Several days had passed since the first class.
The rhythm of Heavenly Phoenix Academy had established itself quickly. Morning seminars, afternoon independent study, evening access to the training facilities for those who wanted them, and a continuous background awareness of the assessment system tracking everything that happened in between.
Lin Yi sat at his desk in his dormitory room with his datapad open and the combat training terminal running a passive scan in the corner. It was late enough in the evening that the corridor outside was quiet. He had been sitting here for approximately forty minutes, and in that time he had reviewed everything he had gathered about how Heavenly Phoenix Academy actually worked, not the orientation summary, but the functional reality of how standing was determined and resources were distributed.
He pulled up the ranking display:
