As per tradition, the party following the opening ceremony would last till late into the night.
On this day, Dormitory Supervisor Uncle Ni Wu would particularly be generous, delaying the closing time until midnight, allowing the newcomers to revel in their day of welcome.
This was Nicholas's third attendance at the opening ceremony.
From his first time feeling nervous and uneasy, to his second rendition of awkwardness and helplessness, to his current state standing beside these youthful faces, his gaze elusive, his expression somewhat absent-minded.
In fact, this was his first time attending the opening ceremony in the ranks of Jiuyou Academy.
The first time he had been part of the Alpha Academy; the second time, he was with the nearby Starry Sky Academy.
He even remembered clearly how at last year's bookmaking event held by Starry Sky Academy's veterans, he earned a month's living expenses - a hefty gold bean.
