Since the dormitory building in the South District was newly built this year, it looks much brighter and cleaner than other buildings.
Whether it was inspired by the planning of Feilong City or not, the new buildings in the capital city in the past two years are full of a strong "modern atmosphere".
The only remaining vestige of traditional artistry is probably the carved patterns on the door and window frames.
Xiao He and Valerie took the floating elevator from the first floor to the sixtieth floor and found dormitory number 20, with a black wooden sign hanging on the door.
South F-6020.
The dormitory door is not wide, but it is more than two meters high, with an arched top.
The two activated the access control with their school badges and pushed open the wooden door, which still smelled slightly of paint.
The room was small, with an open window, a bathroom, and three beds, but no one was in it.
Xiao He walked up to an empty table with a look of curiosity.
Next to the table is a small ladder made of wooden cabinets and bookshelves, leading to a single bed on the upper level.
Climb up the small ladder to the bed, and there's a whole wall of storage cabinets next to the bed. They're not deep, but they can be freely combined into any desired size.
"Not bad... I never thought I'd get to experience university life in my lifetime..."
Hearing her rambling, Valerie looked somewhat bewildered: "What college life?"
"Life in the High Court," Xiao He corrected.
The two brought very little luggage, and their personal belongings were all provided by the High Court. They said they came up to unpack, but it turned out they just wanted to familiarize themselves with the area and take a short rest...
"Hey, Xiao He." Valerie leaned over the edge of her bed, staring at Xiao He's feet, and asked, "How long have you been studying magic?"
"Uh..." The two feet bent up and interlocked.
"Forgot?"
"Hmm, I forgot."
“Alright then.” Valerie sighed and buried her face in the soft blankets.
Xiao He lay on the bed, one hand behind his head, the other holding a small booklet. It resembled a freshman orientation handbook, with a "Guide to Accompanying Students" attached to the last page.
The general idea is that the accompanying student's main role is to help Pattika with her studies. It's like a de facto housekeeper and nanny.
Therefore, the two were not assigned to different classes or departments. They could audit classes in their spare time, but one of them had to stay with Patika.
"She really is being treated like a princess..." Xiao He clicked his tongue.
Although Isabel had warned Valerie not to expect Xiao He to stay, Valerie would occasionally want to attend his classes, so at those times she really could only rely on Xiao He.
“Sigh…Patika is hard to get along with…” Valerie rubbed her curly hair, which soon became even more disheveled.
"Is that so?" Xiao He closed the last page of the manual. "For example?"
"I don't know how to put it... Anyway, she doesn't get along with anyone, and her temper is weird..." Valerie pouted, looking aggrieved, as if the thought of having to be with her every day made her very anxious and uncomfortable.
"Let it be." Xiao He's tone was nonchalant: "When the time is right, we'll naturally get along."
Valerie frowned and looked up at the dangling feet, her frustration still unabated.
The chirping of cicadas in early summer drifted in from outside the window again, but it sounded somewhat intermittent because of the distance.
Just as Xiao He was about to be hypnotized by the sound, the clock tower struck eleven times.
At 11:00 a.m., the High Court's classes ended.
"get out of class is over. We still have half an hour of self-study time before school ends. Shall we go to the Water System Building to wait for Patika?" Valerie put down her handbook and sat up.
The distance between the dormitory building and the teaching building is quite far; you need to arrive half an hour early to walk there.
"No rush, I have a car, take a nap a little longer..." Xiao He waved his hand groggily, pulling the blanket tighter as he did so.
“You’re so lazy.” Valerie rolled her eyes, but her body betrayed her by lying down.
Wang Xuefeng: I saw Patika.
[Xiao He: ? Where?]
[Wang Xuefeng: In our wind department, we even got into a fight with someone]
[Xiao He: Huh??]
[Wang Xuefeng: Then we couldn't beat them]
Xiao He: ...
[Wang Xuefeng: I think you should have Valerie come over.]
[Xiao He: Go]
...
"ah--!!!"
Valerie screamed and hugged herself as if that would prevent her from being thrown out of the car window.
One minute later.
The two appeared in front of the Wind System Building, which was already surrounded by a large crowd.
Xiao He looked up, and Wang Xuefeng waved from the top-floor corridor.
"When did this happen?" Xiao He asked over the voice call.
"When the bell rang, she rushed in to look for someone, but was stopped by the student council on duty. The standoff led to this situation."
"Looking for someone? Who?" Xiao He asked doubtfully, "Patika just arrived, who could she possibly know?"
“Find Lucadi,” Wang Xuefeng replied.
"Look for him? Is he also a wind-type cultivator?" Xiao He still didn't understand.
"What does she want with Lucardi? Could she be thinking of going back? But there's no point in asking Lucardi about this."
“I don’t know that. I only heard her say that she wanted to see Lucadi,” Wang Xuefeng explained.
“Generally speaking, students can move around freely during self-study time at the Wind Academy, but outsiders are not allowed to come in. Moreover, Lucadi has no intention of coming out to see her.”
"I see," Xiao He said, suddenly realizing.
Valerie pushed through the crowd and pulled Patika back, who still wanted to continue the challenge.
The latter was so angry that his face turned ashen, and his clenched fists began to tremble.
“Patika, don’t be impulsive…” Valerie patted her back frantically.
The area was full of onlookers.
They were initially very curious about Patika's attire, but then they found her angry face particularly beautiful, so they all gathered around.
The student council members guarding the gate are all seasoned veterans. Let alone Patika, who hasn't even had a chance yet, most of the entire Feng Academy wouldn't be a match for them.
Patika's attempt to gain favor with them was nothing short of delusional.
Xiao He looked around in the crowd for a while, then, taking advantage of his petite stature, squeezed to the front.
"Hey~ Good brothers~ I'm a member of the 11th group~ Can I come in~~"
"Oh?" A young man wearing a duty armband turned around and looked Xiao He up and down. "Who's from the 11th Regiment? You don't look familiar to me. What are you doing going in? Looking for Lucadi too?"
Upon hearing this, the others became even more interested in watching.
Luca Di is notorious for his bad luck; hardly any girls want to mess with him all year round. Could it be that he's suddenly suddenly attracting a lot of attention?
“No…” Xiao He twirled a strand of hair at her chest with her fingers, smiling shyly, “The person I’m looking for is named Wang Xuefeng…”
"Cough cough!" Everyone immediately started coughing.
Just as I expected! This is the norm at the entrance of the Wind Academy!
The girls who come to see Wang Xuefeng are the normal girls!
What's the meaning of coming to see Lucadi?
"Hey, junior students, just a friendly reminder: don't bother sending love letters. The fire element said they can't burn them all."
