Chapter 48：Resources (1/2)

Not only humans fighting against humans, but also demihumans were against demihumans, and beasts fighting against beasts.

”The video you just watched were collections of clips from the previous battle in the Worlds Magic Academy Competition.” Suddenly said the elder in a stern voice that devoid of emotions.

It was cold and a little hoarse.

Ahem. (She cleared her throat once again.)

The Elites remained silent waiting for the continuation of the elder's words.

”Probably, some of you might already know the purpose of Magic Academies. Or why it was in such a rule or system. It was of course to prepare you from the sudden attacks of the real enemies lurking everywhere. But before that, some precarious issues needed to be solved at first.

Right now, this academy was in a tight situation and was in danger of getting pulled out from this world. If that happened, not only the academy would be gone.

Also the city itself.

Since, this city's resources mostly came from the academy's trainees, who were tasked to complete some task at hand or to gather some resources in dangerous places such as the outskirts of the city.

And mostly by winning competitions.

It was one of the world agreements in the Worlds Alliance that humans from the Outerworld were not allowed to pull resources from this Innerworld. Such as mining or drilling oils, even farming was not allowed.

This is also the reason why there is no modern transportation in this world. Actually, we could acquire resources through product trading.

The value of the resources we get depends on the value of the products we traded. These products are, for example, herbs, monster parts, potions, and any items that can be gathered around the city or can be made by us. With these products, we could acquire resources such as oils, stones, metals, foods, and etcetera in exchange.

Yet, the value we acquired could only satisfy the city residents' daily needs. And we are even in danger of starving our fellow residents.

More on that our current situation was at the bottom of resource ranking.

Every academy who won the competition would be able to acquire a massive amount of resources as competition prizes. This prize was equivalent to 10 years of total consumable resources in a city.

That's why, in order for the city to function longer, we needed to win in the competition.

Yet it was not easy to succeed. After all, in this world, there are 300+ academies around the Innerworld.

At the moment, the city had only year-long resources at hand.

Ordinary citizens had no means of fighting mutated beasts. Some might be able to gather some, but not so many that it could satisfy the consumers' heavy demands.

Moreover, ordinary citizens could only gather enough for themselves.

Thus, right now, not only us, the elders but also the academy committees decided for you to undergo more serious training.

Magic Academies are also the training grounds of future militaries, professionals, association magicians, and heroes.

But these past few years, the Middle Region Magic Academy's' previous results could only be described as bad.

The rank bottom in all the academies resource ranking. Although in power ranking, the Middle Region Magic Academy ranks higher. That was because of the appearance of two individuals.

One is the son of the famous magician from the Seeker Association and from a prestigious family, known as Almond Amulet.”

Almina's eyes twitched from the name. This name was of course very familiar to her, after all, It was her big brother.
