Chapter Fifteen: The Choice of Profession
At the actual age of thirty, Qin Lan was mentally resistant to the fact that she would have to go back to school again... However, since she had already decided to strive and make a name for herself in this other world, she naturally couldn't remain completely ignorant of it. In the end, Qin Lan gritted her teeth and nodded. It's just going to school, anyway; staying at home would be playing games too. Going there, if there's something to learn, that's best; if not, she could still enter the game to pass the time.
But things were far more complicated than he had imagined.
The original Qin Lan lived in the Qin Mansion for 16 years, almost never leaving the mansion, and his existence was deliberately ignored. The most outstanding and famous members of the Qin family were the twin sisters Qin Jin and Qin Yu, who were naturally popular among their peers due to their beauty. However, this time Qin Lan suddenly turned over, not only becoming the master of the Qin Mansion, but also the three sisters of the Qin family fell one after another, and the imperial capital posted wanted notices for them everywhere.
The reason for this, of course, cannot be explained to outsiders, so while the masses were confused, they also inexplicably developed a slight dislike for Qin Lan. After all, girls are generally on the weaker side. This was even more evident among peers, so when Qin Lan first arrived at the legendary academy in another world, she was met with countless eyes filled with hostility.
Qin Lan's tolerance was quite good, and at the psychological age of 30, he wouldn't bother with these little kids. Xinglan Academy was named after the Xinglan Empire, which had invested a lot of manpower, material resources, and money in it. Therefore, among the many academies on the Mutu Continent, although Xinglan Academy was not ranked first, it was still an excellent existence in the top ten.
It's not difficult to enter this college. Children of suitable age from the Imperial Capital and its surrounding areas only need to pass a simple assessment to further their studies at the college. If they have exceptional talent, the college may even waive tuition fees or provide sponsorship. This is also why Qin Nanchen just made a phone call and Qin Lan was able to enroll. However, it's much harder to graduate from the college. All colleges on the Pastoral Continent are the same - easy to enter but hard to leave. There are no grades or departments within the college; it's just one big entity, and all students who enroll are classmates.
Each new student must choose a major and a minor when they first enroll. For example, if you choose warrior as your major, you can also choose a minor profession such as mage, priest, sacrificer, archer... it's up to you, whatever you want to choose is fine. Moreover, there are no restrictions on what courses you can take within the academy. Even if your major is warrior and your minor is gatherer, you can still go to the mage tower every day to learn magic...
That means you can study any course you're interested in at the academy, and no one will be dissatisfied with you, even if you don't attend classes. As long as your major and minor subjects meet the standards recognized by the academy in the annual final exams, you can smoothly mix and play for four years and then graduate easily. On the other hand, if you fail to meet the requirements, you'll have to stay at the academy forever, and if you never meet the standards, you'll never be able to graduate. It's not just that you can't graduate; many people take their time and slowly mix in, which is also a good choice. However, the substantial tuition fees every year will definitely make people feel painful. Those students who receive financial aid or have reduced tuition fees may lose their qualifications if they fail to meet the standards in the annual exams, thus losing their eligibility to study at the academy.
Qin Lan was currently staring blankly at the wall full of course selections... Who said that a different world was just simple and weak civilization? The unique geographical environment and special survival concept, constructed the glorious thousands of years of human beings on the Pastoral Continent. Why can humans dominate the continent? What do they use to occupy the most fertile central land of the continent under the hands of many powerful alien races? It relies on learning, it relies on creation, it relies on precise and detailed occupations that include everything!
The Moutou continent is home to many alien species, and the so-called alien species are non-human intelligent species that coexist with humans on the Moutou continent. The most typical ones are the Elf tribe, the Beastman tribe, the Dwarf tribe, the Gothics tribe, the Sea tribe, and some high-intelligent life forms represented by the Dragon tribe.
In the historical records of the mainland, God created many ethnic groups, and humans were his last masterpiece. Although humans did not have the various magical and powerful abilities like other ethnic groups, humans had a unique gift that even God was proud of, which is learning and creation. When humans appeared, the mainland was still under the rule of the elves, who possessed strong magical powers that allowed them to defeat the beastmen's attacks countless times, holding onto the continent's hegemony. The appearance of weak and fragile humans triggered a burst of laughter from many powerful ethnic groups... However, humans learned martial arts from the beastmen, humans learned magic from the elves, and humans learned forging from the dwarves...
After several thousand years, the elves were driven by humans to hide in the vast forest sea in the southwest of the mainland. The beastmen were exiled to the barren and desolate Aiermo Plateau in the northwest of the mainland. The dwarves had long been hiding in the Mowu Mountains, which were frozen for a long time at the northernmost part of the mainland. Even the dragon clan, which was strong and long-lived, was forced to migrate from the Dragon Valley and find a desolate island in the Star Sea to settle down. Only the sea tribe lived on the seabed, and the Gottes tribe lived on floating islands in the sky. They were lucky enough not to have the conditions to compete for the right to rule the mainland, so they escaped and the mainland's hegemony was thus grasped by humans.
But it's not like the orcs just gave up, the exiled beastmen suffered from poverty and hunger, they were always eyeing the rich lands in the middle of the continent, waiting for an opportunity to swarm out, for the survival and prosperity of their race, the beastmen had always been reckless, the fortresses on the border between humans and orcs and the surrounding mountains were the only blood-red land on the continent, with red all over the mountains and the countless skeletons that could never be cleaned up, making it a paradise for the undead.
Even the Elf tribe has always wanted to regain the mainland's dominance and let the glory of the Elf Goddess fill the mainland.
So, although humans have gained dominance over the continent, crises still exist at all times. In this world where crisis and challenge coexist, fighting is the main melody, and the combat occupations that have evolved from it have become a large net covering the entire population.
That's why the academy requires everyone to choose a main profession and a secondary one. When battle comes, everyone picks up their weapons and becomes a warrior who can protect their home!!
