Chapter 72: My five months in the academy (1)
Before I knew it, the first semester went by. Nothing big happened in these five months.
Every week, one day was for the classes that were held for the entirety of Class 1-A. Another day for training with Angela. Except for these two days, I spent all other days either in training or in the library.
There is a lot of knowledge that is available here in the academy's library.
Unlike the outside world, where knowledge is restricted based on your rank, the restrictions here are much less. Except for some forbidden and classified information, almost everything is available to the students irrespective of their ranks or year of study.
Almost 70% of the students who graduate from the Royal Academy have the potential to reach Tier-5 and above unless something unexpected happens to them. So the academies are allowed to let the students know the knowledge beforehand, but they shouldn't spread the information.
This was so because a lot of the information could cause mass hysteria among the population. If these kinds of knowledge leak, there are many evil people who can use this knowledge to cause more damage to society than good.
Even with a lot of restrictions, there are many problems that arise. If this knowledge was added, they it would reach a point that would be uncontrollable. So there are a lot of restrictions placed on knowledge.

Coming to the academy is the best choice, rather than hunting and leveling up in the wilds.
Let me show you what I gained from the training in these five months and you can understand the reason.

There are many changes in my status panel. First of all, the attribute values of STR, STA, AGI, and DEX improved. This was due to my physique. I had a lot of healthy and nutritious food, far richer than what I used to have in my house.
As my attribute values increased, the increase in attributes reduced if I ate lesser-category foods. As time went on, in order to improve, I could only eat higher-category foods in order to increased their value.
It was not just in attributes but there are many changes that appeared in my skills and Arts.
Angela didn't teach me any defense arts or fighting arts. This was because she believed that my strength was still too low and I have better chances of surviving if I escape in such situations rather than fighting.
She also advised me to learn the skill called Parry. It wasn't exactly a defense skill, more live a divert skill. Instead of taking a shot head-on, it was best to guide it away. in this way, the damage received would be less and the consumption of energy would also be less.
This would help to last long in a battle and also have extra energy to escape if wining is not in the cards. So she insisted on training me in this way. This was good for me, so I didn't refuse her though I wouldn't get any chances of having intimate contact with her.

The training yielded in these past five months yielded me a lot of good results. From ANgela I learned Movement Arts which I was able to train to Basic Lvl. 6. Due to her recommendation, I learned the skill Parry, which was only increased to Lvl. 2.
My Staff Arts has improved and reached Advanced Lvl. 1 stage. Due to me concentrating more on these Parry didn't improve much, which I should concentrate on in the next five months before the secret realm passage opens.
There are a lot of skills improved. My refined skill, Shadow Bolt Volley improved by levels. In addition to this my Night Vision and also Spatial Storage improved by three levels.
Evade, Dodge, Sprint, Tag & Track, and Mind Control have improved their skill levels by two levels.
My Mind Probe and Sexual Stamina only increased by a level because I couldn't concentrate on them. Of all these Sexual Staima could easily be increased as long as I have sex but with too much training, my mind would be exhausted and there wasn't much time to indulge in those acts.
Moreover, Inari spent most of her time searching for a way back home in the books that I brought from the library.
The major improvement I made in these five months was Scent Recognition. It improved by four levels. There were too many people and monsters that I came into contact with on a daily basis. So it was rather easy to improve that skill.
Coming to resistances, both Fire and Water Resistances has increased by three levels. This means that minor fire or water attacks would have no effect on me anymore.
Due to training and dungeon grinding, both Space and Physical Resistance improved by one level. If I was at a low physical resistance level, maybe it would have improved by a lot but that was not the case.
Such improvements can't be obtained easily in the wild. Moreover, the chances of losing life without proper training are high. So training in academies is better to not only survive longer but also to reach greater heights in the future.
