I flew on a sword at the magic academy

Chapter 74 The Demons Arrive

After ending the call, Shi Daohan left the palace and went to a cliff, where he quietly gazed at the distant sky.

"First the Demon Emperor appeared in the world before his death, and now the Demon Lord is about to be reincarnated. The root of all chaos has appeared in the West. It seems that another chaotic era is about to begin." She murmured to herself, gazing at the starry sky.

She felt a sense of pressure. Whether it was the Demon Emperor in the Pot or the reincarnated Demon Lord, both were beings capable of turning the world upside down. When chaos truly descended, no one could escape the reckoning.

"At this juncture, all I can do is improve my strength as quickly as possible. I just hope that day won't come so soon," Shi Daohan muttered to himself.

Late that night, strange noises occurred at Horagaka Academy, as if an earthquake had struck.

The newly arrived exchange student, Shen Tianyu, the chief disciple of Donghua Mountain, somehow brought a mountain peak to serve as his cave dwelling and training ground within the Horagaka Academy, which was comparable to Shi Daohan's Saint Dajia Peak.

"Wasn't this exchange student supposed to be just an average student? How come he brought a mountain on his first day of school, just like Shi Daohan?!"

"Do cultivators from Eastern China all like to live in the mountains?"

"What you should be concerned about is where this mountain came from, and how you're going to explain it to the Magic Guild when they come knocking!"

The high-ranking members of Horagaka Academy watched all this with expressions of utter disbelief, especially Dean Donaldson, whose lips twitched involuntarily.

When Shi Daohan transported the Holy Grand Peak directly to Horagaka Academy last time, it caused quite a stir, and even Baron Augustine, the vice president of the Magic Guild, came to visit him personally.

In the end, Donaldson resorted to emotional appeals and used his collection of over a dozen bottles of wine to resolve the matter.

Now, the same thing has happened again, and he feels like crying but has no tears left.

Lake Jingyue is located to the west of Horagaca College. Mount Santa Gara stands in the center of the lake, soaring straight into the sky and resembling a divine sword stuck upside down in the ground when viewed from afar.

The spiritual peak that Shen Tianyu brought was placed on the east side of the academy, facing off against Shi Daohan's Holy Dajia Peak, creating a sense of rivalry.

"It seems that the next three years will definitely not be boring."

Shi Daohan sat on the cliff, one hand supporting her cheek, a faint smile in her bright eyes.

"Find out where this mountain came from. If the Magic Guild comes knocking, tell them I bought it."

Dean Donaldson looked utterly dejected and said, "I think if we have any more exchange students from China in the future, we must add another rule: they cannot move mountains from outside the academy."

Just then, a professor rushed over and said, "Professor Donaldson, a young girl has arrived outside, saying she wants to join our Horagaka Academy."

"Hasn't the enrollment period already passed? Why is someone still looking for you?" Dean Donaldson asked with a puzzled look, "Where did that girl come from? How old is she?"

"An Asian face, looks... about seventeen years old."

"An Eastern face, another cultivator from China? No way!"

Upon hearing that the visitor was from the East, the high-ranking officials were frightened and waved their hands repeatedly.

The college already has two exchange students from the East, which is already a headache enough. If another one comes, they will really be driven crazy.

Dean Donaldson pondered for a moment and decided to go and see for himself before making a decision.

…………

Outside the academy, Dean Donaldson and other high-ranking figures looked at the girl in front of them with suspicion and uncertainty.

This was a blue-haired woman with bright eyes and white teeth, a slender figure, and graceful posture. Her skin was as white as jade. She swayed her body gracefully as she approached, exuding charm in every gesture.

Her long, light blue hair cascaded down to her waist like silk, adorned with a crescent-shaped jade hairpin. Delicate beads dangled from the hairpin's head, from which hung several small silver bells, creating a light, tinkling sound as she walked.

"Where are you from, and why do you want to join our Horagaka Academy?" Headmaster Donaldson asked.

Their Horagaka Academy is isolated from the outside world; ordinary people would never be able to find their way here.

"My name is Jing Xinyu. I come from the East, China. I am not affiliated with any sect or school. I heard that the headmaster of Horagaka Magic Academy is a highly respected great magician, so I wanted to come here to learn some amazing Western magic."

Jing Xinyu smiled gently, her beauty captivating, her long, flowing, light blue hair resembling a vast, undulating blue ocean.

"What do you think?" Dean Donaldson was undecided and turned to look at the academicians standing behind him.

"She doesn't belong to any sect in Eastern China, so she shouldn't cause as much trouble as those two exchange students. I think we can take her in."

"I think it's better to find out more about her background first. We can't just admit people to the academy with unclear backgrounds."

Several academicians were discussing it in hushed tones.

At this moment, Jing Xinyu handed a letter to Dean Donaldson and said, "This is a letter of recommendation written to me by Baron Makino."

"Baron Makino's letter of recommendation?"

All the senior executives were shocked.

Baron Makino comes from the Laurent family, and Horagaka Academy is one of the Laurent family's properties.

The visitor had a letter of recommendation from Baron Makino, so they had no choice but to accept it, even if they didn't want to.

"He claims to be unaffiliated with any sect or faction, yet he managed to obtain a personal recommendation letter from Baron Makino of the Laurent family. This person's background is definitely not simple."

"She's probably the daughter of some extraordinary family in China."

"We can't afford to be negligent."

Several high-ranking academicians gathered together and whispered among themselves.

After confirming that the letter was indeed written by Baron Makino, Dean Donaldson said nothing more and led Jing Xinyu into Horagaka Academy.

Are there any vacant dormitory rooms available on campus?

Dean Donaldson asked one of the academicians beside him, but Jing Xinyu spoke up first, saying, "No need to trouble yourself, I've brought my own dojo with me."

After saying that, she leaped into the air and landed on a cloud, where she could see the entire Horagaka Academy.

She took a liking to an open space directly north of the academy, and then turned the storage ring on her hand.

"Buzz"

A burst of light appeared, and a valley emerged in the sky. Guided by Jing Xinyu's slender hands, it slowly landed on an open space directly north of the academy.

"Mission accomplished!" Jing Xinyu landed on the ground and clapped her hands in satisfaction.

"..."

Dean Donaldson and the other senior executives were stunned by her series of actions, and they were all petrified.

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys?" Jing Xinyu waved her hand in front of them.

On the other side, Shi Daohan and Shen Tianyu were also startled by the commotion Jing Xinyu made while setting up the temple.

"Demonic energy?!"

The two exchanged a glance in the air, and with perfect understanding, they simultaneously soared into the sky, transforming into two long rainbows as they chased after the source of the demonic energy.

"Head of the Department of Medicine, Donaldson? What's going on here?"

Shi Daohan followed the aura of the demons and came here, but unexpectedly saw Dean Donaldson and the others.

"Greetings, Headmaster."

Shen Tianyu cupped his hands in greeting, then turned his gaze to the girl with a head of light blue hair in the center of the crowd.

Dean Donaldson was also somewhat surprised by the sudden arrival of the two, wondering if Eastern cultivators never needed to sleep.

"Hehe, just wandering around since I can't sleep."

Shi Daohan chuckled, then noticed the girl in the crowd and asked, "And who is this?"

"Oh, these are the new students, from the East, China, and they are your fellow countrymen," Dean Donaldson introduced.

"Oh, so you're from the same hometown. We should have a good chat then."

Shi Daohan and Shen Tianyu both opened their arms and went to greet her at the same time.

Jing Xinyu frowned slightly. The information she received was that there was only one cultivator from Shu Mountain in Horagaka Academy. How come there is one more now?

To avoid arousing suspicion from Dean Donaldson and the others, she also put on a bright smile and warmly greeted them with open arms.

The three of them hugged each other tightly, as if they had endless things to say.

Dean Donaldson, oblivious to the subtle rivalry between the three, smiled kindly and said to the others, "Let's go, let's not disturb these three fellow countrymen catching up."

After everyone left, the three who had been embracing each other happily suddenly turned cold and slapped each other across the face.

"The demons have remained hidden from the world for many years; what do they intend to do now that they have emerged?"

"What brings you to Horagaka Academy?"

Jing Xinyu exchanged a palm strike with each of them, took a step back, and said with a charming smile, "This is a magic academy, so naturally I've come here to learn magic."

"Bullshit!" Shen Tianyu sneered.

Jing Xinyu chuckled and said, "Would you like to smell my farts?"

"You know what, he might actually like that. Why don't you put one out for him to smell right now?" Shi Daohan chimed in, adding fuel to the fire, as if she didn't want to miss out on the fun.

"Shi Daohan!" Shen Tianyu glared at him angrily.

Shi Daohan took a step back: "Don't glare at me, I'm not giving you a fart to smell."

"We all have our own reasons and purposes for being here. I am just following orders. As long as we don't interfere with each other's plans, I hope we can get along peacefully. What do you two think?" Jing Xinyu smiled sweetly, her slender legs faintly visible beneath her light gauze skirt as she walked gracefully forward.

"I think it's feasible," Shen Tianyu nodded.

Shi Daohan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Yueyoujie, Jing Xinyu."

Jing Xinyu announced her name and affiliation.

"Donghua Mountain, Shen Tianyu."

"Shushan, a place where poetry flourishes."

Shen Tianyu and Shi Daohan introduced themselves and shook hands with Jing Xinyu.

After returning to Mount Sintagas, Shi Daohan bathed in the sacred pool and pondered many things.

It's not hard to guess why the witch Jing Xinyu infiltrated Horagaka Academy; it's most likely because of the Demon Lord's reincarnation vessel.

However, she still couldn't guess why Shen Tianyu from Donghua Mountain had come.

Unable to distinguish between friend and foe, and having to guard against being stabbed in the back no matter what you do, is the most troublesome and exhausting thing.

"Oh well, whatever, I guess I'll just have to make the best of it."

Shi Daohan shook his head, trying to stop thinking about it.

The next day, the college had another freshman from the East, and the news spread quickly.

"Another exchange student from the ancient East?"

"No, this time they're not exchange students. I heard they came here on their own with a letter of recommendation from Baron Makino."

"What?! What's this new guy's background? He even managed to get a letter of recommendation from Baron Makino!"

"I've heard that the new girl is very pretty, no less so than Shi Daohan."

All the students were filled with curiosity about the new students and gathered in the cafeteria to discuss them.

"Have you noticed? The academy has a new, very tall mountain and valley!" A student ran in excitedly.

"I noticed it as soon as I woke up this morning. I heard that the mountain was brought over from outside by Shen Tianyu, an exchange student from the East," a student said.

These words immediately caused quite a stir in the cafeteria.

"Like that Shi Daohan, it was transported from outside? My God! How did they manage to do that? That mountain is so big, even the biggest crane couldn't lift it, right?"

"Could it be magic?"

"No, it must be their Eastern immortal arts and Taoist techniques! Didn't Shi Daohan mention it in class last time? Some powerful cultivators can move mountains and fill seas."

Almost half a month has passed since Shi Daohan started the cultivation course, and the students have already gained a general understanding of cultivators.

Things like moving mountains and filling seas, and summoning wind and rain are all things that cultivators can easily do.

"And what about that valley? How did it come about? Could it have been transported here using magic or Taoist techniques as well?" someone asked in alarm.

"According to Academician Daniel, it seems that the new Asian woman took it out of the ring."

"ring?!"

Everyone was stunned. How could a ring possibly contain a valley?

"I don't know either, that's what Academician Daniel told me anyway." The student who knew part of the inside story shook his head, also finding it somewhat unbelievable.

"I think that ring must be some kind of holy artifact, like a magic pocket," someone speculated.

This statement quickly gained widespread approval.

If it were just an ordinary ring, how could it possibly contain an entire valley? It must be a sacred artifact.

On the other side, Headmaster Donaldson sat at his desk in the main hall of the mansion, looking at Shen Tianyu and Jing Xinyu standing before him with considerable distress, and said, "Neither of you want to attend classes and want to teach yourselves magic?"

"Yes," both the man and the woman nodded and said in unison.

Headmaster Donaldson rubbed his temples. Were the classes at Horagaka Academy really that boring and tedious? Why didn't anyone want to go to class and wanted to study on their own?

"She can learn poetry on her own, and my comprehension is no less than hers, so naturally I can also learn and comprehend it on my own."

Shen Tianyu said calmly, not thinking that her request was excessive.
