The Academy's Best Perk!

Lu Jun's fingers unconsciously tapped against the tabletop as his gaze occasionally stole toward Gu Yue Na, who was eating with great relish.

The Silver Dragon King was currently holding a slice of cake, her soft pink tongue lightly licking the cream from the corner of her lips as satisfaction gleamed in her purple eyes.

Was this really the Silver Dragon King who wanted to destroy humanity in the original story?

Right now, she really looked no different from an ordinary beautiful girl.

Lu Jun complained wildly in his heart.

It was practically like she had been given an entirely different character setting.

Where had the Silver Dragon King who inherited the Dragon God's wisdom gone?

Oh, wait. The Dragon God had been a Love Brain too.

Then never mind.

"What are you looking at?"

Gu Yue Na suddenly looked up. There was still a little cream on the corner of her mouth, making her look adorably dazed, adorably dazed.

Lu Jun hurriedly looked away.

"N-Nothing."

Gu Yue Na stared at him suspiciously, then suddenly reached up to wipe the corner of her mouth.

When she noticed the cream on her fingertips, the tips of her ears instantly turned bright red.

"Ahem." Lu Jun silently handed her a tissue.

Gu Yue Na snatched the tissue and vigorously wiped her mouth.

"You're not going to tell anyone that I can actually eat a lot, are you?" Gu Yue Na suddenly asked in a lowered voice.

Lu Jun immediately raised both hands in surrender.

"I swear, I've forgotten everything that happened today."

"...You don't need to be that dramatic."

Clatter.

The sound of plates colliding suddenly came from a corner of the cafeteria, making Gu Yue Na and Lu Jun turn to look.

They saw Long Chen holding a precariously swaying stack of plates, staring at them in utter shock.

The plates were stacked higher than he was. Clearly, this guy had also waited until there was hardly anyone in the cafeteria before secretly stuffing himself, just like Gu Yue Na.

It was just that no one had expected it, and neither side had guarded against the other. They had all been caught in the act.

Thus, the moment the three of them met eyes, the air seemed to freeze.

Long Chen swallowed, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

In a flurry, he set the plates down on the nearest empty table.

"I-I just came to get a late-night snack!" Long Chen stammered, his eyes darting everywhere. "You two carry on, carry on."

After saying that, he turned and ran as though he had seen a ghost. He even tripped over himself along the way and nearly fell flat on his face.

Lu Jun and Gu Yue Na looked at each other.

Long Chen, it seemed like you had given yourself away.

Besides, it was only noon. Where was he supposed to find a late-night snack?

Had he gotten too nervous?

"He seems..." Lu Jun carefully chose his words. "...to be able to eat as much as you. No wonder you both only chose to eat at times like this."

He did not understand it.

Wasn't having a good appetite a virtue?

Why did they have to hide it from people?

Gu Yue Na gave a soft huff.

"You don't understand. Especially for me—if everyone knew my appetite was this big, they would definitely look at me strangely."

"As for why he does it, I don't know, and I don't want to know."

"Come to think of it, you're right." Lu Jun nodded in agreement. "But you clearly seem more popular than I am. How come hardly any guys have come over to bother you so far?"

Gu Yue Na finished the last of the water in her cup.

"They don't dare."

"..."

Just then, the Homeroom Teacher's voice came from the entrance of the cafeteria.

"You two have finished lunch, right? Come on, I'll take you to the dormitories. It's time for your midday break."

The Homeroom Teacher led Lu Jun and Gu Yue Na through the dormitory area.

After turning a corner, two exquisite detached buildings appeared before them.

"The girls' dormitory is on the left, and the boys' dormitory is on the right."

"Yours is Room 201." The Homeroom Teacher handed Gu Yue Na a key, then tossed another one to Lu Jun. "And yours is Room 107."

"On the first floor? That's pretty nice."

No stairs to climb. Much more comfortable.

"At the end of each floor's corridor, there are exclusive Simulated Training Rooms for various attributes. If other students want to use them, they have to spend a certain amount of Federal Coins every hour."

The Homeroom Teacher began introducing the facilities to them.

"But you two are Core Disciples of the Spirit Pagoda, so you naturally enjoy the same status at Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Especially you, Lu Jun—every expense of yours will be reimbursed by the Spirit Pagoda."

"So you can enjoy all the resources as much as you like."

"Also, your dormitory has its own specially customized small-scale Mimicry Environment. You won't need to line up with anyone else."

"Thank you." Lu Jun gave a slight bow.

The Spirit Pagoda was truly...

Incredibly generous in its efforts to recruit him!

"Mm. I'll send the academy map to your communicators later." The Homeroom Teacher did not say much else. "It'll also be more convenient when you want to visit the relevant Second Profession associations and so on in the future."

"All right, it's midday break now, so I won't disturb you any further. Remember to be on time for class this afternoon."

"Yes, thank you, Teacher," Lu Jun and Gu Yue Na said in unison.

After watching the Homeroom Teacher leave, the two looked at each other.

"I'll head off first and see what the dorm is like."

"Mm."

Gu Yue Na folded her hands before her abdomen. Only after watching Lu Jun enter the dormitory building did she turn and go inside her own.

Following the room numbers outside the dorms, Lu Jun arrived at Room 107.

He pushed open the door, praying that he would not run into some idiot roommate.

But when he looked up, his eyes immediately lit up.

The spacious living room was covered with soft carpeting, and beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows was even a private little garden!

There was everything from a meditation room to a Mimicry Environment training room. There was even a room with a small forging station and a Mecha Manufacturing station, clearly prepared according to Lu Jun's Second Profession.

And in the bedroom, the large bed looked exceptionally comfortable. A box of premium pastries had even been thoughtfully placed on the bedside table.

Was this really a dormitory?

It was no different from a luxury house!

"This treatment..." Lu Jun whistled. "As expected of someone with connections to the Spirit Pagoda. This is the real good life."

"Looks like it's a single dorm too. This is much more comfortable."

As everyone knew, when living in a school dormitory, it was best to pray that all your luck went into getting assigned a roommate.

Getting a good roommate affected the rest of your school life.

If you got certain roommates with poor character, you would truly suffer.

Lu Jun threw himself onto the sofa in the living room and casually opened the box of pastries.

They were actually his favorite flavor.

"The age of big data."

"With treatment this good, I feel like I'm about to slack off."

The moment Lu Jun had that thought, he fiercely shook his head.

"No, that won't do. I absolutely can't slack off."

"While things are peaceful, I have to work hard at cultivation."

"Who knows what the Tang Sect will try to do later, not to mention the abyssal invasion that will come even further down the line."

"Cultivate, cultivate! I'll strive to break through to Rank 32 this week!"

After encouraging himself, Lu Jun walked directly into the Mimicry Environment training room, selected a simulation of the frigid Extreme North, and began cultivating.

Morning sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains and spilled into the dormitory. Inside the training room, Lu Jun slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the abundant Soul Power within his body, the corners of his lips unconsciously rose.

Finally, Rank 32!

Ding—

The Soul Tool Alarm Clock in the training room rang right on time.

Lu Jun sprang to his feet, washed up, and did his morning exercises in one smooth sequence.

These past few days of regular academy life had let him more or less adapt to the academy's rhythm.

Even breakfast was delivered to him by someone at the same time every day, saving him the trip to the cafeteria.

This perk...

Was simply too good!

As always, Lu Jun arrived at the classroom on time.

Ready for the day's lessons.

The Homeroom Teacher strode into the classroom.

"Quiet."

With just one sentence, the previously lively class instantly fell silent.

"After the academy's decision," the Homeroom Teacher said in a deep voice, "our class will represent Sun Moon Royal Academy in next month's Tianhai Alliance Competition."
