The newly built teaching building was bustling with activity.
It was currently the enrollment season at Shrek.
Ji Siyuan was praying that he would not be assigned to Zhou Yi's class.
That woman was truly bizarre; while she did have a tendency to protect her own students, her behavior was simply inhuman, and her teaching methods were beyond comprehension.
What kind of education had he received? Hidden weapon techniques taught hand-in-hand by Tang San, and culinary arts fed to him meal by meal by Rong Nianbing.
Although these things had little to do with direct combat, they were certainly not something Zhou Yi's teaching could compare to.
After collecting their dormitory keys, freshman badges, and school uniforms, it was time to check their assigned teachers.
With Huo Yuhao there, they didn't need to squeeze through the crowd at all.
"Huo Yuhao and I are both in Freshman Class One, and our homeroom teacher is Zhou Yi."
Tang Ya exclaimed that it was bad news and began to describe how perverted Zhou Yi was.
Bei Bei still put in a few good words for Zhou Yi.
It was clear that the students were full of complaints about her.
After walking around, Bei Bei and Tang Ya went to take their advancement tests, while the others headed toward the freshman dormitory.
"That... Ji Siyuan? Brother Yuan?"
Ji Siyuan: "I don't know how you'd like to address me? Whatever feels natural to you is fine."
Huo Yuhao's face lit up with joy: "Then I'll just call you Siyuan."
"Fine."
The two arrived at the entrance of the freshman dormitory.
An elderly man in grey clothes sat on a wooden chair, looking like a candle flickering in the wind.
Be careful, he is very strong. He should be a Rank 99 Titled Douluo, but he has suffered very serious injuries. Tang San wasn't familiar with other levels, but he was certainly familiar with Rank 99.
"Understood."
Huo Yuhao bowed to the old man: "Hello, Grandpa."
The old man nodded and took the freshman badge Huo Yuhao handed over.
"Go on, Dormitory 108."
Ji Siyuan didn't understand; didn't the key already have the room number on it?
Huo Yuhao looked at Ji Siyuan, who hadn't made a sound.
"Siyuan?"
"You go on up first."
Although Huo Yuhao didn't understand, he followed the instruction; he trusted Ji Siyuan.
Mu En's small wheelchair was pushed by him to a spot bathed in light: "Oh my, Senior, you want to feel the spirit of the youth, don't you? You should be in a place full of sunshine like this, shouldn't you? Why hide in a dark corner?"
"You must be the one Bei Bei asked me to write a recommendation letter for. How did you figure out who I am?"
"Tsk, Senior, can we discuss something?"
"Oh, trying to pull strings the moment you arrive at the academy? Your character is lacking."
Ji Siyuan: "Sigh, isn't this because of her reputation? Look, what has the academy arranged? The teacher who loves expelling students the most is in the first year. Once school actually starts in two days, won't I be expelled just for stepping into the classroom with my left foot first?"
Mu En didn't hide it: "This is also a test for you all. Zhou Yi's class has the highest rate of entry into the Inner Court."
"Look, you aren't listening to me. How can you look at such metrics? Look, the child who just bowed to you—the rate of children bowing to you today should be 50% now."
Mu En said irritably: "That's only because you turned my wheelchair around! I can't see the students anymore, only the sun."
"Oh my, this is the problem with only looking at one set of data."
"I know, but this won't work either. I'm just an old man. I don't have the authority to order teachers around."
"Tsk. Fine, then I'm heading up."
"You're just going to leave me here staring at the sun?"
Ji Siyuan: "Oh, almost forgot."
He turned Mu En's wheelchair back around: "Senior, I left a little surprise for you. If you can handle it, handle it; if you can't, I'll take care of it when I come back down later. Don't worry, it's just to let more people see you."
A small flicker of flame was placed next to Mu En's wheelchair.
It wouldn't burn the wheelchair, but it would certainly draw more people to look in this direction.
Watching Ji Siyuan walk away, Mu En reached out and picked up the flame: "Ultimate Fire? And Innate Full Soul Power... truly a fine seedling."
Tang San: Siyuan, you've made a habit of being lazy. Rong Nianbing and I couldn't be strict with you, so finding a strict teacher is a good thing.
"Uh, Uncle Tang, you don't really think that Zhou Yi is down there just because she's strict, do you? She might not even be as good as Yu Xiaogang."
That can't be right.
"I reckon it is."
He opened the door to his dormitory: "Huh? 108? Isn't this the same room as Huo Yuhao?"
Ji Siyuan pondered: What is going on?
Shouldn't this place be the dormitory for one-third of God King Tang's daughter, the heaven-defying version? Why was it given to me?
The old man playing with fire downstairs was still waiting for him to go down.
The old man would also look after him a little bit.
Huo Yuhao was instantly delighted to see it was him.
She immediately walked over: "Siyuan, you're my roommate. You had me worried for a long time."
Ji Siyuan: "What is there to worry about?"
After saying that, he remembered that this person was a girl. For a moment, the situation became somewhat awkward.
He had originally thought Huo Yuhao would know some rules, but it turned out she had none at all.
He didn't quite understand why she trusted him so much to be a gentleman, or if she meant to say she trusted her own ability to go several years of living together without being exposed at all?
Wang Dong had the secret techniques of the Clear Sky Sect to hide her identity, but Huo Yutong did not. How was she going to hide herself while disguised as Huo Yuhao? And how did she pass the tests?
Ji Siyuan couldn't figure it out.
On the contrary, Tang San enthusiastically urged him: "What are you thinking about? Isn't living in a dormitory with a beautiful girl exactly what you want? Proximity allows one to get the best of things; it will be very easy for you to take down the Daughter of Luck this way."
"Uncle Tang, although I am lecherous, I can't just go for someone because it benefits me, right? I have to at least like her first."
How could a conquest without feelings work? Mainly, he hadn't even seen Huo Yuhao restore her female appearance yet. (At this time, he did not know the female form's name was Huo Yutong.)
Huo Yuhao suggested: "Let's clean up the dormitory first." The dust-covered room was very uncomfortable, and she intended to give it a thorough cleaning.
Ji Siyuan: "You clean it; I'll go down to buy bedding and other daily necessities. It just so happens that I still have some money left from selling the corpse of the Flame Demon Lion, enough to buy for both of us."
"Thank you." Huo Yuhao was a bit at a loss; she had no money and was very poor. After paying the tuition, even eating was a problem.
Now that Ji Siyuan was willing to buy things for her, she was truly satisfied.
"What are you thanking me for? We killed it together in the first place. It was also Bei Bei who gave it to us because he saw how pitiful we were. Come to think of it, I still owe you."
It must be said that Bei Bei was truly a good person, handing the money from selling the corpse to Ji Siyuan.
However, he was just saying that; if it really came to rewarding merit, Huo Yuhao truly couldn't compare to him.
The two poor souls had no qualifications to discuss merit rewards right now and could only prioritize the necessities first.
"Need to find a way to make money."
The child had it rough; he had come to the wrong space-time, and all of Tang San's advance preparations were scrapped.
There were subsidies for joining Shrek, but those were only for students.
Meeting Mu En again, that cluster of flames had already been extinguished by Mu En.
"Senior, have you seen how many students bowed to you? Is it more than just a moment ago?"
Mu En: "The base number is larger, so even if the pass rate is low, more people will go to the Inner Court. I understand the logic; rest assured, you won't be expelled."
"No, can't I change teachers?"
"No, it's perfect to let Zhou Yi torture you kid. Who told you to threaten me by setting my place on fire?"
"Fine, all that work for nothing."
Mu En smiled: "Not for nothing. If you become the champion of the freshman assessment, how about I give you a big gift?"
"What a big pie in the sky."
