Mixed Blessing System

After the coachman informed them of their arrival at their destination, Lothur and Annaliese quickly set off in the direction of the Morning Star Academy.

As they made their way towards the entrance to the academy, they came face to face with a large building complex, somewhat similar to the multi-sport complexes that exist on Earth.

The buildings there, on the other hand, appeared much more high-end, with many rounded surfaces and some impossible angles, contrary to what Lothur thought made sense.

That place honestly did not look like the typical environment Lothur thought he would find here. After all, was not this supposed to be a place of learning?

And seeing Lothur's eyes moving from side to side, exploring the surroundings, Annaliese laughed softly and said. "The Morning Star Academy is a complete training complex for cultivators below the 3rd stage."

"That way, there are all kinds of training rooms, challenge rooms, libraries, facilities to support the students, etc. Finally, there are always a few thousand students around this place, and some of them even live here. So, there is also a dormitory in this area."

"Thus, the built-up area of the academy is vast, and some buildings are somewhat special."

Hearing all that while walking beside Annaliese and observing the surroundings, Lothur understood this place little by little.

"What are the cultivation ranks?" He asked.

"You don't know? Really?" She found this strange, even considering that Lothur could not cultivate.

She knew that upon marrying her sister, Lothur had passed several Frost family tests, particularly those concerning cultivation and talent. So, she knew that he was just an ordinary human with no cultivation.

However, even ordinary humans knew at least the basics about the first cultivation ranks in this world.

"Well, I was busy with other things on my mind, so I don't know much about it..."

"Sigh..."

"That's fine."

"There are five cultivation stages known. The first is called Mortal Warrior, which is divided into nine transformations. Next comes the Spiritual Warrior, which is divided into six revolutions."

"The 3rd is the Transcendent stage, subdivided into Soul Core, Nascent Soul, and Divine Soul."

"The 4th stage is the Saint, subdivided into Origin, Celestial, and Supreme."

"Finally, the highest of all, with only legends of people reaching it, is the Sage stage, which should be divided into five catastrophes."

"Isn't there a 6th stage?" Lothur asked in curiosity.

"Of course not!"

"How would there be?"

"Even cultivators at the end of the 4th stage are already extremely rare to appear in the world. So, how can we think of a 6th stage?" She said this as if she were talking to an idiot.

And in fact, what she had said was not absurd. Even 4th stage cultivators were usually only known through history books and knowledge passed down orally in great organizations.

But even the Frost family had no information about people at that stage in contemporary times. So, how could Annaliese dare to think about the existence of a 6th stage?

That was counter-intuitive!

"I see..."

"Well, if you have any questions, you can look for me in Sector-4."

"Sector-4?" He asked in doubt.

"The academy is subdivided into six sectors, representing different levels of talent and cultivation. The higher the sector, the higher your position within the academy. And consequently, the options for classes, training, anyway, are significantly different from one sector to the next."

"But just so you know, as long as you can improve your cultivation and knowledge, you can move up sectors. So your talent only determines where you will start in the academy."

"Oh? You're in Sector-4. What cultivation level is required for that?"

"6th Transformation." She smiled.

"And what sector does your sister study?"

Annaliese's satisfied expression disappeared upon hearing this, giving way to one of embarrassment. "When she comes to the academy, she attends Sector-6."

"Seriously?" Lothur's eyes widened in surprise, shocked to discover that his wife was so talented.

He knew that Viktoria could not be at the peak of the 2nd stage. So, upon hearing that she frequented the Sector-6, he immediately inferred this was due to her impressive talents.

He then touched one of Annaliese's shoulders, understanding the pressure she felt from her twin sister. But he did not say anything to this sister-in-law of his.

Saying something would make no difference to her as Annaliese had undoubtedly heard all kinds of advice not to compare herself to Viktoria or let herself get down about it. Thus, if she still cared about it, saying more might cause unnecessary friction.

Therefore, he had remained silent, merely showing his support through that small gesture.

"Well, I don't want to get in your way, so just give me the directions to Sector-1..." He was about to say that when suddenly he remembered something.

"Since I have no cultivation and my talent is terrible, where should I go?"

She then shook her head from side to side, putting that matter aside. "I believe you will study in Sector-1, so just follow the directions for that area."

"In each sector, there is an administration. You should go there to make your identification and ask your questions."

"Hmm, thanks, see you later." He gestured goodbye to her, following the directions distributed throughout that area.

...

After some time of walking through the complex of the Morning Star Academy, Lothur finally reached Sector-1 administrative building.

In this place that looked like an ordinary office building, this young man soon came across a small line of people.

That was not the regular season for students to enter this academy, so the number of new students was not significant to the point that this place was filled with people, as Lothur expected.

And realizing this, he soon felt better since he would not have to wait long in this place.

After making a few inquiries around the area, he soon joined the queue in question, waiting to be attended to.

In this place, the new students of this institution were not only given an identification card to access the buildings in this area but also to participate in external missions.

Lothur did not know this yet, but there were disputes between disciples in this institution, with even a ranking of the students.

There were many possibilities in this place that he would eventually get to know. But all this could only be done through the identification obtained in this place, a type of credential with unique formations inscriptions.

Besides this essential item, the new students would get at these places some basic information about the rules and the location of each part of the sector they were in.

Finally, the institution set up an academic training program from the moment a new student registered there. So this was also passed on to the new students in this area.

As for the issue regarding cultivation, training, in short, practical things, this was much freer. Each student was unrestrained in deciding how they would use their time.

And upon finding out about this, Lothur readily understood why his wife could afford to come to this place when she wanted.

She was already part of the highest sector of the academy, so she probably no longer had any theoretical obligations there. And since the practical part was more independent, she could come whenever she wanted to this place and use her time for other essential matters of her life.

Finally, he learned that the requirement to graduate from this institution was 10 years here, reach at least Sector-4, or reach the 3rd stage, which, when done by a student of Sector-6, would already be enough to end such student time there.

After taking his study plan, Lothur realized that some of his subjects were not so different from the ones he had on Earth. For example, he had to take some subjects that the people of this world called economics, geopolitics, anatomy, languages, etc.

In other words, things similar to what he had seen on Earth.

There were also other subjects that he could not associate with anything from his past life, but this was to be expected. After all, he was in the cultivation world now!

But while he understood all that, he suddenly heard his name being called.

"Lothur Ritter, come with me. The director wants to speak with you."
