Yu Ling was able to sneak in this time entirely thanks to the influence of the Holy Light Mage, Furnas.
"You'll have to go to the freshman test yourself; that's all I can do for you."
Fornas has actually done enough. Stepping through this gate is already a threshold that many people can only dream of, such as the original owner.
Back then, the academy offered courses in dark magic. Now, dark mages are universally hated, all thanks to the newspapers reporting on the discrimination the original owner of this body faced.
"Don't worry, Brother Furnas."
Yu Ling didn't have a single gold coin on her, and Funas, not being a meticulous person, naturally wouldn't have thought of that. He was going to an unfamiliar school alone, and logically he should have been very nervous, but how could an old monster have such a cowardly reaction?
The two met, but the process wasn't pleasant. However, they formed a strange bond. Furnas simply considered it a good deed and didn't interfere with Yu Ling's future. He then hurriedly returned to the church.
"Next--"
Even though the academy had high entry requirements, the sheer number of applicants was overwhelming. Long queues formed at the freshman testing area, and Yu Ling didn't delay any longer, joining the queue.
Waiting in line is always tedious and boring. After Yu Ling had exhausted himself on Funas, he only had a week left to live, which he could barely manage. So, he chose to remotely call the system to create a new character card for himself.
"System, use a blank character card. Oh, by the way, I've already infiltrated the Mancobola Magic Academy. If you can't get there in a while, just go find my new identity."
[Understood, host. My claws are practically worn out. You have no idea, that main character group came back again, and I almost had to return to the system space.]
The system, while crying out, clicked to use a blank character card, allowing the host to customize the character's appearance and personality.
Over here, while queuing, Yu Ling focused her consciousness on the semi-transparent system panel.
As for identity... it's best not to get too involved. Just be a lone wolf, mainly active around the royal city, but you need to be rich and have a lot of gold coins, since magic academies are definitely expensive.
Magical talents... I'm most familiar with ice and wood-type abilities. Since my soul can disguise itself as ice-type, I'll activate the healing wood-type for my new identity.
Gender... Male, this one has to be male!
Age... around the same as Forners, twenty-four years old.
As for appearance, of course, it has to be as good-looking as possible: long light green hair, emerald green eyes, a tall and slender figure, and an androgynous face. The key is beauty! It has to be beautiful!
Yu Ling didn't care about the others and chose to let the system generate them randomly. Soon, everything about the new character was patched up, and Yu Ling's perspective was split in two.
This time he truly has two bodies, so he should be able to... hehehehehehe...
However, before Yu Ling could be happy for long, she realized that something seemed off about her new identity.
He doesn't seem to be alone, and he's doing strange things.
"Closon, what's wrong?" A beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure was pressed against the new character card. According to the false memory, this seemed to be his... customer?
Wow, so that's how they got their "wealthy" status on the new character card?!
"Um...it's nothing. I just remembered something very important, so I'm afraid I have to go first..."
Yu Ling didn't understand why the main god would trick him in this way, but his lifespan was precious and he couldn't waste it here. The fabricated memories had nothing to do with him! He was still an innocent and adorable little guy!
The beauty gazed adoringly at 'Closon's' elfin face and said, "If you give up halfway, I won't pay you!"
Yu Ling: That's not the point!
Then, he ran very fast. Guided by the false memories, he returned to his new home, a grand castle that would be considered extremely luxurious even in the royal city.
Is she pretty? It's all thanks to 'not wanting to work hard'!
Yu Ling was quite shocked, but the hard-earned money from her new identity was indeed considerable. After remotely sending it to her main body at the academy using the storage space provided by the main god, Yu Ling decided to put aside her new identity for a while and think things through.
Hey, are you okay?
An optimistic and lively voice rang out from in front of Yu Ling.
"Huh?" Yu Ling hadn't recovered from the shock yet, her face was very pale, and combined with her current disguised ice-type talent, she looked cold and menacing. "I'm fine, what do you want?"
The man was clearly surprised by Yu Ling's cold demeanor, but true to his nature, he nonchalantly patted Yu Ling's face, which screamed "Don't touch me!" and said:
"It's true that it's tough to leave home and go to school in this strict, run-down place, but it shouldn't be this bad, right? We can learn magic now! It's magic, super powerful! Aren't you excited?"
Yu Ling: Which eye of yours saw that I was sad?
Okay, he does have a bit of that, but not because of that, and he's not expecting any magic.
"Don't touch me, I'm not upset." Yu Ling wasn't in the mood to pretend to be gentle. She took advantage of her ice-type appearance to establish a "keep away" persona, so as not to be bothered by this overly familiar person.
"Don't be like that. You're about my age, how come you're just as rigid and boring as my brother and the others?"
The man, clearly oblivious to Yu Ling's discomfort, embraced the large, icy-cold man like a close friend, his cheerful voice utterly innocent.
"Can we be friends? You're all alone and don't have anyone to talk to. You must be from the outer city. Don't worry, I'm here, you won't be lonely!"
Thank you! But I'll have to politely decline.
Yu Ling coldly tried to slap away the annoying hand, but then she discovered that the indicator panel showing her lifespan had started to move slowly.
Could it be that his modified 'Embrace of Life' is still a passive skill?
Life is of the essence. According to the "it smells so good" principle, Yu Ling silently lowered her hand that she had just raised. Let's have more of this kind of overly friendly attitude!
Seeing that Yu Ling didn't reject him, the man was even happier. He lowered his face and got close to Yu Ling's face, asking, "Hey, my name is Anrize Knok, what's yours?"
Yu Ling then noticed that this person had fiery red hair and bright crimson pupils, and should be a fire magic user.
What is this? A combination of ice and fire?
“My name is… Roy Ellison.” Yu Ling awkwardly turned her head away, trying to avoid the presence of a stranger, and said with a blush, “Also, there’s a lot of space in the line ahead of you, hurry up and move forward!”
