237 Knight System Reform (1/2)
---
The Knight System Reform.
This is something that Raven had in mind even before his second chance.
His attachment to his home is just too much, even when he already ascended in the Divine Realm and began a new journey there, he still couldn't forget where his roots were. All of the what if's and what could've been's surface in his lonesome whenever something reminded him of his home.
In his travels, he thought about many things. In his bitterness, he told himself that if there was a second chance, he would do something to protect and strengthen his home.
Imagine what he felt when he realized that he went back in time…
The basis of the reform is simple. It is to form and raise a 'True Knight' amongst the ranks of the kingdom.
If there's something that Raven realized from his loneliness, that would be the fact that the word 'Knight' was just being used as a naming basis for a Cultivation Realm, it doesn't do proper justice and honor to the word itself. In the Divine Realm, he was enlightened behind the true meaning of that word. And he wanted to adopt that idea to his home.
A Knight is not just some position or a cultivation realm. A true Knight is more than just donning a fancy armor and some sharp and shiny weapons. Raven wanted to introduce the idea to his home, this is why he called it a 'reform'. He wanted to breed the finest Knights out there, and to do that he had to start where it all begins...
The Heavenly Cloud Institute.
Upon hitting puberty, a child will experience a weird dream which transports them into a mysterious place filled with heavenly bodies and constellations. There they would stand inside the Basin of Acknowledgement and their Spirit Entities will shine brightly for them, branding them with their potential and powers.
The problem is, the Talent Measurement of the Kingdom is heavily flawed. In the end, Raven couldn't blame them from not knowing anything and since he was here, he placed the responsibility of fixing this to himself. But of course, he needed help.
The first step towards the reform, is to unify all branches of the institute to one entity. He wanted to turn the institute into an Academy. There will still be a the Outer Students, Inner Students and Core Students. But the promotion for these positions had to be revised as well.
The new academic system will work as such. Upon a child's enrollment to the academy, they will be tested using the Spirit Identification Crystal Ball that Raven made himself. The examiners must know how to read the simple inputs that Raven place within the crystal. Once they identified what kind of Spirit Entity the child has, they will receive their initial supplies and a decision to pick the techniques that they want to train based what suited them the best.
These techniques are precisely the Cultivation Scriptures and Battle Arts from the Golden Sun Era's Inheritance. This is how he wanted to divided the spoils.
But no students will be given the full version of the technique. The Cultivation Scriptures will be divided into chapters and the Battle Arts as well. Once they reached the consummate level of the techniques they chosen, they could apply for the next chapters of the same techniques or pick another one.
The new system will also be introduce a thing called 'Academic Points' and 'Tickets'. This will be the main currency inside the academy. Academic points will be rewarded by accomplishing a task, such as doing mundane activities, passing the requirements set the by the Instructors, doing posted missions, claiming an achievement, exchange and many more, same goes for the Tickets.
In the Academy, there will be a Repository Hall, where they could apply for new techniques.
Training Hall, where they could train using the various training materials that the Kingdom managed to acquire and create plus the one's that Raven would create. This is also where that Formation Core would come into play. With this core, he could add the Elemental Zones from the Inner Court, and even the Ancient Royal Grounds into one place. All the training facilities will be managed by this core he made, which made it easier for them to guard, monitor and fix if something goes wrong.
Mission Hall, where they could apply for missions to earn currencies. Combat Hall, where they could challenge their peers to earn combat experience.
Study Hall, where most of the classes will be held and where Instructors tell students the true meaning behind 'Knighthood', teach general knowledge and theories.
