Chapter 152: Admission

A middle-aged teacher in a white robe stood up and told Lin Xing with a smile, "High lightning element affinity and strong spiritual power. Lin Xing, we at Half-Moon Academy welcome you." The teacher was quite excited to see Lin Xing's excellent aptitude. Although the students at Half-Moon Academy all had unusual talent, few possessed aptitude as outstanding as his. Moreover, Lin Xing's spiritual power was immense enough to withstand the old man's spiritual pressure for so long—such a performance was rare even within the entire Half-Moon Academy. And now, Lin Xing had demonstrated it.

Half-Moon Academy? What did it represent? It represented the top academy across the entire Kasla Continent.

Graduating from it meant that even an ordinary member could easily become a count in a kingdom. Outstanding students would even be earnestly invited by the Four Empires. Thinking of this, Lin Xing couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. Even with his current status and position, he was indifferent to imperial recognition. However, after all, Half-Moon Academy was the continent's most prestigious institution. Graduating from here could fulfill a personal wish. Students who graduated from here were proud, for they had reason to be proud.

Moreover, although many from across the continent entered Half-Moon Academy each year, only a handful managed to graduate. The graduation requirements of Half-Moon Academy were far too stringent. Even some figures of genius caliber wouldn't dare claim they could graduate quickly from Half-Moon Academy.

All students who entered Half-Moon Academy could be called geniuses! But those who could graduate were geniuses among geniuses. Of course, lifespans in this world were long, and people didn't mind spending a few extra years studying at Half-Moon Academy to meet the graduation requirements and graduate from Half-Moon. However, for those who didn't want to waste more time at the academy but couldn't graduate immediately, Half-Moon Academy could grant them a completion certificate. After receiving it, they could leave.

Lin Xing was extremely excited inside, but his mind remained exceptionally clear, and he appeared calm on the surface. Lin Xing understood very well that with his current strength, entering Half-Moon Academy was more than sufficient. However, Half-Moon Academy, this already mythologized top academy on the continent, had been a childhood dream for kids across the land—the dream of one day being able to study there. This included Lin Xing.

Now, Lin Xing's strength was already considered formidable on the continent, but he was still very happy to be admitted to Half-Moon Academy. It was the thrill of a dream come true. "Sir, I am honored to become a member of Half-Moon Academy," Lin Xing said respectfully.

The middle-aged teacher in the white robe was surprised by Lin Xing's calmness but continued smiling, "Lin Xing, I will report all your personal details to the academy. Then, you just need to bring your identity proof. After entering the academy, you will undergo another test to officially become a member.

This also helped prevent certain methods of cheating on the test. For example, children of noble families might lack talent in magic or swordsmanship, but they could pay someone to take the test for them. After the test, they would switch places to attend school.

But now, substitution is useless because you still have to be tested again upon entering the academy.

"The academic year has two semesters. The school year starts every September, which is ten days from now. This letter serves as your proof of admission." The white-robed teacher took a letter from his pocket and handed it to Lin Xing.

In fact, after learning Lin Xing's test results, the white-robed man had already filled in Lin Xing's name on the admission letter.

"Thank you," Lin Xing said, accepting the letter.

"And," the white-robed man added, "today is just the test. After today's testing, we will divide you students into several classes. We will announce this information here tomorrow. Then, you can come here to see which class you are assigned to and also to collect the keys to your dormitory, etc.

"However, today, you still need to stay at an inn outside. Tomorrow, we will arrange everything. Remember, you must check the information tomorrow. This is very important."

Lin Xing nodded to show he understood and said, "Then, I'll take my leave now."

The white-robed teacher nodded.

Lin Xing tucked the letter into his robe and strode toward the exit.

The crowded hall, filled with nobles and commoners from the capital, now spontaneously made way for him. Even some nobles wore warm, friendly smiles and greeted Lin Xing with exceptionally good attitudes.

Lin Xing wore an indifferent expression, nodding to them before walking out.

A Half-Moon Academy student—a symbol of status! And based on the strength Lin Xing displayed during the test, he was undoubtedly a genius! Thus, these nobles had thoughts of getting to know Lin Xing and winning him over.

However, Lin Xing currently paid no mind to these nobles. Speaking of them, who could compare to the Right Minister of the Huaxia Empire, one of the Four Empires?

But Lin Xing wasn't an aloof person either; he still smiled at those people.

Under the gaze of a crowd of nobles, commoners, and even some test-takers, Lin Xing walked out of the testing hall.

Once outside the hall, Lin Xing could no longer hold back his smile. Now, he couldn't wait for the school term to start. Academy life—Lin Xing could already imagine how lively it would be. He truly looked forward to it.

For now, Lin Xing still spent the night at the inn. The next morning, he arrived early at the hall from the previous day. He saw many people already gathered there.

Lin Xing knew that was where the announcements were posted.

Lin Xing squeezed through the crowd and saw something like a list posted on the wall. He looked up and saw his name assigned to Class Two. He also saw that all those who passed the test this time were divided into ten classes in total.

Lin Xing saw that each class had about thirty people. After finding his placement, Lin Xing emerged from the crowd. Now, he needed to check how his dormitory was assigned. Looking around, he saw a corner of the hall with several tables. Some people who seemed to be academy students were sitting there. Lin Xing realized it was where dormitory keys were distributed. He walked over and politely said to a beautiful girl, "Excuse me, is this where we collect keys?"

The girl looked up, showing her teeth in a smile, and said, "Yes, it is. Which class are you in? What's your name?"

"I'm in Class One, called Lone Star," Lin Xing replied.

"Wait a moment, please," the girl said, looking down to check. "Lone Star from Class One, your dormitory is Room 501, Building Sixteen. Here is your key. Take it. You can move your things in now." Lin Xing took the key.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, a very surprised voice came from behind. Lin Xing immediately turned to look.
