Registration Office 100

Li Aoz took note of this Dragon Titan named Dia Lan and decided to keep an eye on him in the future.

As each foreign alien student departed, Curly identified them one by one.

"The son of Governor Maltaise of Azalea Star is here to learn Magical Economics and help his father reform the enterprise."

"This is the granddaughter of Wilmadan, the Prime Minister of the Kotler Republic. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be here for political asylum."

"Be careful of the Purple-skinned Orc sent by the Costa Tribe, a warrior race. They're here to learn Magical Combat so they can go back and suppress racial rebellions—that's a common occurrence."

Curly's knowing-it-all manner of details changed Li Aoz's initially relaxed attitude.

"It seems this school is not as simple as it seems."

"There are hidden talents here," Curly chuckled. "Let me tell you, this school's peculiarity doesn't stop there; there are some deep secrets hidden inside..."

Li Aoz looked at Curly: "After saying so much, why don't you introduce yourself?"

"I?"

"Yeah, I see you know quite a bit, brother. You can accurately recognize every new student. You're no ordinary person." Li Aoz chuckled, but his expression in his suit was so stiff that it sent a chill down one's spine.

Fortunately, his charm was high enough that Li Aoz was confident he could extract a lot of information just by relying on his charm.

Curly-haired guy blinked.

"Next!"

"The teacher at the registration desk called out."

"You're here." Curly-haired man took the opportunity to turn around, came up to him, and showed him his ID and admission notice: "Here, take a look, is there a problem?"

"Hobbes Ruhr? Hmm, that name doesn't suit you. I thought you'd be a muscular young man with straight hair."

The teacher compared the photos and then activated the Mental Power detection system: "Come here, look over here, let me check your Mental Power and analyze it."

Curly-haired man tilted his head slightly, and Li Aoz, who was standing behind him, suddenly noticed that Curly-haired man unconsciously tugged at the corner of his clothes.

— He made that move because he felt pressured by the gaze of the Dragon Titan Girl.

This kid is lying.

Li Aoz narrowed his eyes slightly, about to activate the [Eye of Truth] to take a look, but then gave up.

The White Candle Star Education Bureau has been trying to suppress his identity. If it were to be revealed that he was the mastermind behind the Valenkov incident, he probably wouldn't be able to stay here any longer.

He needs to keep a low profile now; if he uses Aoneng, the Higgs detection field on the Magic Side will immediately spot him.

He could use his Aoneng freely in the wilderness without a care, but in a metropolis like Trivella, he needed to be able to distinguish between what was important and what was not.

Curly held his breath, focused his Mental Power, and sent a strand of hair to touch the testing equipment. His eyes were extremely focused, but Li Aoz could tell from his efforts to pinch the hem of his clothes that he was extremely nervous.

It was just a test of Mental Power... Did he use some method to fake it?

After his intelligence improved, Li Aoz's thinking and observation skills became much sharper, but he did not directly expose the other party's identity. Instead, he observed Curly's performance.

He looked down and noticed a black ring on the middle finger of Curly's left hand. With his strong elemental affinity, Li Aoz was able to sense the energy fluctuations with a little effort.

[Can that ring generate Mental Power?]

Li Aoz was taken aback.

He had roamed the Star Abyss for so many years, and he had never heard of equipment being able to generate Mental Power.

Mental Power can only be a product of the brain and soul.

Even a divine sword consciousness like Jannia's couldn't generate Mental Power; she could only communicate with Li Aoz through the resonance of divine power within her body.

Although Li Aoz and Jannia communicate through Mental Power, Giannia can only communicate with him through divine resonance.

The communication methods of the "weird" faction are simpler and more direct; they rely on spiritual power and talent, which is different from Mental Power.

Unless, of course, the ring is not equipment, but a living being, a being with self-awareness and an independent soul.

That doesn't make sense either— Li Aoz glanced at the security checkpoint not far away—if it were really a biological substance, wouldn't it have been detected at the security checkpoint long ago? The teacher, having finished the inspection, nodded slightly.

"Hmm, no problem. Your Mental Power is a bit weak. You should train it properly in the future."

Curly-haired man subtly shrugged his shoulders and exhaled, "Thank you."

"Study hard, young man." After registering, the teacher returned the certificate to Curly: " At the Magical Application Academy, follow the road on your left to the end, and when you see the Central Lake, take the bridge in the middle and go all the way to the castle."

"OK."

Curly-haired ' Hobbes ' nodded, picked up his luggage, took a few steps, and then greeted Li Aoz: "Hey, which college are you going to?"

"Same, Magical Application Academy."

"Then let's go together since we're going the same way."

"Can."

"Next."

As soon as Li Aoz finished speaking, the teacher called him to the front, "Show me your ID."

Li Aoz handed over his ID card, and the teacher glanced at it. "Why is there nothing in the household registration section?"

Compared to other foreign students, the teachers' tone towards them was not as friendly or responsible, and was more perfunctory.

"My household registration is still in my hometown, Blue Chrysanthemum Village. My family doesn't own any property, so I didn't register. The school promised to change it after I enrolled," Li Aoz replied.

"Fine, that's just how the general affairs department is." The teacher's eyelids drooped. "Lioz... no surname? Oh well, his parents aren't educated, so it's normal for them to give him such a common name."

He flipped through a few pages. "Hmm, no problem. You checked into the hotel in advance, why didn't you come earlier? If you had come earlier, I wouldn't be working overtime until now."

He kept muttering to himself, completely unlike his previous good temper.

After confirming everything was correct, he conducted a Mental Power test on Li Aoz: "Look up, look at the runes, don't make me say it twice—hmm, okay, no problem, your Mental Power is quite strong. Graduate soon and become a workshop supervisor, you know the place, next."

Li Aoz didn't care about these things. He put away the documents in his hand, turned around and left side by side with Hobbes, heading towards the Magical Application Academy.

"Your name is Lioz? Don't you have a surname? Or are you deliberately hiding it?"

"Don't worry about such details," Li Aoz said dismissively.

"Surnames are related to bloodlines and magical talent," Hobbes said meaningfully. "Although everyone says they don't discriminate based on lineage, people without surnames are still discriminated against to some extent—if you deliberately hide it..."

'That's no pushover.'

Upon hearing this, Li Aoz naturally understood what he meant.

So he deliberately glanced at the other person's ring in a blatant manner:

"Likewise."

After saying this, the two smiled at each other, Hobbes gently pressed his ring, and immediately changed the subject.

They both have a little secret, but they neither reveal it nor expose it, which is better for everyone.
