X-Dragon Era

Looking at the clerk's indifferent and tightly furrowed brows, Xin Yun was taken aback and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, the clerk casually threw the last metal badge in front of Xin Yun while saying, "You have been assigned to the extracurricular Eleven Class; this is your Academy Badge."

Startled, Xin Yun picked up the badge from the table, his face full of astonishment. Had he offended this clerk in the past, or was this person sexist? If it weren't for the fact that the clerk was female, Xin Yun would have even suspected the other party to be some sort of creepy uncle.

While puzzled, Yi Luo Xiang suddenly exclaimed, "How can this be? Why are Qingying and I in the Color One Class, while Brother Xin is in the Eleven Class? We all came from the same selection field."

In response to Yi Luo Xiang's question, the clerk's face quickly brightened, and she said with a smile, "Your score is the best in this realm and even the best in the history of our academy, which is why you have been placed in the Color One Class."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Pointing at Yan Qingying, the clerk continued, "She is the same, although her scores are slightly lower than yours, they are also unprecedented, so she has also been placed in the Color One Class."

Pausing for a moment, the clerk looked at Xin Yun with an indifferent gaze and said, "As for him, it's already not bad that he was placed in the Eleven Class. You should know… his scores are the worst among the thousand students in the entire academy. Even compared to previous students, he would probably rank near the very bottom, so how could he possibly be placed in the Color One Class!"

With the clerk's explanation, the three of them understood that the Combat Dragon Academy had a total of the Top Ten campuses, among which the main campus was in Mountain Sea City, and the other nine campuses were distributed across nine other major cities.

This year, the ten thousand students selected from one hundred selection fields were allocated among these ten campuses, with exactly one thousand in each campus.

Each campus would divide their thousand trainees into ten classes, with one hundred students per class. However, as the main campus, Mountain Sea City had an additional extracurricular class, which consisted of students who had qualified through the resurrection matches from among the one hundred selection fields.

The academy's class assignment was not done arbitrarily, but based on the sum of three factors: talent, aptitude, and potential. The top one thousand could study at the main campus, those ranked 1001 to 2000 at the first branch campus, and so on, with those ranked 9001 to 10,000 studying at the ninth branch campus.

Do not look down upon these rankings. Although they are all part of Combat Dragon Academy, the teaching strength and educational level of the main campus are incomparable to any other campus. Similarly, there's a significant gap between the first and second branch campuses, and the gap continues down the line, making the ninth branch campus the lowest ranked.

Moreover, there are variations not only between different branch campuses but also within the same academy based on performance.

For example, at the main campus, even though everyone's scores are in the top one thousand, these thousand people are further divided into ten classes. The top hundred are in the Color One Class, and without exception, each student in the Color One Class is a genius among geniuses, including Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying.

Beneath the Color One Class, there are the Red Two Class, Orange Three Class, Yellow Four Class, Green Five Class, Blue Six Class, Indigo Seven Class, Purple Eight Class, Black Nine Class, and the White Ten Class.

Even within the main campus of Combat Dragon Academy, there's a vast difference between the resources and education standards of each of the ten classes.

The best teachers, dormitories, canteens and food, and the overall environment—all the best resources are reserved for the Color One Class, and furthermore…within the entire academy, members of the Color One Class enjoy supreme status and a host of privileges.

Based on their class assignment, there is a difference in the Academy Uniform to start with. The Academy Uniform for the Color One Class is composed of red, yellow, and blue—very vibrant and very dignified, symbols of identity and status. Wherever they go within the academy, all others from different classes must give way; this is one of their privileges.

As for other classes, according to the name of the class, everyone's uniform is different. The Academy Uniform for the Red Two Class is all fiery red, and naturally, the Orange Three Class is all orange, and so forth. Similarly, students from a lower status must yield to those from a higher status when they meet.

It is worth mentioning that for Xin Yun, who is part of the extracurricular Eleven Class, the color of the Academy Uniform is gray, and he must yield to everyone he meets.

Beyond just the color of the uniforms, there are major differences from the minutiae of everyday items to the mid-sized considerations such as canteens and dorms, all the way to the classrooms. Take the Color One Class as an example; their classrooms are within a palace, resplendent in gold, with a spacious seat for each individual.

Those who come out of there, if not gentlemen, are certainly dignified and elegant ladies.

As for the extracurricular Eleven Class where Xin Yun is placed, that remains unknown at the moment, as it is a class newly added this year, with the environment not yet disclosed.

Nonetheless, Xin Yun was quite satisfied with the opportunity to join the main campus; one could even say he was incredibly fortunate, as in the past, he wouldn't have had the chance to enter the main academy, not to mention the ninth branch campus.

Some may see such an arrangement as unfair, but within the perceived unfairness, there inevitably lies fairness. The reason for setting up social strata and establishing many privileges is with a single purpose: to encourage everyone to strive harder!

Dissatisfied with your current status? That can change—you can challenge higher-ranked individuals by normal means. As long as you can defeat them, all rights and status of the challenged will be transferred to you, and your original privileges will be inherited by the challenger, effectively switching places.
