After all, not just any fly-by-night school could join the Academy Alliance. To receive an Advanced Soul Master Academy rating, both the teaching staff and the school's facilities had to meet the minimum standards set by the Academy Alliance.
Yet given Shrek Academy's godforsaken state, forget an Advanced Soul Master Academy rating—even the standards for a Primary Soul Master Academy were beyond it.
The Academy Alliance naturally did not recognize fly-by-night schools like Shrek Academy. Not only would it refuse to protect their interests, it would resolutely crack down on them.
In the Academy Alliance's eyes, the so-called teachers at those fly-by-night schools were all bastards who swindled people out of their money and ruined their students' futures.
Although that statement sounded somewhat absolute, it could not be considered wrong in Douluo Dalu.
After all, more than ninety-nine percent of fly-by-night schools in Douluo Dalu that lacked the Academy Alliance's recognition really were scams.
If they merely ruined their students' futures, that would still be tolerable. The real problem was that some fly-by-night schools used the banner of Soul Master Academies not only to cheat people out of money, but sometimes even to prey on them sexually, severely tarnishing the reputation of countless Soul Master Academies.
For that very reason, the people of the Academy Alliance loathed those unqualified fly-by-night schools.
