As time passed, the two of them wandered aimlessly and finally managed to tour the whole academy.
Although it was still a bit unfamiliar, at least they wouldn’t get lost again.
While they wandered around, they also took in all the sights of the academy.
The scenery here was actually pretty nice—there were mountains, water, and rivers.
The only thing was, the mountains were artificial.
Still, the air was really fresh, and breathing it in felt like being embraced by nature itself—so warm and comfortable.
By the time afternoon classes were about to start, everyone had gathered in front of the academy’s bulletin board, looking for their assigned classes.
After checking, Bai Ling and Lin Qiufeng both found their classes.
Coincidentally, they were in the same class—first-year Class A.
Actually, it wasn’t all just coincidence.
The requirement for Class A was that your magic awakening level had to be between C and A.
And there were only two classes in the first year: Class A and Class B.
Just from the class division, you could tell—one was the genius class, and the other, well, the dunce class.
(Not wrong, really.) Bai Ling and Lin Qiufeng, of course, were in the genius class.
Otherwise, that would be a real shame! After finding out their class, the two of them went straight to the classroom to wait.
They casually picked a seat by the window and sat down.
Gradually, more and more students filled the classroom.
When the room was almost full, Teacher Zitong finally arrived, a bit late.
Standing at the podium, Zitong first introduced herself to the students, then continued, “From now on, I’ll be your advisor.
Normally, there aren’t any classes in the afternoon, so today isn’t a formal lesson.
Today is just for you to get to know your classmates and introduce yourselves.”
“Alright, let’s start with the first student in the front row on the left!” As she spoke, Zitong pointed at that student, signaling him to begin.
“My name is Wang Kang.” The student Zitong pointed to announced his name and sat down right away, not wanting to say another word.
“Man of few words” described him perfectly.
Uh… The room instantly fell into an awkward silence, but Wang Kang didn’t seem to care at all.
This guy kept a straight face the whole time, like everyone owed him a ton of money and hadn’t paid him back, and he was here to collect.
It was as if, if you didn’t pay him, he’d eat you alive.
Everyone present thought it was best not to mess with someone like that, or you’d be asking for trouble.
Bai Ling could sense it too, and she really hated trouble.
The awkward silence dragged on, until the student next to Wang Kang finally reacted.
He stood up and introduced himself, “Hi everyone, I’m Li Peng.
My magic level is C, and my element is water.
I know I’m a bit slow, but I hope you won’t mind, so please take care of me.” After he finished, he grinned and laughed a little foolishly.
Hahaha~~~ This guy is hilarious.
Who calls themselves slow? He’s definitely a character! Bai Ling found it funny too, but as someone who’d lived two lifetimes, she saw things more clearly than the others—her mental age was way above everyone else here.
In Bai Ling’s eyes, this guy wasn’t slow at all.
To break the awkward atmosphere and liven things up, he had to be pretty smart.
Thanks to Li Peng’s words, the mood in the class instantly went from rock bottom to sky high.
The students had a good impression of him—at least he wasn’t like the last guy, who said one sentence and was done.
The introductions continued, and everyone else just went through the motions.
Nothing unusual happened again.
When it was Lin Qiufeng’s turn, she stood up boldly and said, “Hi everyone, I’m Lin Qiufeng.
My magic level is B, my element is wood.
Let’s all get along, okay?”
Bai Ling was right next to her.
After Lin Qiufeng finished, Bai Ling stood up and introduced herself, “I’m Bai Ling.
My magic level is A, and my magic is healing.
Please take care of me.” She smiled at everyone as she finished.
When everyone looked at Bai Ling, they were all stunned—not for any other reason, but because she gave off such a fresh, natural vibe.
Her pure aura was captivating, her fair skin like fine jade, or a snow lotus in winter.
Her bright eyes and black pupils seemed to draw people in, and her long black hair down to her waist added a touch of allure.
The butterfly bow in her hair looked like a real butterfly about to take flight, adding a sense of liveliness.
And with Bai Ling’s alluring figure—curves in all the right places—her proportions were simply killer.
With someone as stunning as Bai Ling, how could the boys in the class possibly keep their cool? Not only were they shocked by her looks, but also by what she said.
Many of them hadn’t awakened with Bai Ling, so they didn’t know what healing magic was, but an awakening level of A was no joke.
Only a true prodigy could awaken at that level.
Those who had awakened with Bai Ling knew what healing magic meant, but hearing it again was still a shock.
Being stared at didn’t bother Bai Ling at all.
She knew how much of an impact her looks had.
Maybe at first it was a bit awkward, but it didn’t really matter, so she didn’t pay much attention.
What she didn’t know was that, in a corner, someone was smiling at her.
From the moment Bai Ling said her name, he’d been watching her.
But Bai Ling just took his gaze as one among many and didn’t care.
After that, Lin Qiufeng lost interest in the introductions and started chatting with Bai Ling.
Bai Ling was a bit helpless—having a chatterbox next to her, she couldn’t be bothered to listen either, so she just went along with Lin Qiufeng’s random topics.
She even asked Bai Ling if she liked any boys.
When Bai Ling heard that, she almost choked, then glared hard at Lin Qiufeng, which finally made her drop the subject and move on.
The seats here were two per desk, four rows in total, arranged in tiers—the further back, the higher the seats.
The reason for this setup, according to the principal, was to “help students bond.”
When it was the last student’s turn, he stood up and introduced himself, “I’m Qiao Shan.
My magic level is B, and my element is earth.” This was the guy who’d been watching Bai Ling the whole time.
He had blond hair, blue eyes, an oval face, and a cool expression—except when he looked at Bai Ling, when a hint of heat flashed in his eyes.
“Hm?” Hearing that name, Bai Ling was a bit puzzled.
It sounded familiar, but she couldn’t place it.
She looked over, and the moment she saw him, she realized—he was that little brat who used to follow her around when they were kids.
She just hadn’t expected him to end up here too.
Qiao Shan, who’d been watching Bai Ling, noticed her looking back.
When he met her gaze, his cool expression instantly turned into a smile.
Bai Ling smiled back.
She wasn’t unreasonable—she actually had a bit of a soft spot for Qiao Shan, so she didn’t ignore him and smiled in return.
She had to admit, he hadn’t seemed like much as a kid, but now he’d grown up to be pretty handsome.
After everyone finished introducing themselves, Teacher Zitong clapped her hands, drawing everyone’s attention to her.
“Now that you’ve all introduced yourselves, let me tell you a bit about the academy,” she said.
“There are only classes in the morning every day.
Afternoons are free time, except for today, which is an exception.
Starting tomorrow, classes officially begin, but there’s an opening ceremony every morning, so basically, you won’t have class those days.”
“As for the afternoons, you can use the time however you want.
There’s a task board in the academy where you can take on missions.
Completing them earns you credits, and the harder the mission, the more credits you get.
Credits are super important here—you need them for everything in the academy, except for the cafeteria.
There, you can use credits or money.
But everywhere else, like the weapon shop, you need credits to buy things.
And the stuff there is all top-notch.”
“In short, credits are really useful.
I won’t go into all the details now—you’ll figure it out yourselves.
As for how to earn credits, it’s simple.
One: do missions.
There’s a special task board, and you can pick what you want.
Two: you can PK with others in the arena.
If you want to bet, you can use credits.
Usually, it’s credits, but you can bet other things too—just talk it out with your opponent.”
“Alright, that’s it for today.
Don’t forget the opening ceremony tomorrow~” Zitong winked playfully at the students, then walked out of the classroom.
