The establishment of Jiuyou Academy dates back a long time. It stood staunchly atop Buji Island before the first university had even hung up its signboard.
Equally ancient, apart from the Book Mountain Library with its extensive collection, is the vast Lin Zhong Lake.
Countless students clad in red robes have left their marks on these waters.
Duels under the cover of darkness would end with the discarded remnants of magical equipment in the lake, broken-hearted wizards would throw their love token trinkets into the lake's heart, and of course, there are scores of objects accidentally falling into the water from wizards boating on the lake.
'No need to pick up things that fall into the lake'.
This is a warning often heard by many newcomers to the academy.
Because Lin Zhong Lake is a reservation of the Fishman tribe. And these Fishmen, who increasingly see their territories diminishing, defend their homeland to such an obsessive degree.
