Chapter 775: Chapter 438: The Original Intention of the Academy_3

"After today’s events, other nations might voluntarily send some of their less important royal progeny to study at our Flame Torch Academy... but of course, we can’t just accept anyone who arrives. The talent may be slightly inferior, but the character must not be; we cannot let one rotten apple spoil the whole bunch."

"For this aspect, we will have to rely on our diligent Xiao Huan to thoroughly investigate."

"Mm-hm, leave it to Xiao Huan," she said, patting her plump chest, "In the Great Domain of Yunhui, the cities exchange information very frequently, and it will be a lot easier for Xiao Huan to gather."

"Also, how is the current operating situation of the academy, can the acquisition and expenditure of resources be balanced?"

Fang You asked. Liu Feng, who was in charge of school affairs, often worried about financial imbalances and resource depletion.

Upon hearing this,

Xiao Huan pulled up a statistical panel.

"Because our resource acquisition is relatively convenient, and we don’t have any nasty middlemen making a profit from the differential, our income can be a bit higher than our expenses. However, after deducting the operational consumption of the academy and the expenditures necessary in emergency situations, Flame Torch Academy is barely making anything," she said.

As she said this, she seemed a bit downcast.

But Fang You’s original intention in establishing the academy was not to make money, but rather could be said to be ’earning people’.

At that moment, a ’ding dong’ lightbulb appeared above Xiao Huan’s head, and she blinked her big eyes, saying, "That’s it, that’s it! Aren’t other countries trying to send some of their direct descendants to our academy to get a rub of our Land of Inheritance, then we can charge extra fees for those who are less talented."

As she said this, seemingly afraid that Fang You might disapprove, Xiao Huan even gave examples,

"Countries have spent a lot of money to get their descendants into the academies of the Central Sanctuary... Our Flame Torch Academy, after all, teaches real skills. Charging extra fees to the descendants from these countries who do not quite meet the requirements and using it for the operation of the academy, Xiao Huan thinks, is very reasonable."

...

It took less than half a month for the news of Red Sand Nation’s failed challenge to Flame Torch Academy to spread throughout the entire Great Domain of Yunhui.

Yunhui Great Domain was like a placid lake; the moment a ripple forms, it becomes incredibly noticeable.

While the Awakeners from all over were discussing the background of Flame Torch Academy, whether Red Sand Nation might seek revenge, and any other juicy gossips to be had, another significant event occurred. This event caused a much larger disturbance among the ranks of Ordinary Awakened.

"Flame Torch Academy will hold entrance assessments in various locations, and those who pass the preliminary selection can go to the academy for advanced testing; those who pass all assessments can become a Flame Torch Apprentice with unlimited prospects!"

This news was first spread by the various bounty guilds.

And behind these bounty guilds was the myth of Red Sand Nation.

Of course, the Ordinary Awakeners were not aware of these undercurrents. They were simply excited about one thing: Flame Torch Academy was planning... broad recruitment across the entire Domain?!

High-Tier Awakeners, descendants of major forces, seasoned old hands - such individuals were still hesitant about whether to visit Flame Torch Academy to see for themselves.

They either did not believe it, or they were loathe to give up the foundations they had established.

To the lower-tier Awakeners, Flame Torch Academy was even more attractive; it was their chance to leap over the dragon gate!

However, those with the ability to traverse the Great Domain and participate in the assessments at Flame Torch Academy were only the former.

The latter could only listen to the stories being told, sigh with envy, and continue with their ordinary, monotonous lives.

But now...

"Second Master, your daughter may meet the criteria, do not miss this opportunity."

"Granny, you’re only sixty today, and it’s said that you count as a youngster among Awakeners, I think you could give it a try."

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, wait until I enter Flame Torch Academy, then we’ll see!"

...

As the Great Domain of Yunhui stirred with the news of Flame Torch’s comprehensive domain-wide recruitment, the internal debates of countries like Red Sand Nation were also concerning matters related to Flame Torch.

The most discussed point was whether to send their own descendants to study at Flame Torch.

"Based on the current situation, Flame Torch is a quite pure academy, and they have a heritage site that far surpasses ours... My suggestion is to give it a try," one said.

After all, beneath the myth, few descendants had prestigious statuses.

Then, the myths moved on to discuss the cost.

Flame Torch Academy offered two options: study abroad exchanges, or independent examinations.

Independent examinations meant that their descendants would participate in the selection process like anyone else, advancing step by step.

Study abroad exchanges equated to them providing their own tuition, using the cultivation sites of Flame Torch Academy, and with the stipulation that they would not stay at the school after graduation regardless of the circumstances.

"Our designated exchange students can directly receive official student status, but if they violate school regulations, they still risk expulsion, and moreover... the tuition fees for studying abroad are exceedingly expensive."

"Not necessarily, Flame Torch also provides additional academic credits; this expense is still fairly worthwhile."

It may be worthwhile, but compared to getting things for free, it’s undoubtedly a loss.

Myths like freebies too.

"I think, if there are capable young ones who can get through the initial and advanced tests of Flame Torch Academy, let them make their own way. After all, Flame Torch has clearly stated they will not interfere with the students’ decisions to stay or leave... A Demigod’s promise is believable."

"But what if, some young ones want to stay at Flame Torch of their own volition?"

"Hahaha, you worry too much."
