Chapter 48 Special Admission

"This whole mansion is mine?" Jake looked at the mansion and then asked.

"Yes, Special admissions have their own separate mansions," the fembot replied.

{A/N : Female robot shortened to Fembot}

Jake nodded and then asked, "What are the other benefits for Special Grade Admission?"

"They have a variety of benefits," the fembot nodded and then said:

1. More Resources: "Normally, students are given a one-hour training card and 100 good-quality stones of their respective cores, but for Special Admissions, it is 500 good-quality stones of their cores and a 5-hour training card.

2. Freedom: Normal students have to attend regular classes, but for special admissions, as long as they show results, they don't have to.

3. Dungeon Access: Normal students are not allowed to enter academy dungeons or gates until they reach B rank, but it is allowed for special admissions, though they can only enter dungeons with a supervisor if they enter a gate higher rank than their own.

4. Custom Weapons: Normal students can only choose from ready-made weapons, while special admissions can commission Academy Blacksmiths for custom weapons.

5. Arts: Normal students are given a choice from basic arts up to Epic rank, while for special admissions it is up to Legendary rank."

As Fembot explained, Jake nodded and then reached his Mansion door. "Where is the key?" Jake asked.

"Check the file Elder has given you," Fembot replied.

Jake nodded and then looked at the file, which contained one long sheet of schedule and a ring.

Wearing the ring, Jake checked inside and saw it was a 100 sq. m space storage ring, which was 5 times smaller than the ring Tom had given them.

Jake then brought out the Key, which was a card key. Swiping it on the door, he opened it and saw a simple but great house.

"The mansion design is simple so that anyone can customize their mansion to their liking," Fembot explained.

The entry foyer of the home oozed elegance and class. A grand staircase with delicately carved banisters led to the second floor, wherein polished marble floors reflected the warm glow of crystal chandeliers suspended from the high ceiling.

To the left of the foyer was a large living area with plush sofas and armchairs grouped around a marble fireplace. Large windows with flowing drapes let in natural light, creating a warm and inviting feeling.

A formal dining area adjoined the living room, complete with a long mahogany table equipped with beautiful china and silverware. A gorgeous picture graced one wall, providing a touch of grandeur to the room.

Moving deeper inside the mansion, a gourmet kitchen awaited, complete with the latest technology and marble countertops. A huge island in the center allowed enough space for food preparation, while French doors led to a gorgeous garden, providing a peaceful sanctuary for outdoor dining.

A master suite awaited upstairs, with a king-sized bed draped in luxury sheets and a marble en-suite bathroom complete with a Jacuzzi tub and walk-in shower. Additional bedrooms, each elegantly designed and outfitted with modern facilities, provided comfort and seclusion for guests.

Tasteful design and subtle details pervaded the mansion, exuding refinement and sophistication. From the elegant crown molding to the delicately patterned wallpaper, every element exuded subtle grandeur.

As Jake examined the mansion, he couldn't help but admire its basic yet spectacular architecture. With its spacious rooms, sophisticated furnishings, and flexible layout, it was the perfect place for anyone to build their own personal paradise of comfort and luxury.

"I don't think there is anything to change. I like it this way," Jake said after touring the whole mansion.

"But are all dormitories this grand?" Jake asked.

"Special admissions can be said to be the royalty of the Academy, so yes," the Fembot nodded.

"Hmm, well then, you can go," Jake nodded and then said.

"Where should I go?" the Fembot tilted her head and asked.

"I mean, don't you have your work to do?" Jake replied.

The Fembot nodded and then exited Jake's room. Jake then proceeded to change into something comfortable.

"I will check the schedule later. Anyway, the test will take place this whole week, which means classes will start after this week," Jake mumbled and laid on his bed and slipped into sleep.

Not knowing, the Fembot reached the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.

After a peaceful sleep, Jake woke up and stretched, then went to wash up.

After freshening up, he adorned his clothes and checked the guidebook to know the location of the cafeteria.

"Weird, there is no mention of the cafeteria," Jake mumbled and decided to eat some fruits and ask later about this issue.

Jake then went to the kitchen and exclaimed when he saw a variety of dishes already prepared.

"You are awake," Jake turned back and saw the Fembot.

"What are you doing here? No, did you cook all of this?" Jake asked and then pointed at the dishes.

"Yes, I did. As for why I am here, I am your caretaker," the Fembot replied.

"So you will live here with me, cook, and take care of all other miscellaneous stuff?" Jake asked.

"Yes," the Fembot replied.

Jake nodded and understood why there wasn't any cafeteria. "Do all students have a caretaker?" Jake asked.

"Yes, both normal and special admissions have one caretaker," the Fembot replied.

"So, do you have a name?" Jake asked.

"No, but you can assign one," the Fembot replied.

"Then, Luna, it will be your name," Jake said, to which the Fembot replied. She had a bob cut, with blue shimmering hair and an oval face. If not for her emotionless face, she would be a perfect cute girl.

Jake then tasted Luna's cooking. Although it was made from normal S-rank monster meat and herbs, it was far more delicious than what his Mom cooks. That day, he could only think of one thing: His Mom lost to Luna in terms of cooking.

Jake then, out of curiosity, inspected Luna and saw she was as powerful as an Ex-ranker and had mastery in many weapon arts as well as various magic knowledge. Not only that, she had master-level cooking and other household works skills.

After eating, Jake decided to rest and then logged back into the game as Dusk to establish his village, as he only had one day left on his village establishment quest.

Arriving in the World's End, he quickly used the Platinum token and then he was teleported and arrived at a different location.

Jake jumped high in the air and saw his Village was adjacent to a mountain and forest, with a lake a few kilometers away from his village. "It is a good location," Jake mumbled and decided to use this place as his village.

As Jake pressed yes, a circular area of forest vanished and then a wooden house and other necessary buildings appeared.

Jake looked around the village and nodded. He then reached the Hero Altar to summon heroes.

Due to the Platinum Village order, he had one-time legendary summon which he was going to use now.

As Jake pressed the free legendary summon, a ray of golden light shot out from the Altar. When the light subsided, a golden-haired girl was standing there.

The Golden knight girl descended the Altar and then bowed to Jake.

"Golden Knight, Lily, at your service," she said.

"Welcome, Lily," Jake nodded and then checked her status:

[ Name: Lily Rudwig

Rank: E+

Core: Divine

Divine Energy: 500

Ability: Golden Knight Sword Art (SS), Riding (S), Knight's Way (SSS)]

Jake smiled seeing her status and then introduced the village to her, which he named Horizon.

Jake then also recruited the unique hero, and this time it was a Male mage with two S-rank talents.

Jake then took out the special building token and used it. As Jake used it, a new building appeared. Coming near it, Jake saw it was a Magic Tower, a place where Mages train and learn.

After that, Jake visited all buildings and checked them out, and only then he used his Class Trial Ticket.

As Jake used the class ticket, he was given options to choose from a variety of classes from simple swordsman to mages to hybrids of those two, like Magic Swordsman.

After some thought, Jake chose Dark Battle Mage. Earlier he was going to choose Necromancer, but after Liliac told him it's not just a simple game, he decided to play safe and choose a class that can benefit him in both the real and virtual world.

After Jake made his choice, the trial started with normal difficulty where he had to defeat one lower-ranked monster than him with the given spells and his own swordsmanship, which was easy as Jake bulldozed to Hell level difficulty, where he had to defeat a one-rank-above-him monster.

After Jake completed the trials, he was awarded:

{Congratulations, User Dusk, to change class to Dark Knight}

{User received Dark Sword Art, Dark Aura, Indomitable, and Dark magic}

"Huh? Is it a bug? I selected Dark Battle Mage, then why is it a Dark Knight?" Jake mumbled.

[You used only swordsmanship to complete all trials. What do you expect?]

[You should be grateful it didn't outright abandon your choice and change your class to swordsman] Nexus explained the cause, causing Jake to sigh about the realism of the game.
