Interested in Being Captain?

The carriage rumbled along, taking only a little over half a day to travel from Lan Ba Academy to Heavenly Water Academy.

Heavenly Water Academy lay near the mountains and water, and the scenery along the way was especially pleasant.

After getting down from the carriage, Long Jie looked around. At the enormous gates of Heavenly Water Academy, there was surprisingly no one there to receive him.

"Strange. Logically speaking, since I'm here as an exchange student, shouldn't someone be here to receive me?"

Feeling extremely frustrated, Long Jie had no choice but to head toward the academy gates first.

"Stop!" The gatekeepers were all women—two or three women in the prime of their youth.

They looked about the same age as Long Jie!

Could they be here to receive me? Long Jie smiled and stepped forward. "Hello, my name is Long Jie. I'm an exchange student from Lan Ba Academy here at Heavenly Water Academy!"

The three girls glanced at Long Jie, then lowered their heads and muttered quietly.

"Hai Rou, he's so handsome. Are we really going to make things difficult for him?"

"Yue'er, stay firm. Don't be swayed by a pretty face."

"Exactly. Heavenly Water Academy is a women's academy. How can we let a man in?"

After discussing it, the three girls quickly steeled themselves again. They stood straight and looked at Long Jie. "We know who you are, but Heavenly Water Academy has never allowed men in before. You should go back!"

What? They wanted him to go back? He had come all this way to Heavenly Water Academy, and now they wanted to send him back?

Impossible.

Long Jie smiled and looked at the girl who had just spoken. She wore two short pigtails, with blue hair and a slightly round, adorable little face.

A girl this cute would probably cry for a long time if he punched her!

"Hello, my name is Long Jie. What's your name? Your pigtails are very pretty!" Long Jie gave her a sweet smile, looking especially alluring beneath the sunlight.

He extended his hand toward the girl and gave a very gentlemanly bow!

The girl's face instantly flushed red, her heart pounding wildly. She shuddered slightly and said timidly, "I... I-I'm Shui Yue'er. Hello!"

Her small hand met Long Jie's larger one. Long Jie held Shui Yue'er's hand firmly and smiled sweetly. "Nice to meet you!"

"I... me too!"

Shui Yue'er's face turned red as blood. She had been completely defeated!

"Yue'er, you really are..." Yu Hairou rubbed her forehead helplessly. What was wrong with her? How had she fallen so quickly?

He was just a man. Even if they had never seen one before, there was no need to react like this, right?

Yu Hairou confidently stepped forward, staring at Long Jie. "Hmph! Don't try any tricks. Heavenly Water Academy doesn't want you, so go back!"

Another one? Long Jie looked at Yu Hairou. This girl dressed boldly, and even her appearance was quite revealing. He couldn't be gentle with this kind of girl.

"What if I insist on coming in?" Long Jie's expression changed. He immediately went from a gentle young man to a great tiger.

He stared fixedly at Yu Hairou, releasing a wolfish aura. Yu Hairou felt as if a vicious wolf had locked onto her, cold sweat streaming down her body.

"Y-you... what do you want? I'm warning you, this is Heavenly Water Academy! If you dare touch me, you won't get away with it either!" The girl seemed to be using the last of her strength to shout, trying to bolster her courage.

Long Jie smiled and approached Yu Hairou step by step without saying a word.

"W-what are you doing?" Yu Hairou was startled and instinctively took a step back, shouting as though to encourage herself.

Yet Long Jie still said nothing, continuing to advance toward Yu Hairou step by step. As if facing some monstrous beast, Yu Hairou was terrified.

"Don't come any closer!"

The girl shouted and fell straight onto the ground!

"Heh, I thought you were brave. So this is all you've got?" Long Jie smiled, then looked at Shui Yue'er while holding his luggage. "Could you show me the way? I need to report to the Dean's Office!"

Unlike how he had treated Yu Hairou, Long Jie was incomparably gentle with Shui Yue'er. Shui Yue'er's face reddened slightly. She nodded and led Long Jie toward the Dean's Office.

Just like that, Shui Yue'er had betrayed Yu Hairou.

"Hai Rou, are you okay?" Another young girl stepped forward, looking at Yu Hairou with concern.

She had also been badly frightened just now.

Yu Hairou was still shaken. She hurriedly took a deep breath before finally calming down.

"I'm fine... Go tell Bing'er Jie that that guy has already enrolled. Yue'er has defected!"

"Yes, Hai Rou!"

"This is the Dean's Office. You should be fine as long as you tell the dean about it!" Shui Yue'er said to Long Jie with a smile, the blush still not fading from her face.

"Alright, thank you, Yue'er!" Long Jie smiled sweetly and stroked her head. Shui Yue'er did not resist, allowing Long Jie to stroke her head with an expression of enjoyment!

Inside the Dean's Office, the dean was a woman. The academy's Vice Dean was a woman. Up to this point, every person Long Jie had seen had been a woman.

"I really didn't expect Liu Erlong to send you here!" The one speaking was the academy's Vice Dean. She had arrived long ago to wait for Long Jie, which showed just how much importance she placed on him.

The Vice Dean was a middle-aged woman. Her figure was not particularly good, and her looks were ordinary, but perhaps because she was a Soul Saint, she appeared to be only around thirty.

In reality, she was already over fifty!

"Greetings, Vice Dean. This is the situation: Second Dragon Older Sister sent me here to observe and study for three months!" Long Jie spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly. He represented Liu Erlong now, so he could not let Liu Erlong lose face.

Otherwise, that woman would definitely torment him again when he returned.

"Second Dragon Older Sister? Is Liu Erlong that shameless? Making you call her older sister?" the Vice Dean mocked. "Liu Erlong and I were from the same generation. Isn't it inappropriate for her to make you call her older sister?"

What? Liu Erlong was that old? Long Jie thought of the beautiful and alluring Liu Erlong being the same age as the old woman before him?

This... somehow made him even more excited?

"Ahem, Second Dragon Older Sister didn't force me. I did it willingly!"

"Fine, I don't understand you young people. But if you like it, you can call me Older Sister in the future too!" The old woman said something shocking, startling Long Jie badly.

He called Liu Erlong Older Sister because she was beautiful, alluring, and mouthwatering... Calling you Older Sister... please spare me!

"Alright, Vice Dean!"

The Vice Dean froze for a moment but said nothing more. She led Long Jie to a courtyard with a separate room.

"The academy has never had men before, so there are no men's dormitories. Liu Erlong used to live in this room, so you can stay here now!" the Vice Dean explained as she opened the door.

The interior was just as Long Jie remembered from the last time he had visited Liu Erlong—plain, simple, and white.

"I already had the room cleaned, so you can move in right away. If you have any problems, come find me anytime!"

"Alright, thank you for the trouble, Vice Dean!"

The Vice Dean nodded and turned to leave. When she reached the doorway, she seemed to remember something. She looked at Long Jie and said, "I heard you're level thirty-three?"

"Thirty-four. I recently advanced!" Long Jie answered honestly. In this unfamiliar place, only sufficient strength could earn him the respect of others!

"Good. Then are you interested in being the captain of the Tianshui Battle Team for a few days?"
