Lu Xiao and the others did not participate in the following tests, and went directly to the Academy with Li Qing.
As expected of the Royal City's First Academy, it was unfathomably large.
Inside the Academy's grounds, there were even two mountains enclosed.
"You are part of this year's second batch of new students, so you might encounter some disdain within the Academy, but you'll have to endure it. It's like this every year," Li Qing explained as they walked.
The so-called second batch referred to those not selected during the enrollment at the start of the year.
Inside the Academy, second batch students generally were not looked upon favorably.
But there was no helping it; the aptitude of second batch students really was somewhat inferior.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have failed to be admitted during the first enrollment of the year.
"What if I don't endure it?" Lu Xiao asked.
Li Qing was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.
