Principals

The average-looking middle-aged man was Qin Ming. He was a teacher at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy despite his status as a commoner due to his high talent, having reached the spirit emperor rank at his 34 years.

He had been instantly alarmed for the break of the gate, quickly going to the place to find that a group of students was about to face three unknow youths.

He sighed internally, knowing how nobles could be, it was very probably their fault. But he decided to let them act. These students rarely fought anyone, growing like flowers in a greenhouse, even a weak fighting experience was useful for them. So Qin Ming decided to wait, prepared to stop them and save the unknown youths if the students went over the top.

However, the result shocked him. The two girls quickly disposed of over 6 students of the same rank, it was so one-sided that they even could make sure to gravely injure them, quickly taking them out. Moreover, by their looks, they would be around 15 years and it was clear that they were close to rank 30 and the girl's spirit should be top rank spirits. A phoenix, the king of birds, and a strong-looking sword full of killing intent. They were true talents

Then, the boy without even activating his spirit was able to face head-on the first skill of a spirit elder, showing an incredible strength.

Qin Ming decided to appear, wanting to know their objective that he thought it would be some kind of a challenge from another academy. He was again surprised by their reaction, presenting themselves and saying that they wanted to join the academy.

Heaven Dou Imperial Academy was mostly for nobles, as such, there was rarely any entrance exam. People mostly entered with recommendations from their families. That caused to have a lot of arrogant young masters types that never had fought in their lives, making most of the students very weak.

However, in the end, it didn't change the fact that it was a spirit master academy where strength and talent would be sought. If you showed tremendous talent, the academy would even forget your background. It had been Qin Ming's case, being accepted as a teacher due to his talent. Who would negate talented people?

"You want to join Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?" Qin Ming asked to make it sure.

"Yes" Haotian nodded "Sorry for the ruckus, but I didn't know of a better way to make us know, supposing the guards would not even heard us."

Qin Ming sighed again for himself 'It seems like problem children, but they might be a good change. And there's no way the principals would let pass the opportunity' "First of all withdraw your spirits" He said with a calm and warm voice, no negative feeling could be sense from him. The girls withdrawing their spirits after receiving a nod from Haotian.

"For such 'irregular' entrance, it would be decided by the principals' opinion. Follow me" Qin Ming signaled at them to follow him, the group of three following him.

More people came to the scene, Qin Ming went towards them and started commanding them, preparing to take the students to the infirmary and to repair the gates. In the academy, teachers and students were divided by their talent and spirit rank. With Qin Ming being an spirit emperor and having enough talent to even be able to reach the douluo rank, he was highly respected, his position only lower than the principals and some special people.

Following Qin Ming, they started walking towards the main building that was simply breathtaking, Haotian never having seen such show off of money before, being incredibly luxurious.

The walking over the building until they stopped over a big door "Wait here, for a moment. I will explain the situation to the principals" Qin Ming said before he entered the room, letting Haotian, Meijing and Biyun outside.

It didn't take long before Qin Ming opened the door again, inviting them to enter. Entering they saw a wide room with three robust desks. It was strange, but unlike the other parts of the academy, this one was simply decorated. In the middle of the room, there were two men standing waiting for them, a very thin and old man with white hair and a long beard and a short and fat man. They might seem old and weak, but the truth was that they were the principals of the academy, both of them being spirit douluos!

"I am the academy's principal, Meng Shenji" The thin man presented himself. He signaled at the fat man next to him.

"I am part of the education board, I am Bai Baoshan" The fat man presented.

"It's an honor to meet you seniors" Haotian stepped forward "My name is Hu Haotian and they are Ma Biyun" Biyun lowered her head "and Chen Meijing" Meijing lowered her head.

"It's an honor!" Both girls said at the same time.

Both men nodded "Teacher Qin had explained a little about you" He said rubbing his beard "So do you want to join our academy?" They nodded "This would be an irregular case but special people require special treatment. I'll need you to answer some questions and pass a test."

"First of all, present yourself, announcing your age, spirit, rank and system, showing your spirit" He said.

The first to step over was Biyun "Ma Biyun, 13 years old, spirit Frost Fire Phoenix, rank 29, control system" Iced wings surged from her back, her body becoming surrounded by blue feathers with two yellow rings appearing under her. Yin could be seen sometimes as an evil element, so she opted to hide that fact, it wasn't like they would be discovered.

The principals blinked shocked "Did you say rank 29 and 13 years old?" Biyun nodded.

Baoshan stepped forward, showing his hand to Biyun "Could you give me your hand for a moment?"

Biyun put her hand over Baoshan's hand, Baoshan started circulating his spirit energy, making sure that what Biyun said was true "It's correct" Baoshan released Biyun's hand "You are very talented miss Ma" 'A rank 29 at 13 years old with a phoenix spirit, what a monster. She would even surpass teacher Qin becoming a spirit elder before the 14 years.

Having finished with Biyun, they signaled for the next one.

Meijing stepped forward "Chen Meijing, 1 month to my 13 years old, spirit Seven Kill Sword, rank 26, power attack system" Under Meijing two yellow rings appeared, her sword appearing over her hands.

"S-seven Kill Sword!?" They were even more shocked at Meijing. It must be known that the Seven Kill Sword was extremely well known over the continent, recognized as the spirit with the highest attack power. Who wouldn't know about Sword Douluo? His power and influence know over all the continent with his strong Seven Kill Sword.

The only reason that there wasn't a strong Seven Kill Clan was due to the low number of people with the spirit, being extremely low its inheritance. And here, in front of them, a talented girl with that spirit appeared. It was normal to be shocked

Shenji stepped forward, approaching Meijing "Would you let me?" He offered his hand.

Meijing nodding. Shenji traced with his hand the Seven Kill Sword, a smile appearing over it "It's real" Then he held Meijing hand, demonstrating that her rank and strength were real.

"Great, great" Shenji let go Meijing and returned to his position rubbing his beard "And the last?"

Haotian stepped forward "Hu Haotian, 13 years old, spirit Frost Sword, rank 29, power attack system" Haotian said, a light shined over him, two yellow rings appearing under him and a sword surrounded by blue flames appeared over his hand. Haotian hid his true spirit for obvious reasons. His existence being too irregular.

Baoshun confirmed his age and rank, nodding at him, his reaction far calmer that with the girls. After a phoenix and the Seven Sword Kill, an ice elemental sword fell short.

"I want to ask you. What was your last academy?" Shenji asked.

"We didn't attend any academy" Haotian was the one that answered "We are part of a hidden clan. Our elders advised us to go out and come to this academy, the best over the continent, to train further."

With this answer, Haotian made sure there would make very little questions. There were a lot of hidden clans, preferring not to be in the spotlight, asking about the characteristics of them could be considered a taboo. Moreover, with that answer, he had created the false image of a clan protecting their backs, a strong one at that, making people think two times before attacking them.

"I understand" Shenji said seriously. He turned to Baoshan, both of them nodding and turning again to Haotian's group "I had some test prepared, but seeing your qualifications, it would need some changes. However, you shall not worry, you have already been accepted to the academy as students. The test is to merely examine your strength, choosing an according class. It would take some time to prepare."

Shenji waved his hand, not long after, a woman wearing maid clothes and a man wearing butler ones opened the door "They will show to your provisional dormitories, ask any doubt to them."

"Thanks, principal" The three lowered their head and followed the maid and butler, exiting the room.

Once the two principals and Qin Ming were alone, each principals sat over a chair over desks "Teacher Qin, you didn't inform us that they were such a monster. I expected the boy to be the most special, but in the end he was the less."

"I had only seen a quick fight of them, I didn't expect for them to have such a level, even less to one of them have the Seven Kill Sword." Qin Ming answered.

"Not only that" Baoshan talked "Their spirit power was pure and thick showing a great foundation and their bodies were far stronger than normal spirit grandmasters."

"Anyway, you did it great, teacher Qin. Not letting them escape or create a bad image of us. We all know how the students can be" They all sighed "With their talents, our reputation would surely grow in the future, they would reach an incredible level. We can't let other academies have them. I would even have accepted trash if it would be to have those girls as students."

"The doubt is that hidden clan" Baoshun said.

"Yes" Shenji rubbed his beard "For a clan to have such strong youths, being able to train them to have such foundation and strength, they must be extremely strong. We will need to carefully act around them. Even with the Empire's support, it wouldn't make us any good to antagonize them."

Shenji made a thoughtful face an turned to Qin Ming "Teacher Qin, what do you think it will be the best place for them?"

Qin Ming made a serious face "Even if they are new to the academy, it's clear that they would shortly reach rank 30, being able to enter the Heaven Dou level class. To maximize their talent and power, I would recommend already a Heaven Dou's treatment, making most facilities and resources available for them. Also, the Continental Tournament is in two years, like with Shrek Academy's students that I previously recommended, depending on their performance they could be part of the second team, reinforcing them."

"Oh, the Shrek Academy? Are you sure that they are monsters at the level of these three?" Shenji asked.

"They are even better. As I graduate from Shrek Academy, I can assure their education was very intensive. Even if their individual talent is not the same, their teamwork made up for it, even winning against our Emperor Team. I can assure their talent" Qin Ming said seriously.

"Great, great" A big smile appeared at Shenji's face "With such good students, our future would be bright. The position of the number one academy over the continent is like already for us to take. If only they could win against Spirit Hall" He sighed "But that's is extremely difficult."

"Qin Ming" Shenji turned to him "I'll let you in charge of the test. You can use any means, I leave it to your hands." He waved his hand.

"Yes!" He bowed and left the room.

"A bright future is ahead!" Shenji smiled.
