Lucy soon arrived at the central office of the Celestial Academy, a grand building teeming with activity. New disciples, like herself, were busy registering and receiving their identification. The air was filled with a mix of excitement and nerves as everyone took their first steps into this prestigious institution.
After a brief wait in line, Lucy stepped forward to complete her registration. The clerk handed her a special ID, marking her as an official outer disciple of the academy.
"Congratulations," the clerk said with a polite smile, though her tone was brisk, reflecting the busy nature of the day. "Welcome to the Celestial Academy."
Lucy nodded in thanks, her fingers closing around the ID. As she moved away from the desk, she overheard a nearby conversation that caught her attention.
"Did you hear? To become an inner disciple, you need to reach at least the four-star tier," one student whispered to another, their tone a mix of awe and determination.
