"Of course....you will be expelled from the academy," said Mr. Alan.
"Expelled from the academy?!?!?!," said another student.
"In addition to minus points, there are other conditions that can cause you to be expelled. For example, you are already in your second year and have already received a silver badge. To move up to the third year at the end of the semester you need a gold badge. If at the end of the semester your badge is still silver, then you will remain in the second year the following year. But if your badge drops to a bronze badge because you continue to experience point deductions that make your points below 30,000 even though you are already in the second year. If this condition continues and you still get a bronze badge at the end of the second semester, then you will be immediately expelled at the end of the semester. This condition can also occur in the third or fourth year," said Mr. Alan.
Most students who heard about it immediately panicked. Especially after knowing that daily matches are something that is mandatory at the academy. Every student must compete once a day with someone they choose or who is chosen by the academy.
"Mr. Alan, I want to ask. Is it possible for us to fight our seniors who are in the previous year in the daily match?," asked one of the students.
"If you already have an agreement to compete with the senior you choose then it is allowed. But if your opponent is chosen by the academy and not you yourself, usually the academy will find an opponent in the same year as you. So it is unlikely that you will get a senior opponent if your opponent is chosen from the academy. For seniors also get opponents that match their year, it is unlikely that they get their junior opponents. Moreover, most of your seniors will not want to fight juniors because the points obtained for winning against juniors are smaller than the points if you win against the same year or against the senior above them," said Mr. Alan.
"I will write on the board about the points you will get if you win or lose in this match when fighting against the same year or your senior. You may also note it down as your reference," said Mr. Alan.
Then Mr. Alan began to write on the board.

"Now these are the points you will get in the daily match. Please note it down for your reference," said Mr. Alan.
We also noted the explanation of the points.
"The more senior students we face and if we win then the additional points are bigger. Even winning against a fourth year can get 1000 points,"
"Yes that's true, but the big points are also because the level of difficulty will be difficult too. Can you beat a fourth year student?," said the students who were chatting with each other.
"You are right, the amount of points you get from fighting your seniors is proportional to the difficulty. Your seniors have gained knowledge and skills that exceed your first years. So it won't be easy to beat them. But it won't be easy to invite your seniors to compete. Because as you can see, the points your seniors get if they fight you are less. So don't expect too much to be able to compete against your seniors. It's better for you to focus on competing with students who are in the same year as you," said Mr. Alan.
"Although it's called a daily match and you have to compete once a day, this daily match is only held during the academy's study days, namely Monday to Friday. And this match is also canceled if at that time there is an exam, festival or tournament," continued Mr. Alan.
"There is also a festival in this academy? I thought this academy only focused on studying and competing," said Noa.
"Yes, of course there is, aren't you bored if this academy only focuses on studying and competing? I, as a teacher, feel bored. That's why this academy holds a festival every year. Usually the festival at the academy is held in May after the annual tournament takes place. 'Elevrad' is the one who prepares the theme for the festival and tournament at this academy every year," said Mr. Alan.
"'Elevrad' ?," asked one of the students.
"'Elevrad' is the name of the student committee in this academy. The committee is filled with talented students from the first year to the fourth year. They are tasked with helping the academy in doing the administration of this academy. Usually during festivals and tournaments, they make proposals to be addressed to Her Majesty the Queen so that they can help fund the festival and tournament," said Mr. Alan.
"I understand that festivals need funds to be lively but why do tournaments also need funds? Isn't it just a matter of fighting?," asked Noa.
"Of course funds are needed for prizes for the winners of the tournament," said Mr. Alan.
"So the winners of the tournament will get prizes?," asked Noa.
"Do you think the tournament is held just to determine who is the strongest in this academy without getting anything? Of course there are prizes. Usually the first, second and third place winners will get a lot of Larx for each tournament category. In addition, the winning students will also get points. The points that students who win in each tournament match get are the same as the points that students get in daily matches. The difference is that in the tournament there is no point deduction if you lose. And again, only in the tournament do you have the opportunity to fight your seniors wide open. In addition, the 1st-3rd place winners will also get a lot of additional points," said Mr. Alan.
"Woahhh, I can't wait to join the tournament," said Noa.
"Please be patient, Noa Sigisbert. You're only on your first day at this academy and you're already looking forward to the tournament. The tournament is still a long way off, about 11 months away, you better study and improve your skills first," said Mr. Alan.
"Yes sir," said Noa.
"Hahahaha," laughed the other students.
"Sorry, I'm explaining everywhere. Let's go back to the daily matches. Although daily matches are not held every day because they are not available on Saturday and Sundays or on exam days, festivals and tournaments. But at least if you keep winning against students from the same year as you, you can collect at least 30,000-40,000 points by the end of the semester. With points from daily matches alone, you can get a Silver Badge. And if you add points from exams or even points from tournaments, it is not impossible that you can reach 60,000 points by the end of the semester and immediately get a Gold Badge in the second year as a requirement to move up to the third year. Well, that's if you can keep winning in daily matches,".
"For your information, you can recognize students from the same year or your seniors by the badges they wear. First years wear bronze badges, second years wear silver badges, third years wear gold badges and fourth years wear platinum badges. In addition, if you get a bronze badge at the beginning of entering the academy and to get a silver badge you need 30,000 points, a gold badge you need 60,000 points, and a platinum badge you need 100,000 points,".
"When you have advanced to the fourth year, there are two ways for you to graduate from the academy. The first is to collect 150,000 points by the end of the semester. Then the second way, this is the most difficult way but if you manage to do it even when you have just advanced to the fourth year, you can graduate immediately," said Mr. Alan.
"Then what is the second way?," asked one of the students.
"The second way is ..... defeating one of the San Fulgen Warrior Commanders," said Mr. Alan.
