Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: The Inexpressible Beauty

"Do you want to tour the academy? Let me take you. I've been here many times and I'm quite familiar with it," Geoff offered."Heidis Academy is one of the top ten academies in the Empire, a first-class magic academy. It's much higher in rank than Seadot Magic Academy, and there are more rules. Some places here are off-limits to outsiders," he explained.Upon hearing this, Mike nodded. "Then let's go together.""We're going too!" Warren Walter said.Martina was about to speak, but Geoff interrupted, "You stay here; you have to wait for the recipient."Martina pursed her lips, feeling a bit disappointed, but she nodded in agreement.In fact, except for Qiqi, who was a new team member and had come for the first time, the others had delivered goods to Heidis Academy several times with Geoff and were not particularly interested in the academy. The main reason they wanted to go along was because of Mike. Mike's demonstrated strength meant he couldn't remain an unknown brass-level mercenary forever, so it was very necessary to build good relationships.But for the sake of the task, she had to stay behind and wait."By the way, you mentioned earlier that Seadot also has a magic academy?" Mike asked curiously."Yes, it's called Seadot Magic Academy, but Seadot Magic Academy is only a third-rate magic academy, and it can't be compared to Heidis Magic Academy," Geoff said.Mike nodded, calculating in his mind. Perhaps he could start with Seadot Magic Academy to see what the operation of the academy was like."Up ahead is the main playground, a public place for students to exchange magic," Geoff suddenly said.Mike looked over, and wow, that playground was huge. The playgrounds at the corporate college were generally 400 and 800 meters, but the one in front of Mike had a track that was probably over a thousand meters long, quite spacious.On the beautiful lawn of the playground, many students were active. Some seemed to be picnicking, some were lying under the trees sleeping, some were playing with their pets, and some were gathered together exchanging magic.Some students raised their hands, and water balls the size of human heads condensed out of thin air. Some were showing off their condensed rock armor, and some had a visible blue airflow around them, lifting them off the ground.Watching these students freely display their magic, Mike felt envious. What he most wanted to learn was wind magic, because he had heard from the captain of the village guard that wind magic was one of the few magics that could carry people in the early stages.Mike has a considerable passion for flying. The armed helicopter he snatched from the company dogs in his previous life was his exclusive vehicle. Flying freely in the sky by himself would be more exciting than sitting in a crowded cockpit.Passing through the spacious main playground, they arrived at a building that looked like a church. Compared to a church, the building in front of them was larger and longer. Through the stained glass windows, they could see spacious classrooms, somewhat like a parliament hall, with a large platform in front and rows of seats in front of it.Mike happened to see a classroom in session. A curved long table could seat exactly five people, but the seats in the classroom were not full. There were either two people at a table or three, and the whole classroom had about forty people, sitting scattered, making it look quite spacious and not crowded.Mike felt that the seats were quite spacious; his large build could sit comfortably. He wanted to try it out. However, Geoff told him he could only watch from outside; outsiders were not allowed to enter the teaching building.For the next forty minutes or so, Mike and Qiqi followed Geoff and the others around the academy and returned to the main playground.It must be said that the academy is really big. To walk around the entire campus, forty minutes is far from enough. Unfortunately, many areas are off-limits to outsiders, so they can only admire the beauty of the academy and feel the atmosphere of the academy along the outer path.Areas like the library, the pet garden, the magic practice area, the combat training area, and the academy's magic shop were out of Mike's sight."Someday I'll be able to go to those places!" Mike said.Geoff and the others could only smile and say nothing to Mike's confidence. Having confidence is a good thing, but without magical talent, it's all in vain.Heidis Magic Academy is different from Seadot Magic Academy; it's not something you can enter just because you have money. Unless you have enough money to have a huge impact on the academy...They all agreed that with Mike's large build, he could become an outstanding warrior, but wanting to become a mage... the possibility was low.But Qiqi seemed to believe in Mike a lot. She clenched her small fists and agreed, "Then... then I want to go in too, meow!""Haha, we'll go together then," Mike said with a carefree smile."Yeah!" Qiqi was very excited, and Geoff and the others didn't dampen her enthusiasm.Just then, there was a commotion coming from the direction of the playground. Mike looked over in confusion and saw that the students were gathering in one direction, making loud noises.Curious to see what was happening, Mike went over to take a look.It seemed like the class was over, and the students were coming out of the teaching building. However, they were all voluntarily making their way to both sides, creating a wide enough path in the middle.Then, accompanied by a burst of cheers, a group of students who were different from the ordinary students slowly walked out.What was different about them?First, their clothing. The regular students' uniforms were primarily blue, while this group's clothing was mainly white with gold accents, simpler in style but highlighting their nobility and elegance.Next was their demeanor. These people all seemed proud, walking with their heads held high and a faint smile on their faces as if they were enjoying the awe of the surrounding students.Lastly, on their arms, they wore armbands that looked like a silver-white unicorn.Seeing this group of people, Mike thought of a word.Nobility!Yes, this group of people gave him a feeling of either rich or noble.But what caught Mike's attention was the leader of the group.She was a tall girl, dressed mainly in gold with silver-white accents, even more noble than the group behind her.She didn't look very old, probably about seventeen or eighteen, but she walked with elegance and dignity. The suit-like outfit fitted her figure, outlining her almost perfect figure.With each step, her golden hair seemed to be waves rippling on a golden sea, shining brightly.A silver-white thin sword hung from her waist.With her chin slightly lifted, she declared that she was a proud and confident person.Although her face was expressionless, her golden eyelashes and deep blue eyes made her look like a holy angel.Such beauty even made Mike sigh in his heart.Truly perfect!You see, the technology of the company in his previous life was quite advanced, and things like plastic surgery were no big deal.Many wasteland celebrities spent a lot of money to directly cut off their original faces to become more beautiful, even replacing them with customized facial prostheses. These highly precise faces were indistinguishable from real ones and could have almost perfect faces like those in virtual and fantasy works.As long as you were willing to spend money, you could have whatever you wanted.Therefore, Mike had seen too many beautiful women. But compared to the girl in front of him from his previous life, there was no comparison. Mike felt that comparing those flashy women with this girl was simply insulting her.Because those technological faces were ultimately fake, like faces generated by AI, even if they were beautiful and perfect, they could still be seen through as fake.Mike could even tell which female celebrities' faces were made by the same company through their facial prostheses, even if they didn't look alike.But this girl in front of him, her natural beauty surpassed the so-called beauty of technology by far, too much.She had a very recognizable face, with different angles but equally perfect features.Even if you only glanced at her once, you would never forget her.
