After the qualification ceremony, all the winning students became students of this school, and the losers left sadly. After the ceremony, the students came to the classroom, waiting for the start of their new college life.
Fang Zheng didn't care about this at all. He sat in the last row, silently flipping through the novel in his hand. For Fang Zheng, this was not the first time he had such a school life. Hmm... But if you think about it carefully, he was still better than Illya and Xiao Hei. These two poor little kids had to start from elementary school every time they traveled through the world, and they had to go to school. They were almost crying.
After all, going to elementary school forever is not something to be happy about. At least high school life is more colorful.
Soon, other students also walked into the classroom one after another, but they all avoided Fang Zheng intentionally or unintentionally. After all, the power he just displayed was too terrifying, and he looked like a stranger was not allowed to enter, so no one dared to go up and say hello to him. Fang Zheng was also happy about this. After all, he came here to brush up his Boss resume, not to play some happy friend game here.
But not long after, Fang Zheng felt someone coming in front of him. He looked up and saw a girl with long silver-white hair and red eyes standing there, staring at him. Noticing Fang Zheng's gaze, she lowered her head and bowed to Fang Zheng, who nodded to her. Then the silver-haired girl sat down next to Fang Zheng.
Although this silver-haired girl was very pretty and cute, and attracted the attention of many people in the class, Fang Zheng didn't care at all. He also noticed that the girl had been staring at him since she sat down. However, Fang Zheng just flipped through the novel in his hand and didn't react.
After a while, students entered the classroom one after another, and then...
"Hello! Hello! You've worked hard on the entrance exam. Congratulations on getting in!"
Accompanied by a lively and cheerful voice, suddenly, a woman wearing a bunny girl maid costume and bunny ears jumped in from the window and greeted everyone with a smile. Facing this extraordinary woman, the students were obviously confused and didn't know how to react. At this moment, the bunny girl also came to the podium and posed for everyone with a smile.
"Hello everyone, I'm Tsukimi Rito. From today on, I'll be your homeroom teacher, so please give me your guidance. Don't be too unfamiliar, just call me Mr. Rabbit, okay?"
“…”
Looking at the teacher in bunny girl maid clothes, the students were still dumbfounded and speechless. But Fang Zheng turned the page of the book in his hand again without caring - it wasn't Monokuma who came anyway, so why should he care?
After being stunned for a while, Tsukimi Rito finally got serious and started asking everyone to introduce themselves. Fang Zheng also said his name. Of course, in this world, his last name was "Kasugano"... After all, this was also an alias that Fang Zheng often used outside. He did this when he was in Magic High School. Here, he just used it again.
The silver-haired girl next to him also introduced herself. Her name was Julie Sigtuna and she was from Northern Europe. This also caused a lot of surprise among the students. After all, it was indeed very rare for someone to come to Academy City from Northern Europe to study.
After introducing herself, Tsukimi Rito briefed the students on the general situation of life in the school and the system of the Twin Blades.
Fang Zheng knew more than Tsukimi Rito about why this school adopted this system. After all, Kyujuku Sakuya had told Fang Zheng that the goal of the Dawn Organization was to strive for a higher position and participate in the Star Warrior Festival to demonstrate their strength.
The Star Martial Arts Festival is a three-year cycle, with a competition held every year. They are the "Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival" in the first year, the "Griffin Star Martial Arts Festival" in the second year, and the "Dragon King Star Martial Arts Festival" in the third year.
The Phoenix Star Martial Festival is a two-person team competition, the Griffin Star Martial Festival is a five-person team competition, and the Dragon King Star Martial Festival is a single-player competition.
The Dawn Organization doesn't intend to take their time to do a good job, so they simply and crudely aim for the Phoenix Star Martial Festival first, ensuring at least two people fighting in a team, then the team competition, and finally the individual competition... then it all depends on strength and luck.
Therefore, the system of "Twin Blades" was adopted, and the selected combinations needed to be paired up in pairs and live together with their partners.
"Now comes the key point!"
As she spoke, the bunny girl slapped the table hard.
"The official bond will be decided by the weekend, so until then, you'll just have to live with the temporary bond. As for the temporary bond, it's just like the entrance ceremony. The person sitting next to you is your partner."
Having said this, the bunny girl even winked at Fang Zheng.
"Congratulations, Kasugano-kun. There are 37 boys and 15 girls in this year's freshman class, so you will be the only one living with a silver-haired beauty? How is that? Are you lucky? Oh, by the way, be careful not to develop an impure relationship with the opposite sex. To be more specific, do something that cannot be easily said in the classroom, resulting in a third roommate or something like that... But that is absolutely not allowed, okay?"
"oh."
Facing the bunny girl's powerful speech, Fang Zheng simply replied calmly without even raising his head. This made the bunny girl feel a little discouraged and she lowered her head helplessly.
After that, it’s just a matter of going through the process and then being assigned a dormitory.
For Fang Zheng, there was nothing to say. The only thing that surprised him was that the beds in the dormitory were bunk beds. He originally thought that there would be two beds, but he didn't expect that they would be bunk beds... This is really a flashback to my youth.
Do you want to hang a mosquito net or something on it?
Julie slept on the lower bunk, and Fang Zheng slept on the upper bunk. After deciding on the assigned positions, Fang Zheng simply packed up and climbed onto his own bed.
"Then I'll sleep on it, and you can do as you please."
"OK."
After a brief conversation, Fang Zheng continued to lie on the bed and browsed his phone, while Julie started to pack her luggage downstairs - after all, girls need to prepare more things.
What a hassle.
Listening to the voices coming from below, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly. He had originally told Jiujiu Sakuya that he had no interest in any combination, and that he could keep killing people even if he was alone. However, Jiujiu Sakuya said that the Dawn Organization hoped to make a name for itself in the Star Martial Festival as soon as possible, so if Fang Zheng had a partner, he could participate in the Phoenix Star Martial Festival in the first year and the Griffin Star Martial Festival in the second year, and he didn't have to wait until the third year to participate in the Dragon King's individual battle.
Having said that, it is estimated that no one would want to team up with him. Anyway, he has to formally apply for a partner in a week. Until then, he can just slack off. If no one comes to find him, Jiuju Sakuya will not be able to speak for himself.
"that……"
Just as Fang Zheng was thinking, Julie's voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Hmm? What's up?"
"Can I take a shower?"
"Of course, go take a shower."
Fang Zheng nodded, and with permission, Julie took her clothes and went into the locker room. Fang Zheng yawned, and then... closed his eyes.
When Fang Zheng woke up from his sleep, the first thing he felt was the warm touch in his arms.
“……???”
He lowered his head and saw a little white-haired head lying in his arms.
I lifted the quilt and saw that he was wearing clothes but no socks.
Not Esther.
“Woo…”
At this moment, the little white-haired head also woke up. She rubbed her eyes, raised her head to look at Fang Zheng, and greeted him expressionlessly.
"morning."
"Morning, Julie, may I ask why you are sleeping next to me?"
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Julie was stunned for a moment, then slowly got up. She turned her head and looked around carefully, as if she was trying to grasp the current situation.
"Ah...I was a little sleepy last night."
Then, she spoke calmly.
"I felt very warm, so I crawled in."
“…”
What kind of talk is this from a young animal? I sleep on the upper bunk, and it would be fine if I slept on the lower bunk... never mind.
"Get up and change your clothes. It's time to get ready for class."
Fang Zheng didn't mind, and although Julie seemed a little embarrassed after she came to her senses, it was not noticeable because she had a blank expression on her face.
There was nothing much to say about the content of the class, but in order to make many people adapt to the power of the Dawn Star Mark as quickly as possible and improve their physical fitness, the school also conducted a lot of Spartan training. For example, the physical training course required running a 40-kilometer marathon. If it were an ordinary student, it would be basically impossible to stick to it. But now, because the Dawn Star Mark has enhanced their strength, most of them can also finish the run within two hours.
This shows how powerful the Star Vein Generation is.
In addition, there are also hand-to-hand combat courses... However, Fang Zheng just stood aside, lazily slacking off.
It wasn't that he skipped classes, but because no one in the male group dared to fight him. It wasn't because Fang Zheng was strong, but because his aura was too terrifying. Just by standing in front of them, most people were so scared that their legs were weak and trembling, and they didn't have the courage to fight. In addition, the blow at the opening ceremony also scared away a lot of people. Fang Zheng himself was not an easy person to approach, so everyone tacitly avoided him.
Anyway, there are an odd number of boys, so no matter how they are grouped, there will always be someone left behind, right?
So Fang Zheng lazily sat around and watched the women's competition.
After all, girls' fights are more entertaining to watch.
Women's wrestling is also more exciting than men's wrestling.
In the girls' group, Julie was competing against another black-haired girl. They were equally strong and the fight was a close one. In the end, it ended in a draw. Julie said a few words to the black-haired girl and then left to look for other girls. However, the other girls seemed to be frightened by her sparring with the black-haired girl, and no one dared to be her opponent.
So after a while, Julie also left the competition venue and came to Fang Zheng's side.
"No one trains with you?"
"Um."
Facing Fang Zheng's question, Julie nodded slightly.
“They said they were not strong enough.”
Having said that, Julie raised her head and looked at Fang Zheng.
"And you?"
"I would like to, but the problem is that none of those cowards dare to come to me."
Fang Zheng spread his hands helplessly. Actually, there was no other way. A half-baked school like Haoling Academy didn't have a long history or fame, so it naturally couldn't attract many strong and outstanding students. If it was those more outstanding students, they could choose other schools.
After all, how high can you expect the quality of people who come to a school with free food and accommodation to be?
In fact, after the training in the past few days, several students have chosen to drop out because they could not keep up with the high-intensity training. They are not strong enough and their willpower is weak... No wonder the Dawn Organization had to find a way. If it followed the normal route, Haoling Academy would probably not even be able to make a cameo appearance in the Star Martial Festival.
After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Julie was silent for a moment, then she looked at Fang Zheng.
"Can you please be my opponent?"
"Oh? Is that okay? I won't show mercy, okay?"
“Yeah.”
Facing Fang Zheng's question, Julie nodded.
"I've been interested in you since the first time I saw you fight."
“Oh…I see.”
Fang Zheng finally understood why Julie had always stared at him.
"Oh well."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng shook his shoulders and stood up.
"I'd like to make it clear in advance that you can't blame me if you get beaten and cry, okay?"
