The tall, handsome, black-haired, dark-eyed, calm and rational figure that appeared was in line with the students' hearsay and various rumors.
Time has not left any traces on this exorcist. I heard that he looked like this more than 20 years ago.
Amidst the hissing sound of the fire, the elder gatekeeper, who was staring at the figure from his glasses, raised his head and read out Lu Li's department.
"Mystery!"
Shouts and applause enveloped the entire church. The long table of the Mystery Department, which had the largest number of people, erupted in cheers that almost filled the auditorium.
At the professor's seat, Professor Hagrid clapped his hands red. Professor Cesar smiled and clapped as he recalled something. Professors from other departments were not stingy with their friendliness and welcome. Professor Chris, who was as tall, elegant and beautiful as a little giant, picked up the wine glass.
Indicate.
The gatekeeper elder who usually shouted "Quiet" at this time did nothing. When the cheers and applause died down, he signaled to Lu Li: "Please go to your academy, Mr. Lu Li."
Lu Li nodded to greet him and walked into the cheers.
Sitting in an empty seat, the students around me flushed with excitement. Before they excitedly spoke to each other,
Bang bang
The elder gatekeeper knocked the cane he was holding to restore silence to the auditorium.
"Before the dinner begins, please remember the three rules that must not be violated by the junior students."
"1. If you have any questions, please contact your prefect or professor. If you act without permission, your credits will be deducted."
"Two, don't leave this floor rashly. The lower floor is the area for the middle and upper grades and lower colleges. Unless you get a kind invitation."
"Three, swamps, filthy sewers, and strange dense forests are restricted areas. Entry is strictly prohibited without permission." The elder gatekeeper looked seriously at the junior students: "Don't waste your precious lives."
"Now, please ask the deputy dean, Professor Chris, to start the party."
The elder gatekeeper retreated to the edge, letting the students' eyes fall on Professor Chris in the center of the seat.
"There is one last thing before we start the party. Because most of you have your own unique talents and talents..." Vice-President Chris's narrow eyes swept across the table and paused on Lu Li: "... and
The choice of admission ceremony may prevent you from developing your talents. Within one month after admission, you are free to choose whether to transfer to another department."
"Now"
Light red nails tapped the wine glass, and the lingering sound echoed as Professor Chris opened her lips: "The party has begun."
The noise started and the students' attention returned to Lu Li and the food itself.
Except for a few new students who buried their faces in the dining table to eat, students from the mystery department and other departments all turned to stare at Lu Li.
"Lu... Mr. Lu Li, hello... you can call me Zuolun."
The students across the long table were trembling with excitement at seeing the big shot.
The girl next to him who was also a new student and was only thirteen or fourteen years old was relatively calm. Perhaps it was related to her gloominess. She stretched out her hand and said briefly: "Fudot Linsi."
"Lu Li."
Lu Li did not hold Fudot's extended left hand.
"Dog Meat!" A young man with a face full of food residue looked up from the pie bowl, stretched out his dirty and greasy hands to hold Fudot's white palm: "I don't have a name. They all call me Dog Meat because it doesn't taste good when I eat it."
It’s stressful.”
Fodort took out her palm in disgust and wiped the held palm with a handkerchief.
The young man suddenly pinched the black insect that crawled up from Fudot's palm and threw it into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it under her gloomy gaze. His eyes lit up: "It tastes good! Are there more!"
More students introduced by me stopped their conflicts, and Lu Li was quickly surrounded by questions.
"Is that your real name?"
"Don't answer! There are countless weirdos out there who want to know Mr. Exorcist's real name." A student from the alchemy department next door reminded Lu Li: "Don't tell anyone."
The most frequently asked question is whether it is true that Belfast has sunshine, and why he came to the Giant Tree Academy in the desolate land.
The dinner lasted for an hour, and for the students of the mystery department or students who were close to Lu Li, they felt that they had more than enough to enjoy.
Those further away feel sorry for themselves.
After the dinner, the junior students left one after another, and the new students were led by their prefects to their lounge.
The students in the first grade are not the same batch. New students arrive every two or three months to join the lower grades to ensure that fresh blood is replenished at any time.
Because of Lu Li's existence, everyone was well-behaved or wanted to express themselves.
"I heard from my brother that they hate gatekeepers." On the way to the lounge, a girl with short hair asked curiously.
"Don't get too close to the gatekeepers, they are dangerous," the prefect replied.
"Why?"
"The origins of the gatekeepers are complicated. Some are seniors after graduation, and some are hunters. I heard that gatekeepers in other grades have serious conflicts with students, even in lower-level colleges."
The prefect who revealed too much consciousness shut his mouth.
"What is the lower college?" Gorou asked. He was brought from the slums and didn't understand anything.
"It is a place to accommodate another group of students. Humans will be assigned to the upper college, while aliens and aliens will be assigned to the lower college."
"Can strangers also join the academy?" A young man asked in surprise.
"Why not? As long as they have reason and love peace."
If Psius and Ophelia were there, they would be assigned to the lower level.
The students had no questions for the time being, while the prefect continued to explain other rules: "To advance to higher grades, you need to accumulate credits. You can earn credits through exams, trials, performance and achievements until the conditions are met within one year."
"What will happen if I don't have enough credits?" a student asked.
"Leave the academy."
Many students woke up from the lingering warmth of the enjoyable dinner.
They thought of the glory of Giant Tree Academy, as well as its dangers and mortality...
The prefect then introduced the major courses to the new students: mystery class; alchemy class; plant class; history class; divination class, and the new language class.
There are also elective courses besides the major courses: wilderness survival class; weird knowledge class; otherworld study class; and combat skills class.
They serve as general courses for students to choose and supplement each other with major courses.
Strictly speaking, you can choose multiple major courses, but the course schedules usually conflict and you face heavy after-school homework and progress trials with serious consequences for failure.
Arriving at the outskirts of the rest area, the prefect assigned the students behind each treehouse-like twisted wooden door.
The mystery department only has a single-person lounge, the alchemy and divination departments can choose between multi-person or single-player, and other departments only have multi-person dormitories.
As expected, Lu Li was assigned to the best lounge. The exquisitely decorated treehouse even had a window.
If you open the wooden window, you will be able to see the star-like alchemy tower shining with light that pierces the original darkness. If it is the brightest noon, you will be able to overlook the dark outline of the Midnight City.
"Please have a good rest and go to the classroom on Qizuibaji Road tomorrow morning to start the mystery class."
The prefect left instructions and led the remaining students away.
