WTYTIAAN Chapter 107

Yan Yunqing had no objections, and neither did Divick.

Penelope led him and Divick into the study where Allison had previously searched for the magic crystal. Unlike Yan Yunqing’s last visit, it was now spotlessly clean, and even the cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling had been swept away.

Now Yan Yunqing understood. Allison definitely wasn’t the one with the obsessive-compulsive cleaning disorder. The only one who could force Allison to clean this place so thoroughly was her sister, Penelope.

So it was because Penelope had returned that the place had become so clean! Was this the suppression that came from blood ties?

After the door completely isolated them from the outside sounds, Penelope once again bowed to Yan Yunqing, “Senior Nolan, please forgive my previous impoliteness.”

Her attitude shifted to respect, and she even used the name he had used during his time as the Demon King. Yan Yunqing knew that Merlin must have told Penelope about his coming to Sigrid Academy.

Didn’t we agree not to arrange things randomly?

Yan Yunqing sighed, “Merlin told you?”

Penelope straightened up, the smile on her lips still present. Yan Yunqing inexplicably sensed a kind feeling, but Penelope’s attitude towards him was so respectful, which made Yan Yunqing feel a bit uncomfortable.

“He did mention something, but Senior Merlin only said that he had a friend coming to Sigrid and asked me to take care of him and help you open the highest access level at Sigrid.”

Yan Yunqing was surprised. She recognized him with just that information?

Penelope seemed to sense his surprise, “Senior Merlin doesn’t have many friends, and even fewer people he can still contact. I guessed that it might be those friends you knew in the past.”

“As for why I recognized you…” Penelope said with a smile, “Your features are still very distinctive. I already knew that you were a friend of Senior Merlin, so it’s not surprising that I recognized you.”

“You have left behind many legends in historical records. What’s more, with His Highness behind you, I believe that the only people who could have Lord Divick by their side are you and Senior Isabel.”

Yan Yunqing coughed lightly, feeling a little unaccustomed to Penelope treating him with such an attitude, “Even so, most people wouldn’t think of that identity, right?”

After all, the Demon King had become a historical figure, and even if there were speculations after disappearing for over a thousand years, the first reaction would be doubt.

Penelope covered her mouth and chuckled, “Yes, that’s true, so I only called out your name just now as a test. I didn’t expect you to actually admit it. I thought that even if you were him, you would at least try to hide it.”

Yan Yunqing:?

Good heavens, that “Senior Nolan” was just a trick to get him to reveal his identity? He figured that Merlin wouldn’t directly tell outsiders his identity. After all, the identity of the Demon King was still very sensitive. At Yan Yunqing’s current level, revealing the identity of the Demon King would only put him in danger.

Not to mention the Demon King’s former subordinates, even Romunike and Bato Vita, who took advantage of the Demon King’s disappearance to destroy the Yonghe Empire, wouldn’t be happy to see the Demon King reappear in the world.

Merlin wouldn’t have failed to consider this, and Yan Yunqing had been wondering about it before. Now he understood.

This Penelope was indeed a very intelligent and bold person.

“However, I also have a little personal motive.”

“Actually, my sister Allison and I are both your loyal followers. The reason why I tentatively called out your name was because I was too surprised.” Penelope bowed again, “Please forgive my impoliteness.”

“…Followers?”

Yan Yunqing subconsciously opened the NPC friend panel, and sure enough, Penelope’s name was added to the panel, with a favorability rating—as high as 89!

Divick’s favorability was only 99, and Penelope, whom he had never met before, had a favorability of 89 towards him? That favorability could indeed be called a follower.

“Yes, the ancestors of my sister and I were Zephyra. If we were to be strict about it, we should also be your subordinates.”

Yan Yunqing was truly stunned, “Zephyra?”

He looked at Penelope, but couldn’t see any trace of Zephyra on her.

Zephyra, also known as the Phantom Spirit, was a type of elemental spirit born from human faith. Unlike Sylphs, Zephyra had no physical form and usually appeared as a cloud of gas or wind.

People, who were suffering from the Divine War, begged for the gods’ forgiveness, but they didn’t receive the gods’ pity. However, Zephyra was born due to the intense emotions.

Zephyra was born from human faith, so it protected these humans. In a sense, Zephyra was actually half a god and was a very special race.

In the later stages of the increasingly fierce war, the newly born Zephyra had limited abilities and couldn’t protect the humans who believed in it. So, it approached the Demon King, wanting to sign a subordinate contract with the Demon King and transfer the humans it protected to the Demon King’s protection.

At the time, Yan Yunqing disliked the Phantom Spirit’s lack of combat power and that it would waste one of his subordinate slots, so he didn’t agree to this. However, he did allow the humans protected by the Phantom Spirit to join the Demon King’s protection.

Which player of a base-building game would dislike having more cannon fodder… no, more people in their camp? Anyway, he had enough food. If he didn’t have enough, he would just go out and fight or farm himself. There were never too many people.

So, Zephyra joined the Demon King’s camp, but it didn’t sign a contract with the Demon King. It could be considered one of the Demon King’s subordinates in name only.

It could barely be said to be one of the Demon King’s subordinates.

But the Penelope in front of him… how could she be Zephyra? Zephyra was a pure elemental life form, how could it turn into a human? Had Zephyra evolved after a thousand years?

Yan Yunqing was a bit strange, but he didn’t directly ask about it. What if she was a mixed-blood born from Zephyra and a human? In this world, the status of mixed-bloods was very awkward, even shameful. Yan Yunqing wasn’t so low-EQ that he would directly ask, “Are you a mixed-blood?”

The main reason was that he couldn’t figure out how a pure elemental life form, a gust of wind, could have children with a human.

So weird, really weird.

Yan Yunqing touched his nose. Penelope was very thoughtful and saw his discomfort, so she didn’t continue with this topic and changed it, “It seems like we’ve wasted too much time. Senior Merlin said you wanted to see the emerging disciplines in recent years?”

“Although Senior Merlin instructed me to give you the highest access, as a student, even with the highest access, there will still be some restrictions.”

Penelope said, “Can I directly register you as the acting principal?”

Yan Yunqing:?

Yan Yunqing:???

Yan Yunqing was dumbfounded. Merlin was still too conservative, only saying to let him be a teacher and give him teacher access. Now, Penelope had gone directly to the top, supporting him to be the regent. She was only one step away from directly usurping the throne.

“That won’t be necessary, right?” Yan Yunqing was startled, “Didn’t I already pass the entrance exam through recommendation? I remember Ms. Allison said before that students who enter through recommendation have very high access. There’s no need for a principal or anything.”

Penelope frowned, “But with your identity…”

Yan Yunqing: No, he didn’t have any identity!

Yan Yunqing held his fist to his lips and coughed lightly twice, “No, I’m just an ordinary baron’s son. I don’t have any identity.”

Penelope paused, understood Yan Yunqing’s meaning, hesitated for a while, and finally agreed, “Then let’s follow Senior Merlin’s intention and open the teacher access for you.”

Seeing that Yan Yunqing still wanted to refuse, Penelope quickly said, “It won’t be announced to the public. You’ll still be a student at the academy, so don’t worry.”

Seemed okay?

Yan Yunqing thought about it and felt that there didn’t seem to be much difference, so he finally agreed.

“Then I’ll register your identity. Next, I’ll arrange for a student to show you around the campus, okay?” Penelope asked, and then said, “Of course, if you don’t mind, I can also accompany you to familiarize yourself with this place.”

“No need, no need.” Yan Yunqing refused repeatedly.

Being led around the academy by the principal? Let alone tomorrow, his name would appear in all the students’ discussions today, and his future for the entire year wouldn’t be peaceful.

He still preferred to quietly take advantage of the situation.

Penelope was a little disappointed, but she still completed all the procedures for Yan Yunqing. When Yan Yunqing left, he passed by the principal’s office and saw Allison and Walkley buried in sorting out the messy documents.

Yan Yunqing clicked his tongue. If he had accepted the authority of the acting principal just now, wouldn’t he have to stay here every day to deal with all sorts of messy documents?

*

Divick was chased away by Yan Yunqing.

The student that Penelope found for him to guide him was also someone Yan Yunqing knew, the Senior Lin Nuo he had met when he first arrived at Sigrid Academy.

“Xavier?” Lin Nuo was very surprised, “We meet again! Did you successfully pass the entrance exam?”

“Yes, I was lucky.” Yan Yunqing replied.

“It can’t be said to be luck at all.” Lin Nuo exclaimed, “I didn’t even know there was such a thing as entering through recommendation before. Later, I went to inquire about it and learned that people who can enter Sigrid Academy through recommendation have all become powerful figures.”

“I was a little worried about you before.”

Lin Nuo smiled and said, “But now it seems that you originally had the strength to pass the exam. It was just that I was worried too much.”

Lin Nuo led him along, introducing him along the way, “That’s the teaching building over there… Well, it’s a bit late for you to enroll now. Most of the popular elective courses are already full, but your badge is dark gold, so you should have the qualification to choose courses at will.”

As he spoke, Lin Nuo pointed to the badge on his chest, and the badge on Yan Yunqing’s chest. The badges of the two were roughly the same, from color to shape. The only difference was that Lin Nuo’s badge had three stars, while Yan Yunqing only had one.

“The dark gold badge is more special. It’s only given to the top student in each grade, or to someone who has made great contributions to Sigrid and has been awarded a special commendation.”

“But that’s the previous saying. The academy hasn’t had a student who successfully entered through recommendation for many years. I didn’t know before that those who entered through recommendation also had dark gold badges. It seems that my information library needs to be updated.”

Lin Nuo added, “This badge has many special privileges in the academy. For example, for elective courses that are already full, people with dark gold badges can ignore this condition and join directly. So you can also enter those elective courses that are already full, but I don’t really recommend it.”

Seeing Yan Yunqing curiously looking at him, Lin Nuo organized his words before saying, “Well, some of Sigrid’s elective courses are more profound in content, and the teachers who teach them also have some strange tempers. If you rashly join in the middle, you may not understand the content that has already been taught, which may lead to failing at the end of the year.”

“Once you fail, the title of top student may not be guaranteed – oh, right, you didn’t get the badge because of the top student. In that case, I don’t know if your privileges will be reduced if you fail.”

No need to worry about that.

Yan Yunqing thought to himself: He almost became the acting principal, how could his privileges be taken back just because he failed a few subjects?

However, Lin Nuo was still genuinely worried about Yan Yunqing.

Yan Yunqing: “It’s okay, it shouldn’t happen.” He had a backer.

Young man, you know nothing of the dangers of society. JPG

“Is that so.” Lin Nuo thought for a while and still advised, “Although I know you’re very confident, some teachers in the academy are very strict in class. You’d better master the main course content first. If you can’t keep up with the progress, it will be a bit difficult.”

“Of course, you can also come and ask me if you have any questions. I’ll take you to get a ‘Special Messenger’ first. With this thing, as long as you’re in Sigrid or Bouma City, you can contact people who have added you as Special Messenger friends.”

Lin Nuo took out a palm-sized token from his pocket and showed it to Yan Yunqing, “This is it, but this is personally bound, so others can’t use it. You’ll know how magical it is when you get it.”

“Is this also an alchemical item? Is it powered by magic?” Yan Yunqing curiously looked at the badge in Lin Nuo’s hand. A magic circle was engraved on the back, and the pattern was complex. Yan Yunqing didn’t know much about this and couldn’t recognize what magic circle it was.

But isn’t this function just a portable phone?

“Yes, haven’t you seen these outside?” Lin Nuo said, “You’ll get used to it after staying in Sigrid for a long time. New and interesting things pop up here from time to time, all made by those alchemy teachers and students. Some things are really convenient.”

“Well… I haven’t really seen them before.” Yan Yunqing exclaimed again at how skewed the tech tree was.

Lin Nuo took Yan Yunqing to register as a new student, and by the way, to collect the dormitory key and the small badge called Special Messenger.

“New student?” The teacher who registered Yan Yunqing sized him up and muttered, “There are still unregistered new students at this time? This school year is almost halfway over, right?”

He operated a few times before opening his mouth in surprise: “Huh… Recommended admission?”

The teacher looked up at Yan Yunqing again, “I see, you’re the student who came to participate in the recommended admission assessment before. What was your name again?”

“Xavier.” Lin Nuo answered for Yan Yunqing, a little curious, “Teacher, have you also heard about Xavier participating in the admission assessment?”

The teacher continued to register, “Yes, I heard a bit. It’s been many years since there was a student who came with a letter of recommendation, let alone… cough, never mind.”

He seemed to realize that he had said too much, and quickly stopped talking, speeding up the process of registering Yan Yunqing’s identity, “Give me your badge.”

Yan Yunqing handed over the badge he had gotten from Penelope.

The teacher operated to record the information on the badge, and muttered, “Dormitory ah, there aren’t many empty dormitories now, uh, according to the recommended student’s specifications…”

“Ah, found it.”

The teacher took out a simplified map of the college, pointing to a few areas on it, “The treatment for recommended students is the same as for top students. The dormitories are three-story small villas for two people, but now at least one person lives in each building in that area, and there are no empty dormitories for the time being, so you have to choose a roommate.”

As he spoke, the teacher placed the few extracted documents in front of Yan Yunqing.

Yan Yunqing glanced at Lin Nuo. His badge was the same as his own, so Lin Nuo should also be a top student. It would be best to live with someone he knew, “Senior, do you have a roommate?”

Lin Nuo showed an apologetic smile, “Ah, sorry, I already have a roommate.”

Yan Yunqing nodded. Then there was no way. He picked up those student documents and casually flipped through them, selecting one, “Then let’s go with this one.”

Lin Nuo turned his head to take a look and exclaimed in surprise.

Yan Yunqing paused, “Is there something wrong with him?”

Lin Nuo hesitated: “Uh, it’s not a big problem.”

The teacher took the information and exclaimed, “Demetrius? He ah, he’s pretty good, strong, and also a first-year student who just enrolled. He was able to sit in the top student’s position in his first year of enrollment, so he’s a formidable one.”

Yan Yunqing:?

Then why do you two have such exaggerated expressions?

Lin Nuo coughed lightly twice, vaguely saying, “It’s not a serious problem, it’s just that this junior is not very easy to get along with. His personality is a bit strange, so you have to be prepared if you become roommates with him.”

Yan Yunqing hesitated, thinking about whether he should change roommates, and heard the teacher say, “Ah, this dormitory condition is also good. It was just renovated once, and I heard that a training room was installed in the dormitory? Let me see… Oh, this is the only building left with a place in the newly renovated batch of dormitories.”

Yan Yunqing directly made the decision: “Then let’s go with this one.”

Just kidding, which student could refuse a newly renovated dormitory?

Even if the roommate was a bit weird, the dormitory was very big, and each person used a floor, so they might not even see each other a few times a day.

Lin Nuo stopped talking, and didn’t say anything more after Yan Yunqing made his decision.

Yan Yunqing received the dormitory key and the Special Messenger. Lin Nuo taught him how to bind the Special Messenger, and by the way, added each other as Special Messenger friends, and agreed to take him to stroll around the academy properly after he had settled down, before leaving first.

The Special Messenger’s functions were very complete, and even had a map of the academy. Each building was labeled with what it was used for, so Yan Yunqing didn’t need to study his small map.

Directly according to the location provided on the Special Messenger, he reached out and stopped a deserted Little White, and got on the campus “bus”.

Taking this kind of transportation required a certain amount of points, but not to mention his high amount of points he got just for entering as a recommendation student, could Yan Yunqing lack points with his identity? Penelope opened the back door for him in advance when she gave him the badge, and put Yan Yunqing’s account on the principal’s account.

In other words, Yan Yunqing was now equal to having a black card that wouldn’t explode no matter how much he swiped, but at this moment he hadn’t realized this yet.

The dormitory area was located in the southwest direction of Sigrid. Little White’s autonomous driving wasn’t slow, and it could be described as recklessly crashing around the school. Yan Yunqing was restless, afraid of hitting someone in the next second.

Fortunately, Little White had a specific driving area, and the passing students wouldn’t be hit by Little White.

When Yan Yunqing got out of the car, his legs were a little weak. He had ridden dragons, but he didn’t expect a flying car to scare him.

Seeing Yan Yunqing get off the car, a person in a student mage robe next to him couldn’t help but say: “Dude, how dare you ride 44? That Little White is known for being violent and liking to run around. Last time, it threw a senior who was riding it, causing the senior to have to recover for several days.”

44?

Yan Yunqing turned his head to look, and realized that Little White had an obvious number on its butt and head. The Little White he had just ridden had 44 written on its butt.

“…Do Little Whites with different numbers have different personalities?”

The student strangely glanced at Yan Yunqing: “Are you a new student? You’ve been at the academy for so long and you don’t know that Little Whites in the academy have different styles? Like 6, 29, and 33, those are Little Whites with especially gentle personalities. 11, 14, and 22 are Little Whites that drive steadily and quickly.”

Yan Yunqing: …He really didn’t know.

No wonder he hadn’t experienced the feeling of lightning speed when he rode Little White several times before. It turned out that Teacher Walkley and Lin Nuo had deliberately chosen Little Whites with better personalities for him.

“I’m enlightened.” Yan Yunqing looked suddenly enlightened, “This is the first time I’ve heard of this.”

The student strangely sized up Yan Yunqing: Where did this savage come from?

His gaze landed on the dark gold badge pinned on his chest, and his expression changed again: I’m going, dark gold badge?

Top student or honors student? Excuse me, excuse me, it’s actually a big shot!

Yan Yunqing discovered that the other party’s expression was changing back and forth, with the colorful and mottled colors seemed to be acting out some comedic silent film. He was a little puzzled as he bid farewell: “Then I’ll go back first…”

Before he finished speaking, the student in front of him slid and knelt down in front of him, presenting his Special Messenger, “Big brother, can I add you as a Special Messenger?”

Yan Yunqing:…?

Loopy and feels like he’s not that smart?

Yan Yunqing agreed based on the principle of doing less is better than doing more.

He was delighted to get Big Shot’s Special Messenger, “Big brother, contact me often in the future!”

Yan Yunqing was puzzled. After he walked away and opened the Special Messenger, good heavens, this person’s Special Messenger space was full of marketing.

The latest post shows:

Yan Yunqing was silent.

The other world’s magic academy’s limited edition micro-business?

Oh no, this should be called Special Merchant? Message Merchant?

Forget it, just call them scalpers.

Yan Yunqing was speechless. Browsing through this person’s Special Messenger space, he actually had some temptation towards a few things.

It was really that this guy’s promotional words were too flowery, making people’s hearts flutter, and wishing he could place an order immediately.

Yan Yunqing discovered his thoughts and immediately became vigilant.

No, if this continues, he will be scammed into buying health products when he gets old!

Yan Yunqing closed the Special Messenger and firmly headed towards his dormitory.

He would never be deceived by these unlicensed merchants!
