”There are several occupation which you could master while studying in the academy. Here are the list.” said Ling Yu as she handed down a paper with the title 'Occupation'.
Looking through this long list, Duan Li found out that these occupations were broken down into major and minor. For a student of the academy, it was compulsory to select at least one major and four minor occupations.
For the minor occupations, there are more than 50 choices. However, for the Major occupations, there are only 5 available; Warrior class, Spellcaster class, Alchemist class, Strategist class and Lord class.
Duan Li was very much interested in that last occupation, thus he looked up towards Ling Yu and asked, ”What does a Lord class occupation does?”
The trio raised their brows including the chief doctor whom had now became Duan Li's disciple, when they heard Duan Li's interest in the Lord class. After all, out of all the five major occupations, the Lord class was the most difficult to advance and daunting.
”This... Perhaps the principal would be the better person to ask this rather than me...” said Ling Yu as she smiled awkwardly.
While she and Wang Guozhi were of the Warrior class occupation, the principal himself was of the Lord class occupation!
”Let me explain then. The Lord class is the most troublesome of all the occupations, but also the most rewarding out of them all!” said the principal as all the people in the room nodded their head in agreement.
”But, before I go into detail of the Lord class, let me explain to you the star ranking system for all of the major and minor occupations!” the principal continued.
The principal began to explained that the Academy would put star levels on each occupation, which meant how far had a person achieve in it. The higher the number of their total stars, the more formidable the person would be.
However, not all occupations were similar in their difficulty level. Out of all the occupations, the Warrior class was the most easiest, followed by Spellcaster class like Ran Yang - the senior teacher that was in charge of the second trial, Alchemist like Ju Zhianhu - whom was the chief doctor from the royal palace and was now Duan Li's disciple, Strategist class like the vice principal -whom Duan Li hadn't met yet, and finally the hardest, the Lord class like Bian Tianyu - the principal of the Jixue Knights Academy.
Therefore, a 3 star Warrior doesn't necessarily meant that they were superior to a 1 or 2 star Spellcaster. In terms of battle prowess, perhaps they were, but because of the differrent goals and difficulties to achieve in each occupation class in order to rank up, if one were to use their battle prowess alone as an indicator for whom was much more superior, then they had totally made a fatal judgement error!
And this concept was the most truest to its essence for the Lord class occupation. This was because even if a Lord class was still stuck at the one star rank, their battle prowess could be even more terrifying than that of a five star rank warrior!
Duan Li's brows creased together as he listened to this explanation, ”Such a gap in difficulties to rank up?”
”Why is it like this? Does being a Lord class is really that difficult?” asked Duan Li curiously as he cupped his chin.
”The word difficult is but still an underestimation for the Lord clas! I myself am still stuck at the four star rank for almost 10 years now!” replied the principal as he shook his head, looking a little bit dejected.
”Eh? Then.. what about everyone else here?” exclaimed Duan Li, a little bit surprised when he heard the principal stated his star rank.
