Magic High School.

Of course, this refers to Russian girls within their shelf life.

Therefore, Li Ge had no recollection of her. If he had seen this Russian-looking face, he would have been amazed and would have taken a picture of her while she was still "out of her prime" to prevent her from turning into a Slavic auntie after her "expiration date".

“The person in full armor who took the exam with me before is me,” she said. “Let me introduce myself. I come from a world called Iron Fortress. I am Valerie, the daughter of a hereditary viscount and a trainee knight.”

"Silverwing City, Edge Assassin, Little Night." The hooded figure in black robes introduced herself again, but this time she lifted the heavy hood.

To Li Ge's surprise, he had previously thought this guy was a dwarf or a short man, but it turned out that under the hood was a short girl with black hair.

However, she was still wearing a thick mask that covered her entire nose and chin, making it impossible for Li Ge to discern her appearance; all he could see were a pair of dark green eyes.

After introducing herself, she continued to shrink back behind the female knight. Surprisingly, Li Ge didn't notice her at first. Only upon careful observation could he see that she was lurking in the shadow of this Russian girl like a shadow.

Is this some kind of magic?

As a newbie in the magic world, Li Ge once again experienced the wonder of magic, the first time being on the portal that the vice principal, the old magician, had torn through space.

Li Ge politely introduced himself again: "From Viona, the economic capital of the Holy Empire, I am Li Ge, an art student who failed the college entrance exam."

Li Ge could see that after he introduced himself, the female knight opposite him seemed to twitch her lips slightly, but she quickly smiled again.

“Shall we go back to the dorm together? I think we should be going the same way,” Valerie said, without the disdain or strange scheming often found in other stories of aristocrats.

Instead, she seemed like a cheerful and outgoing Russian girl, inviting Li Ge to go along the same route.

When they stepped out of the room, Li Ge was stunned. It was not the ancient castle and quaint magic academy he had imagined.

Instead, it is a semi-transparent energy dome that covers the entire campus. Above the dome, instead of the sun, moon, and stars, there is a slowly rotating, dazzlingly complex three-dimensional magic array interwoven with interstellar projections.

Simulated planets orbited in various directions, with golden rune annotations floating beside them, making the place seem like a combination of a giant planetarium and a magic laboratory.

In the distance, he saw a World Tree that seemed to support the entire world, with countless magnificent and imposing buildings on it, living in harmony with the giant tree.

At the foot of the mountain not far away, a surging waterfall flowed, and in that waterfall, Li Ge even saw a...

dragon?

But when Li Ge looked again, the dragon, which seemed to represent imperial power, had vanished into the waterfall, leaving him feeling utterly lost. After all, it was a dragon! And dragons are…

These scenes, where science fiction and magic were completely blended together, left Li Ge stunned for several seconds, as if her brain had almost burned out.

Not only him, but Valerie, the Russian girl next to him, also seemed stunned, looking incredulous, even more of a country bumpkin than Li Ge.

"Let's go." After Li Ge spoke, the blonde female knight seemed to come to her senses and immediately followed, the crisp and pleasant clanging sound of their armor clashing together.

"I'm sorry, I've never seen such a... magnificent scene before. I'm at a loss for words, this is the only word I can use to describe it." She said, seemingly unconcerned that she was behaving more like a country girl than a noblewoman.

"It's okay, I'm about the same." They followed the navigation on their watches, and it seemed that they were indeed going the same way, all heading towards the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Along the way, there was a colorful sea of ​​flowers. In the sea of ​​flowers, Li Ge even saw a plump bumblebee sleeping among the flowers.

"By the way, Li Ge... how did you gain the trust of those monsters during that entrance exam?" On the way, the female knight finally asked the question she most wanted to know.

Not only her, but Xiaoye, hiding in the shadows, also pricked up her ears; this was what she most wanted to know.

“Monsters?” Li Ge stopped abruptly, his expression slightly furrowed, but he quickly relaxed and continued forward. “They are not monsters, they are heroes who protect that land, they are comrades.”

Chapter 8 Roommate and Treasure

This time, Li Ge didn't slow down, but gradually quickened her pace, heading in the direction indicated by the navigation.

After arriving at a fork in the road, Li Ge simply nodded politely and parted ways with her two future classmates.

Perhaps because the male and female dormitories are different, Li Ge's dormitory is closer to the mountainside, while their dormitory is closer to the foot of the mountain.

After parting ways, the Russian woman, who had been smiling, suddenly looked dejected and sighed.

"You seem to have angered him?" Sayo said, emerging from her shadow, still under her hood.

"Yeah, but I think I understand now. No wonder he's a top student, while we just barely pass." She sighed again and headed towards the dormitory.

“Yes, we never thought about digging deeper into the information about that world. Now I understand that this entrance exam is not difficult at all. In fact, as long as we dig out the information and know that those monsters... those things are not monsters, but heroes who protect that land, we can easily get their help…” Xiaoye seemed to be reviewing the previous exam.

"How did he decipher the writing and pictures from that world?" The female knight scratched her short blonde hair, utterly puzzled.

They did find some intelligence, but the graffiti and text were too abstract for them to decipher, thus missing out on a lot of information.

“Perhaps his magic or other tools have the ability to decipher other texts and information, or even that he possesses a ‘treasure’,” Xiaoye said.

"A Noble Phantasm!" Valerie's tone was slightly surprised.

For her, even though she was the daughter of a viscount, treasures were just legendary things, the kind of treasures that only great heroes, warriors, or even legendary magicians who would go down in history could possess.

It is an artifact-like item formed from the life achievements and accomplishments of legendary heroes, with an extremely low probability of being created.

Among the freshmen who enrolled at the same time as him, some of them directly possessed a Noble Phantasm?

Dude, can you please not be so curly?

“You’ll have a Noble Phantasm in the future, maybe even tomorrow, but it will be the lowest level one, and you’ll need to nurture it gradually,” Xiaoye said, adding, “The mainstream teaching method at the school right now is the ‘Noble Phantasm build,’ and I’m also planning to go down that path. He’s just one step ahead of us.”

"The fat guy we saw earlier, and the terrifying explosion at the end, were probably the power of his Noble Phantasm," Xiaoye continued. She seemed to know more about the school, though the value of that information was much lower after entering this place; at most, it was just knowing more a day in advance.

This intelligence was nothing, not even on the school's intranet forums.

“Oh, right, I just thought of something. Maybe that’s why he’s angry. Those monsters we think of are very likely some kind of ‘heroic spirit.’ Yes, heroic spirit. I’ve seen that word in the family books.” Valerie suddenly slapped her hand, realizing something.

"We actually missed such a great opportunity." She suddenly felt a little annoyed.

"There's nothing we can do. Those heroic spirits might have good intentions, but their appearances are too terrifying. We were fooled too. It's no use wallowing in self-pity now. Let's go to school first." Xiaoye also checked her watch and said slowly, "The qualified students' dormitory is a four-person room. It seems we're roommates now."

……

At the same time, Li Ge went straight to the dormitory for top students, which was indicated on the map.

While climbing the mountain, he suddenly heard a sound like a sonic boom cloud overhead. Looking up, he was surprised to see a senior student riding a skateboard-like device, his hair blown into a bald, slicked-back style in the air, still flying at supersonic speed.

Li Ge: "..."

Is it really that wild in a magic high school? Their mode of transportation is all supersonic flying skateboards?

Just as Li Ge was complaining, several more figures of sonic boom clouds flew past behind him with a "whoosh," shouting: "Unlicensed driving! Speeding! Illegal lane changing! Not wearing protective magic array! You're under arrest! The disciplinary inspection department is making arrests, everyone get out of the way!"

Li Ge: "..."

So, was that senior who sped off earlier caught? And then he got his final act of freedom?

Li Ge gasped in shock, realizing that the school was not as simple as it seemed. This maneuver reminded him of how he used to evade the idiot LAPD when playing GTA.

Does it mean that you only commit a violation if you get caught, and you don't do anything wrong if you don't get caught?

Li Ge said she had learned something, and then continued on her way to the dormitory.

This time there were no more setbacks. Along the way, I could see some senior students. Unlike the magicians I had in my mind, they were all dressed very smartly. It seemed that the school did not require students to wear any particular clothes.

Meanwhile, some people were wearing standard light blue school uniforms, which looked quite handsome. When they saw Li Ge dressed as a freshman, they gave her a very polite smile.

It wasn't at all like the arrogant rich kid Li Ge had imagined, who would meet an arrogant guy at magic school, make enemies, and suddenly become a mortal enemy.

The senior students here are all talented, speak nicely, and are very polite. Li Ge also smiled politely the whole way.

Then he found his dormitory, which was indeed a detached single-story house with a small patch of green grass.

Upon seeing this piece of land, Li Ge felt his DNA stir; he even wanted to immediately plant some cabbage, radishes, or beans here.

He gently leaned his watch against the door, and the door opened instantly, filling him with a sense of exhilaration.

The simple layout of one living room and two bedrooms was enough to make Li Ge happy. After all, it was a student dormitory, and they actually had single rooms and even a living room.

There were signs that someone lived in the room, which showed that the roommate was an extremely clean person. The whole dormitory had a natural feel, with potted plants and flowers that Li Ge didn't recognize everywhere. The roommate was also a plant lover.

A large dining table, a sofa, and plenty of potted plants make up the appearance of the dormitory.

"Will my roommate be an upperclassman, or a freshman in the same year as me?" Li Ge wondered to herself before stepping inside.

Seeing no one, Li Ge continued, "Is anyone here? I'm a new student, and my future roommate."

There has still been no response.

It seemed her roommate wasn't home, Li Ge thought to herself. She looked at the unfamiliar potted plants, the largest of which was placed on the balcony behind the dormitory, where the sunlight shone brightly, giving it a crystal-clear luster.

Li Ge immediately became interested. He stepped forward and touched the potted plant's leaves, which resembled silver moons.

"This tree is pretty," Li Ge remarked.

As soon as he finished speaking, the potted plant suddenly melted, turning into a pool of clear water that flowed down the floor to the center of the room, "growing" upwards and quickly outlining a human figure. As the water receded, a figure with short, light green hair dressed in loose, plain clothes appeared.

“Hello, roommate,” he said. “I’m a morph elf. You can call me Yilian.”

Chapter 9 My Silly Roommate

Just when Li Ge thought the world was crazy enough, there would always be a madman who would jump out and slap him, telling him that it wasn't crazy enough.

"You mean, you belong to a race called 'Morph Elf'?" Li Ge immediately gave a look that resembled that of someone who was "on the subway, an old man, and a cell phone".

He thought that his roommate was at least a person, that he should at least be a human being, but he was surprised to find that his roommate wasn't even a human being!

Across from him, his short-haired, genderless roommate took a sip of his red tea and said, "Brother, you probably don't know enough people of different races. Once you go to school and find elves, orcs, dwarves, undead, fairies, and even Asuras and demons in your class, you'll realize that I, a mutated elf, am already a species not much different from humans."

Li Ge: "..."

Thinking about the scene his roommate described, he also gasped in horror.

My roommate, Yilian, is a variant sprite, also known as a water elemental sprite.

A very peculiar race, whose members can transform into various forms, whether male or female, human or ghost, or even flowers, plants, trees, etc., all with ease.

He even particularly enjoys turning into a basin of water, then curling up inside it, basking comfortably in the sun all day, and then rehydrating himself.

Li Ge also took a sip of tea. It seemed that compared to other races, having a mutated elf as a roommate wasn't so unacceptable.

During their previous conversation, Li Ge also learned that this mutated elf was a freshman in the same class as him, number 1747, and had enrolled a few days earlier than him.

This roommate also knows information about many people in his class this year.

"Seriously, can you really transform into anything?" Li Ge was still doubtful about his abilities.

"Snap!" Yi Lian snapped his fingers, and in the next instant, he transformed into Li Ge's appearance, a college student with black-rimmed glasses, looking both innocent and foolish.

Li Ge: "..."

"Snap!" The next moment, Yi Lian's face changed again. She still looked like Li Ge, but her chest was slightly raised, her face was softer, and she had long, straight black hair like silk.

"Stop! Don't effeminate me in front of the person involved!" Li Ge suddenly had the urge to raise her hands to the sky and have a real-life Street Fighter match with her roommate right there.
