" Alright, with that out of the way, welcome children to basics of combat training, all of you here managed to get into this class, which means you are better than at least 50% of the trash we have lined our pockets with at the university ..... "

" Sir, may we come in? ". A group of 10-15 students interrupted the principal in his speech, and the principal's eyebrows began to twitch in anger at the interruption.

He looked at his clock, it was 9:02 and he said " 2 minutes late, the penalty is 20,000 merit points, pay up and get in or SCRAM ".

The group of children outside looked aghast, but they did not dare say anything to the principal as they scrambled away without saying another word.

Without missing a beat he continued " I'm sure over 90% of you here are idiots hailing from big families and clans, having been pampered all your life and handed everything.

Well, that's exactly why I made the university a brutal game of survival, making it hard to even attend lectures without facing constant life-and-death struggles.

Don't mistake my intention children, I'm not a sadist, I don't derive joy out of your misery and I don't want you all to fail in life, If I could make one wish right now, I would wish for all of you to be god's one day and rule your own galaxies and be prosperous and powerful. But this is not a fairytale my children, it's reality.

So lecture 1, here is my advice to all of you..... WAKE UP TO REALITY

Because, my dear children, the reason why your families spent millions of gold to send you here is not that you may someday become a tier 2 trash warrior or a tier 3 warrior or a tier 4 ascended warrior.

They sent you here to help you build the foundation to reach the very top! And to reach the very top, you need to take a path uncharted by others. A path of struggle and refining, a path that will lead to holistic development and not just short-term gains and that path boys, girls and beasts is the ' way of the perfect warrior ' ".

Max carefully listened to the professor, his passion bubbling because he could perfectly relate to the things that the professor was saying. He had indeed come to the university because he heard that it gave one the chance to build a robust foundation that he/she could build on to get really far in the future.

" Every year, I teach my students the ' way of the perfect warrior ' and every year, not even one single student is able to complete the training.

47 years, I have been principal, yet in my long tenure, not one student has completed the path.

The last one to complete the first two levels of the path is me myself, under the tenure of the honorable ex-principal of this university, however, it has been 56 years since anyone else did.

Maybe it's because I'm not competent enough as a motivator and a teacher, or maybe you nobles don't have the hunger necessary to walk the path.

Either way, it's a new year, you are a new batch and I'm a fool who still hopes.

So let me teach you all ' The path of the perfect warrior '.

The path of the perfect warrior is based on the idea that while leveling up only gives a certain AP every time one levels up, special activities allocate specific points without leveling up.

For example, training inside the gravity chamber will eventually give an individual a +1 AGI notification because of their intense training inside.

So the perfect warrior is an individual who maxes out these additional stat points for all stats at every single tier.

It differs from species to species and it gets harder and harder as the tiers progress. However, the benefits are also immense.

As you all must know when one upgrades from tier 0 to tier 1 all their stat points are doubled.

From tier 1 to 2 doubled again, and so on and so on till tier 5.

Now imagine you have 10 extra points in agility at tier 0 because you trained hard.

Then it doubles, and doubles and doubles, and by the time you are tier 5 those 10 extra points become a whopping 120 points.

But let me give you the kicker, that's only if you maximize your potential at tier 0. If you continue to do it at every tier, by the end you will have 1000 stat points more than a fighter of your same level at the very peak of tier 5.

A perfect tier 0 warrior can fight a mid-tier 1 warrior on equal grounds. A perfect tier 3 warrior can fight a top tier 4 warrior on equal terms and a perfect tier 5 warrior can break the vast chasms and fight a god while being a mortal! ".

The principal exclaimed, his voice full of emotions. As the eyes of many students began shining brightly at the vision they were shown by the principal.

" The path is perilous and not for the weak-willed, it's a path only for someone who wishes to become a supreme warrior, a warrior with the best foundation and a warrior who doesn't just mindlessly aim to improve, but has the patience and vision to aim for heights beyond what most can ever dream to achieve.

I myself have perfected tier 0, tier 1, and tier2 and for the last 14 years I'm perfecting my tier 3 base, and I'm finally getting closer to the end.

If I wanted to, I could have become a tier 4 warrior 14 years ago, but my goal is higher. My goal is not just tier 4 but a level much beyond, which is why I'm still honing my craft.

Come walk this path with me if you dare .... ".
