Chapter 254 (2/2)

This was the library for the students of the Regional Academy. All year around, there would be three Conferred Knights stationed on guard. It stored countless powerful secret arts and highly confidential documents. The students and teachers of the Regional Academy were the only ones who could enter.

It was like the Shaolin Monastery’s sutra repository mentioned in wuxia stories.

Fang Xingjian walked up to the stone fortress and saw a huge wooden sign there. The wooden sign was five meters tall and half a meter thick. There were many names carved onto it.

This was the rankings of the students in the Regional Academy. When it was time for the National Selection, only the students who were Conferred Knights and ranked in the top ten could participate.

Fang Xingjian looked at the name of the person ranked in first position, Odysseus. The one in second place was Hildebrand. Fang Xingjian looked through all the rankings and then stopped at rank fifty-five.

Fang Xingjian continued on and saw that his name was at position 56. Fang Xingjian, Anderson, Hoult and the others were all ranked within the ten positions from rank fifty-six.

This meant there had originally fifty-five students in the Regional Academy. With them now, there were now sixty-five.

The only reason why there was such a ranking was because of the systems in the Regional Academy.

The Regional Academy was different from Kirst Royal Academy. There was no concept of classes. Every week, various courses would be arranged, and every student could choose freely the courses they wished to attend. Every year, there would be a test for each course, and the results of the tests would determine their credits for each year. A student would only be able to continue on at the academy if they accumulated the sufficient credits.

Another difference was that all students were assigned a ranking. Since Fang Xingjian and the others had just joined, their rankings were placed at the bottom.

The students who were ranked lower could challenge those who were ranked higher, and they could take over the other party’s ranking upon winning. The student who was challenged and all the students under him would be moved down one spot automatically.

Of course, there were requirements to such challenges. Each student could only issue a maximum of five challenges each year and could only accept at most one challenge each week. Additionally, it was forbidden to reject challenges.

Fang Xingjian swept a glance through the rankings before entering the library. He had to make the best use of his time to check on the information regarding job transitions.

He displayed his Knight medallion to the guards and entered the library. The entire library was segregated into three levels, and there were over ten rows of bookshelves on each level.

Students were free to browse through the books on the first and second level. However, the third level were filled with secret manuals of various Killing techniques, and one would only be given the rights to browse upon submitting an application to request for special access.

However, Fang Xingjian’s current goal was the second transition. He was not there to learn new Killing techniques and would naturally not need to go to the third story.

As only students and teachers could come here, there were very few people in the library. Additionally, it was very quiet. After Fang Xingjian entered, no one looked in his direction. He followed the rows of signs in the library and found the materials introducing the second transition jobs.

It was clear there were people keeping the library in order all year round. All the books were categorized and so were the materials on the second transition jobs. They were further categorized by strength, agility, endurance, and other criteria.

Clearly, for different categories, the progress they provided in attributes, as well as the requirements, were all different.

Fang Xingjian immediately picked up a book which introduced second transition jobs which specialized in agility.

He spent the entire night there, ‘looking’ through, in great detail, over ten books which introduced the second transition jobs specializing in agility.

Thank goodness he had already attained Heaven’s Perception. Otherwise, there was no way he could go through the materials.

Only when morning arrived, did he let out a breath and close the last book. Countless second transition jobs went through his mind, and he started thinking about which he should be choosing.
