"Assistant Ding, could you tell me about Heavenly Tome Academy? I'm not really familiar with it yet!"
After leaving Vice Dean Han's office, Ian Song turned to Daisy Ding, who was walking just a step behind him, and asked for her guidance.
Hearing this, Daisy's eyes grew a little strange—how could you know nothing about the academy and still show up to apply as a teacher?
But she still went ahead and gave Ian a detailed introduction to Heavenly Tome Academy.
Heavenly Tome Academy was founded over thirteen thousand years ago.
Its founder was the Heavenly Tome Marquis of the Great Jin Imperial Court. He rose from humble origins and was later favored by the Seventh Prince, helping him quell a rebellion.
After the Seventh Prince ascended the throne, he wanted to appoint the Heavenly Tome Marquis as commander of the Hanwing Legion, but the Marquis refused the honor, resigned all his posts, and kept only his marquisate, coming to Giant Jupi City to establish Heavenly Tome Academy.
Since the Heavenly Tome Marquis was originally a commoner, anyone—regardless of background—can join the academy as long as they pass its entrance exams.
It’s not like Gold Dragon Academy in the capital, or Wolf-Star Academy in Dragon-Roar City, which both have strict limits on who they admit.
Gold Dragon Academy only accepts the children of nobility and has exorbitant tuition; Wolf-Star Academy only admits military families, with much lower fees, but its graduates are all skilled in combat and military tactics.
So, Wolf-Star Academy graduates can take up military posts as soon as they finish school.
Anyway, Heavenly Tome Academy has five departments: Combat, Alchemy, Formations, Forging, and Magic Arts.
Student levels are divided into junior, intermediate, and advanced.
Advanced students only need to pass the final assessment to graduate.
With a Heavenly Tome Academy diploma, you qualify for government posts and become highly sought after by the major sects. That’s why the academy has great relations with both the Imperial Court and the big sects.
Some sects even send their own disciples to study at Heavenly Tome Academy.
After explaining the academy’s background, Daisy added, "Teacher Song, this time the new student assessments are being overseen by Teacher Xu from the Combat Department, so whatever duties you’re assigned will be up to him!"
"Alright, I understand. Thanks for the heads-up!"
Soon after.
The two of them arrived in front of a palace-like building, where they met a two-meter-tall, black-robed burly man.
