15 My Potential? (2/2)

The teacher and young man began a conversation as Dean exited the building

”How long will you think he'll last?”

”The last one only lasted a week. Hmm, for him i'd say...5 days.”

”5? I bet less than a day”

”You think he might have sparring classes in his first day?”

”Nah, I bet his classmates will bully him since that happened quite a few times already”

...

The book in Dean's hand was more of a pamphlet. It contained a map and pointed out landmarks the school felt represented them the best.

An example of that would be a statue of the first principal in all of his glory.

Dean felt disgusted at something similar to a Publicity Stunt. This was suppose to manipulate the student's mind into feeling this school was the greatest.

Something to make a student reminisce or feel indebted to this school. 'Loyalty' was just an idea used to exploit young teenagers.

Most teenagers would be quite ignorant to this while those similar to Dean would do the same as what he is doing.

Keep quiet.

If they were kind then they would tell it to everyone. They would eventually get framed by the school for causing trouble and would have to face the student's glare.

You would just act like a madman.

Even if you keep silent at the very least you'll be the one who is aware of the scheming school.

Entering the district for the male dormitories Dean found his room.

Opening the door, the room was small but had a cozy aura around it.

It was not over the top with decorations and it wasn't in shambles as it presented itself in a clean state.

There was just a single bed and space for any of the student's needs.

Although most would believe the school was being nice however Dean thought otherwise.

If you were a person cultivating or maybe an alchemy apprentice you would probably practice in this room.

But unforeseen accidents could happen.

You're on the brink of breaking through and increasing your strength but there is a loud bang in the room next to you.

You're meridians crack and instead of becoming stronger you become weaker with all you hard earned Qi disappearing.

Maybe you have reached a new milestone in creating an amazing pill.

You've spent so much time and effort. The money spent on buying so many batches of herbs only to rely on this batch to succeed.

You've just about created the pill. A fortune maker that could instantly make you rich but suddenly someone knocks on the door.

Sighing at your loss who can you blame?

The school?

The school will instead blame you for your foolishness. How dare you risk studying in a place that could harm your well-being.

To solve the problem the school 'magnanimously' created separate faculties to help your extracurricular needs.

Dean can even imagine the price.

If you are too into your focus of study then you may go overtime to whatever that particular skill is.

Because you didn't stay true to your designated time the school will make sure you aren't interrupted.

Kind, right?

Wrong.

Instead you have to rely on yourself to keep track of time otherwise you need to pay a penalty.

This penalty will make you pay a little bit extra then usual but Redwood Academy could make excuses.

You are preventing your peers an opportunity to further their studies. Let this be a warning for this time.

Because there needs to be a currency to allow students to use items or go to places, this introduces contribution points.

According to the guide you may receive contribution from teachers after doing a task, missions or trading.

”How's Christian doing? Has he been sucked dry by this system?”

”Heh, watch out for your money, life, wife and reputation because i'm coming.”

An eerie chuckle echoed from the room
