Li Xiang heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Villette off. His student card hadn't been activated yet. Once it was activated, he would be able to access all the information about himself.
After talking to Villette, Li Xiang learned that the Lighthouse Player University of the Subcontinent implemented a GPA system. At the beginning of each semester, students could log into the Goddess of Calamity's system with their student card and choose the courses they could choose. There was no limit to the number of courses they could choose, but they had to finish them within the semester. Otherwise, they would have to take a make-up exam. If they failed the make-up exam, they would have to start all over again. Or they could give up. If they gave up, they wouldn't be able to study again and their GPA would be reduced to zero.
Every course required a corresponding amount of GPA as tuition fee. Some courses had built-in purchase requirements. If a student couldn't afford the cost of GPA, they would be forced to stop studying.
GPA was a hard currency. In the Lighthouse Player University of the Subcontinent, four years was a process of earning GPA and consuming GPA.
Strong students snowballed year after year, becoming stronger and stronger. On the other hand, students who were in dire straits couldn't afford the cost of GPA. If they didn't have enough GPA for two consecutive semesters, they would drop out and leave.
Every student could choose the way they liked to study. They had full autonomy. Unless it was an activity that was compulsory, most of the time, they could do whatever they wanted.
It was still early. Li Xiang planned to grab a bite. He received a message on his communicator when he was about to leave. His student card had been officially registered.
He clicked on the Goddess of Calamity's system. He could choose to enter the user interface or the student interface.
Li Xiang chose the interface of the Lighthouse of Darkness.
The Lighthouse Player University of the Subcontinent was strange. On the island, all the lighthouses were shining brightly, but the image of the university to the outside world was that of a dark lighthouse.
It was said that the lighthouses would only be lit up when a student could inherit the will of the legendary player Lighthouse.
Back then, the current White King was thought to be the student most likely to light up the lighthouses, but nothing came of it. Many people speculated that the White King, who had always pursued power and power, was unhappy about it. That was why the White King was suppressing his alma mater.
Li Xiang's personal information popped up when he entered the interface.
[Name: Li Xiang]
[School: Lighthouse Academy, Chess Academy]
[Major: Hybrid System, Firearms System]
[GPA: 100]
[Grade: First Year]
[Strength: Level-2 Magic Apprentice]
[Advancement Requirements: Basic Course (0/20), Mixed Course (0/7), Firearms Course (0/3)]
Li Xiang was stunned. Not only had he been taken in by two academies, but he had also entered the Mixed Faculty that Villette had said had no one in more than ten years.
Soon, someone called [Dean of the Mixed Faculty, Jeffrey Lin Hoyton] added him and pulled him into a group chat with only three people.
Li Xiang remembered this name. Wasn't he the current vice-principal?
Hello students, please come to the mixed faculty classroom after dinner. — — Jeffrey.
Only then did Li Xiang realize that there was a second student in the Mixed Faculty other than himself. When he saw the name, he was speechless.
Shizuko Ise.
She was the girl who had been ridiculed by him in the final ranking competition, the girl who wanted nothing more than to kill him to avenge the Eight-Cloud Ruler.
Li Xiang, I will definitely kill you. Shizuko Ise.
Then there was a system notification. [Shizuko Ise has been muted by the group leader for 1 hour.]
You are the only two students in the Mixed Faculty. You have to get along well. See you later, children. — — Jeffrey.
After exiting the group chat, Li Xiang received a friend request from Shizuko Ise. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. This girl was really interesting. However, when he remembered that her family was also one of the Seven Courses of Ancient Martial Arts, Li Xiang hesitated for a while before agreeing.
He thought that she would scold him in private messages. Unexpectedly, after adding him as a friend, Shizuko Ise did not respond.
He got up and prepared to go to the cafeteria for dinner. The cafeteria was right in front of the dormitory building. It was a very strange hexahedron building.
There were many people eating in the cafeteria. There were seniors wearing all kinds of school uniforms and a large group of freshmen who had just arrived. The freshmen, in particular, were obviously very excited. The freshmen of the same faculty gathered together in twos and threes. The seniors, on the other hand, were eating alone. They usually occupied inconspicuous corners.
He casually ordered a few dishes. Fortunately, the food here did not cost points. It could be bought with Blue Astral Coins. There was a GPA exchange machine in the cafeteria. One contribution point could be exchanged for 11 GPA points.
Li Xiang carried his plate and found a place not far from the freshmen. He could eat while listening to them talk.
He lowered his head so that he would not be recognized. After all, he was the fourth in the final ranking. He was quite famous among the freshmen.
From their conversation, Li Xiang learned that his student ID was related to the number of freshmen. This time, the university had recruited 16585 freshmen. Among them, 2147 were from the Lighthouse Academy, 8,566 were from the Torch Academy, 3,922 were from the Chess Board Academy, and 1,950 were from the Beacon Academy.
Every academy and the total number of freshmen had reached a record high. It was said that the reason for the expansion was to find more talents and to maintain the position of the Chronometer Tower Consortium University.
After all, the Lighthouse Academy of the Subcontinent District had been at the bottom of the Chronometer Tower Consortium University Rankings for many years now.
When the rankings were changed at the beginning of the year, the Lighthouse Academy would probably be at the bottom again.
Even so, the Lighthouse Academy still occupied a lot of the Chronometer Tower Consortium's resources. Many rising stars were dissatisfied. The university was under pressure. Naturally, the first thing to do was to recruit students.
Also, the academic efforts of each grade had been improved.
The requirements for the freshmen in the first semester were five basic courses and one specialized course. This year, however, one specialized course had been added.
Li Xiang was speechless. Shouldn't there be twenty basic courses? Shouldn't there be ten specialized courses?
His head was full of question marks. It turned out that he was under much more pressure than the others!
The freshmen didn't dare to talk too much about obscure things. Most of them talked about historical events, which senior was prettier, which senior was more handsome, who had the highest combat strength at the moment, which teacher's courses were easier to learn and easier to pass, and so on.
These things were not what he wanted to hear. Li Xiang cleaned up the plates and left the cafeteria after he was done.
He had thought that coming to the university with 1000 contribution points would give him a good start, just like Villette had said. It seemed that the university had expected this and was determined to squeeze him dry.
But this was good too. He had been having a headache about how to continue his firearms studies after enrolling in the Lighthouse Academy. Now, he could also study in the Chess Academy's Firearms Department.
What Li Xiang was least afraid of was hard work and high-intensity studies. He would seize every resource available to him. This was probably a different mindset brought to him by his background.
He looked up. In front of him was the entrance of the Lighthouse Academy's teaching building.
It was simple and magnificent.
