Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 146 House Cleaning I : Arrival, Cliche Cannon Fodders!

Usually a dorm room is supposed to carry 9 freshmen and a senior, but the academy was ran based on a system of student created organizations that battled it out for the schools resources and a chance for supremacy over the other, so most students already find themselves in organizations within the first month of their stay in the academy, and each organization usually has a Dorm that specifically catered to them.

The dorm rooms themselves were the tall tower like buildings that dotted the Academy's land, they were shared by floors, and the more floors you had in a dorm, the more powerful your organization is. Many of the students here were special cases, not one person had the same starting point as the amount of reputation you had outside the academy could de iced what sort of allocation of resources and dorms to be given to you. However if your incapable of defending it from the greedy hands of those who would want to take it from you, then that was your own problem.

All the academy offered was knowledge and reputation, and in return you as the student would be expected to repay the academy by completing it's missions, paying tuition and trading with them. But not just the students themselves,  even the countries they come have to pay a certain amount of money every year, a simple tribute to the academy for turning their citizens into fierce and powerful warriors. Alex and the others were led to a tower on the western edge of the gorge, this particular tower was built into the walls of the gorge, and it was in a couple there that pushed in quite a bit, creating a natural alcove within the walls of the gorge. Basically it could be called their own little corner, which was just as well as this particular tower only had seven floors as opposed to the ten, fifteen and twenty of the other dorm rooms.

The other Zhang clan members lived here by virtue of their status as members of the Zhang clan, however this particular tower was known as the weakest around. The Zhang family only had the first floor that themselves, whilst floor 2 to 6 was occupied by more powerful organizations who took every opportunity to bully the Zhang clan members. The funny thing about this whole thing was that, the Zhang clan members weren't weak, or at least that's what they desperately tried to convince Alex about, they were just trying to keep a low profile since they didn't have a strong enough leader to follow and lead them in the conquest of other organizations.

Xiao Mei would have had that role, but she had joined the organization ran by the ninth princess herself, but now she was with her brother and the three students couldn't help but be glad about the possibility of them gaining a little bit of reputation and prestige for themselves. Zhang Wuxi left them at the front of the tower with a schedule of cla.s.ses that follow, in here apart from some compulsory weekly a.s.sessment cla.s.s, it was up to the students to decide the courses that best suits them and learn from it, and from what Alex could see there were a lot of cla.s.ses here.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the trash from the Zhang clan, I see you guys have gone an and gotten a bunch of new trash to join you as well. How about a little orientation hmmm? A tiny spar from us members of the night shroud organization, a way for us to welcome you into the Academy." The nasally voice of a very thing young man sounded out as he came out of the tower in front of them.

There was also one very important rule that Zhang Xuelan and her fellow clan brothers t died really hard to make sure Alex and the others retained, even Xiao Mei who had taken a back seat as a way for Alex, Anya and Louis to enjoy their experience within the academy had to speak up. Regardless of level or realm, as long as it's not in a different gate, you can be challenged by anyone at least three times in a weak and at most 5 times too. The number of win/loss ratio coupled with the strength of the opponent was talkies every week in a weekly ranking system that's always refreshed to once the next week starts, and then once a month ends a monthly ranking system would be released.

But said ranks aren't decided solely on your ability as a combatant, your studies and the application of the things you've learnt would also come into play, and if you have an impressive enough rank, then there'll be rewards for both you and your organization. Either way the bottom line of it was that this school thrived on compet.i.tion, and as long as you can win, you can have and take any and everything you want. Alex looked at the people standing in front of them and couldn't help but ask.

"Who the f.u.c.k are you?" Alex might have noticed the drastic changes his vocabulary has been undergoing with each new day, but being cra.s.s came easily to him, though given that he always used such a soft spoken and refined voice, it was hard to call him cra.s.s and not an aristocrat with an eloquent tongue built for the rougher speech of life.

"Ahhh! Of course you guys don't know me, you're all a bunch of noobs! My name is Jafar, 92nd prince of Saudi Arabia! And your soon to be teacher in the art of eating dust! This here are members of my organization; The Night Shroud, we have occupied the second floor and since you're here I think it's time to establish the hierarchy before the other organizations beat me to it." He was lanky with a nasally voice, but he was also handsome. He had glossy black hair, he was tall and given that he looked about 18 and was in the true element realm, he was obviously a really talented individual.

But Alex didn't pay attention to the fool in front of him as he turned to Zhang Xuelan and asked a question that was probably going to change a lot of things in the academy and put Alex and his table of trouble makers on everyone else's radar.

"The organization on the seventh floor, how powerful are they?" Zhang Xuelan and the other two members of the Zhang clan blinked their eyes in surprise. In fact they were the only three members staying in the tower as most of the other Zhang clan members had either graduated, died, or had been talented enough to be scouted by other more power and influential organizations in the academy, leaving just this three to their own devices, but they've been isolated here and even if feats about Childe Spirit Wind had already spread across the world, not too many people knew what Alex looked like as he hasn't been in the public eye much, that was about to change.

"Why do you want to know that?" Zhang Xuelan asked, only for Anya to give her a hard hit on her back, almost throwing the older girl forward.

"Well it's simple really, my husband wants the entire tower for himself!" Louis and Xiao Mei couldn't help shaking their heads, by this point they knew for a fact Alex hated schemes of staying close to people that could mean harm to him or the people he cared about. When it comes to the emperor of the management of the Wudang sect, he really didn't have a choice as there was nothing he could do, but here, right here in this academy Alex would not tolerate snakes or hyenas around him. This tower was already a nest of snakes and hyenas, before he steps in Alex was going to turn it into a den of lions and dragons! Even if he has to break a few bones and burn a few skins to do it, Alex intended to put himself, Anya, Louis and Xiao Mei through a six floor gauntlet. 

Now the trio of miscreants behind Alex knew exactly the loud Josie he was about to make, after all this was basic prison psychology, something that Scholar Fan had included in his teachings for both Alex and Xiao Mei and Louis and the others when ever they had cla.s.ses together. As for Anya, she was the very definition of refine thug or bully, she knew exactly how moves like this went. Basically they just had to find the biggest, meanest kid in the room and beat his or her a.s.s to the ground in the most painful and humiliating ways possible, make a statement that would force the others to acknowledge and five you the respect you deserve. 

Of course this will paint a target on their backs, but at this point.....what else is new. Going up against bigger odds than themselves has always been what this group of people have been about, besides neither one of them could deny the fact that; they only ever gave their best, and grew stronger when there was pressure on them, and having an entire tower if not an entire academy of pompous fools after them, was just the way to do it. It was wholly and fully, the Alé way!
