章節 276: Chapter 276: Average Joe and Plain Jane?

The academy's hierarchy was discussed to the students as early as day one. Teachers made sure to let everyone know who are at the upmost part of the pyramid, people who should they be careful around with and try not to offend.

Freshmen are called "Earth"; still green, or unexperienced, and are first to learn the fundamentals through books and lectures. Next to that was "Sky"; students who learned everything to know about martial arts and passed the written exams, and are ready to learn the actual movements.

"Sun" are those who bested the Drillmasters through a spar and have mastered their own techniques.

Then, for a Sun student to achieve the rank of "Heaven", he or she must have a Master accept them as their disciple.

Lastly, and the highest rank among students, was the "Immortal". These are students who were personally chosen by the Academy's highest ranking teachers to be under their tutelage; the Grandmasters.
