Parallel Memory

Principal gave the green light immediately after the Vice-Principal discussed the plan. There was no reason to deny as it seems to carry many benefits to the students.

However, such reasons were not seen by other schools.

They simply took the opportunity to further condemn Ace Academy who was already getting enough criticism from media and people alike for their failure during Devil's Invasion.

They were laughing at Ace Academy's new method of training by saying how inefficient and a waste of time it was. Rather than doing such jobs, they feel that students should focus on ranking up quickly.

Higher the rank, stronger the students. There was no need for other factors when one's rank was higher than the other.

As for the experience, they believe that it would be sufficient from the training that they give and there is no need to send students to dangerous missions until they graduate. They didn't see the benefit of expanding students' horizons either nor how it could help students decide which things to specialize according to their future jobs.

Rather than implementing changes, other schools were still with their same old curriculum. They think that what they are doing is fine for students even if they are to be sent to war. Strong will survive and weak will die, and that is all that they know.

They think that the failure of Ace Academy was solely because Ace Academy was incompetent. If such an incident happened to them, they thought that they would easily overcome it.

Some of the schools went even extra miles by also accusing Ace Academy of forcing students to earn money for the schools. They thought that Ace Academy was trying to introduce such a learning method simply to earn more money as well as to not teach the students.

They also accused Ace Academy of trying to please The Authority by using the students. The Authority lacked people and they thought that Ace Academy was trying to butter up.

The schools that have enmity with Ace Academy such as Arcane Academy spared no chance to defame Ace Academy as much as possible. They also tried to appeal to The Authority to close such academies who bring harm to students and try to profit off the future heroes.

Students from other schools who were once a part of Ace Academy also took the opportunity to mock the students for being stupid. When they decided to go to another school, many called them cowards and how they were just running away.

However, they didn't care as they feared their lives being in danger. They don't care what others think of them or whether they would be deemed as words as they transfer to another school.

However, this incident gave them an opportunity for them to fight back against their former school mates. They called them stupid as they supported such idiot schools who failed to protect their own students.

Of course, the media will also miss the chance of criticizing Ace Academy as everything related to Ace Academy is sure to get high views.

While one criticizes, others try to be analytical and come up with the reasons for Ace Academy action. However, compared to people condemning Ace Academy, people trying to side with Ace Academy were only a drop in a bucket.

Even with all this criticism, Ace Academy continued to try their new method in hope that their students would be able to grow stronger than before.

However, because of being seen as inferior by other people, many students of Ace Academy protested against this. Most students from Diamond and Gold graded backgrounds simply could bear to work at the same level as common people.

They found those jobs to be humiliating, even though they might have to do that some days. However, they felt that those low-level jobs were not to their standards.

The Ace Academy Professor had no choice but to keep those students from such sessions. Oblivious that Ace Academy were doing this for their own good, those students felt that they were exempted because of their influences and power.

Ace Academy already had their hands full, and if certain people dislike what they are doing, they have no regrets in giving up on them. Ace Academy professors believe that talent and background are secondary to hard work.

Many of them have also come to this level because of hard work and they know how important hard work is for growth. If students don't want to, then they could simply keep them out. This was mainly done for them after all.

However, many students were excited to be given such an opportunity. Some students had never been able to properly go on real dungeons due to restrictions such as level and money needed. But now that the Ace Academy was helping, they had no problem.

Some were also excited by the fact that they were going to keep the rewards for the mission assigned. While many students from a good background were able to afford into such a school, many took loans and were short of money.

Such opportunities were a blessing to them.

Hiro, Zion, Lisa and Sylvia also have no problem with such an arrangement by Ace Academy. They had already been going to the dungeon during free time, and the Ace Academy decision only helped them.

Lisa and Sylvia were looking forward to other missions that were assigned. They wanted to know more about the jobs that they would need to do in the future.

Ace Academy was happy for such students. Despite being under constant threat by other people, they did what they needed to do.

Ace Academy was having a huge problem as they were threatened to get closed because of how negative people's opinion was about the school. Last year already, with Devil's Invasion, Ace Academy would have been closed because of students dying in the campus.

The only reason that Ace Academy were spared even after having lost many students during Devil's Invasion was because Ace Academy won the last Tournament and because of an invasion involving high rank devils.

With Number 1 academy gone, it would be a huge loss of morale for many people. And The Authority has many people who studied in Ace Academy and supports it.

However, Tournament Of Academies was once again approaching and if Ace Academy loses, many expect that with so many factors against Ace Academy, they might need to face being closed.

Arcane Academy who has the most enmity against Ace Academy were laughing as they prepared to eliminate their enemy once and for all.

Last year, they tried to turn the tables by employing various tactics and underhanded methods which were exposed. They faced a penalty and The Authority had taken most of their resources as punishment.

This time they were prepared to have revenge with more preparation than ever.

Ace Academy was also aware of that fact. It was their fault that humanity had lost many talents and also know that their mistakes are being forgiven because they simply were the best.

When that title is taken, they would be on fire with multiple guilds and other academies pressuring them to close off.

However, they were not afraid at all. They were confident that this year, they were going to win as well.

They believe that their students have grown beyond anyone's expectation. Not only did they have Hiro and Zion but other strong students who would easily have been the Ace of their academy. It was not just any school but Top-5 school aces.

Students such as Lisa and Misha were already on level of some of the Top-5 Academies aces. With such a lineup, Ace Academy professors were confident in winning.

Moreover, the objective of introducing the new learning method is also because they want to strengthen the students. They believe that their students would once again help Ace Academy bring back the glory.

With all the criticism, Ace Academy students worked hard at the missions that were given to them. For the first few days, not much had changed but after weeks of such a session, good changes were brought to Ace Academy.

First of all, experience was the biggest gain from all the jobs that students had taken. Guarding people which they would need even in war as they might need to protect mage while fighting enemies.

Conquering dungeons which are obvious jobs of many Explorers and many more. Students also began to find the necessary skill that they might need for the jobs that they want to do in future.

All in all, Ace Academy was going in the right direction.
