Chapter 561 Shrek's Enrollment Preparation
The enrollment of new students for Shrek Academy will begin soon.

If any force wants to remain strong, fresh blood is essential, and Shrek is no exception.

But Shrek Academy never seemed to need to pay too much attention to the source of its students. After all, as the number one force on the continent, many students wanted to enter Shrek, so Shrek could naturally be picky and set strict standards.

From the beginning of the unified enrollment, there were extremely high requirements for soul power, and students with innate soul power below level 7 or 8 were basically eliminated. After admission, there were a series of cruel tests, and many people dropped out in the first year, and this was the case every year thereafter.

In addition, if you want to enroll, you need a letter of introduction and a certificate from the head of a major sect or the mayor of a major city. Young soul masters without any background can only hope for this, unless they are extremely lucky and get the attention of the mayor because of their excellent grades in the junior college, then they will have the opportunity to enter Shrek.

In addition to the unified enrollment, there is also a special enrollment method that allows one to enter Shrek without taking an exam. Only major forces have very few scarce places.

The work of Shrek's admissions office is not complicated. No matter which main city the admissions teachers go to, they will be warmly received by the city lord, even in the imperial city, or even better.

Once Shrek's admissions teachers went to the various imperial cities, the dukes and ministers would compete to invite them to their residences, trying to build relationships for their juniors. Even an admissions teacher at the level of a Soul Emperor would receive the most grand reception.

The enrollment work this year is slightly different. The importance of soul guides has made Shrek's top management realize a strong sense of crisis, and the training of soul guides has begun with the enrollment work.

Mr. Song came to the office of the Director of Academic Affairs Du Weilun and discussed with several admissions teachers.

"The general direction of the college has been decided. Please tell us your ideas and suggestions." Old Song lowered his head and thought.

Several admissions teachers looked at each other.

A male teacher said, "Mr. Song, we are all soul masters. We can only use soul guides but not make them. How can we tell whether a child has the talent to be a soul guide?"

Another female teacher agreed, "That's right. And the major cities won't react immediately just because we're planning to make changes this year. The places for many prospective students have actually been decided when they were in the junior colleges, and no one would agree to change their places."

Elder Song frowned and thought, "Then we can add extra places, and we can appropriately lower the admission standards for students with soul mentor talents."

The female teacher said, "Mr. Song, you don't understand the minds of those students. This standard cannot be lowered at will. Once this loophole is opened, do you know how many people will try to find ways to enter Shrek through this path?"

"Once you enter Shrek, if you fail the subsequent assessments and are expelled, there will be a lot of trouble."

Old Song snorted coldly: "If you need to drop out, then drop out. Aren't there enough people who have been persuaded to drop out by Shrek?"

The vast majority of those who could enter Shrek were either rich or noble, and there were countless expelled students who came to beg for mercy and to ask for an explanation, but they were all suppressed by Shrek.

Mr. Song looked at Du Weilun: "Wei Lun, what do you think?"

Du Weilun analyzed slowly: "Mr. Song, there are many difficulties in supporting the Soul Guidance Department from the beginning of enrollment. It cannot be solved overnight."

"Soul trainers are scarce in the three empires. We don't have the environment like the Sun-Moon Empire. All the major forces and junior colleges still focus on training soul masters. After some of them are taken away by other advanced colleges, there are not many left."

"And just like other teachers have said, it is difficult for us to identify whether a student has the talent of a soul guide during the enrollment process. Do we have to ask Teacher Fan Yu and his team to visit every main city?"

Elder Song shook his head: "The Soul Guidance Department is already short of teachers, not to mention that they also have research work to do. It is impossible for them to waste their time on such trivial matters."

Du Weilun frowned and said, "The Sun-Moon Empire takes this much more seriously than we do. As far as I know, they have opened soul guide courses in junior colleges, and many students have become first-level soul guides before entering senior colleges." "As for the three empires, except for the three imperial cities and a few larger main cities, there are basically no junior colleges that offer soul guide courses. Everyone knows how to use it, but only after actually engraving it can you tell whether someone has the talent to be a soul guide."

He had obviously done research before and could easily point out the difficulties faced by the development of the soul guidance system.

Mr. Song looked solemn and kept thinking about the solution in his mind.

Du Weilun continued, "But Mr. Song, if the academy really wants to vigorously develop the soul guidance department, it must be done as soon as possible, because we are facing a powerful competitor."

Elder Song understood and said, "Are you talking about Mingdou Academy?"

Du Weilun nodded, his tone worried: "Although it is only a newly built academy, it will recruit students together with us next year, and will also offer martial soul and soul guidance departments. But they have released the news that they will invite senior soul instructors from Mingde Hall to teach, and the dean and vice dean are said to be two level nine soul instructors."

"Xingluo Tianhun also participated in the construction of Mingdou Academy, and will definitely recommend many students to study there. If a student is determined to develop into a soul mentor, our Shrek Academy will actually have no competitiveness at all."

Old Song closed her eyes in deep thought, her brows furrowed. She found that the difficulties faced by the Soul Guidance Department in developing smoothly were much greater than she had imagined.

Many problems are just minor problems at the beginning and do not attract enough attention because there is enough power to solve the phenomenon caused by the problem. But when the problem becomes serious enough and you must make up your mind to eradicate it, you will find that the problem is completely beyond your control.

She couldn't help but complain in her heart that if Shrek had reformed a few years earlier, perhaps it wouldn't have been so troublesome.

At the same time, she was also wondering, how come after all these years, since the Soul Guidance Department was short of people, why didn't anyone think of recruiting more students from the beginning? Just to maintain Shrek's high status, can't the standards be changed at all?

Elder Song opened his eyes and sighed, "How about this, I will personally go to the various imperial cities and see if I can persuade some students who are interested."

Mr. Song still has some confidence in this regard.

Shrek Academy has connections in various countries, and as the number one academy on the continent, it still has great appeal. Plus, with a top expert like her coming in person to give a lecture, there will definitely be a lot of applicants.

Mr. Song stood up and prepared to leave, feeling a little emotional.

Shrek is indeed powerful, but this power seems to have become a shackle, making it blindly arrogant when facing problems, so that when it comes to change, it is unable to change due to huge inertia.

Once a huge force decides to transform, it must act decisively, quickly and accurately. Hesitation will only lead to missed opportunities.

When he was about to leave, Mr. Song suddenly thought of something.

She remembered that Ning Tian from the inner courtyard had transferred from the martial soul department to the soul guidance department.

Today, Ning Tian has become an excellent soul engineer, proving that the auxiliary system is very suitable for the profession of soul engineer.

A bad premonition arose in Old Song's heart.

She felt that she should take this opportunity to visit the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect in person.
