Rising Sage Academy


    Headmaster’s Office


    Inside her office, Florine can be seen. In front of her was a crystal ball that is showing the scene inside the only ssroom that is upied by the students in her Academy


    Since there are only 10 students in the Academy as of right now, all of them can be fit in a single ssroom


    Today was a special day for the students of the academy as this is the first time that the Academy distributed the spirit nts that the Headmaster and the Vice Headmaster received from Rezen yesterday


    One of the reasons why mages enter the Academy is the resources. They pay for the tuition fees and depending on the system of the academy, they would receive resources from time to time


    Most of the time, Academies have connections with various suppliers of these resources


    As such, the students would receive more resources than if they use their money to buy resources in the market


    In other words, the Academy is also like a wholesale store. The pills, spirit nts, and other resources were supplied to them in bulk for a low price


    The Academy then use these resources to nourish their students with little to no markup at all


    The Academies are also businesses as some organizations and families would make partnerships with them to have the chance to recruit the outstanding students they will nourish


    That is one way for the Academies to earn ie most of the time


    As of right now, the Rising Sage Academy is a new Academy and they stillck foundation


    But with the help of Rezen’s spirit nts, Florine’s academy would at least have one selling point


    Florine watched the reaction of the ten students. At first, they were in doubt as they are ordered to try the top-grade vismian grass


    Most spirit nts would weaken a mage’s foundation upon consumption but since they are only asked to consume one, the students reluctantly agreed


    However, their reluctance soon turned into surprise. The vismian grass has no side effects and is even more potent than mana pills!


    Some students used the mana that they gained to condense their mystic gem on the spot


    Since these students have higher talentpared to Rezen, at the very least, they have superior talent and not just normal superior talents


    Superior grade talent can absorb 40-59% of the effects of cultivation resources and these students are at least in the middle of their talent


    They can absorb at least 50% of the mana of the vismian grass!


    That is no doubt more than twenty times than Rezen’s pitiful talent can absorb!


    As such, even a single vismian grass already has some effects on them!


    When the students opened their eyes, they stared at the vismian grass with disbelief. They had never heard of such spirit nts before and they are very eager to continue consuming more des of grass but the teacher stops them


    This teacher along with the other four more teachers that Florine hired for the Academy is already aware of the peculiarity of the spirit nts


    The way the students reacted was as they expected


    “If all of you are finished trying the vismian grass, let’s move on. Consume the next spirit nt, the soul-tearing peas!” The teacher instructed and the students hesitated


    These peas are infamous for the pain they brought and also the fact that some people died after using them and they are unwilling to consume them


    Of these ten students, three of them are here through the Academy’s schrship


    This means that the Academy would train and provide resources for them for free. But of course, although Florine is kind and he hopes to nurture as many students as possible, the Academy is still a business


    Nourishing mages would depend on how profitable the Academy is. As such, after schr students graduated and they have enough qualifications, they would be hired as instructors in the Academy with a sry lower than the ones in the market for a few years to pay off the resources used by them


    After thepulsory service, they are free to decide whether they wanted to stay and continue teaching with an increased sry or they can go take another path


    These three schr students are from the poor family and despite the infamous reputation of the peas, they still consumed them


    That forces the other students that came from middle-ss mage families to do the same. They are the ones that cannot afford the tuition fee from Top Academies and also don’t have enough talent to receive schrships


    These middle-ss students would normally not use a spirit nt such as the soul-tearing pea but since they tried the vismian grass first, they have hopes for these peas


    “A-aaahhh!!!”


    Soon, the ssroom was filled with the sound of students moaning


    The peas still have pain as their side effect but not the pain that would make a person fearful or die


    It was a type of pain that they weirdly enjoyed and they even have a greater desire to eat more peas than the vismian grass


    Florine watched that scene, the side of her lips twitching. Those peas were really weird and for a moment, the atmosphere inside the ssroom has be ambiguous


    The students were embarrassed, especially the girls but since all of them are at least 18 years of age, they are not as innocent as amb anymore


    Some of the men stared at the women and the women stared at the men in a sticky way


    “E-ehem… ehem. Let’s move forward. This time, try the rainbow clementines” the teacher coughed before having the students try the next spirit nt


    The most basic cultivation resources were those that provided mana and refined the soul and the next on the list would be the ones that upgrade the elixir field


    As for the other type of resources, it’s good to have them but they are not at the bracket of bare minimum anymore


    “Good, good. These spirit nts don’t disappoint” Florine muttered as he watched the students try one spirit nt after another


    With the low cost that she bought them for, her Rising Sage Academy wouldn’t be like the other academies that gain little to no markup from the resources that they provided


    After she made sure that all the students are craving and staring at the spirit nts with bloodshot eyes, she was relieved


    The instructor continued to speak about the other agenda for today which was the ‘promo’


    If these students can convince their families or friends to join the Rising Sage Academy, they would be given more spirit nts


    They were even given some spirit nts to be used to convince other people that are not part of the resources that were given for their personal consumption


    Florine soon stopped spying as she called her sister that was also the Vice Headmaster of the Academy


    “Rain, please photocopy this and stick some on the walls of our Academy” Florine said as she handed a piece of paper to her sister


    Rain curiously looked at the paper and her eyes glowed


    “Special Variant Spirit nts test?” Rain muttered


    The paper contained information about the Academy in simpler terms having an open house


    They are inviting mages and their children to attend and they would be given a chance to try these so-called special spirit nts


    If they like the spirit nts and they want more, they have to enroll and be students in the Academy


    This is giving these people a taste of what benefits they could obtain if they or their children enrolled in the Academy


    “Sis, you are awesome! If I don’t know you, I would have thought that you are an advertisingpany employee!” Rain eximed in surprise, her admiration for her sister growing


    “This is for our Academy. And if you have time please inform Rezen that we would want to purchase more spirit nts from him. We would use it a lot in this open house. Andstly, Rezen’s friend, that Neil, I decided to give him a schrship to our Academy”


    “Leave it to me, sis! I will inform and receive the spirit nts from him personally! I will also talk to his friend!” Rain replied


    To show their sincerity, Rain decided to run these errands personally. After all, the prosperity and fame of their academy can be said to be directly tied to Rezen or more like the spirit nts that he would supply to them


    Even if Rezen can’t supply spirit nts to them forever, they must at least seize the chance that he would still be their supplier to elevate the standing of their Academy


    Once the Academy gained many students and they graduated with flying colors, it wouldn’t bete to start creating another selling point of their Academy that would lessen the impact if a time that Rezen stops the partnership with them arrives


    Contrary to what Rezen thinks, kind people are not always stupid and naive! This was the case for these pair of sisters


    They are just not the type of people that would force and threaten others or the ones that would always put themselves on the pedestal but it doesn’t mean that they are dumb
