The road to the left of the sculptures was still very wide, and could fit four or five carriages side-by-side. There was a signboard next to the road with the words 'Lakeside Path' written on it.
You could faintly see a large body of water hidden within the shady green trees to the right. This also meant that there was an enormous lake behind the ten sculptures of the Golden Triangle and Seven Premier Academy's Seven Monsters.
Grandmaster noticed Sai Joshi's gaze, and couldn't help but speak with a slightly proud voice, "That's an artificial lake made for the sake of commemorating our Spirit Vert Sect's ancestor, Arvind. It's called Sea God's Lake, because according to the legends, our ancestor Arvind inherited the Sea God's legacy."
"The Sea God's Lake has an extremely large surface area, and is filled entirely with groundwater. Our Seven Premier Academy's inner courtyard is located on an island in the middle of the Sea God's Lake. Every single disciple from the outer courtyard feels honored if they're able to reach the centre island of Sea God's Lake."
The Sea God's Lake was indeed very large. As they followed the lakeside path to head southward, they only needed to turn westwards after a full fifteen minutes had passed. Only after they'd walked another fifteen minutes or so did the path finally begin to recede, causing a vast, rectangular plaza to appear in their line of sight. A signboard with the words 'Seven Premier Plaza' alsostood beside the plaza.
There were many tall teaching areas behind Seven Premier Plaza. The colours of these teaching areas were all different, and were separated into four main colours—white, yellow, black, and purple. If one gazed into the far south of Seven Premier Plaza, they'd even be able to see a grey teaching area.
Grandmaster pointed towards the teaching areas next to the plaza as he said, "The different coloured teaching areas represent the different years of students, which are differentiated according to the colours of spirit rings. The white teaching areas are for new students, just like the lowest level ten year soul rings. Accordingly, the yellow teaching areas are for the outer courtyard's second and third year students, and the black teaching areas are for the fourth and fifth year students. The purple teaching areas are for the sixth year students. If you're able to leave the purple teaching areas, you'll be able to obtain a graduation certificate from the academy's outer courtyard."
"Those grey teaching areas in the distance belong to the Spirit Engineering Institution. If you compare were to compare their size here, the Spirit Engineering Institution takes up roughly a third of the teaching area, while the Spirit Department takes up a full two-thirds. Besides these teaching areas at the front, there are also many special teaching grounds located in the back, such as the Spirit Dueling Arena, the assessment areas, the dormitories, the teacher's offices, and so on."
The new students' white teaching areas were located to the far south, and were also the closest to the lakeside path. The three of them walked southwards from Seven Premier Plaza, arriving at the teaching area.
Because it was currently the period that new students were admitted in, the new student's teaching area was especially lively. A few new students who'd already passed their assessments were currently there to enroll.
With Grandmaster's guidance, Sai Joshi was able to report for his registration extremely smoothly. The school's fees were paid by Grandmaster, with the fee for a new student unexpectedly being ten gold spirit coins. Furthermore, this didn't include his food expenses. If one had to quit school due to failing an assessment, their school fees wouldn't be refunded.
After collecting his dorm key and two sets of school uniforms, as well as a white freshman badge, Sai Joshi followed Grandmaster towards the new student's teaching area.
Grandmaster said, "Little Sai, the dormitory's behind the teaching areas; it's the largest building in the entire academy. You can go there by yourself later. New students will formally start their classes in three days, so you can familiarize yourself with the environment during the next few days. I have paid for your first year's school fees, but you'll have to rely on yourself for next year. The academy has various types of competitions, all of which have prize money for winning them. Also, you're already a spirit master, so once you finish registering, you can collect a salary that the three empires give out once a month. You should save some of it, but it should be enough for food."
Sai Joshi made sure he remembered everything that Grandmaster said. When he was about to bid his farewells to Grandmaster, Grandmaster looked at the nearby bulletin board and furrowed his brows slightly when he saw the announcement pasted on it.
Sai Joshi didn't need to walk up to it; He merely circulated his soulforce a bit, and the strong visual abilities of his Spirit Eyes exhibited their use, allowing him to see the words on the announcement clearly.
Sai Joshi's mother had taught him how to read since he was young, so although he'd never formally attended school, his education level wasn't bad at all.
He saw the words that were written on the announcement: "Teacher in charge of the class one: Aanya. Teacher in charge of class two…"
Aanya? I think that I'm in class one! Because he'd registered early, Sai Joshi had been directly assigned to the first class of new students, class one.
Near by student had also noticed. He let out a low cry of surprise. "Ah? Why is it that perverted devil, Aanya? Doesn't she teach year three? Why would she be assigned to teach new students?"
Another student smiled bitterly, "I heard that Teacher Aanya was overly strict when she taught the third year students, which resulted in only ten percent of her students being promoted to fourth year students. Furthermore, she was reported by the students to the academy many times, which led to her being demoted to teaching new students. Junior brother, you must be careful. There aren't many monstrous students within the outer courtyard of our Seven Premier Academy, but there are many monstrous teachers. Of them, the worst is this Teacher Aanya."
