Chapter 82 The Academy's Campus
The form didn't ask for any complicated information. It asked simple things like address, age and gender, so it didn't take long for Zick to fill the whole form.
Finishing filling the form, Zick swiftly went through the rules and regulation, not being interested. If he had sum up all the things that this two pages say then
'The rules state that all students have to treat each other equally, and the authority and status one had outside was meaningless in the academy.....Bullshit' Thinking this, Zick walked towards the receptionist.
There was a major flaw in this rule. It only mentioned that authority could not be used within the academy, not out of it. Which means a student with enough authority could threaten another by just holding their family hostages or many other ways like this. There wasn't even a need for it, if the student had enough strength he could just beat up the other student. The academy won't stop them until it goes too far.
The academy doesn't plan on changing the rules either.
There were other things in the paper too, but Zick deemed them as useless information.
Arriving in front of the reception, Zick passed on the papers back to the receptionist.
"Ohh you can keep the paper stating rules with you sir." The receptionist tried giving back the papers to him but.
"Don't need it." Zick spoke firmly as he looked at the receptionist.
"A-alright"
He took the form and a thin square steel plate of around 10 centimetre from the space ring, then placed the crystal ball in front of Zick.
"Please put your hand above the crystal sir." placing his hand above the crystal along the form and steel plate, The receptionist said this.
Zick put his hand above the crystal feeling no danger from it.
The crystal ball started shining dimly as the receptionist sent his mana into it. The form slowly turned into mana particles and entered the crystal. The square plate started shining along with it.
At the same time, Zick felt some mana trying to enter his body through the crystal. He let it flow into his body not resisting it using aura as he felt that the mana was just too weak to harm him.
Zick figure got covered in transparent blue glow along with the crystal. The crystal stopped shining slowly, it hadn't even taken five seconds for all this to happen.
Taking a look at the square steel plate which had turned black, the receptionist nodded his head, finding nothing wrong in it, and passed it onto Zick. "This is your student identification card, it can tell the academy your location, it is strictly only for your own safety sir. This can be used to access all the public areas in the academy too. If you ever lose it, please inform the academy by contacting one of the professors."
Zick looked at the black card closely. There was a photo of himself in it and other general information about him. His photo was made using one of the abilities of the crystal ball in front of him. He could also feel the magic imbued in it to track the cards location.
Zick didn't plan on removing it, there wasn't much danger in keeping it like that. If he wanted to hide his whereabouts, he could just leave the black card behind.
The receptionist took out an invitation letter and a badge which was similar to the one worn by Aeiron and gave it to Zick. The badge was in a triangle shape with a moon diagonally in it.
"This badge can be used to access the train and also the class you will be attending will be announced at the new year ceremony. It's possible to enter the academy's campus now that you have been registered."
Receptionist had started treating Zick more respectfully as he had read his name in the form, getting to know that he was a duke's son and as well as the most talented person in this year.
Taking the letter and badge, Zick placed the letter within his space ring and the badge in one of his pockets in the jacket. He started heading towards the mana train station immediately. He wasn't interested in roaming around the academy. He could just look around once he started attending the classes.
Zick knew the general outline of how the central district was through the novel.
While walking towards the mana train station, Zick lifted his head up and looked at the grand palace in the distance above the administrative centre. That was actually the academy.
Zick couldn't help but marvel at the huge palace-like building. It was his first time seeing such a large palace since he came to this world. But still his expression didn't change even while he admired the academy
'I will create a palace like that in the future too.' Zick felt that this thought was absurd, but at the same time he felt that if he put his mind into it, he could do it. He continued walking after staring at the academy for a few seconds.
There were numerous subsidiary facilities and special purpose halls scattered here and there in the central district. There were stadiums and other special facilities, including concert halls.
As the campus was just too large to traverse by foot, the academy had a separate tram line that only operated inside of it. Of course, it was free using the student ID.
There were also many prohibited areas, the only way to enter these places was by getting higher grades in tests. The academy had created this to encourage other students to work hard.
There was only one place that interested Zick among all the prohibited areas, The great library. He only wanted the knowledge stored within the books there.
Zick wasn't worried about getting a good grade at all. He remembered most of the practical tests given by the academy, they were very easy in his view. Even theory tests could be easily handled using [Animosity eyes]. He didn't feel any shame in doing this.
Zick was extremely rational when it came to things which could increase strength. Emotions didn't matter when it came to things which affected his survival.
And he was also shameless enough to not care if someone found out he was cheating. He had zero guilt in impersonating and taking this glory for himself.
Arriving at the mana train station, Zick directly rode one of the trains using his new academy badge. But now he had to keep a watch as to when his station arrived.
It didn't take long for the train to reach the Desterk district. Getting off the mana train, Zick headed back to his mansion.
'Now there isn't anything for me to do until the new year ceremony starts in the academy. I should just train and enjoy the festival in this free time.' When Zick thought of this he couldn't help but feel bored again. He could only wait till the new year ceremony and then contact the Academic city's underworld leader. Only after that could he start experimenting.
Zick already knew about what he wanted to experiment about.
'Is it possible to use enchantment and raise my body's strength?' Till now no one could, so it could be said as something impossible normally.
But Just because others couldn't do it till now, Zick didn't think that he couldn't too. He also wanted to see if he could manipulate other people's memories using magic.
Both of these could give him immense help. That is the reason he was looking to buy slaves and monster from the underworld. There was also the fourth harem member of Aeiron, who Zick wanted to turn into a subordinate. She was actually a kid of 12 years old right now. He was surprised when she got into a romantic relationship with Aeiron eight year later in the novel.
Zick walked towards the mention through the street while contemplating about his future actions.
Zick had already read the invitation letter he got on the train, so he knew about the date of the ceremony. It was two weeks from now, at the end of the festival.
