Enrollment Arrangements

Lei Bao called over his secretary and had the secretary take Yu Tianlin to the cafeteria for dinner.

In truth, Lei Bao could have given Yu Tianlin special treatment, but Yu Tianlin had come to Thunderbolt Academy to study, and it was impossible for things to go on like that forever. Taking him to eat in the cafeteria could be considered helping him quickly get used to the academy environment.

By the time they returned to the Dean's Office, the sun had already set, and Lei Bao had finally finished handling all his affairs.

"Little Tianlin, you're back." Seeing his secretary return with Yu Tianlin, Lei Bao asked, "How was it? Was the food to your taste?"

Yu Tianlin answered politely, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Lei. The food at Thunderbolt Academy is very good."

"As long as you're used to it." After saying that, Lei Bao handed a document to his secretary. "Handle it according to what's written here."

"Understood."

The secretary took the document, briefly flipped through it, then turned and went to take care of it.

Watching the secretary's departing figure, Yu Tianlin asked in confusion, "Uncle Lei, what was that?"

"Your information." Lei Bao smiled. "I'm having him help you complete your enrollment procedures and arrange your class and dormitory."

Yu Tianlin quickly followed up, "Uncle Lei, since I'm suddenly enrolling in Thunderbolt Academy like this, that makes me a transfer student. Which class should I be placed in?"

"Little Tianlin, let me first introduce you to the student structure of our Thunderbolt Academy." Lei Bao slowly explained, "Students are divided into three tiers according to their own strength. Level Twenty-One to Level Twenty-Five is the Thunder Roar Tier, considered the lower grades. Level Twenty-Six to Level Thirty is the Thunder Shock Tier, the middle grades. Above Level Thirty is the highest tier, the Thunderclap Tier."

After hearing Lei Bao's explanation, Yu Tianlin grew even more puzzled. "Uncle Lei, I remember that students of advanced Soul Master Academies can graduate once they break through to Level Thirty and add a soul ring, right? Why does our academy still divide out another tier above Level Thirty?"

Lei Bao explained, "That's right. According to the rules, students can apply for graduation once they reach Level Thirty-One. But a large portion of students don't apply, choosing instead to stay at the academy, so we had no choice but to open another grade for them."

For a moment, Yu Tianlin couldn't make sense of it either. "Uh, if they can graduate, why don't they? What are they staying at the academy for?"

"To participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, of course." Lei Bao said with a smile, "If ordinary soul masters graduate quietly and unnoticed like that, it won't be beneficial to their future development. Even if they join some faction, their initial status won't be high, and they'll have to slowly struggle their way up on their own."

"But participating in the Soul Master Tournament is different. Our Thunderbolt Academy achieves very good rankings in every tournament, so as long as students can join the participating team, even if only as substitutes, it becomes an excellent item on their record. If a student is strong enough and shines brilliantly in the Soul Master Tournament, their value will naturally soar as well."

Yu Tianlin nodded in understanding.

No wonder Lei Bao had previously said that deciding the participants for the Soul Master Tournament was a troublesome matter. So it turned out to involve the direct interests of so many students. Those students above Level Thirty who stayed at school would definitely all want to participate, but there were only so many spots, so a round of competition was inevitable. In the end, they would probably still have to fight it out and let strength speak.

"All right, these things are still too far away for you." Lei Bao returned to the main topic. "Our Thunderbolt Academy has over four hundred students in total. Among them, those from Level Twenty-One to Level Twenty-Five are the most numerous, with well over two hundred people, divided into five classes, each class having around forty students."

"I've arranged for you to be in Class One. Although everyone's Soul Power Level is 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 relatively better too."

Yu Tianlin immediately understood. Class One should be the so-called elite class, while the other four classes behind it were ordinary classes.

Lei Bao continued, "As for accommodation, it was originally all in the dormitory building, with one room per person. But your grandfather said in his letter that you should be arranged at the Lightning Rod."

"You know about the Lightning Rod, right? Our academy has four in total, standing at the four corners of the academy. Whenever there's a thunderstorm, they can draw down thunder and lightning, increasing the concentration and activity of Thunder Attribute energy within the academy, making cultivation easier for the students."

Lightning Rods—Yu Tianlin understood them far too well. He had been using that thing to cultivate for two years already.

"I more or less know what your grandfather was thinking. It's simply that the Thunder Attribute energy near the Lightning Rod is more abundant and more suitable for cultivation," Lei Bao said. "But with all the lightning and thunder, resting there at night will be extremely noisy."

"It's fine, Uncle Lei." Yu Tianlin said indifferently, "Ever since I awakened my martial soul, I haven't really slept much. Every night, I've spent it in meditation."

"You cultivate so diligently. No wonder you reached Level Twenty-Two when you've only just turned eight." After praising Yu Tianlin, Lei Bao said, "But you don't need to worry. Besides assigning the southeast Lightning Rod to you, I also opened a dorm room for you. When the time comes, you can decide for yourself at night. You can stay wherever you want."

Yu Tianlin was very satisfied with Lei Bao's arrangements and thanked him. "All right. Thank you, Uncle Lei. I've really troubled you."

"I'm done with my work now too. Come, your uncle will take you around the academy and show you the classrooms and your residence."

As he spoke, Lei Bao led Yu Tianlin out of the Dean's Office and headed downstairs.

The teaching building covered a large area and was divided into four floors in total. The dean's office and the other teachers' offices were all on the fourth floor, while the three floors below were classrooms.

They went straight past the third floor. Lei Bao stopped on the second floor, walked up to the door whose nameplate read "Thunder Shock Tier · Class One," and said, "This is where the Level Twenty-Six to Level Thirty students study. Your cousin Yu Tianxin and my son Lei Tian are both in this class."

Yu Tianlin asked, "Cousin Tianxin? Lei Tian? What level are they now?"

"Yu Tianxin is already Level Twenty-Eight now. My son Lei Tian is the same as him, also Level Twenty-Eight, though he's two years older."

Yu Tianlin still knew about his own cousin. He should be thirteen years old now and was only Level Twenty-Eight. By the time he broke through to Level Thirty, he should be fourteen.

Through Yu Tianxin, Yu Tianlin roughly knew his elder brother's current level as well. He should also be Level Twenty-Eight. The two of them had never really pulled apart in level. It was just that Yu Tianxin was a year older, so he could always break through first, but within a month, his elder brother Yu Tianheng would definitely catch up.

As for Lei Tian, the son Lei Bao mentioned, he was two years older than Yu Tianxin, which meant he was fifteen. If he could break through to Level Thirty before turning sixteen, his talent could also be considered quite good.

During the Soul Master Tournament, Yu Tianxin was 19, Yu Tianheng was 18, and Dai Mubai was 17. The current point in time was 6 years before the Soul Master Tournament, meaning Yu Tianxin was 13, Yu Tianheng was 12, and Dai Mubai was 11.

Yu Tianheng's talent was the same as Dai Mubai's. Dai Mubai broke through to Level Thirty at 13, and Yu Tianheng was only 12 at this time, so he clearly was not Level Thirty. Here, he was set as Level Twenty-Eight.
