Jiang Jing said indifferently, "We're waiting. Get lost and go line up."

After the fat guy left, still cursing under his breath, Liu Bin said, "Tch, isn't he just relying on being fat? He thinks that means he can cut in line? What a joke. Does he even know what era this is?"

Once they got inside, Liu Bin lowered his head and asked worriedly, "Brother Jing, that fatty isn't going to bring people over to beat us up, is he?"

Jiang Jing glanced at him. "That wasn't the attitude you had just now. You got scared that fast?"

Liu Bin chuckled. "There were so many people watching. If I chickened out, wouldn't that have been humiliating?"

Jiang Jing said, "Relax. People like him only bully the weak and fear the strong. Even if he dares to bring people over, he has to see whether he has the strength for it."

Liu Bin said, "True. I forgot that you used to learn martial arts and free fighting, Brother Jing."

"Oh, right. Our Grade 11 PE classes seem to be starting martial arts and Fighting lessons too. I should study hard when the time comes."

Liu Bin was right. Jiang Jing had indeed learned martial arts and free fighting before. During summer breaks, Jiang's Mother and Jiang's Father had felt that staying home all day wasn't a good idea, so they arranged for him to train at martial arts gyms run by relatives and friends.

Over the years, his skill had only reached the level of an amateur enthusiast, but combined with his current physical fitness, taking on a few ordinary people would not be a problem.

Now that humanity's limits had been broken, traditional martial arts had begun to burst forth with new vitality. In this world, traditional martial arts were no joke—they were the real deal, not something like Lightning Five-Strike Whip.

Jiang Jing seemed to have some impression of that person from earlier. He appeared to be a Grade 12 student, the kind of "boss" who had gained some fame in his previous life by relying on his obese body to gain an advantage in fights.

But that was all. He had not feared people like that in his previous life, much less now.

The class placement list had been uploaded to the class group chat two days ago.

A total of nineteen students from their Grade 10 Class 3 had chosen Spirit Studies, making it the class with the most students. The other classes only had around ten each.

Jiang Jing, Liu Bin, Cheng Cheng, and Yao Yuan had surprisingly been assigned to the same class.

The class assignments for Spirit Studies each year were determined by the number of students who chose it, but the general trend was that there were more and more students every year.

The previous cohort had 513 students choose Spirit Studies, divided into roughly thirteen classes.

This year there were even more—565 students, divided into fourteen classes. No. 8 High School truly had a lot of students. Even with only around ten students from each class choosing Spirit Studies, there were still more than five hundred in total.

Jiang Jing and the others had been assigned to Grade 11 Class 9. No. 8 High School's placement system was said to be based on students' overall grades, mainly using the average scores from the Midterm Exam and Final Exam.

The academic performance of each class could not differ too much, or it would be unfair to the other students.

However, the Pokémon-related knowledge taught in Grade 11 involved actual combat.

Everyone's strength was different. It was said that by Grade 12, the gaps between students would become exceptionally large.

The classes would be reorganized once more, and some students would give up Spirit Studies and return to studying the arts or sciences.

The remaining students would be ranked by their results, and the strongest students would be placed into a separate elite class to make a full push for the nation's prestigious universities.

The two of them returned to the dormitory first, packed up their luggage and bedding, and moved them into the Spirit Studies dormitory.

No. 8 High School had been continuously expanding in recent years, and the main areas being expanded were all for Spirit Studies, such as the New Dormitory and new teaching buildings.

The new dormitory was south of Jiang Jing's old dormitory. The Spirit Studies dormitory was also called the New Dormitory, and they were assigned to Building 2.

The moment they entered Building 2, they could feel how completely different it was from the other dormitories. It was like entering the lobby of a hotel. Although there was no front desk, there were sofas and chairs in the lobby, as well as vending machines and water dispensers.

There was even a café, where several people were already sitting leisurely and drinking coffee.

Liu Bin widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Damn, Brother Jing, life in Spirit Studies is pretty good. I'm already looking forward to it before we've even entered the dormitory."

"I heard that the Spirit Studies dorms are all single rooms. One dorm is basically a suite that can house four people, with each person having their own room. And the most important thing is, there's air conditioning." By this point, he could no longer suppress his excitement.

Jiang Jing pointed ahead. "Huh, there's even an elevator. Spirit Studies and the other subjects really are like two completely different worlds."

The two entered the elevator and pressed the button for the third floor. Class 9's dormitories were all on the third floor.

When the elevator doors opened, they saw a hallway covered in wallpaper. The floor was laid with white tiles, making it look clean and bright, just like a hotel.

The two walked down the hallway, and the third room they came to was their dormitory—303.

They took out the key cards issued by the school. This was another thing better than elsewhere; they could enter just by swiping a card.

The first things they saw upon entering were the sofa and television in the living room, followed by a shoe cabinet.

Liu Bin exclaimed, "Holy crap, this is way too luxurious! It even has a TV and a sofa."

After saying that, he ran inside and looked around everywhere. Jiang Jing, who had set down his suitcase and bedding behind him, also began to inspect the place.

The entire suite consisted of one living room, four bedrooms, and one bathroom.

The air conditioner and washing machine were all provided, and there was also a fairly large balcony. From above, they could clearly see the students walking below.

After casually looking through one of the bedrooms, Jiang Jing found a large bed, a desk, and a wardrobe. The space was quite large too. He nodded in satisfaction.

Liu Bin called loudly from outside, "Brother Jing, let's hurry up and pick the good rooms first."

He then chose a room near the balcony. From his window, he could see the students on the street outside, which suited his gossip-loving nature quite well.

As for Jiang Jing, he chose the room opposite Liu Bin's. It also had a windowsill and better lighting. The other two rooms were slightly darker. After choosing their rooms,

the two began cleaning. It was obvious that although the dormitory had been cleaned, no one had lived there for two months, and quite a bit of dust had accumulated.

Half an hour later, the door suddenly opened, and a thin boy wearing Glasses walked in. His features were somewhat delicate.

Seeing Jiang Jing and Liu Bin cleaning inside, he smiled and greeted them. "Hello, brothers. My name is Sun Le. I was in Class 2 before. We'll be roommates from now on."

Liu Bin said, "I'm Liu Bin, and this is my Brother Jing, Jiang Jing. I think I know you. I've seen you among the top twenty students in our grade."

"Oh, right. Hurry up and choose a room. If you wait any longer, there won't be any left to choose from."

Sun Le nodded, then carried his luggage and picked a room near the hallway.

When he came out, he had a rag in his hand. "I'll help clean up too."

Another hour passed. Just as they had nearly finished cleaning, their last roommate finally arrived late.
