Chapter 4318 Class Begins
After discussing Breda with Angel and Laplace and confirming her situation, he issued a "designated appointment" to Breda.
It's worth noting that "appointment" and "recruitment" are different. Recruitment directly brings people into the school city, while after an appointment is issued, a pop-up window will appear on Angel's side.
"Please select the position of the designated appointer."
Currently available positions include: Vice President, Dean of a School, and General Mentor.
Angell looked at the three positions with a somewhat subtle expression.
The vice-principal has level 8 authority, the dean of the college has level 7 authority, and the ordinary tutor has level 4 authority.
Why are there only these three positions?
Where are the senior mentors and department heads in the middle?
When he encountered something he didn't understand, Angor directly asked the spirit of the Citadel.
Spirit of the City: "I know that!"
"After I woke up, a lot of information came into my mind, including information about job titles. The vice principal has almost the same authority as the principal, which can only be appointed by the principal, and the vice principal must complete his/her own tasks."
"Other positions require starting as a Level 4 mentor, completing the Level 4 mentor's assigned tasks, then applying to the vice principal or principal for promotion. After approval, they can continue with the Level 5 senior mentor's assigned tasks..."
The highest level of authority one can attain is Level 7, provided that the principal or vice-principal approves of this level of authority.
The vice-principal has the authority to approve applications, but the principal has the authority to directly appoint candidates and the power to veto them.
After listening, Angell was somewhat dazed. The promotion rules were completely hierarchical, giving ordinary mentors hope of climbing up while locking core power firmly at the top.
The principal's authority is almost unshakeable.
The vice principal was also directly appointed by the principal; in reality, this is clearly nepotism.
It even has a hint of centralization. If someone else were in charge of these rules, there could be a lot of corruption issues... Fortunately, he is the principal himself.
After learning about the advancement rules for those with authority, Angel no longer hesitated and directly offered Breda the position of "ordinary mentor".
Breda agreed without hesitation.
The next second, Breda was pulled into the Citadel.
The place it entered was right next to the Prushi people who had been brought in earlier.
With Angell's successful recruitment and hiring, the second exclusive task was completed, and the text bar refreshed to show the third task.
"You have completed the second round of the principal's exclusive task."
"You gain the right to designate positions and the right to veto with a single click."
"You have accepted the third step of the principal's exclusive mission—starting classes."
"Task objective: Assign a teacher to arrange the lessons and conduct classroom evaluation."
"Note 1: This is a series of quests; you can only leave Wonderland by completing all the quests."
Countdown: None
Looking at the new quest in the text bar, Angor's expression was a little strange.
Classes have started already?
Should we not recruit more students and hire more faculty and staff?
Angell thought for a moment, then opened the recruitment and hiring interface again and found that... it was still usable.
In other words, he can now continue to recruit and hire students.
Looking at the completely free admissions and hiring process, Angell pondered for a moment, a flash of understanding appearing in his eyes.
He seemed to understand the intention behind the "chain missions".
This is merely a rough introductory guide to help Angor understand his permissions. How Angor handles and utilizes these permissions is entirely up to him.
In other words, his previous idea of "recruiting and hiring a large number of people" was not a specific task, but rather a matter of Angell's free will to decide whether to continue recruiting and hiring people.
Should we continue with the student recruitment and hiring process now?
After thinking it over, Angell finally made a decision: it was definitely going to be done, after all, the Prussians were still waiting on the Dream Bridge; but he planned to complete the "newbie guide" or "newbie tutorial" first before conducting large-scale recruitment and hiring.
As for now.
Angell raised his head and said to the air, "Spirit of the Citadel, are you there?"
Soon, a familiar mechanical voice echoed in the air: "Headmaster, I'm here."
“I have just appointed a tutor named Breda; and I have also taken on a student.”
The Spirit of the City: "I can sense it. She is greeting a student at the city gate, but the student doesn't seem to be reacting."
The Prussians are now in a state of spiritual emptiness and loss of consciousness, so it would be strange if they reacted.
Angel: "Contact Breda and have her take the students to the nearest teaching building. You can give her directions."
The Spirit of the City nodded: "Understood. The nearest teaching building to Instructor Breda is Building Number One in District 9. I will guide her there now."
After speaking, the voice of the spirit of the city of learning gradually faded away.
Angor was relieved to confirm, through God's perspective, that the Spirit of the Citadel had begun contacting Breda.
He sent Breda to the teaching building, naturally intending to have her teach classes.
Although there is only one student in the entire Fool's Academy, it is a bit strange to start classes right away, but in order to complete the exclusive mission as soon as possible, Angor decided to ignore these flaws for the time being.
After confirming the location of Building 1 in the Ninth School District from a god-like perspective, Angell himself walked out of the principal's office.
He planned to go and take a look at Teaching Building No. 1.
Firstly, he wanted to meet with Breta. After all, as the first teacher of the Fools' Academy, Angor couldn't be so heartless as to refuse to even see her before letting her work.
After all, Breda and Gleipnir were good friends.
Seeing that things had come to this, Angell had no choice but to go and see him.
Secondly, I also wanted to observe the start of this course from the sidelines.
The task objective clearly states that he needs to conduct a "classroom rating" for this lesson.
If he doesn't even observe this course, how can he be given a grade?
Therefore, Angell had to attend the opening ceremony of the course regardless.
The Ninth School District is a bit far from the central school district, but that's fine for Angell... because he can fly directly there.
The principal's office is located at the top of the hill, overlooking the nine surrounding school districts. The elevation difference in this terrain makes gliding the easiest way to navigate.
After choosing a high point, Angell immediately activated his "Celestial Changes" power and glided towards the Ninth School District...
……
Meanwhile, Breda had already made contact with the Spirit of the Citadel.
Although Breda was somewhat surprised by the Citadel Spirit's sudden outburst, she was relieved when she learned that it was sent by "Headmaster Angle".
Angel's name is now known to everyone in the Crystal Eye Clan, and she had naturally heard of him as well.
Breda held this "great benefactor of the Crystal Eyes" in high esteem.
"So, should I now follow Lord City Spirit's directions to the teaching building?" Breda asked.
Spirit of the City: "Yes, but you don't need to call me Lord Spirit of the City, just call me Spirit of the City."
Breda smiled gently: "The one who can assist Lord Angel is naturally also a Lord."
The spirit of the city fell silent.
As an independent entity, it wanted to ask, "Is the principal famous in your world?" But as the principal's assistant, it could not presume to ask such a question.
“The Headmaster is the real master; I am merely an assistant,” the Spirit of the Citadel said softly. “Instructor Breda, let’s go to the teaching building first… There are school buses in the Citadel that we can summon directly.”
"School bus?" Breda was taken aback.
The Spirit of the City: "Yes, there are two types of school buses in the City: express school buses and fixed-route school buses. Their sign is a round sign erected by the roadside, with one of them being a mechanical bird and the other a mechanical horse."
“These round plaques are very common inside the Citadel. For example, there is one to the right of Instructor Breda.”
As expected, Breda saw two round plaques near the school gate, just as the spirit of the Citadel had guided her.
They stood side by side, as the spirit of the city had said, with a mechanical bird painted on one of the discs and a tall mechanical carriage on the other.
"The mechanical bird is like a high-speed school bus that can be summoned anytime, anywhere. Because it operates in flight, it is extremely fast."
"However, calling the speedboat school bus costs City Points."
"Academy Point?" Breda asked curiously.
“Instructor Breda can think of it as the universal currency within the City. You need City Points to use for transportation, to buy supplies, or to rent or buy property within the City.”
Breda looked curious: "Do we still need to buy property? But the letter of appointment I just received said that faculty and staff are provided with dormitories, didn't it?"
The Spirit of the University City: "The two situations are different. Faculty and staff dormitories are free to live in, but can only be occupied by faculty and staff. However, houses in the city can be given to other people to live in."
As the Spirit of the Citadel recounted the story, Breda gradually came to understand.
There are many residential areas within the university town, and the houses in these residential areas can be purchased and rented. Once you have the right to reside there, you can be granted the status of an "ordinary resident" to outsiders.
Although ordinary residents only have Level 1 privileges, which are even lower than those of students, they can still enjoy a stable life within the school city.
In other words, once you own a house, you can bring your family and friends from outside into the City instance to live with you.
"You mean, I can leave the university town?"
The spirit of the university: "Faculty and staff can leave at any time as long as certain conditions are met."
The Spirit of the City did not specify what the conditions were.
Breda didn't press further, as she had no immediate plans to leave: "So how do I obtain Academy Points?"
"As long as you complete the weekly teaching tasks step by step, you will receive a large number of Academy Points. In addition, faculty and staff can also earn Academy Points by triggering and completing extra tasks."
Although this was Breda's first time entering the dungeon, she had spent some time in Dream Crystal Plains and had some understanding of the dungeon.
The term "academy city" can be understood as follows: teaching tasks are routine tasks that every faculty and staff member can accept; however, extra tasks are similar to side quests or hidden quests, which require you to find a way to trigger them yourself.
This is the same as the task triggering logic for other instances.
"But I don't have a school point right now, so it seems I can't call the express school bus?"
The Spirit of the City: "It's alright, Instructor Breda can choose the designated school bus, which is the mechanical carriage in the picture; as a faculty member, the designated school bus is free to ride."
According to the spirit of the city, the designated school buses operate on a predetermined route and circulate within the city every day.
However, designated school buses also have a call button.
If the designated school bus is relatively free, the call button can be used to change its route and quickly come to the caller to serve them.
But all of this is predicated on "free time".
When the school city is busy, the call button is basically useless, and the scheduled school bus will not change its route just because you call it.
"However, the city is not fully open yet, so the designated school buses will definitely respond to Instructor Breda's call."
Breda arrived at the sign for the designated school bus and, sure enough, found the round button with a faint glow underneath.
With a gentle press, the light turned green, indicating that the designated school bus could now be summoned.
"The school bus has responded and should arrive in about half a minute," came the voice of the Spirit of the City.
Breda nodded, strode towards the school gate, and pulled the purple-skinned girl who was standing there in a daze to the school bus sign.
Before entering, Breda knew about the Prussians, so the moment she saw her, she knew that this taciturn, purple-skinned girl was the student she would be teaching in the future.
Breda scrutinized her closely.
She was very beautiful, like a princess in a fairy tale, but unfortunately her eyes were lifeless and she had no awareness of the outside world.
Previously, before the Spirit of the Citadel arrived, Bridal had interacted with her for a long time, but unfortunately, she did not react at all.
If it were someone else, they might immediately think of the difficulties they would face when teaching in the future; but Breda showed no distress whatsoever, her eyes filled only with pity.
What a pitiful person.
Soon, the carriage arrived in front of Breda with its clattering footsteps.
Breda, amazed by the sheer size of the mechanical carriage, gripped the hand of the girl from Prussia and helped her onto the carriage.
Fortunately, although the Prussian girl was unconscious, she seemed to retain some bodily inertia, and would lift herself up when she encountered a bump and stop moving forward when she encountered a pit.
In addition, a mechanical conveyor belt extends from the carriage door, so helping the Prussian girl board the carriage is not difficult.
After boarding the carriage with the girl from Prusha, they selected Building 1 of the Ninth School District as their destination, and the carriage immediately began to move.
The carriage moved swiftly, and within just two or three minutes, a "ding-dong" sound rang out inside the carriage, indicating that the destination had been reached.
Breda led the Prussian girl off the train.
At a glance, you can see the magnificent and tall yellow-gray building in front of you. Although its color is very simple, its shape is like an opera house, with not only a leaf-shaped dome, but also an intricate and dazzling exterior wall carving.
This is Teaching Building No. 1.
Breda pulled the girl from Prussia toward the school building, but just then, she suddenly heard a loud, whistling sound in the air.
Looking up, they saw that Angel was flying towards their location.
After landing, Angel clapped his hands and waved to Breda.
Breda, on the other hand, looked behind Angel.
Angell turned around in confusion, but there was nothing behind him.
Breda: "Didn't Mr. Angell come on the speeding school bus? Where's the mechanical bird?"
"A speeding school bus?" Angell's expression froze, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Huh? There's a school bus here?"
