Chapter 7: Assigning Dormitories

"Everyone, fall in and assemble!"

Seeing the principal walking over with a group of teachers, Long Yang shouted loudly at the students who had just experienced a battle.

After all the students were lined up neatly, the old man walked to the front of the formation and said in a calm tone.

"Greetings, Psionics. I am Ma Fengtian, principal of the 23rd Branch of the Lingnengzhe Xuexiao."

"The Psionics who have come to me this year seem very powerful. In previous terms, no one was able to defeat the purple robot, yet this year, two students actually cooperated to defeat it."

"Over the next year, you will learn at this school how to make your Back Spirit exert greater power and how to perform Gathering Spiritual Power to increase your Spiritual Power storage."

"Teacher Long Yang, form the top twenty students on the leaderboard into a class tomorrow, and you will be responsible for training them."

"Yes, Principal." Teacher Long Yang replied, a serious expression appearing on his face.

"I hope you can cherish this opportunity and strive to improve your strength," Principal Ma Fengtian continued. "Remember, the cultivation of Spiritual Power cannot be achieved overnight; it requires persistent effort and constant self-challenge."

"Yes, Principal!" the students responded in unison, their faces showing determined expressions.

"Good, dismissed!" Principal Ma Fengtian said finally.

The students dispersed one after another, and the teachers began to take out lists and call the students belonging to them to their sides.

"Yingzhou, Su Miao, Tan Xiaotong..." Long Yang called the top twenty students on the leaderboard to his side.

"From today on, I am your instructor, which is to say, your teacher. I am Long Yang, a former Captain of the Human Alliance 3rd Assault Team. I retired due to injury and came here to train new Psionics."

"Today, I will take you to find your dormitories. Because you are the newcomers in the top twenty of the leaderboard, your dormitories are not together with the other students. Follow me."

After saying this, Long Yang turned around to lead the way.

"Good brother, I knew that with those few soldiers of yours, getting into the top twenty of the leaderboard would be easy." Bai Tao happily patted Yingzhou on the shoulder in the line.

"Yingzhou? How did you get into the top twenty?" Tan Xiaotong also came to Yingzhou's side at this time to ask.

"Good luck." Yingzhou looked straight ahead and replied blandly.

"Pfft..." Su Miao, who was drinking water, was choked by Yingzhou's words. "Cough, cough, cough... Hahaha. Sorry, I just thought of something very funny, you guys continue."

Yingzhou: "..."

The twenty students were led by Long Yang to a dormitory building that was not very tall. "Your information has been entered. Each of you can enter once you find the room corresponding to your ranking. This is your ranking; find your corresponding dormitory yourselves. Tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock, assemble at the training ground on time!" Long Yang pointed to the electronic screen in front of the dormitory building, finished saying what he had to say, and left.

After Long Yang left, the 20 students, except for Yingzhou and Su Miao, all scrambled to the electronic screen to check their rankings.

"Aren't you going to check your ranking?" Su Miao asked with a smile.

"No need, I am definitely first. As for you, are you sure your ranking is definitely second?" Yingzhou put his luggage on his back and walked into the dormitory building.

The environment inside the dormitory building was very tidy and clean, giving people a comfortable and pleasant feeling. In the central area, there was also a public living room for students to rest, socialize, or study. Yingzhou found his dormitory according to the sign, stood in front of the room door with the number 1 written on the doorplate, and then waited quietly.

Suddenly, the camera installed on the door began to flash and emitted a slight sound, indicating that it was verifying the identity of the visitor. After a while, a "click" sound rang out, and the door automatically unlocked and slowly opened.

Yingzhou carried his luggage into the dormitory and found that the space here was quite spacious and bright. The room was furnished simply and elegantly, but without losing a sense of warmth. In addition, the dormitory was equipped with an independent bathroom and restroom, which made Yingzhou feel very satisfied. In this way, he could arrange his daily life more freely without worrying about time conflicts with other roommates.

Yingzhou put his luggage on the floor, looked around the room, and then walked to the window and opened it to let fresh air flow into the room. He took a deep breath, feeling the freshness brought by this new environment.

Yingzhou also began to organize his luggage. He put some commonly used items on the bedside table so that he could use them at any time. Then, he walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside, his heart filled with expectation and longing.

Meanwhile, over at the leaderboard outside.

"Yingzhou is in first place!" Bai Tao stared wide-eyed at the leaderboard, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and checked again to confirm it was Yingzhou.

"How is this possible!"

"Isn't his Back Spirit only E-Grade?"

"Exactly! How is even Su Miao ranked second!"

The surrounding students all made sounds of disbelief. Tan Xiaotong looked at the two characters "Yingzhou" on the electronic screen, and the expression on her face was very complex.

She didn't know how Yingzhou managed it, but judging from the results, Yingzhou had indeed done it, and in an astonishing way at that.

"Who exactly is this Yingzhou?" someone asked curiously.

"I'm not sure either, I've never heard of this person before," another person replied.

"Don't you know? He is that person from Xizhou District who awakened the Random Summoning Behind-Spirit," someone explained.

"What! A Random Summoning Behind-Spirit! How is that possible!" another person said incredulously.

Listening to these discussions, Tan Xiaotong thought to herself: This guy Yingzhou must have secrets; I must find a way to get them out of him.

She had always been confident in her own strength, but after seeing Yingzhou's ranking, she had to admit that she had underestimated this guy who used to revolve around her.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Yingzhou withdrew from the state of Gathering Spiritual Power, discovered through the camera at the door that it was Bai Tao, and walked to the door to open it.

"Yingzhou! How did you manage to beat Su Miao by 95 points! Too awesome!" Yingzhou heard Bai Tao's voice the moment he opened the door.

"Alright, come in and talk." After letting Bai Tao in, Yingzhou closed the door again and walked to the water dispenser to pour a glass of water for Bai Tao.

"What are you doing? The students outside want to organize a party tonight, are you coming?" Bai Tao took the water Yingzhou handed him and asked.

"A party? No interest. My primary goal now is to increase my Spiritual Power limit." Yingzhou sat cross-legged on the bed to the side and replied.

"Eh? You've changed your personality? How come you've started diligently Gathering Spiritual Power?" Bai Tao looked at Yingzhou sitting cross-legged on the bed in surprise, as if looking at a stranger. "Speak! Who exactly are you, and where did you tie up my good brother! My good brother wasn't like this before!"

"Get lost! The past is the past, and now is now. Can't I be interested in Gathering Spiritual Power now, buddy?" Yingzhou looked at this guy who was acting like a drama queen and said irritably.

"Hahaha, fine! Then I'll tell them you're not coming. Tan Xiaotong is also going, are you sure you're not coming?" Bai Tao added one last sentence, his eyes fixed on Yingzhou's expression.

"What does her going have to do with me? If there's nothing else, I'm going to start Gathering Spiritual Power. If you're free, you should also do more Gathering Spiritual Power. Who knows, on the battlefield in the future, you might just be missing a sliver of Spiritual Power?" Yingzhou instead began to advise Bai Tao.

"OK, OK, I'm leaving now." Bai Tao raised his hands in surrender and left Yingzhou's room.
