Today is the first day of school at No. 72 Phoenix Ridge Cultivation High School.
Better yet, it was the first day of school for all Cultivation academies across the country.
Tianxu nation had always held up their standards regarding the school's traditions and their order. Thousands of years in cultivation heritage are not only for the talk. School attendance, morning classes, dismissal times, tests... all of these were held up high during the founding.
As for the school uniform, it had been sent to Jin Luo's house via space shipment.
The blue and gold silked uniforms had a large "美学" (prodigy) printed on the back as well as the school's logo.
He had already made mental suffice, but the style of this uniform made him gasp.
He understands the principals.
With thousands of years of cultural heritage, it's only natural for you to adapt national culture... But what the hell is that "美学" on the back?! It looked like those uniforms you'd see in those magic and spell novels.
Besides that, they clearly took inspiration from death row inmates' uniforms before they got executed— Is that supposed to mean something!?
Moreover, there are some areas for them to improve though... the space storage pockets were convenient, since Jin Luo could carry as many custard bun snacks as he wanted. They were practically bottomless, as the general clearly utilised the protocol from the Tianxu National Uniform Alliance.
Starting from the Jin Family's small surburban zone, which was 20,000 miles away from No. 72 Phoenix Ridge. Jin Luo essentially turned into the breeze, running though the country streets and neighbourhoods as he reached his destination in under five minutes.
After all, he had done light sprints like these in his childhood for fun. A mere 20,000 miles had nothing on him, and he didn't even blush or was out of breath.
Director Qi from the Education Department as well as seven other leaders came to welcome students.
Jin Luo overheard a conversation they were having.
"Hey... Have you heard about that freshman that recieved an SSS+ ranking yesterday?"
"I haven't. What was his name?" Rui Hanchen was interested.
"His name is Jin Luo and he has been assigned to the Prodigy class."
"I see... he has a lot of potential then."
Rui Hanchen's eyes lit up. "Hey! Our 72 had always had the balances between the genders in hand. It seems that the the whole dominant females are entirely disposed!"
"Director is wise indeed!"
"But I like dominate females...."
Rui Hanchen and the six other leaders: "...."
Jin Luo: "..."
After straightening his uniform, Jin Luo calmly walked past the gate; his Grand Morphing Technique was activated. It was simple: even as he was running to No. 72 Phoenix Ridge, he had already performed the Grand Morphing Technique, one of the Four Thousand Heavenly Arts and Spells.
The biggest difference, was that compared to other disguising spells— this one was immensely powerful. It could even go as far as changing ones DNA, fingerprints, and even gene structure. The most advanced Scientific softwares wouldn't detect it.
On the flip side, the ancient arts of disguising all those years ago could still be detected by softwares and would sound the alarm bell instantaneously.
In this way, Jin Luo successfully passed the school gate and had made it onto the grounds. He felt that it was better this way.
All the cheers and applauses were annoying to Jin Luo.
Since he was a child, Jin Luo had always wanted peace of mind. Sometimes, he does get that wish— but ultimately, it immediately gets crushed as he goes outside.
As the saying goes, when God closes a door, the window would also open.
In Jin Luo's case, not only is the window wide open, but there is f**king hurricane outside!
...
...
Year One of Class 5 is located at the second floor of the main building next to the Education Department at No. 72 Phoenix Ridge.
From a topographical perspective, the front door led to the girl's bathroom and the back door led to the boys'. This classroom was the only ones closest to the canteen. Every time the bell rang for lunch, you would see a bunch of students, utensils raised high, sprinting to the cafeteria.
Schools today are much more different than before. Less courses are offered but class hours are extensive, strictly adhering to the current trends of the cultivation era. Things like drawing spirit talismans, making spiritual spring water, longevity elixirs... these things alone would occupy Jin Luo's first year.
The first year of high school were only just to lay the foundation. Although Jin Luo had already mastered all of these in the womb, he still had act like he didn't understand, attend classes, and do everything he can to not fail tests.
Exactly. Jin Luo calculated the average score across all subjects and he aimed for that score specifically.
Whenever Jin Luo thought about this, he felt extremely disheartened.
Making friends had always been his weak spot. From kindergarten to middle school, he hadn't had the desire to make companions. No. 72's Phoenix Ridge Prodigy class is divided into two classrooms of 20 students.
After a morning class of getting to know eachother better, the students became more or less familiar with one another. And the following others left a deep impression on Jin Luo.
First, we have our Psychiatrist and Science Representative, Han Ye. In the late Foundation stage, his ancestors ran a beast shop, which further expanded into a soul beast enterprise by Han Ye's great-grandfather's era. He is a honest individual and has a pet owl named Dandan, sometimes as playful duos, or just criticism. He is known as the gossip king in class.
Secondly, we have Lin Qian, who was elected as class president by an unanimous vote. The young lady and heir to the Qiaonghua Star River Company, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator— she prides herself as being the standard for beauty. Although deep inside, there was enough drama in her heart to create an entire 1 hour and 57 second movie that Tianxu nation had never witnessed before. Jin Luo thought that it would be a country hit to be honest— but even so, Jin Luo kept his distance...
Third on the list, was Zhou Hao, the sports committee leader. He is also at the late Foundation stage, and is from the ancient Zhou family whom excelled in martial arts. He speaks with a fluent Beijing accent. He is also muscular and is as energetic as a virgin...
These three people are the ones Jin Luo had decided to be careful around.
In class, bursts of laughter could be heard as everyone engaged in chatter. Jin Luo glanced around at the noisy environment and sighed. This is just the first day, what could go wrong?
After checking what time it was on the advanced clock, Jin Luo took out a copy of "Spare Me, Great Lord" and placed it on his desk.
Coincidentally, the bell happened to ring at that moment.
Less than a second later, a middle-aged woman with blue streaked hair, pink-rimmed glasses and a ponytail walked in the classroom and slammed her hand on the roster with a bang. "Silence! What is this! I heard you all from my office! Mind you, you all are the prodigies of the school, how noisy could you be?!"
This middle-aged woman was Shen Huining... what could possibly go wrong?
