I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

"Alright, now there's a major problem facing you: you don't know whether your rationality is good or on the verge of going berserk."

"You probably wouldn't notice it, since by the time you realize something is wrong with yourself, your rationality is already extremely low."

"Therefore, we have prepared special sanity measurement crystals for you in this course, which are right in front of you."

Lu Yuan did as he was told and placed his hand on it.

The crystal felt slightly cool. After a few breaths, a color appeared inside.

His is light yellow, somewhere between green and yellow.

Lu Yuan glanced around without making a sound.

The classroom was filled with large swaths of yellow, in varying shades.

Further along, there were a few patches that were yellowish with a hint of red.

"I'll just give a brief overview of the colors; you don't need to remember the details," the Knight with the Lantern's voice came from the platform.

"Those of you whose faces are already turning red, please suspend your other classes for now. After class, go to the academy's recovery area; there's a place there specifically to help you regain your sanity."

The Knight with the Lantern surveyed the classroom from the side of the podium, his gaze finally settling on a particular spot.

"This student."

Lu Yuan followed his gaze.

In the front row, a girl's crystal contained a clean, pure green color, without a single impurity.

Leah.

"Your sanity is actually green." The Lantern Knight was somewhat taken aback.

A low murmur rippled through the classroom.

"Green is extremely rare. No matter what path you take, once you reach a higher level, you will inevitably come into contact with polluted things, and your rationality will be tainted to some extent. Therefore, the vast majority of people are yellow. Light yellow is already the most common and excellent."

The Lantern Knight smiled and turned his gaze toward Lu Yuan.

"Like you, Lu Yuan. Your rationality is quite good."

Lu Yuan was surprised to be called on, so he stood up and answered.

"I myself am just a pale yellow," the Knight with the Lantern said, shrugging, which elicited a few laughs from the classroom.

"Two last things." The Lantern Knight's smile faded. "Those of you between yellow and red, and those already turning red, don't go to the course on Weird Ecology. That course involves sample presentations, and you're not in your current state to handle that."

"Tomorrow afternoon, there will be a class on pathway stability and convergence, taught by a dedicated teacher. Taking these two courses together, 'Rational Management and Discipline' and 'Pathway Stability and Convergence,' will be of great help to your pathways."

"This course is offered on a recurring basis, so it's okay if you miss a few days."

The Knight with the Lantern was still standing on the platform.

The senior student glanced towards the podium, her voice unconsciously lowering a few decibels.

"You haven't even heard of them? You're a newcomer? No wonder." The senior student with light blonde hair looked at Lu Yuan as if confirming something.

She then explained, "They're called the Hunting Order Squad, and they're quite famous in the academy."

Lu Yuan was a little confused: "What the heck is a Hunting Order Squad? Is it a Knight's Order?"

"Yes, they went there specifically for the Knight's Order mission," the senior student said.

"They are an organization, a team of three, that specializes in taking on high-difficulty missions in exchange for a large amount of Knight Tokens."

"They are all senior students from previous years. Their progress is also very fast," the senior student added.

"The previous few sessions?" Lu Yuan was a little surprised.

"Yes, one of those three has already reached the fourth level." The senior student's tone revealed a hint of envy.

"Logically speaking, once they reach the fourth rank, they only need to complete the tasks assigned to them by the academy to be called knights and leave the academy directly."

"Why haven't they left yet?"

"The team is a whole, right?" The senior student shrugged.

"I heard they're planning to use Knight's Tokens to exchange for some supplies, and get the other two team members to level four as well, so the three of them can go together."

Lu Yuan's gaze fell on the red light; no wonder their rationality was all red.

A high-difficulty mission—if it's considered a high-difficulty mission even at the Knight Academy, then what you're facing must be extremely dangerous.

It's quite normal to lose your composure quickly when undertaking this kind of task.

Well, according to the Knight with the Lantern, it was only a matter of time before they met with misfortune.

Moreover, if something happens, it won't be just one person, but three people together.

The Knight with the Lantern had been watching them for quite some time.

The senior student added, "If this continues, the path will eventually break down."

Lu Yuan nodded in thanks to his senior.

On the platform, the Knight with the Lantern briefly concluded what he had taught that day and began to explain how to make a sanity potion.

Judging from the behavior of the people in the classroom, it's clear that this rationality potion is nearing its end.

But Lu Yuan didn't care, or rather, he didn't really need this kind of rationality potion, because the rationality potions he could develop himself had already reached a very good level, and with the existence of hope and the gray and white text, Lu Yuan could create a newer potion at any time.

Of course, the most important thing is that it's now over.

Lu Yuan went to listen again, but it was too late. He'd have to wait until the next round.

"Alright, that's all for today's lesson. You few, stay behind. Those whose names I called earlier, stay behind."

Afterwards, the group of veteran students sat listlessly in their seats without moving, as did Leah.

The others got up one after another and walked out in twos and threes.

The afternoon classes ended just like that.

Lu Yuan followed the flow of people out of the main building.

The sun outside was already setting in the west, and the snow had begun to fall lightly again. The gas lamps along the roadside were now lit.

Lu Yuan hadn't gone far when Auden's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Are you awake?" Lu Yuan asked in his mind.

"Hmm, I slept well." Oden's voice was clear and alert.

At that moment, Lu Yuan raised the question he had asked in class:

"I was just about to ask you that. In class today, we talked about how rationality should neither increase nor decrease drastically. I understand the dangers of a sharp drop, but why is an increase unacceptable? After experiencing several sharp increases, I actually felt that my rationality had improved a bit."

Oden pondered for a moment:

"Normally speaking, whether it's a sharp drop or a sharp rise, it's unacceptable for a normal person, because your rationality is limited."

"After a crash, you'll see a side of the world that shouldn't exist. But a surge, on the other hand, is very likely to damage your original sanity, because too much of a surge might even burn out your brain. So normally, a surge is definitely much more terrifying than a crash," Oden continued.
