Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had many geniuses.
Some were lone wolves, while others traveled in groups.
Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy allowed students to establish societies, so long as their nature did not violate the academy's rules. Thus, although the academy was filled with geniuses, even geniuses were divided into leaders and followers.
Without a doubt, among these several hundred new students around Lu Yuan and Qing Yan Jing, the two of them were the absolute leaders. For those new students who had been beaten into submission, as well as those who had chosen Qing Yan Jing's side from the very beginning—who could barely be considered their own people compared to those who submitted later—considering Lu Yuan and Qing Yan Jing's opinions before taking any action was an instinct this world had given them.
Survival of the Fittest.
Since they were weak, they should not think about going it alone.
Especially after submitting.
Any action taken without asking for instructions could be seen as a betrayal of disobedience.
Of course, that was assuming the leaders were present.
If the leaders were absent, there was naturally no need to go out of one's way to seek their instructions.
Thus, after Instructor Gongsun left, the several hundred new students did not panic. Instead, they instinctively gathered around Lu Yuan and Qing Yan Jing, seemingly waiting for instructions from their nominal bosses.
There were many things that could be arranged.
The most basic was where they would live.
Although their Spirit Value Plates had not yet been delivered, so they naturally could not speak of having any spirit values, and although the new students' dormitories were obviously all Rank C rooms in the outer area, with no rent to pay, choosing a place to live was still important. The environment around every room differed.
