Life and consumption
Liu Xiaoyun dragged her suitcase and walked towards the dormitory under the guidance of her teacher.
The faint sound of tires rubbing against the smooth stone slabs attracted every student passing by.
They wore wide black and purple outer robes and pointed hats with wide brims. The style of the men's school uniforms seemed to come from the Kingdom of England in the 18th and 19th centuries, with white suits, black vests, knee-length shorts and black leather shoes.
The women's uniforms are more modern than the men's, and look a bit like the Hogwarts uniform, with a black vest and white shirt on the upper body, and a brown-gray skirt that is longer than the knee-length skirt that is common on Earth.
They stood in groups of three or four, whispering towards Liu Xiaoyun and the suitcases of the students traveling with her. There was friendliness and curiosity, vigilance and worry, as well as contempt and disgust in their eyes.
Not far away is a red brick castle with a pointed roof and white windows, which is particularly beautiful against the backdrop of blue sky and green grass.
If you raise your view a little higher, you can see students entering and exiting the dormitory in different ways, riding on brooms or flying carpets, or simply flying by magic.
——This is the magic academy located in the Parnacian Holy Roman Empire, and ranked first in comprehensive strength: Agulo Royal Academy.
The thirty-two students, including Liu Xiaoyun, were the first group of "international students" selected to come to Parnaky.
Three days ago, her teacher Lin Lang and the director of "Tower of Babel" where she worked, Lin Yuan, both recommended her to study abroad in Panaki.
Lin Lang was busy shuttling between Parnaki and Earth, and did not have much time to teach Liu Xiaoyun carefully. Lin Yuan was also busy at work. After "Babel Tower" was officially opened to the outside world, he needed to sign various documents and negotiate relevant laws, which held Lin Yuan back and forced him to travel around the world.
Taking advantage of the fact that the work at "Tower of Babel" has been relatively easy recently and Liu Xiaoyun's talents should not be wasted on work, Lin Yuan and Lin Lang came up with an idea tacitly.
Thanks to their relationship, Liu Xiaoyun was able to join the Parnaki study abroad group. In addition to her, there was also Jiang Bowen, who also worked at Babel and was later transferred to Penglai University as vice president, and 30 other carefully selected students from Penglai University.
-By the way, the Guan brothers who had previously joined the Parnaki travel group were not on the list.
Guan Xingwu was originally assigned to Class 9 in order to allow Guan Xingwen to appear in front of Rui Hang. Now that his ex-boyfriend has been kicked out, Guan Xingwu, whose grades are not good enough, is naturally replaced by a student with better grades.
Liu Xiaoyun and Jiang Bowen joined the team not in the name of "study abroad" but in the name of "further studies" as official personnel.
However, the "relative" status of the two did not cause much commotion in the team. According to one of the students who participated in the tour group, one of the students in their team was the younger sister of the "Demon Lord" - it was said that this "Demon Lord" and the Empress Ovina of the Holy Roman Empire were both time travelers, but her status in Parnaki seemed to be higher than Ovina's.
There are many hidden talents in this small team of 32 people, and people like them with "connections" seem mediocre.
Staring at the scrutiny, the group finally successfully reached the castle.
As soon as you enter, you will see a gorgeous and spacious cafeteria where fresh food is served 24 hours a day and students can eat for free.
Walking out of the door on the right side of the cafeteria, everyone came to a long corridor with a European style. On the left side of the corridor was a huge window, and the light from the window during the day illuminated the surroundings. On the right wall hung portraits of outstanding graduates from past generations. Like those magical portraits in Hogwarts, the portraits here also had "life".
It is said that this is a magic that retains part of the vitality and thinking of the painting subjects. Even if these graduates have passed away, they can still "survive" in a certain sense through these paintings.
If students living in the dormitories can build good relationships with these outstanding graduates, they will occasionally give them some guidance on their studies. To this day, there are still many stories circulating in the dormitories about "students' grades improving by leaps and bounds after receiving guidance from these special 'seniors'."
After walking through the long graduate corridor, you will come to several doors of different shapes.
Each door here is connected to space magic, and when opened, one can enter the students' living area - the Mage Tower.
These wizard towers were all built to the standards of high-level magicians. They were originally used for magician research and training, but were converted into residences by wealthy people.
These wizard towers stand behind the ancient castle. Each student from each academy lives in one tower. Special magic is arranged at the bottom of the tower to help students improve their training speed.
"When you have mastered the magic of flying, or are able to use flying props, you don't have to go this way." The teacher in charge introduced: "The open attic at the top of the Mage Tower is the most popular way for students to go back to the dormitory. It will also be more convenient to go to the classroom from there."
She led the students to different dormitories according to their colleges, and said, "Today is your first day of school, and the school has not arranged any classes for you. I suggest you use the afternoon to walk around the college. Our Agulo Royal College is very big, so be careful not to get lost during class tomorrow."
At this point, the teacher's eyes could not help but reveal a hint of pride. But she did not forget her duties and continued, "The class schedule has been placed on your desk. The school has also written a list of magic props that need to be purchased. You can go to the prop street next to the school to buy them in the afternoon. Remember - fighting is prohibited in the dormitory, and the use of complex magic is also prohibited. I hope that in the coming year, you can experience a wonderful campus life here."
After saying this, the teacher in charge left and let the students do as they please.
Liu Xiaoyun pulled her suitcase and pushed open the door of her own department with curiosity and trepidation.
The sight suddenly turned, and after the slight dizziness of the space transmission disappeared, a spacious public rest area appeared in front of me. Rather than saying that this is a rest area in a student dormitory, it is more like a study in a castle. There are a large number of magic books everywhere, and each of them would cause a sensation on Earth. In the center is a huge fireplace, surrounded by sofas and lounge chairs. On each table are fruits and desserts that can be enjoyed at will. It looks a bit like the lounge of Ravenclaw, but the overall area is larger, and the colors are mainly white and gold, reflecting the solemnity of the word "royal" everywhere.
On one side of the lounge is a long spiral staircase leading to different floors.
Liu Xiaoyun's dormitory was on the sixth floor. Fortunately, she had been trained in the "Tower of Babel" and had magic to strengthen her body, so it was not difficult for her to climb to the sixth floor in one breath carrying her suitcase.
When Liu Xiaoyun opened the door of the dormitory, the decoration that was completely different from the lounge made her eyes light up.
The overall color of the dormitory is mainly blue and white. It has been tidied in advance and looks clean and refreshing.
There are two students in one dormitory, so the space is very spacious and is equipped with a balcony and a bathroom with separate dry and wet areas.
The floor was covered with brown floors and dark blue carpets, and there were two beds against the wall - typical bunk beds in Hua Xia University dormitories, with the bed on the upper level and an integrated bookcase and desk on the lower level.
“This place looks pretty nice!”
The same surprised voice sounded from behind. Liu Xiaoyun turned around and looked at her roommate who had just entered the room with some anticipation.
She has beautiful long hair, delicate features, and a smile as bright as the sun. She is a beautiful girl who attracts everyone's attention wherever she goes.
She generously extended her hand to Liu Xiaoyun: "Hello, I'm Rui Yang, majoring in practical magic, and I'm 21 years old this year."
"Hello, Liu Xiaoyun, 18, also majoring in magic."
"I know you." Rui Yang's eyes were crescent-shaped, and he smiled kindly: "You and Teacher Jiang were both sent here by the government for further studies, right? You are really amazing. You can have an official position at the age of 18!"
Infected by Rui Yang's smile, Liu Xiaoyun couldn't help but smile: "I'm just lucky. I have two good T teachers to recommend me."
"The teacher you are talking about is not my brother's student, right?" Rui Yang's eyes lit up, but then he realized that his words might be ambiguous: "Ah, I'm not talking to you about seniority... You have heard my name from other people, right? That brother is the 'Lord of the Demon Clan'."
Speaking of the "Lord of the Demons", Rui Yang couldn't help but smile for some reason.
Most people would hide their identities as relatives for fear of being isolated, but Rui Yang was surprisingly calm and didn't seem to care about it at all.
——Liu Xiaoyun didn’t know that this was because those students had already witnessed Rui Yang’s brother’s “exposure” with their own eyes, and she thought it was just due to his personality. The embarrassment of herself as a “relative” suddenly disappeared for the most part.
"I know him." Liu Xiaoyun nodded and said, "When we were doing internship in South Island before, Mr. Rui's students taught us. My teacher was his student - Lin Lang."
"Lin Lang?! I like her so much!"
When talking about acquaintances, Rui Yang's chatterbox instantly opened up. The two were of similar age and had many common topics, from family to teachers. From the earth to Parnaki, from magic to technology... The relationship between the two quickly changed from strangers to familiarity, and then to intimacy.
By the time the two had finished chatting, dusk had already fallen outside the window and the dinner bell echoed throughout the campus.
"Oh, why is it already this late?" Rui Yang slapped his head: "I haven't packed my luggage yet!"
"Let's go to the cafeteria first." Liu Xiaoyun, who was used to the high school cafeteria and the "Tower of Babel" cafeteria, said subconsciously: "If we are late, there may be no seats."
Rui Yang waved his hand: "No, wait for me!"
As she spoke, she trotted over to the suitcase and squatted down. As she opened the suitcase, she said to Liu Xiaoyun, "When we were on a study tour before, our team teacher brought us here to experience it for a day. To be honest, the food in Parnaki is not that delicious."
Although the Aguro Royal College is named "Royal", it is still very difficult for the food to reach the level of that in the Ovina Palace, especially since that meal was specially prepared according to the Chinese taste by Ovina to entertain the tour groups.
Although the three meals of the Aguro Royal Academy are considered to be the best in Parnaqui, at most they are only at the level of England. It is indeed good to have one or two meals, but eating the same thing every time is really terrible - although for the people of Parnaqui, the food here is delicious and can be called heaven.
Rui Yang opened the suitcase - there was actually another space inside the suitcase which looked less than 20 inches.
"This is a suitcase that my brother asked someone (Xiao Shichuan) to customize. It can hold a lot of things." Rui Yang didn't mind telling his roommates about this: "He was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get used to living here, so he prepared a copy of everything for me."
Then he took out an extension cord, an induction cooker, a hair dryer, a heater... and a crazy small solar generator from the suitcase.
Liu Xiaoyun: “…”
Liu Xiaoyun silently opened her suitcase, which contained a variety of items, no less than Rui Yang's.
Her suitcase is also blessed with space magic. It is a school gift from Lin Yuan to her. It also has a built-in freshness-keeping function, which is very useful.
Liu Xiaoyun had heard that the living standard in the other world was the same as that in the Middle Ages, so she prepared a lot of things. However, she didn't bring an engine like Rui Yang did, but she did prepare ten solar chargers.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
As expected, he is a student from China.
Rui Yang fumbled in the suitcase for a long time and took out a pack of spicy beef hotpot base: "I have an appointment with a friend, shall we have hotpot tonight?"
"What a coincidence." Liu Xiaoyun cooperated and took out two boxes of beef: "I brought vegetables."
The two of them high-fived in the air in tacit understanding.
——That night, a mysterious fragrance filled the entire dormitory.
The students in the cafeteria sat on the benches, smelling the mysterious fresh, spicy aroma in the air, and looked at the bread in their hands and fell into a long silence.
Who is eating secretly and eating so happily?
They couldn't even eat!
