Coleman Academy, the powerhouse of the academy world, boasts luxurious teaching resources. Coleman City, as the external dependency of the Elf Forest, is absolutely neutral. The teaching environment is free from the influence of war, and bolstered by its illustrious reputation, the academy’s faculty and educational resources have never been a cause for concern.
Typically, an academy of this caliber would be a definite no for someone with Dillin’s talents. Yet, due to the particularity of his soul, he was extraordinarily admitted—whether that’s fortune or misfortune, remains uncertain.
The academy is meticulous in every aspect: from its institutional policies and campus environment to daily teaching and training, as well as leisure and relaxation during students’ free time. Every detail is covered to offer a comprehensive and high-quality teaching environment.
Naturally, this meticulousness extends to the students’ meals. The term “cafeteria” in Coleman Academy doesn’t conjure up images of the unsavory, mass-produced meals and crowded, noisy dining environments from his past life. In this top-tier institution, the cafeteria matches the level of attention given to the teaching areas.
The grand structure with its towering domes and stately pillars resembles a palace. Once inside, even the loudest chatterers instinctively quiet down. In the cafeteria, the only sounds are the gentle clinking of utensils and the soft shuffle of footsteps. It’s just like entering a library where people naturally lower their voices, speaking as little as possible. The atmosphere in Coleman Academy’s cafeteria makes people feel awkward about making noise, as doing so would draw attention from everyone present.
In line with this serene environment, the ‘food’ served here is certainly worthy of high standards.
The academy has taken every aspect into consideration, including the differing tastes of various races.
There are multiple halls divided into different dietary sections: human, elf, dwarf, demi-human, and others…
Prices vary from affordable to extravagantly expensive, catering to the needs of all levels of students.
Typically, students of a particular race go to their respective dining areas. However, there are always exceptions who don’t mind exploring other culinary adventures.
As for Dillin, his dining choice falls entirely outside these categories. At breakfast, he didn’t go to the human, dwarf, or demi-human dining areas.
Skipping all these, he ended up at a small shop by the cafeteria’s back door, where he casually picked up two slices of dry bread and left. And that was his breakfast.
No questions, it’s free. It saves him money.
His situation isn’t unique in the academy. Since the awakening of Divine Children is random, some are born into noble families with golden spoons, others come from average families, and still others are orphans with no fixed abode.
Coleman Academy solely values talent, but tuition doesn’t fall from the sky. Before they rise to prominence, less fortunate Divine Children must work part-time jobs, saving money where they can on daily expenses.
The early part of the academy education isn’t particularly burdensome; the lessons are simple and understandable.
In fact, Dillin didn’t really have to focus too much on classes. With his talent, attending them wouldn’t be of much help. If he can’t even properly use Divine Analysis Technique, it’s somewhat ambitious to expect proficiency in other things.
His current dormitory is only temporary; theoretically, they are not yet official students of Coleman Academy but rather nominal ones. Whether they’re officially enrolled will be determined in a month’s time during the Newcomer Crown Cup.
Coleman Academy’s policy is to allocate more resources to the outstanding students. Those who perform excellently are grouped together in classes with better teaching resources. The average performers form the majority and are grouped accordingly, while the so-called “underperformers” receive relatively less resources, though still more than adequate compared to other academies. The academy also provides opportunities for these underperformers, allowing them to transfer to advanced classes if they can prove their worth in subsequent evaluations.
As for the official dormitory assignments, they will also be done in a month’s time, and will be based on team allocations.
This is why many people were anxious when they saw Aistride join Dillin’s team.
The dormitory allocation does not consider gender. One big house, with one room per person. Living under the same roof as someone of the opposite s*x who has saved your life might lead to unforeseen developments in the future.
Seated comfortably in his warm classroom, Dillin listened attentively with his arms crossed.
Apart from the specialized courses related to Divine Children’s professions, unless there are field training activities planned, other classes mainly focus on common knowledge about the world, such as history, culture, and customs.
Dillin found these kinds of knowledge interesting, so he paid close attention.
As for evening dismissal, the timing is similar to his old school from his previous life.
However, this evening, Dillin couldn’t go straight to the cafeteria for a quick meal and then sleep.
Yesterday, while Tillysha was handling the team entry procedures and school enrollment, she made an appointment with Miss Blyth. At 6 p.m. tonight, Tillysha will participate in the Goddesses’ Entrance Test.
A Goddess in her pre-awakened state, before divine authority has awakened, is known as an Unawakened Goddess. During this phase, Goddesses lack divine authority but possess a basic Divine Realm. Testing them at this stage doesn’t yield objective data, because Goddesses cannot be fully measured by cold, unchanging data. These numbers are at best just recorded in their records. The true brilliance of a Goddess is reflected in their battle achievements, which are akin to medals on their records, providing the most objective assessment of a Goddess.
For an Unawakened Goddess, the academy tests the type of Divine Realm they possess. Based on the type of Divine Realm, the Goddess’s future role and the concrete manifestation of their divine authority can be predicted.
Dillin is also quite curious about what kind of Goddess Tillysha is and where she would rank compared to the top-tier Goddesses from Coleman Academy.
