Chapter 21: Enrollment Procedures
“This grand hall, as I mentioned earlier, is called the Heavenly Origin Hall. In the future, if you have any questions about daily life, you can come to the front desk here for consultation.”
Rachel led everyone to the front desk while speaking.
There were dozens of front desks in total, each staffed by three workers who greeted Rachel with respectful bows and polite smiles.
“Master Rachel, may I ask if there’s anything you need assistance with?”
“I believe you’ve already been informed. These behind me are new students. Please register them and provide them with their uniforms,” Rachel said.
The three front desk staff immediately nodded.
“Yes, we are already aware.”
“So, it’s up to you next.” Rachel finished speaking and turned to the group behind her, saying.
“Form three lines, orderly report to the front desk. If you have any questions, you can come to me! Understand?”
Facing Rachel’s question, everyone immediately nodded in response.
The blonde instructor nodded satisfactorily, walked to the side resting area, sat on the soft sofa, and opened a magic shadowstone to rest.
“Yuehai, this mentor feels really powerful,” Neruko whispered to Yuehai, looking around cautiously to make sure Rachel wouldn’t hear. Though Yuehai felt it wasn’t good to gossip behind someone’s back, he couldn’t resist asking, “Why do you think she’s powerful?”
“Well, just think about it. Your master, Lord Laogeri, is a demigod skilled in both magic and martial arts. He’s practically invincible among the demigods. And this instructor, she’s also skilled in both magic and martial arts. Though it’s hard to say if she’s a demigod, she definitely isn’t mediocre.”
Neruko’s explanation was too vague, without any basis. What she really meant was that she felt this teacher must be very powerful.
But at this moment, Claude, who had been silent by their side, suddenly spoke up.
“You actually don’t know. This instructor’s primary occupation is mercenary.”
“Professional mercenary?” Damiyala, Yuehai, and the others were all slightly surprised. Mercenaries weren’t unusual, as everyone present had registered as mercenaries at some point. What puzzled them was the term “professional mercenary.” This wording left them confused. Could it be that Rachel’s status as a mercenary is even more prestigious than being a tutor at the Avalon Academy?
Claude seemed to have perceived everyone’s thoughts and continued without beating around the bush.
“I’ve been interested in mercenaries since I was young, so the top few mercenary groups are still vivid in my mind. And Rachel Moremit, also known as ‘Mad Thunder,’ is one of the members of the most powerful mercenary group today, ‘Tianzhao.'”
“Tianzhao Mercenary Group…” Yuehai murmured to himself, feeling a bit familiar. She remembered hearing Mr. Zack mention it before. Thinking of Mr. Zack, Yuehai couldn’t help but sigh again. The failure this time probably wouldn’t be easy to recover from in just a day or two.
“Now that you mention it, I remember too!” Neruko exclaimed excitedly, clapping her hands. Her eyes seemed to sparkle with stars as she looked even more admiringly at Rachel, who was leisurely in the distance.
“Mad Thunder’ from the Tianzhao Mercenary Group is a super powerhouse who can even confront the Demon King alone. Her unique combination of magic and martial arts comprehension is astounding! It’s just a pity I’ve never seen her in person, so I didn’t recognize Rachel as that person right away.”
Yuehai felt that Neruko seemed to have the potential to be an obsessed fan, but it wasn’t something she needed to worry about. Just as Yuehai was thinking this, Neruko, at some point, took out a small notebook and a pen from her storage ring, excitedly saying.
“I want to get an autograph from Teacher Rachel!”
“…” Yuehai was speechless, but at this moment, Claude behind her also timidly said.
“Help, help me bring one too.”
“If Claude wants one too, then the Empress’s autograph is also quite valuable~” Our Empress Xuelian seemed to enjoy Rachel’s fame as much as Claude did, clinging to Claude’s arm and urging him to praise her.
Although Yuehai didn’t see anything wrong with Claude and Xuelian’s behavior, it was glaringly obvious to others. Public displays of affection, coupled with their exceptional talents and beauty, could anything be more enviable?
Damiyala, on the other hand, remained silent, watching Yuehai, Claude, and Xuelian with keen interest. The relationships here seemed quite complex, which intrigued this descendant of the “Arbiter.”
“Please have the next new student come over here,” a gentle voice reached Yuehai’s ears. She turned to see a beautiful young lady at the front desk, smiling professionally at her. However, the lady’s eyes clearly brightened upon seeing Yuehai, evidently impressed by her beauty!
Yuehai immediately nodded and walked over to the front desk, speaking instinctively.
“Hello.”
“Hello. May I have your name, please? If you have a national privilege card, please present it so we can process your enrollment procedures in advance, with assessments scheduled afterward. If you have a national recommendation letter, you’ll be exempt from assessments and can proceed directly with enrollment procedures. If you have followers, please provide their names as well. Afterwards, we’ll need to confirm your name and identity before your registration is considered officially complete. It’s important to note that the strength of your followers must not exceed the Rank of Broken Army, which includes only the Emperor Level and above. Otherwise, you can only become a resident of Avalon and cannot participate in various classes as a student.”
Yuehai suddenly realized. No wonder Damiyala and the others were able to enter without recommendation letters. They must have had national privilege cards. This must be the benefit that Duke Falexis mentioned earlier. Enrolling first before undergoing assessments instantly elevated their status compared to those who had to go through the tests right away. Additionally, those at Emperor Level or higher couldn’t become students. With this, it seemed unlikely that Damiyala and their followers would have any hope.
“My name is Yuehai, and this is my recommendation letter.” Yuehai didn’t hesitate as she retrieved a beautifully decorated red booklet from her storage ring. The receptionist nodded slightly after flipping through it, then continued.
“So, Yuehai, do you have any followers?”
“Well, Noah, come here.”
“Yes, Your Highness Yuehai!” Noah was very excited, but he realized that as a follower, he shouldn’t be too unrestrained, so he tried hard to control his emotions. His flushed face amused Yuehai, who couldn’t help but shake her head and speak.
“You, when did you become so reserved? In Avalon, you’re free to decide whether to soar like a dragon or crawl like an insect.”
“Your Highness Yuehai, no, I…” Noah was about to explain, but Yuehai shook her head, her delicate hand slowly caressing Noah’s head.
“Your journey is still long, and you shouldn’t focus your time on me. From now on, we are friends, and if you’re willing, you can come to me anytime.”
“…” Noah remained silent.
“All right, Yuehai, here is your student ID, and here is Noah’s student ID. Since Yuehai entered with a recommendation letter, there are many benefits available to her at the academy, while Noah is considered a regular student.”
“Thank you.” Yuehai nodded slightly. Then, the receptionist bent down and took out a ring from a drawer, saying.
“This ring has a storage space of one thousand cubic meters. Please take good care of it.” As soon as she finished speaking, she took out eight sets of school uniforms from her own storage ring. While pointing at the flower emblem on the left chest of the uniforms, she continued.
“These eight sets of school uniforms consist of four for summer and four for autumn. The emblem of the ‘Five-Petal Wheel’ on the left chest is the symbol of the academy. Only outstanding individuals who enter through recommendation letters can possess it.”
Yuehai nodded, glancing at the five-petal flower pattern and then at Noah’s uniform, which lacked any distinguishing marks. She couldn’t help but feel that distinguishing those with recommendation letters from ordinary students wasn’t a very good idea.
