Since Ye Ling could skip grades, it was certain that he would move from the first-year Vermilion Bird Class to the second-year Vermilion Bird Class. There was no doubt about it.
Vermilion Bird Academy had a rule: students in the Vermilion Bird Class were not permanent fixtures. If they couldn’t maintain their excellence, they might be demoted to the Elite Class or even the Common Class.
Those who could enter the second-year Vermilion Bird Class had all undergone various trials and excelled in their first year to earn their place.
Now, out of nowhere, a transfer student had suddenly appeared. Not only that, but he was a male student who had just entered the academy.
This made some of the Vermilion Bird Class students feel somewhat uncomfortable.
It was mainly a sense of imbalance.
They believed that Ye Ling hadn’t gone through the same rigorous training and yet could directly skip to the second year, and even into the Vermilion Bird Class. How could they accept that?
Although the matter wasn’t settled yet, many second-year students had already started speculating.
Since Ye Ling had only been at the academy for about a week, many things were still unclear.
From the second year onward, the top ten strongest students in the grade would gradually be determined. These ten would receive corresponding resources from the academy based on their rankings.
However, the rankings were not fixed; they had to constantly face challenges from other students.
If they failed, their position would be taken by someone else.
The second year was truly the time for fierce competition.
In the first year, the focus was more on training and peaceful development.
Currently, the first place in the second year was Zhao Siyu, who was at the Second Rank, Eighth Level, with formidable strength.
She had two spiritual pets, one at the Second Rank, Eighth Level, and the other at the Second Rank, Fifth Level.
Such strength was not unique to her in the second year.
The second-ranked Yang Qianxue and the third-ranked Wu Xuan were not far behind her in strength.
Therefore, the three were always in a competitive state, sometimes swapping places in the top three, but most of the time, Zhao Siyu held the top spot.
The three of them also saw the news on the official forum, and their attitudes varied greatly.
Upon seeing the news and the discussions below, Zhao Siyu, who had just returned from a mission, smiled.
“Hehe! This is getting more interesting. Ye Ling, huh? The only male student at Vermilion Bird Academy, and now he’s even skipping grades. How interesting.”
With a standard oval face, soft eyebrows, and naturally large eyes that always squinted into slits when she smiled, she wore a pair of light blue rimless glasses.
She gave off the impression of a very shrewd woman.
As for the other two, Yang Qianxue showed no reaction to the news and simply scrolled past it.
She wasn’t interested in Ye Ling; her only interest was in getting stronger and maintaining her first-place position.
Not long ago, she was in first place, but Zhao Siyu defeated her, forcing her to step down to second place.
The last of the three, currently ranked third, Wu Xuan, frowned when she saw the news on the official forum.
Wu Xuan had no good feelings toward Ye Ling.
Wu Xuan was similar to Zhang Shengnan, whom Ye Ling had known before, both being more masculine in demeanor.
With a short ponytail, thick eyebrows, and piercing eyes, just looking into her eyes made one feel she was not someone to be trifled with.
In Wu Xuan’s view, Ye Ling shouldn’t have entered Vermilion Bird Academy, and the academy shouldn’t have recruited him.
After all, Vermilion Bird Academy had never recruited male students, and breaking this rule made Wu Xuan uncomfortable.
Being a relatively traditional person, Wu Xuan believed that rules should be strictly followed.
Since Ye Ling was the one to break the rules, or perhaps the rules were broken for him, how could Wu Xuan have any good feelings toward him?
When Ye Ling joined the academy, Wu Xuan felt uncomfortable, but since they weren’t in the same grade, she couldn’t do anything about it.
But now, with rumors that Ye Ling was skipping to the second year, how could Wu Xuan sit still?
He had just enrolled and was already breaking the norm by skipping to the second year. This was another breach of convention.
Closing the news on the official forum, Wu Xuan muttered to herself.
“Ye Ling, if you really skip to the second year, don’t blame me for being unkind to you.”
Wu Xuan clenched her fist and punched the nearby Red Maple tree hard.
“Rustle, rustle!”
The red maple leaves fell, rustling to the ground.
At the Second Rank, a Spirit Tamer could not only receive feedback from their spiritual pets but also learn their skills.
Wu Xuan’s punch clearly showed her strong physical capabilities.
It was likely that her spiritual pet had a strength-based nature.
…
Back to Ye Ling, after following Hong Xiu for a long time, they finally arrived at the office of the teacher in charge of the second year.
Having been a teacher at the academy for so many years, Hong Xiu was familiar with every corner of the academy.
Ye Ling finally met the new teacher who would be responsible for him.
