"Alright, your registration information has been recorded. Here are your Martial Soul certificates."
At the registration office, after the two teachers had recorded Lin Ye and Tang San's information, Director Su handed their Martial Soul certificates back to them.
After seeing Lin Ye and Tang San put away their Martial Soul certificates,
Director Su bent down again, took out two bundles from beneath the desk, and handed them to Lin Ye and Tang San.
"These are the daily necessities provided by the academy free of charge, including academy uniforms and toiletries. Your dormitory is Dormitory Seven in the dormitory building east of the teaching building. Once you get there, the academy will arrange work for you as Work-Study Students."
Director Su spoke again.
"Thank you, Director Su."
Taking the bundle, Lin Ye politely thanked him.
Beside him, Tang San, who had also received a bundle, thanked him politely as well.
Because Director Su had spoken up for Grandmaster earlier, Tang San had a fairly good impression of him.
"No need to thank me. Alright, go on now. Remember to study hard."
Director Su smiled and waved his hand, while Lin Ye and Tang San turned and left the registration office.
After leaving the registration office, following Director Su's directions, Lin Ye quickly found the dormitory building on the eastern side of the teaching building.
There were not many tall buildings in all of Nuoding Academy, and since Director Su had already given them the direction, it was easy to identify.
Having found their destination, Lin Ye immediately headed over, with Tang San following behind him.
After walking down a corridor, passing through a small grove shaded by lush trees, and crossing a cobblestone path, the two finally arrived before the dormitory building.
The dormitory building before them had six floors. From left to right, the doors were marked Dormitory One, Dormitory Two, and Dormitory Three.
Thus, Lin Ye immediately guessed that Dormitory Seven should be in the seventh dormitory room, and it should be on the third floor.
Lin Ye therefore took the lead toward the stairs, and after climbing two floors, they finally reached the third floor.
The moment they reached the third floor, the sounds of children laughing, playing, and shouting came from down the corridor. Lin Ye turned to look and saw that the first dormitory room in sight had a plaque engraved with the words Dormitory Seven.
So this is Dormitory Seven?
"Come on, let's go over."
After saying this to Tang San, Lin Ye walked toward Dormitory Seven.
Tang San, meanwhile, looked around and observed his surroundings, falling slightly behind Lin Ye.
Perhaps because there were no other dormitories on the third floor besides Dormitory Seven,
with all the children from Dormitory Seven inside, the corridor was quite quiet. Thus, when Lin Ye stepped into the corridor and his footsteps rang out, Dormitory Seven suddenly fell silent.
"May I come in?"
Arriving at the entrance to Dormitory Seven, Lin Ye knocked on the door and asked calmly.
"Huh? It's not a teacher?"
A surprised voice suddenly came from inside Dormitory Seven, followed by a collective sigh of relief.
"Come in."
Hearing the response, Lin Ye pushed open the door and entered, with Tang San following him inside.
The scene inside Dormitory Seven immediately came into Lin Ye's view.
It was a very spacious room, covering roughly three hundred square meters. Rows of beds had been placed inside, numbering more than fifty, but fewer than half had bedding on them.
At that moment, seven or eight children were sitting on the beds, all watching Lin Ye and Tang San as they entered.
The seven or eight children varied greatly in age, ranging from six to eleven or twelve. This was clearly a mixed dormitory.
"Are you new Work-Study Students?"
After sizing up Lin Ye and Tang San, one of the older-looking children among the group spoke up.
Perhaps because Lin Ye was particularly eye-catching, seeming to have a higher status, and because his bearing was so composed, the older child focused all his attention on Lin Ye.
"Yes, we're both Work-Study Students. My name is Lin Ye, and he's Tang San. We're both from Holy Soul Village."
Lin Ye nodded calmly, briefly introducing himself before pointing at Tang San and introducing him as well.
"Hello, I'm Tang San."
After Lin Ye finished introducing them, Tang San smiled and greeted them.
"Lin Ye, Tang San? Alright, I'll remember that."
After hearing their introductions, the older child nodded.
"Alright, since you've introduced yourselves, it's my turn. My name is Wang Sheng. My Martial Soul is the Battle Tiger. I'm a future Battle Soul Master, and I'm also the boss here!"
The boy named Wang Sheng stood up from his bed. As he introduced himself, he threw several punches and kicks.
When he mentioned that his Martial Soul was the Battle Tiger, Wang Sheng directly summoned it.
A pale yellow tiger phantom suddenly emerged from his body, then let out a roar. A faint wave of Soul Power immediately swept outward, carrying an inexplicable sense of might.
Yet Lin Ye's expression remained completely unchanged.
Noticing that neither Lin Ye nor Tang San had been intimidated by his Martial Soul, Wang Sheng's eyes filled with surprise.
"Alright, I've introduced myself. You introduced yourselves too, but you didn't state your Martial Souls. That's against the rules. Introduce yourselves again using the format I just used."
Wang Sheng withdrew his Battle Tiger Martial Soul and spoke.
"There's a rule like that?"
Tang San was somewhat surprised.
However, Lin Ye calmly held his bundle and walked toward an empty bed as he said indifferently, "My name is Lin Ye. My Martial Soul is the Begonia Flower."
After Lin Ye placed his bundle on the bed, Tang San finally came back to his senses. Smiling, he said, "My name is Tang San. My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass."
"Are you two joking?"
But after Lin Ye and Tang San finished their introductions, Wang Sheng suddenly burst into laughter as though he had heard something incredibly funny.
"One Martial Soul is the Begonia Flower, and the other is Blue Silver Grass. Aren't those both Trash Martial Souls that can be found everywhere? It's truly strange that they can even possess Soul Power!"
"Since both your Martial Souls are Trash Martial Souls, I won't need to waste much effort on you. From now on, you two are my underlings. Whatever I say, you do. Got it?"
Upon learning of Lin Ye and Tang San's Martial Souls, Wang Sheng put his hands on his hips, pointed at Lin Ye, then Tang San, and spoke arrogantly.
"Sorry, I only want to study the knowledge of Soul Masters here. I have no interest in being anyone's underling."
In response to Wang Sheng's words, Lin Ye's expression remained unchanged.
He merely opened the bundle he had brought, took out the toiletries inside, and neatly arranged them on the table beside the head of the bed.
"What? You actually dare ignore the boss!"
Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, the other children immediately began shouting and clamoring.
"Boss, this guy doesn't know what's good for him! He dares ignore the rules of Dormitory Seven. Let him see how powerful you are!"
"Hmph! You look so delicate, like some noble, so you probably don't have much strength. Your Martial Soul is trash too, yet you still dare act so arrogantly. I'm making you my underling. What are you going to do about it?"
Urged on by his underlings, Wang Sheng snorted coldly and walked straight toward Lin Ye, reaching out to shove him.
