(Title is a Spoiler So It's Placed at the Bottom)

Feng Hei Lang turned towards the stage once more when she heard Instructor Le Yi call out once more.

Instructor Le Yi beckoned for all of the ten foxes to come on stage. There was Kang Lei, Diao Lau, Mei Wang, a purple fox, a yellow fox, three red foxes, and an orange fox. Feng Hei Lang stood on stage next to Kang Lei.

The two foxes in human form in the back stood up. Instructor Le Yi kneeled when they approached. "Instructor Le Yi greets Princess Wang Hua and Prince Fei Tang of the Royal Fox Clan."

Feng Hei Lang quickly followed the other foxes that were bowing and kneeling. 'Royal Fox Clan? That's the first of the four great families!'

Princess Wang Hua was wearing a fancy fox mask on her face. It covered the top half of her face, embellished with flowers and beads. She had puckered her thin, pinkish lips underneath the mask. Her pristine, pale skin contrasted the chestnut brown hair of hers. "Newest students of Hu Li University, please stand."

Her voice was similar to the demon goddess', but not as enchanting. Feng Hei Lang stood up and looked at Prince Fei Tang. He also wore a fox mask that was embellished. HIs deep and rough voice rang out throughout the courtyard.

"Student Kang Lei, the Royal Fox Clan welcomes you to Hu Li University. Your decided rank shall be Silver."

Kang Lei bowed. "Yes, Your Highness."

Princess Wang Hua turned to Mei Wang. "Student Mei Wang, the Royal Fox Clan welcomes you. Your decided rank shall be Gold."

Murmurs broke out when they heard that.

"Gold? Gold is super rare for first-years!"

"I told you our Mei Wang would get gold!"

"Go Mei Wang!"

Prince Fei Tang waved out a hand. "SILENCE! We will NOT be interrupted!" The foxes that were still in the courtyard bowed and nodded.

Prince Fei Tang walked up to Diao Lau. "The Royal Fox Clan welcomes Student Diao Lau to Hu Li University. Your decided rank shall be Silver."

This went on until it was Feng Hei Lang's turn. Everyone before her was Silver and Mei Wang was the only one that got gold.

She bowed down when Princess Wang Hua turned to her. "The Royal Fox Clan welcomes... Student Hei Lang. Your decided rank shall be...Bronze."

Feng Hei Lang almost stumbled when she heard that. 'Bronze? WHAT THE HELL! I CLEARLY deserve something more than Bronze! My ability surpasses Kang Lei, so I should at least be a Silver!'

She took a deep breath and steadied herself. "Thank you, Your Highness."

When Feng Hei Lang looked back up, she could see a slight smirk underneath the princess' mask. She gripped her paws tightly together. 'Take a deep breath, Feng Hei Lang. This has happened before in your past life. Take a deep breath.'

Feng Hei Lang calmed herself down from the boiling anger that was building up inside of her.

Kang Lei shot her a puzzled glance when she made eye contact with her. Feng Hei Lang shrugged.

Instructor Le Yi stood back on stage. "The entrance exam for Hu Li University is now concluded. Foxes that didn't pass, you may now exit the courtyard. Foxes that passed, stay up on stage please."

Within a few minutes, all the foxes that didn't pass were gone.

Princess Wang Hua cleared her throat. "Welcome to Hu Li University, dear foxes. This is the one and only academy for foxes with lots of potential. You are all now students, or shall I say disciples, of the school."

Prince Fei Tang continued. "Depending on the rank you received during the ceremony, you are now different levels of disciples. Student Mei Wang, you are a Gold Disciple. You will have access to exclusive baths, your own room, and food fees will be covered for you. The Silver Disciples will share rooms, share bathrooms, and pay for their foods themselves. Student Hei Lang, you are a Bronze Disciple."

A small giggle came from Princess Wang Hua, but Feng Hei Lang only noticed because of her enhanced hearing. She gritted her teeth and turned her attention towards the prince.

"Bronze Disciples get one small room, with just a bed, your food will be double the normal price, and as for the bathrooms...You can see for yourself."

Feng Hei Lang now really wanted to punch the princess in the face. 'Calm down...If you do that, you'll be expelled and probably put to prison.'

Kang Lei looked at her pityingly.

Princess Wang Hua extended a hand towards them, pointing to a tower in the distance. "Now, dear new foxes, the dormitory to your rooms will be over in the west tower. If you get there within ten minutes, you'll get a free dinner for today. And once again, welcome to Hu Li University."

The two foxes from the Royal Fox Clan vanished like an illusion. Instructor Le Yi cleared her throat when none of the foxes moved. "The time has begun. You can now rush to the tower."

Instantly, all of the foxes took off except for Feng Hei Lang. 'I don't need to rush. I have my cloak's special effect. I can just teleport to a shadow over there, since I can see the tower from here.'

Instead, Feng Hei Lang turned to Instructor Le Yi. Instructor Le Yi tilted her head at her. "Student Hei Lang, are you not going to go for the tower?"

Feng Hei Lang shook her head. "Instructor Le Yi, I had a question about my disciple ranking. Are you sure there isn't a mistake?"
