Chapter 127 Enrollment

Soon, they arrived at the school gate.

Qian Jingyao bent down, looked into Xia Yueke's eyes, and waved at her with a smile, "Go, Yueke, be a good boy."

Xia Yue nodded vigorously, then walked into the school with brisk steps.

Qian Jingyao stood in place, his eyes closely following Xia Yueke's small figure until she completely disappeared deep in the school porch, his eyes full of reluctance to leave.

After a long while, he slowly turned around and walked back step by step, with Xia Yueke's lovely appearance constantly appearing in his mind.

On this side, Xia Yueke's eyes were shining as she looked around curiously. Everything around her exuded a fresh atmosphere to her.

The ancient stone walls and unique orc decorations all made her excited.

The little beastmen were also attracted by Xia Yueke and cast curious glances at her. However, they seemed to be frightened by some strange aura on her body. They just watched from afar and did not dare to get close.

When Xia Yue arrived at the place consisting of three or four stone houses, which looked like a classroom, he couldn't help but hesitate.

She wondered to herself, should she just go in now?

Just like in TV dramas, don’t transfer students usually have to wait for the teacher to introduce them before they make their debut?

She stood there, tapping the ground lightly with her toes, and her conflicted look was so adorable.

While she was hesitating, the other orc cubs had already become familiar with the route and were walking towards their respective stone teaching houses one after another.

Xia Yueke paced back and forth among these stone houses, and finally found the Huiqi class where he belonged, and then stopped in front of the stone house.

Suddenly, an object made of the skin of an unknown beast was knocked, making a "dong dong dong" sound that echoed in the air, which seemed to be the unique school bell here.

Upon hearing the sound, the cubs' movements instantly quickened, as if urged on by an invisible force.

"Xia Yueke, come here!"

Just as Xia Yueke was about to step into the classroom, a cold male voice came from an icy peak, breaking the surrounding noise.

It was Qi'an. He had a tall and straight figure, a white robe fluttering in the wind, and a stern face like a carved ice sculpture, exuding an aura that kept strangers away.

Xia Yueke turned around, a sweet smile blooming on her face, and she called out in a soft and sweet voice, very obediently:

"Hello, Master Qi'an~"

That look was completely different from his resistance to Qi'an two days ago.

Xia Yuekeke is not a fool. After all, she heard that Qi'an is like a boss here. What if this guy really does something bad to her?

She doesn't think orcs should be tolerant!

Qi'an's dark eyes were as deep as a night pool. When he heard the greeting, a hint of barely perceptible surprise flashed in his eyes.

He knew very well that most cubs hold grudges, and he was surprised that Xia Yueke, who had treated him badly just two days ago, was so polite today.

However, he remained calm and composed, nodded slightly, and said:

"Yeah. Come in with me!"

Although his tone was cold, it also carried a subtle hint of gentleness.

Xia Yueke hugged her animal skin bag tightly and followed Qi'an obediently.

As soon as he stepped into the big stone house, which was spacious and bright, more than twenty little orc cubs looked at him with curiosity and scrutiny.

Some of the cubs opened their eyes wide and stared at Xia Yueke, as if they wanted to see through her.

Some were whispering to each other, their furry ears twitching from time to time, and they were talking in low voices about this unfamiliar fellow.

Some of the cubs tilted their heads slightly, their eyes full of confusion, as if they were guessing Xia Yueke's origins.

Xia Yueke still had a smile on her face, not showing any panic at all.

Qi'an walked to the front of the house with steady steps.

In the middle of the room stood a smooth and flat podium made from a huge stone. On it were placed some oddly shaped stone slabs used as teaching tools, as well as a crystal ball emitting a faint glow.

Below the podium, small wooden tables were neatly arranged. In front of each wooden table sat an orc cub. Behind them were small cushions woven from hay, providing some comfort for long periods of study.

Xia Yuke was a little surprised when she saw this environment. She didn't expect that it was comparable to the modern teaching environment.

As soon as Qi'an came in, all the orc cubs immediately quieted down, as if they were extremely afraid of him.

"My dear youngsters, this is our new cub, Xia Yueke. He will study with you in the Huiqi class from now on."

Qi'an's voice was cold and echoed in the stone house, carrying unquestionable majesty.

After hearing Qi'an's words, Xia Yueke knew it was her turn to take the stage.

She bowed slightly and politely greeted her classmates, "Hello everyone, my name is Xia Yueke. I'm very happy to meet you. I hope we can travel here together in the future, become close friends, and accompany each other in the days to come."

After saying that, she winked mischievously.

There seemed to be twenty cubs in total, five of which were females and the rest were males.

The expressions of the little beastmen were wonderful. Some of the cubs were so frightened that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets and their jaws almost dropped.

"She...how could she be so calm and composed? My tongue was tied before and I couldn't speak clearly.

Some of them excitedly hugged their companions, even wagging their tails uncontrollably, and shouted:

"Wow, she's amazing! I used to be so scared to perform in front of everyone!"

Those timid orc cubs admired him even more.

The two short female cubs sitting in the front row also had expressions of amazement and admiration on their faces. One of them whispered to the other:

"She seemed to be radiating light. I wish I had half her courage."

Qi'an looked at the scene in front of him and nodded slightly, without any surprise in his heart. As early as a few days ago, he knew that this female cub was very brave, and it turned out to be true.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet."

Qi'an coughed lightly, and the classroom instantly returned to calm. The little beastmen all sat up straight, their eyes looking at Qi'an.

"Xia Yueke, go sit in the empty seat over there first."

Qi An pointed to an empty seat in the back row.

Xia Yueke responded, holding the animal skin bag, and walked over briskly.

As she passed by a group of little orcs, she smiled and nodded to a few of the cubs who gave her friendly looks.

After sitting down, she looked curiously at the school supplies on the table, including animal hair brushes that emitted a faint scent of ink, and some wooden pieces engraved with runes.

Qi'an began formal teaching.

"Today, I will teach you the basics of arithmetic: addition and subtraction."

After saying this, he picked up a stone tablet engraved with numerical runes and showed it to everyone. "This is the number from one to ten, which is what we discussed earlier."

Qi'an's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the stone house.
