Chapter 34：100,000 (2/2)

After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the academy. Sam suddenly remembered something and asked.

”Do you know where Falcon Cliff city is?” Philip stopped and asked.

”Why?”

”Nothing. Just tell me.”

”It is the Count city which our city is under control of. What business do you have there?”

”Nothing much. I just want to visit it once.” The conversation ended. Then both of them walked inside the academy.

Philip left Sam and walked towards his own accommodation. Sam went to the place all the freshmen gathered. When the rest of the freshmen saw him all of them maintained a certain distance. But they cast him weird glances as they whispered. But he didn't think much of it. Soon some people made their way towards him. They are Jack and Shawn. Melisa is looking at him from a far seemingly hesitating to come or not.

”Hello, Sam.” Jack greeted him. Sam nodded and looked at Shawn who had an awkward expression on his face.

Shawn now understood why Sam kicked his butt so many times. Because he said that he would kick Sam's butt before with Jack. But at that time, he really didn't know who Sam is and in a moment of impulse he made some boasts and as a result, he is still feeling sore in the butt. After all, Sam heard that words loud and clear.

Jack didn't care about his friend's awkward situation and spoke to Sam.

”I want you to make me a weapon.” He asked Sam directly. Sam lifted his brow feeling a little amused.

”What kind?”

”A sword. I will provide the material.”

”It would be expensive.”

”How much?”

”It would depend on your requirements. But rest assured that it would be a bomb. Are you sure you want me to make it?” Sam asked again with a smile.

”I am sure. About the price. We can discuss later.” The conversation ended. Shawn looked at the two who are treating him like thin air and gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to say something, Principal came. He could only take it lying down.

”Welcome to all the freshmen. I won't waste the time with pleasantries. I will make quick. First of all. I apologize to Mr. Sam who was treated unfairly yesterday. I have already dismissed the elders from their position. So, you don't have to worry about them causing trouble.” As soon as he finished the freshmen including Sam were all surprised. Now, all of them understood why Sam came to Academy.

Principal didn't seem to care about anything and continued. There are mainly four areas in the school. The testing grounds, which you are not allowed to access. The training grounds which you are have full access to. The teaching area and finally the student accommodations. Other than these four areas there are some important buildings which are the library, the mission hall, the credit market. In this academy, everything would depend on the academic credits. You can buy resources through credit shop and you can enrol into the courses you like using the credits. The Credits are not only valuable in this academy but also in any other academy in the whole of the western continent. So, please use your credits wisely. In some time, you will be given the identity tokens which will also be the storage of your credit cards. Initially, you will all be given 10 credits each and you can use them to enrol in basic courses and any more than that you have to earn them yourselves. You can graduate from the academy as long as you break through to the novice stage or you can stay here until you earn 50,000 credits. If you earn 50000 credits you can directly enter the Academy in the Count city to further cultivate. I hope you will make use of time spent in the academy worth it as you will be removed from the academy in four years even you are nor graduated. I wish you best of luck. The senior student will take it from here.” He finished and left without turning back.

He didn't spare Sam an extra glance. After all, he still owes him a 100,000 spirit stones. Soon, a senior in the academy uniform came. He seems to be of third year as there are three-star marks embroidered on chest of the uniform. He first distributed some cards which are silver in colour.

”These are the identity cards for you. Inject your spiritual sense and mark it, just like how you would do with a spatial storage. After marking it when ever you send a wisp of spiritual energy it will display your name and the amount of credits you have.” The senior explained.

Many freshmen including Sam did what senior said and looked at the features. Sam has a total of 4500 credits in his card. He was quite satisfied with it. After explaining how to transfer the credits which is to tap with another card and direct the number of credits with your will, the senior guided them to the student accommodation. Sam, followed and finally found his accommodation. It is a simple stone house similar to the one he had in the Lava rock village. Sam didn't care much about it and went inside. There were already uniforms prepared inside. He tried it and felt that it felt that it fit perfectly. He was quite puzzled as how they knew his measurements. He didn't dwell on his thoughts and came out of the house and walked towards the teaching building along with other freshmen.

By the time he came to the teaching building there are already a lot of freshmen browsing through a big notice-board. That is the list of the teachers and the type of courses they teach along with the cost of course. Sam just took a look and didn't take another glance. He then went to the library.

The students were discussing on which course they should take and they didn't take notice of him. But there is a person in elder robes watching Sam's every movement. Sam slowly made his way to library. When he looked at the large section of racks and books, he felt quite surprised as he didn't expect the academy in a rural city like this would have this amount of knowledge reserve. Then Sam slowly walked towards all the sections and stopped at a rack named 'Artisan Section'. Sam came to this section, not because he wants to learn Artisan techniques, but rather he wants to know about the Artisans of this world. Because, the word Artisan has a different meaning in this world from his original world as there are only two types, weapon Artisan and Scholar Artisan. So, that is why Sam is curious about this. Sam took a book titled 'Who is an Artisan?' and sat at an empty table. When he looked around, he saw that the number of people is on complete contrast with the number of books. He opened the book and started reading. After a few hours Sam finally had his answers.

The word Artisan in this world is more or less same as that of his original world. It is just that many people didn't know about this. According to the book, there are many types of Artisans. Weapon Artisan and scholar Artisan are only two of them. They are tailor artisan, Painter artisan, Golem artisan, Wood Artisan, Puppet Artisan, Jeweller Artisan, Architecture Artisan etc. Then why didn't the Artisan tower have these categories?

Actually, they do. It is just that in such a long time there are no other artisans in this area that people forgot about them and the staff at the Artisan tower also got used to it. That's it. In fact, even in the count city Artisan tower he can find many other types of Artisan.

Sam looked at the book and had a mischievous smile on his face.
