Celestial Peak Academy

Kaito looked at his father with a mixture of surprise and curiosity. The idea of attending the academy was one that had crossed his mind several times, but he had always considered it a distant prospect.

His family didn't look that well off and there was absolutely no way attending the academy was free in this time and age.

"Go to the academy?" Kaito repeated the words, letting them sink in. "Father, do you really think I'm ready for that? Also, can we afford it?"

Hiroshi, Kaito's father, smiled warmly and placed a reassuring hand on his son's shoulder. "You brat, you've grown so much in the time you've spent here in Veridian Haven. Your dedication to your studies and your inquisitive nature have earned the respect of the village elders."

Kaito's mother, Aiko, nodded in agreement. "Your father and I have discussed this with the elders and we believe that you have the potential to achieve great things. The academy will provide you with opportunities to learn from some of the most knowledgeable scholars and martial practitioners in the state."

Kaito considered their words carefully. He had heard that the academy was a prestigious institution, known for producing some of the most skilled Chakra manipulators and martial artists in the land. It was a place where one's potential could be fully realized.

And despite being in possession of the ABS, Kaito knew he couldn't really use any of the cultivation technique and arts written in it.

Hiroshi reassured him, "Kaito, the academy will not be a hindrance to your studies. In fact, it will complement your training. The knowledge you've gained from the scripture will give you a unique advantage. Besides, many scholars at the academy are well-versed in ancient texts and can guide you in your journey."

Aiko added, "We believe that your time at the academy will help you understand the broader applications of your studies. It's not about abandoning the Absolute Beginning Scripture; it's about expanding your horizons."

Kaito reflected on his parents' words. The idea of attending the academy was both exciting and daunting. He felt a deep sense of responsibility to honor the trust his parents had in him, and he also saw the potential for growth that lay ahead.

"Alright," Kaito finally said with determination. "I'll go to the academy and continue my studies of the scripture. I won't forget the path I've chosen."

His parents beamed with pride, and Hiroshi nodded approvingly. "That's our boy. We believe in you, Kaito."

In the following weeks, preparations were made for Kaito's departure to the academy. His mother and father, along with the village elders, ensured that he had everything he needed for this new chapter of his life.

On the day of his departure, the entire village gathered to bid Kaito farewell. The people of Veridian Haven had become like family to him, and he felt a deep sense of gratitude for their support and guidance.

As he stood at the village entrance, Kaito turned to face the crowd. "I promise that I will make you proud," he declared, his voice filled with sincerity.

The villagers cheered and applauded, their faces filled with pride and encouragement. Kaito's journey was about to take a significant step forward, and he was ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead.

With a final wave to his family and friends, Kaito set off on the path that would lead him to the academy together with the village chief.

The road was long and uncertain, but he was determined to make the most of every moment and continue his pursuit of mastery.

And so, the next chapter of Kaito's life began, filled with the promise of new adventures, friendships, and the boundless potential that awaited him at the academy.

...

As Kaito and the village chief, who Kaito came to know was Isamu, made their way from Veridian Haven towards the academy, the landscape gradually transformed.

After several days of travel, they finally arrived at the town where the academy was located. It was a bustling center of activity, with merchants peddling wares and students in robes of various colors hurrying to and fro.

Kaito's heart swelled with excitement and trepidation as he gazed at the tall spires of the academy in the distance.

This was his first time seeing such a large crowd in this new world that he found himself in. For the past half year, the number of people he had become used to seeing were so little that he could actually remember all of their names.

But seeing this bustling scene left him in awe.

The town surrounding the academy was a vibrant hub of activity. People from various regions bustled through its streets, and stalls lined the pathways, selling exotic goods and artifacts. It was a far cry from the peaceful isolation of Veridian Haven.

Kaito observed the vibrant town with wide eyes, taking in the sights, sounds, and the unfamiliar aroma of street vendors' offerings. The academy was situated at the heart of this bustling town, and the village chief, a man of wisdom and experience, began to explain the layout.

"The town is known as Azurebloom," the village chief began. "It serves as the primary center of commerce and culture in this region. As you can see, it's a lively place where people from all walks of life converge."

Kaito nodded, taking in the energetic atmosphere of Azurebloom.

The village chief continued, "The academy, known as Celestial Peak Academy, is the most renowned institution in the country. It has a sprawling campus, and its grounds are divided into different sectors, each with its own unique purpose."

Kaito listened intently as the chief elaborated on the layout:

**Scholar's Quarter:** This area housed the academy's libraries, research facilities, and classrooms. It was where students received their academic education and studied various subjects, including history, philosophy, and the arts. The libraries contained vast collections of texts, scrolls, and ancient tomes.

**Martial Grounds:** These extensive training grounds were equipped for students to practice their martial arts and Chakra manipulation. There were open-air arenas, obstacle courses, and training dummies for combat practice.

**Elemental Towers:** Five towering structures, each representing one of the five elemental affinities—Water, Fire, Air, Earth, and Lightning—were used for elemental training. Students could fine-tune their control over their chosen elements within these specialized facilities.

**Dormitory Complex:** This area housed the students' accommodations. The dormitories were separated by gender and divided into different classes, with senior students having more spacious and comfortable living quarters.

**Cafeterias and Shops:** Various dining halls and shops offered food, supplies, and equipment for students. The cuisines ranged from local delicacies to exotic dishes.

**Chapel of Ascendance:** The academy's spiritual center, where students could engage in meditation, prayer, and spiritual activities. It was a place of reflection and inner peace.

The Chakra Energy in the area was so abundant that one could see the visible balls if energy floating around them.

The village chief explained, "Your time at Celestial Peak Academy will span six years, during which you'll undergo a systematic scholarly and martial disciplines. The academy values the development of well-rounded individuals who can contribute to the betterment of our world."

Kaito nodded, absorbing the information. The academy was a massive institution, and he realized that his journey was not just about mastering Chakra manipulation but also about broadening his knowledge and skills.

"Remember Kaito. Maximise every opportunity you can come across during your time here. There would be numerous auxiliary paths you can learn to keep yourself occupied when you get bored of reading."

"I don't get bored of reading." Kaito told the man.

"Haha. Of course you don't, but you can never learn enough. Everyone who has graduated from this academy has gone out to make a name for themselves in the nation..." Isamu said, looking at the Academy gates with both admiration and envy.

Shaking his head, the village chief brought Kaito to the entrance of the academy, where a grand gate marked the boundary between Azurebloom and Celestial Peak Academy.

"The journey you're embarking on is one of growth and only you alone can walk it, we from Veridan Haven have done all we can, the rest is up to you now." the chief said, his voice filled with sincerity. "Remember your roots in Veridian Haven, and carry the teachings of your village with you. But also be open to the new experiences that await you here."

Kaito nodded as he looked at the towering gate with a mixture of excitement and determination. He knew that the path ahead would be challenging, but it was a challenge he was ready to embrace.

With a final nod to the village chief, Kaito stepped through the academy's gates and into a new chapter of his life.
