Chapter 490 A Powerful Uniform Set
-----
And the uniforms weren\'t without their own Equipment Status, the whole set counted as a single equipment, kind of like the Armor Set Chris gifted to me.

[Description]
An incredible Uniform set made by an equally amazing Tailor with a Four Star Talent or higher. It was made out of the wool of Thunderous Sheep, Rank C Monsters that roam the Farther Grasslands to the East of the Stronghold City. Reinforced with Wyvern Scale Powder and Tempest Eagle Feathers, it is an incredible piece of equipment, both light, clean, and strong. Wearing the whole set together will automatically activate powerful runes, making the Students stronger.

This whole set was utterly ridiculous… And if I wear the Wyvern Armor on top of this uniform, wouldn\'t I get even more bonuses? It would be an amazing bonus. And above all, these sewed clothes are all Unique Grade, which is amusing by itself.
When we all walked outside of the rooms for changing clothes, the reactions of my friends was evident, wearing such fancy clothes and looking similar with one another was something new for us.
"Now that\'s what we are talking about!" Evelyn seemed happy. "Finally you guys look good! Ah, it completely changes everything, isn\'t it?"
"Yeah, they look so good with them. The girls are just enchanting." Said Cecilia.
The clothes for the boys were the same as mine, meanwhile, the girls had long skirts that reached below their knees, they were white colored as well. They also had to wear long white stockings. Elizabeth wasn\'t annoyed by them, but Erika was constantly trying to adjust them around, the clothes over her legs were annoying for her, most likely because she wasn\'t accustomed to it. Hell, she often just wears sandals or just is barefoot all the time. She\'s a rather "wild" girl now that I think about it.
"Ugh! Aren\'t these a bit too tight? My thighs are getting red!" Erika cried. The stockings were indeed tightly grasping her thighs, which had develop bigger over time.
"They are not tight dear, just don\'t stretch them." Cecilia quickly stopped her, readjusting the whole thing and then leaving it there. "Be careful with these pieces of equipment. If you break them you\'ll have to buy new ones, and they cost over a thousand gold coins."
"E-Eeeh?! That much!?" Erika asked.
"It is premium work made by a Four-Star Tailor, people all over the world commission her their clothes." Evelyn said. "This Academy is generous enough to pay their students uniforms and even handle them free weapons and armor if they lack them."
"I-I see… I\'ll be more careful." Erika sighed.
"Now, now, we should quickly go off for now." Evelyn quickly guided us outside.
"Wait. Lady Cecilia do you teach at the academy?" I asked.
"Oh yes! I do Tailoring Classes. If you\'re interested in them you can freely register once you\'re done with your exams." Cecilia smiled. "It is rare to find people interested actually, I would gladly welcome you aboard."
"I see, I\'ll keep that in mind."
If I could learn tailorship from this woman, my equipment crafting capabilities would greatly improve. I\'ll definitely make sure to join her classes. It seems that aside from some necessary classes everyone takes, students might be free to pick whatever classes they\'re interested into.
"Blake, hurry!" Evelyn called.
"Sure, sure…"
Once we made a few turns around the city, we finally reached the center of the city, where the Academy was located. It was so big it resembled a massive white and silver castle. The surrounding gardens were massive and it was easy to see that there were over four arenas where hundreds of people could go watch fights.
I suppose there are tournaments in this academy, something I had expected. The entrance was… convoluted. It seems we were rather late in the line, there were over a hundred students, all wearing the same uniform in a line in front of us. The academy\'s entrance was being regulated by a large group of teachers, apparently.
Amongst the things that caught my attention, each student had to touch a spherical crystal before stepping inside the academy, where they would then be guided into one of these arenas. We couldn\'t see more than that normally, although I was already seeing it all using one of my flying Familiars, the Hawk.
With his help, I was able to easily discern from the skies that the students were then told to sit down around the arena and wait for their turn while completing a written test right in the open. There were desks and pens there, but it looked quite rough and rushed despite how glorious this place made itself to be.
Nonetheless, right after finishing this written exam, they were told to wait their turn to fight one of the teachers. There were some fights already ongoing, students were easily being brought down one by one, but even those that lost miserably weren\'t told to go away or something. It seems that students were already admitted inside, but perhaps depending in their scores in this test, they would be given special benefits.
Interesting…
