Chapter 44 Misty Paradise
Registration begins on the first day, and classes officially start on the second day.
Chen set his alarm early. Although he was still sleepy when the alarm woke him up after several months of studying, he jumped out of bed in one go.
Hidden beside him, Xiao Shi nodded in satisfaction: Not bad, not bad, the little boy is very self-disciplined.
After eating and drinking his fill, Achen changed into his new school uniform.
This is the uniform issued by the academy: a long robe printed with dark silver runes, and a pair of boots with dark silver runes painted on the surface.
The academy's uniforms are said to be made by the weapon-refining system, and they can automatically stretch and fit the body according to the size of the person. Ah Chen accepted this well.
Because before this, his godmother, Madam Xuan, had given him a similar set of clothes.
Based on the map that Instructor Chang gave him yesterday, Achen quickly found the talisman-making system.
The gate and walls of the talisman-making department were engraved with dark silver runes, which matched the uniform he was wearing.
As Achen walked down the street, he saw students wearing uniforms with different patterns and realized that the different patterns on the uniforms represented different departments.
He was about to take out his student card to swipe and enter the Talisman Making Department when he heard an arrogant voice behind him: "Hey! Who are you, brat? Did you get into the academy through connections?"
When Ah Chen turned around, he saw a sturdy boy who was a head taller than him, and looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old.
He looked around again and found that there was no one else around, only him and the strong young man in front of him.
"Idiot! What are you looking at? Your Grandpa Rock is talking about you!" The burly boy raised an eyebrow and glared at him.
Achen: ...
What did he do to deserve this? He ran into a lunatic first thing in the morning?
"Big brother, if you're mentally ill, you need to get treatment! You can't be afraid to seek medical help!" Ah Chen lightly jumped up and patted his shoulder from above.
Then he turned around, took out his student card, swiped it at the gate, and the gate automatically opened a passage that could accommodate one person at a time. Ah Chen stepped inside.
The passageway closed automatically behind him, bumping into the nose of the burly boy who was rushing towards him.
"Damn! You little brat's got some nerve! You even dare to mess with your grandpa Pan Shi. If I don't beat you so badly today that you'll ask to drop out of school, I'm not a Gu!" Gu Pan Shi rubbed his red nose and clenched his fist.
He wasn't in the talisman-making department, but that didn't matter. He had a few close friends in the talisman-making department, so dealing with a freshman should be more than enough!
The reason why Gu Panshi took the initiative to cause trouble for Achen was not because he was bored.
The main reason was that his ten-year-old cousin also participated in the assessment, but unfortunately failed the second test.
He later learned that the talisman-making department had accepted a child who was less than eight years old, and his second test was scheduled for last.
The normal assessment process shouldn't be like this, so he suspected that his advisor, Professor Chang, had helped him get in through connections.
So he came early in the morning and waited at the entrance of the talisman-making department, wanting to see what this kid who got in through connections looked like.
He turned out to be thin and pale, not at all like someone who could pass the first test.
Well, the so-called thin and fair-skinned appearance is actually in comparison to his and his cousin's tall and strong physique.
In short, after meeting him in person, Gu Panshi became even more certain that he had gotten in through connections, which led to the scene described earlier.
Seeing this arrogant young man who got in through connections, he took out a communication talisman and brought it to his lips, saying:
"Wan Lexian, if you're a true buddy, help me teach that new kid Zuo Chen a lesson!"
Soon, the communication talisman returned: "Brother Gu, how come you have a grudge against one of our talisman-making newbies? What did he do to you?"
Gu Panshi said, "He called me mentally ill, and then I wasn't paying attention and he slipped into your department. If I could have gotten in myself, I wouldn't have needed your help at all."
"Wow! I didn't expect the newcomer to be so amazing? Great, I'll go check it out right now!" Wan Lexian said excitedly.
**
After entering the gate of the Talisman Making Department, Achen saw three separate courtyards, each with a plaque above the entrance displaying the name of the class.
He was about to enter the courtyard of the beginner class when he saw the gate of the intermediate class courtyard next door be pushed open, and a chubby boy walked out.
He had a naturally honest face, and his smile was even more amiable: "Hey! You look unfamiliar, are you the new junior in the beginner class?"
“That’s right, are you in the intermediate class, senior brother?” Achen asked.
"Yes, it's fate that we met. Let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Dongming. What's your name, junior brother?" the honest-looking young man said.
"So it's Senior Brother Liu, nice to meet you! My name is Zuo Chen, I hope you'll take good care of me in the future!" A-Chen said politely.
"So you're Zuo Chen, huh!" The honest-looking young man's demeanor suddenly changed, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
The next second, as soon as he raised his hand, Ah Chen realized that his honest senior brother was gone, and he was surrounded by a fog so thick that he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.
Lost in the fog, he could only stay put for the time being.
"Junior brother, you should enjoy yourself in my Misty Paradise!" The gloating voice of the good-natured senior brother came from afar, yet it seemed to be right next to his ear.
Ah Chen only realized at this moment that he had been ambushed.
Thinking back to the lunatic he had encountered outside the talisman-making department, he figured the students at the Ten Directions Academy were probably all mentally unstable.
This is only the first day of school. He didn't do anything to anyone. Why are these people making things difficult for him?
However, the second one was much smarter than the first. He smiled so kindly from the start and used a self-introduction to lower his guard, while also getting his name out of him.
These two are clearly in cahoots. They failed to scam him the first time, so they contacted the second one to continue scamming him.
Normally, he wouldn't mind finding a way out slowly, but there were only ten minutes left before class started.
If he can't get out of this damn misty amusement park within ten minutes, he'll definitely be late.
Being late on the first day of class will undoubtedly leave a bad impression on the professor, who might even punish him.
