Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 194 Guts's Hope

In an effort to retain their students, the faculty of each department announced the rewards for hunting demons well in advance.

Killing a demon in its growth phase will earn you between 500 and 1000 points.

The score will vary depending on the type of demon.

The minimum score is 500 for Ogres (doubled for Two-Headed Ogres), 500 for Creepers and Faceless Ones. 600 for Crypt Demons, Hellhounds, and Vampire Bats. 700 for Teeth, Swamp Demons, and Doomguards. 800 for Red-Skinned Infernal Ghouls, Blue-Skinned Eredar Demons, and Succubi. 900 for Evil Eyes, Balrogs, and Shadow Demons. 1000 for Ethereal Demons, Void Demons, and Abyssal Wyverns.

Killing a fully evolved demon grants ten times the points. Killing a Demon Overlord grants at least 100,000 points. Killing a Hellfire grants 200,000 points.

They shouted inspiring slogans: "To become a true warrior, stay and fight!"

Violet Academy will completely change its past policies. It will concentrate all resources on nurturing outstanding students, aiming to create superstars like Aglaia.

However, no matter how hard one tries, it is impossible to persuade most people to leave, especially those who know they are ordinary.

"Aglaia, the points you earned from killing Hellfire will be directly deducted from your Heavenly Set account. I hope you can continue your efforts. After returning to the academy, I will apply for training resources for you." He made a promise.

"I will remember your kindness." Aglaia bowed deeply.

Before a storm, there is always an unusual calm. With large numbers of students fleeing, the hill camp became deserted, and the atmosphere was unusually heavy.

After repeated discussions, the school leaders decided that the remaining students could form adventure teams to engage in free combat.

Hunt down lone demons as much as possible to earn points for contribution rating; you don't need to participate in the main battle.

When the news spread, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It is said that the vice-principal, on behalf of the college, communicated with the Kingdom's senior leadership and obtained permission and concessions.

King Alfred's intention in mobilizing the Violet Academy was not to send the students to their deaths, but to have the academy's powerful Saint-level warriors engage in a tactic to restrain the demon army.

They are a group of people who are usually difficult to mobilize. If it's done in the name of taking care of the students in the branch school, it's easier to persuade them.

To put it bluntly, the number of hidden powerhouses in Violet Academy far exceeds that of the currently powerful Royal Guard Knights.

Even if only a portion of them are mobilized, there are still six people. Four of them are the deans of the various branch academies, and two are from the Blue Rose family.

De Yulan is also sending elite troops drawn from all over the country to the front lines.

Nearly 60,000 students left the hill camp, and another 10,000 elite magic swordsmen moved in.

They were all of elite rank, equipped with standard rune sets.

In terms of strength, morale, and mentality, they completely overwhelmed the student army of Violet Academy.

Since both parties live in the same area, interaction is inevitable. Wherever there are people, there is society, there are classes, and conflicts and friction will arise.

The beautiful female student became the trigger.

The elite magic swordsmen, generally between twenty-five and thirty-five years old, are in the prime of their lives, their desire for the opposite sex instinctive. Frequent incidents of harassment persist despite repeated attempts to stop them. Ordinary teaching methods are ineffective in suppressing these arrogant and fierce warriors of the same rank.

Fortunately, the deans of the various branches were present. A Saint-level expert personally punished several people, barely suppressing the growth of evil influences.

The Baiyanshan campsite is located two miles away from the hill campsite. Recently, students have been moving there frequently. After a new round of discussions among school leaders, female students have been allowed to temporarily reside there.

Atayal invited many of her close female friends to stay in the cave dwellings that had been opened up in Tai'an.

The current furnishings are almost like those of a hotel, complete with all kinds of furniture and daily necessities. There are even entertainment options, such as a video player that can display images, various chess and card games, and bookshelves.

Tai'an went to the nearest big city and purchased a batch of supplies that were in short supply.

If he wanted, he could easily travel to and from the capital within half a day.

"Xiao An, let me introduce you. This is my good friend Qi Ye. She's one of the four beauties in the academy, just like my sister." Tai Ya smiled and wanted to emphasize the last sentence.

"Hello! Miss Qiye!" Zhengtai greeted her casually.

"You can call me Sister Qiye. Cute little gentleman!" The girl with bright purple hair smiled warmly, doing something she could brag about for a lifetime—a gentle head pat in an older sister's manner.

Tai'an was in a good mood today and didn't pay much attention. Otherwise, in a fit of anger, she might have made Tai'an pay a bloody price.

Taiya quickly stopped her, saying, "You shouldn't touch a boy's head like that, my brother will hate you."

"Oh! I'm sorry, Xiao An!" Qi Ye lowered his posture and bent down to apologize gently.

A delicate face, a bewitching aura, but unfortunately, she's too plain.

The narrow and cramped entrance to the cave.

Gus, who was waiting by the cauldron, replaced the energy-storing magic stones in the inscription furnace on schedule. The simmering process lasted three days and three nights. Finally, the essence of the main and auxiliary ingredients fused together. He couldn't contain his anticipation.

In this time of crisis, everyone is eager to improve their strength.

If Guts continues at the normal training pace, it's impossible for him to break through to the elite rank in a short time. It will probably take at least one to two years of consolidation before his battle aura undergoes a qualitative change.

The only hope for a quick breakthrough lies in the cultivation resources at hand.

Guts knew his strength had fallen to the bottom, with two of his three followers, both women, being far stronger than him. His masculine pride suffered a severe blow.

"We can proceed with the final steps now." Tai'an clapped his hands, walked to the cauldron, released the seal, and lifted the lid.

A semi-solidified, viscous substance slowly floated up in front of me.

It is divided into nine equal-sized pieces.

The viscous substance began to spin wildly. Its irregular shape slowly transformed into a sphere. This is the essence of the alchemist's compression technique! It's not simply about applying pressure from various angles. The process of pill formation is similar to the formation of a planet, constantly rotating and collapsing.

The viscous substance, the size of a human head, gradually grew to the size of a human fist, changing from a liquid to a solid state.

Tai'an realized he had made a mistake in allocating the pills; an average of nine parts would likely result in pills that were difficult to swallow and digest. But it was too late; he could only grit his teeth and continue compressing them. The fist-sized pills shrank further to the size of an eyeball. Finally, unable to continue, he let out a long breath and stopped.

The first attempt to compress the elixir failed due to improper control of the proportions. Learning from the previous mistake, Tai'an divided the remaining eight portions of viscous substance into nine equal parts again.

One by one, the pills, about the size of glass marbles, fell into the prepared porcelain bottle. Because there was no maximum compression, the volume was slightly larger.

Tai'an raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with satisfaction.
