Luke sat on the shuttle bus headed to the Olu Academy.
As she boarded the bus, she noticed the Imperial spies chasing after her, perfect timing.
The appearance of Qing Kong was enough to stir up the entire Furious Wave City. Regardless of any hidden agenda the Political Affairs Department might have in the Cape District, they needed to withdraw and support the Olu Academy.
Outside the window, the cityscape flew by in a distorted manner due to spatial displacement.
When they reached a critical point, the darkness of the night was instantly replaced by daylight, and the academy bus traveled through a field filled with the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds.
At the end of the road stood a castle reminiscent of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
That was the Olu Academy.
The Olu Academy had a history of over a thousand years. Initially, it was located within Furious Wave City and was known as the Olu School of Magic. However, when the Olu mages discovered a stable subspace in Furious Wave City, they relocated the academy there.
Furious Wave City was an open port city, and its architectural style influenced the educational style of the Olu School of Magic.
The Olu School of Magic was the first in the Golden Shield Empire to establish non-magic disciplines within a magic academy and even changed its name to "Olu Academy."
In various fields such as magic, alchemy, steam, machinery, and transcendent studies, the Olu Academy stood at the forefront of the world. With its excellence and inclusiveness, the academy attracted renowned scholars from all over the world and the Empire's most outstanding students.
As the academy bus traveled along the country road, other buses picking up students appeared on the road one after another.
The day and night in the subspace were exactly opposite to the main space, and today was the first day of a new week, so Luke encountered students returning to school after spending the weekend at home.
The academy bus stopped at the square outside the academy, and soon the square was filled with students wearing uniforms.
Heidi Siko, who got off the bus, called out to the girl sitting next to Luke, "Lydia, wasn't Professor Qing Kong sitting with you? Where is she?"
Lydia looked around curiously and said, "Qing Kong? Qing Kong just got off the bus with me. How did she disappear in an instant?"
Their companions jumped around, looking for the elven professor who came with them in the crowd, but they couldn't find her.
"Stop looking. Since Professor Qing Kong came to handle the induction procedures, we will definitely see her inside the academy."
"Alright..." Heidi Siko sounded a bit disappointed.
At this time, Luke was already walking on the main road inside the Olu Academy.
In fact, if it weren't for attracting the attention of the Imperial spies, Luke had many ways to enter the subspace where the Olu Academy was located. After all, this was the place for players to gather formulas and learn skills, and there were also many interesting plotlines in the academy style.
As an ancient academy, there were also many mysterious artifacts here.
Luke naturally greeted the students and faculty members along the way, behaving like an amiable visiting elven professor, and then entered the library.
The Olu Academy library was a four-story building in the style of a fortress from centuries ago. It was one of the oldest educational buildings still standing in the academy and housed many secrets and the most supernatural events.
Since it was Monday morning, there were very few people inside the library.
Luke walked down the spiral staircase in the hall to the basement and found Room 36, the hidden library.
A dim light bulb illuminated the room of about ten square meters, and the bookshelves on all sides were filled with books. However, these books were covered in dust, indicating that the librarians did not pay much attention to cleaning this place.
Luke took a book from the shelf and dusted off the dust.
"The Relationship Between Curse Art and Secret Art"
Author - Lowell Felix.
Opening the title page:
Is curse art a branch of secret art?
Is secret art a branch of curse art?
These are two interesting questions!
In the early days, after tasting the sweetness of open disciplines, the Olu Academy went through a period of accepting any academic subject. Various ideas erupted like a group of untamed horses.
As the oldest academic subject among all disciplines, secret art was highly valued by the Olu Academy at that time. Arrogant mages attempted to find the basic laws of secret art, establish a cognitive and exploitable academic tree, and end its experiential nature.
If they could achieve it, secret art would definitely become a great discipline on par with magic and alchemy.
However, among the Olu mages who were advancing rapidly in all academic fields, they stumbled upon secret art.
Especially after several secret art disasters and a group of Olu mages who became obsessed with secret art, the academy was on the verge of collapse.
As a result, after that disaster, the Olu Academy removed secret art from its academic disciplines and imposed severe restrictions on secret art research.
A large number of books and materials related to secret art were destroyed, and only some books on secret art history and analysis remained, with no book related to secret art practice.
These books were concentrated in this small Room 36, becoming a remnant of the past glory of secret art.
Luke held the book "The Relationship Between Curse Art and Secret Art" and looked at it, completely forgetting the passage of time.
Outside the Olu Academy, a large number of cars carrying Imperial spies and security officers arrived.
However, they were all blocked by the Olu mages at the academy gate.
"I am Senator Kiplin Vigeel." In the midst of the spies and security officers, Senator Vigeel stepped forward and said to the Olu mage blocking their path, "We have received precise information that a very dangerous individual has entered the Olu Academy.
For the safety of the children, please let us in for a search."
"Hello, Senator!" The Olu mage blocking the academy gate saluted Senator Vigeel before saying with great confidence, "The Olu Academy has a well-established defense force. If any dangerous individuals enter the academy, we will handle it ourselves.
Perhaps this is a good practical opportunity for the students of the academy."
Senator Vigeel said solemnly, "You have no idea how dangerous the person I mentioned is. She has killed over a hundred people in the Cape District and most likely possesses the 'Heart of the Red Dragon Nierkolon.' She also acquired all the summoning materials last night.
And now, she has entered your academy!
If you don't want the students of the academy to face an aggressive red dragon in combat, let us in!"
Upon hearing that a red dragon might have been summoned inside the academy, the Olu mage blocking the way no longer had the confidence he had just displayed in the academy's strength.
However, he still didn't immediately let them in.
"Please wait, Senator Vigeel. I will report this immediately to our dean."
"Hurry!"
Senator Vigeel urged the Olu mage and then called Bonar to his side. "The position of the Olu Academy is very special. Let me ask you again, did a female elf named Qing Kong really enter the Olu Academy?"
Bonar replied, "Yes, I and my men
personally saw her board the Olu Academy bus. The license plate number was... Olu 24. We can confirm it with the accompanying mage."
