Late at night, the wind howled under a dark moon.
The Martial Academy campus was silent, save for the chirping of cicadas and insects.
Two figures crept into a dormitory building, crouching by the wall.
A spark of light flickered in the darkness, followed by a second.
"Hoo~ (exhales smoke)"
Two men squatted by the wall, smoking.
"Damn it! Staying up late to sneak around for a hundred Points, what a pain in the ass!"
The skinny man grumbled.
The other, round-faced man sighed, "There's no choice. If we don't earn some Points soon, we'll be eating pig slop. Do you want to eat pig slop?"
The skinny man's face stiffened, then he said quietly, "I've already been eating it for three days."
The round-faced man: "..."
"But aren't we being too cautious? Aren't they just a few Special Enrollment Students? I heard they aren't even Tier 2."
The round-faced man shook his head, "Don't underestimate them. Can someone who passed the assessment be ordinary?"
The skinny man took a deep drag of his cigarette, inhaled it fully, and slowly exhaled, "Scared of what! No matter how high their talent, they're still rookies. I've been in the second year for two years, why would I be afraid of a few newbies?"
"Let's go! Let's finish up quickly so we can get some sleep."
After stubbing out his cigarette, the skinny man was the first to enter the dormitory.
The round-faced man followed closely behind.
Unbeknownst to them, directly above them, a figure stood ghost-like on the windowsill, calmly watching their every move.
As they entered the dormitory, the figure vanished into the darkness.
After the two seniors entered the dormitory, they purposefully went to a door. There was student information on it; it was Fang Bai's room.
Just then, the skinny man suddenly said, "Something's not right!"
The round-faced man narrowed his eyes, "Were we discovered?"
The skinny man didn't reply, but instead kicked the door open!
The moment the door opened, a basin of water was dumped from above!
The skinny man raised an eyebrow, "Looks like we were discovered, but this is undoubtedly child's play."
Saying that, he calmly walked into the room.
"Fire in the hole!"
"Here's a fresh turd for you!"
An excited voice rang out.
The skinny man, who had just stepped one foot inside, changed his expression upon hearing this. He instantly pulled his foot back and quickly crouched down!
An unknown object splattered against the wall!
The round-faced man glanced at it subconsciously and, seeing it was just mud, breathed a sigh of relief.
The doors of four rooms opened simultaneously, and Fang Bai and the others emerged.
Qi Tian's lips curved into a smile, "Old Bai really guessed right. Someone was indeed trying to sneak an attack!"
The skinny man exclaimed in surprise, "You knew we were coming?"
Qi Tian shrugged, "Didn't know! But given the Martial Academy's usual behavior, they wouldn't let us have it easy."
The round-faced man gave a thumbs-up, "Not bad, not bad. You guys are quite vigilant."
Fang Bai asked, "What's your mission?"
The skinny man grinned, "Nothing much, just to beat you up."
The round-faced man muttered, "Four people, that should be four hundred Points."
Points?
Fang Bai seemed to guess something, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, "You guys are taking missions to beat us up, and you get Points for it?"
The skinny man nodded, "Yes, there are many missions in the Martial Academy, all sorts of them, bizarre and varied, but the Points are very tempting."
Fang Bai nodded.
"Alright, the chat is over. Since you found us, let's just fight."
He had originally planned to sneak attack and finish early, but he didn't expect these guys to have some skills.
Fang Bai flashed a strange smile, "You two, fighting us four?"
The round-faced man chuckled, "More numbers don't necessarily mean stronger. We're both Tier 2!"
As he spoke, he released his Exotic Energy.
Zzzt~
Lightning power swirled around his body, the special effects maxed out.
A Tier 2 Lightning Element user!
Fang Bai was a little surprised, not expecting the other party to be a Lightning Element user like himself.
However, the other party's Exotic Energy was much more abundant than his own.
The slender man also released his Exotic Energy, his body engulfed in flames, like a warrior from hell.
A Fire Element Tier 2 user!
Just then, a door not far away opened, and a girl poked her head out, saying with a grin, "Can you guys not fight here? You're disturbing my sleep."
As soon as she spoke, the two senior students immediately retracted their Exotic Energy, revealing a simple and honest smile, and bowed to the girl, "Sorry, sorry, Senior Qiu, we didn't know you were resting."
The girl smiled sweetly, "It's fine, just don't do it again next time."
After speaking, she glanced at Fang Bai and the others before closing the door.
Fang Bai and the others had strange expressions on their faces.
Fang Bai asked curiously, "Who is that beautiful lady?"
The slender man breathed a sigh of relief and then replied, "She's a senior from the third year."
Third year!
Fang Bai was a little surprised, he didn't expect there to be a third-year student on their floor!
The slender man chuckled, "Let's go outside to fight."
One minute later, Fang Bai and the other three surrounded the two senior students.
"Let me introduce myself, the one beating you up tonight is Hu Wei, from Class 2 of the Fire Element in the second year."
The slender man said with a smile.
The round-faced man followed up immediately, "I'm Lu Fei, from Class 2 of the Lightning Element."
In the Martial Academy, each element was divided into classes. Normally, there would be three classes for each element, and if there were few people, they would be combined into one class.
Fang Bai and the others had not yet been assigned; they had to undergo theoretical assessments before being assigned to specific classes.
Qi Tian's lips curled up, "This young master has no interest in listening to your self-introductions, because this young master doesn't want to remember the names of his defeated opponents!"
"Oh? You're quite arrogant!"
Hu Wei looked at Qi Tian.
The latter sneered and immediately released his Exotic Energy!
Also Tier 2!
This surprised both of them.
"I didn't expect you to be Tier 2, interesting. However, you're only at the early stage of Tier 2, while we are at the middle stage of Tier 2!"
Qi Tian flipped his bangs, confidently saying, "That's enough to deal with you! In front of this young master, enemies either flee in terror or are utterly defeated!"
Just as Hu Wei was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and his head instinctively tilted!
A whip kick swept past his ear. If he hadn't dodged, he would have likely suffered a concussion!
Failing to land the hit, A Xiu quickly retreated several meters!
Hu Wei exclaimed in surprise, "Good teamwork, you actually managed to distract me."
Qi Tian wasn't just spouting empty threats; he was buying time for his teammate to launch a sneak attack.
Lu Fei assumed a fighting stance and said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you? These newcomers aren't simple. If we're not careful, we'll capsize in the gutter."
If they couldn't even defeat a few newcomers, they would probably be laughed to death by others.
Fang Bai and the others also released their Exotic Energy one after another.
As for their injuries from earlier in the day, Qi Tian had already treated them in the afternoon!
They were now fully revived!
"Shall we start?"
