When Kailen arrived at the registration floor, the place was completely quiet.
This was not surprising to him because only new students joined factions. And currently, he was the only new student in the academy since the academy entrance exams would happen a year from now, and he had joined the academy through the NGU recommendation slot. So, it was normal that he was the only one here.
Kailen proceeded to the front desk where a rank 4 novice stage transcendent, another student, a lady from the mermaid race, with blue hair, was seated.
The moment the person saw Kailen, her eyes lit up. It was him, the NGU competition winner.
"Did he decide to join the academic faction? Heh. Those royal faction bastards. I'm sure they wanted to rope him in," she thought. "Naturally, anyone who joins the academic faction does not like to be centralized and restricted. From how he carries himself, he's not the kind to find the royal faction favorable. Looks like we've lucked out this time."
