Summoned and Unwanted

A beam of light suddenly appeared on the stage, and Darwin became visible when the light faded. The stage might have an emergency arrival point only Darwin currently uses to test if it works. It will be suicidal to teleport to the current public use arrival point if the volcano of Paradise Island becomes active one day.

“Students, gather in front of the stage to hear our esteemed headmaster.” A man wearing luxurious attire said.

Beside the man were many others wearing luxurious formal attire. They could be teachers of different years since only the students and teachers wore luxurious attires. However, Biro and Ton weren’t among these people.

Maria and Ming Xiao Fan looked at Darwin and saw him nod. Both homeroom teachers gathered their class in front of the stage. Later, both went on the stage and went near the handful of possible teachers.

Darwin thanked the man with a slightly irritated frown and added the word teacher at the beginning of his name.

Darwin then looked at the hundred first-year students and explained a couple of rules and some information regarding the test, which will take place on October first and end on the morning of October eighth.

First, Darwin explicitly explained how no student, their servant, or familiar was allowed to bully or threaten the residents of this island. No matter if the resident is a slave or a commoner, the law of this island will not change favorability based on the status of the accused or victim.

Furthermore, depending on the severity, the student could face a ban to teleport to the island up to being kicked out of the academy and bringing shame to their families. As every action has a consequence, if the student is kicked out of the academy and has siblings, their favorability to become the heir of their family will decrease greatly.

.....

In the worst-case scenario, the student might even have their applications rejected for up to five years. It would mean the student would end up living five years as a minor noble even if their family is at the top ranks.

After the warning was declared, Darwin mentioned how after his speech was over, their respective homeroom teachers will take them to their team’s small house, where they would be able to rest there from Saturday morning until Sunday evening.

Every student must return before Sunday at midnight, or their academy student card will become unusable. Depending on their excuse’s creativity, they will need to pay a fee.

Darwin laughed after he said the word creativity. It might mean that this situation happened a lot, and he might be looking forward to what interesting excuses the students invent.

The third point of his announcement was about the coin road.

If a student wanted to sell objects they make, a variety of different kinds of products, or services such as object enchantment, they would need to pay a small fee and disclose what they planned to offer. Afterward, they would be given a permit that would last for one academic year.

Furthermore, students were allowed to work as assistants of other students or island residents and receive payment in coins or products.

“The rules of Paradise Island must not be forgotten.” Darwin reminded with a serious expression.

The last subject of the announcement was about their test. All the first-year students will need to gather at the announcement area, the same place they went to at eight o’clock in the morning. Their academy student card will notify them of the time, as it notified them this morning.

The students had three weeks to prepare for the test. Additionally, they weren’t allowed to bring their servants or their familiars to aid them in this test.

Unlike Vincent and Lilith, who were allowed to leave the academy every Sunday, the student’s only way to buy supplies such as extra food or equipment would be the coin road. In a way, the island residents had a way to make money instead of being overly dependent on the Griffionheart family.

Moreover, unlike Vincent, who can store dozens upon dozens of objects in his Soul Dimensional Storage, and they would almost remain in stasis, the students could only depend on bags of holding. Their way of storage not only had a space limit, but the food could rot as there isn’t a time difference.

“Now, before I end the announcement, going deep in the forest is forbidden for safety reasons.” Darwin looked, moved his gaze from left to right, and continued with a stern voice, “I hope no one decides to cheat by scouting the forest or creating a shelter beforehand.”

Darwin noticed the expressions he expected to see. A few of the students had already thought of preparing a suitable location before the test started. Now, their only way to cheat was discovered.

“With that last bit of information in the first-year hands, I will leave the Class A and Class B homeroom teachers to lead the students to their resting house. ” Darwin said.

Maria and Ming Xiao Fan ordered the students to follow them. Later, team after the other, all of the students entered their Saturday and Sunday island resting home.

Jun Ye Rim left quickly left as if she wanted to go somewhere. Vincent, Lilith, Nick, and Clair questioned why the loner elf spent about a minute before she left.

Vincent shrugged his shoulders and decided to check the place out. The living room had two three-person seat couches and five single-person seat comfy sofas. There was also a small kitchen, a bathroom, and after going upstairs, the two large rooms had three beds each. Between the two rooms, there was a spare bed.

Nick and Clair went to bring Vivid and Pussy over to spend the night on Paradise Island. On the other hand, Vincent and Lilith decided to tour the coin road and bring the others next time.

Vincent and Lilith went on a date on the coin road. As time passed, more and more students opened their stands. However, none could compete with the villagers as the preparation and services they provided were top-notch.

There was food such as fruits and cooked takeaway food. There were also small restaurants where the customers could eat in high-quality tents.

One tent stood out of the rest as it was more of a pavilion than a large tent. As expected, many students were entering for a meal.

Vincent saw a stand prepared by a student of a different year. He was selling a fragment of a small wind magic core. It was possibly of a great gray wolf.

The fragment was about one-tenth of its original size. After asking about the price, Vincent, Kazumi, and Lilith became shocked. The fragment’s asking price was five silver, fifty silver for a complete magic core. Furthermore, after Vincent checked its quality, it was at stage four.

“Vincent. I don’t think this is the actual price of that small fragment. I don’t know the prices, but I think a reasonable price between two silver to three silver.” Lilith whispered. Still, the price wasn’t low.

Vincent and Kazumi felt the same about the price sounding a bit too high. Adventurers would become wealthy if magic cores cost fifty silver coins a piece. Not to mention the body of the slain beast. Moreover, Vincent has a couple of magic cores in his possession. He could become rich if he sold them at this level of price.

Soon, another shop caught Vincent’s eye. It was a large wagon with a wooden room built instead of the draped tent. A large window was on the side, and a woman was selling bottles like hotcakes. It gave the same vibes as an icecream truck.

On the long windowsills were bottles of potions with different colores and price tags on them. Vincent focused his gaze and took a peek.

The potions were all of the minor category. Nevertheless, they didn’t look like low-quality potions because their duration and buffs could be stacked at the cost of going home with an empty wallet.

The person responsible for making the potions might be a professional. Furthermore, based on the shop’s quality and how it was prepared in a way that students couldn’t, the person must be a resident of Paradise Island.

Moreover, the man has a surname which begged the question if he was a noble running from someone, and Darwin gave him a safe place to live under his protection.
