BXBX NOVEL Chapter 174 Arcadia Academy
Out of 57, only 14 survived till the Third Cataclysm and after the Third there were only 7 people who survived.
Lucas Laurentz, the strongest backer of humanity or perhaps the strongest of the entire Planet Vermillion. He was sharp, cunning, dangerous, sister-con, someone who would even fight against the King of the Entire Intergalactic Alliance, just to show them who they would be messing with if they even looked at their sister.
Elizabeth, or more accurately, Annabeth Rose, the Lady of the Blue Moon. She was one of the strongest 12 in the end. Though killed by the Parasites, she still was feared even after death due to the nature of her magic. She had the ability to manipulate the very night itself to her advantage.
Lilith Berg, the succubus in human form, the beast of Arcadia. She is a myth and legend within the Arcadia Academy, who later on will be the myth of the entire Planet Vermillion. Someone who excelled in illusion magic, and one of my mentors that helped me perfect my illusion magic. She wasn\'t really a succubus… but a half succubus whose succubus genes were removed, making her a half human that fed on the emotions of other beings.
Hera Beckameth, the vice president of the student council. I haven\'t met her, but from what I have known, anyone who has met her except the strongest, doesn\'t get to see the next day. She was someone who existed only in the files, and nobody knew about her real identity. Even now, nobody knows whether she exists or not. Adara, the president of the student council, is the sole person in this academy who knows about her.
Armis Trevis, the Luna Royal, who mixed in among humans to collect information about them and learn their customs and how they cohabitate with each other. He was among the 5 Lunas that barely survived the attacks of those bastards. Excelled in almost everything, he was a force to be reckoned with. Even now, from what I have heard, he is as strong as they come.
Adam Blake, the ruler of one of the groups of the Arcadia Academy, was the only one among the whole group who managed to reach the top only to be killed in a fight against the Royal Parasite. He was a neutral guy, who didn\'t go along with both right and wrong and did what he thought was best for him. His special trait was his lightning magic, which he evolved to the point where he could do almost anything he wanted according to his will.
Christian Alan, finally, the only teacher of the Arcadia Academy, that managed to survive to the very end. He did die within the first few years after the Third Cataclysm, but still his mana manipulation was something that even the best ones had failed to achieve. One of the few that humanity actually felt bad about losing.
These 7 were the ones I have on my list for now before I add another few. Though the others need to be assessed deeply even before they can be on the list. Except Elizabeth and Adara, of course. And also those two… I need to make sure they both survive as well.
About the Academy,
As I have already said, there are 3 groups that rule the entire Academy. They not only make sure to keep the Academy running, not including the teachers, these are the ones that also teach the youngsters on how to actually survive in the world.
Surely there is bullying, but even the worst bullies make sure to pass on some teaching to the fledglings so that they can be stronger than before. Different people have different views about them, and the whole reason people are actually not against the bullying is that what those bullies teach is many times better than what a normal person teaches in normal ways.
Perhaps fear has its ways of unlocking the potential of humans, that they learn things in times of fear that they can\'t in normal circumstances. How… well it would be better to show you when I enter the Academy, cause this is more common than you\'d expect.
While these are all true, there are also the departments, events, functions,etc. Those are present in this Academy, helping the Academy run throughout, since its years of foundation.
Structure wise,
The Academy was vast and magnificent. In order to accommodate about 500 students and more than 1000 teachers, along with even more staff, the Academy has never been lacking in providing anything that its people need. More like it has always overdone in providing what they want. Which is one of the few things that I like about the Academy.
The other best thing about this Academy is the undiscovered dungeon which will unlock after the first Cataclysm. Though I am going to break its barrier a bit earlier this time to use its full potential in ways that humanity can\'t even imagine, I suppose.
Well, there are a lot more things… but let\'s deal with that one at a time.
…
I reach at a distance away from the Academy. There were a few people who were ogling the two beauties who were standing near the park waiting for me. Ignoring those ogling men, I moved towards the beauties and spoke,
"Hey! Did you follow through with everything?"
"Zero!!" Clair spoke with a really happy expression, and I smiled back at her before looking at the other girl beside her.
"You must be Emma, right?" I spoke in a formal tone, and she nodded before analysing me thoroughly. My eyes analysed her back, and she took a few steps back and I stopped analysing her.
"You can ask directly, you know?" I spoke to Emma, and she narrowed her eyes and asked me back,"can I?"
I nodded at her and then turned at Clair as I asked,"Nice to see you too, Clair. So, have you done what I had asked you to do?" and she nodded at me.
"It is just a few steps away from here," she spoke before pointing in a direction at a distance. My eyes observed that place and nodded before beginning to move towards it. Emma and Clair too followed behind me as she began explaining about that place, and not long before, I reached that place.
It was honestly lavish and beautiful. Looks like she hasn\'t held back in buying the best one out here, which I really appreciated. Thinking that, I added a few more millions in her account and turned towards her, while she looked at the message dumbfoundedly.
"Take care of things around here. Have fun. This will be my rest house and I will be visiting here every once in a while. Emma, I have a job for you, if you don\'t mind. Clair you as well," I spoke as I looked at them and they turned their attention to me with a curious look.
"Emma, you are a nurse, aren\'t you? Can you get into the Academy and join their paramedic staff as a nurse? Also Clair, you join as a librarian in the Academy. I will provide the other instructions later."
"Why did you just command me to do it while you asked Emma whether she could or cannot?" Clair was being a bit salty, but looking at her carefully, she was just teasing me a little. I smiled at her before speaking.
"Just cause you are special."
Hearing my words, she blushed a little and sheepishly moved behind Emma, who just shook her head and spoke,"okay, I don\'t mind doing that. In fact, I wanted to do that before you even asked me, just that I wasn\'t thinking of working inside the Academy but outside of it."
I nodded at her as I knew it would be difficult to get a job inside the Academy, but I guess I can pull some strings from the inside to help her gain the job there. Same applies to Clair as well.
I then explained a few basic rules of nursing and librarian to them, which I learnt from the internet. It wasn\'t that hard, so they took all the information within a few minutes.
I asked them to join their respective positions by tomorrow and also try to gain more information on their own on anything that they don\'t understand at which they nodded.
"Hey, can I ask a question?" Emma suddenly asked me out of nowhere, and I nodded at her to proceed.
"Why are you helping us… or perhaps Clair? Do you like her or something?" She asked, and I smiled before answering,"she was the one who saved my life back at that place when I was at my weakest (at the cost of her own life in the previous timeline). Of course I am going to help her out. As for like… I haven\'t really thought about it."
"Well… she has fallen in love with you. What are you gonna do about that?" She dropped a bomb at me out of nowhere.
