Chapter 11 - Going to Academy.

Mysterious Heaven Kally Skill inner strength, pouring into the tree leaves, the soft leaves immediately became perfectly straight. With flick of Sai Joshi's index and middle finger, and the tree leaves spun out, splitting the air as they flew forth.

Just one metre, the leaves only flew out to a one metre distance, then were already unable to maintain their rotating state when they stopped being hard. As they left Sai Joshi's finger, Mysterious Heaven skill's inner strength effect naturally vanished.

"It's effect is still too weak."

He could not help but shake his head. Sai Joshi stood up, it was about time to return. Today was his departure from the village; he did not know when he would be able to come to this hilltop again.

Standing on tip toes, his lower legs emitting force, Sai Joshi user Ghostly Shadow Steps, faced down the mountain and left.

The intimately familiar scent of soup wafted out. Before departing the village this was the very last time he will his mom cooking, so Sai Joshi naturally could not be help, eat a higher than usual. Checking everything is okay.

Old Amith had already arrived. Perhaps because he wanted to leave for Itrus Star city, today the clothes old Amith wore were especially new, making him look even more hearty.

"Little Sai, let's leave."

Old Amith called to Sai Joshi.

Jhanvi Joshi, and Sai Joshi come out from house, then she greeted Old Amith, then she turned towards Sai Joshi, and said,

"Little Sai, remember what you promised, and be careful, and take care of yourself."

"Okay, mom. I remembered everything, and also take care of yourself, mom. Whenever I get holidays I come see you." Sai Joshi hugged Jhanvi Joshi, said.

Then they leave, Jhanvi Joshi stood there and didn't move, even when Sai Joshi and village elder Amith's backs had already completely disappeared, she still stood there blankly for a long time.

Walking along the road, Sai Joshi silently followed by old Amith's side, frequently turning his head back to look in the direction of the village.

"Little Sai, do you miss the village or miss the mom of yours?"

Old Amith patted Sai Joshi's head, and asked with a smile.

"A bit of both."

Sai Joshi replied in a low voice.

Old Amith smiled slightly, and said:

"Compared to those my good-for-nothing grandsons, you are far more intelligent. It would be so good if you were my grandson. Jhanvi Joshi truly is fortunate. Do not think too much; outside, the world are very vast. At the academy you can get to know very many friends. You can learn many things. After you have become a spirit master, the country will grant a monthly stipend, and at that time your family will also be able tolive well."

Sai Joshi was after all a person who had gained a second life, listening to Old Amith's words, his mood already gradually recovered to normal, and in his heart was an unbearable longing for the outside world. He asked:

"Grandpa Amith, can you tell me about the academy? What kind of place is it exactly?"

Old Amith smiled a bit, and said:

"The academy is of course a place to study. Although I never went, but for the most part I still understand. Our village has a quota to send one working student every year, but we have already for very many years not sent a working student to study. Working students still have very many favourable terms, exemption from tuition and accommodation fees; just paying for food yourself is sufficient. On the campus you can perform simple jobs in exchange for edibles. For example, sweeping classrooms and so on. Speaking overall, to a student who is working part time and studying at the academy it does not differ much from being free of charge. As for funding to study at the academy, it is not something we poor people can be able to bear."

"But afterwards the intermediate spirit master academy has no working student quota that indeed requires a lot of money to be able to study. A spirit master stipend alone is far from enough."

Since Sai Joshi had innate full spirit power, old Amith already saw him as a spirit master without doubt.

Sai Joshi looked at Old Amith, puzzled, and said:

"There is still an intermediate spirit master academy? And what is the difference compared to the elementary spirit master academy? Both are academies, they should both be teaching about spirit master, right."

Old Amith explained with great patience:

"Naturally there is not only one kind. The elementary spirit master academy teaches a few basic things, and additionally you can study some educational courses. They only accept children who have just awakened their spirits as students and the length of the schooling is 4 years, so by the time they are 19, if they do not have any prospects, they also become ordinary spirit masters. But if their talent is pretty good, the majority of people can go to take advanced studies at the intermediate spirit master academy, continuously studying until becoming 23 years old. The intermediate spirit master academy teaches some advanced things, but the difficulty of the studies rises enormously. In case they are unable to reach the academy requirements, they will be unable to successfully graduate. This is different compared to the elementary spirit master academy."

"Little Sai ah! In a moment grandpa will take you to the academy and then return. When you are alone at the academy you must listen to your teachers, you must not leave the academy without permission. When the semester ends, Grandpa will again come to meet you. That time will be almost at the New Year."

This was after all the first time Sai Joshi left home. In his heart he was somewhat flustered, and subconsciously said:

"Grandpa Amith, you are leaving this soon?"

Old Jack said with a wry smile:

"A hotel is not for us poor people to stay in. You must try to win credit. When grandpa sees you next time, I hope you will already have become a spirit master so that you can be the pride of our Armic Spirit village."
