Shalom did not come looking for Lin Sheng and had probably forgotten about him .
Lin Sheng did not bother either . He had just got there and did not understand what that organization was all about .
However, what surprised him was that the other students in the class—after some consultation and suggestions by the lecturer—each selected a society or an organization, big or small to join .
Lin Sheng returned to this dorm and started to meditate for a moment before controlling the Thunderbeast over at the Holy Sanctum to settle some piled up paperwork .
As he lay on the bed, he could hear the voices of people within the dorm .
And from the voice, it was that boy, Felle, who had come looking for him before .
That boy lived just right beside him and was seemingly popular as he stood outside for a good hour on the phone, and each call was to placate a girl .
“Sure is nice to be young…” Lin Sheng lamented for some reason .
His current body was also only nineteen years old . He, of course, would have his hormones, and his sexual urges as well, more so due to his Crag Dragon blood .
Nevertheless, for him to control all of these memories before he awakened was not difficult . It’s not that he did not want to look for a girlfriend, rather, every time he thought of it, Khadula’s face will appear in his mind .
As he shuddered and entertained some of his more random thoughts, Lin Sheng collected himself and started meditating again .
Another phone call rang out from outside the door, and the muffled voice and the passing of time slowly drove Lin Sheng to sleep .
Sleeping while meditating was now a normal thing for him now, and the night passed without any dreams .
The next morning, Lin Sheng woke up refreshed and left the dorm to the canteen for breakfast .
There was a large notice board outside the canteen, and on the digital screen was a series of weird workshops and organization names .
Lin Sheng looked over as he passed by, and saw many students gathering before the board .
His neighbor, Felle was there as well . His short brown hair was a little messy as he chatted with a tall girl .
Lin Sheng’s passage too had attracted the attention of the crowd . The freshmen swept their gaze across him from time to time, and some whispered towards each other . This was the reception of the top three, they were always the focus of the crowd whenever they went .
Lin Sheng saw a girl in a white dress walking close to him . Her platinum locks were long and luscious, just like the best roll of silk .
He recognized the person; she was Mylissa, the girl who had come along with him .
Mylissa had noticed him too and did not say anything . But she did give him a curt nod . She seemed to have recognized Lin Sheng somewhat after the earlier assessment .
Soon, she got close to the notice board and seemed to be checking something .
Lin Sheng focused to listen to the murmurs, and a moment later, he let out a faint smile as he walked closer and pushed a few students away to get to the front of the notice board .
“Atelier le chatte: Looking for three strong members . Please apply . ”
“Arcane Thundercloud Workshop: Top-tier Darksiders preferred . Four persons . Please apply . ”
“Miss Dulsa’s Studio: Top-tier Darksiders preferred . Need one additional member . Please apply . ”
“The Titan’s Workshop: Good-tier Darksiders preferred, five members . Any unfilled slots will be automatically assigned . ”
“The Black Chrysanthemum: Strong and determined persons preferred . Ten slots are available . Any unfilled slots will be automatically assigned . ”
Workshops were listed compactly from top to bottom, and Lin Sheng had totally no idea what was what .
He quickly looked at the bottom of the list and noticed that some of the workshops had additional requirements, like being a member of the Darkheart Society, or a member of the Standing Harp Club and the like .
As for those without restrictions, most of them only had limited openings, or requirements so high that it made one’s eyes water .
“If you are a true freshman, I suggest that you select the workshop with the highest possible requirements based on your aptitude,” Mylissa suddenly suggested .
“Why is that so?” Lin Sheng had only just arrived had lacked any understanding of the dark side .
Xylond had little information about the Carte Blanche as well, and the fact that he could obtain a Xylondian recommendation was already a blessing .
He had no time to understand anything else before he was sent there, and this information could not be found online .
Mylissa seemed to have adjusted her view on Lin Sheng because of his aptitude, and she looked up as she spoke with a slight puff .
“It’s no secret that the Carte Blanche’s Crown Academies are not some welfare organization . Every student that comes here to study needs to create value for the school . It’s an exchange . ”
“Very practical . ” Lin Sheng nodded . He did not dislike such a system .
“And there’s plenty of substandard garbage here . ” Mylissa sneered . “The lower the workshop’s requirements, the less you’ll actually learn . Plus, you’ll get worked to death instead .
“On the other hand, the higher the requirements, the more you’ll be able to learn . While it will still be a slog, once you graduate you’ll be in high demand and be able to get better jobs . ”
“This student has explained it well . ” A girl in glasses who overheard Mylissa’s explanation smiled as she interjected .
“You also want to take note that if you don’t have any details about a workshop, or any information about the lecturer’s and tutor’s character, I’d suggest you not to choose randomly, and opt for the automatic assignment instead . ”
“Hmph . ” Mylissa gave a disdainful roll of the eye at the girl and did not say anything else, seemingly considering the latter beneath her notice to even talk .
Lin Sheng however naturally continued the conversation .
“What do you mostly learn in those workshops?”
“This is where the information comes in handy . Mostly, what they teach is what you learn . You don’t have the right to choose anything,” the girl in glasses answered .
Lin Sheng then swept through the notice board again and roughly memorized all of the workshops .
Soon, the classroom bell rang and the students dispersed and returned to their respective places in the classroom .
Lin Sheng, Mylissa, and Shalom’s place were changed to the front most . All of the seats bore the student’s name and they were not allowed to change at whim .
The bald lecturer walked it with a huge stack of paper under his armpit and the noisy classroom quickly turned quiet .
“My schedule is packed today, so let’s keep things short . From now, those who want to apply for their preferred workshops, please raise your hand, and sent the forms to my office later .
“And, who’s looking to be assigned automatically? I’ll arrange the most suitable choice based on your results, from top to bottom . ”
He seemed to be agitated, apparently having something urgent to attend to .
A good number of students raised their hands, and Lin Sheng followed suit . He had no idea about the workshops and might as well just go with the automatic assignment .
But what surprised him was Mylissa chose the same thing as well .
The Shalom guy simply looked at them and sneered before he ignored them altogether .
