“East City, Forest Park, the biggest tree…”
On September 1st, early morning, Ximen Ping was reluctantly strolling around the park with a bulky backpack and a suitcase.
He realized, he had indeed packed too much.
The entrance to the Mysterious Academy was actually a tree!
The sensation of climbing with heavy baggage was truly awful.
However, there were many people in the park at this time, not just sunrise exercisers, but also parents who seemed to be sending their children to school, participating in the ‘heavy climbing’ activity.
“The biggest tree is at the top of the hill in the east. Quick!”
Luckily, they served as guides, allowing Ximen Ping to finally find his destination.
“Finally here…”
He panted heavily as he climbed a small hill, looking at the giant ancient tree: “What next?”“Next, take out your admission letter.”
A member of the Heavenly Network standing nearby reminded him, “Don’t be scared… move forward!”
“But there’s a cliff ahead.”
Ximen Ping opened his mouth, surprised, but still took out his admission notice.
Suddenly, his view was transformed, and a thick fog enveloped him.
“Move forward? Could this be Illusion Technique?”
In the fog, he seemed to see some form of construction.
Dragging his luggage, Ximen Ping moved forward and found the fog around him receding, revealing an Arc de Triomphe in front of him.
“East City Mystery College? I’m here!”
He excitedly looked around, noticing the same fog, from which excited students continuously emerged.
The sky was filled with light, but there was no sun to be seen.
“This is the Secret Realm! Space technology… truly miraculous.”
Next to him, another young man holding an admission letter sighed.
The man was only carrying a backpack, and his clothing and shoes looked limited-edition and expensive, which made Ximen Ping feel inferior.
Simultaneously, he regretted, ‘Why did I bring so much stuff?’
The young man extended a hand towards him, “Hello, I’m a freshman, Han Fan!”
“Hello, my name is Ximen Ping.”
There was not an ounce of arrogance in the other man’s demeanor, but rather he was very approachable. He responded with a sunny smile and offered to help with the suitcase, “Let me help you.” ȑÁΝ𝔬ᛒЁs̈
“Uh… thank you very much.”
Ximen Ping felt awkward, but he was too exhausted to decline.
“It’s alright, we’re going to be classmates, so we should help each other.”
Han Fan responded sincerely.
His attitude was absolutely right. Those who relied on their family backgrounds to be bullies on the first day of school mainly existed in novels.
Not to mention, if the others were provoked, the consequences definitely wouldn’t be good.
At the very least, all the second-generation individuals he recognized had approachable faces. They were all subtly faking modesty.
‘I really did bump into a good person…’
Ximen Ping murmured to himself, curiously looking around, “There are no parents here.”
“This is the Secret Realm where the school is located, similar to a small world or a blessed fairyland. Only those who have permission’ can enter. Our admission notice is a one-time key.”
Han Fan had already understood this.
“So it’s like that…”
Ximen Ping nodded, finally understanding.
“Not only that… this key is also bound to us. I knew several people who stole and snatched it, planning to impersonate others to study here, but they couldn’t even get through the door, even if they had plastic surgery…”
Han Fan sneered.
“You really know a lot…”
Ximen Ping sincerely praised, and together with Han Fan, they entered the door and assembled on the plaza made of Songhua stone.
“All new students, please go to your specialized professor to register and receive your dormitory key and daily necessities.”
A loudspeaker on the plaza continuously broadcasted this message.
Ximen Ping and Han Fan both specialized in mysterious studies. They applied at a young professor’s location and received the key to their dormitory.
The young professor reminded them, “After lunch, there’ll be a speech from the principal. Afterward, rest for the day. From 9 am tomorrow, classes will start on the first floor of the teaching building… don’t roam around aimlessly, even though you can’t leave… Moreover, there are many magical creatures here. Be careful not to provoke them, or the one who ends up in a gruesome end will definitely be you!”
Ximen Ping felt like Liu Laolao entering Da Guan Yuan, he simply nodded without any other reaction.
His eyes were already attracted to the numerous bizarre plants and even more fascinating creatures.
“Huh? There are even foreign students?”
He saw other student teams, curious.
“Mysterious Academy enrolls students worldwide. Of course, the requirements for foreign students are stricter. They must be able to fluently speak Mandarin, and the student count mustn’t exceed 50. The primary section has lower requirements.”
Han Fan pointed to the side.
In the primary section, fewer people were recruited. All were children under the age of twelve.
Among them was a blonde, blue-eyed boy who wore a black robe, a standard wizard costume. He was clearly a Harry fan.
…
Ximen Ping and Han Fan first tidied up the dormitory and found that the living supplies were very well prepared. There was only no internet connection, which would make internet addicts mourn for a while.
Moreover, each person had a separate bedroom. Four people shared a living room and a bathroom, and all were well soundproofed.
Besides, the food in the cafeteria was also delicious, as if a renowned chef had been hired.
After a satisfying meal, Ximen Ping excitedly arrived on the plaza.
The plaza was vast, easily accommodating a thousand people.
At this point, a podium had already been set up in front of him.
Su Lu, dressed in formal attire, glanced at Bai Tong, who was organizing documents nearby, “Is this… a pregnancy? It’s happening so quickly…”
He straightened his collar and stepped up onto the podium: “Hello, students!”
Ximen Ping anxiously watched the young man on stage. So young, not even thirty years old, right? Is this the principal of the Mysterious Academy?
“Bai Jing, perhaps currently the number one person in regards to mystery, possesses numerous intimidating techniques…”
Next to him, Han Fan murmured in excitement.
Gill looked at the young man on the stage, slightly regretful, “Why isn’t it a white-bearded old man?”
However, after they saw Su Lu’s gaze, they couldn’t help but calm down. The entire plaza suddenly fell silent.
Su Lu simply stood there, but he was awe-inspiring, carrying an enormous pressure.
‘This is a Transcendent, one person’s power reaching such a level…’
In Han Fan’s heart, he silently told himself, ‘Someday, I also want to become someone like that!’
Su Lu smiled faintly and began his speech: “The world has undergone drastic changes… As the principal of the Mysterious Academy, I hope that you can all find what you need here. I have prepared the wine of longevity, and hope that someday, we can enjoy it together…”
