Chapter 161: Betting
After learning about the match, Ryan hurried to the venue
Under the tall statues of the founders, there were six floors for duels
First floor was usually used for Level 1-3 Awakeners
Second floor for Level 4
Third for Level 5
Sixth for Level 8
That is, even staff could challenge one another to a duel There was adequate seating on each floor for every ring
Ryan, tagged by his three Level 3 followers, was about to press second floor button on the elevator, but paused abruptly
He glanced around at the crowd on the ground floor and thought of soround floor was contracted to Trade Union, and it resehts Food Equipest business was, of course, betting
Cadets could bet with their ht
They could afford aura crystals, high-quality star treasures, potions, request one-on-one teaching froh awakeners, and even ask for protection while they venture into dangerous places
They could also train in advanced facilities like Aura Caves using ress extremely fast
More merit points meant more resources
This allowed a cadet to up his status froh vague, was extremely important
Usually, all cadets reached Level 5 in the sixth and final semester These were the ordinary cadets
Of course, the term 'ordinary' was relative
Anywhere across federation, a 21 year Level 5 was a veritable genius But in this academy, they were only ordinary and made up the majority
Geniuses reached Level 6 in the sixth seeniuses appeared in every batch
After assiduous training for a decade or more, these people went broke the infah Awakeners
Eventually, they grew to be the backbone of Human federation
Then there were eniuses were the ones that reached Level 6 in their fourth seh it was only a year's difference, one er it would take to advance even a sub-real from low level 6 to eniuses were hard to come by Even in Imperial Defense Academy which boasts the best talent of Earth, there were only a couple of theenius, one needed talent as well as resources
Charles Xander was a super genius He reached Level 6 in his fourth seenius Even more than Charles since she did so in third se a Dual Awakener meant her potential was liardless, every ordinary student yearned to be terenius
They believed they had the talent and only lacked resources After all, no one would willing ee
They'd rather believe things would turn great once they gain resources
Trade Union exploited this weakness and presented a 'quick way' to those resources
The stellar success of their betting business was a living testament to their success
Every day, hundreds of thousands of merit points flowed in and out
Merit points were a criterion to judge a cadet's perfor enlistment If a cadet's merit points crossed a certain threshold, they'd be enlisted into a higher rank with a shorter training
Since only cue a cadet, there was a strong incentive for every cadet to bet
Even if they lose, their cumulative points would remain the same
But if they won, they'd have et all the resources they want for training
Thankfully, such merit points weren't counted under 'performance'
All the merit points that were not awarded by the acade points'
On the other hand, the merit points awarded to a cadet due to their contribution were ter points were alluring for every ordinary cadet
The probleround points in hopes of gaining floating points
That ained fro, only a feould win
A survey concluded that if the cadets stopped betting altogether, they'd save up to 15 ground points every seht seem low, but upon deeper inspection, the cadets that save these 15 could actually afford er and thus, gain round points
