Why should he go to some academy? I do not undestood why every author have to have school arc. Academy is for people to study there or in fantasy to get resourcers. MC have all knwolege he need and to cultivete he need minerals which he cant get in academy. So he should make some organization or travel and get rare minarals. And if you must go to agademy than go there to make some political conection.
