Under Xiao Lins forced assignments, they managed to get everything done within a night. Of course, there were those who had complaints in their hearts, but Xiao Lins assignments were actually very fair. He assigned everything based on everyones attributes and skills. After all, if someone who was primarily focused on physical strength went for the magical scrolls course, they probably would not pass anyway.

The next day, Xiao Lin brought the finished form for the class over to Year Leader Chen Yu, who was still serving as the temporary year leader for the first years for the time being. Once he received Xiao Lins forms, Chen Yu praised him with some surprise. Class Seven is quite fast. Youre the first to hand in the forms. Alright, Ill hand the book lists over to you. To accommodate the change in syllabus, the school has opened up the rights to certain parts of the library to all you new students. Get your classmates to go borrow the related books.

The other classes were actually still a mess at that moment. Just like the problem Xiao Lin had encountered, not many of them were willing to choose the tiresome or troublesome subjects, especially the women. The monitors were all under pressure to try and convince their classmates. They were not stupid, and could naturally see the benefits that distributing the courses evenly could bring, but that was still contingent on the other parties agreeing.

Xiao Lin acted decisively. He did not have the patience to argue with the rest of them, so he just used his power to force the assignments. The matter had naturally exploded in the forums, causing quite a few complaints, but it was quickly forgotten because Class Seven quickly experienced the benefits of submitting their courses earlier, which was that they got access to the library before anyone else.

Dawn Academys library was extremely large, and the books were very comprehensive. There were also numerous copies of even basic books, but even with the numbers, it was hard to provide enough for everyone, so the people with prior access naturally had the advantage.

When the last few classes submitted their forms, it was already the evening. Xiao Lin had thought about looking for Song Junlang, but was told that Department Head Song was not at the academy, and would be gone for a long period of time.

Xiao Lin regretfully instead headed to the student union to look for Wang Yuelan. It was not the first time he went to the student union, but Wang Yuelan had spent most of her time on Earth before this, so the two of them had yet to meet up.

Xiao Lin had naturally gone there for matters related to his admission notice. Wang Yuelan sent away the other department members in the office before closing the door, smiling bitterly as she shook her head. I had originally wanted to retrieve your admission notice from the Central Computer, but it surprised me when the notice had been classified as top-security. It seems to have been set by the dean, and I have no power to look at it.

Its just a notice. Is there a need for secrecy? Xiao Lin could not understand either.

There really is no need. These things have never been secrets, and anyone could look at them. Yet youre the only one who has his classified. It means that only the dean and the members of the high council have the authority to read it! Wang Yuelans eyes shimmered with curiosity. Junior Xiao Lin, Im getting more and more interested in you now.

Ahem, your words are easily misunderstood!

Wang Yuelan laughed, noticing that Xiao Lin did not want to continue on the topic, and decided not to press the matter. It had to do with the dean, so it definitely was not something she could interfere with.

How goes your support class choices? I was just notified as well. The change in your coursework for your year is pretty drastic, and I think youll all be very tired from it.

I did not choose one.

Huh?

Yes, I have not picked one just yet because Im not sure if Ill have the time. Its fine. When I want to, I can just listen in on the classes anyway. Alright, heres my notice of admission. Ill be off now.

Wang Yuelans thoughts were still in disarray when Xiao Lin bid farewell. Of course, it was hard for her to understand how the only student with the rights to freely attend classes felt.

Xiao Lin did have a lot of freedom. His special rights allowed him to bypass the complications of picking his classes. He could just listen in on anything he felt like, whenever he felt like it. Other than that, considering that he often left for the New World, the student union had long since been used to his flexible timetable.

However, the student union president could not resist the urge to give Xiao Lin a call that night. On the magical screen, the presidents doll-like face was quite frustrated. Even so, you cant just not pick anything. You wont have enough credits like this.

Xiao Lin actually had some questions he needed to ask, and Department Head Song was not in the academy, so he took the chance to ask the president. President, what are the requirements for my attributes if I wanted to reach Bronze rank?

Youre planning on hitting Bronze? The president was not surprised, but he still furrowed his eyebrows with worry. Are you sure its not too early? Bronze requires your total attributes to hit 300, but I need to remind you, rank does not equate to skill.

Xiao Lin replied, I know, attributes only represent the basic composition of someones body, but the distributions of attributes and experience in battle would still cause differences in skill.

The president said meaningfully, Its good that you understand. The Inter-academy Tournament will be held at the end of the year. Weve already talked about it last semester. The list is already set, and youre definitely in it. Furthermore, I should also let you know that the selection of the year leader will be done after the tournament. You should understand what I mean by that.

Xiao Lin paused before nodding thankfully.

The situation in the New World is complicated at the moment, but you dont have to give it much thought. However, I hope that we can achieve good results during the Inter-academy Tournament this time. The dean hopes so as well. No matter what, were the oldest colonial academy. If the old tigers dont show their power, others might think our foundations are weakening and that we can be toppled easily!

Alright, thats all for now. Basically, you need to work hard. The dean and I will provide you with all the help we can. I hope you have a good semester.

The president did not have any intention of continuing. He did not wait for Xiao Lin to reply before hanging up.

However, Xiao Lin could more or less guess that the relationships between the academies were beginning to turn distant. They had never stopped with their little conflicts, but those conflicts had never disrupted the harmony. Yet, something must have happened to cause even the usually friendly president to express such obvious anger.

The president sat on the sofa deep in thought after hanging up. He only turned his head around after a long time, looking at the man standing next to him, saying, The Central Computer notified me this afternoon that someone from the recruitment department called Wang Yuelan seemed to be trying to retrieve admission notices for the first years?

The man was the head of recruitment. He looked much more mature than the baby-faced president in his suit, yet in front of the president, he was shaking with fear, not daring to show the slightest bit of carelessness. He hurriedly answered, Yes, yes, there is someone like that. She is my assistant. Shes very sincere and hardworking. The dean has even praised her before.

Right. The president did not address that, instead saying coldly, Tell her to not touch the matter anymore. Otherwise, what awaits her is punishment from the academy!

The man acknowledged it with a head full of sweat. The president might have said it with a kind smile, but when he decided to be strict, no one could take it easily.
