The eighteenth day of the first lunar month is the opening day of the Ziyun Academy, but the so-called opening day is not much different from whether there is or not.

Most of the first-year students arrived in World City in February, ignoring the start of school.

In the second year, there is less time to really study in the school palace, and the time spent with the tutor to go out to experience and master by yourself accounts for the major, and the more free time there is, the more time you have in the future, and you can't tell the difference between the vacation and the semester.

However, this day is the beginning of the new school year, and the tutors will generally gather the students to explain the general study plan for the next year.

Most of the 5018 students (but does anyone still remember this time?) also gathered together, the reason why only most, not all, was not because some people were at home for the New Year and did not come back, but because a small number of students changed instructors.

In the year-end assessment a year ago, there were twelve outstanding students who were picked up by the senior tutors, of which the top four of the top ten in the original college entrance examination occupied four positions without any accident, and the rest were all excellent performers in the year-end assessment.

Among Wen Ming's group, Peanut is one of the latter, and 4 of the 6 people in their group have become students of senior tutors.

Compared with ordinary students, students who become senior tutor students have a lot of advantages:

First of all, compared with ordinary tutors, senior tutors are at a higher level of strength, and they are often better at assisting professional abilities, so they will be more thorough and clear about many issues, and their guidance to students will be more in place;

Secondly, it is important to note that senior tutors will only take single-digit students.

Because the number of students is smaller, senior tutors will have a clearer understanding of students' cultivation and learning, and professors will naturally be more detailed;

Because the number of students is smaller, the relationship between teachers and students will be closer, and the senior tutor will definitely be richer than the average tutor. In general, students will be given certain material support in their cultivation and study career.

Thirdly, under the door of the senior mentor, when working, there will be better hardware conditions, better production of equipment or elixir, while reducing costs, it will make the quality of the finished product better, and the income will undoubtedly be higher.

Finally, when going out to practice, the team led by the senior instructor met the team led by the ordinary instructor. If the goals of both parties are the same, ordinary tutors basically have to take the initiative to back down, especially when they encounter senior tutors in other palaces, if they don't back down, they will be asking for trouble.

The three palaces are closely connected, but they are competing with each other, and when they encounter teams from other palaces, they generally don't pay attention to courtesy.

It is worth mentioning that because the relationship between senior tutors and students is generally close, students generally do not call tutors X. Instead, he is called "Master X", which is a kind of title between Master X and Master.

Because their relationship is between the ordinary teacher-student relationship and the master-apprentice relationship, which is closer than the relationship between ordinary mentors and students, but not as good as the real master-apprentice relationship.

And between students of the same senior tutor. Some are still commensurate with seniors and younger sisters, and some can also be commensurate with brothers and sisters if they want to be more intimate.

Then if both the senior tutor and the student are interested, it is possible for both parties to become a formal mentor-apprentice relationship.

This is something that both sides will be extremely cautious about, Master, Master. A teacher for one day and a father for life, that is, among ordinary people. In some industries that require the transfer of master and apprentice, the relationship between master and apprentice is extremely close, comparable to that of father and son.

In the warrior world, this is an extremely sacred and intimate relationship, because although it is not explicitly written, it is a rule that all warriors abide by by by default, that is, only when the strength level reaches the Nine Heavens War Master, can they be qualified to accept apprentices.

And such a character, the apprentice to be accepted must also be talented, and his future achievements are not low.

The longevity of a warrior is closely related to the level of strength, and the Nine Heavens Warrior Division has at least 500 years of longevity!

The master will have such a long lifespan, but the father may not be a warrior, even if he is a warrior, he may not be so powerful and can have such a long lifespan, so as an apprentice warrior, if he does not die halfway, his father can often only accompany him through a short journey of life, while the master can accompany him for a lifetime, or most of his life.

So the master-apprentice relationship between the warriors is in some ways more intimate than the father-son relationship.

Whether it is a master accepting an apprentice or an apprentice, both parties will be extremely cautious, and generally not very satisfied, and they are unwilling to accept apprentices or apprentices.

In the end, the relationship between the senior tutor and the student is still much worse than that between the master and the apprentice, and the student can be regarded as the registered disciple of the senior tutor during the period when the student is studying under his disciple.

When the student finishes studying under the senior tutor, under normal circumstances, the student's title to the tutor will not change, and the respect will not be less, but the relationship between the two parties has essentially ended. Only the master-apprentice relationship is the one that will really maintain a lifelong relationship, and the disciple is also the disciple who enters the house.

Wen Ming and Gu Qiyao were selected by the same senior tutor, and under normal circumstances, in the year-end assessment every year, each auxiliary profession has a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 3 senior tutors, and each senior tutor will select 1-3 students.

Among the senior mentors who came this year, there are 2 craftsmen, 2 Dan masters, and 2 cloud weavers, 1 talisman master, and 1 full-time combat senior mentor.

However, there are only 7 tutors in total, because the talisman master is one of the two craftsmen working part-time, otherwise at this stage, the talisman master will not come to pick students, at least senior students are possible and qualified to start learning runes.

And the full-time combat senior tutor is the mentor who does not cultivate the auxiliary professional ability, and there is no full-time combat tutor among the ordinary tutors, because the academy does not look down on them, maybe they will stay in the Qingying Combat Master because of the lack of resources.

The academy hires mentors, not only to see their combat ability, auxiliary professional ability, but also to see their potential, after all, the tutor's treatment is quite good, and the academy hopes that the mentor can continue to grow with this treatment, so the requirements are high.

Only the Nine Heavens War Master can make the Academy Palace look at the key points a little, after all, this is also considered a strong person, and the other party must have some means to cultivate to this level.

It's just that unless the combat power is really strong, even if you succeed in becoming a senior mentor, you will be half a head shorter in the face of other senior mentors.

It was the senior mentor who took Wen Ming and Gu Qiyao away who also cultivated runes and forging, and because he also cultivated runes, he was able to strongly take Wen Ming and Gu Qiyao into his pocket, leaving the other master helpless.

This senior mentor's name is Lu Tianya, and he is a dashing older man with a good demeanor and a handsome appearance—referring to his appearance.

If a blacksmith who is not a warrior sees him and knows that he is a craftsman, he may lose his balance and will not be able to sleep well for a few days.

Ordinary people can also find auxiliary occupations, but it is quite difficult to assess low-level occupations, and it is a happy event to celebrate if the assessment is successful.

And those who can advance to high-level professions as ordinary people are rarer than rare, and they can basically be produced in decades. Whenever such a person appeared, people would sigh that he had not become a warrior when he was young, otherwise the future would be limitless. Even the master professionals will give them a certain respect, not because of their ability, but because of their perseverance and talent.

It is much more difficult for ordinary people to become auxiliary professions than warriors, among which blacksmiths will greatly affect their stature and body shape, ordinary blacksmiths are often rough in appearance, muscles are knotted, dark and rough skin, and thick or burly in stature, in short, no one can have anything to do with words such as elegant and chic.

It was an ordinary blacksmith who saw Lu Tianya and knew that he was a craftsman, so it was strange that he could feel comfortable, and he was afraid that he would have to curse him in his heart and vent his unhappiness.

According to Gu Qiyao, Lu Tianya's real age is actually older than Liu Hong, but the speed of promotion is very fast, and he is already a Nine Heavens War Master when his face is not old.

After the warriors are promoted, their longevity will increase and the aging rate will slow down, but they basically can't rejuvenate, so at the same power level, the earlier they are promoted, the younger their appearance will be.

It is conceivable that Liu Hong is a late-blooming warrior, and he is only an old man in appearance.

And the reason why Gu Qiyao knows Lu Tianya so well is because the two have known each other for a long time, and Lu Tianya is an old friend of his grandfather who has known each other for many years.

In addition to Wen Ming, Ji Jingyun and Peanut were picked by two female Dan Shi and Zhiyun respectively, and the other two male Dan Shi and Zhiyun were snatched by two female senior tutors on the grounds that Ji and Hua were women.

Not to mention the others, at this time, Wen Ming and the others were in a huge studio, and they were getting to know several other students from Lu Tianya.

In the Purple Cloud Academy, every master-level auxiliary professional can get a set of studios, and the stronger the studio, the better and bigger the studio.

The studios of senior tutors are generally large enough and there are not many students, so the teaching location is usually the tutors' studios. Although ordinary tutors also have studios, there are too many students, and it is impossible to fit them in, so the teaching location can only be a large classroom in the public palace of the school.

After Lu Tianya brought the two over, he said that he was completing a work, and let them get familiar with it first, so he went into a workshop by himself.

And several of his students were three men and two women, and to Wen Ming's surprise, one of them was actually a senior!

Even Gu Qiyao didn't know why he was a student of Lu Tianya, after all, Lu Tianya was a friend of his grandfather, not his friend, not to mention that even his grandfather might not know Lu Tianya's student, and whether the student was an apprentice or not was not a small difference.

Yes, none of the people present are Lu Tianya's apprentices, and Lu Tianya has not accepted apprentices so far. (To be continued.) )
