I Have Entered the School, Feeling Good

In an alley within Academy Garden, a man wearing a black baseball cap was furtively observing something.

"What exactly are you doing... Can't you just walk on the main street? Why the alley?" Seeing her contractor acting so cowardly, Paqi felt like jumping out of the book and giving him a good beating—though she probably couldn't win.

"This is Academy Garden, a girls' school district. If I, a guy, walk on the main street, won't I be gawked at like a rare animal?" After all, this was Luo Yifang, not Accelerator. If it were the loli-loving Accelerator, he wouldn't be so reluctant—he only liked lolis. "Besides, do you think a Necromancer would go to a crowded place? I'm afraid he might not be able to resist and unleash a plague, or reanimate zombies."

"Heh." Two simple words conveyed the complexity of Paqi's feelings at that moment.

"Moreover... don't you find that coffee shop strange?" Luo Yifang pulled down the brim of his hat, leaned against a wall, and pointed towards a coffee shop deep in the alley. "There are no other shops on this street, but there's a coffee shop at the very end? The owner is either suspicious or an idiot."

Paqi followed Luo Yifang's gaze and indeed saw a coffee shop... decorated very strangely. Seriously, what kind of idiot would hang a skull on a coffee shop sign? This isn't a Pirates of the Caribbean set! And what was with that unmistakable aura of Necromantic Magic? Paqi felt like she was living in an abnormal world, where even the villains had this IQ?! Was this a children's show?

"You noticed it too," Luo Yifang continued. "This guy... uh, he really seems to have some issues?"

If you've been tricked by such a mentally unstable person for days, you can't be much better yourself! Paqi covered her face. She really didn't want to work here anymore; if it weren't for the five yuan salary per month, she would have run away long ago. But no matter what Paqi thought, Luo Yifang still felt something was off. As he approached the coffee shop, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Standing here and watching would be pointless anyway. Why not go in and confront the guy?

He pushed the door open and a gust of cold wind hit him. Of course, this had no effect on Luo Yifang. Paqi said at this moment, "Ohoho, so it's the real deal, this bone-chilling demeanor?"

"No," Luo Yifang looked up at something and slowly replied, "I think the air conditioning is just set too low."

"Uh..." Paqi paused and fell silent. This Necromancer must be a lunatic!

"Um, sir, what would you like to drink?" Just then, a soft, sweet voice came from the counter. Luo Yifang looked over and saw a girl with long, silver-white hair standing there, looking at him with a dazed expression. However, the necromantic energy constantly emanating from her clearly indicated her identity.

What? This is the evil Necromancer? Luo Yifang almost dropped his jaw. This was completely different from what he imagined! Shouldn't that guy be a bearded, big-eyed, burly man in a tattered black cloak, wearing nine skulls around his neck and wielding a staff made of human bones?

"Are you sure you're thinking of a Necromancer... and not a Berserker? Sha Wujing?" Paqi chimed in at the right moment.

"Alright, no matter what, the matter needs to be investigated," Luo Yifang spread his hands. Although she was a beautiful girl, he wasn't the type to freeze up at the sight of a beauty and go easy on her. Besides, what if this was just the Necromancer's disguise, and she was actually an old woman of eighty or ninety? Thinking of this, Luo Yifang shivered, his eyes filled with coldness as he looked at the girl. Good heavens, using such a pretty girl as a cover? Today, I shall act on behalf of heaven...

"Sir, are you alright? Is it because I set the air conditioning too low and you're feeling uncomfortable? I'll turn it up right away." Seeing Luo Yifang's silence, the girl thought he was uncomfortable because of the cold and frantically fumbled for the remote to turn up the air conditioning.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yifang's voice deepened, and he waved his hand, "No need. I've come for you today!"

"For me?" The silver-haired girl's pretty face blushed. "But sir, we should be meeting for the first time."

"Hmph, it is indeed our first time, but I have already crossed paths with your evil creation," Luo Yifang secretly sealed off all escape routes while maintaining a calm demeanor. "Quickly tell me your purpose in coming to Academy City, and perhaps I can consider..."

"Um, sir... have you misunderstood something?" The silver-haired girl looked confused. "What evil creation? Although I am a Necromancer, I haven't summoned any undead yet! And since you know I'm a Necromancer, can you tell me how to get back to Rogue Camp?"

"There's no need to pretend... Wait, what did you say? Rogue Camp?" Luo Yifang's tone shifted, and his eyes revealed disbelief. Has Diablo arrived? Am I going to have to fight Diablo solo later?

"Yes, I've been in this unknown world for over a month now," the girl said with a dejected expression. "But my sister and teammates are still waiting for me to go back and adventure together. It's all my fault; I bought a Town Portal Scroll from that swindler at a low price, which caused me to be teleported to this unknown place."

Wait, Luo Yifang felt a bit confused. This girl said she came from Rogue Camp, which means the world of Diablo? She also mentioned a sister and teammates, implying she's an adventurer. And looking at her naive appearance, she could even be tricked into buying a shoddy Town Portal Scroll... Speaking of which, this scroll directly broke the world barrier and brought her to another world. Was buying it cheap a gain or a loss?

"She doesn't look like an evil Necromancer at all," Paqi chuckled. "I just checked, and her heart is even purer than a Priest's. I don't know how such a person became a Necromancer. It seems you've found the wrong person."

Then what about that magic circle?

"Oh, you mean that magic circle," the girl lightly tapped her lips with her finger. "I encountered a group of Wraiths there last time and had a lot of trouble dealing with them."

So you were just fighting demons and upholding justice? Luo Yifang was exasperated. But if that were the case, how could he explain that moving corpse? It couldn't have achieved enlightenment on its own and transcended the mortal realm to become a Zombie, could it?

"Sir, you've also encountered that corpse?" The girl looked at Luo Yifang with some surprise. "That corpse is quite powerful; I couldn't handle it alone. If my magic hadn't coincidentally countered it, I might have died at its hands last time..."
