But then Rudra saw their expressions. They were trying hard not to laugh.
He became confused.
"Why are you all laughing so hard? We were talking about the sect name and you're laughing instead."
Sanya and the other three tried to control their laughter. Sanya finally spoke, holding back her giggles.
"Rudra… have you learned your naming skills from big brother? Hahah!"
She couldn't hold it anymore and laughed harder. Then she stopped, looked at everyone, and said,
"Anyone else want to suggest a name?"
Jina said, "Let's use Rose Syndicate."
But Ruyi didn't like it.
Galaxy said, "Let's use BoundlessAscendancy."
But Jina and Roxa didn't like it.
Ruyi said, "Let's use Nexus Infinity."
But Galaxy didn't like it.
Nobody even asked for Rudra's opinion anymore. He was just standing there, looking at them with a confused face.
After some more discussion, they finally decided on a name—Ecliptic Bound.
Ecliptic Bound. Their path. Endless.
Then Jina asked, "But Roxa, we are only five people. And we don't know about big brother. Will he join us or not? Even though it's not a rule, everyone believes that a sect needs at least twenty members to run successfully. We don't have a special AI like the Concords, otherwise it would be easy to manage even with just 5 members."
Sanya thought for a moment and said, "You're right. If I'm going to create a sect that surpasses even the Concords, I should at least have a special AI to manage everything. We will be very big later on. So it's a necessity. But where can I find the AI? I'll think about it later."
"As for members, I already have candidates in mind. They will join us later. Don't worry about that. And I don't know about… big brother joining us."
Jina nodded in understanding. Then she suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, Roxa, I forgot to tell you. There's going to be an academy in the Game world soon. And it will be part of the game itself, just like the Concords."
"This academy is very amazing—it teaches all the essential things and more. and it's free. You don't have to pay. So if you want, you can join. I'm also joining with Ruyi. And Galaxy, you can come too. It's really amazing."
"But you have to remember that the academy will only allow students in their real body form, not game characters."
Ruyi nodded in agreement with Jina. She also urged Sanya, rudra and galaxy to join.
On the other hand, Sanya was confused. Where did this academy come from? And having the same status as the Concords? More importantly, how did Jina and Ruyi know about it?
No one knew about it currently. So how could they know?
She decided to ask her brother later. She would also tell him if he could give her a special AI as well and if he would join her sect.
Jina and Ruyi then left Sanya's lobby, saying they were going offline because they had to go somewhere.
Only Sanya, Rudra, and Galaxy remained. Galaxy asked Sanya, "Roxa, are you gonna join the academy? I think it will be a good idea. If I can get admitted, I'll leave my current university."
"If I can get tutoring in the game, why should I go there?"
Sanya didn't answer her right away. She said quietly, "I don't know if I should go…"
Sanya remembered how she hadn't gone to any school after leaving her old normal home. And after arriving at Dark Haven Fortress, she never truly studied. She just used her time freely, playing and training.
Her parents and brothers never forced her because the outside world was dangerous—and still was. But now there was this VR world and the academy.
Her parents would likely throw her into it if they found out about the academy. And her brother definitely knew about the academy—he would probably throw both her and Rudra in it.
She didn't want to study again. Even though her mind had grown powerful through cultivation and scripture training, she doesn't like studying.
She just hoped there would be no academy—that it was just fake rumors heard by Ruyi and Jina.
On the other hand, Rudra wasn't reluctant about the academy at all. He had never gone to any school or studied formally. From movies and novels he read, academies seemed like fun places full of adventure and excitement. He hoped to get a chance to explore one.
Galaxy, hearing Roxa's vague answer, didn't ask anything more. She could feel Roxa's hesitation about the academy—she was clearly reluctant to go.
She didn't push Roxa. She had already decided that if the academy was real, she would join. Her current university in the real world wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either—just average.
If Jina and Ruyi were right, and this academy was on the level of the Concords, it would be amazing.
Then Galaxy turned to Rudra and asked, "Rudra, will you go?"
Rudra nodded eagerly. "Yes! I will go to the academy. It will be fun."
Galaxy didn't understand why Rudra found the academy so exciting, but she nodded in understanding.
Just then Sanya said, "Oh, brother has finished his match. Let's invite him and ask if he'll join us."
Galaxy and Rudra also heard sanya words. They nodded their heads in agreement.
After a second, Heart Clone entered Sanya's lobby.
