The next day, when Amon and the others arrived at the Northern Academy again, the Dean of Education, Zhu Youzhi, wore a completely different face.
"Oh, isn't this the three students from before?
"I'm sorry, it was my mistake before. I rejected you because of some unfounded rumors.
"Now it has been verified that it was completely fabricated. I apologize to you." Zhu Youzhi bowed deeply to them, lowering his stance.
"Heh... Fatty, your attitude has changed quite quickly."
Yan Jin wanted to mock him, but Amon stopped her with his hand.
"Director Zhu, we are also responsible for causing such a misunderstanding. I'm sorry for taking up your time... Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, shouldn't we also enter the normal enrollment process?"
"Okay, it's great that student Amon is so reasonable. Your enrollment materials have all been approved. Do you three have any requests? I can decide to let the three of you go to the class you want."
Seeing that Amon was so easy to talk to, Zhu Youzhi obviously breathed a sigh of relief and said with a bit of flattery.
The Northern Advanced Soul Master Academy is divided into three grades. Those who have just enrolled for less than a year or whose soul power does not exceed level 20 are in the first grade; those who have been enrolled for more than a year and whose soul power is between level 20 and level 30 are in the second grade; and those whose soul power exceeds level 30 are in the third grade.
The maximum age for students is twenty-five. If they are over twenty-five years old and their soul power has not reached level 30, they will be advised to withdraw and will not be awarded a graduation certificate.
Conversely, as long as their soul power reaches level 30, they can choose to graduate at any time.
Most of those who exceed level 30 do not choose to graduate immediately, but continue to study at the academy for a period of time until they are close to the age of twenty-five.
One is that the academy has strong teachers, and the other is for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition. In addition, they can meet more talented students and expand their network.
"Arrange us all in the third grade, in the same class as Bi Da'er," Amon said.
Zhu Youzhi rubbed his hands, looking a little embarrassed.
"Is there a problem?" Amon asked in confusion.
"It's like this. According to the academy rules, you all have to stay in the first grade for a full year. It's no problem to go to any class in the first grade, but Bi Da'er has been promoted to the third grade this year. The third grade is not within my responsibility. It requires Director Yu's approval.
"I think this is a bit difficult. Director Yu is more rigid. She hates students who obtain special treatment through personal connections.
"According to the information I received, you are already above level 30. Even if you haven't stayed for a full year, it shouldn't be a problem to go to the third grade, but Yan Jin and Lei Yin... their soul power levels have not met the requirements, she may not be willing to let go."
"Surname Yu? Is it the 'Yu' I know?" Amon raised his eyebrows.
Zhu Youzhi nodded and said, "Yes, Director Yu's full name is Yu Xinxue. She is a collateral member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, so she doesn't have to look at most people's faces. Even the principal has little restraint over her.
"Although there have been precedents of people entering the third grade without enough soul power before, that person passed a relatively strict test before gaining Director Yu's approval."
"Test?" Yan Jin raised an eyebrow. "I said, aren't you going to make things difficult for us again?"
She is now quite disgusted with this word.
Zhu Youzhi said with a smile, "How is that possible? That lord instructed me to give you as much convenience as possible in the academy. How dare I disobey?"
"Hmph... The old man's name is quite useful." Yan Jin doesn't respect Walter very much at the moment. Amon's analysis made her understand that this apprenticeship has a hint of coercion.
But she doesn't hate it either. After all, Walter is really generous to her. Even she, who doesn't like to study, seems to have fallen in love with the classroom.
Walter's teaching ability has been unanimously recognized by Amon, Yan Jin, and Lei Yin.
"What test?" Lei Yin asked.
They came to the Northern Academy mainly to obtain the qualification to participate in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, so it would be more convenient to enter the third grade as soon as possible.
"Defeat a third-grade student at the Soul Elder level," Zhu Youzhi replied. "Well, there is still room for manipulation. We can imply that the student participating in the assessment should give way a little."
To his surprise, Lei Yin and Yan Jin didn't look worried at all.
"That's it?" Yan Jin crossed her arms around her chest, looking indifferent.
Lei Yin smiled, "The difficulty seems to be lower than I thought, as long as it's not a Soul Elder like Mr. Amon."
"It seems that the two of you are very confident. You are indeed people taken care of by that lord." Seeing the two of them so confident, a relaxed expression also appeared on Zhu Youzhi's face.
Just arranging an assessment, Yu Xinxue wouldn't even deny him this bit of face.
"Amon, Yan Jin, Lei Yin... What are you doing?" Bi Da'er, who was passing by, saw the four of them and greeted them.
"Oh, Golden Hair, our matter has been resolved. The enrollment procedures have been completed. Only an assessment is left before we can go to your class," Yan Jin said with a smile.
Bi Da'er looked surprised, "Come to our class?"
"Yes, I will apply to Director Yu for a special grade promotion assessment for these three students. Then you will be classmates," Zhu Youzhi said with a smile.
"Uh..." Bi Da'er felt that the situation was a little wrong. Why did Zhu Youzhi refuse to let them enroll the day before, and now he is starting to run errands for them?
He could sense Zhu Youzhi's friendly attitude towards them, even a bit respectful.
Without dwelling on this, he had no intention of delving into it, and said enthusiastically:
"Coming to our class, that's great... I was also just promoted to the third grade this year. Our class teacher is also the third-grade Dean of Education, Teacher Yu. She is a great beauty, and she is also one of the only two Soul Emperor-level teachers in our academy."
"Have you fought with the others in your class? What is their strength like?" Yan Jin asked the question she was most interested in.
"I said, I was also just promoted to the third grade. Although I had contact with them before for the team formation for the intra-academy selection competition, I rarely fought head-on."
Bi Da'er was worried that Yan Jin would be careless during the assessment, and added:
"Don't underestimate others. Before, when I fought with you, I was also a Soul Elder. You may not be able to win against me now.
"The academy regularly organizes personnel to help students who have reached the requirements to obtain soul rings, so the third soul ring of third-grade students is basically at the thousand-year level, which can greatly enhance combat power.
"Don't treat them as those Soul Elders outside whose potential has been exhausted. Those who can come here to study have good talent.
"I could beat some Soul Elders outside when I was a Soul Elder, but if I were to replace them with third-grade students in the Northern Academy, even if they are at the bottom, it would be difficult to remain undefeated."
"Oh... is that so? I see you're getting cocky just because you have an extra soul ring? Do you want to have a fight?" Yan Jin directly challenged.
Bi Da'er shook his head and refused, "You should put all your energy into the upcoming assessment."
Seeing that they had a harmonious atmosphere, Zhu Youzhi said goodbye, "I'll go find Director Yu first. Get along well."
"Alright, alright." Yan Jin waved her hand. She still felt uncomfortable looking at this fat man.
