I flew on a sword at the magic academy

Chapter 7 I Want Them All

"I believe you can do it." Shi Daohan nodded. She had only noticed that this girl had excellent five-elemental spiritual roots and was a natural talent for cultivating immortality, so she couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for her talent.

However, since the other party was unwilling, she couldn't force them.

Moreover, she is currently at the Horagaka Magic Academy. If she dares to recruit people to cultivate immortality here, isn't that provoking the entire Western magical world?

Afterwards, Dean Ron called out Locke's name, as well as the names of the brothers Allen and George. When they returned after registering their names, they were already wearing the magic academy's uniform black robes.

When it came to Shi Daohan, the Horagaka Magic Academy prepared a unique uniform for her.

The uniform is predominantly dark purple, accented with blue and black. It retains the overall look of an oriental Taoist robe, but the lower half has been changed to a knee-length skirt, exposing Shi Daohan's long, straight, and fair legs.

Furthermore, the addition of Western elements such as ties and capes further accentuated Shi Daohan's dashing and heroic demeanor.

Shi Daohan was quite satisfied with the design of the uniform; if she were to give it a score, it would definitely be a perfect 10.

"Huh, aren't you going to change into your magic robes?" Both Allen and George looked puzzled.

"This is a uniform specially designed for me by Horagaka Magic Academy. It's a combination of East and West, probably to highlight my special status as an exchange student." Shi Daohan raised an eyebrow and winked at the two of them.

"Wow! This is so cool!" George couldn't help but exclaim.

Allen and Locke were also amazed by the design of the uniform and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, what's next?"

Shi Daohan looked around but couldn't find Academician Daniel. He didn't know what to do next.

"Let's gather in the square outside and wait to be assigned to our colleges and dormitories." Allen had prepared in advance and knew the entire enrollment process.

As they left the academic affairs office, they saw a large crowd gathered in a square.

They were all wearing loose, baggy black robes, and from a distance, it was impossible to tell who was who.

In fact, Shi Daohan didn't know many people here.

"Welcome to Horajaka Magic Academy."

A young woman wearing a pointed wizard's hat appeared before the crowd. Judging from her voice, she was probably around thirty or forty years old. The wide brim of the hat covered most of her face, but her fitted black robe perfectly outlined her voluptuous figure.

She exudes the charm of a mature woman.

"So are we just going to stand here and sunbathe? Why isn't she saying anything?" Shi Daohan whispered to Allen beside her.

"Don't talk about the teacher!" Allen gestured for her to be quiet, looking very nervous.

Shi Daohan pouted innocently. Couldn't he even say a few words?

"I heard that Locke has also come to Horagaka Academy."

"Which Locke? The Locke from the Andorra family?"

Some of the freshmen couldn't stand the quiet atmosphere and started whispering among themselves.

Shi Daohan narrowed his eyes and glanced at Locke standing beside him. This little guy seemed to be quite famous in the Western magical world; many people knew him.

However, she also noticed something interesting: when people mentioned the name Locke, their expressions showed a mixture of fear and admiration.

This is a very contradictory statement.

Because fear is fear, and worship is worship—these are two opposing emotions that should not coexist in one person.

This contradictory emotional expression also appeared when the brothers Allen and George first met Locke.

[Looks like this little guy has a story to tell.] Shi Daohan muttered to himself, gradually becoming interested in Locke's secrets.

Perhaps it was because her uniform was too special and eye-catching, but even though people were talking about Locke, their eyes were all focused on her.

"Is she Locke?"

"They're definitely different from us; even their uniforms are different."

"She's really beautiful."

……

Listening to the whispers around him, Shi Daohan was speechless. Did these people only know the name Locke and not know who he was?

"Um, my name is Shi Daohan. I'm an exchange student who transferred from the Shushan Immortal Alliance of Eastern China for further studies."

As she spoke, Shi Daohan reached out and pulled the real Locke in front of her, saying, "This is the Locke you've been talking about. Don't mistake him for someone else."

"Hello, my name is Kalman, and I come from the Pearson family."

This was a very handsome young man, who looked to be around twenty years old. He had silver-white hair that was simply tied in a ponytail. When he talked to Locke about his family, his expression showed undisguised pride and self-satisfaction.

"Is the Pearson family very powerful?" Shi Daohan asked Allen quietly beside her.

Allen nodded: "Impressive. In the normal world, the Pearson family controls one-tenth of the wealth of the British Empire."

Controlling one-tenth of the empire's wealth is tantamount to controlling the empire's lifeline; one can imagine how profound the Pearson family's foundation is.

"Your Andorra family is probably down to just you now, right? I can help you get back on your feet."

Kalman looked down at Locke with an arrogant and condescending air.

Shi Daohan stood aside, watching with great interest. It was obvious what the outcome would be if he tried to win people over in this way.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need your help. Thank you," Locke politely declined.

Kalman seemed not to have expected Locke to refuse him, and stood there awkwardly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Since you're so charitable, why don't you help me out while you're at it?" Shi Daohan appeared beside Kalman at some point, placing a hand on his shoulder.

Kalman froze, turning his head incredulously to look at Shi Daohan.

When did this person appear next to me?

"Get away! Who do you think you are, to talk to me like that!" Kalman instinctively pushed Shi Daohan away, making no attempt to hide the disgust and contempt on his face.

"Haha, this handsome young man has quite a temper."

Shi Daohan was in a good mood. It had been many years since she had encountered such a hot-tempered and domineering young master. For a moment, she felt as if she had returned to the days when she was in high school.

There was a young master from a powerful family in their class who liked to flaunt his power and was often teased by Shi Daohan.

Unfortunately, after graduating from high school, her family sent her to the Shushan Immortal Alliance, where she spent her days and nights in seclusion cultivating until recently when she finally emerged from seclusion.

Before I could even get to know the younger students on the mountain, I was sent to the Horagaka Magic Academy for further studies.

Shi Daohan wanted to tease this easily angered little white-haired boy a little longer, but at that moment, the beautiful young woman standing in front of the crowd spoke up.

"Now, let us welcome Headmaster Donaldson of the Horagaka Academy of Magic with the warmest applause!"

The surrounding environment changed dramatically in an instant, and they found themselves in a magnificent, golden church.

Rows of long tables and benches were filled with people. On a high platform at the front, behind a row of benches sat dozens of elderly men with white hair and beards. They were probably high-ranking figures similar to elders in the Horagaka Magic Academy.

"The one sitting in the very middle must be the headmaster of Horagaka Academy, right? Just like my cheap master, he looks incredibly cunning," Shi Daohan thought to himself.

"Welcome to Horagaka Magic Academy. Receiving your admission notices from our academy means that each of you is a genius, one in a hundred. With our careful guidance and your diligent efforts, we believe that in the near future, you will all become renowned and outstanding magicians..."

Academician Donaldson sat above, delivering a rousing speech in a loud and resonant voice that echoed throughout the church.

[It seems that when it comes to making empty promises, there's not much difference between the East and the West; it's all the same old rhetoric, lacking any originality.]

Shi Daohan's eyelids drooped, and he propped his cheek up with one hand, looking like he was about to fall asleep.

After the tedious and boring lecture, Dean Donaldson placed a crystal ball on the table and let the freshmen touch it one by one to decide which house they would study in.

Like the Shushan Immortal Alliance, the Horagaka Magic Academy is also divided into four colleges with different majors.

The crystal ball will reveal a student's talents and innate attributes, and then assign them to a suitable academy.

This is somewhat similar to the process that Shushan Temple requires to test the spiritual roots of its disciples before recruiting them.

However, unlike other schools, all academies in Shushan cover spells and techniques with the five elements, and testing one's spiritual root only provides disciples with a general direction for cultivation.

Because different elemental roots have different effects on different elemental spells, such as boosting or weakening them.

For example, if someone has a fire-type spiritual root, then cultivating fire-attribute techniques and spells will provide a significant boost.

Conversely, if one cultivates techniques and spells of other attributes, the power exerted will be greatly reduced, because the five elements are mutually generating and mutually restraining.

The purpose of testing one's spiritual root is precisely to prevent the latter situation from occurring.

Looking at the Horagaka Magic Academy, they have set up four departments targeting different types of magic.

They are: the Nadova Academy, specializing in fire magic;

Water magic major – Bixi Ci Academy;

The Kuisang Academy specializes in wood-based magic.

The Ancient Hao Academy specializes in metal-based magic.

The magic crystal will display each person's innate attributes, thus ensuring that each person is assigned to the most suitable academy.

George and Locke were both assigned to the Kuisang Academy, which specializes in wood magic.

Allen, on the other hand, was assigned to the Nadova Academy, which specializes in fire magic.

"Alright, now let's see which department the exchange student from the ancient East will be assigned to." Dean Donaldson spoke, and everyone's eyes turned to Shi Daohan.
