Chapter 72: Frustration and Discontent
Chapter 72: Frustration and Discontent
When Wang Chen and Xiao Qing were taking an afternoon nap.
Many freshmen were also arriving at the school to complete their registration.
Exclamations of surprise were frequently heard at the freshmen registration area.
“Wow! Isn’t that the top scorer of Dian Province, Cao Wenbin? Didn’t he say he was applying to Mosters Academy? Why did he come to Xuanyuan Academy?”
“Hah! Don’t you know? Because Wang Chen beat up a prospective sophomore from Mosters Academy, that school became a laughingstock, causing many students who initially wanted to apply to Mosters Academy to change their minds…”
“This year, the number of students applying to Mosters Academy is probably going to be lower than usual.”
“Huh? Isn’t that… Shen Miao?”
“Shen Miao? Who’s that?”
“Brother, are you too uninformed? Do you know the Shen family from Tianchuan Province?”
“Ah! The Mechanical Family, the Shen family!?”
“Exactly! She’s the daughter of the Shen family with the title of Mechanical Genius Girl, and she’s also the top scorer of Tianchuan Province!”
“Besides her, look at that guy over there who looks like a cold CEO. Do you know who he is?”
“Who?”
“The fourth son of the local sword god family in Fengtian Province, Meng Yongsheng! And he’s also the top scorer of our Fengtian Province!”
“Wow…!”
“Don’t rush to gasp, there are also some top talents from various provinces among the freshmen. This year’s freshmen are undoubtedly the best in terms of quality.”
“Damn! Luckily I’m not in the same year as them, or my ranking would definitely be at the bottom!”
“…”
These second-year volunteers received five top scorers in just one afternoon.
Provincial top talents were even more numerous.
The key point is…
Among these freshmen, the lowest level is above 55!
The highest is the top scorer of Fengtian Province, Meng Yongsheng, at level 68!
Only two levels away from this second turn Sword Hero entering the ranks of third-turn Sword Saints!
The other four top scorers are also not bad!
Cao Wenbin, the top scorer of Dian Province, level 65 Great Mage.
Shen Miao, the top scorer of Tianchuan Province, level 64 Mechanical Pioneer.
Feng Yurong, the top scorer of Tianbei Province, level 65 Dragon Blood Warrior.
Huang Fan, the top scorer of Shen Province, level 66 Beast Master.
All have completed their second turns.
Looking at it this way…
Xuanyuan Academy has recruited a total of six top scorers.
And the lowest level among them is Wang Chen, at only level 40, who hasn’t even completed the second turn trial.
Yet…
He was ranked first among freshmen by the five deans!
Clearly.
In the eyes of these five deans, the strength of the other five top scorers is not as good as that of the top scorer of South State!
This…
“Are the deans out of their minds?”
“Or do the deans have a grudge against Wang Chen?”
“Why do you say that?”
“Look… the deans put Wang Chen in the first place for the initial ranking, but his level is the lowest. Not to mention compared to the other top scorers, he’s at least ten levels behind the other provincial top talents.”
“So what? Didn’t Wang Chen beat up Ba Quanming? His strength is more than just level 40, right?”
“Hah! That Ba Quanming was a bottom-ranked student, and you’re comparing him to this year’s freshmen? These freshmen are even stronger than me, a second-year!”
“This is obviously a setup! Just wait… these proud freshmen will definitely blow up when they find out that Wang Chen is ranked first!”
“Heh heh, let them blow up. I can’t wait for them to start fighting! I’m getting my popcorn ready, this is going to be a show!”
“…”
Just as these second-year volunteers predicted.
At five in the afternoon.
A total of 1,100 freshmen had completed their registration.
Then, according to the initial ranking, they were assigned to one of the four dormitory areas.
Soon, there were complaints.
“Wait…”
“I, Wang Zhigang, ranked twenty-fifth in Ximo Province, am assigned to the B area, while someone ranked seventy-second in Shen Province is assigned to the A area? What’s going on?”
“Exactly! We are all provincial top talents, why do they get to live in luxurious single rooms while we have to share?”
“Is this initial ranking messed up? How could I be ranked outside the top five hundred?”
“…”
In fact.
The accommodation conditions at Xuanyuan Academy are quite good.
The S area has standalone villas.
The A area has standalone exquisite small buildings.
The B area has luxurious single rooms.
The C area has high-end double rooms.
The double rooms also have luxurious layouts with two halls and four rooms.
But as the saying goes.
It’s not about having less but about the inequality.
Everyone came from all over the country as provincial top talents.
Why should you live in a luxury villa while I live in a double room without a competition to decide?
These freshmen don’t care about the initial ranking.
Because they know it will definitely be rearranged.
But the problem is…
Before the rearrangement, you can’t assign accommodations based on the initial ranking, right?
It’s unfair! And people won’t accept it!
Those ranked below eight hundred feel they should be in the top five hundred at least.
Those ranked below five hundred feel they should be in the top three hundred at least.
Aren’t they all provincial top talents?
In fact, not only are the freshmen in the B and C dormitory areas unhappy.
The freshmen in the S and A areas are also unhappy.
“Look! The one ranked first, living at the top of the mountain, is not the top scorer of Fengtian Province, Meng Yongsheng, but the top scorer of South State, Wang Chen!”
“Why? He’s only level 40!”
“We’re all top scorers, why is the lowest-ranked one placed first? Are the deans of Xuanyuan Academy out of their minds?”
“This year’s top scorer of South State is only level 40? Is South State really that weak?”
“Damn initial ranking! Hurry up and rearrange it!”
“And that Wang Chen! Get off the first place! Go to the C area dormitory where you belong!”
“…”
Such complaints and grievances continued from the evening until the next morning.
Many freshmen felt extremely frustrated.
The gap is too large.
In their own provinces and cities, they were the kings!
But after coming to Xuanyuan Academy, they became nobodies!
More importantly…
Xuanyuan Academy blatantly ranked a level 40 Beast Master as the first among freshmen.
While Meng Yongsheng, Cao Wenbin, Feng Yurong, Huang Fan, and Shen Miao were ranked second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth respectively.
This raises suspicion…
Could this Wang Chen be an illegitimate child of some high-ranking official in the Dragon Nation?
As one of the five top academies in the Dragon Nation, has Xuanyuan Academy started to play favoritism?
But even so.
These passionate young men and women will not bow to corruption.
Given their family backgrounds, they are not afraid of any so-called favoritism.
“Let’s go to Xuanyuan Plaza! I want to protest!”
“Count me in! I’m coming too!”
“Damn! I’m destined to be in the top hundred, but I was ranked three hundred. I’m not convinced!”
“…”
Thus.
Under the astonished gaze of the second-year students, these angry freshmen formed groups and marched towards Xuanyuan Plaza in a grand procession.
Taking advantage of the opening ceremony.
They collectively protested to the academy’s deans.
And requested a ranking reset!
