On the first day of November, Zhang Yi woke up early.

After washing up and eating breakfast at home,

Zhang Yi entered the Divine Domain Connection Pod,

and using the invitation code sent by his homeroom teacher, entered the school in Subspace!

Zhang Yi had spent more time in the Subspace school than in the real-world one,

so finding his new classroom wasn’t difficult for him.

After finding the sign for the second-year honors Class One, Zhang Yi pushed the door open and walked right in.

Unlike his previous class, where he had spent more than a semester and knew everyone,

this newly shuffled Honors Class One was filled with faces he didn’t recognize.

Only a handful of his former classmates were there as well.

’Sima Yuan, Hong Tianyi, Shen Mengting!’

These were the former classmates he recognized the moment he walked in.

Sima Yuan glanced over, and upon seeing Zhang Yi, he waved him over.

Sitting next to Sima Yuan were none other than Hong Tianyi and Shen Mengting.

This made Zhang Yi a little curious.

’Hong Tianyi, who usually ignores his classmates, and the somewhat reclusive Shen Mengting—how did they end up sitting with Sima Yuan?’

After all,

in their previous class,

Hong Tianyi had always been a loner,

and Shen Mengting was much the same, rarely seen interacting with other girls.

’How did these three end up sitting together?’

’They can’t be just huddling together for warmth, can they?’

As Zhang Yi walked over, he recalled their homeroom teacher, Guo Aiqing, saying she was going to investigate who in the class had been spreading rumors about her.

’I wonder how that investigation turned out.’

But this wasn’t something Zhang Yi could just ask about directly.

As he approached the trio,

Sima Yuan was the first to speak. "The three of us were just waiting for you!"

"Why are you so late today?"

"I’m not late. It’s still twenty minutes before eight. If anything, you guys are the ones who are early."

At that, Sima Yuan, who was already well-acquainted with Zhang Yi, clapped him on the shoulder and said:

"You just don’t get it, do you?"

"I heard that Lin Aoxue, from the former second-year Class One, also got placed in this honors class!"

"A lot of the guys came early just to see her."

Sima Yuan said this with a grin.

It was just that, to Zhang Yi, the smile looked more and more mischievous.

"Then what about you two?"

Zhang Yi glanced at the two beside Sima Yuan and asked curiously.

"Huddling together for warmth, of course!"

"Old classmates are easier to approach than new ones."

Hong Tianyi admitted frankly.

"I heard that at the end of this month,

the homeroom teachers of the two honors classes are holding a joint mock test. It’s going to simulate the actual Divine Realm assessment at the end of the term!"

"When the time comes, we’ll all be on the same shattered continent for our first class placement test of the month!"

"And you know just how important this term’s final Divine Realm assessment is, don’t you?!"

Seeing the look in Hong Tianyi’s eyes,

Zhang Yi didn’t think much of it at first,

but hearing the near-emphatic hint in his voice,

something suddenly clicked for Zhang Yi.

"Are you talking about the slots for the University Alliance Training Camp?"

Seeing Zhang Yi’s expression shift from confusion to dawning realization before he asked his uncertain question,

Hong Tianyi’s furrowed brow finally relaxed.

"That’s right, those very slots!"

"I heard that at the end of this term, they’ll be awarding three to five slots based on the assessment scores."

"It could be three, or maybe four or five."

"But three at a minimum!"

Sima Yuan, who had been casually checking out the other girls in the class, overheard their conversation and chimed in:

"I heard our school originally only had three slots. They supposedly wrangled the extra ones from other schools!"

"We’ll see if they actually managed to get them, though!"

"If they really did, that’s definitely a good thing!"

"That’s one or two more slots than in previous years. Maybe even I’ll have a chance to snag one."

As he said this, a light gleamed in Sima Yuan’s eyes.

Clearly, he was also very hopeful about getting a slot for the University Alliance Training Camp.

"What is this University Alliance Training Camp you’re all talking about?"

The question came from Shen Mengting, who was sitting beside the three boys.

Of the four from their old class now gathered together,

Sima Yuan hailed from a Middle-level Divine Family. He was the eldest son of the second branch.

While his resources couldn’t compare to the primary heir of the first branch,

they were certainly abundant compared to the average student.

Hong Tianyi, on the other hand, was a direct heir of the Hong Family.

The Hong Family was a well-established Middle-level Divine Family that had existed for tens of thousands of years.

Although he had an older brother who was already a third-year,

Hong Tianyi’s relationship with him was decent. His brother would even occasionally provide him with some resources,

so Hong Tianyi wasn’t lacking in either support or information.

Of the three of them, Shen Mengting’s background was the most ordinary.

Shen Mengting didn’t come from a Divine Clan.

However, her mother was quite wealthy and owned several companies in Golden City.

So in terms of daily life, Shen Mengting never wanted for anything,

but when it came to resources and information in this area,

she certainly couldn’t compare to the likes of Zhang Yi, Sima Yuan, and Hong Tianyi.

After Hong Tianyi finished explaining things about the University Alliance Training Camp, Shen Mengting looked disappointed.

"With my abilities, just getting into the honors class was the best I could possibly do!"

"There’s no way I can compete for one of those slots when there are over a thousand second-years fighting for them!"

Evidently, after hearing the news, Shen Mengting didn’t feel she had any chance of getting a slot in the University Alliance Training Camp.

To this, Zhang Yi and the others couldn’t say anything to comfort her,

after all, they couldn’t be one hundred percent certain they could secure a slot for themselves either.

Just as they were speaking,

the noisy classroom suddenly grew a little quieter,

then the volume rose again, only to fall once more.

This strange fluctuation in noise instantly caught the attention of the four friends.

Zhang Yi and the others looked over and saw that Lin Aoxue had entered the room.

Following behind her was their homeroom teacher, Guo Aiqing.

’No wonder the noise level dropped, then rose, then dropped again!’

When the students saw their homeroom teacher enter, they immediately quieted down, regardless of what they had been discussing.

Guo Aiqing, a homeroom teacher familiar to Zhang Yi but new to the others,

now stood at the podium. After introducing herself, she addressed the class with a serious expression:

"I am honored to be your homeroom teacher for this term."

"In the coming days, I hope we can all strive to improve together!"

After those two pleasantries, she got to the truly important part.

"But don’t think that just because you’ve made it into the honors class, your worries are over!"

"Your results on every monthly exam will determine your class placement.

If you rank below the top eighty students twice in a row,

you will be moved from this honors class to a secondary honors class."

"And students from the secondary honors classes will take your spots and move up into this one!"

"Do you want that to happen?"

Homeroom teacher Guo Aiqing demanded, slamming her hand on the desk.
