Chapter 779: Chapter 439: A Bunch of Newbies Have Emerged (6K)_4

"Hahaha, don’t be afraid. Indeed, it’s rare to see someone like you... What I mean is, the fact that you passed the preliminary test without having undergone an Awakening means you must have your own shining points. You can be a little more confident."

"Is, is that so?"

Qian Xiaocao gradually realized that despite the sister’s scary appearance, she was a good person.

However, the glances from some people in the distance were truly frightening.

"Is the academy’s quota very, very precious? Why would someone as formidable as you want to enter the academy?"

"Hahaha, I’m hardly considered formidable."

"Is that so?"

Qian Xiaocao didn’t quite understand.

All she knew was that her neighbor, an old woman, mentioned an organization called ’Torch Academy’ that was recruiting... She thought it was a job recruitment. Being alone, Qian Xiaocao immediately signed up and, after somehow muddling through the preliminary test, she realized that things weren’t so simple.

Torch Academy was formidable.

But she couldn’t articulate how formidable it was, knowing only that many important figures were vying for a spot in it.

Thinking of this, she curled up even tighter, shrinking into a corner, trying hard not to attract any further attention.

...

"This little sprout actually passed the preliminary test while none of this Princess’s maids could!"

A princess with her hands on her hips thought angrily.

She was the seventy-sixth princess of Shuiman Country, a royal princess and certainly one of the most noble persons aboard the airship. She also knew a great deal of insider information about Torch Academy.

The academy was even more incredible than one could imagine!

Her mother had told her to do everything possible to get into Torch Academy.

"Dammit, if this princess had obtained a study-abroad quota, I wouldn’t have to stoop to undergo assessment with these rubes!"

She could already imagine the mocking faces of the other few.

But if you can’t obtain it, you can’t obtain it!

In the other six countries, it wasn’t difficult for a princess to get a study-abroad quota. But there were simply too many princes and princesses in Shuiman Country, well over a hundred. Even if only some were of the appropriate age, and some lacked interest, there were still too many competitors for the study-abroad quotas.

The seventy-sixth princess had just missed obtaining a study-abroad quota.

"It doesn’t matter. This princess will definitely get into the academy and prove to be stronger than those who could only enter with a study-abroad quota."

"It’s just that..."

When she thought of how hard she had worked, made all kinds of preparations to enter Torch Academy, and some ignorant rubes could also get in, obtaining an identity hardly inferior to her own... The seventy-sixth princess seethed with frustration.

Why is that!

...

After the White Shark airship was filled with three thousand newbies, it officially set off and began its inter-realm flight.

The first day, the newbies were very excited and agitated.

By the second and third day, they gradually quieted down.

The smarter newbies knew they were far from being Torch Academy students yet, and had to overcome a barrier before them. Only by passing it could they revel to their heart’s content.

The White Shark airship was incredibly fast, and didn’t run into any accidents along the way—quite different from what the storybooks described... the newbies thought.

When the White Shark airship landed outside the academy’s gates, the newbies disembarked batch by batch.

They took in the surrounding sights.

Bleak, silent, barren... Although a market had formed naturally and there were quite a few Awakeners living here, the overall environment was still wild.

However, apart from a few weak newbies, the vast majority had seen the wilderness before and didn’t find it strange.

Under the guidance of the academy instructors, they quickly passed through the Secret Realm Gate and entered Torch Academy.

In an instant, the world transformed.

Warm sunlight poured down, towering mountains and the immense White Jade Square came into view.

Ordinary newbies, witnessing the secret realm’s sights, couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder.

But the noble descendants of powerful nations—princesses, ducal heirs, mythological descendants—this small group of young men and women held their chins up a little higher, wearing a faint smile. They raised their heads a bit more and curled their lips further upon seeing the other awestruck examinees.

At the mountain gate, a group of ’older students of the academy’ were responsible for welcoming the newbies and assisting in the arrangement of the exams.

Some were still provisional students, while others had just officially joined a month or two ago. Yet, that didn’t stop them from posing as seniors in front of the newbies and enjoying the worshipful gazes of the newcomers.

"Welcome to Torch Academy."

"Little guys, let this examiner see how many of you can truly remain here."

Dressed in Torch Academy instructor attire, Miss Ruo strode forward and lightly clapped her hands.

Clap, clap~

The square in front of the mountain gate seemed to tremble.

No, what was trembling were the four massive gray statues, standing at four corners of the square.

Their eyes moved!

The stone chips on their bodies were falling off!

They... they came to life!

"Roar~!"

The giant Dragon Turtle let out a roar, the Thunderbolt Divine Eagle soared to the sky, showering down a myriad of lightning bolts. The icy Wolf King howled a chilling wind, and a cold blast hit everyone’s faces straight away.

This was a welcoming ceremony added by Miss Ruo, and one of the assessment items of the retest.

As the newbies stepped into the secret realm, the retest... had begun.
