Academy

The Academy is a building accessed from the Home screen, where Partners can be sent to study texts. It is unlocked when the player clears Story Chapter 4, and can be reached from the Home screen.

## Gameplay

One normal study session takes three hours to complete, and awards the selected partner a certain amount of Growth Pts (in all four attribute potentials) and Skill Pts. The amount of points received is determined by the academy level (see Building the Academy below), and can be increased by consuming Assorted Stew. Rewards can also be increased for individual partners by reaching knowledge level 10.

### Studying

When starting a *Study*, a partner can be chosen for that seat. Recommended partners will have 100% chance of enlightenment, which is indicated by the **REC** icon on the upper right corner. Depend on personal preference, the Sort button can be used.

There are two sorting types, *Default sorting* and *Rec sorting*. The applied sorting method is always the opposite of what is shown on the sort button. *Default sorting* arranges partners based on their level, and then their total attribute. *Rec sorting* groups the recommended partners (based on specialty), and brings them to the top. Within their groups, they again are organized by the level and the total attribute.

Once a partner has been set to studying, the player can speed up the completion by spending ingots. The longer the time that is left, the more expensive it is. The number of times this can be done per day increases with higher VIP level.

### Enlightenment

Each text is associated with one or two partner specialties. This determines the chance of a partner reaching enlightenment while studying the text. Reaching Enlightenment during a study session gives the partner an increased amount of Skill Pts and/or Growth Pts, which is described in the *Additional Rewards* section.

* For single attribute texts, any partner that is specialized in that attribute has a 100% chance of reaching enlightenment.
* If there are two attributes:
	+ Partner specialized in both of them will have a 100% chance of enlightenment.
	+ Partners specialized in one or the other will have a 80% chance.
* Partners that are not specialized in any of the recommended traits have a 60% chance of enlightenment.
* and  partners, being specialized in all four attributes, will always have a 100% chance of enlightenment.

### Further Education

Further Education can be selected when starting a study session. It takes nine hours, consumes one Further Edu. Token, and gives three times the usual reward.

## Seats

The Academy starts out with one seat. Additional seats can be purchased with gold ingots at increasing cost, allowing several Partners to study simultaneously. Once five seats have been unlocked, the Fast Complete option becomes available.

Additional academy slots can be unlocked through the Self-motivated skill in Ministry of Works.

## Building the Academy

The Academy can be upgraded by tapping the Build button at the bottom of the screen. There are two ways to improve the Academy, "Specialty" and "Literary & Military Expertise". Building costs both gold and silver ingots, the cost increasing with level. The Specialty upgrades increase the amount of Skill Pts rewarded for each study session. The Literary & Military Expertise upgrades increase the amount of Growth Pts.

Each level of academy upgrades require the player to have reached a certain rank.
