Lan Xuanyu picked up an object that resembled a watch from the things he received and flashed it at the door, opening it.

Lan Xuanyu had never experienced the dormitory life. It was an entirely new experience for him.

Upon entering the dorm room, he was welcomed by three high beds that required ladders for access with desks and a cabinet beneath them. The entire dorm room was roughly 20 square meters and was extremely clean. The inner two beds were already covered with bedding, apparent that there were people staying there while the remaining one was left empty.

“You guys from the Elite Junior class live in different dorms. Although everyone is still separated by gender, all of you are allocated at this level. The ladies are on the opposite side while you guys are here. Your rooms are as big as the ordinary junior class six-men dorm, but you have it three to a room. The outer bed and cabinet belong to you. This wristwatch is an internal communications device that contains your identification details. Be it returning to your dorm, entering classes, utilizing the various school facilities or going to the cafeteria to eat, you will need it. As your situation is rather unique, your communication device has a higher extent of power. All the facilities in the school will be free for you, including lunch. That’ll be the institute’s compensation for what things that had happened.”

“Thank you, Teacher Mu.” Lan Xuanyu slapped the device onto his wrist, everything had become more convenient with it.

“Let me run through the current situation for the Elite Junior class. You guys are in the first term in Heaven Luo Institute with a total of 30 students. You are the last to join in. They have already gone through two months of training and have produced remarkable results and grown greatly. Although you are the last to join in, the tester at that time had expressed very high hopes for you.”

“Your class consists of a total of 20 boys and 10 girls. Ye Lingtong from your previous school is within them. You will receive the timetable at noon. Do your utmost to join everyone according to it. The Elite Junior class will go through at least three tests a year. If one fails to meet the mark and starts falling behind. There is the possibility of being dropped out. After all, this Elite Junior class consists only of the geniuses of the various schools. There will be countless representations and competitions for all of you to demonstrate the strength of the school. The institute hopes that your batch will allow our Heaven Luo Institute’s youth class to succeed and earn your own reputation to become the elites amongst elites.”

“Additionally, all of you will enjoy the best treatment in the school, which means all of you will bear the biggest responsibility. All of these are within the school’s plans. When all of you move on to middle school, I believe that the probability of eliminated students will be above 75%, and another half upon moving onto high school. In the end, even a conservative estimate of 10 becoming true elites is considered great. So all of you will undergo extreme hardships in the following years. You best mentally prepare yourself.”

“En.” Lan Xuanyu nodded his head vigorously.

At his age, Lan Xuanyu was unsure of what hardships were and was only filled with curiosity towards the new environment.

“Pack your things and rest for a bit. Now that you’re staying in the dorms, you will have to rely on yourself for everything and also to maintain good relations with your classmates as you will most probably be staying together for the next few years studying and living together.”

“Oh, ok.”

Mu Zhongtian tousled his hair and continued, “I will come back in the afternoon to bring you for lunch.”

“Thank you, Teacher.”

Mu Zhongtian left Lan Xuanyu to explore his room alone. After unpacking his things, he walked over to his roommates’ tables.

On the table to the left were five to six extremely detailed miniature mecha figurines, consisting of not only humanoid mechas but beast mechas as well. Looking at them, Lan Xuanyu thought about his two garage kits. He inwardly decided to display them on his own table during the following week.

The table on the right was far simpler, being far cleaner without even a single book on it. There was only a small flowerpot with a lush green plant with sharp and pointed leaves in the shape of triangles that had barbs on them. One look and Lan Xuanyu knew that obtaining a prick from it would be extremely painful.

“So these are my roommates!”

Lan Xuanyu climbed onto his bed and spread out his own bedsheets. On top, he discovered that his roommates’ beds had tents to separate the two beds, allowing both beds to have their personal spaces. The two tents were identical. He looked around his bed and discovered a button. Upon activating it, the tent emerged and reached the roof of the room, covering the entire bed and leaving only an opening at the stairs.

Despite being made of cloth, it gave him a sense of privacy. The school really thought of everything well!

Upon spreading the bedsheets, lying on his own bed felt rather pleasing.

It might have been the excitement over a new environment and the coziness, but Lan Xuanyu actually fell asleep in a moment.

After an unknown period of time, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt something poking at him so he subconsciously sat up, only to see a smiling face at the ladder to his bed.

“Are you our new roommate? Hello, hello, I’m Qian Lei. Nice to meet you. It’s time to eat. Teacher Mu Zhongtian came over and was about to ask you for lunch but I told him that it’ll be better if I took you.”

“Oh-oh, hello. I’m Lan Xuanyu.” Upon hearing that Qian Lei was his roommate, Lan Xuanyu quickly sprawled down his bed.

Qian Lei patted the bunk to the side which had the mechas on the table. “I live here. Frenzie’s over there. He’s a hungry ghost and he immediately went to the cafeteria without returning to our dorms. Let’s go, we’ll find him there.”

“Alright!” Seeing how cordial Qian Lei was, Lan Xuanyu could not help but reveal a smile.

The cafeteria was not by the dorms but in a separate building behind the teaching block. The food delegated to the Elite Junior class was different from the other students. They were being served on the top floor of the cafeteria in a relatively small canteen as well.

As Lan Xuanyu followed Qian Lei in, a fragrance rushed into his nose and the rich smell of food immediately made him salivate.

Ever since coming to Heaven Luo City, his supply of rare food was cut, leaving him no choice but to rely on quantity to replenish his body. But upon entering the canteen, he immediately whiffed up the familiar scent of rare food ingredients.

Not only were they delicious, but they also provided ample nutrients and energy for him! At least there was no need to overeat. The food for the Elite Junior class is truly on another level, there was no wonder why it was separated from the ordinary student body.

In fact, what Lan Xuanyu was unaware of was the capital forked out by the Heaven Luo Institute for the Elite Junior class. Due to the stimulation from various factors, the institute was resolved to groom out true elites.

In fact, not only was Lan Xuanyu’s expenses exempted but the majority of the students from the elite junior class had their expenses paid for by the institute as well just for the sake of focusing their resources on grooming out excellent talents. After experimenting and attempting various different things, the institute had committed a rather large expenditure for this sole cause. As for how long they were able to sustain it, everything depended on the results of the first batch of the Elite Junior class.

“Lan Xuanyu?” Before he could find a place to seat, Lan Xuanyu heard a familiar yet unfavorable voice.

Ye Lingtong took a few steps and arrived before him. After not seeing each other for two months, Ye Lingtong seemed to have grown taller and her eyes brighter than before. And when she saw Lan Xuanyu, her eyes were filled with joy.

“You’re better now?” Ye Lingtong asked joyfully.
