Chapter 1: The World of Royal Spirit Masters
“Students, I must solemnly remind you all once again, there is less than one week left until the Royal Spirit Master Academies’ enrollment assessment.”
“I hope you all can make good use of these few days, prepare thoroughly, and strive to achieve good results in the assessment a week from now, so you can get into your ideal academies.”
In a classroom, a bespectacled homeroom teacher said with a serious expression.
Of course, only he knew that these were merely words of encouragement.
The number of people who could truly pass the assessment was too small.
Even in his own class, having a few succeed would be considered good.
The students sitting below showed various expressions; some were mournful, while others were quite happy.
“Alright, I’ve said all I need to say. Now… class dismissed.”
Subsequently, the homeroom teacher directly announced the end of class, turned around, and left the classroom.
Just after the homeroom teacher left the room, various sounds erupted in the classroom.
“Holy crap! How did time pass so quickly! Three years just flew by like that.”
“You can say that again! With our current strength, the Four Top Spiritualist Academies are out of the question. Advanced Spirit Master Academy is also pretty much out of the picture. We should probably focus on how to get into just one Spirit Master Academy. I don’t ask for much, any one will do.”
“If we can’t even get into a regular Spirit Master Academy, then we’re truly finished; we’ll be stuck as ordinary people our whole lives.”
“Hahahaha! My goal is an Advanced Spirit Master Academy. While I can’t reach the Top Spirit Master Academy, with my strength, getting into an Advanced Spirit Master Academy is no problem at all.”
“I’m so envious!”
…
Upon hearing this news, some rejoiced while others worried.
Those who rejoiced were naturally those who felt their strength was sufficient, while those who worried were those who believed their strength was inadequate and could be eliminated at any moment.
Among this group of people, one person remained seated.
Completely different from the surrounding commotion, this person was silent, out of place with everything around him.
Ye Ling looked at the noisy classmates around him, his mood also very complex.
However, as a transmigrator, he had come to terms with many things, and he had matured a lot.
He wouldn’t make a big fuss or shout loudly over such a small matter.
But thinking about the public enrollment assessment that was to take place a week later, Ye Ling couldn’t help but sigh with regret.
“Sigh!”
Ye Ling was not originally from this world; he was a transmigrator.
Under unexpected circumstances, he arrived in this world a week ago.
His soul directly took over, completely devouring the dying soul that originally inhabited the body.
It took a full day for Ye Ling to integrate the memories carried by the dying soul within his body, and he also learned what kind of world this was.
This world was not as peaceful and tranquil as the world Ye Ling had lived in before.
In this world, various magical beasts ran rampant, spread across the entire continent.
Humans, who were at the top of the food chain on Earth, were completely different on this continent.
Due to the powerful strength and vast numbers of magical beasts, humans could only survive by relying on tall cities.
Of course, it wasn’t just by relying on cities.
The reason humans could survive was also because there was a special existence among them.
And this special existence was called a Royal Spirit Master, currently the most respected profession among humans.
The reason Royal Spirit Masters could become the most important, and arguably the highest-status, profession in this world was because of the abilities they possessed.
Royal Spirit Master: ‘Royal’ means to control, and ‘Spirit’ refers to a Spirit Pet.
As the name suggests, Royal Spirit Masters are people who can control Spirit Pets.
They can command powerful Spirit Pets to fight against fierce magical beasts in the wild.
They can not only protect human cities but also expand into areas beyond the cities.
They are equivalent to the guardians of humanity.
This is also why Royal Spirit Masters hold the highest status among professions, without exception.
After becoming a Royal Spirit Master, the power and treatment enjoyed naturally far exceed those of ordinary people.
For the young people of this world, their greatest dream is to become a powerful Royal Spirit Master.
Of course, Ye Ling, who successfully transmigrated to this world and absorbed the original owner’s memories, was no exception.
After clearly understanding what kind of world this was, Ye Ling realized that it was a world where the strong preyed on the weak and strength commanded respect.
Only when you possess great power can you have the opportunity and qualifications to enjoy more power and wealth.
Naturally, it’s not to say that if you can’t become a Royal Spirit Master, you can’t survive in this world.
That’s not true; you can certainly survive.
However, for ordinary people, this world is not friendly to them; their living space is limited to within the cities.
Once outside the city, ordinary people without Spirit Pets to help them fight are easily killed by magical beasts.
Therefore, for most ordinary people, they can only stay in the city their entire lives.
Each tall city protects these ordinary humans, but it also acts as their shackles, preventing them from leaving.
Ye Ling was not only his name in his previous life but also the name of his current body; their names were exactly the same.
He didn’t know if it was due to some special reason, but even their appearances were very similar.
At least, Ye Ling felt no sense of incongruity looking at his current self.
