WTYTIAAN Chapter 108

## Chapter 108

Yan Yunqing chose a dormitory with a great location, in the middle of the dormitory complex, so it wasn’t too far to walk and wouldn’t be too noisy.

He took out the dormitory key he had just received and fumbled to open the dormitory door.

The entrance hall was very tidy, the floor spotless. Entering through the main door was the common area, which was furnished with regular furniture provided by the academy: a set of sofas, and a row of bookshelves in the corner, arranged to look like a small book bar.

However, there wasn’t a single book on it, and the sofas were even still in their packaging, never having been opened. They were completely brand new.

Yan Yunqing:?

Yan Yunqing stepped back to take a look, confirming that this was the dormitory he had chosen.

That’s not right, didn’t he have a roommate? More than half the semester had passed, and his roommate hadn’t even opened the sofa packaging?

Could it be that the school teachers had made a mistake, and no one had ever actually lived in this dormitory?

Yan Yunqing scratched his head. He walked into the entrance hall and wandered around the living room. Besides the small book bar, there was also a kitchen and a water bar, with some basic drink-making tools and a small jar of coffee beans on the bar.

The kitchen was also equipped with basic cooking utensils. Unlike the unopened sofas outside, the cooking utensils in this kitchen showed signs of use, and the seasonings were neatly arranged. Some fruits and vegetables were also placed on one of the shelves.

From these traces, Yan Yunqing could tell at a glance that the other person was someone who loved cooking.

Next to the water bar was a wooden staircase leading to the second and third floors, as well as the underground training room.

This was a privilege for those with dark gold emblems. The dormitory had a training room, so whether you were a mage or a swordsman, you could train on your own. He heard that they were even using the training equipment recently researched by Teacher Mave, and the training effect was very significant. At the public training room in the academy, you had to be quick to grab a spot every day.

This wasn’t the first time Yan Yunqing had heard the name Mave. This teacher was like the Edison of this other world; all kinds of bizarre but useful inventions in the academy were her creations.

Yan Yunqing opened the mini-map and confirmed that there was no one else in the dormitory, so instead of waiting on the first floor for his roommate to appear so he could say hello, he went straight up to the third floor, which was the area assigned to him.

The layout of each floor was the same: a bedroom, a washroom, and an empty room for students to arrange and use as they pleased.

However, because no one had lived there for a long time, there was a thin layer of dust everywhere he looked. Yan Yunqing took out his magic wand from his backpack and used a cleaning spell on the entire third floor. After a few spells, it was as good as new.

Yan Yunqing looked around and silently noted the household items he needed to buy.

“Di di”

The special communicator in his pocket beeped, and Yan Yunqing took it out to find a message from Lin Nuo.

[Lin Nuo]: Are you at the dormitory yet? I just remembered that you’re new to the school, so you’re probably missing a lot of things, right? I have a spare set here that I haven’t used before. You can use it if you don’t mind.

[Lin Nuo]: If you need to buy anything else, you can go to Buma City’s commercial street. They have everything there.

Yan Yunqing skillfully changed his ID and replied to Lin Nuo.

[Good Day]: Thank you, I was just planning to buy some daily necessities. You’re a great help.

After chatting with Lin Nuo casually for a few words, Lin Nuo said he would have someone send the things over later, and Yan Yunqing finally put down the special communicator.

Lightly yawning, Yan Yunqing rubbed his brow and sat down on the still-unopened sofa, closing his eyes to rest for a bit.

Although he hadn’t exactly rushed back, and there was plenty of time, Yan Yunqing really hadn’t been idle in order to complete the tasks he had accepted at the Bounty Hunter Association.

His mind had been tense all the way, and finally, he had managed to complete his enrollment before the deadline. With everything settled, Yan Yunqing felt a wave of drowsiness washing over him.

……

He didn’t know how long he had slept, but when Yan Yunqing groggily struggled awake from his sleep, it was completely dark outside.

Yan Yunqing rubbed his eyes and barely managed to open them, turning his head to meet a pair of glowing green eyes.

Yan Yunqing:?!

Yan Yunqing subconsciously pulled out his long sword from his backpack and held it in front of his chest, breaking out in a cold sweat from the shock.

What the hell?!

When Yan Yunqing’s rationality returned, his good night vision allowed him to see that what was standing in front of him was a person, not some terrible beast.

Thinking of his never-before-seen roommate, Yan Yunqing tentatively asked, “Demetrius?”

The person with the pair of green eyes that reflected light in the dark paused, silently nodding, then lowered his head slightly, letting the stray hair in front fall and block most of his face, including those green eyes.

Yan Yunqing awkwardly put away his long sword. “This…sorry, I didn’t turn on the light. I just woke up, so I was a little startled to see you here.”

That person silently nodded again, not caring whether Yan Yunqing could see him, and still didn’t say a word.

Yan Yunqing touched his nose and stood up to turn on the magic lamp in the living room. The living room instantly became bright, illuminating Demetrius who had been hidden in the darkness.

He lowered his head again, letting his entire face sink into the shadows of his stray hair. A black robe tightly wrapped around him, not revealing a single bit of skin. The whole person exuded a gloomy and damp feeling, like moldy mushrooms in a corner on a rainy day.

Yan Yunqing:……

What kind of damp corner is this? What typical outward characteristics!

Yan Yunqing’s eyes flickered slightly. No wonder Lin Nuo had used such an unspeakable expression when he mentioned Demetrius. This Demetrius really looked too much like the legendary necromancer.

Necromancers, judging from their name, didn’t seem like they were on the side of good. They usually drove the dead to work for them, and their magic tended to be evil. In the eyes of ordinary people, these necromancers were basically associated with villains who killed without batting an eye.

Two thousand years ago, when the war between the gods was still going on, there was a legendary necromancer who used the lives lost in the war and transformed them into his undead army, causing quite a stir on this continent.

In the final battle between the Demon King and the God of Light, when the Demon King crushed the God of Light and was too injured to pay attention to him, the necromancer led his undead army to slaughter the entire Imperial Capital of Light, turning those living people and alien races all into members of his undead army, completely turning the already devastated Imperial Capital of Light into a sea of death.

At that time, the Demon King’s camp had also suffered heavy losses in the war of the gods, and they were unable to stop the necromancer’s slaughter.

The undead army spread outwards from the original Imperial Capital of the Empire of Light, the army bearing down on them, and the entire Ermann Continent was plunged into a sea of blood.

The Demon King and his retinue gathered again and completely wiped out the undead army. After a bloody battle lasting twenty years, the Demon King finally killed the necromancer and forcibly shrank the undead army, trapping it in the Sea of Death.

Since then, necromancers had become synonymous with bad guys that everyone feared.

Demetrius’s dark appearance completely matched people’s impressions of necromancers. Those people who dealt with the dead all day long were like that, gloomy and exuding a strong smell of decay.

Of course, Demetrius didn’t have that rotting smell. He was just simply dark.

Although Yan Yunqing was internally marveling at how Demetrius looked like the necromancers he had seen before, he knew that Demetrius definitely wasn’t a necromancer, after all, the name above his head was green.

Necromancers could never be in the friendly camp in the Demon King’s view, at the very least they would be neutral, and most likely they would be a red name.

“Um… hello, I’m Xavier, your new roommate.” Yan Yunqing felt that the living room was so quiet it was embarrassing. “You’re Demetrius, right? Nice to meet you.”

“…Mmm.”

A barely audible “mm” quietly sounded, then quickly disappeared into the quiet space. If Yan Yunqing wasn’t sure that Demetrius nodded along with that “mm,” he would really have suspected that he was hallucinating.

Hiss…it’s so hard to communicate.

No wonder Lin Nuo had said that his roommate had a strange personality. If this wasn’t strange, then who was?

Yan Yunqing sighed, he wanted to find a topic, but he also felt that starting a conversation would probably just be him talking and Demetrius feeling awkward.

For a time, Yan Yunqing was also caught in a dilemma.

Demetrius suddenly silently pointed to the corner of the living room. Yan Yunqing followed the direction he was pointing and found some packaged daily necessities piled in the corner.

Yan Yunqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly remembered that Lin Nuo had said that he would find someone to send that set of spare things to him. In the end, he had fallen asleep while waiting.

These were probably the things Lin Nuo had given him.

“Ah, these things are mine. Did you help me bring them back?”

“…” Demetrius nodded with difficulty, then shook his head, realizing that his movements couldn’t express all the meanings, and finally deigned to open his mouth, “Put it outside the door, I took it inside.”

Eight words, very consistent with Demetrius’s appearance, extremely simple and gloomy.

His voice was also low, not unpleasant, but there was an unspeakable hoarseness, probably because he rarely spoke.

“I see, then thank you so much.” Yan Yunqing thanked him.

Demetrius nodded again and once again fell silent.

Yan Yunqing sighed in his heart. He walked over and picked up the things. “Then I’ll go up first? It’s getting late, I still have to tidy up. You should rest early?”

Demetrius didn’t reply, but obediently stood up, turned around without saying a word, and walked towards the stairs. The back view of him even faintly revealed a sense of relief.

Yan Yunqing was stunned, then realized that it was because he had finally ended this awkward topic of their first meeting. He had let out a sigh of relief and immediately went back to his room.

Yan Yunqing was helpless. If he felt so awkward to get along with, he could have left earlier. It wasn’t like he had stopped him, right?

Don’t mention it, this dark little mushroom was both polite and impolite, knowing that he couldn’t leave directly when others hadn’t finished the topic, but he didn’t do any of the things he was supposed to do on the surface.

Another person with a sensitive mind would definitely be angry, but Yan Yunqing was alright.

Just think of this dark little mushroom as someone with social anxiety, and it’s easy to understand, isn’t it?

Yan Yunqing carried all the things to the third floor, simply tidied up his room, and simply made do for the night with his clothes on.

*

The next morning, Yan Yunqing woke up on time.

Subconsciously looking at the mini-map, the little dot of the other person in the dormitory was still not there. He must have left while Yan Yunqing was sleeping.

Yan Yunqing got out of bed, yawned, and opened the curtains. The sky outside was still gray. The sun hadn’t completely broken through the dawn yet, so it was very early.

Leaving at this hour? Could it be to avoid him?

Yan Yunqing hesitated and thought: It shouldn’t be, right? That’s too early.

After Yan Yunqing simply washed up, he went downstairs and used the kitchen to make himself a simple breakfast. He had learned this recipe from Yuli in Sunset Village.

Yan Yunqing followed the method Lin Nuo had taught him yesterday and opened his class schedule.

According to Penelope, he had only just enrolled, so he could take these few days to adjust before going to class. However, Yan Yunqing had come here to get skills, so he definitely had to go to class.

There weren’t many arrangements for today, only two classes: one was Magic History, and one was Practical Magic Spells.

Yan Yunqing had joined Sigrett Academy as a mage, so he was naturally assigned to the Magic Academy, and the courses were basically about magic.

He wasn’t in a hurry for the swordsman courses. After he got familiar with Sigrett, he could go to the Swordsman Academy to take courses as well.

After memorizing the classrooms where the two courses were held, Yan Yunqing took out Magic History from the pile of textbooks he had received yesterday. Yan Yunqing flipped through it casually. It recorded many of the Ermann Continent’s magical evolution history, as well as some important events.

Yan Yunqing had an impression of the events that the Demon King had experienced in it, and he felt a sense of time confusion as he flipped through them.

Seeing Theodore’s name again, Yan Yunqing sighed and closed the book.

Looking at the time, it was almost time for class, so Yan Yunqing put on the academy robe he had received and went out.

This time, Yan Yunqing made sure to look at the number on the white head in front before getting on the bus. As expected, there were many students on the bus with the white heads who were more gentle or steady. Unlike the previous #44, there wasn’t a single person on the bus, and it almost made Yan Yunqing throw up.

As soon as Yan Yunqing got on the bus, many eyes fell on him, with some confusion and doubt. From time to time, small voices of discussion reached Yan Yunqing’s ears.

“Who is this? How did he come out of Area A? Top student? Honors student? Why do I feel like I’ve never seen this person before?”

“I’ve never seen him either. Anyway, he can’t be the top student. I’ve seen all the top students from the six grades, and none of them look like this.”

“Hiss… I seemed to have seen this guy yesterday. Senior Lin Nuo was with him. Later I went to inquire, and it seems like he just arrived at the academy.”

“What? He just arrived at the academy? What was he doing for the first half of the semester? Does our academy allow people to be this late?”

“It’s impossible to allow it, right? Last time, a noble wanted to postpone his enrollment, and the academy directly canceled his enrollment.”

“Then this person can still be this late? What is his identity? Could it be another prince from another empire? From the royal family?”

“I don’t know…”

As the discussion intensified, the eyes of the other students on the white head bus looking at him became faintly scrutinizing and judgmental.

Sigrett Academy was known for being strict. Even the princesses and princes of the empire couldn’t get any convenience here. Everything was based on grades and strength.

But now, a person who was suspected of having special privileges had appeared, which not only made people’s minds wander, but also made the way they looked at Yan Yunqing start to change.

Yan Yunqing:.

Why did it feel like he was going to cause a lot of talk on his first day of school?

……

Today was still a sunny morning.

However, the students in Year 1 Class A all had bitter faces, each holding a textbook and burying their heads in hard study.

Those who could be assigned to Class A were the students who ranked in the top 10% in strength and grades in the entire first year. There were also several ‘repeat’ students who had been studying for several years but still hadn’t been able to successfully advance to the second year.

Usually, these people were high-spirited, but the reason why they were frowning today was entirely because their teacher had already notified them a few days ago that they would be taking two tests today, which were today’s two courses.

Exams weren’t anything. The students who could enter Class A were all geniuses, or at the very least ‘geniuses’ who had studied everything once, so they weren’t afraid of a small test.

However, the problem was that their teacher’s teacher had returned, and it was said that she had taken over the task of preparing the test questions. The teacher who taught Magic History regretfully told them that the test content had been expanded from the scope they had taught before to the entire book, and even included a lot of extracurricular knowledge.

The students in Class A had already wailed upon hearing this bad news, but their teacher had to drop an even more terrible message: the results of this test were related to their end-of-term grades. If they failed, they might have to retake these two courses next semester, and the teacher who taught the retake would directly be replaced by their teacher’s teacher.

That terrible Professor Teresa!!!

For the sake of a bright future, the students in Class A could only grit their teeth and devour the entire textbook, trying to guess the scope of the questions Professor Teresa would ask.

When Yan Yunqing walked into Class A, which was displayed on the special communicator, what he saw was a classroom full of dark clouds.

Yan Yunqing slowly typed out a question mark. He hesitated at the door, repeatedly confirming that the location on the special communicator was correct before walking into this classroom.

What’s the situation? Why does the whole classroom look so depressed?

Yan Yunqing looked around and his eyes fell on the figure sitting in the corner.

Demetrius, was his roommate also a student in Class A?

As if sensing Yan Yunqing’s gaze, Demetrius slightly raised his head. His glowing green eyes, hidden under his hair, met Yan Yunqing’s.

Demetrius seemed to be stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head again, and his whole aura became even more restrained. If he didn’t look carefully in his direction, Yan Yunqing would really have thought that there was a small mushroom squatting there.

Well, his roommate didn’t seem to welcome him to sit over there.

Yan Yunqing shrugged, not minding the resistance Demetrius showed, and directly found an empty seat and sat down.

The person next to him was still buried in reviewing, trying to cram at the last minute. Feeling the weight next to him, he subconsciously turned his head to take a look, and cursed as soon as he saw Yan Yunqing.

Yan Yunqing:?

What does that mean? Cursing at him as soon as he saw him?

Kunn’s mind was a mess for a while, and he blankly admired the beauty of the person next to him for a few seconds. Seeing Yan Yunqing look at him, he suddenly reacted, covered his mouth and smiled sheepishly, “Sorry, sorry, I was just startled by the appearance of someone next to me, I wasn’t targeting you!”

That wasn’t it, he just felt that the person sitting next to him was too good-looking. Those exquisite features and soft black hair combined together were like a noble prince. Even though they were wearing the same academy robes, when he compared himself to this person, it seemed like he was inexplicably being compared down.

Kunn was a little embarrassed. He refocused his gaze on the textbook in front of him, repeatedly hypnotizing himself: focus on studying, focus on studying, if he doesn’t pass this test, he’ll have to retake the course next semester, even if there’s a strange super beauty sitting next to him…

Huh? There’s a strange super beauty sitting next to him?

Kunn turned his head again in surprise and looked at Yan Yunqing, repeatedly confirming that the person in front of him was definitely not a student in their Class A, at least he had never seen him before.

It had been more than half a semester since school started. Even if he wasn’t familiar with them, he should have remembered his classmates, so how could a person he didn’t know suddenly appear and sit next to him?

Kunn looked around. Everyone around him was focusing on reviewing, afraid that they wouldn’t pass the test this time. No one noticed that there was a strange beauty beside them.

He quietly propped up the Magic History book, blocking his lower half of his face, leaned closer to Yan Yunqing, and asked in a whisper, “Beau-, no, brother, you didn’t come to the wrong class, did you? This is Class A.”

Yan Yunqing raised his eyebrows and also replied in a whisper, “No, I’m in Class A.”

Kunn’s eyes widened: “Ah? You’re in Class A?”

This sound was a bit louder than the whisper just now, so that the people around him who heard Kunn’s voice turned their heads dissatisfiedly towards their location, but after their eyes touched Yan Yunqing, they were all stunned.

Who is this?

Kunn also realized that his voice was a little loud, and quickly put his hands together and shook them at the people around him, expressing his apology. After finishing his apology, he looked at Yan Yunqing again and continued in his previous volume.

“Brother, don’t joke around, more than half a semester has passed, how could I not recognize the students in Class A? You don’t look like you’re in our Class A at all!” Kunn seemed to have figured something out, with a look of realization. “Brother, you didn’t come to crash a class, did you?”

Yan Yunqing: Well… how can he not count it?

Kunn mistook Yan Yunqing’s silence as a default. He looked around and tugged at Yan Yunqing’s sleeve. Yan Yunqing subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he still resisted.

“Brother, you can crash classes at other times, but not today. We’re having a test in this class today. If someone who’s not in Class A gets involved, if they don’t pass the test, it’ll lower the end-of-term grades!”

Sigrett encouraged students to crash courses, but crashing exams was also counted in the final total grade. If the grade was too low, it would affect the class division for the following year. If he didn’t pass the passing line, he would even be disqualified from entering the second grade. Even if his strength reached the standard, he would have to study in the first grade again.

If it was an ordinary test, Kunn wouldn’t care about other people’s business if a beauty came to take the test.

But this test was personally prepared by Professor Teresa. Not only would it count towards the end-of-term grades, but he also heard that if the class average was too low, the entire class would be punished by the terrifying Professor Teresa!

For the sake of that pitiful average score, Kunn resisted the urge to continue looking at the beauty and ‘kindly’ reminded him.

Yan Yunqing was stunned for a moment, “Test?”

Wait, why is there a test? This is his first class after enrolling? Is this progress a little too fast?

Kunn nodded desperately: “Yes, yes, this test is very difficult. You should leave quickly. While the exam hasn’t started, you can leave now and you won’t have to take the test.”

Yan Yunqing hesitated for a moment. What he said seemed to be right. Anyway, this was only his second day of school. It wouldn’t be reasonable to come to take the exam without having taken a single class.

Just as he was about to leave, a new task popped up on the system panel.

[Sigrett: Making a Name for Yourself (1)]

Description: You have successfully passed Sigrett’s strict enrollment assessment and entered the academy. However, many people question your ability to enter the academy. Now, you need a chance to make a name for yourself and show your strength to all those who question you: Successfully pass two tests and achieve a sensational effect. [Condition: More than 50 people are amazed by your results.]

Yan Yunqing:?

Yan Yunqing looked around. Roughly counting, there were about fifty people in the entire Class A. Over fifty people were amazed by his results?

Could it be that he has to get first place?
