Following the glowing arrow displayed on his holo-watch, Levi began making his way through the campus.
The holo-watch projected a simple holographic image of a watch pointing him in the direction of his assigned accommodation with distance markers that counted down as he walked.
The academy itself was absolutely massive in scale, easily comparable to an entire mid-sized city in terms of area.
Levi had read about the campus before, but actually experiencing it firsthand was something else.
Buildings of various length and width filled the entire campus.
What truly caught Levi’s attention were the nine mountains that rose from various around the academy’s perimeter.
Each mountain was different in height, ranging from three hundred meters tall to truly imposing giants that stretched upward for over ten kilometers tall.
The most striking feature of these mountains were the thick fog that covered the entirety of the mountain top, making it impossible to see their summits clearly from ground level.
But this wasn’t ordinary fog created by weather or temperature differences. This was condensed Astra energy so dense that it had actually become visible to the naked eye, forming clouds of power that permanently shrouded the mountaintops where the academy’s most powerful elders lived and cultivated in seclusion.
The energy radiating from those nine mountains spread outward across the entire academy campus, permeating the air and ground.
Levi could feel the difference and could tell that the energy here was easily five times denser than the outside world.
Simply breathing and existing in this environment would passively benefit a cultivator’s growth, allowing students to progress faster than they could anywhere else. It was one of the advantages of attending a prestigious institution like this rather than trying to cultivate independently.
At the very center of the nine mountains was the fifth mountain. That stood at the center of the academy.
The mountain was so tall it literally disappeared into the clouds high above, making the rest of the eight mountains look short in comparison!
Even the Astra energy coming out from the mountain was so strong it fool
Be felt one kilometer away.
According to the information Levi had absorbed from academy materials, this was where the Dean of Chaotic Star Academy resided in permanent seclusion.
As Levi continued following the guidance arrow through the campus, he passed numerous other significant structures. There were massive buildings dedicated to combat training,
There were academic facilities for theoretical study of cultivation principles, alchemy, matrix arrays, and dozens of other specialized subjects.
There were cafeterias large enough to feed thousands of students simultaneously, stocked with both dimensional beast meat and spirit herbs that provided cultivation benefits.
There was also the Archive which contained thousands of technique manuals, historical records, and research documents.
There was a Task Collection Building where students could accept missions in exchange for rewards and contribution points. And dozens of other specialized facilities that served various purposes in the complex ecosystem of academy life.
Levi realized it would probably take him months just to familiarize himself with all the available resources and their locations.
But that was a problem for later. Right now, he needed to focus on reaching his assigned accommodation and finally getting some genuine rest after the past two days.
After about twenty minutes of walking, Levi arrived at his destination.
The entrance to the district was marked by an elegant archway with characters carved into the stone that read ’Elite Year One District’ [EY1].
Beyond the archway, Levi could see an organized houses that was clearly designed to house the academy’s most privileged first-year students.
At the very center of the district, floating in the air above the residential buildings, was a massive holographic display that was visible from every corner of the area.
The hologram was actually a leaderboard with names arranged in descending order along with numerical rankings beside each entry.
Levi’s steps slowed as he looked up at the hologram and began scanning through the names, curious about where he would rank among the Elite Class students who had entered the academy before the trial examination.
When his eyes finally located his own name on the board, his pupils contracted slightly in surprise.
"Eh?"
[213. Levi Borne]
He was actually ranked number two hundred thirteenth amongst elite students.
Doesn’t that mean there are about 200 people who had come here before him?
It was somewhat shocking considering he had just claimed first place in the trial examination and yet there were two hundred twelve students who apparently ranked above him in terms of overall evaluation.
The 200 students should be students who had entered the academy through the standard admission process rather than the trial examination.
They came from noble families and prestigious clans and would likely possessed Astra Soul talents of C-Rank or higher, and many of them probably had bloodlines recorded in the Bloodline Codex’s rankings.
They had most likely been training since childhood with access to resources and instructors to put the at the top of the food chain compared to those lowborn like himself.
Shaking off those thoughts for the moment, Levi continued into the residential district proper. The housing was arranged in an interesting fashion, with buildings lining both sides of a long central pathway that stretched from the entrance to the far end of the district. The buildings were numbered from one to three hundred, and Levi quickly noticed a pattern in their construction.
Building number three hundred, which corresponded to the lowest-ranked Elite Class student, was essentially just a single room. Not a small house or a modest apartment, but literally a small single room.
As the building numbers decreased from 300 to 200, the houses became even better and more luxurious.
Building 200 wasn’t a small house and was a single- storey building and it contained very large space with training rooms, guest rooms and so on.
Looking at Building 100 from here, Levi saw it was actually a three-story building.
And as he saw Building 1 his eyebrows lifted up in surprise.
Building 1 was an actual mansion!
