Chapter 118 – Tour of the Academy
The book ‘Guidelines for New Students of Noble Academy’ was one of the items given to all students who entered Noble Academy.
This book was literally created to help freshmen adapt to the Noble Academy.
When a person encounters an unfamiliar environment, it is natural to spend a lot of time and money to adapt to the environment.
Of course, making and distributing books was time consuming and costly.
However, the amount of time and cost required to become accustomed to something unfamiliar varied greatly from person to person.
Compared to other people, some people had a relatively short time to adapt to the unfamiliar environment, while others could not adapt to the unfamiliar environment even after a year.
As a result, these differences had a significant impact on academic achievement.
Those who adapt well to the unfamiliar environment get good grades, and those who do not adapt well get bad grades.
If Noble Academy had been an academy that pursued survival of the fittest, it would have moved in the direction of leaving those who did not adapt.
However, Noble Academy was helping new students adapt to academy life through guidelines.
“Page 3 of the guide covers the most basic content. That’s the table of contents. This table of contents makes it easy to find where in the guide you need what you need.”
At Jason’s words, all the students in the classroom checked page 3 of the manual.
“This guide contains all the information you need for your academy life. It also contains information about various facilities where you can get help if you find yourself in a difficult situation.”
Jason reminded the students gathered in the classroom about the contents of the manual.
“For example, if you have any questions about the training ground rules, you can check page 83. There are detailed instructions on how to use the training halls within the academy.”
Jason also told the students various information that was not in the instruction manual.
“Oh, and since today is the first day, there are no other classes besides this one. The rest of the time is free to wander around the academy and see for yourself what facilities are available at the school.”
Finally, he ended the class by telling the students what to do for the day.
As Jason left the classroom, Adalbert took the instruction book and stood up.
As he said at the end, it was because he needed to walk through Noble Academy on his own two feet and check which facilities were where.
‘My professor’s office is room 402 on the 4th floor of the main building.’
In particular, we had to find the main building where the professor’s office where Nina works is located.
There were four main buildings in Noble Academy.
Lecture building where professors teach students and classes are held.
The main building that handles all the administrative work of the laboratory and Noble Academy given to professors.
A comprehensive hall with various facilities for practice.
Lastly, it was a dormitory where Noble Academy students and professors could stay.
Adalbert opened his handbook and looked at the buildings around him.
Now, behind him was the lecture hall where he had just taken a class, and in front of him was a large building.
At the back of the large building was the dormitory, and to the left of the large building was the entrance to the Noble Academy.
Looking at the map, the main building was in the center, the lecture building was in the west, and the general building was in the east.
Lastly, the building to the north was the dormitory.
In other words, the building in the direction Adalbert was looking at was the general building where Nina’s laboratory was located.
The distance between each building written on the map on page 5 of the instruction manual was about 300 meters.
A distance of 300 meters would take a long time for an ordinary person to run at full power, but for Adalbert, it was a short distance that could be reached in seconds.
Adalbert confirmed the location of the main building and then moved toward the general building.
Right now, it was enough to know where the building where Nina’s lab was located and how far it was.
More important than that was to find out what kind of facilities are in the general hall building where practical classes, not theoretical classes, are held.
Why is Adalbert interested in Noble Academy’s facilities when he can no longer become strong through training in ordinary facilities?
There were many reasons for that, but the most important thing was that I was curious about how Noble Academy beat Royal Academy consecutively in the ‘Friendly Match’.
Unlike the Royal Academy, what kind of facilities does the Noble Academy help students improve?
What is the difference between the two academies’ teaching methods, so that the Royal Academy is defeated every time in a friendly match?
Adalbert was curious about the secret.
I wasn’t thinking about what to do with finding out about it, but I was genuinely curious about the secret.
Adalbert’s unstoppable steps toward the general hall were exhilarating.
–
As usual, Enrique, the leading manager of Bless, visited the general hall to train his body.
There was a physical training center in the basement of the General Building, and the facilities there were the best for training the body.
Enrique, the son of a decent family, had a family training center.
Before entering Noble Academy, he worked out and trained his body there.
‘A healthy mind resides in a healthy body, and a strong body creates strong mental power.’
Enrique, who trained his body according to the teachings of his family, is it because of the genes he inherited from his parents?
Enrique was able to have a muscular body like that of an ancient warrior, with his height two heads taller than the average person.
The sense of intimidation emanating from his tall height and well-trained body made him able to occupy a sufficiently advantageous position in conversation with the other party, and such Enrique could be said to have sufficient qualities as a leader who must correct the poor appearance of students.
Maybe that’s why Enrique was invited to become a member of Bless as soon as he entered school, and while he was in his first year, he worked as a member of the leading team.
And he found a freshman at the training ground who impressed him immensely.
‘Was it Adalbert Rainmed?’
An impressive man with well-groomed long white hair.
I thought he would be a bit picky because he was an old freshman, but he remembered that he was a person I liked, such as being able to communicate well with him and treating him like a senior.
Obviously, as he remembered, today was the first day the freshmen took classes at the academy.
And the first day was a rough introduction to school life, and after that it was free time.
There, most of the students were going to go play, but Adalbert stopped by the training ground.
‘Today is the first day, and you stopped by the general training center from this time? Does it mean that I will try hard not to fall behind as I get older?’
There was a reason why Adalbert stopped by the training ground, but Enrique, who did not know the reason, thought that Adalbert stopped by the training ground for self-training.
‘Wonderful, very good. There are no bad people who do not neglect self-discipline.’
Enrique misunderstood that Adalbert had come to train him from the first day.
If Enrique knew the truth, he would have been disappointed, but since he started exercising as he did every day, he stopped paying attention to Adalbert and started focusing on exercise.
–
To be honest, he was quite surprised when he saw the leader of the lead team at the training ground.
‘The facilities are quite well equipped. Does that mean that the quality of the facility is good enough for a person called the lead manager to come and exercise?’
From my point of view, a person named Enrique seems to be from a fairly well-to-do family, but such a person uses the academy’s common training facilities without saying anything?
If you didn’t have to use this place separately, it would have meant that exercising using the various equipment provided at this training center would be better than using a personal training center.
Well, now I have reached the point where I have to sharpen my fighting sense through actual combat rather than training my body, so the intense exercise that others train my body is only at the level of warming up before going into battle.
Someone will think you’re bragging when you hear it, but what do you do when it’s true?
To make the body stronger means that the intensity of physical training must be increased inevitably.
Even at the level of an Auror Expert, physical training is meaningful. Since you reached the level of a master, there was no burden on your body with tolerable exercises.
Unless you use Aura Blade continuously.
Of course, taking out an aura blade to exercise is crazy.
Sword auras can be hidden, but aura blades are revealed the moment they are used.
It’s okay to sneakily use a sword aura during a battle.
Anyway, there are still many places to visit.
