YM778.TV Chapter 68 - 68: Benefits
"Well then, now that we have time for ourselves, It\'s time to talk about the important matters I previously mentioned. First off, let me give you this."
After they sat inside the private compartment of the levitating train, Instructor Theodore handed out a computerized microchip to Vincent.
"What is this?" Vincent asked as he carefully settled the computerized chip with vein-like lines that glowed blue before dimming to absolute darkness continuously in between his fingers.
"It\'s a specialized chip containing legalized documents that grant special privileges to the signee. Here are a few more things you should know about. The documents are ownerless right now, but you can become their owner by signing on them. The documents can be immediately signed by inserting the chip in the data connector of your student ID card."
Although it was surprising to hear that there is a data connector that could automatically transform some parts of data in the student ID card stored inside of the storage of his spatial device, Vincent was not too shocked as technology of this era was so advanced that even Virtual Reality had become a reality years ago.
"You should insert it right away," Kayle said as she looked at Vincent.
Following her instructions, Vincent pulled out the card from his storage ring and decided to insert the computerized chip inside of its connector. As his scrutinizing gaze loomed over the card in search of the location of the connector, it didn\'t take longer than several seconds for him to insert the chip inside of it and be granted special privileges.
"Great!" Kayle continued, "Now you have gained the following privileges. You\'ve gained the rights to access the military academy archive for free. Similarly, if you like to read things in a book format, you can visit the library, and of course, there will be no entrance cost which is applied to unprivileged students."
"You can learn two magic techniques or combat-grade transcendental techniques free of cost. As energy purifying techniques are also classified as magic techniques, I advise you to learn a magic power purifying method to purify your magic power into a higher grade energy."
After some breaths to relax herself, Kayle continued to explain more about the benefits Vincent has gained from becoming one of the privileged students.
"You are allowed to go to the treasury section of the military academy and obtain one low-level energy channel opening pill and 10 low-level mana stone at the end of every month."
Hearing her words, Vincent\'s pupils enlarged and his gaze burned brightly.
Both the things she mentioned were treasures in his eyes, treasures that a lot of people around his power level will try their best to obtain.
There is a 33.33% chance to open an energy channel after consuming a low-level energy channel opening pill. Energy channels are special pathways that can store energy and circulate energy throughout the body. A person doesn\'t need to use the somatic method to channel magic power and other types of magical energy into a magic technique once they open all their energy channels.
However, only those who have awakened possess energy channels, and although he hasn\'t awakened right now, Vincent believed that these pills will prove to be extremely useful once he does awaken.
While the low-level mana stones weren\'t bad either.
A single mana stone contains 50 units of mana.
50 units of mana is comparable to 500 units of magic power!
These stones are typically used to activate the esoteric technology of this era or replenish a person\'s magic energy.
Furthermore, in a situation where he has little to no magical energy, this stone will prove inevitable useful.
"You\'ve gained permission to access the special store of the military academy. It\'s a store available for those who have been selected to become a part of the nurturing program. A few unique items that are in limited supply are sold here. Though the price of unique items may be high. However, the benefits of obtaining one outweigh the cost. The market is founded by the student President and managed by the members of the student council. The customers must strictly adhere to the rules and this list contains the rules you must never break or you\'ll be banned from accessing the shop for a lifetime." Kayle said with weary eyes as she handed Vincent a list.
"I understand," Vincent nodded.
It was pretty beneficial to gain access to such a market. There were a lot of items that were limited in supply. It\'s mainly resulted due to the ones in power and the crazy rich families abusing their authority. For example, a lot of influential families directly purchase herbs filled to the brim with stable life force consumable by humans without any harmful side effects from the suppliers. This lead to limited supply to the markets accessible by adventures and mercenaries.
This has also caused Vincent to go the wilderness himself in search of a magic herb filled with life force as it was certain that the markets accessible by the public won\'t have any.
Now, he could purchase such items from the special shops. In a sense, he was buying things directly from the suppliers.
"Are you alright?" Vincent asked as he saw her sweating profusely.
"I think my sickness is acting up again. I even took a pill!" Instructor Kayle said as she looked at Theodore.
"You should rest. Take this knockout pill I recently invented. You won\'t know what hit you before you fall asleep. It will instantly knock you out. I will wake you up once we reach our destination."
Theodore knew that Kayle\'s motion sickness was pretty intense, intense enough to become a huge mess. That\'s why he offered her one of his newly invented pills that has passed the clinical trials and was ready to mass-produce.
"Ah, thanks!" Kayle didn\'t hesitate to take the pill as she didn\'t want to puke the content in her guts all over the private compartment.
In the very next second, she fell asleep, and then the roars of monster resounded in the private compartment.
Vincent turned to look at the source of these monstrous outcries, only to notice that instructor Kayle with an angelic face was the source of this monster-like roar, and his mouth parted open but not a single word came out as he was unable to make sense of this unbelievable nonsense.
