Background / History
Wei He attended Second High on School District Planet before enrolling at Red Earth Academy. Although he had never personally seen Wen Jing during their school years, he knew her reputation as a student whose strength overshadowed her peers. By the time of her academy enrollment, both he and Lu Cheng had successfully returned from an expedition into the Ancient Wilderness 13.
Winter Intake’s Arrival
Through a recently awakened junior, Wei He learned that the incoming winter students had encountered an Empire raid aboard their ship. Having also seen medical teams mobilize, he questioned whether the customary welcome party would still take place. Lu Cheng insisted that their intake deserved its chance to prank the next group; remembering his own treatment upon enrollment, Wei He clenched his fists in agreement 12.
When Wen Jing ran past them, Lu Cheng abruptly pulled Wei He aside and bowed his head toward the road. Wei He initially questioned whether Lu Cheng had identified her correctly, reasoning that someone of her reputation should have attended Mystic Radiance or Azure Jade instead. He contacted a junior and confirmed both her enrollment at Red Earth Academy and her F-rank potential—the same rank as his own 13.
Welcome Party
At the welcome party, Wei He noticed Wen Jing just before Lu Cheng did. Anticipating another embarrassing reflexive reaction from his friend, he quickly pinned Lu Cheng in place on the sofa to keep him from springing up 20.
Personality
Wei He is socially adept and well-connected. His friendship with Lu Cheng is unequal in strength and influence: Lu Cheng has E-rank potential and generally takes the lead, while Wei He is somewhat dependent on him. Nevertheless, Wei He’s information channels give him something Lu Cheng needs 12.
He freely teases Lu Cheng, rolling his eyes at his boasting and joking enviously about his dedication to climbing the tower. He is also attentive to his friend’s behavior, recognizing and attempting to prevent Lu Cheng’s involuntary response to Wen Jing at the welcome party 12 20.
