The wrong person on the ground, the opening sword soul template

Chapter 256 The End of the World Will Eventually Arrive
Nina held a glass of chilled cream in her hand, along with some fried potato balls in the pile of shaved ice.

Just looking at it is enough to make your teeth ache from sweetness.

Liang Yue didn't comment much on Nina's dietary preferences; it's her business what she likes to eat, as long as she wasn't forced to eat those things.

After that, Liang Yue's own fried potato balls arrived. His fried potato balls were just ordinary salty and spicy fried potato balls.

Nina glanced at Liang Yue and then suddenly realized, "Oh right, it's almost lunchtime now, so I can't eat too much."

So I won't eat anything else until I finish this batch of fries.

What does it mean?
Liang Yue glanced at Nina's stomach subconsciously; the other woman's figure was clearly the very slim type.

They are either the type with a high metabolism who can't gain weight, or they are still young and haven't reached the age where they are prone to weight gain.

Nina took two bills out of her wallet and handed them to the other person. "This is 190 laguna. Remember to give me change."

Seeing that the money Nina took out was completely different from that of Farley, Liang Yue guessed that it was a currency unique to the school district.

"What unit is Laguna? I'll treat you to a meal later."

"Laguna is the school district's unique currency, so don't rush into treating us. The restaurants here, which are usually run by teachers or deities, generally provide free meals."

However, these are all limited quantities. If you can't wait, you can use your money to exchange for Laguna at the student bank.

Liang Yue nodded slightly, and then followed Nina to continue strolling around.

Nina patiently led Liang Yue on a walk throughout the entire school district; just browsing through this vast school complex would take quite a bit of time.

As time passed, the two arrived at the dining area recommended by Nina.

Aozora Cafeteria.

This is the dining area inside the temple tower. In addition to the upper floors where the gods reside, the massive temple tower also has dining areas or other functional areas on the ground floor.

I must say, the food here is really delicious.

In terms of pure deliciousness, it can be said to be on par with the Abundant Hostess Restaurant.

Liang Yue finished his food and was about to get up and leave when Nina stopped him.

"Gig, have you completed your elective registration? Elective registration refers to the courses you want to take within the school district."

So Liang Yue opened his backpack. He remembered that Teacher Leon had talked to him about this before.

It's not too late to see now. Following Nina's advice, Liang Yue found a scroll with a school district pattern printed on it in her schoolbag.

Liang Yue saw a large number of subjects on the scroll, some of which, according to Nina, were not available for first-year students.

For example, the compulsory courses in the combat technology department include: martial arts, field investigation, and combat missions.

When Nina noticed Liang Yue intently examining the scroll, she offered some additional information:

"Now, the compulsory fieldwork courses, such as field surveys, have been replaced by dungeon crawling courses."

Therefore, the main consideration is elective courses. You need at least six elective courses to meet the minimum credit requirement. So, my personal suggestion is that you choose courses that interest you.

From Nina, Liang Yue understood that if she didn't have enough credits, she wouldn't be able to graduate and might even be expelled.

However, these are not things that Liang Yue needs to consider.

His goal was very clear from the beginning: the first thing he wanted to do was to awaken the power of the spirits within him.

The second thing is to learn more in the school district and make my life more fulfilling.

It would be even better if I could obtain a magic similar to Lefia's or Ryu's through this.

Ruri's Star Memories allow her to master all the magic of her deceased companions.

Lefia's Elf Ring allows her to master all the magic learned by the elves.

So the third goal is this: if possible, try to master a universal magic spell.

Of course, the third goal is just an option, and he won't force it if it's not achievable.

Liang Yue patiently looked at the contents of the parchment scroll, and was then astonished by the numerous subjects listed below:
Magic, chanting, magical development, celestial science, alchemy, synthesis, occult medicine, blacksmithing, comprehensive theology...

This parchment scroll contains far too many subjects, if each one had a teacher.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that school districts are revered as the treasure trove of knowledge for an entire era and the supreme sanctuary where all the world's knowledge is gathered.

It seems that only a nation-state, an academic sanctuary built by a coalition of knowledge-based deities, could gather such a wealth of knowledge.

Take Orario as an example. An ordinary town worker here can earn about 1,000 falies after a hard day's work, such as mining or unloading cargo at the dock.

To obtain a parchment book on how to smelt steel and forge weapons, one would need at least 1,825,000 falies.

That means not eating or drinking for about five years.

Of course, the specific price of a book will vary depending on the author's fame, the condition of the book, and the value of the knowledge contained within.

This is just the most basic knowledge.

Acquiring knowledge is the first step in changing one's own destiny.

Once you master the knowledge of blacksmithing, you have the possibility of transforming from a laborer into a skilled craftsman.

Knowledge is extremely valuable in this era, not only because it is difficult to store, but also because the efficiency of teaching and dissemination is low.

There are also a series of other reasons, such as being harassed by monsters and obstruction from nobles and other powerful figures.

The fact that the school district can still gather so much knowledge under such circumstances is enough to prove its academic standing.

Liang Yue was immediately drawn to the elective course, Integrated Theology. "Nina, what is this?"

"Comprehensive theology teaches the reading and meaning of sacred texts, but the main problem is that the pass rate for this subject is less than 10%..."

This passing rate left Liang Yue somewhat disappointed. Although he wanted to learn more, he wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for himself.

Although he didn't know how long he could stay in the school district, his time was still precious.

Therefore, you should spend your time on subjects with higher returns.

Liang Yue believes that her swordsmanship still needs further improvement. If she becomes complacent because her swordsmanship is already high enough, she will block her own path to further progress.

So Liang Yue had a few elective courses in mind.

For example, swordsmanship, chanting, modern history, ancient history, Elvish, and magic.

As for synthetic theology, Liang Yue plans to study it on her own.

The school district does not prohibit students from self-studying, so even if they have not applied for a particular subject, they can still attend classes in designated classrooms.

Of course, this is on the premise that it will not cause any inconvenience to the teachers and students in that classroom.

"Gig, why don't you go to the classroom this morning and wait for me? I'll go to the library first to prepare some books for you to study."

You can rest assured that I'll handle this."

Liang Yue paused for a moment, then nodded.

Watching Nina rush out, Liang Yue had no idea what to say.

Despite their brief time together, Nina was incredibly kind to him.

This was truly a great honor for Liang Yue.

Liang Yue returned to the classroom she had been in before, and then saw Nina pushing a large trolley in.

There were several real stacks of books, which she then placed on a trolley and pushed into the classroom.

He actually pushed a cart full of books into the classroom! What kind of studious person is this!

"If it's just to prepare for tomorrow's classes, reading all these books now should be enough."

Five hours of preparation should be enough, right?

Even though Liang Yue's strength had reached Lv6, it would still take a considerable amount of effort to finish reading these books.

For the average person reading serious books, such as physical copies of the Twenty-Four Histories, it's normal to be able to read 200,000 words in eight hours.

Two hundred thousand words is only the thickness of a regular book.

These stacks of books, at a cursory glance, contain at least several dozen volumes.

"You watched it all?"

"Of course I'll read everything. Not only that, I'll also do a surprise inspection for you."

Giger, you can't possibly not be able to do it, can you?

Those who are able to attend school in the district are those who have passed the test of the gods and possess the will to learn.

Therefore, you at least have a passionate attitude towards learning! That's absolutely true!

If he is only at Lv1 now, then he absolutely cannot do it.

But now, that's hard to say.

So Liang Yue began reading efficiently, and relying on her brainpower enhanced by the Sword Soul Template and Adventurer Level, she quickly memorized and understood the knowledge.

Liang Yue persisted with this highly efficient learning for a full five hours.

The painful yet joyful learning experience filled Liang Yue with a sense of accomplishment.

As Liang Yue rubbed her temples to rest briefly, Nina stared at her in shock.

"Gig, have you really never studied this material before?"

"Of course not, I only recently came to the school district."

Nina's mouth gaped open instinctively, then she seemed to just realize what was happening. She then stared at Liang Yue as if she were looking at a monster.

"Gig, how did you do that? This is your first time learning this stuff, so how did you manage to master it all so efficiently?"

Because his brainpower has been enhanced, which is also related to his willingness to learn this knowledge.

The brain, enhanced by divine grace and the sword soul template, possesses performance far exceeding that of ordinary people in areas such as memory and calculation.

To judge a person's mental capacity, aside from deceptive tricks like quantum speed reading...

You can test your ability to memorize a large number of words in a short period of time.

Generally speaking, the faster one reads and the more textual and visual information one can memorize, the better one's mental abilities are.

Of course, short-term calculation ability can also test brainpower.

"Great, Giger. This way you can catch up with the lessons very quickly."

"Wait a moment, I need to return the book."

After Nina took all the books and put them in the cart and left, Mr. Leon came in.

Liang Yue sized up Teacher Leon, who was a Level 7 in the school district. Since they had never fought before, he didn't know the extent of Leon's strength.

However, he is definitely not a weakling.

With such a strong teacher, Liang Yue was really looking forward to the upcoming lessons.

"What are your thoughts after experiencing a day of school district life?"

Liang Yue recalled her experience that day, saying, "The students here are all extraordinary and can be described as having unlimited potential."

But for me, I'd rather acquire more knowledge, especially knowledge that will make me stronger.

“I can sense the power within you; it’s very strong and dangerous. Perhaps once you’re ready, we teachers can work together to help you guide this power.”

Leon glanced at Liang Yue's left arm.

Did the other person also notice the difference in his left arm?

"Liang Yue, if one day you have to take a risk, or even face death in the end, what will you do?"

Liang Yue clenched her left hand. "I'm the type who gets more excited when facing danger."

Therefore, I will prepare as early as possible and continuously improve my strength. That way, even if I really have to take a risk, I will not back down.

If I die because of this, then it means that I am nothing more than this.

Of course, even if death is inevitable, I will launch a final counterattack before I die.

Leon was silent for more than ten seconds. "You are indeed completely different from the students here. You have already developed the heart of a true warrior."

Is this what you gained through trials of blood and fire?

Liang Yue shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe they were born with it and then woke up during a death battle."

Perhaps it grew from nothing little by little in the course of battle.

"What elective courses are you taking? Let me see."

Looking at the elective courses Liang Yue handed him, Leon suggested, "I recommend you take End-of-Life Theory. Let's prepare well together so we can face the inevitable apocalypse someday."

Humanity will eventually face its inevitable doomsday.

Even if the timing of this doomsday is uncertain.

Liang Yue nodded, and then filled in "Final Response Theory" again on the elective course application form.

Leon sized up Liang Yue. "I told the principal something: I'll see what kind of person you are today."

While not entirely objective, I now have a general understanding of you.

"That's it."

To Liang Yue's surprise, even though the two were only one level apart, he didn't realize that he was being followed.

He currently knows of two people who can remain undetected by Liang Yue's senses.

One is Ota, and the other is the man in front of them, Leon.

"Actually, I came to see you for one thing, which is to ask you to guide Nina's third squad."

I hope you can join that team and guide them.

Was this a commission issued by Leon in his personal capacity?

Liang Yue thought for a moment and nodded, "I already promised Bader, so there's no need to worry about that."

While I may not be able to guide them perfectly, at least I will try my best to guide them.

The third squad must be the students of Badrban, right?

Taking care of Baderban was a condition for him to study in the school district, so it's acceptable to focus on taking care of a few of them.

As long as you're with him, your safety will be greatly guaranteed when conquering dungeons.

Even if something unusual happens in the underground city, he is confident that he can rescue them from danger.
