WTYTIAAN Chapter 71

Walkerly walked in front, with Yan Yunqing following behind him. They walked from the living room into one of the rooms. It was very empty, and the furnishings were that of an ordinary residential room, with a wooden plank bed in the middle.
Lin Nuo asked in a low voice, “Am I going this way too? Actually, I can go through the studenttōngdào passage.”
Walkerly waved his hand, “It’s okay, anyway, we’re all going in. Just follow me, and you’ll savejīfēn points for one teleportation array.”
Speaking of this, Walkerly thought of Yan Yunqing, glanced at him, and explained to him, “It’s not enrollment season right now, so the academy’s externaltōngdào passages are closed. If students want to go out, they need to go through a special external teleportation array.”
Lin Nuo nodded along and added, “Each time you activate the teleportation array, you need certainjīfēn points.jīfēn points are the general currency in the academy. If you want to leave the academy after you enroll and don’t have enoughjīfēn points, you can team up with others. If a few people share thejīfēn points for one teleportation array, it will be much easier.”
Walkerly said with a smile, “Your good friend hasn’t officially enrolled yet, and you’re already starting to impart these little tidbits of knowledge about the academy?”
Lin Nuo scratched his nose embarrassedly, “I just think that Xavier’s strength is very strong. Since he can participate in the entrance exam, he must be able to pass.”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Walkerly shook his head, his eyes meeting Yan Yunqing’s, “Although your talent is indeed good, and your level is not low at such a young age, you will definitely pass the ordinary entrance exam, but the recommendation entrance is different.”
He thought for a while, but didn’t say too much, just said, “You better be prepared, the recommendation entrance exam hasn’t been opened for more than thirty years.”
Yan Yunqing frowned imperceptibly.
No one has entered through recommendation for more than thirty years? No wonder Lin Nuo seems to know nothing about it.
Then here comes the question, a small Baron’s son, even one who has been deprived of the inheritance of thejuéwèi title, where did he get the connections to get such a rare letter of recommendation?
This Xavier doesn’t have another identity, does he?
Yan Yunqing sighed inwardly. As expected of him, a typical accident-prone physique. He just casually borrowed the identity of a road corpse, and as a result, he precisely triggered a cǎidàn easter egg. Isn’t this a hidden plot?
Looking at the new mission that popped up on the panel 【Successfully Pass the Entrance Examination of Sigrete Academy (In Progress)】, Yan Yunqing was determined to win the upcoming exam.
Walkerly pulled out a book from the bookshelf in the room. After waiting for three seconds, the bookshelf slowly moved away, revealing the space that was blocked, “Let’s go, kids.”
He beckoned, leading Yan Yunqing and Lin Nuo in. There was nothing inside, empty, except for a table with a button on it.
Yan Yunqing stepped into it and keenly noticed that the ground under his feet was uneven. He looked down and found that there were inconspicuouswénlù patterns engraved on the floor.
Walkerly casually put the book on the table and pressed the button. The bookshelf in front of them slowly closed, “This is generally a teleportation array used by teachers. If you really enroll, you will only use the studenttōngdào passage in the future.”
Yan Yunqing nodded slightly and remembered it.
“Stand still.” With that, Walkerly walked to the middle of the teleportation array, moved his feet, and Yan Yunqing keenly felt a stream of energy being poured into the magic array under his feet. As the power was injected, the magic array gradually brightened—
A burst of dizziness made Yan Yunqing stagger uncontrollably, almost falling to the ground. Walkerly grabbed him, preventing him from falling on his butt.
“Haha, it’s like this the first time you use the teleportation array.” Walkerly laughed heartily, “Do you feel dizzy, uncomfortable, and a little nauseous? Don’t be afraid, these are normal phenomena, after all, this is space magic, very magical.”
Yan Yunqing pressed his eyelids, slowly opened his eyes after a few seconds, and was already able to stand firm. Apart from looking a little pale, he didn’t seem to feel uncomfortable at all.
Walkerly raised his eyebrows, “Not bad, you’re much better than those little cubs who have used it several times, but still throw up every time.”
He pointed to Lin Nuo next to Yan Yunqing, “Look, this guy, when he first entered the academy, he had to hold a trash can and vomit every time he came out of the teleportation array. The studenttōngdào passage even had to have a trash can specially prepared for him to vomit into. That’s why I have such a deep impression of this kid.”
Lin Nuo was extremely embarrassed, “No… teacher, why are you still reporting other people’s black history? That’s unethical.”
Walkerly laughed, “Isn’t that because you’re too useless? You have to vomit every time you come out. I’ve never seen a morexūruò weak swordmaster freshman than you, like a magician.”
Lin Nuo: …
Yan Yunqing: … Did this teacher scold both Lin Nuo and the magicians in one breath?
Wait, how come magicians are a curse word in your mouth?
Yan Yunqing twitched the corners of his mouth and looked around, discovering that their location had completely changed. The gray walls had become magnificent, and even beautiful patterns were engraved on the walls—they seemed to be formation patterns as well?
Following Walkerly out of this room, his view suddenly opened up. This was a hall that was as big as two soccer fields, with elaborately carved stone pillars scattered throughout, and he could see spaces similar to the room they had come out of all around them.
Many people wearing student robes were walking through the hall. Some walked by quickly, some were chatting with each other, and occasionally he could see people who were not wearing student robes, who seemed more like teachers, passing by in a hurry. The students on the road would bow and say hello to them.
In an instant, Yan Yunqing felt as if he had traveled into Harry 〇tter and was now in Ho〇warts Academy.
This scene really fit Yan Yunqing’s fantasy about magic academies.
“Come on, don’t be stunned. If you pass the entrance exam, you will become one of them.” Walkerly chuckled. He often served as the academy’s admissions teacher and had seen too many scenes like this.
“That teacher, I’ll go first? I still have to go and complete the leave cancellation procedure.” Lin Nuo raised his hand to signal.
Walkerly waved his hand, “Go ahead, I’ll take your good friend to find the principal. If you want to find your good friend later, you can come to the office building.”
Lin Nuo nodded and said to Yan Yunqing, “Then I’ll go first. If I’m done and you’re not finished, I’ll go find you.”
“Okay.”
After saying goodbye to Lin Nuo, Walkerly took Yan Yunqing out of the hall and walked on the path of Sigrete Academy. The passing students would occasionally take a curious look at Yan Yunqing, who was following behind Walkerly, but no one came up to talk to him.
Yan Yunqing keenly heard someone talking about him.
“Who is that following behind Teacher Walkerly? I don’t think I’ve seen him before.”
“I don’t know. He’s not wearing a school uniform either, so I can’t tell what year he is. But he’s so unfamiliar, he should be a freshman, right?”
“Would a freshman be led by Teacher Walkerly? Ah, looking at the direction they’re going, it seems to be the Black Tower. Could this freshman have committed something?”
“How long has school been in session, and he’s already committed something that requires him to be directly taken to the Black Tower for punishment? The freshmen these years are getting bolder and bolder.”
“Shh, keep your voice down, Teacher Walkerly is looking over!”
The two students who were discussing him ran away in a hurry, and Walkerly scolded with a smile, “A bunch of gossiping little cubs.”
“Don’t mind them, these little cubs have been cooped up in school for too long and like to gather together to gossip. You can do this too if you feel pressured after you enroll in the future. Just don’t research any strange alchemy items to bomb the school, and don’t use transformation potions on classmates or teachers casually! These are all against the school rules.”
Yan Yunqing: 。
Are the students at your esteemed school so valiant? Is “don’t bomb the school” already something that will be included in the precautions before enrollment?
Really?
Also, why does that transformation potion sound so familiar?
Yan Yunqing recalled it and remembered that he had heard Lillian say before that the cat ears and cat tail that appeared on him at the auction house were the result of a transformation potion.
It can turn ordinary people into beastmen or something.
The students at your esteemed school are still a bit too well-rounded.
Along the way, Yan Yunqing even saw many figures of different races. Among them, Beastmen were the most common, and he occasionally saw some Sea Clan and dwarves. There were even a fewjīnglíng zú Elf race with pointy ears, but they were all adult figures. This was normal, after all, not alljīnglíng elves were like Lillian, ayòuzǎi cub who dared to run around everywhere.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Walkerly finally stopped, and Yan Yunqing also stopped observing the passing students and began to look at this building. As the two students who had discussed him said, this building was black all over and was particularly dazzling under the sunlight.
“We’re here!” Walkerly breathed a sigh of relief, “Alas, you don’t have a studenthuīzhāng badge, so you can’t ride the school’s xiǎobái Little White, and you can only walk.”
“xiǎobái Little White is…?” Yan Yunqing wondered why this name sounded like a dog’s name.
“xiǎobái Little White is—ah, that’s Little White.” Walkerly pointed to a small car coming towards them. The exterior looked like the sightseeing trains in some tourist attractions on Blue Star, except it was a retro version.
Yan Yunqing was surprised. He originally thought that the technological level of this world was roughly equivalent to Europe in the early 18th century on Blue Star, but he didn’t expect that while Bato Vita was still using animals to pull carts, the academy already had fuel-powered cars.
A bit cool! Does that mean that the first industrial revolution in this world is about to begin?
“You probably haven’t seen a car like this outside, have you?” Walkerly noticed Yan Yunqing’s eyes lighting up and said happily, “These are all things researched by the alchemists in the school. You can see these novel things in the school from time to time. They are all research projects of teachers and students.”
“For example,xiǎobái Little White is a means of transportation that Professor Mawi and her students researched a few years ago. As long as you lay out the magic circuit in the school, these cars can use magic to travel.”
Yan Yunqing calmed down in a second.
Okay, the technology tree of this world still cannot be separated from the power of the mysterious side. These alchemy items that require a lot of money to lay magic circuits cannot be used outside the school.
As expected, a world with magic is not so easy to enter the industrial revolution, because those talents have all gone to study alchemy and magic!
Walkerly strangely discovered that after he finished saying these things, this talented child’s face was full of indifference.
He tilted his head: Strange, could it be that this child is not interested in alchemy?
The principal’s office was on the top floor of the Black Tower. Walkerly took Yan Yunqing on the elevator—oh, in this world it was called mófǎ géjiān Magic Compartment, also an alchemy item that used magic as a driving force.
The view from the highest floor was very open. As soon as they got out of the elevator, they could see a door with a sign that said “Principal’s Office” thoughtfully hung on it, and a pink heart was drawn at the end.
Walkerly knocked on the door and said loudly, “Ms. Allison? Are you inside?”
Yan Yunqing thought he had misheard and recognized it before realizing that Walkerly was calling Allison instead of Alice. Only the ending sound was different, and the other syllables were the same.
As soon as Walkerly finished speaking, a clanging sound came from inside the door. Yan Yunqing hesitantly glanced at Walkerly. He suspected that there had been a small collapse inside, otherwise where did this sound come from?
Walkerly’s face remained calm and he knocked on the door again, “Ms. Allison, if you are inside, please answer. If you are not, I will open the door directly?”
Yan Yunqing heard a weak voice from inside the door saying, “I’m here…”
Yan Yunqing:?
Walkerly raised his hearty smile, “Ms. Allison, you are really inside, then I will open the door.”
“Wait——”
Before the person inside could say anything to stop him, Walkerly had already pressed the doorknob and opened the evil door——
A pillow that appeared out of nowhere was lying in front of the door. Looking inside, there were papers flying everywhere, piles of books stacked like small mountains, and various snack wrappers lying quietly on the ground. On the wall facing the door hung a huge portrait, and on the portrait was——an oil painting of a man without a face?
Yan Yunqing leaned back tactically.
This, this, this——
Which otaku’s room is this?
“Ms. Allison——” Walkerly sighed for a long time, “I have said many times, please don’t eat snacks in the office casually. Even if you eat them, please clean them up. It’s so messy that you will be laughed at by the students.”
“Woo——” A fluffy head emerged from a pile of documents. She pushed the heavy glasses on the bridge of her nose and uttered a whimper, “I, I didn’t expect that you would bring a student to find me at this time.”
Walkerly held his forehead, “If nothing unexpected happens, I sent you a message at least half an hour in advance. Even if you are busy, please read my message?”
The head buried itself again, and the pile of books covering her wriggled a few times, seemingly looking for something. After a while, the voice suddenly realized, “Oh——so you really sent me a message!”
Walkerly was helpless: “…Would I lie to you? Ms. Allison.”
“Woo, I’m sorry…” The voice weakened, “Then, can you give me half an hour?”
Walkerly: “…The student is still waiting for you, please clean yourself up within ten minutes, okay?”
“…Okay.”
Walkerly took a few steps back, closed the door of the principal’s office again, and looked at Yan Yunqing with a smile, “Let’s wait a while, Ms. Allison needs a little time to prepare to see you.”
Yan Yunqing: …
Yan Yunqing gave Walkerly a strange look. He really didn’t expect that this burly man with muscles all over his body, who looked like a typical swordsman, was actually the male nanny type.
Ew, how strange, let me take another look.
Ten minutes passed quietly. Yan Yunqing looked around the top floor of this Black Tower boredly and found that there were several rooms here besides the principal’s office, but only the principal’s office had a sign hanging on the door. The doors of the other rooms were empty, and their specific uses were uncertain.
During this period, such sounds continued to be made from the principal’s office. The loud noise made Yan Yunqing wonder if there was demolition or renovation going on inside.
When ten minutes were up, the door was opened on time. Yan Yunqing clearly saw that Walkerly had not made any movements, and there was no one behind the door that slowly opened.
…Haunted?
“Come in, child.” Walkerly said easily, “Presumably Ms. Allison is ready to see you.”
Yan Yunqing hesitated and stepped into the room. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that the position where the portrait had been hanging was gone, and an oil painting of a landscape had replaced it.
The originally messy office had also been renewed and was as clean as a model room.
Behind the wide wooden long table sat an extremely beautiful woman. Her chestnut-colored long curly hair rested on her shoulders, and she wore an extremelyxiūshēn figure-hugging long dress, with her slender legs crossed.
Ms. Allison pushed the slender gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and the dangling golden chain gently swayed, full of intellectual beauty. She elegantly picked up a strangely shaped coffee cup and took a sip of the swaying black coffee liquid inside.
Whether it was Yan Yunqing’s illusion or not, he always felt that what permeated the air was not the bitter andchúnxiāng mellow aroma of coffee, but some kind of sweet cocoa powder scent.
“Ms. Allison, good afternoon.” Walkerly greeted with a normal expression.
The intellectual and elegant woman gently placed the coffee cup in her hand on the desk in front of her, making a crisp dong sound. She used one hand to lift the curly hair resting on her shoulder and smiled at Walkerly, “Good afternoon, Teacher Walkerly.”
Her eyes swept over Walkerly and gently landed on Yan Yunqing, revealing a hint of a smile in her eyes, “So, Teacher Walkerly, what is the matter that you need to bring this student to find me at this time?”
Her voice was low and slightly hoarse, a very typicalyùjiě mature woman’s voice.
The voice was so soothing that Yan Yunqing shivered involuntarily.
Allison:? Is it cold? Why does this student shiver as soon as she speaks? She’s not that scary, is she?
“Oh, it’s like this——” Walkerly was about to explain when he suddenly stopped, “I remember that in the message I just sent you, I clearly stated the purpose of bringing this student here?”
“Cough——” Allison coughed awkwardly, and her voice remained the same: “Is that so? Sorry, I didn’t look carefully just now, I’m really sorry.”
Walkerly sighed again, “It’s okay, Ms. Allison, you don’t have to secretly check the message under the table, I’ll just tell you.”
He took out the letter of recommendation that Yan Yunqing had given him, placed it on the desk, and pushed it towards Allison’s position.
“This student received a letter of recommendation and wants to enter the academy through the recommendation admission method. This is his letter of recommendation. Please take a look.”
“Oh?”
Allison became interested when she heard this, reached out and pressed the letter of recommendation that had already been opened, and unfolded it to view.
