Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 1008 - 107 Star Song Academy
If civilization is a long river, then the human civilization of the Sixth Era actually inherits the culture and spirit of the Fourth Era. As for the human civilization of the Fifth Epoch, it is deemed absolutely wrong and unacknowledged by people today. The roots of Fourth Era's culture lie in the dramatic changes at the end of the Third Epoch, and many things from that era have been praised and sung about through generations.
The 'Star Song Academy', an ancient university, was originally established by a group of adherents to the Sage's Way. Their purpose was simple: to pass down the sayings and classics of His Highness.
'Adhering to the simplest and most sincere beliefs, not being confused by any distractions, and facing everything about oneself and others honestly; doing what one should do.'
This is the creed they summarized.
Although they inherited the thoughts of His Highness, they did not inherit the relevant methods of practicing secret techniques, as it is a purely academic and ideological school. Therefore, not many chose to study here, and for a long time, the school remained unknown.
Fortunately, this initial obscurity prevented much external interference and the influence of secular interests. Over time, through the dedication of generations of members and their simple style and spirit of unity and cooperation, they gradually accumulated their own system, forming a stable model of inheritance.
In this era, obtaining information on practicing Transcendent arts is not difficult, but such a highly trusted group with a shared noble ideal is rare.
It's unclear when it started, but the school's level of practicing Transcendent Sequence has caught up with most prestigious universities. Despite the students' usual belief in a low-key and simplistic style, they have been increasingly recognized, attracting more and more people.
Today, 'Star Song Academy' ranks among the top ten universities in the Federation. Although due to the large number of applicants, the admission scores are high, it is still popular.
Passing through the school gate, the facilities inside are closely integrated with nature, with many grand buildings resembling temples or antique halls.
"Those were built according to the style of the ancient 'Amenas Academy'," Elena explained to Tilan.
"In the central hall is painted a portrait of Lord Loranshir, said to have been completed over ten years by hundreds of early members. If you want to visit, you need to reserve tickets a week in advance, and it's only open 2 days each week."
"Let's head to the dormitory where we'll stay."
Then Elena and Wei Ke led Tilan to a distant white mansion. It wasn't very tall, only eight floors, with snow-white outer walls partitioned by brown borders. Once inside, many simple wooden structures could be seen.
"Although it's wood, it's actually high-quality maple, treated with Extraordinary Craftsmanship so it won't mold or rot for centuries," they continued introducing Tilan while walking up traditional wooden stairs.
"There seems to be no elevator here?" Tilan asked, slightly curious.
"Yes, because the school has always adhered to a simple style, and hasn't installed too many electronic devices."
"But there are electric lights and hot water; while it's simple, it doesn't purposely create difficulties and is quite comfortable to live in."
"Senior students usually leap and fly from observation decks directly out, for Transcendents, eight floors are not high at all."
As they explained, they occasionally encountered familiar classmates who greeted them and Tilan warmly, sometimes offering homemade snacks, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
The students here are very nice, Tilan felt a bit fond of it, she could distinguish which were feigned concern and which were instinctive friendliness.
Arriving at the dormitory room, Tilan briefly toured the facilities inside. The bed and furniture were mostly wooden, with a simple and warm style, lacking complex carvings. The bedding and tablecloths were modest pure white.
Sitting by the small desk in the dormitory, Tilan glanced at the textbook filled with notes on the shelf, an old book nearby, and the hand-drawn sketches hanging not far away gave her a vague sense of reassurance.
This environment easily calms people down for studying, and once silently progressing every day, one's mentality also calms and steadies. This school ethos might be the true foundation of the school.
If she weren't a songstress, maybe she would choose 'Star Song Academy'. Despite the 'Golden Flame Flower Academy' having the best resources, the myriad of interests there makes it less serene.
Thinking of this, Tilan hesitated slightly whether to include Elena and Wei Ke in her club, wondering if letting them study peacefully here would be better.
After pondering for a few seconds, Tilan stopped hesitating, realizing it's better to frankly ask them directly than to keep thinking about such problems.
...
"What do you think? If you follow me, it might take a lot of time and delay your studies."
"That's not a problem, Lady Tilan," Elena answered with a big smile.
"I didn't expect Tilan to worry about this for us. Actually, with just a bit of planning, the time is completely enough. Plus, learning inside the school and practicing outside are equally important. As Lord Sage said, always reading but not doing things will sooner or later cause problems."
"Me too," Wei Ke nodded.
The three of them continued chatting for a long time until a knock on the door interrupted them.
