Just like the nearby surface. The upper grade is dark and cold, damp and gloomy, and the dark corridor is as complicated as an ant nest, like a maze that is difficult to get out of in a lifetime.
The gatekeeper stopped at the edge of the dim passage and retreated to the steps.
They won't get involved in the upperclassmen.
Lu Li withdrew his gaze and calmly looked towards Claire, who was waiting with an oil lamp in the corridor not far away.
"Are you sure you don't want to team up with me? The two of us can definitely overpower the senior class."
Along the labyrinth-like corridor, Lu Li followed Claire holding a flower pot. Full of energy, she was incompatible with her surroundings. Lu Li was the same, but this change from the breath could not be detected visually.
"I won't overstay my senior year."
Lu Li is essentially different from other students. He does not need to complete heavy studies, meet his teammates, or choose a mentor. His only purpose in coming to Giant Tree Academy is to learn to become the controller of the cursed title.
Claire, who had already received the results from her mother, regretted: "You will miss many interesting things and the top ten competition..."
In fact, Lu Li has missed a lot. It only took him two months to reach the senior year of the three-year Giant Tree Academy.
"Where is your luggage?"
"Part of it is given to the Holy Light Team, and part of it is sent back to the Land of Light by Merchant Anthony."
Lu Li, who was now wearing a cloak, was only holding a flowerpot with growing buds.
Since Lu Li had no intention of forming a team, Claire led him to the hunter, or loners' living area. Compared to the team's living area, this place was messier and worse.
Without gatekeeper management and order, it is difficult for undisciplined students who choose to be loners to actively maintain the environment.
The living area was like a tavern filled with drunkards and smokers, lively and chaotic. Claire looked for an uninhabited room for Lu Li. There were no windows inside, and it was as cramped as a hotel. Except for a bed and a desk, there was no room for anything in the wardrobe.
And it has not been cleaned up.
"A sequence potion to clean the room."
A figure approached Claire who was hesitating in front of the door and made an offer.
"No" Claire shut up in time and looked at Lu Li.
"Can."
The student who had attracted business approached happily. Soon, his expression became surprised, and he stared at the outline of the cloak that was full of comfort.
"Boy, remember the rules of the senior class and don't look around and pry for secrets."
Claire whispered threats.
The student came to his senses, entered the room, and took out the broom and clean mattress from his backpack with full preparation. Apparently, he had been working as a part-time cleaner for a long time.
It may seem incomprehensible that a senior student from Jushu Academy should work as a cleaner. They can easily get a well-paid job and an inner-city status without graduating from Jushu Academy. However, there is no way to clean the room outside.
Harvest a sequence potion.
The students neatly cleaned the garbage under the bed and cabinets, wiped off the dust on the table with a rag, and waited for the dust to settle before putting on new mattresses.
It only took a few minutes to clean the room. The student returned to the corridor and hung around Lu Li greedily. Before Lu Li paid the fee, he leaned over with respect and said, "It's free. It's my honor to clean your room for you."
"He seems to recognize you."
Watching the students go away, Chris entered the room to check carefully.
Because of Lu Li's identity, people naturally formed a prejudice against him.
Most of the time, prejudices and illusions are wrong, but here, some coincidence points the student to the correct answer.
When Lu Li put down the flower pot on the desk and put down his hood, Claire invited him, "Would you like to watch a performance prepared for you first?"
"Ready for me?"
…
It's like the abyss of the deep sea. Figures wearing cloaks and robes pass by in the corridor, holding fluorite or oil lamps in their hands, like ferocious fish that choose people to eat.
This atmosphere to some extent highlights the uniqueness of the solitary residential area: dark and solemn churches and lively and noisy pubs.
Pass through the arch along the looming crowd.
"We're here," Claire said.
In the center of the auditorium, a duel was going on, with dozens of students watching from the sidelines.
The opponent was not a student. The middle-aged man played like a cat and mouse with his opponent: a senior student.
"You forgot what to do."
The student who reached for his stomach stopped and thought about the forgotten things in confusion. It was not until his stomach closed and bit his palm that he woke up in pain.
"You forgot my identity."
New whispers echoed.
"Who are you?" The student who was slightly sober was as drunk as a drunkard, looking around blankly: "Why am I in the arena?"
"This is your home."
The arena seemed to be changing, familiar and warm. The student gradually relaxed his body and looked at the middle-aged man strangely: "Who are you...? Why are you in my home."
"I am your father."
The strange man in front of him gradually felt familiar to the student, and the family affection stemming from blood made him unable to help but be excited: "Father..."
Amid bursts of laughter from the sidelines, the middle-aged man waved his palms to disperse the obscure power of words. The student regained consciousness and showed his embarrassment.
Lu Li was able to recognize the source of power: the power of the blind and foolish god system, as well as the divination skills.
"A divination tutor...I can't name him. Divination is more sensitive to someone calling his name." Claire said at the arch on the edge of the arena.
In the duel field, the divination instructor looked around and said: "I am Aldous Berg, the divination instructor."
"Usually, students interact and compete here. The instructor's appearance can only be to recruit students. He is here for you."
The senior class has a unique tutor system. In addition to teaching as professors, tutors will also recruit students and let them serve as assistants or apprentices. Students gain experience and growth, while tutors can develop their own strengths.
As Claire said, Aldous Berg then began to make conditions for recruiting students.
Because the number of tutors is limited, and not all tutors like to teach students, many students who do not have tutors are willing to do so.
"But don't worry. You have already been marked as a mother. Anyone else who dares to recruit you will only get their heads blown off...unless you take the initiative to find a mentor."
Of course Lu Li would not do that. As the deputy dean, Professor Chris can be a shield and protect him from many troubles.
After leaving the duel arena, Claire sent Lu Li back to his room. He had no choice but to leave after his invitation was rejected again.
In the next few days, Lu Li focused on the room, gradually exploring outside, getting familiar with the life of a senior class, and getting used to the real world after Jushu Academy no longer sheltered him.
It is difficult for Lu Li to hide his identity. In other words, as long as you get close to him, you can feel the surging vitality, and then guess Lu Li's identity through "prejudice".
At the same time, Lu Li began to prepare for the final prerequisite: level 7 of Occultism.
Compared with the previous 6-level trials, the 7th-level trials exclusive to senior students are somewhat different.
