BXBX NOVEL Chapter 171 - 122: Admission_4
“This…”
Liang Xiao had only meant to test the waters, but the unexpected outcome left him in a quandary. At last, he said, “Then I would like to start studying the art of sword control with Principal Li…”
“Certainly!”
The woman started to register and continued, “We currently offer two enrollment options. The first incurs no tuition fees, but you’ll have to take on many jobs, work diligently for the academy and study frugally. The second involves a fixed tuition fee, sparing you some labor, but you still have a credit requirement to meet, with a certain number of school tasks to complete each month.”
“This…”
Liang Xiao pondered for a while before replying, “May I see what the first option requires?”
“Certainly!”
The woman took out a book, “This contains the details of the requirements. Moreover, regardless of which method you choose for enrollment, you must leave a blood imprint during the registration of your school records, related to curse spells. Should you use your acquired knowledge for evil after your education, the academy will send enforcement disciples to apprehend you.”
“Blood imprint?”
“Curse spells?”
Liang Xiao’s expression grew tense, a bit at a loss.
The woman seemed indifferent, “Whether you accept or not is your decision.”
“This…”
“Your… Young Master, you mustn’t!”
Liang Xiao hesitated, Wuhua was mute, and the coachman beside him repeatedly interjected to dissuade him.
However, with a clenched jaw, Liang Xiao nodded his head in agreement, “I accept.”
“Hmm!”
The woman nodded and took out the registration page.
“Enter and undergo the entrance examination. Once you’ve passed, bring your certificate to register your school records. After registration, you’ll be given dormitory attire and a Jade Slip for student records. In particular, the Jade Slip is your identity proof and credit record; don’t lose it, or you’ll have difficulty moving around within the academy.”
“There’s an exam too?”
Liang Xiao was startled, “Isn’t it said that everyone is taught without discrimination, and all can enroll?”
The woman smiled, “While there is teaching without discrimination, we must know your level before you enroll so we can place you accordingly. If you know nothing and are directly assigned to one of the nine main academies, do you think you could manage and keep up?”
“This… I understand, thank you, senior!”
Only then did Liang Xiao grasp the situation. Disregarding the coachman’s anxiousness, he rose and headed towards the examination area.
“Young Master!”
The coachman was alarmed but powerless, so he could only look to Wuhua, hoping he would say something.
However…
“Name.”
“Wuhua.”
“Gender and age.”
“Male, twenty-eight!”
“Family address?”
“Nomadic, a mere wandering monk.”
“What subjects and field of study do you wish to register for?”
“The liberal arts, agriculture!”
“Alright, proceed to the examination then.”
Wuhua picked up the form and headed towards the examination area, leaving the coachman alone, dumbstruck.
A moment later, at the entrance of the admissions office, Liang Xiao looked at the examination result in his hand, equally silent.
Name: Xiao Liang, assigned academy Shushan’s Affiliated Middle School’s Affiliated Third Elementary School, field of study: Martial Soldier Sword subject!
Wuhua stood beside him, holding a copy of his examination result as well.
Liang Xiao silently put away his own copy and gave Wuhua a smile, “Master is learned and knowledgeable, with profound understanding of Buddhist Law. Surely you must have been admitted into one of the nine main academies, right?”
“Hmm, the main academy of agricultural sciences!”
Wuhua nodded calmly, “Additionally, they have appointed me as a Guest Educator at the Calming-heart Zen Religious.”
Liang Xiao:
In the silence that followed, Wuhua added, “Your Highness has always been intelligent and widely read since childhood. Only due to the lack of exposure to cultivation methods do you find yourself enrolled in a small school. The Soldier Martial Sword Subject integrates both Dao and martial arts. The techniques of controlling weapons and the Flying Sword led to this outcome. Your Highness needn’t concern yourself. After enrollment, strive to catch up and I’m certain you will soon advance to the middle school, then transfer to an affiliate, and eventually ascend to a main academy.”
