Now that I could relax a bit, I decided to observe my surroundings.
Just like the conductor had said, there are many students on board.
As there are a lot of exchange students all year round, about 20% of the Tempest Airline’s customers were students.
The system of getting exchange students started after the thought of reviving the three academies by taking in each other’s good parts.
After all, education policy in each of the academies differ from each other, so I decided it would be best to have this exchange in order to broaden one’s outlook.
At the Tempest Human Resource Development Academy, we have the curriculum of training one’s mental and physical condition, on top of education, to make them into an immediate asset.
It seems that in the Ingracia Synthesis Academy they are teaching the culture, social etiquettes of nobles and economics on top of the general education programs this world had before.
At NNU Magic and Science Investigation Academy, they are mainly focusing on research and investigating fusing other worlds’ science with magic to create new techniques everyday. It is a famous but strict academy which requires a high level of talent from the students and evicts anyone who is deemed talentless.
The reason Mai is affiliated with this academy is because it develops the most cutting edge tech officially. But in reality, the actual cutting edge tech is being developed deep within the labyrinth but only an extremely small number of people know of it.
Now then, these are the three academies at this point but what most of them generally do is learn the basics from Ingracia kingdom and then transfer to any of the other academies which suit them.
If you want to train yourself and be of use to the world, you go to Tempest.
If you want to deepen your knowledge about a particular field, you go to NNU.
If you want to use human resources and bear the responsibility of making living harmonious for the people, you stay in Ingracia.
To be honest, there is no age limit when it comes to getting admitted to NNU or Tempest but only the talented people can get in. The reason for this was simple-if they don’t have the required talent, they simply can’t follow the lectures.
This is why I came up with the exchange student system.
With this, you can experience each of the academies before deciding about your future.
The other reason behind the exchange student system is to readmit the students who can’t keep up with the lectures of Tempest or NNU back to Ingracia Academy.
It is all up to the students, whether they want to get better or stay down.
If they work hard and actually do get better, they can get admitted to Tempest once again.
But if they were to stay down, that is as far they go.
There’s the repeating a grade system in Ingracia’s academy but only up to two times.
It is because the country bears all the education cost, students who don’t have any will to study are expelled.
Although there were no superiority between the academies once a student graduates, it is generally acknowledged that the Tempest graduates are well-built in physique and the NNU were the brains.
And based on that, it was generally accepted by the public that graduating from Ingracia’s academy was easier.
And because of these reasons, the planes are used pretty much every month by students to move between Ingracia and Tempest.
