the division makes in future battles or failure to meet the objectives would affect both the division as a whole and the leader at the same time, resulting in both a reduction of the Division points of the division and Academy points of the leader.

### Benefits:

– Access to special leader’s discounts in the shop.

– About 3% part of the points from the kills any one of the division members makes would be given to the leader.

– The leader would be rewarded separately after each win or completion of an objective.

*Note: Both the rewards and penalties listed above can be subjected to change in the foreseeable future. All leaders would be appropriately informed about any change.*
