Patroller Academy

The Patroller Academy in Conton City is more than just a place to train with your chosen mentors; it's a hub for unique interactions, special events, and skill development that can significantly enhance your Time Patroller's abilities. Often, players overlook the Academy's interior, missing out on valuable opportunities.

Accessing the Academy

The Patroller Academy is a prominent building located in the center of Conton City. While you'll frequently visit the exterior to interact with mentors, the interior offers additional content. If you see a notification stating "Something's happening at the Patroller Academy..." after completing Parallel Quests or story missions, this is your cue to enter the building.

Academy Events and Rewards

Inside the Patroller Academy, various events can trigger, often tied to your progress with specific mentors or overall game progression. These events typically involve:

Special Mentor Dialogues: As you increase your friendship level with different mentors, they may appear inside the Academy, often in the main classroom area. These dialogues can provide deeper lore insights, character interactions, and sometimes even unlock new training options or items.
Rivalry/Friendship Events: When you've maxed out the friendship levels of certain mentor pairs, unique cutscenes and dialogues can occur. For example, maxing out both Goku and Vegeta's friendship might trigger a special interaction between them within the Academy. These events are purely for flavor and lore but add to the immersion.
Advanced Training Sessions: Occasionally, a mentor might offer an advanced training session within the Academy that isn't available through their standard outdoor training. These sessions can teach powerful new Super Attacks or Ultimate Attacks, or even unlock new Awoken Skills. Always check the main classroom and surrounding areas if you see an event notification.
Item Acquisition: While less common, some Academy events can reward you with rare items, Z-Souls, or even unique clothing pieces that aren't obtainable elsewhere. These are often tied to completing specific challenges or dialogues.

Walkthrough Steps for Academy Content

Monitor Notifications: Pay close attention to the "Something's happening at the Patroller Academy..." message that appears on your screen after completing missions or returning to Conton City. This is your primary indicator for new content.
Enter the Building: Don't just interact with mentors outside. Physically enter the Patroller Academy building. The entrance is clearly marked.
Explore the Interior: Once inside, head directly to the main classroom area. This is where most special events and dialogues take place. Occasionally, characters might be in the hallways or other rooms, so a quick sweep of the ground floor is recommended.
Interact with NPCs: Look for characters with a green question mark or a speech bubble icon above their heads. These indicate active events or dialogues. Engage with them to trigger cutscenes or training opportunities.
Complete Training/Challenges: If an event leads to a training session, successfully complete the objectives. These often involve specific combat scenarios or demonstrating mastery of certain techniques.
Revisit Periodically: Even without a notification, it's good practice to visit the Academy periodically, especially after leveling up or maxing out mentor friendships, as some events might not always trigger a direct message.

Key Items and Strategies

Friendship Levels: The most crucial element for unlocking Academy content is increasing your mentor's friendship levels. Equip their Z-Soul, use their skills in battle, and complete Parallel Quests with them as your ally to quickly raise their affinity.
Training Outfits: While not directly tied to the Academy, wearing specific training outfits (e.g., Goku's Gi, Piccolo's Clothes) can sometimes influence mentor dialogue or offer minor bonuses during training.
Z-Souls: Some Z-Souls obtained from mentors can be particularly useful during Academy training sessions, providing stat boosts or advantageous effects that make challenges easier to complete.
