Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Provocation Comes_1

The one who went up to preside was a female teacher who appeared to be just over 30, Even without a loudspeaker or similar devices, her voice still carried across the entire square.

"Students, happy new semester! I am delighted to gather here with everyone. Today we hold this opening ceremony, firstly to welcome our returning students, and secondly to welcome the new students. We..."

The teacher on stage spoke ceaselessly, while students underneath whispered among themselves.

"That teacher really looks young!" Lei Xiaohu exclaimed.

"She’s the head of the teaching department, Xie Fan!" Sun Kui said slyly, "She’s really strict with students. They call her ’Iron-faced King Yama’. Don’t be fooled by her young appearance; it’s said that she’s over a hundred years old. What she hates most is when someone talks about her age."

Phantom Masters naturally age slower than normal people. Once at the Phantom Emperor level, one’s appearance almost stops aging. At the Phantom Venerable level, one can even revert to youth.

"You really are a ’know-it-all’; you even know this," Gao Liang said.

"Heh heh, that’s right!" Sun Kui raised his head triumphantly, only to see the director on stage looking at them. He immediately stood up straight, causing Dugu Qianye and the others to stifle their laughter.

"All right, what needed to be said has been said. Now, let’s distribute the Study Points cards to the new students." The teaching director finished speaking, waved her hand, and thousands of Study Points cards were transported by Phantom Power to each new student’s hands. The new students got their Study Points cards and turned them over in their hands, looking at them.

"You can now input your information. From now on, acquiring and using Study Points must be done by swiping the card. Classes officially start this afternoon; you are dismissed." The teaching director said and then left.

Seeing the director leave, the students also dispersed.

"That move from the teaching director just now was really impressive."

"Indeed."

"I heard the teaching director’s Phantom Power has already reached the Phantom Venerable level, tsk tsk!"

"Eh, do you guys know? The teaching director is over a hundred years old. You really can’t tell!"

"If the teaching director is so powerful, I wonder what the principal is like."

"It is said that the principal’s Phantom Power has long been at the peak of Phantom Venerable, and he can be considered the number one expert in the Mors Empire. However, he’s as elusive as a dragon, rarely seen by anyone. Most of the academy’s affairs are managed by that old vice-principal and the teaching director."

As Dugu Qianye and her four companions followed the crowd back to their dormitory, they overheard other students’ conversations. She couldn’t help but ask Sun Kui out of curiosity, "Doesn’t the principal stay at the school?"

"Yeah, it’s said that the principal hasn’t appeared at the academy for a long time. Most students don’t even know what the principal looks like," Sun Kui said.

"Then the principal is indeed mysterious!" Sang Yu commented.

Inside the principal’s office, an old man lay in a rocking chair, resting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, the door was pushed open with a bang, and the teaching director stormed in.

"You old coot, here you are dozing off again, leaving me to preside over the opening ceremony." Xie Fan kicked the old man on the rocking chair.

The old man opened his eyes and said, "Isn’t it because you’ve always had a solemn and serious image in the hearts of the students? That’s why I had you do it. With the way I look, going up there would only distort the image of the academy."

"Humph, today while I was lecturing, someone below actually called me ’Iron-faced King Yama’. It pissed me off. If it weren’t for the headmaster being away from the academy for so long, and you being as lazy as a pig, would I have ended up with such an image?" Xie Fan poured himself a glass of water, then asked, "Has he still not sent any information?"

The old man opened his eyes, full of concern, shook his head, and said, "It’s been two years without any information from him. Although there have been interruptions before, it has never been this long. If there’s still no information in another half a year, I’ll go look for him. By then, the academy will be relying on you. So you should start training some assistants first."

"That’s the only choice now," Xie Fan said.

Dugu Qianye returned to her dormitory, engrossed in studying her courses when she soon heard Gao Liang shouting outside, "Baili Xie, someone is looking for you." She went outside and saw Mo Feng and Mo Ziqing, then called them into her room.

"Sister, you’re here and didn’t come to find me. I’ve missed you," Mo Feng pouted as he entered the room.

"You’re seeing me now, aren’t you?" Dugu Qianye patted Mo Feng’s head, and he smiled like a child who had just received candy.

From when did it change from him taking care of her to her protecting him? It seemed like ever since he started calling her ’sister,’ he’d gotten used to relying on her.

"I’d just got back to the dorm when he came looking for me, asking me to take him to you," Mo Ziqing said as he found a stool and sat down, smiling.

Dugu Qianye smiled at Mo Ziqing, then turned to Mo Feng and asked, "Have you been practicing diligently these past two months?"

"I have. I’ve now stabilized the Phantom Power that surged last time, and I’m almost able to concoct third-grade elixirs," Mo Feng replied.

"Well, don’t call me ’sister’ in the academy. My name here is Baili Xie, got it?"

Mo Feng nodded and said, "Sister, I miss the food you cook."

Although the food he made now was also delicious, he still missed the meals prepared by Dugu Qianye.

"Let’s have lunch here today then. It’s almost lunchtime anyway," Dugu Qianye said, then looking at Mo Ziqing added, "You eat here with us too."

"Hehe, sure. I’ve had your grilled meat but never your cooked meals. Mo Feng always says that your cooking is even better than his, and I’ve been drooling over it for a long time," Mo Ziqing said.

With Mo Feng’s help, Dugu Qianye quickly prepared a table full of dishes. After going out to call Sun Kui, Sang Yu, and a few others, she came back and said to Mo Feng, "Make sure you don’t slip up later, okay?"

"Wow, Baili Xie, I’ve realized how lucky I am to be in the same courtyard as you!" Sang Yu said. "The delicious smell hit me even before I entered!"

Sun Kui and the others sat down casually. Although Mo Ziqing and the others had come over yesterday, Sun Kui had been inside the house and didn’t know. He looked at Mo Ziqing and Mo Feng and exclaimed, "Are you the one in the top ten geniuses, Mo Ziqing? Are you Mo Feng, the level-three Alchemist at just fourteen? Wow, I can’t believe I’m having a meal with two geniuses, God, if this is a dream, don’t let me wake up!"

Everyone laughed at his funny demeanor, and Dugu Qianye smacked him onto the table, saying, "Hurry up and eat, we have classes in the afternoon."

"Hehe, Baili Xie, you’re awesome! Not only can you cook delicious food, but you also know such amazing people!" Lei Xiaohu said.

Gao Liang stuffed food into his mouth while nodding in agreement.

The meal ended in a joyous and harmonious atmosphere. After lunch, Mo Ziqing and Mo Feng went back to prepare for the afternoon classes, and Dugu Qianye and the others rested for a while before heading to class. Because they were in different departments, Dugu Qianye, Sun Kui, and Gao Liang went to the Phantom Department, while Lei Xiaohu and Sang Yu went to the Sword Master Department.

All three, Dugu Qianye, Sun Kui, and Gao Liang, were students in Class 1A. They arrived in the classroom when it wasn’t very crowded and chose seats at the back to sit down.
