“Alright, alright.” The bald old man then continued, “Since you’re here, that means you have all been assessed and checked multiple times, with no promising ones left out.
“Now, it’s for the assignment! From the best results!”
His gaze then fell onto Shalom, Mylissa and Lin Sheng at the front.
“All of the workshops are located within the interior of Carte nche’s Ville de nc. And next, I suggest that you choose a workshop that is best suited to your requirements.
“The workshops are divided into three levels. Level 3s are the highest, and they’re usually led by the best of lecturers.
“Level 2s are led by your normal lecturers, and Level 1s are led by tutors or some short-term experimental workshops.
“Now, of the three most excellent students, Shalom has already applied, so it’s down to you two, Mylissa and Lin Sheng.”
The old man looked at them both and pointed.
Two jets of green light shot out andnded on their table. Rows upon rows of words appeared on Lin Sheng’s table.
“Level 3 workshops: Thousand Serpents, the Crystal Staff, The Silent Volcano, and the Soul Fortress.
“Level 2 workshops: The House of Palmisar, Secondary Thousand Serpents, Secondary Crystal Staff, Secondary Soul Fortress, The Hundred Footmen, The Behemoth, The Blood Army...”
Lines upon lines of workshop names appeared on the surface, but Level 1 workshops were not even disyed.
Lin Sheng did not see any requirements or prerequisites either. Clearly, for top-tier students like them, they had no restrictions in terms of their choice of workshops.
Lin Sheng pondered a bit and smiled gently as he carefully asked the bald lecturer.
“Sir, can I know, of the Level 3 workshops, who is the most aplished and powerful of lecturers?”
The bald old man shrugged and did not answer.
Mylissa sniggered as she let out a dismissive sneer. She was clearly amused by Lin Sheng’s immature question.
“If he were to answer your question directly, it’s considered cheating.” She then added.
“But I just came from Xylond, and I’m quite clueless...” Lin Sheng said helplessly.
“Then just choose at random. They won’t be terrible,” Mylissa simply answered. She had little time to waste on a country bumpkin from Xylond.
She was, after all, determined to get into the ss of the strongest lecturer, and this information, she had already scouted out beforehand, and of the avable choices this time, the strongest one was...
She took up her pen and tapped gently on the table.
All of the words on the table shrank and turned into a green light the moment she made her choice and flew towards the hand of the bald lecturer.
Lin Sheng smiled as he retracted his gaze, and lifted his pen as he activated his weak dark powers from his body and infused the pen with it, before tapping on the same workshop Mylissa had chosen.
*Whoosh.*
“The Soul Fortress Workshop” disappeared long the rest of the words.
He did not mind what sort of development he was going to progress towards, what he mind was to make contact with the highest possible level.
And based on Mylissa’s character, she would not choose anything but the strongest workshop. Based on this sort of proud bratty attitude, if she had the choice, not choosing the best would be illogical.
And time soon passed as a hum rang out as lines upon lines of green light returned to the bald old man’s hand.
He then took out a list and counterchecked them quickly before ticking on it.
When he saw both Lin Sheng and Mylissa chose the Soul Fortress, he nodded slightly and did not say anything else.
“Alright, the selection isplete. Your afternoon is free, and you’ll head to your respective workshops the next morning to report yourself.
As for how you would get there, there’ll be someone to bring you over. So you just need to wait outside the main hall tomorrow at seven. Good luck you all of you kids. Goodbye.”
The bald old man said in a rushed tone as he packed up and darted out of the ss. And just as he got out, he raised his hand and shouted.
“Quickly! Book a ticket for me this afternoon! I’ve already packed up!”
He shouted as he ran, and soon he disappeared at the end of the corridor.
“He seemed to be very busy...” Lin Sheng smiled.
“In Carte nche, everything has a price and a payment. Freedom means you don’t have many responsibilities. That applies to you and the lecturers as well,” Mylissa simply added.
“I saw you chose the Soul Fortress?” Shalom walked over and sneered. “Right, only the people of the Soul Fortress could ignore the pressure from that side, and ignore the problem your sister had made and shield you.
“Frankly speaking, though, I’m rather impressed by your courage.” He left after he spat that out.
Mylissa sat there coldly without a word. The moment Lin Sheng saw that scene, he was slightly more curious about the Soul Fortress and was slightly more interested in Mylissa as well.
It seems like this bratty girl had some baggage with her the moment she enrolled.
In three short days, he had gone through the enrolment and had selected his preferred workshop, and Lin Sheng could tell that the real deal, was only going to start at the workshop.
...
*Hiss...*
The faint Ashen Seal in Lin Sheng’s mind lit up in pure white light. He had already stepped into Level 6 of his sacred power and was getting to Level 7 at a blinding speed.
Level 6 orded him a simple increase of his sacred power’s capacity while Level 7 would allow him to learn a brand new divine art. As for what it was, Lin Sheng had no idea.
He only had a rough idea from the cleric’s memories, and the moment he had absorbed the Night Lord’s fragmented soul, his sacred power rose dramatically alongside his soul.
*Tick tock, tick...*
The rm he had set rang and Lin Sheng was roused from his meditation and opened his eyes in the dark.
“I’ll probably be able to hit Level 7 in half a month’s time... and the further I get, the Crag Dragon’s blood’s potency increase lessen, and my sacred power level is probably already a proper warrior’s level...”
He sighed and got off his bed. Looking at the sky outside, it was starting to get bright.
He quickly washed up and changed up before going downstairs and waited before the main hall.
Many had already arrived much earlier and all of the students were somewhat nervous, even Shalom and Mylissa.
No one spoke and the atmosphere was tense. A few looked up at the school gate as anyone who made their way through it would attract the attention of the crowd there.
Lin Sheng simply stood at a corner as he quietly waited for the person in charge to arrive.
Soon, it was seven o’clock, and the first person in charge arrived.
It was a thin, pallid man in a white cape. He had a yellow leather case in his hand as he walked toward the students.
“Those of the Soul Fortress,e with me.”
Lin Sheng and Mylissa walked over to the man at the same time.
“Mylissa and Lin Sheng, right?” the man mumbled.
“Yes.” the two answered at the same time.
Mylissa gave Lin Sheng a surprised nce, she clearly did not expect him to choose the same workshop as her.
“Let’s go. I’ll exin the rules as we walk.” The man turned away and walked out of the school, not even bothering to look at the rest of the students.
Both Lin Sheng and Mylissa quickly followed suit.
“The lecturer’s temper is horrible, so the first rule is, no matter what the lecturer says, do not talk back.”
Mylissa clenched her teeth but did not say anything while Lin Sheng simply just nodded.
“Next, you need toplete the daily mission assigned to you. That’s mandatory. Failing that will earn you a strike, and you will be expelled after three strikes.”
The two had no qualms there.
“Thirdly, the experiments of the workshop would need your close cooperation. And there’s an element of danger to it, so both of you will need to sign a waiver and disimer beforehand.”
