2 2-Getting to Know Fenix Academy
Oton is a small town located on a hillside in the east of the kingdom, surrounded by dense forest. With about 30,000 inhabitants, it is considered small
Oton's narrow, winding streets are paved with cobblestones and surrounded by stone and wooden houses, . The center of town is dominated by the imposing Phoenix Magic Academy, with its red spiers towering over the city's rooftops.
In addition to the magic academy the city is also known for its old red fortified walls, which still surround the old city of oton.
Oton once had its glory, this small town is older than the kingdom of Poland itself and this is due to the ancient phoenix magic academy, the magic academy is so old that its history spans millennia
But over time the strength of the academy weakened so much that it reached the point of being privatized and finally came into the hands of the Silvermoon family, but the family of dukes did not care much about this place
No wonder this old academy now only has a single bronze mage and two bronze knights, no noble son wants to study in such a weak place and by nature the few students are children of commoners and the academy's income is worse than a brothel
the city and the academy of magic were not included in the debt of the debt, as it is in Cedric's mother's name and is her wedding dowry
Today this small town was bustling, several carriages entered the town and soon word spread that Cedric and the Silvermoon family had arrived.
The popularity of the Silvermoon family is still good, after all, no Silvermoon has stupidly raised taxes to exploit the people despite all the debts.

Oton's old mansion
soon Cedric and his family began to move into this old mansion, although it was big it didn't even come close to the old duke's palace
In addition to Cedric and Felicia, there is also a pair of 10-year-old twins in the family, Ferdinand and Anne Silvermoon, these two were the last gift from Cedric's father before leaving the family 10 years ago.
It is because of these two that Cedric sold everything not to owe, if the bear kingdom breached the border and along with the family's massive debts then the entire Silvermoon family would be killed or enslaved.
The kingdom of Poland is not a kingdom of extreme slaves, it is forbidden to enslave people by force but with debtors it is the last alternative.
That's why it's important to keep the noble title, your nobility is recognized in any human territory, although a duke of a kingdom is lower than a baron of an empire, it is still a better status than a civilian
Cedric left the rest to his mother Felicia, and then left to visit the magic academy.
He now deposits the chance to rise in this academy, he is a talented mage and at the age of 20 he is a bronze level water mage
and that with few resources since he couldn't spend much on elixir and mana cores, he believes he can reach the silver level at 30 years
--------------
The Fenix Academy is made with red marble, although it is old and still imposing.
Cedric arrived at the gate and found an old man in red robes and 2 other old men in red armor.
Silas Oderberg the bronze wizard current dean of the academy, Hugo and Boris the two bronze knights
"my lord" Silas and others
The fenix academy teaches magic for magicians and aura for knights, to become a magician you have to be born with a magic core which is rare but to be a knight everyone can and that's why it's much more popular
Although everyone can become a knight that doesn't mean there aren't more talented people, body genetics greatly influence progress and low talent people are always stuck at the iron knight level
what differentiates a knight from a common mortal is the activation of aura, aura can also be called Ki or Qi in other cultures, to activate it takes a lot of physical training and books on breathing techniques
Cedric greeted his team and began to explore the academy.
The grand main hall, which in its heyday was adorned with colorful stained-glass windows and beautiful tapestries, is now a huge, bare, empty space. Tables and chairs that used to be made of elven wood are now common wood made by cheap craftsmen
The academy's vast library, once home to thousands of rare and antique books, now has only a few nearly empty shelves and a few worn tables. Students scour the remaining shelves for any knowledge that might help them hone their powers.
In the hallways, the walls are peeling and the floors are worn. Classrooms, which used to be well equipped, now only have a blackboard and a few broken desks. Dorms are small and cramped, with multiple beds stacked in each room.
The 12 magical towers of the academy that once belonged to the great teachers are now abandoned, because a long time ago they lost the magic crystal that gathered the mana in the towers.
The large aviary is a huge breeding space for magical birds in the academy, Cedric remembers reading that there used to be live phoenixes here.
But nowadays there are only a few carrier pigeons
In the gym maybe the only place, thank goodness after all it's just a big open space, Cedric saw 30 students running and training the body
There are still a few locations in the academy's basement, but they were all closed due to the cost of maintenance so Cedric left it to see later.
Finally, he arrived at the dean's office, a room nearly 50 meters
he arrived at the dean's office, a 50-meter room with peeling walls and worn furniture. The room is lit up through beautiful windows that look out over virtually the entire Phoenix academy.
In the office, there was nothing to draw attention to besides the rug on the floor, in the center of the room, there is a faded rug with the coat of arms of the Phoenix Academy embroidered, but it no longer shines as it used to.
On the way Cedric learned more about the numbers that mattered, the Phoenix Academy currently has 8 teachers, Silas and another iron level mage teach magic and Hugo and Boris along with 4 iron knights teach the art of knights
In addition, there are 30 other professionals who do work such as cooking, cleaning and managing
Currently there are 205 students, 18 magic students and the rest all knights.
annual income usually ranges from 10,000 to 12,000 gold coins, a very low amount
Of these 205 students, only 3 are from the nobility, children of barons with little inheritance of books who cannot learn at home
Cedric walked over to the dean's chair, it was a strange wooden chair with a cushion, he sat down
as he sat down a message went off in his head
*Host activated system condition, universe's strongest magic academy system is activated*
