CHAPTER 17
"Like I said, this will be where you will stay but there will special cases that you can be kicked out here." The assistant teacher explained. "But before everything else, I will first tell you some basic information about this Academy and I will also introduce myself." It added.
"I am Ma Jin Tong, assistant teacher in Auxiliary Department." Then he slightly lowered his head as a greeting. Bing Chuan and Xie also introduce themselves and bowed 90 degrees. Jin Tong smiled when he saw how humble and kind this two kids are, unlike those previous top ranker.
"About this dorm, all the top rankers of the outer school all live here but all stayed on different floors. The top 10-6 all stayed on the rooms on the first floor, the 5th - 3rd are on the second floor while the 1st and 2nd are on the top floors. But inside the dorm, there is still a ranking of the top 40." He started the explanation about the dorm.
"About how one can stay here, there are many factors about that. First, all students of the outer school can challenge anyone in the dorm, but they must be in the same year. Losing the challenge means losing your spot in the dorm and surrender the position, rematch can happen after a week. Second, being a low performance student, actual or academic, there will be monthly assessment to test your performance. Last, is 3 losing streak in dorm battles." Jin Tong explained how one can stay in the top rankers dorm.
"About the dorm battles, every week there are dorm battle that will publicly takes place and will happen in the stadium. The purpose of that is to know who are the top among the top. Higher years may have the advantage but nothing is always certain. According to the recent reports about the two of you, you can defeat the weakest among the third year. The current top 1 already entered the inner school and so as the other 4th years last year. Now, the current strongest ranked 4th, a 3rd year senior and he is at level 29. About his other information, it is up to you to find out." He giggles, in Jin Tong's guess the two kids may be able to enter the top 10 of the dorm.
"Plus, the average ranking of every students in the dorm will be calculated monthly and base on your average ranking, a reward is granted." He added. With this the eyes of the two lit up after hearing the word rewards.
"Next is the basic information about the school. Tomorrow, you need to roam around the Academy to choose your subject you want to take. Every student is required to have 3 mandatory subject, 1 sub field subject and 1 main field subject. Among the mandatory subject, you can pick between, Mathematics, Language, Politics, History, Sciences and Etiquette. As for the sub and main field, it is about your martial soul. You about the different branches of martial souls, right?" Xie and Bing Chuan said yes.
"Among the fields you can choose between the Attack, Assassinate, Tank, Control and Auxiliary. Attack is for those who are always in for attacks, either range of melee. Assassinate is for those who are to deal damage while avoiding of being detected. Tank is for those who will take damage for his or her team. Control is for those who can see the who battlefield and make commands in the team, they are commonly the leader of the team. Last is the Auxiliary for those who are in healing, buffing, debuffs and many others. Aside from the five, there is also the special field where their martial souls are tools and it is the Tool field." He finished his explanation and told the two to go to the top floor and get their rooms.
When they arrived at the top floor, many eyes are piercing them. Xie could feel it but he disregard all of this as it will not bring any benefit to him. But before he close the only available room, he let out a small amount of his mana to attack the spirit of those students. Then they all feel a sudden dizziness but they recovered quickly. Xie made sure that he will only do them a slight damage and will powerfully attack during the dorm battles. He already memorize the face of those students and will never forget them.
After settling their things things, they got down to Jin Tong as he said that he will tour them around the academy so that they won't have a hard time tomorrow.
In all their shock, the Academy was actually place in a mountain of should they say that the mountain became an academy. The lower half of the mountain is the residence of outer school students while the upper half is for the inner school.
Outer students are not allowed to go the upper part but the inner students are allowed to go down. The whole area is like a small city where even restaurants and shops are present.
While venturing the area, Xie saw a floating island and curiously asked Jin Tong. Jin Tong was shocked how Xie found out about the floating island since it was hidden by a camouflage and illusion but he remembered that his martial soul was his eyes, it is reasonable since it is one of the characteristics of a eye martial soul.
"Ahh, the floating island is where the Council of the Academy stayed. They are also the highest decision making body of the academy, specially the President, his words are absolute." Jin Tong explained.
"Is the President that strong?" Xie curiously asked. Jing Tong sighed and answered his question.
"I do not know, but base on some information about the President, he is a Level 97 with a title of Star Saint Artists. With his ability to borrow the power of stars to predict, he was able to become the top Control Master. As for his power, let us only imagine it since we may not even have a chance to see his shadow." He answered and they continue their walk.
They ended up in a restaurant, Jin Tong invited them to eat and said that it will be his treat and considered as welcoming party to the most kind and humble top rankers he met.
