There were five different classes in the academy.
The Celestial Class
The Noble Class
The Scholar Class
The Foundation Class and the Provisional Class.
These classes were not only the approved tier system that acknowledged the existence and lovely treatment of inequality. It was also proof that the Golden Jade Academy openly acknowledged political reality. Students were sorted by capability, bloodline, wealth, and political importance and this served as a harsh reminder that even in a place of supposed harmony, power mattered.
After checking the results, eight hundred were admitted into the Golden Jade Academy out of the two thousand applicants that participated in the Entrance Examination. Of that eight hundred, only forty were qualified to be in the Celestial Class.
