Chapter 207: Meet an Acquaintance Again (3k)
“Knock knock!”
Making a stopping gesture to Su Jiu and the others, Tang Feng stepped forward and gently knocked on the door, jokingly saying, “What’s wrong, Miss Lu? Which freshman got on your bad side?”
Beside a desk piled with books, Lu Yu held a file. The file contained a photo of Su Jiu wearing a high school long-sleeved shirt and pants, with dead fish eyes. Although it was only a few months ago, compared to now, the photo had a visible sense of youthfulness.
Tang Feng and Lu Yu were both seniors, and they knew each other.
The latter closed the file in her hand, tapped her glasses, and found Tang Feng standing at the door. She said helplessly, “Ai, it’s this special recruit. Her phone is always off, but the school strictly requires everyone to participate in the assessment…”
She paused mid-sentence, suddenly thought of something, and said with a hint of schadenfreude, “Wait, she seems to be assigned to your class. Your performance is going to suffer.”
Tang Feng rolled his eyes at his good friend’s teasing and said indifferently, “So what if it’s bad? When has my performance ever been good… I’m here for two things. First, your admissions office needs to provide some protection to certain freshmen recently…”
Without waiting for Tang Feng to finish, Lu Yu waved her hand, looking at him with a serious expression, and said gravely, “I’ve already received news from junior Huang Feng. I just sent another colleague to check if any freshmen have been harmed. The list of students who haven’t reported yet in my hands includes not only this student Su Jiu but also five or six other freshmen.”
“Five or six? Then it seems you’re particularly annoyed with this Su Jiu.” Tang Feng beckoned to Su Jiu and the others outside the door, smiling and saying, “I have one more thing to tell you. This person seems to be our alumnus, and she needs to handle some matters at the admissions office. We were saved by her this time…”
Su Jiu saw the gesture and obediently walked over, without any excessive movements, just like a student, blinking.
It seemed that Senior Sister Lu Yu was particularly irritable. Her attitude yesterday was so good, but today she was like a different person, constantly mentioning her name.
“Because Su Jiu is different from those other students; her father solemnly said he couldn’t control her anymore. What is this?”
“Which freshman can get into Mo University isn’t excited? It’s just that she runs around everywhere… Saved you? She must be at least a High-Rank Battle General, right?”
Lu Yu shifted her gaze from Tang Feng’s face to Su Jiu’s, first stunned, then her expression darkened, and she suddenly said, “You finally know to report?”
“Report? What do you mean?”
Lu Yu’s words confused Tang Feng. She looked around at Su Jiu and Tang Feng, finding Su Jiu exceptionally well-behaved, blinking helplessly like an ordinary student—helpless my ass!
An absurd conclusion formed in her mind. She looked at her good friend with trepidation, hoping for an option that she had mistaken the person.
At this moment, even if Su Jiu was slow, she knew that these people had probably mistaken her. She immediately took out her admission notice from her storage bag and said with a light laugh, “My phone ran out of battery. Here’s my admission notice.”
“Ran out of battery?”
Lu Yu took the notice, frowned, nodded slightly, looked her up and down, handed Su Jiu a yellow, translucent card, and then called over a sophomore girl, waving her away impatiently:
“This is our school’s campus card. You’ll need it for entry and exit from now on. Follow this senior sister to your dorm to check in.”
Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she turned to Su Jiu in the room and continued to instruct, “By the way… the entrance assessment has already started today. The venue will be open from 9 AM to 9 PM. You must report there.”
“Okay,” Su Jiu said gratefully and left the admissions office with the girl and Bairnis.
As Su Jiu and the others left, the entire admissions office fell into a deep silence. Bai Ming and Tang Feng stared blankly at Lu Yu, making her frown uncomfortably: “Where is the person who saved you? Huang Feng also said a very powerful senior who killed a High-Rank Battle General with three swords.”
That senior should be the one who called her by mistake, but with so many calls these days, the admissions office’s landline no longer had records, and she could only thank them in person.
“Uh… that person is the Su Jiu you mentioned. Is it okay to have her participate in this kind of assessment?” Tang Feng looked at the admission notice in the other person’s hand, fell silent for a moment, and then said in disbelief.
She was genuinely worried that the senior students might also be killed with a single sword.
“What?”
Lu Yu thought she had misheard and confirmed with Tang Feng multiple times. She fell silent… Looking at the admission notice in her hand, she suddenly remembered that the person who called by mistake earlier seemed to have a voice similar to Su Jiu’s.
The powerful senior who could casually kill a High-Rank Battle General is actually my junior schoolmate? Novels wouldn’t dare to write this, right?
…
While she was questioning life, Su Jiu and the other had already arranged their luggage. After Bairnis spread out the bedding, she said softly to Su Jiu, “Miss, I’ll just stay in the spiritual space at night.”
Hearing this, Su Jiu glanced at the four-person room. It seemed to have luggage, but they didn’t seem to be back yet. Pouting, she turned her head to Bairnis and playfully tapped her head, saying, “What spiritual space! You’ll sleep with me tonight. Aren’t you a warming-up maid? You’ll be responsible for warming the room tonight.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Bairnis lowered her head slightly, a hidden hint of red appearing on her ears, covered by her hair.
The student who brought them to the dorm watched their actions, her mouth twitching. What era is this to bring a female servant to school and play like this—what does spiritual space mean? Isn’t that where beast pets can only enter? Frowning, she said, “Are you ready? Director Lu also asked me to take junior Su Jiu to report for the entrance assessment. I heard there’s also an arranged match between the Black Dragon Princess and the school today.”
“Black Dragon Princess?” Hearing this title, Su Jiu couldn’t help but picture that figure in her mind, Little White… I wonder how she is now.
“You’ll know when you see it. Although she’s also a freshman, she seems to have undergone intense training, reaching the half-step Battle General level early with her extremely strong bloodline… She’s not comparable to ordinary students like us.”
After the girl finished speaking, she led Su Jiu and the other towards the largest combat area in the school, which was a vast open area between the Magic City’s Green Campus and the Main Campus.
The biggest difference between the two campuses is whether they have reached the Battle General level. Once they reach the Battle General level, they can advance from the Green Campus to the Main Campus.
…
The entrance examination, as one of Mo University’s customs, naturally attracted a lot of attention. Various spectators gathered, and some even set up private betting pools.
Moreover, at this entrance examination, the prominent figures among the senior students would all appear, which was an immense attraction for the freshmen who regarded these people as their idols and objects of admiration.
Therefore, although the school had already prepared the largest square in the academy as a backup, it was still crowded with people even at night.
Not only freshmen but also senior students squeezed their way into the seats in the plaza. From a distance, it was a sea of black heads, and the thunderous cheers reached the sky.
The competition stage was square-shaped, with opposing sides rising in tiers, somewhat like the beast-fighting arena Su Jiu usually saw in illusions. The surrounding crowd could clearly see the environment within.
At this moment, on the competition field, two figures, one male and one female, flashed and crossed each other. The clang of weapons and the intense air currents and explosions caused bursts of exclamation from the surrounding spectators.
However, more than half of the gazes from the stands were clearly fixed on the lovely girl in a white plain dress, with a calm expression and dragon claws appearing in her hands.
“Clang!”
The two clashed again. The girl’s eyes were as clear and cold as water. She pressed her long sword against the opponent’s wolf tooth club, and her other hand, with the dragon claw, gathered golden light and gently pressed it towards the opponent’s chest. With a “bang!”, the boy was repelled outside the arena.
“Is this enough? I’ve completed what the school said, defeating ten senior students consecutively. I should get the White Origin Fruit they promised, right?”
The girl looked at the teachers and senior student cadres on the judges’ bench like she had completed a mission and asked softly.
The boy who was repelled quickly got up, looked at her with fear, and then bowed his head and cupped his fists, saying, “As expected of the Black Dragon Princess among the freshmen, to reach the half-step Battle General level right after entering university.”
“Bai Qianyu, winner!” Hearing the roar from the judges’ table, the girl’s smile grew brighter.
The judges exchanged glances and were about to agree, as this was what had been agreed upon earlier.
“I disagree!” A voice came from the center of the judges’ bench.
On the upper seats, sitting in the center was a tall girl with fiery red hair.
She was also wearing a student uniform, but the people around her did not dare to show any disrespect because only the student union president of the third year could sit here—Hu Ling, a strong individual who was close to the Battle King Level.
She stood up gently, her gaze falling on the girl with a sense of intensity. Then, her red lips parted slightly, “If you were to take it yourself, it would be fine. But you are fighting for a student who has not yet reported. Is this not against the rules?”
As soon as this was said, the already excited crowd erupted as if they had been scalded. They couldn’t believe that this arrogant Black Dragon Princess was challenging consecutively for someone!!
