Since the birth of the Ice Elemental Holy Spirit, the Snow Maiden, two more days had passed.
Time had reached September in the summer.
Tomorrow, it would be the start of the new term at Pearl Academy.
Fang Yu came to the second-floor balcony of the courtyard, looking at the azure sky as he let out a breath.
In the blink of an eye, he had already stayed home cultivating for two months.
Since awakening his magic, three years had already passed.
The goals he had set back then—now, he had exceeded them.
As expected of you, Fang Yu!
Reviewing his current achievements.
[Cultivation: Mid-Tier Mage]
[Spiritual Realm: First Realm Peak]
[Ice Element Mid-Tier Level 1]
[Elemental Seed·Zero Domain: 2.6x amplification]
(Basic-Tier star particles Level 4)
[Space Element Mid-Tier Level 1]
[Summoning Element Mid-Tier Level 1]
(Summoned Beast: Golden Ape: Warrior Level)
(Contract Beast: Snow Maiden: Advanced Servant Level)
Looking over his three elements, Fang Yu felt a strong sense of accomplishment.
Effort + cheat-like advantage.
In three years, he had achieved extraordinary results.
Now, with this cultivation and this setup, enrolling in Pearl Academy meant invincibility within the Green Campus.
At this moment, Fang Yu felt a bit inflated.
He wanted to go straight to the freshman assembly and take on two hundred people alone.
At that time, he could go claim the "Three-Step Tower" resources.
Now that all three of his magic elements had reached Mid-Tier Level 1, continuing with step-by-step cultivation would not be very efficient.
In the original story, most of the early-stage resources had already been obtained by him. What remained were either hidden, hard to find, or inaccessible due to insufficient strength.
In short, the Three-Step Tower at Pearl Academy was the only place at this stage that could significantly boost his cultivation.
He had to secure it.
The key lay in this freshman assembly.
The next day, morning.
Fang Yu arrived at Pearl Academy.
After stepping through the grand, ancient, and solemn academy gates, he headed straight toward the dormitory building.
According to academy rules, new students were required to stay on campus during the enrollment phase.
After a short while, Fang Yu arrived at the dormitory.
It was a four-person room, larger than the six-person dorms from high school, fully equipped with a kitchen and bathroom.
One could only say, it truly lived up to being a top-tier academy.
He chose a good bed.
This spot was next to the balcony, offering a clear view outside and of the girls' dormitory across from it.
In other words, if conditions allowed he could enjoy the sight of beautiful figures.
After a moment, a young man walked in. He was handsome, smiling as his gaze fell on Fang Yu, who was arranging his bed.
"Yo!"
"I thought I'd be the first one here. Let me introduce myself, I'm Qin Shuo, majoring in Earth Element…" Qin Shuo's smile was warm and friendly.
Fang Yu turned and said, "Fang Yu, Space Element."
"Nice, man!"
Qin Shuo said in surprise, "You actually awakened such a rare element."
"Luck."
Qin Shuo: ???
Looking at Fang Yu tidying his bed, Qin Shuo thought to himself, was this guy seriously being so low-key about it?
"Anyway, I need to organize my stuff. This dorm is kind of dirty."
"Go ahead."
Qin Shuo glanced around. The place was messy and untidy, giving him a headache.
But since it was where they'd be staying long-term, it definitely needed cleaning.
He chose the bed opposite Fang Yu and started cleaning as well.
After both of them finished, they began chatting.
After talking for a while, when it was time to eat, Fang Yu suggested.
"Want to grab a meal together?"
"Sure."
The two formed a group and headed to the cafeteria.
After the meal, Qin Shuo's girlfriend called him away, so he left first.
Fang Yu had nothing to do, so he started wandering around.
He was familiarizing himself with the layout of Pearl Academy, in case he got lost later. Getting lost in such a huge university was quite common.
Of course, it wasn't because he wanted to admire energetic, youthful, and lively female college students.
3 PM.
Fang Yu received a message to gather in the classroom, it was basically for a freshman meeting.
After arriving at the classroom, Fang Yu found that neither the instructor nor the students had arrived. The entire classroom was empty and quiet.
Fang Yu was puzzled.
Wait…?
It was already close to the gathering time, and he hadn't arrived late!
So why was there no one here? A bad feeling crept into his mind.
A bit helpless, he could only sit down and wait.
A moment later, someone unexpected walked in through the door.
It was none other than Dean Xiao, whom he had met during the earlier interview.
Dean Xiao walked over to Fang Yu's side, revealing a kind smile as he said, "Fang Yu, we meet again."
"Dean Xiao!"
Fang Yu, who had been sitting and waiting, quickly stood up and greeted him respectfully. This was a big shot.
"Sit down."
Dean Xiao explained, "Your Space Element instructor has gone for academic exchange and isn't at the academy for now. During this period, I'll be teaching you in his place."
"First, I'll go over some of the academy rules with you."
"We're not waiting for the others?" Fang Yu asked, confused.
"It's just you," Dean Xiao replied.
"Just me?" Fang Yu was stunned.
"Yes. This year, Pearl Academy has admitted only you into the Space Element within the Dimensional Department," Dean Xiao explained.
Hearing this, Fang Yu felt utterly miserable. His cool-dressed, fair-skinned, beautiful, elegant, youthful, and energetic female classmates gone, all gone.
Now he was all alone!
Still Fang Yu had no intention of switching to the Ice Element.
After all, not everyone gets the chance to be taught by a Forbidden Curse-level mentor.
Even if it was only temporary, it was more than enough.
"Dean Xiao, when do we start classes?" Fang Yu asked.
He was now quite curious about Dean Xiao's mastery of the Space Element, just how far had he reached?
And what kind of growth could Dean Xiao's experience bring him?
"No rush. The freshman event is about to begin. Formal lessons will start after that," Dean Xiao said with a smile.
Afterward, he went over some of the academy's rules.
Things like what needed to be done during the semester, what assessments there would be, and the requirements for advancing to the Main Campus.
Of course, Dean Xiao also told him that the freshman event would involve sparring battles against students of the Summoning Element.
Although Summoning Element students varied in strength, they had always been considered nearly unbeatable at the Basic-Tier stage.
The purpose of Pearl Academy's freshman event was to have students fight these summoned beasts, allowing them to experience in advance what it felt like to battle magical creatures.
A week later.
The day of the freshman event finally arrived. It was undoubtedly the grandest occasion in the entire Green Campus.
Those senior students who had already spent some time at the academy would never miss such an entertaining show of watching the freshmen embarrass themselves. Meanwhile, on the freshmen's side, quite a few confident students were secretly waiting for this perfect opportunity to rise to fame and become the center of attention.
Perhaps every student here had been a prodigy in their own region, but at Pearl Academy, it was easy to be drowned out among waves of magical geniuses.
"Did you find out everything about the six Summoning Element students' summoned beasts?"
In the cafeteria, three boys sat together, discussing it as if it were some major national affair.
"More or less. That guy named Bai Qi uses Plant magic, his combat power won't lose to an adult magical beast. Zheng Yi has a Dark Pattern Wolf, a summoned beast with very strong strength and defense. Then there's Wu Buzhi, whose summoned creature is a Bone Armored Turtle…" Qin Shuo said.
"A Bone Armored Turtle? That thing is seriously hard to deal with!" exclaimed a boy with notably dark skin.
"If it's hard to deal with, then don't. The others shouldn't be too troublesome. As for the Bone Armored Turtle, leave it to the Mid-Tier mages," said another sharp-looking boy.
These two, the dark-skinned boy was named Yang Yan, a Water Element mage. The sharp-looking one was Lu Ran, a Lightning Element mage.
At present, both were at Basic-Tier Level 3 cultivation.
They were Fang Yu's roommates, living under the same roof, and their relationship was fairly good.
"There's also a Summoning Element student named Shao Hui. So far, no information about his summoned creature has spread," Qin Shuo added.
"That's fine. We'll just pick the easy targets. Anyone or any team that defeats one of the summoned beasts will receive a big reward from the academy."
"Exactly. Otherwise, why would we go through all this trouble gathering intel?"
"As for rewards, I, Qin Shuo, don't really care. There's just this Summoning Element guy who actually dared to compete with me for the girl I've got my eye on."
"Qin Shuo, you really like those cold, iceberg-type beauties. I'm different, I like Ding Yumian…"
"Damn, who doesn't like Ding Yumian? She's a campus beauty at Pearl Academy. I was lucky enough to see her on enrollment day, it was so stunning I almost got a nosebleed!"
"Right? She's basically a supreme goddess!"
