In the Imperial City, at an airport where familiars could take off and rest, a purplish-gold divine dragon landed on the ground, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
Countless familiars felt the suppression of the high-ranking divine dragon’s bloodline. For a moment, they were terrified and fled in all directions. The originally peaceful scene turned chaotic.
Not far away, a well-dressed middle-aged man jogged over. His forehead was covered in sweat, but he had a bitter expression on his face. He didn’t dare to shout loudly, and he didn’t even dare to scold the familiar’s owner. He only looked at the principal with some hidden bitterness.
“Alright, alright. I’ll get the ruffian to put away the dragon aura.”
Lin Qingming laughed loudly. His own divine dragon didn’t have any bad intentions. He was just a little mischievous and liked to play pranks, which was why he had the nickname ruffian.
Only then did the middle-aged man wipe the sweat off his forehead with his clothes and call over a staff member at the side, “Tell them that everything is fine now. Settle down your familiars and inform them to open the private room. I’ll be attending to the guests.”
“I don’t have time today. I’ll come over for tea next time when I’m free.”
Lin Qingming waved his hand and rejected the other party’s invitation. Right now, the most important thing was to go through the transfer student procedures for Lin Xuan. Although he had arranged quite a number of backup plans in Dongning City, he could feel trouble brewing.
Lin Xuan had just arrived, so naturally, he wasn’t familiar with this place. On the other hand, Lin Zhenxing was explaining beside him, “The Imperial City doesn’t allow familiars to carry people and fly directly into the city unless they obtain a professional flying certificate. However, you can see that even my grandfather wasn’t able to enter the city directly. That certificate isn’t easy to get. This is a privately-run airport. The main service here is to serve the surrounding generation of familiars. Of course, if you want to experience flying a familiar, you can also rent the familiars here.”
Lin Zhenyue stood to the side and informed Lin Xuan enthusiastically.
Meanwhile, the well-dressed middle-aged man looked at Lin Xuan curiously. He was naturally familiar with the two daughters of the Lin family, but this one looked a little unfamiliar.
“Who is this?”
“Your junior. Enough talking. Prepare a car for me. I’m in a hurry!”
The middle-aged man directly drove a large car from the garage to the side and drove them to the school.
After arriving, Lin Qingming was no longer in a hurry. No matter what, this was his territory now. How could he let his students be robbed here?
This school did not have a gate or even a wall in the traditional sense. Instead, it had a row of trees as a wall. In front of them was a circular square. In the middle of the square stood a huge rock with the wording Imperial Capital first high school. On the back was a carving of the battles that the school had participated in.
“Seventy to eighty years ago, Taixia Country was far more chaotic. After the Day of Awakening, many people directly went to the battlefield. This school had existed since the beginning of Taixia Country. Each time, it would be at the forefront of the battle with wild monsters. Now, there were too many battles that our ability users aren’t able to keep up with. Later on, Taixia Country became more powerful and the world became peaceful. As the last teacher of this school, I took over during those messy times.”
Lin Qingming’s tone was calm. He was neither excited nor complacent; instead, he let out an endless sigh. How many elites were buried and how many powerhouses were buried on the battlefield? He was not even above average in that generation.
Lin Xuan nodded toward the stone tablet as a sign of respect for the previous warriors and students that protected this country.
“Let’s go. It’s time for us to strive for self-improvement. It’s our goal to conquer the dungeons and overpower other countries. No matter what, we have to accomplish one of our goals.”
Lin Qingming smiled and patted Lin Xuan’s shoulder, leading him into his new school.
After entering, it was as if they had entered another world. It became quiet and a little serious. Yes, it was like the holy land of learning!
“On both sides of the area were full of studious people. The boys are on the left and the girls on the right. Every new student who enters will plant one tree. After many years, that has gradually turned into a forest.”
Lin Xuan looked curiously at the tall trees on both sides and was secretly excited. This was one of Imperial Capital’s first high school wonders. Now, he could personally add his own tree and join the herd!
After walking over a hundred meters of the study path, an ancient-style building stood before him.
“This is the Lion Heart Building, also known as the teacher’s building. A lion is brave and fearless. No matter how strong the enemy is, the lion would always rush up and fight. A teacher teaches according to his aptitude. No matter how strange the student is, he must find their specialty. This requires a heart, diligence, patience, and perseverance!”
This first school was built a long time ago. At that time, they did not think much about the name and called it the first school of Imperial City.
After that, the excited principal brought Lin Xuan and his two precious granddaughters around the campus. The names of each location were named as such.
Treasure — logistics department.
Mountain of Books — library.
Delicacy — schools cafeteria.
Cuisine — western restaurants.
Jianghu — training hall.
King Area — arena.
Community Garden — team hall.
River of History — registration office.
…
Was it necessary? Lin Xuan stood at the file registration office named the river of history and was going through the transfer procedures with a fake smile on his face. He felt that he couldn’t remember that many names at all, he might even get lost on this huge campus.
“Your student files have been officially transferred to our high school. Congratulations, you have become a member of our school. Here, this is your watch. It contains a completed map of the place. It also connects to the other buildings. If you don’t like it, you can change it to a cell phone. However, high schoolers are prohibited to bring their phones to campus. Just kidding! This is for you. Haha!”
Lin Xuan forced an awkward smile as he looked at the manager who was making a joke. “That wasn’t a funny joke.”
“Alright, you’re really an honest child. This is your dedication tree. You can plant it anywhere outside.”
Lin Xuan took the dedication tree. Then, the manager took out eight sets of school uniforms. There were eight sets of school uniforms for spring, autumn, winter, summer, training, and for battle. “If it’s damaged, you can make an appointment to collect a new one.”
“Alright, all my work here is done. I wish you good luck!”
“Weirdo.”
Outside the door, Lin Qingming was talking to a young man. When he saw Lin Xuan come out, he waved his hand, “He will be your class teacher for the next three years of high school. If there’s anything you need, you can find him. Lin Xuan, I still have things to attend to, so I’ll go back to work first.”
With that, he turned into a black shadow and disappeared!
