Shane was still displeased with the name of his Class and Dorm, but even if he complained, it was unlikely that someone would care.

As such he had to accept the fact, even if he didn't want to.

Standing up to walk out of the colosseum towards the dorms' direction, Shane continued to study the student information trying to gather more intel on his classmates..

What he was curious about was how exactly the rankings [Wealth] and [Lifestyle occupation] would work.

There were many different ways the Shirai academy could approach it, but Shane found out that they looked for one of the easiest.

Apparently, the two rankings were also monthly based, like the theoretical and all combat that involved exams. While the only ranking out of the ordinary ones was the stage to age ranking, which would start from day one. It would only end when a student decided to take away the academy's permission to enter the required system function.

However, the most important thing he figured out was that the accumulated gold coins and points from the lifestyle occupations' manufactured products would be reset every month, in order to ensure a certain amount of fairness to everyone.

There were always students with extremely fortunate months and also bad months. As such, one could enter the rankings one month, and be on the last spot the following month.

At the end of the month, the rewards would be given out according to everyone's ranking in the exams and other rankings.

The only exception was the first week in the first semester.

In this week, the rankings would consider the efforts put in the prior months to establish the [Wealth] and [Lifestyle occupation] ranking.

Meanwhile, the [Stage-to-age] ranking would also give away a reward to the students who cultivated the fastest at the end of the week, while the other exams would do the same.

In the end, Shane estimated that giving out rewards in the first week was a trap, used to exhibit the efficiency of the Dimension-sphere to select students in order to motivate them.

Once others figured out the efficiency of the Dimension-spheres, they would become even more motivated and determined to earn access to the Dimension-spheres in order to achieve their first martial art technique or skill.

Shane and probably all the other students were aware that Tier-1 skills were lacking, compared to their cultivation rank. It was the case for the majority of students at the Expert stage, but one had to consider that most students didn't have a single skill or technique until now.

Comparing his own martial art techniques to the provided techniques the system sold, Shane could only acknowledge the system's superiority.

Seeing his aunts and uncles using all kinds of techniques and skills, compared to the flawed techniques he learned, Shane was always envious. When the time was ripe, he would also become stronger with supreme techniques, allowing him to ascend the higher realms.

As for now, Shane was still at the bottom and he could only be satisfied that he was not seen as an ant by others when they walked past him.

Without a concealment technique, one could easily decipher what stage others were at.

For someone stronger, it was even easier and they could even figure out what rank the opposite party was if one wanted to.

Almost every student was interested in gauging the rough strength of their competitors, but after perceiving Shane's strength, they were more interested in Aimy and Olivia.

If he were, to be honest, he would probably act the same, because his current strength was just too weak, compared to others, even if he had only been inside the Primordial Dimensions for slightly more than a month.

Searching for their dorm took extremely long and when they found it, Shane finally discarded his train of thoughts, about what exact ranking he should focus on, and which one he should neglect.

He would completely disregard the existence of the stage-to-age ranking because he wished to pursue the path of a perfect foundation. It would take a long time, compared to others charging through the realms as if they were in a short sprint, but he didn't mind.

As for the other rankings, Shane wanted to try entering all other rankings, except lifestyle occupation. He couldn't simply bother wasting time to forge, concoct or inscribe runes, even if the necessary basic knowledge was memorized.

Knowledge was what had Shane the most and he was confident in his memory's ability which was superior in his opinion. He had a sharp memory and could remember everything after reading through anything two to three times at most.

Because his plan was to enter the Apprentice rank after perfectly refining his physique, he would be able to enter the combat ranking for the mortal stage. Shane was confident in his strength, due to multiple reasons, which included his perfect physique and [Artemis' Blessing] that enlarged his mana pool by 30%.

Having learned martial art techniques since he was a child, Shane was also confident in reaching a satisfying rank for the martial art proficiency ranking. Only a minority of students could ever lay their hands on a martial art technique while reaching a high proficiency was even more unlikely.

With a high enough proficiency, he would be able to even overshadow system-graded martial art techniques, as long as these students had a shallow proficiency.

Revealing the whole fortune that he had accumulated over the last month might be over the top, but why should he care about others right now?

He wanted to receive the rewards, as such making enemies was unavoidable.

Entering the dorm, Shane looked out for his room number, which was also 100, like the Dorm's number and his Class.

Labeling it a coincidence was not something he would do, as he lamented Aunty Kia's decision to tease him. When he entered the room, a pillow shot towards him.

Ducking, Shane evaded the pillow, which hit the wall behind him, as it slumped to the ground. He entered his dorm room with three youths creating a mess, as they cursed at each other.

Apparently, they were about to start a fistfight for whatever reason, with the smallest, blond-haired youth glaring daggers at the tall brown-haired youth.

Meanwhile, the last, green-haired youth stood on top of one of the two bunk beds, cheerfully encouraging the two youths to fight, when he finally noticed Shane standing in the door frame.

Signaling him to come closer, Shane decided to do what the youth said, after scanning the radiating mana fluctuations in order to figure out everyone's rough strength.

The green-haired youth was definitely the oldest and the strongest, but he encouraged the two youths to fight inside their room, which was weird.

However, Shane didn't mind that, because he found it also quite entertaining, and if they could figure out whatever they were quarreling about, why not?

Ascending the bunk bed, Shane greeted his roommates with a bright smile, shocking the green-haired youth, as he introduced himself.

"Hello, I'm Shane Suro, 10th Mortal stage, what's your name?" He briefly introduced himself telling the green-haired youth his cultivation stage and rank, without showing any signs of weakness or frustration immediately. The youth realized that Shane was either extremely young and had only been within the Primordial Dimension for a short period, or that he simply didn't care about his stage, which was unlikely because he was able to enter the Shirai academy.

As such it had to be the first reason, as the green-haired youth smiled lightly and replied.

"Hey Shane, I'm Uir Yeng, a 2nd rank Expert and the two quarreling youths are Paul Klar and Lars Mer. The small blondie is Lars and the giant-like youth is Paul. Don't mind them, they're only fighting with each other to figure out who should get the other upper bed of the bunk bed."

Looking at the strength both youths used, they were obviously at the Apprentice stage, but that they utilized their whole combat prowess and finesse in order to obtain their desired sleeping place?!

Shane couldn't help but chuckle, as he asked Uir

"I'll take the bed below you, alright?" before he descended the bunk bed to sit in his new bed after taking his shoes off.

Watching the two Apprentice stages fight, Shane couldn't help but carefully grade their physical strength, their minute movements, and how they handled the mana within them.

'That's disappointing' He thought with a sigh before he laid down on his bed to think about his next few goals.
