Chapter 34: Enrollment Arrangements
Lei Bao called in his secretary and had her take Yu Tianlin to the cafeteria for dinner.
He could have arranged special treatment for Yu Tianlin, but since Tianlin had come to Thunder Academy as a student, it was impossible to keep treating him like a young master of the sect. Eating in the cafeteria was the best way for him to quickly adapt to the academy environment.
By the time Yu Tianlin returned to the dean's office, the sun had already set and Lei Bao had finally finished dealing with the day's affairs.
"Yu Tianlin, you're back."
Seeing his secretary bring Yu Tianlin in, Lei Bao asked, "How was it? Did you enjoy the food?"
Yu Tianlin replied politely, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Lei. The food at Thunder Academy is very good."
"You will get used to it."
After saying that, Lei Bao handed a document to his secretary. "Handle everything according to this."
"Okay."
The secretary took the document, skimmed through it, then turned to go carry out the instructions.
Watching the secretary's retreating figure, Yu Tianlin asked curiously, "Uncle Lei, what was that?"
"Your information," Lei Bao laughed. "I asked him to complete your enrollment procedures, and to arrange your class and dormitory."
Yu Tianlin quickly followed up, "Uncle Lei, I suddenly transferred into Thunder Academy. Which class will I be placed in?"
"Little Tianlin, let me explain the student structure of our Thunder Academy first."
Lei Bao patiently introduced, "Students are divided into three levels according to their spirit power. Levels twenty one to twenty five are the Thunderclap Level, which is considered the lower grade. Levels twenty six to thirty are the Thunder Shock Level, the middle grade. Those at level thirty and above form the highest grade, the Thunder Level."
Hearing this, Yu Tianlin became even more confused. "Uncle Lei, I remember that students at an advanced Spirit Master Academy can graduate after breaking through to level thirty and adding a spirit ring, right? Why does our academy have a separate tier for those above level thirty?"
Lei Bao explained, "You remember correctly. According to the official rules, students can apply for graduation once they reach level thirty one. However, many did not apply and chose to stay at the academy instead. So we had to open another grade for them."
Yu Tianlin still could not understand. "If they can already graduate, why stay at the academy?"
"Of course, it is to participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament," Lei Bao said with a smile. "If ordinary Spirit Masters graduate quietly, it does nothing good for their future development. Even if they join some power, their starting position will not be high and they will have to struggle on their own to climb up."
"But participating in the Spirit Master Competition is different. Thunder Academy has achieved excellent results every time, so as long as a student can make it onto the competing team, even as a substitute, it becomes a shining line on their resume. If someone is strong enough to stand out in the competition, their value will naturally skyrocket."
Yu Tianlin nodded in understanding.
No wonder Lei Bao had said that deciding the lineup for the Spirit Master Competition was troublesome. It involved the vital interests of many students. All those above level thirty who stayed in the academy definitely wanted to participate, but the number of spots was limited, so fierce competition was unavoidable. In the end, they would probably have to fight to prove who was strongest.
"Alright, that is still too far off for you."
Lei Bao brought the topic back. "Our Thunder Academy currently has more than four hundred students. The largest group is from level twenty one to twenty five, over two hundred people. They are divided into five classes, with about forty students in each."
"I have arranged for you to join Class One. Although the spirit power levels are about the same, the students in Class One are generally a bit stronger than those in the other four classes, and the teaching staff is also relatively better."
Yu Tianlin immediately understood. Class One was clearly the so called top class, while the other four were regular classes.
Lei Bao continued, "As for accommodation, the usual arrangement is the dormitory building, one person per room. However, your grandfather wrote in his letter that he wants you to stay next to the lightning rod."
"You know what a lightning rod is, right? Our academy has four of them, placed at the four corners of the campus. They attract lightning during storms, increasing the concentration and activity of lightning attribute energy in the academy and making it easier for students to cultivate."
Yu Tianlin naturally knew all about lightning rods. He had been relying on them for cultivation for the past two years.
"I roughly understand what your grandfather means." Lei Bao sighed lightly. "The lightning attribute energy around the lightning rods is denser and more suitable for cultivation. But the thunder and lightning are very loud. If you rest there at night, it will be quite noisy."
"It is fine, Uncle Lei," Yu Tianlin said casually. "Ever since I awakened my martial soul, I have rarely slept. I spend almost every night in meditation."
"You cultivate that diligently. No wonder you have already reached level twenty two at only eight years old."
After praising him, Lei Bao added, "But do not worry. In addition to arranging the southeast lightning rod for you, I have also prepared a dormitory room. At night, you can choose whichever place you prefer."
Satisfied with Lei Bao's arrangements, Yu Tianlin thanked him. "Okay. Thank you, Uncle Lei. You have really gone to a lot of trouble."
"Now that I am done with my work, come on, I will show you around the academy so you can familiarize yourself with your classrooms and dormitories."
With that, Lei Bao led Yu Tianlin out of the dean's office and down the stairs.
The teaching building covered a wide area and had four floors. The dean's office and the other teachers' offices were all on the fourth floor. The classrooms occupied the three floors below.
They passed straight by the third floor. Lei Bao stopped on the second floor and walked to the door of a classroom. On the nameplate beside it were the words "Thunder Shock Level, Class One."
"This is where students from level twenty six to thirty study," Lei Bao said. "Your cousin Yu Tianxin and my son Lei Tian are both in this class."
Yu Tianlin asked, "What level are Cousin Tianxin and Brother Lei Tian at now?"
"Yu Tianxin is at level twenty eight. My son, Lei Tian, is also at level twenty eight, but he is two years older than him."
Yu Tianlin knew his cousin well. Yu Tianxin was currently thirteen and at level twenty eight, and would likely be fourteen when he broke through to level thirty.
Through Yu Tianxin, Yu Tianlin also had a rough idea of his older brother's current strength. Yu Tianheng should also be at level twenty eight. The two had never been far apart in cultivation. Yu Tianxin was one year older, so he always broke through first, but his elder brother Yu Tianheng would definitely catch up within a month.
As for Lei Tian, the son Lei Bao had mentioned, he was two years older than Yu Tianxin, which made him fifteen. If he could break through to level thirty before turning sixteen, his talent could be considered quite good.
