Chapter 111 Sitting on the Boar's Back
Walking around the Bird Wind Tower, entering the tower without doors, you can directly look up at the translucent dome on the top of the tower from the bottom. The interior is empty and quiet, as if you can hear the sound of feathers falling.
Going up the steps, a wide spiral connects each floor. The staircase corridor is inlaid with colorful spliced glass. These colorful fragments are spliced into bird patterns, which are then illuminated by the lights inside, embellishing the interior of the tower. Each floor has an open public area, where light and wind shuttle through. Heshia can see students sitting at the table chatting and reading, and some gather together to enjoy a simple lunch and talk.
Each floor of the tower is roughly divided into six equal areas, each area is about 120 square meters, four of which are student dormitories, and the remaining two are for public use. One of them has a kitchen, loose tables and chairs, a stove, and objects placed by students, and the other one is different.
Some are quiet library reading rooms, some are bird nests, some are used for indoor battles and experimental skills, some are placed with potted plants and herbs, and seem to be maintained regularly, and some are small stages for students to use.
Although it was daytime and there were not many students in these venues, Heshia could see that there were many signs of use in these venues, and it must be very lively at a certain time.
The two walked up the stairs, and the big boar also climbed the stairs, but it seemed to be the first time to come here, with a curious look and sniffing from time to time.
Finally, the two stopped on the twelfth floor.
"This room is arranged for Heshia." Vitlina shook the key in her hand, then inserted it into the lock, and opened it after identification.
"Of course, you can enter your own information in the future without a key, but occasionally you will need a key when you don't open the door yourself." Vitlina explained.
Walking into the room, there is a simple wooden floor inside. The dark red texture and rock-like walls give people the illusion of an ancient castle. There are scattered wooden chairs and a large table in the living room of the room.
The table is very large and can hold many things. The bookshelf beside it has already been filled with hundreds of books. It seems that some of them were provided by the school in the early years, and some were left by the previous generation of students. On one side of the living room is a small kitchen, on the other side is a bathroom, and then inside are bedrooms and rooms for storing sundries. The entire dormitory is about 160 square meters, and only one student lives there.
"If you raise animals in the future, the two vacant rooms inside can be used as nests for them. Each dormitory is equipped with two self-discipline units, one of which is responsible for cleaning, and the other is responsible for cooking and mixing simple drinks."
"It's very big." Heshia sighed softly after looking at all the rooms.
"Actually, it's okay. Anyway, the school has enough land. It will be comfortable for everyone to live in if it is built bigger, and there is no need to save the money for materials." Vitrina explained simply.
The number of students in Iridium Academy fluctuates between 1,200 and 1,500, and is divided into several dormitory areas. The Ringbird Wind Tower can accommodate up to 300 students, and each high tower can accommodate about 100 students, with four students on each floor, so the space is very ample.
"Let's unload the things first." Vitlina and Heshia walked out of the room and came to the spacious corridor outside. They unloaded the suitcases from the wild boar and put them in the dormitory room. Fortunately, many things in the dormitory were complete and did not need to be purchased specially.
"The bed is newly made, and so are the sheets and other bedding. However, the table and bookshelf in the living room are inherited from the old ones. When Heshia graduates in the future, she can also leave her favorite books or notes for the students who come after her."
"I see." The girl nodded, a little curious.
"Does each generation of students leave something as a legacy?"
"That's roughly the case. In fact, this is also very interesting, isn't it? When I entered school, I found the notes of the previous generation of seniors on the bookshelf. There were all kinds of complaints about school activities, as well as their own experiences back then. Some were pitfalls they had stepped on, and some were activities they liked very much. Because they remembered them, they were recorded in their notes."
"After reading their respective experiences, I quickly became familiar and friendly with the school, so I also like this kind of inheritance." Vitlina said with a smile.
Is this the confidence of a school with a long history? It is not afraid at all of students recording bad things in their notes, Heshia thought, but she also became interested in these book notes.
"Okay, after we put our things down, let's go to the restaurant by the Xiangye Lake. I guess by then, Teacher Hunel will be waiting for us because it's closer to the forest tree house."
"We don't need to let the big wild boar carry the luggage now. We can sit on its back and it can get some delicious food there." After saying that, she patted the big wild boar's head, and received a cheerful hum in response, then squatted down to let the two girls climb up.
Stepping on the handle that was originally used as a hanging handle, the two sat down, and then the big wild boar went downstairs by itself. Fortunately, the slope of the stairs in the tower was gentle, so the two would not fall down.
After leaving the tower, the two felt much more comfortable sitting on it, and then Vitrina continued to talk about school.
"It's the end of August now. In October, the school will have the 'Autumn Festival' which is the busiest time of the year. This is different from the winter festival evening parties in most schools."
"In addition to the usual battle competitions, there are also relaxing singing and dancing performances, bonfire camping, etc. In Ibis Academy, fighting does not account for a large proportion, and the students trained by the academy are mostly based on life careers."
Just like that, the two chatted while heading towards the lake at the foot of the mountain. The clear lake was surrounded by red-leaf forests all over the mountain. The lake water also reflected the fiery red of the leaves and fluttered the leaves.
The entire lake is about the size of six football fields and is roughly crescent-shaped. On one side of the lake is a boat-like building. It is built in the water, with five floors above the water and five floors below the water. They are symmetrical with the lake surface, like each other's shadows.
When they arrived at the Xiangye Lake, Vettlina and Heshia jumped off the big boar, then came to the boat-like building and swiped the student chip card.
"Let's buy it a grilled fish first. There's a machine that cooks it automatically here. It's very cheap." After saying that, Vettelina made her selection. Soon, a passage near the ground opened and spit out a steaming grilled fish, which fell into the food bowl in front of the big boar. It
's about 20 federal coins, which is really cheap. If it were in the outside world, such a portion would cost at least 40 federal coins, Heshia thought.
"Then we'll go in. When you get tired of playing, go back to your own residence." Vettelina touched the big boar, and then entered the boathouse building by the lake with Heshia.
"The part above the lake is the student dormitory, and the part below the lake is the public area, such as the underwater restaurant with a nice view. The fish and shrimp dishes here are also rich and cheap."
Walking into the boathouse, it was much more lively inside. Students in different uniforms and grades could be seen. Many people were talking and laughing as they passed by, and most of them were also going to the restaurant.
Going down the stairs, a large underwater restaurant appeared in front of them. Above their heads, they could see the sunlight swaying in the waves, fish swimming in it, and the lights shining all around, and they could see the green water plants swaying. The space here was spacious and could accommodate about 500 people for dinner.
As soon as the two of them walked into the restaurant, they saw Hunel waving at them from a distance and Ocas drinking a drink beside him.
"Come on, I ordered you a delicious T4-level 'Red Sea Bass Risotto'~" Hunel's refreshing laughter could be heard from far away.
In this way, Heshia's life in Iridium Academy gradually began.
