Lu Yuan felt the same way.
After all, one of the reasons he had chosen Shencheng Supernatural University was—
An Ice Grandmaster of the seventh rank taught here.
Using the room number on the key the reception teacher had given him, Lu Yuan quickly found his dorm.
At the same time, a pretty figure from the dorm across the hall unexpectedly caught his eye.
She had delicate features,
eyes like autumn waters, and fair skin. Her thin lips were as vivid and dewy as flower petals.
Her smooth black hair was tied high with a red ribbon,
and the simple T-shirt she wore did nothing to hide her striking figure!
Her legs beneath the black skirt were long and slender, without an ounce of excess fat. It was hard to look away!
As a side note, a light-blue little dragon was sprawled across her shoulder. It was probably her Companion Beast.
Compared with the hamster he had seen on the high-speed train earlier, this little light-blue dragon was on a whole other level—not just in strength, but in its very species!
That also showed that the girl must come from a very wealthy family. Otherwise, she couldn't possibly have a Companion Beast like this.
Seeing the suitcase beside the girl, Lu Yuan knew that, like him, she was a newly arrived Special Recruit.
"I didn't expect there to be so few Special Recruits—and one of them is such a beauty!"
But he wasn't the sort to lose himself in a pretty face. After a few quick glances and a remark of admiration, Lu Yuan looked away,
then unlocked his dorm with the key and pulled his suitcase inside.
?!
At the entrance to the dorm across the hall, a newly arrived Special Recruit had also noticed the young man in the opposite dorm.
He had straight, sword-like brows and bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and a sharply defined jaw. Tall and handsome, he gave off a remarkably comfortable impression.
Of course, that wasn't all the Special Recruit had noticed.
Her name was Xia Qingyin, and she had awakened an S-rank grass-type ability—Natural Spirit Dew—which gave her a certain degree of perceptive ability.
Through her ability, Xia Qingyin could sense that the young man across the hall radiated a biting, icy aura.
In other words, he had awakened an ice-type ability.
"Master, I'm so sleepy~"
The Deepwater Demon Dragon Cub on Xia Qingyin's shoulder sent a soft, babyish voice into her mind.
Once a Companion Beast and an ability user formed a contract, they could communicate telepathically without speaking.
Usually, an ability user could contract only one Companion Beast, and a Companion Beast could be contracted by only one ability user.
The contract would automatically end only if either the Companion Beast or the ability user died.
The Deepwater Magic Dragon was an extremely rare Companion Beast, and could eventually grow to the seventh rank!
Her Lineage had paired her with a water-type Companion Beast because her grass-type ability was especially vulnerable to fire-type abilities. Among those who awakened Elemental Category abilities, fire types were also among the most common!
A water-type Companion Beast could protect its master from damage while helping her deal damage.
But there was a problem. Fire types weren't the only ones that countered grass types...
Ice types were rarer, but they could also counter grass types, though not as effectively as fire types.
"There's actually a Special Recruit who awakened an ice-type ability. Looks like he'll be a troublesome opponent in the upcoming Freshman Tournament."
Xia Qingyin's gaze sharpened. Her red lips moved as she murmured softly.
"All right, I'm going in now."
After murmuring, Xia Qingyin spoke to her Companion Beast—the Deepwater Demon Dragon Cub.
Then she opened the door to her dorm and went inside.
Lu Yuan entered his dorm.
Inside,
Once he opened the door to the two-story villa, a spacious living room greeted him.
The floor was spotless and gleaming,
with an elegant marble coffee table, a soft leather sofa, and a dazzling Crystal Chandelier...
Together, they created an atmosphere that felt warm and soothing.
Lu Yuan nodded, thoroughly pleased with the accommodations at Shencheng Supernatural University!
"Hello, I'm your Dorm Smart Assistant, Xiao Ya. If you need anything, you can call my name anywhere in the villa!"
Suddenly, a sweet voice with a slight mechanical quality sounded beside him.
"It even comes with a Smart Management Assistant?" Lu Yuan said, first taken aback, then testing it out. "Turn on the air conditioning for me."
Beep!
"The air conditioning is now on!"
The faint rumble of the air conditioner filled the room, and cool air soon brushed across his face.
"Not bad, it really is pretty smart! The air conditioner's pretty powerful, too."
Lu Yuan's gaze drifted to the side, where he discovered that the villa even had a kitchen!
He wasn't very good at cooking; back home, he often made inedible disasters.
Still, it was nice to have one.
Lu Yuan's gaze wandered farther into the distance. At the edge of the living room stood a wooden spiral staircase leading to the villa's second floor.
