Chapter 25 – Exploring the Academy's Training Facilities
---
Alden smirked as he checked his smartwatch. His bet on Leonhardt's easy victory had earned him 100 Academy Credits (AC) from the unfortunate seniors who underestimated the protagonist.
'Easy money,' he thought, pocketing the winnings.
He had started with 500 AC, and after buying food, he was left with around 470 AC. Now, with his winnings, his balance had jumped back up to 570 AC.
"Not bad," he muttered. "At this rate, I might not be broke next week."
[You could've made more if you bet bigger,] his katana remarked.
'I like to keep my risks low,' Alden shot back. 'Besides, now I have enough to check out the training facilities.'

The Academy's Training Facilities
The Academy was one of the most advanced in the world, and its training facilities reflected that. Unlike other students who might struggle to afford regular use, S-Class students got discounts on all training facilities.
'Being in S-Class does have perks,' Alden thought as he walked toward the Training Center.
The large futuristic building had a sleek design with mana-infused panels glowing faintly. The entrance had holographic displays showing different available facilities.
A voice assistant chimed in as he entered.
[Welcome to the Advanced Training Center. Please select your desired training area.]
Alden glanced at the list.

Training Facilities
1. Gravity Chamber – (10 AC per hour)
Adjust gravity levels to increase physical endurance and strength.
2. Elemental Chambers – (15 AC per hour)
Allows mages to train their elemental control in various extreme environments.
He sat cross-legged, closing his eyes, focusing on his mana veins. The purifying potion he took before had already improved his mana flow, but now he had to refine it.
His Sharingan briefly activated, allowing him to visualize mana movement better than before.
Time passed quickly, and by the end of the session, his mana reserves had noticeably improved.

A Glimpse at the VR Combat Capsule
Lastly, Alden visited the VR Combat Capsule section.
'This is expensive, but I need to know how it works,' he thought, paying 40 AC for a single session.
The capsule opened with a hiss, and he stepped inside. A holographic interface appeared.
[Please select your opponent difficulty.]
**Easy (F+ to E Rank)
Normal (E+ to D Rank)
Hard (D+ to C Rank)**
Alden selected "Normal" and entered the simulation.
The moment he materialized in the virtual battlefield, an opponent appeared—a humanoid knight wielding a longsword.
'Let's see how well I can fight without using my 5-star techniques...'
After leaving the VR Capsule, his entire body ached.
'I need a proper training schedule,' he thought.
Gravity Chamber (1 hour/day) → Physical Strength
Mana Meditation (1 session/day) → Mana Growth & Recovery
VR Combat (Every few days) → Practical Combat Experience
Elemental Chamber (Later, when he has elemental abilities)
Satisfied with his findings, Alden walked back to his dorm, exhausted but satisfied.
Tomorrow, the real training would begin.
