Chapter 489: Chapter 290: Canaan Academy Special Admission Student

The Imperial Canaan Academy is a well-known institution among any nobility ranking above a Count within the Kingdom, being one of only two top academies on the entire continent.

Whether as a child or now as he stands before it, Thor has heard many legends about it.

Not to mention, that one individual, Neil Morton, seems to be a lecturer at the Imperial Canaan Academy.

Being able to join Canaan Academy, even just as a student, is something countless nobles dream of, since joining the Imperial Canaan Academy guarantees a bright future, and possibly the chance to step out of the Kingdom and into the Empire.

Such an opportunity is something even the Three Great Dukes, let alone the Royal Family of each Kingdom, would not willingly forsake.

However, entering the Imperial Canaan Academy, even as an ordinary student, is extremely challenging.

The Royal Family of each Kingdom only has a fixed number of spots.

As for other nobility, the threshold to enter is like an insurmountable chasm.

In the entire Tulip Kingdom, aside from the Tulip Royal Family, there are currently less than three individuals with a real chance to join Canaan Academy.

This is in the relatively strong Tulip Kingdom, if it were an ordinary Kingdom, securing even one spot would be nearly impossible.

As a multitude of gazes converged, Thor’s heart was also stirred somewhat.

But soon, he shook his head.

"Apologies, Lecturer Carol, you might not be aware yet, I have now become the Pioneer Lord of the Northern Territory of the Tulip Kingdom, I fear it’s difficult for me to leave."

He spoke softly.

The content he spoke surprised everyone.

The Three Great Dukes couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

Count Engel instinctively wanted to speak, but the words did not escape his lips.

He knew his son had a strong sense of autonomy; these decisions were not his to make.

And as for these reactions, Thor was not overly concerned.

To others, entering the Empire is undoubtedly the best choice, surely offering a chance for greater success, or to step out of the Kingdom, truly into the wider world.

And it could potentially elevate his limits further.

Within the Kingdom, one can usually only reach the Holy Sanctuary, going further is almost impossible, but within the Empire, even in Canaan Academy, the Divine Domain is not scarce.

Lecturers are typically at Sky Knight Peak, and even at the Holy Sanctuary level, while mentors start within the Divine Domain, with many in that domain.

The legend has it that the headmaster of Canaan Academy transcends the High-tier Divine Domain.

For an ordinary person, it’s truly an opportunity.

But that’s only true for ordinary people; for Thor, these things are not so necessary.

With a daily intelligence system at his disposal, he fully has the opportunity to climb step by step on his own.

More importantly, he cannot abandon his own territory and his people.

They have all risen with him step by step.

His expression bore an apology.

And listening to Thor’s words, Carol couldn’t help but be slightly taken aback.

Soon he understood.

"No, no, you misunderstood, Canaan Academy is not the same as the Kingdom Academy!"

He chuckled as he spoke.

"Different?"

Thor was momentarily stunned and instinctively spoke.

"Yes, students at Canaan Academy are different, they do not need to remain at the school constantly, nor is Canaan Academy located in the Imperial Capital."

Carol spoke with a smile.

But hearing these words, Thor couldn’t help but be more puzzled, unable to immediately react.

"How about this, if you agree, I can apply for a special recruitment spot for you at Canaan Academy today."

"Rest assured, you do not need to leave your territory."

Carol spoke again, offering additional information to Thor.

"This!"

These reaffirming words, though Thor still didn’t fully understand, led him to fall into contemplation.

If he didn’t have to leave his territory, then joining Canaan Academy didn’t seem like something unacceptable.

At the very least, aside from other aspects, the opportunities on a broader platform would undoubtedly be greater, and the intelligence he could gather daily would provide more gains.

Though the Canaan Academy lecturer, Neil Morton, came to his mind again.

That individual also seemed to be a lecturer at Canaan Academy.

But it seemed he had never discussed this aspect before.

Thor pondered, and those around him became somewhat tense.

Carol, however, remained silent.

He simply waited.

As time passed slowly, countless thoughts interwove.

After a long while.

"Phew!"

Thor exhaled a deep breath and looked at Carol.

"I can agree."

"But Lecturer Carol, what do I need to do to enter the academy?"

Thor asked, his gaze carrying a touch of humility as he looked at Carol.

He had just thought through many things, but with no need to leave his territory, he saw no reason to refuse. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

But there were some aspects he still needed to clarify.

"You don’t need to do anything!"

"However, you have missed the Imperial enrollment time, so you can only enter through special recruitment, and only by passing the special recruitment examination will you truly become a student at Canaan Academy."

"This is for you, I will apply for you today, the examination usually occurs within a month, and by then, the Kingdom War should have ended."

Carol nodded and explained to Thor before tossing over a badge.
