CHAPTER 20

 

"I heard that the top 1 in the admission is here, why don't we start with you?" Xu Xin said. Xie stood up and went to the front.

 

"I know some of you might be classmates in other classes, but you still need to get to know each other here and I also need to know my students. Just simply state your name, martial soul and subjects you enrolled, with my level I can discern your level and it will be kept private. However, it must be announced during battles for the monthly assessment." Xu Xin explained on how the introduction about oneself goes.

 

"Good afternoon everyone! I am Li Xie, Spirit Eyes is my martial soul. Mathematics, Language and History are my mandatory subjects. This class, Auxiliary is my sub filed and Control is my main field." He said. Xu Xin was in question why the top 1 student of 1st years took the bottom 3 subjects.

 

"Next the top 2." Xu Xin signaled and Bing Chuan went next.

 

"Good afternoon everyone, I am Chu Bing Chuan, my martial soul is Ice and Fire Hawk. I took the same classes as Xie but I main in Attack." With Bing Chuan's introduction, Xu Xin could not understand why he took Auxiliary class so he asked him a follow up question.

 

"I heard you are close friend with Xie but I did not expect the two of you almost enrolled to same classes. Why so?" Xu Xin asked.

 

"We'll find out after a month." Bing Chuan answered then he smiled and went back to his seat. His answer piqued the interest of Xu Xin. He could not wait to see his performance.

 

Then 3 days went by so fast, they take academic classes every morning and practical classes on sub field every afternoon. Then, Thursday came and it is time for their main field class. Xie went to the classroom where his Control class will be. The room is so big that one would look like a dust if one's point of view is 10 km above.

 

After the clock reach the 7 am mark, a voice sounded in the area checking the attendance of all students. After the attendance was done, a heavy pressure suddenly pressed into them.

 

For Xie, it was only in an instant and he was able to get back on track and become stable. The others are still lying on the ground but half an hour later, they manage to stabilized themselves. The pressure continues for another half an hour.

 

"Good job students. That was to assess your ability if you are really for the control field. The students failed to stabilized on the first 30 minutes are expelled from this class, try enrolling to other fields." The voice said and among the 30 students present 10 of them where guided outside the room. After that, a silhouette of a man appeared.

 

"Good day kids, I am Tai Tan, a level 75 Soul Sage, my martial soul is a Great Ape and I will be your main Control teacher." He introduced himself, he is a really big buffed man with big muscles.

 

"Unlike other classes, I do not need the introduce yourselves because I have already read your informations." He said.

 

"With my way of teaching, the first student or students who are able to stabilized themselves after 1 minute after being hit by the gravity pressure, I will give them a special class with me." Then he went straight to Xie.

 

"With all the years I used this way on greeting the students, student Xie became the first one to be able to recover fast. Before him, the fastest was 55 seconds but he beat it with 10 seconds. So, student Xie, get ready for today's special class." Then he tapped Xie's back.

 

Then he gave handouts to all the students and told them to read and understand the contents of it, he will come back after an hour to test them. Then he took Xie and went to the other side of the room.

 

"Student Xie, I did not expect this result, at most I believed that will recover for at least 30 seconds but you beat my expectation. According to the records, you are at almost level 12 when you passed the admission and I see that you are already at level 16, comparable level to 2nd and 3rd years." Tai Tan said.

 

"I am unworthy of such praises." Xie bowed. Tai Tan laughed with Xie's humble and innocent personality. "Before we begin the special lesson, answer me, what is a Control master?" Tai Tan asked. Xie was shocked by this question but he still answered.

 

"A Control Master oversees the whole battlefield, a commander that can dominate and overpower his enemies with his wit and not by his muscles. A Control Master also has the deepest concern to his members." Xie answered. Tai Tan was amazed by Xie's answer. Although his answer was similar to all he asked, Xie's answer was different.

 

His tone is full of sincerity and passion, it also has the concern. It is true that a Control master is the commander but one wrong instruction may cause a team to lose. That is one of the biggest fears of Control masters, wrong command may cause the team's downfall.

 

After that, they spend an hour of special one on one teaching lesson. Tai Tan's gravity control may be different on how Xie will control, since everyone has a different battle styles, the experience and points to remember are the things that Tai Tan told him.

 

After an hour, they went back to the other students and begin a small test. It is a written test, it simply asked what they have learned in the handouts the Tai Tan gave earlier.

 

On the other hand, Bing Chuan also started with his classes. Unlike to Xie, they did not have the surprise greeting, however, they have immediately a one on one match. Their teacher said that it would be a test on how well that the students understand their martial soul and battle.

 

In the whole class, Bing Chuan is the only ringed student, while the rest are at level 9 or 8, so, the teacher gave him a handicap. Bing Chuan needs to have 2 vs 1 battle and not allowed to use his first soul skill. Bing Chuan accepted the challenge and engage in the battle. The one who engage in a battle with Bing Chuan are the 2 nobles who laughed at them during the admission, they ranked 3rd and 4th . Them being a level 9 thinks that they have a chance since Bing Chuan already has a handicap.
