Chapter 312: Chapter 312

Everything felt so familiar yet different, much like the time when he went to school in his previous life.

Looking back, Du You found that Su Qianxue and others who had originally come with him had been taken away by those who had been waiting there. Moreover, Lin Feng was nowhere to be found on the air bus.

He wondered whether he had already arrived or had gone to another place. In any case, it was good that he was not around to be seen.

Shaking his head, Du You followed a group of strangers onto the air bus. Once the bus was filled with passengers, it quickly picked up speed and flew off on its designated route.

These days, the Capital area was littered with all sorts of aerial vehicles flying in various fixed trajectories. Even in the air, the amount of sunlight was significantly dimmed.

However, this also had its benefits: there was no such thing as congestion here.

Capital University was just one of the numerous schools in the Capital. There were dozens of schools within the Capital that could be named, and these were just the Professional Universities. Ordinary schools could not even be counted here.

In the modern world, Professionals were the highest beings, both in terms of status and everything else.

Even in high-tech research, it was said that there were special professions related to research, and these were still led by professionals. Without a solid foundation, it would be impossible to produce so many technological marvels.

The speed of the air bus was not fast, allowing Du You to leisurely observe the view below. At the same time, he listened to the discussions of others.

Most of the passengers were not familiar with each other and those admitted to Capital University were invariably the gifted elites of different schools, all of whom had fought their way through competition with pure talent.

Therefore, even after arriving in the Capital, these individuals still carried a sense of pride about them. Du You remained silent, avoiding interaction with others. In fact, most people on the bus were .

"Hey, I heard that Capital University has expanded enrollment this year, our grade alone has over ten thousand people. I wonder if this year’s admission standards have declined," one person said arrogantly while looking around.

The person next to him casually replied, "Yes, true, but most of the quota was reserved for people from big powers. Private forces from all places are growing rapidly, and the upper class of the alliance wants to win them over. Hence, policies in all aspects are biased towards them." Both seemed to know each other.

"Hmph, these people, hoarding all the resources for their worthless descendants," the first person muttered.

The person from earlier smirked, changing his words at the last moment, "Well, those resources were established by their older generation after all. We have none in our family, who can we blame?"

The person who had just spoken lost interest in continuing the conversation.

Inwardly, Du You was surprised. He had not expected that Capital University, with such high admission standards, was able to enroll more than ten thousand students. Even if half of these students were admitted due to outside influences, it was still impressive.

Professional University was different from ordinary university. Because professionals had longer lifespans, they also studied for more extended periods. Du You had already researched that Professional University was a ten-year program, but early graduation could be applied for.

To graduate from Capital University—a top-level university—one must reach the fourth tier. If not, you needed to study for ten years in school, and in that time, reaching the second tier would let you graduate. However, to gain the school’s acknowledgement, you must reach the third tier.

Du You did not think he was incapable of reaching that level, considering his special circumstances. However, for an ordinary person, it would be challenging.

Generally, the higher the star level, the slower the progression speed. Usually, achieving the third tier within ten years was not easy. He wondered what the graduation rate was.

While thinking, the bus had already reached the main gate of Capital University. Instead of a school, it was more of a small city.

If there were around ten thousand new students every year, there would be approximately one hundred thousand students. Including other support staff, teachers and their families, and other personnel, the total number would be far more substantial.

"Our school is enormous," a female student finally spoke up.

"Of course it is. Those people in the middle are the students of our school. I heard that many of the excellent graduates found jobs here, and this place gradually formed into a small city," another student explained. Official source ıs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥

" So, how many people are there between the school and the periphery?"

The student who had just spoken furrowed his eyebrows, unsure as he said, "Anyway, the population should be no less than several million."

Exactly how many, no one knew. The number of people who flock together due to cluster effect was always hard to distinguish.

"What about the other schools? Are they as well?"

"Absolutely. Regardless of whether the school in the capital is famous or not, the surrounding conditions are the same. However, the genuinely prestigious universities are all within the inner hundred circles."

A hundred circuits? Du You felt a sense of fatigue spring forth. Just how massive was the Capital?

While listening to their conversation, Du You opened his smartwatch, examining the information about the Capital. Some things, he had not paid attention to at the start.

He was not the only one doing this. Several passengers were researching simultaneously - even the one who had spoken just now.

At that moment, a middle-aged woman holding a flag came over, "You all must be this year’s freshmen. Follow me, and I’ll take you to complete your registration and assign your dorms. If you don’t want to live in the dorms, you can live outside. The Capital is relatively safe as long as you don’t venture outside the city."

The middle-aged woman was giving some basic guidelines while leading the group. This was something that had to be done every year at this time.

"Excuse me, are you our teacher?" asked a female student.

The middle-aged woman shook her head, "No, I’m just an assistant. I did pretty well when I graduated, didn’t want to join any of the corps or Yarn Corps, so I stayed here as an assistant."

As she spoke, a flash of green light flickered around her.

"It’s a pity that my talent is not good and I didn’t work hard enough before, so I’m still at the third tier. Don’t follow my example." She generated light by stimulating her own power and Spiritual Energy to create friction, something Du You, an "Awakener," could not do.

The people behind her sensed this aura and were instantly awestruck.
