Chapter 12: Invitation I believe you have already received the invitation to the Fenrir family's evening...
Zhou Bai looked for a long time and found nothing unusual, so he felt relieved.
Yun Fuyu said sullenly, "Sorry, I didn't notice the time. I don't know why I never felt sleepy... I only realized four days had passed after finishing training."
He quickly added, "I didn't mean to not reply to messages."
Zhou Bai was slightly confused.
He didn't know any other friendly psychics, so he didn't quite understand what was going on.
"As long as you feel okay, that's fine. Maybe there's something special about the affinity-type mental power that makes you feel less sleepy?"
As he spoke, Zhou Bai rubbed Yun Fuyu's head.
Yun Fuyu tried to avoid him, but he held her down again: "I haven't washed my hair..."
Zhou Bai laughed and said, "It's okay, it's quite clean."
The hair in your palm feels soft and fluffy, and feels great.
Yun Fuyu was not used to this kind of close contact, and her whole body felt a little stiff.
Zhou Bai asked without noticing, "Did you run into Adrian? Someone on the forum took a picture of him, and it's been trending for a few days. I'm a little worried they'll cause trouble for you."
As he spoke, he showed Yun Fuyu the photo in the communicator.
The picture was dark, and the slender freshman stood with Adrian.
Yun Fuyu's snow-white neck and earlobes were particularly conspicuous in the darkness.
…When did they take the photo?
It was obvious that Yun Fuyu separated immediately after the collision, but it was captured in the same way that it looked like he was harassing Adrian.
As for Adrian's attitude, Yun Fuyu felt that he probably acquiesced.
After all, Yun Fuyu only had a back view in the photo, but Adrian's face was in the picture, and it was posted on the forum so openly.
Yun Fuyu explained the reason to Zhou Bai as they walked.
Zhou Bai: "Luckily, you reacted quickly and didn't get caught up by them. These nobles are more disgusting than each other."
Zhou Bai said this, clenching his fists, feeling angry and powerless.
*
Lin Chaosheng had also sent a message asking about it, but when Yun Fuyu was free to reply, he had disappeared again.
Zhou Bai said that Lin Chaosheng works part-time on campus during his spare time during training and has been quite busy recently.
The First Military Academy does not allow students to enter and leave freely during the semester. If they want to earn some money to supplement their family income, they can only apply for a position in the school.
Zhou Bai: "His family has a hard time too. He's the only child, and they live a tight life while still having to pay taxes. At least I have younger brothers and sisters at home who can look after me."
Both of their hometowns are close to polluted areas, and their elderly parents inevitably become ill due to pollution and need purification treatment.
The number of priests capable of purification is far less than the number of people in need, and they are often too busy to care for civilians.
Expensive life-sustaining drugs account for the main part of expenses. Even if you stop working, you can’t stop making a living, but your income cannot be cut off.
Yun Fuyu listened quietly.
Compared with the glamour of the aristocrats in the military academy, this world is not some beautiful fictional world.
Scarce resources, the pressure of life, increasingly serious pollution, and an uncertain future are just a small part of the civilians' busy and tiring lives.
Perhaps after Zhou Bai and Lin Chaosheng graduate, they'll be able to improve the situation. Or perhaps...
They were unable to take care of themselves and had to follow the old path of their predecessors. Like other commoner students who became new aristocrats, they took their families and left far away, leaving their difficulties behind.
The topic is a bit heavy.
Zhou Bai sighed, "Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Let's take it one step at a time!"
Yun Fuyu nodded.
When the few of them chatted, they always tacitly agreed not to mention Yun Fuyu's "identity" - because he claimed to be an orphan who grew up in an orphanage in Yuanguta area and lost his memory due to an accident.
Perhaps it was because he knew that Yun Fuyu could not have any happy childhood memories, so it would be better for him to lose his memory and forget everything.
*
The nobles who had previously vandalized Yun Fuyu's dorm haven't been active these past few days. It's best to just forget about it once the excitement wears off.
Zhou Bai had tried several times to persuade Yun Fuyu to move in with him for a few days to avoid the limelight.
Anyway, there is enough space for the bed in the single dormitory.
However, according to military academy regulations, students are not allowed to move into the same dormitory without permission.
Yun Fuyu didn't want to implicate him, so Zhou Bai had to settle for the next best thing. Using his years of skills in hunting star beasts in the forest, he set up some small anti-intrusion devices in Yun Fuyu's room, which were hidden and difficult to detect.
If someone tries to break in, they will definitely leave traces.
Zhou Bai started checking outside the door, then inside the door and the window.
None of the devices were activated.
It seems that no trouble has come during the days that Yun Fuyu was away.
Zhou Bai put the device back in place and said, "I think this matter is probably not over yet. You must be more alert when you sleep at night.
However, I heard that the students who were recently promoted to the inner courtyard are participating in the club recruitment activities these days, so they probably won’t be able to come.”
The First Military Academy has a rich variety of club activities, but this is only for inner courtyard students.
If you want to join the club, you must first pass the joint military exercise and become a formal inner courtyard student.
The nature of these societies is far from that of ordinary schools - both their names and their purpose are closely related to the families that control the Seven Towers.
On the surface it is a society, but in reality it is a way for the children of the nobility to stick together.
Talents from our own family naturally want to join our own clubs.
As for the outstanding civilian freshmen who have no place to belong, they will become resources that will be divided up by the clubs, and the clubs will recruit them at the appropriate time.
For the nobles, it is to recruit subordinates; for the freshmen, it is the fastest way to become new nobles and make the leap to success.
*
Logically speaking, the club's recruitment has nothing to do with Yun Fuyu, a freshman from the external school.
Unexpectedly, when Yun Fuyu checked her communicator before going to bed, a letter quietly appeared in the notification bar.
The color scheme is at odds with the school system's usual blue color scheme.
The black envelope icon and dark gold text specifically confirmed the identity of the recipient: "To: Yun Fuyu"
There is a wax seal pattern on the seal position.
The ancient and complex emblem looks quite old. It is a simple and ferocious wolf head in profile, which seems to be roaring angrily.
This family crest means "Fenrir".
One of the original founders of the Seven Pagodas, the actual ruler of Yuangu Pagoda and Yunya Pagoda, and the only family in charge of two pagodas.
Yun Fuyu clicked on the envelope icon.
What can be called gorgeous special effects appeared on the light screen.
The envelope unfolded, light shone, and as the dark golden feather pen moved, cursive words slowly emerged.
“
As an outstanding talent, you are our chosen partner.
We cordially invite you to our dinner on Friday.
Location: Spear of Fenrir
Time: Friday evening 8:00 PM
”
It was unsigned, but no one in this school would dare impersonate Fenrir.
There's not even a way to refuse contact.
Yun Fuyu originally planned to pretend not to see it.
As a result, someone came to the door early the next morning.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Classmate Yun Fuyu, are you there?"
A polite and gentle voice came from the distance through the door, vaguely and familiarly.
Yun Fuyu, with her hair disheveled and in her pajamas, opened the door and was met with Lancelot's gentle and handsome face.
Lancelot was wearing the daily formal attire of an inner court student, his blond hair was neatly combed, and even the movement of knocking on the door was as elegant and gentle as a textbook.
Yun Fuyu: “…”
Lancelot smiled and said, "I believe you have received the invitation to the Fenrir family's dinner party. I am here to deliver the dress."
The author has something to say:
