The First Class

"Originally, teacher, power, core, purification – there are too many expandable sentences. My thoughts aren't really important."

Although he had a guess, setting aside the differences in words derived from these characters, there were countless variations in how they could be combined.

However, Wen Xishu guessed that seeing the garbled text likely stemmed from his Magic Resistance being too low.

In other words, the secret treasure of Three Towers Academy was indeed related to something strange.

To deconstruct the treasure, all he needed to do was increase his Magic Resistance.

It was highly probable that if his Magic Resistance was high enough, he would be able to see the notes and find a way to enter the "Tower of Deception Academy."

Yes, with all the clues gathered, Wen Xishu was almost certain this was the gateway to the Tower of Deception Academy.

The characters above described things related to the Tower of Deception Academy.

Even though Albert said there was no Tower of Deception Academy, Three Towers Academy itself should contain three towers.

Combining this with what Albert said, that the Tower of Deception appeared later, it was also highly possible that the Tower of Deception Academy appeared later.

"Aren't we going to try digging further?" Nissen said.

Yue Yun and Wen Xishu both shook their heads. Yue Yun said:

"If you do that, you won't find the treasure, and you'll also lose academic credits for damaging academy property."

Nissen chuckled foolishly.

The three's treasure-hunting journey had to end here.

Wen Xishu said:

"We have the clues to the treasure. We've even found the 'treasure chest,' so to speak. How to open it is something for later. Let's call it a day."

Yue Yun agreed, and Nissen had no objections.

The three quickly returned to the ground along the outer wall of the library, like three thieves.

After exploring all night, Yue Yun had a new understanding of Nissen and "Wen Xun."

Nissen's physical talent was monstrous, surpassing even his own. Wen Xun was no weaker than him.

Most terrifyingly, Wen Xun also possessed strong observational skills and... a certain special aptitude.

Yue Yun wasn't jealous; he was just increasingly impressed that this was a place where geniuses gathered.

He had to put in twelve times the effort to stay ahead of countless geniuses.

Two days later, in the early morning.

As the sky above the dome began to lighten, Nissen ran to the courtyard to practice street dance, while Yue Yun went to the simulation hall very early to practice hitting wooden stakes.

Today, the freshmen of the Tower of Slaughter Academy department at Three Towers Academy would have their first class.

Yue Yun hoped to be in good condition, while Nissen hoped his singing and dancing would help him make more friends.

Wen Xishu had planned to sleep in, then go to the library to cram some basic knowledge about the Three Towers and the Bunker.

Then, he would leisurely head to his first class.

But changes always came faster than plans.

Before he could get enough sleep, Albert's assistant, Jabbar, arrived at Wen Xishu's dormitory.

"Hello, classmate Wen Xun. I'm Jabbar, from the Administration Office. I usually handle some minor matters for the Principal. Some of your personal information still needs to be completed, and you need to come with me."

Jabbar was very short, creating a significant height difference with the tall Albert.

Jabbar appeared to be about 1.5 meters tall and looked like a gentle and humble person.

He held a cane and moved at an unhurried, polite pace. His suit was completely free of wrinkles.

Looking at this person who seemed like an old butler, Wen Xishu's first thought was – Albert wants to see me.

The matter of incomplete information was just an excuse made up by the old Principal.

Wen Xishu didn't refuse and followed Jabbar to the academy's campus – the Administration Office.

Along the way, Wen Xishu didn't attract much attention because Jabbar often did such things.

The school did frequently contact students to complete certain things or sign agreements.

Jabbar's figure was indeed often seen around the academy, so it wasn't unusual.

Of course, while Jabbar appeared frequently, Albert rarely did.

If people knew that a freshman was summoned by the Principal, they would definitely pay attention to that freshman.

Jabbar did lead Wen Xishu into the Principal's office.

This office was usually empty.

This was because the Principal, Albert, was a crazy old man who liked to stay in the Tower of Slaughter to kill enemies.

However, this time, Albert was already sitting in the Level 5 boss office chair he had brought back from the Tower of Slaughter, greeting Wen Xishu in a very casual, uninhibited posture:

"Hahaha, young friend Wen Xun. You've been at Three Towers Academy for a while now. How's it going? Have you discovered anything?"

Wen Xishu didn't waste Albert's time:

"Old Principal, get straight to the point. Why did you ask me here today?"

Albert said with a smile:

"Jabbar, go take care of your business. I have a few words to share with young student Wen."

Jabbar nodded respectfully:

"Then I won't disturb you two. If you need anything else, just give me a command."

Jabbar withdrew.

Now, only two people remained in the vast principal's office.

Wen Xishu said:

"Now can you tell me what's going on? If it's not important, I'd like to go back and catch up on sleep. I want to be in top condition for class this afternoon."

"Hmm, it's good that you're so dedicated to your studies. However, the effectiveness of classroom learning is minimal. Or rather, for ordinary students, our classes are very effective, but for you, a different approach is needed." Albert revealed a playful smile.

Wen Xishu immediately had a bad feeling.

Seeing Wen Xishu frown, Albert chuckled:

"Hahahaha, don't be so nervous. In any case, you won't be able to attend your first class today."

"I will announce a new school rule this afternoon."

Wen Xishu said irritably:

"What school rule? And why can't I attend class?"

Albert explained:

"You should know that students at Tower of Slaughter Academy and Tower of Desire Academy earn their credits by climbing towers. Students in the Tower of Slaughter track earn credits by climbing the Tower of Slaughter, and students in the Tower of Desire track earn credits by climbing the Tower of Desire."

Wen Xishu's bad premonition grew stronger.

Albert continued:

"But there has never been a credit incentive mechanism for the Tower of Deception. And our Three Towers Academy is not some place that is out of touch with the real world."

"Of course, we must also keep up with the times and respond to the Bunker's call. The era of the younger generation exploring the Tower of Deception is about to begin."

"To this end, Three Towers Academy must also set an example. The regulation I'm about to announce this afternoon will officially take effect—"

"Students who explore the Tower of Deception will receive double credits."

Wen Xishu already anticipated the direction of the conversation:

"You plan to have me explore the Tower of Deception today?"

Albert applauded:

"How clever! You remind me of your brother, Wen Chaohua. You truly are brothers, both so intelligent."

Wen Xishu's face remained impassive, showing no emotion:

"That place has instant kills at the start, and the rules for each stage are incredibly difficult to figure out. One wrong move and you're dead..."

Albert shrugged:

"But you can survive, can't you? Anyway, this is your assignment for today. Well, your first class. Alright, I won't waste any more of your time. Don't even think about the afternoon classes; that's not your path."

Albert didn't give Wen Xishu a chance to refuse, and Wen Xishu knew he had no choice.

Albert picked up an old-fashioned landline phone:

"This is a Level Six item that I brought back from the Tower of Slaughter. I've given it a name: Mysterious CEO Call."

"If I call it, the other party's phone will be forcibly connected. However, they won't be able to call me, nor will they see my number."

Wen Xishu was completely taken aback by the capabilities of this seemingly ordinary phone.

"Before you log into the Tower of Deception, there are a few formalities to complete. Two people need to meet you."

A holographic projection appeared on the square, black desk phone.

The images of Liu Jinsen and Sha Ruijing materialized in the projection.

"They have a few things they want to tell you."

Wen Xishu now guessed that this tower climb, while ostensibly an assignment from Albert, was actually pressure from the Bunker Security Bureau.

He wasn't completely safe just because he had the protection of a legendary figure like Albert.

There were likely some terrifying entities above the Bunker Security Bureau.

Wen Xishu picked up the phone:

"Officer Liu, this is Wen Xishu."
