Royal Academy.

New Student Registration Office.

"I'm sorry, you don't have a letter of introduction, you don't have money, and you can't enter our academy because you're a month late," ...... the old woman from the school office said to Xia Yu coldly, coupled with her disgusted eyes, she looked Xia Yu up and down, making Xia Yu extremely unhappy.

Xia Yu's strength was completely suppressed by Master Miao Wu, and he only had a faint amount of mana on his body.

"The students of our academy all have good backgrounds and family backgrounds, and our academy will not accept students of unknown origin like you!" the old woman said to Xia Yu proudly.

Damn old woman!

Xia Yu could only scold in his heart, and tried his best to pretend to be pitiful on his face, hoping to move the old woman, "Let me in, I have already cultivated mana ......"

The old woman seemed to have encountered the funniest thing in the world, "You can cultivate mana even by yourself?"

The environment in the Southern Regions is very harsh, and only a very few people can cultivate mana, so the old woman will not believe Xia Yu.

"You, do you really want to enter the Royal Academy?" a voice came from behind Xia Yu, majestic but kind.

Xia Yu turned his head and saw that he was a very majestic elder. There was an astonishing glint in those sharp eyes. The old man wore a loose and luxurious white robe, a thick and snow-white beard that hung down to his chest, and the wrinkles on his face could trap mosquitoes.

The moment he made eye contact with the old man, Xia Yu felt that everything he had was exposed to the old man's gaze, which was a strange feeling of being peeped into.

"Do you really want to enter the Royal Academy?" the old man walked up to Xia Yu and repeated again.

Xia Yu nodded in confusion, who is this old man, who looks like cow dung?

"Okay, you can enter the school first, as for the tuition, it will be made up at the end of the semester......" He looked at Xia Yu seriously, "The first rule of our school is that you must not be in arrears ...... tuition."

"Okay, I will!" Xia Yu nodded happily in agreement, "Thank you, may I ask you ......"

"Royal Academy, the headmaster of this academy......"

"Headmaster, how can you get him to join the academy so easily......" the old woman cried out from behind.

"I run this school, and I have the right to let anyone in!"

"Yes...... The principal ......" The old woman lowered her head and registered Xia Yu's name in the book.

Xia Yu was very happy when she saw the old woman eating deflated.

"This is your room, do you really think that if you enter the academy, you can live in a gorgeous single dormitory like other students? Tell you, you can't even pay the tuition, so it's cheap for you to live here!" The old woman reluctantly handed Xia Yu a rusty key, and said to Xia Yu viciously.

If the teaching building outside is gorgeous like a palace, then Xia Yu's bedroom must be a prison cell...... The surrounding walls were gray and unrecognizable, and the windows were even smaller, poorly furnished, with a wooden bed on top and bottom, and thick straw mats, which were covered with musty sheets. But Xia Yu is already very happy, this is much better than the stiff walls on the street......

On one side of the wooden bed sat a rickety desk, and on the wall above the desk was a two-tiered wooden shelf filled with books.

The old woman turned to leave and said, "There's a man living next door to you, and you should see her right away." ”

It turns out that there are still people living here, and the bookshelf must be the belongings of a neighbor who has never met.

Xia Yu put the things he was carrying on the bed and began to sort out the items he had received from the logistics office. A thin bedding, a light blue uniform, a stack of textbooks, a royal college sword, a washbasin, a kettle, and a pillow without pillowcases. The pillow was erect and I didn't know what was stuffed in it, but Xia Yu was still very happy to pat the dust off it and put it on the bed.

Xia Yu had just made the bed when a weak short-haired girl pushed the door and walked in.

"Are you ......" The girl looked at Xia Yu in surprise, her voice was soft and weak, very beautiful. She has short black ear-length hair, a delicate face, and a pair of eyes that are particularly clear, like two black gems.

Xia Yu hurriedly sat up from the bed and stretched out his hand, but he remembered that he was covered with dirt, and it was really not suitable to shake hands with others, especially if the other party was still a girl.

Xia Yu retracted his hand curtly, his face suddenly turned red, and he said cowardly: "My name is Xia Yu, and I am a freshman." ”

"Ah! Hello, hello! My name is Lin Xiaorou, you can call me Xiaorou!" the girl smiled lightly and took the initiative to stretch out her hand, "Xia Yu...... You should be from the East like me, and your name has a strong Oriental flavor. ”

Xia Yu and Lin Xiaorou shook it lightly and let go.

Lin Xiaorou's hands were cold and cold, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

It was already evening, and Xiao Rou turned on the light, and the soft pale yellow light sprinkled on the walls, adding a bit of warmth to the room.

"You only came today?" asked Xiao Rou, pulling out a book from a nearby shelf.

"Yes, and I owe a lot of tuition to the college, and if I hadn't met the principal, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to enter the college......"

"Do you want to work?" I work in a restaurant, and I heard from the boss that I was going to recruit another employee, if you want, I can talk to the boss......" Xiaorou asked with concern.

Xia Yu was not short of money, but thinking of Miao Wu's instructions, he decided to listen to Xiao Rou's arrangement and treat him completely as a poor student.

"Thank you, you've been my lifesaver. Xia Yu said with a smile.

Xiao Rou waved her hand again and again, "How can it be so serious, everyone is poor and should take care of each other." ”

"So when can I go to work?"

"Tomorrow will do. The salary is very small, only three hundred copper coins, but it is enough for a month's expenses, and we can often earn tips, and if we are lucky, the tips alone are enough for us to pay for a semester's tuition. It was introduced to me by Professor Nikolai, and it was a restaurant that only the upper class nobles could visit. If I hadn't been a student at the Royal Academy, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be qualified to work. ”

A hundred copper coins are worth one silver coin, and Xia Yu owes six hundred silver coins to the tuition fee of the Royal Academy, and I don't know how long it will take to pay it off by working part-time......

"Thank you, Xiaorou......" Xia Yu looked at Lin Xiaorou gratefully.

"Thank you, everyone is poor, it's too polite to say this......" Xiao Rou put away the books on the old desk, "My room is next door to you, I always used this place as my study before you came." Hehe, the vicinity of this building has always been a place for the academy to keep captive beasts, and there are basically no people who come, and I used to be the only one who lived here, and we can be companions in the future. ”

"Your book is right here, I can't use it that much anyway. Only then did Xia Yu know why he felt that this house was quite clean, it turned out that Lin Xiaorou had been cleaning it all the time.

"You must have seen the mother-in-law who manages this place, although she looks fierce, she is still quite nice, and she agrees with me to use this place as a study!" Xiao Rou looked really happy, I wonder if it was because someone finally lived here like her.

"You should be sleepy too, right? Rest early, I'll call you to class tomorrow. Xiao Rou saw Xia Yu's tired face and said intimately.

After Lin Xiaorou left, Xia Yu turned off the lights, and the bedroom suddenly fell into darkness.

Xia Yu was indeed sleepy, and he had been on the road for seven days, lying on the bed at this time, and soon fell asleep......

Early the next morning, Xia Yu was woken up by Xiao Rou.

Xia Yu kept splashing the water in the basin on his face, and the cold water made Xia Yu's mind completely sober.

Putting on a thin school uniform, Xia Yu saw himself in the half-sized mirror...... The light blue school uniform was slightly wide, and the hem of the long blouse hung down to his legs. Two wide white strips on the school uniform, slanting from the shoulders to the waist. The left chest of the school uniform is embroidered with the words "Royal Academy" in red.

Xia Yu's height is not low, but why is this school uniform so big?He looked at Xiao Rou, who was half a head lower than him, in confusion, how could her school uniform fit so well...... It's just that there are more patches, and the washing is a little white.

Carrying the simple schoolbag that Xiao Rou had made overnight, Xia Yu followed Xiao Rou out of the accommodation area.

The trees on both sides of the road swayed lightly, and under the trees was a verdant meadow. Students in school uniforms come and go in the academy, revealing a vibrant spirit.

Surrounded by huge and splendid buildings, it was like giants looking down on Xia Yu.

"Let's go, you must not be late for class on the first day!, otherwise if Professor Nikolai gets angry, you will be unlucky......" Ignoring Xia Yu's stunned expression, Xiao Rou grabbed him and walked forward.

At this moment, a series of exclamations suddenly sounded from the front. Xia Yu raised his head curiously, but stopped in surprise.

Could it be that he was dazzled? How could there be such a beautiful person in this world!

Not far in front of them, a girl in a blue school uniform walked gently in front of the two. The simple school uniform looked incomparably luxurious on her, as if reflecting the brilliance of all the sun, and her long black hair shining like a waterfall was blown in the air by the wind. With a confident smile on her snow-white face, she looks so beautiful from the side.

Small and straight nose, ruddy lips, soft face outlined by a fairy, long and beautiful neck, looks like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, slender and erect, knee-length school skirt reveals her crystal clear skin, two tender lotus-like calves can cause all reveries, but her noble temperament immediately makes those who produce those reveries ashamed......

Her walking posture seemed to be floating gently in the clouds, so leisurely, and so elegant as dust, like a blue cloud, or a budding blue lily, flying in front of Xia Yu's eyes. The countless boys around her, like Xia Yu, stood still, looking at the direction she was going in the distance, with infinite admiration in their eyes......

"Who is she?......" Xia Yu looked at the girl's back and asked Xiao Rou, who was trying to pull him away.

"That, all boys' dream lovers, Liu Xinyue, like us, is also a freshman this year. The heir of one of the five great families in the world, gone......"

"When do you want to see it!" Xiao Rou's sudden tugging made Xia Yu almost come to chew on, "Otherwise, it's really late......"

The morning sun shone on the running students, and the vast campus was filled with the laughter of the crowd and the majesty of the school building. The beautiful girls like poetry left a moving figure on the campus.

On the first day of class, Xia Yu basically didn't understand anything, so he just sat beside Xiao Rou all morning. At the end of class, Xia Yu was called to the office by Professor Nikolai.

Professor Nikolai is a very kind person, and he is not as terrible as Xiaoyu said. "You're new here, aren't you? Have you chosen all the courses for this semester?" said the tall, thin Professor Nikolai with a short beard, in his forties, and a fatherly kindness on his face.

Xia Yu nodded and shook his head again. Meaning: I'm new here, what are those courses and why should I take them?

"Hehe, you should first go to the Academic Affairs Office to choose a course, and then submit your application list to the teacher of the course you have chosen, and then you can go to class. My class is compulsory, so you have to take it if you don't take it. This semester is the only compulsory course for me, do you know the name?"

Xia Yu nodded, it said, "Introduction to Intermediate Mana".

"You're already more than a month behind the other students' classes, so you have to study hard!" Professor Nikolai patted Xia Yu on the shoulder,

"Xiaorou is an old friend's child, you have to take care of her more in the future!"

Professor Nikolai didn't know what he remembered, and was silent for a long time.

After a while, Professor Nikolai came to his senses and said with a smile: "Otherwise, you can choose the same course as Xiaorou, so that she can also tutor you, and you will have the same free time to work." How about I help you hand over the application subject list to the Academic Affairs Office and the teachers?"

Xia Yu hurriedly wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and nodded.

"So your father and Professor Nikolai are old friends?" At noon, eating Xiao Rou's meal in the spacious and gorgeous cafeteria, Xia Yu looked at Xiao Judo with understanding.

"yes, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get in. He paid for my tuition in advance. But it wasn't until my dad had an accident that I learned he had such an old friend, who had never met Professor Nikolai before. Xiao Rou chewed the food in her mouth carefully, nodded and said.

It seems that Xiaorou is not an ordinary child from a poor family, and her father is definitely not an ordinary person......

In the afternoon, Xiaorou took Xia Yu to the hotel where she worked.

It's a big upscale hotel. The hotel is located on the ground floor of a 28-storey building, and the entire hotel occupies the bottom five floors. The ground floor is a place to eat, and the upper floor is for guests to entertain, with bathrooms, baths, massage rooms, activity rooms and guest rooms......

The interview went well, I don't know if it's because of Xiaorou's relationship, or Xia Yu's current appearance is very attractive. The boss simply asked Xia Yu a few questions, and asked Xia Yu to help wash the dishes in the back kitchen, which means that at least at this stage, Xia Yu will not be able to get a tip.

After changing into simple and clean work clothes, Xia Yu began his first day of work.
