Shrek Academy's dormitory building is a tenement-style building, with a long corridor connecting many rooms.
Walking inside, one can see many signs of age, indicating how old the building is.
The first three floors are the boys' dormitory area. Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao didn't linger, going straight up the stairs to the fourth floor.
"403... This is it!" Xiao Xiao took out the key she received during registration, opened the dormitory door, and was immediately hit by a cloud of dust, startling her.
Wang Dong'er also frowned and turned away.
"Pfft, cough cough, this dormitory building hasn't been cleaned for at least a month or two!" Xiao Xiao coughed twice, complaining to Wang Dong'er.
"Stop complaining, hurry up and clean it up." Wang Dong'er took out a bunch of cleaning tools from her storage soul tool.
"Xiao Xiao, you don't want us to be unable to sleep at night, do you?"
"Uh... that sounds so strange..." Xiao Xiao complained. "By the way, why do you carry cleaning tools with you?!" "
I'm a germaphobe, is that a problem?"
Wang Dong'er handed a broom to Xiao Xiao.
"Hurry up and get to work, this is for your own sake."
"It's not like it's not for you."
Xiao Xiao stuck out her tongue, but didn't argue, took the broom and started cleaning.
Wang Dong'er opened the window to ventilate the room, carefully observing Xiao Xiao, and found that she was actually quite good at cleaning.
Although she was a little rusty, she wasn't the type who had never lifted a finger.
The new life seemed to be starting well, Wang Dong'er smiled slightly and started cleaning as well.
In her previous life, because she lived alone, Wang Dong'er had done a lot of cooking and cleaning, so she was very good at it, which Xiao Xiao found to be abnormal.
"Dong'er, you look like you come from a wealthy family, yet you're so skilled?"
"It's alright, you'll be just as skilled in the future."
"By the way, we haven't checked the class assignments yet," Xiao Xiao said. "Shall we go take a look together after dinner?"
Wang Dong'er knew what kind of teacher they were about to face.
Zhou Yi, although it wasn't really a fair comparison, if you had to put it simply, he was like a master from the Douluo Continent II: The Ultimate Phantom Troupe.
After cleaning their dormitory rooms, the two of them went to the cafeteria area behind the dormitory area.
Shrek Academy's cafeterias were also divided by grade, and students of each grade could only eat in the cafeteria corresponding to their grade.
Entering the freshman cafeteria, Xiao Xiao opened her mouth, speechless.
"What a lousy cafeteria! Why don't they even provide a table and chairs?"
Not only Xiao Xiao, but most of the other freshmen who entered the cafeteria also had some complaints.
These people, without exception, were all from at least minor noble families, accustomed to a life of luxury.
They could tolerate not having servants, but now, the canteen didn't even have tables and chairs, which was naturally unbearable.
Moreover, there were signs at the canteen entrance prohibiting the removal of food from the premises.
In Wang Dong'er's memory, this scene resembled some addiction treatment schools.
The canteen had eight serving windows, with most people crowding into the middle ones.
This was because the leftmost windows offered the most expensive food, affordable only to wealthy noble children, while the rightmost windows offered the cheapest food, chosen only by the poorest commoners.
The new students' backgrounds were quite obvious, so naturally, none of them ate at the rightmost window.
Wang Dong'er led Xiao Xiao directly to the leftmost window, the most expensive one.
The food here started at gold soul coins, and the most basic ingredients were from soul beasts at least a hundred years old—a clear case of getting what you pay for.
"So expensive." Xiao Xiao stuck out her tongue. "I'm really benefiting from your generosity this time, Miss. You're really rich."
Well, it's all Haotian Sect's money anyway, so she might as well spend it before she's exposed.
Although there were no tables and chairs in the cafeteria, Wang Dong'er had some in her storage soul tool.
After all, others didn't know this, but she still remembered it and had prepared a set of tables and chairs for eating.
Thanks to her status as the young sect leader, everything she had was the best, even the internal space of this storage soul tool was enormous.
When the other students saw Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao set up tables and chairs on the spot, they looked at each other in surprise, while some seemed inspired and decided to buy a table and chairs immediately after finishing their meal.
"Hey, have you heard?
It's said that the homeroom teacher of Class 1 of the freshmen is a perverted old woman!"
Just as the two were slowly eating, the discussion of several students next to them came over.
"Class 1 of the freshmen?
I think that's our class?" Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong'er.
Wang Dong'er nodded.
"Oh, does that mean we might run into a perverted teacher?"
Xiao Xiao said, pricking up her ears to listen carefully to the discussion among the students around her.
"Tell us more about the homeroom teacher of Class 1, the freshmen."
A student who seemed to have been assigned to Class 1 asked anxiously.
"I was assigned to Class 1, so please don't let anything happen to me."
"Ahem." The student who started the conversation coughed and said, "It's said that her name is Zhou Yi.
Because the senior students in the third year repeatedly reported her to the academy, she was demoted to teach freshmen."
"Huh? Reported by the senior students in the third year? What exactly did she do?"
"I'm not too sure about that, but it seems like she's too strict..."
"Can being strict really lead to a joint report?
I have a rumor that she uses her position as a teacher at Shrek Academy to arbitrarily expel students.
If they don't do what she wants, they're expelled!"
After listening for a while, Xiao Xiao became worried and even lost her appetite.
She had put in a lot of effort to get into Shrek Academy, and if she got expelled…
"Dong'er, do you think what they said is true?"
Wang Dong'er remained noncommittal.
"If she really expelled me, that would be a good thing."
"Eh? Why do you say that?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously.
"Well… you'll find out later." Wang Dong'er didn't mention that she wanted to go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but Xiao Xiao wasn't satisfied with this answer and immediately grabbed Wang Dong'er's arm and shook it.
"Okay, Dong'er, just tell me."
"If you really want to know, I'll tell you when we go to sleep tonight."
There are only a limited number of twin martial souls in the entire original novel, and everyone who knows them understands their potential.
Even if it doesn't make Xiao Xiao "abandon darkness for light," just seeing a little of Shrek Academy's true nature would be more advantageous for Wang Dong'er in dealing with Tang San in the future.
She never believed that the Shrek Academy's management were a group capable of opposing Tang San; after all, their methods were all consistent.
