My System Academy-Chapter 41 Unlocked Additional System Functions

The people led by Magister Amos hurried to Elder Flock.

The old man was breathing haggardly, fear present in his eyes.

"Elder Flock, what happened? Did that young man betray you?", Magister Jaggos worriedly asked.

"No, I was the one who betrayed myself.", Elder Flock replied.

His words confused the others. What sort of self-betrayal did he commit? And how would that happen in the first place?

"Magister Amos, you are in charge of the next Vortex Ascendancy, right?", Elder Flock asked.

"Uh, yes, Elder Flock, but what's the matter?", Magister Amos gulped.

"Heavenly Magic Academy."

Elder Flock stood up and dusted his robe. This made them confused even further, thinking that Elder Flock must have lost his mind and was unable to come up with complete sentences.

Despite their reactions, Elder Flock smiled and left the area.

"Elder Flock, where are you going? What about the Heavenly Magic Academy and the Vortex Ascendancy? Also, should we tell the Tower fully about this incident?", Magister Amos asked.

They argued about telling the academy's existence in front of the other elders and magisters but decided to wait for Elder Flock's jurisdiction on the matter.

"No, I won't be returning for now, and it's best if you do not tell them so. Keep this a secret, Magister Amos. Also, set up a defensive array formation around this area. Do not let anyone else get close to that teleportation. Not even the Magi Elder himself. Tell them Dartex destroyed it and is currently on reparation.", Elder Flock advised before vanishing out of their sights.

…

A day later.

Heavenly Magic Academy.

Eluard sat on his high chair, patiently waiting for the system to give out his rewards.

[ Special Task: Shopping Spree Completed. Optional Requirements Met. ]

[ … ]

[ Received: Crude Lightning Ball x1 (Rare), Divine Stellar Fruit (Epic) x1 ]

[ Congratulations host, for completing this task. You have received a new achievement, Hunter and Seller. ]

[ After deliberate consideration, you have unlocked additional system functions after completing the task. ]

[ The Shop tab is now open for your browsing. The system offers daily, monthly, and yearly items available for purchase using two sets of currency, magical currency, and your personal achievement points. ]

[ The personal achievement points are earned after completing specific special tasks (unlabeled), completing the main tasks, and other hidden achievements. ]

[ You currently have 400 personal achievements points. You can view your achievements on the Achievements tab. ]

'Holy shit, system! So completing tasks can yield such results too? What is this? Hidden rewards or something?'

Eluard didn't expect that he would be able to unlock additional system functions by completing a special task. It seems that there were more than the listed rewards of a particular task.

The system didn't answer his inquiries and continued.

[ Merchant Tab is now open, allowing the host to include merchants in the academy for trading items. This does not affect the Shop tab solely created by the system for the host, though the host can still participate in trading items here. ]

[ Merchants can either be invited from the worlds, or created through the character creation function. ]

'Character creation function? What's this?', Eluard asked. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

[ Character creation function will be unlocked once you advance to the adept wizard level. ], the system continued.

[ Merchants from the character creation sell common items. You can unlock higher item rarities by upgrading the commercial district to specific levels. Please see the Merchant tab for more information. ]

[ The stalls are located east of the academy's grounds, inside the commercial district with a base area of 10 square meters. You can expand the area by expending academy achievement points. ]

[ Academy achievement points are earned whenever any student or staff who are part of the academy completes tasks assigned by you or by the system and participating in major events. ]

[ You currently have 779 academy achievement points. The logs can be seen on the academy achievement logs under the Achievements tab. ]

[ Please note that the maximum number of merchants allowed is currently limited to 3. Continue to work hard and unlock more slots by expending academy achievement points. ]

[ Merchants are only limited within the commercial district. Any violation of this rule will result in a permanent ban and a complete memory wipe of the violator. ]

The amount of information the system displayed made Eluard's mind go tipsy.

He then caressed his chin, thinking of inviting that merchant he met back on the Alderian Terrestrial Sanctuary.

'Will it be worth it?', he thought.

Maybe Aurpiel could relieve the boredom of sparseness in the academy while trading goods from Aludia to the academy through his students.

'System, shouldn't an academy have their sources of income as well? It shouldn't be all kill and harvest, right?'

[ These functions are currently locked. Continue to work hard, host. ], the system replied.

Eluard snorted, 'As expected.', though he was intrigued that there were locked functions for him to use later. He wondered what they were and how special they would be.

Just the character creation function itself was godly. If it was like the character creation stuff from the games back on earth, then he was in luck.

He then went back to the thought of inviting Aurpiel to the academy.

Traveling merchants had their charms and specialties. If he was lucky, he might be able to come upon a rare or epic item from them.

After all, the world of Aludia was large. Who knows what sort of strange things people would encounter outside?

'I still have two slots remaining for that anyway. It wouldn't hurt for me or him, would it?'

The only problem left was the method to make it look like Aurpiel was the one trying to get inside the academy instead.

Eluard shook his head and forgo the thought for now. He looked at the two items he received.

[ Crude Lightning Ball (Rare) ]

[ A specially crafted ball made of pure lightning. It contains the essence of lightning and can help the user in increasing their affinity with lightning, alongside the increase of power and potency of lightning spells. ]

[ Additional Note: Can only be used by users with innate lightning affinity. ]

[ Additional Note: Can only be used ten times for each user with decreased efficiency on each additional consumption. ]

'Oh? Olivia can make use of this. She's the only lightning user here for now.'

Eluard set up a plan to start another round of tasks for his students. He has been wondering how to establish forces in the academy after witnessing the might of the League of Wizardry.

[ Divine Stellar Fruit (Epic) ]

[ A fruit made from the essence of stars mixed with the divine essence of the gods. It is particularly helpful for users who have acquired divinity, increasing the overall attributes of their magic roots, and the power of their spells. ]

[ Additional Note: Can only be used by users with a divine magic root. ]

[ Additional Note: Can only be consumed three times with decreased efficiency on each additional consumption. ]

'A tailor-made reward for me. Ah, system, I like you so much.', Eluard complimented in hopes of getting more bountiful rewards next time.

As for the Special Task: Uninvited Guests, he has yet to complete its optional requirement of reforming Dartex into a good guy.

[ Administering new tasks. Please wait for a moment. ]

'What? I was just thinking of this guy and now you're giving me another set of special tasks?', Eluard was at a loss.
