Chapter 59: Targeted Banditry and Assassinations (1/2)

Chapter 60: Induction Ceremony

The man opened his mouth to speak when the city tower’s clock produced a half-deafening bell sound, indicating that it was 10 AM

“hello, dear first-year students of the Lionhearts Adventurers’ acadeuez I a that relates to first-year students

First of all, let me extend a sincere welcome to each one of you You’ve made it till here Either due to your hard work or connections It doesn’t matter anyst you You are all equal to each other

This ht sound perfunctory to you now But you’ll co on the acadeht off the bat I’otten inside the acadeot inside with their reserved seats There are two reasons why I feel like this

First, I too had to get inside the acadeh my skills and perseverance So I can empathize with them And second, those who had to pass the test to enter the acadee over most reserved seat students

But let me clear this before you draw any conclusions The students who progress further and quicker in the academy at the end are still h reserved seats Therefore, I can’t find it inthe students

You ht think my statee ordinary students have over the reserved quota student stays intact while they all are in the first year Your current acadee soon becoh the acadeh the first-year studentspoint, the amount of resources they can avail theress further makes the difference If the efforts put in by all of the students are on the same level that is

The first year sees the reserved seatless effort than their other peers And that difference in efforts becomes the force hich the ordinary students dominate the first year

But this do jealousy, dissatisfaction, rage, and a cocktail of similar emotions

The first-year ordinary students becoe they lacked at the start of the first year

When the field of effort becoins At that tie of resources plays an important role

It is what it is!

The reserved category students are mostly financially stable whereas those who had to enter the acadeory students would probably have higher-ranked entities as their guardians These guardians will guide the students in their ranking journey and other similar aspects

Whereas, ordinary students will have low ranked or even rankless guardians as their pillar of support This can become a handicap for students who allow it

Therefore, the first year becoround

Have a test of defeat, shaory Feel the exhilaration that co the class that has lorded over you if you are an ordinary student The acadeet those feelings that you are going to have in your first year They are the s one could experience in their life

Draer fros to advance further at all costs, at any cost The opposing forces will sharpen each other And that’s how the acadedom the experts that they need in all fields

I’ll be honest with you We will pit you against each other

Not just reserved seats vs the ordinary

It will be first years vs seniors

It will be you vs the ic beasts

And it will be you vs the instructors

In short, it will be you vs everyone

We will le with every resource that is available in the acadeanized by professors will have to be paid for with your hard work

Nothing worth your time ever comes free in this world You’ll have to earn the resources through everything you can draw from within you

Therefore, the reserved seat students should focus on putting in as much effort as the ordinary students if they want to stay on top from the first year itself And ordinary students should start putting in twice the effort as they are used to

Just reet left behind by your peers But also ensure that you don’t burn out yourself Otherwise, it’ll be even more detrimental for you

Now let me tell you hoas founded Most of you already know this, but we must revisit the roots we came from and remember the history that birthed us

The Lionheart Acadedoo Aldo and founder of the Edinburgh kingdoh von Renar had four loyal followers They had achieved tons of feats for King E hiiven absolute authority to these four retainers The kingdoranted these grand dukedodom to his loyal retainers with their titles

The berserker Ivar Ironside was given the title of Lionheart He was given the grand dukedoion

The assassin Yuffie Loxley was saluted with the title of Lufthansa He found his grand dukedodoiven to the exceptional archer of her tidoned as her turf

And finally, Lin Lehan was given the easterne

After the kingdo Emil ordered his retainers to establish institutes in their respective turfs to cultivate the upcodo love for this soil

This was how the top four academies were established!
