Even though it sounded quite complicated, Yin Zhu's memory was always exceptional, as he completely memorized the process of the competition. In his heart, he began to feel a little helpless. If it was just him participating, it wouldn't matter, but now he needed five people. Was being a Divine Music Master really that inferior? Just now, Xueling, Lanxi, and Haiyang were all willing to support his participation, but besides Haiyang, Xueling and Lanxi's spiritual power were obviously not strong, not to mention there was still a person missing. No wonder Roland had looked at him with such a gaze. Participating in this Freshman Contest was this difficult.
No, he had to participate no matter what. Even if it was just him alone, he still had to go. Thinking of this, he asked: "Feschera, what are the rules during the competition? Is it a best-of-five series?"
Feschera replied: "This can be chosen. There are three ways, which are chosen after consultation between the two sides of the competition. Best-of-five is one method, and there is also the option for team battles, five versus five. As for the final method, it begins with the first match. The winning side continues to compete until they are defeated. If one has enough power, they can even accept the opponent's challenges in succession. However, you need to defeat all of the opponents' students to be deemed the victor."
"Great, that's better still." After hearing the last method, Ye Yinzhu ended up feeling much more settled. This was his own matter, he would let himself handle it alone. At worst, he would just defeat the opponents one by one. At this moment, he had yet to realize the kind of strength he would face from his opponents.
The Milan Magic Martial Academy was indeed gigantic. From the registration site to the mixed dormitory area, both of them ran for over half an hour. What surprised Feschera was that even he was slightly panting, but looking at Yin Zhu, he seemed perfectly fine, his complexion unchanged.
"This is it, room 623." Feschera pointed at one of the rooms among a row of bungalows. As expected, a placard bearing the number 623 was hung up.
"Thank you, Feschera." Yin Zhu expressed his gratitude.
Feschera chuckled and said, "No need for thanks. But if you truly want to thank me, make sure to include me in any activities involving the beauties from your department in the future! Idol."
"Oh, alright." Ye Yinzhu didn't catch onto the true meaning behind Feschera's words, but feeling that he was a good person, he subconsciously agreed.
After Feschera left, Yin Zhu arrived at room 623 alone and unlocked the door. As soon as he stepped inside the room that would be his dormitory from now on, he saw a small figure busily cleaning.
As a working student dormitory, this room was really pitifully small. Inside the room was a bathroom only able to fit one person at a time. The so-called hallway was only large enough for two people to sit down. As for the inner bedroom, after placing two beds and one table, there was virtually no empty ground left. The small figure was busily tidying up. His movements were very quick. His simple, gray clothes looked very plain, but incredibly clean. He was only about as tall as Yin Zhu's chest. His gray clothes obviously weren't tailored, a bit oversized. His hands were very nimble, but extremely agile. Room 623 was quite small, but most of the area had already been cleaned meticulously by him.
"Hello." Yin Zhu greeted the small figure.
Hearing someone come in, the person turned around. A handsome but somewhat pale face appeared in front of Yin Zhu. His brown hair rested on his shoulders, his large eyes full of spirit. However, his frail physique and unhealthy complexion appeared as if he was malnourished no matter how one looked. When he first saw Yin Zhu, he was completely frozen, not noticing that he had even dropped the cloth from his hand.
Thinking he had startled the other person, Yin Zhu hurriedly said, "I also live in this room. Are we roommates?"
"Huh?" The small student finally reacted, quickly responding, "Yes! The place is small, but please come in." As he bent down to pick up the cloth that had fallen onto the ground, a look of surprise shone within his spirited eyes.
Ye Yinzhu walked into the inner bedroom. He didn't carry any luggage, just placing the uniform he had just received onto an empty bed, "Hello, my name is Ye Yinzhu." While he spoke, he stretched a hand towards the small student.
"Hello, call me Sura. Ah! Your hand." As Sura clasped Ye Yinzhu's hand, he immediately noticed he only had four fingers.
Ye Yinzhu dismissively said, "It's nothing, I was born like this. I only have eight fingers." As he spoke, he extended his other hand as well, waving it in front of Sura.
"It's a good thing it's just the little finger, it doesn't affect anything." Sura revealed a small smile, "What kind of student are you?"
Ye Yinzhu said, "I'm from the Divine Music Department."
"Divine Music Department? You're a Divine Music Master?" Sura stared at Yin Zhu in astonishment.
Ye Yinzhu laughed bitterly, "Why is it that everyone is so shocked to hear I am from the Divine Music Department?"
Sura chuckled, "I guess everyone would be shocked to see a male Divine Music Master. After all, it is an unusual profession."
Ye Yinzhu laughed, "At least you're kind, they all say that being a Divine Music Master is a chicken ribs kind of magic. Oh, you're very diligent, the room has all been cleaned up. Is there anything else you need my help with?"
Sura immediately shook his head, "There's nothing else, I can take care of it myself. You see, this place is so small. But, when I came in, it was very dirty. How about this, you give me a Silver Coin."
"A Silver Coin?" Ye Yinzhu was taken aback.
Sura awkwardly smiled, "Yes! In this world, everything requires money. After all, it took a lot of effort for me to clean up."
Ye Yinzhu finally understood. Looking at Sura's malnourished appearance, he didn't say much, taking out ten percent of his wealth - one Gold Coin - and handing it to Sura, "This is all I have, I don't have any Silver Coins."
With one brush of his hand, Sura grabbed the Gold Coin from Yin Zhu's palm. His gaze at the Gold Coin was filled with intoxication and greed, "A Gold Coin is obviously better. How about this, I'll take care of the dormitory's cleaning chores from now on. Let's treat this as you paying me three months' worth of wages. Also, since you're also a working student, how about we don't go to the cafeteria from now on? We can prepare our own food in the dorm. I'm great at cooking. You just need to give me three Gold Coins a month. One month's worth of meals at the academy's cafeteria will definitely not be enough with less than ten Gold Coins." As he spoke, he raised three fingers towards Yin Zhu, appearing extremely excited.
"Oh, alright." Ye Yinzhu pulled out three more Gold Coins and handed them to Sura. "Sura, what's your profession?"
"Me? I'm from the Assassin Department. It's also a somewhat unusual department. You see, with my body, wouldn't an assassin be most suitable?"
"An assassin, huh!" Yin Zhu couldn't help but feel some envy towards Sura. He'd heard from his grandfather how being an assassin was an incredibly difficult profession. During cultivation, the assassin doesn't protect themselves, but completely attacks, relying on stealth and other special abilities to achieve their objectives. Once they launch their attack, they either succeed with a one-hit kill or perish themselves. With Sura's slim and agile physique, he really was well-suited for this profession.
"Will your Assassin Department participate in the Freshman Contest?"
Sura looked at Yin Zhu in surprise, "Are you joking? Since when do assassins openly compete with others on the stage? That wouldn't be an assassin anymore. Don't tell me you're planning to participate."
Ye Yinzhu nodded, "Yes! I've decided to participate."
