Five days later, it was finally time for the opening of the school at Laiya College.
Early in the morning, we arrived at the college. Rank and Lan Ya went to take the entrance exam, while Nick and Qin Si reported to their respective classes. Tuke, who was already in the fifth grade, did not need to do so. Now he was only one graduation assessment away from graduation, so he was responsible for leading Philiya and Alice to the apartment.
"Fortunately you wore a veil, otherwise it would have caused chaos."
Looking at the bustling crowd, I joked to Philiya.
Although she had put on a veil before getting off the carriage, Philiya's graceful figure still exuded amazing beauty, attracting the attention of countless students.
In recent days, I have spent my true energy every night to help her practice during the dual cultivation. Now she is more charming than before, noble and elegant with a variety of styles. Even Tuke and others who meet every day are staring at her, let alone these students who meet for the first time.
"Then I think you have to wear a veil, look at those female students, they can't even walk because of them, I shouldn't let you wear so handsome today." Hearing my praise, Philiya was very sweet in her heart, but she fought back.
She has become much more playful now because I tease her from time to time every day. Indeed, I am wearing a plain white robe today, although it is not very gorgeous, but it is so coordinated with my elegant temperament.
Besides, I have sword eyebrows and star eyes, and I am elegant, so it is easy to attract the attention of some little girls.
"Am I really handsome?" I strode with my head held high, with a proud look on my face, "Why didn't Turk and the others find it?"
"Brother is the most handsome," Alice agreed happily, with a childish face full of approval, while Turk and the others next to him looked like they were about to vomit.
"Hey!" I happily picked up little Alice and said with a smile: "Alice is still the most discerning." I was disdainful of Xiaoyu who covered her ears on her shoulders and looked unbearable.
Seeing us, one big and one small, playing tricks there, Philiya chuckled and said: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, go to the dean to handle the procedures! Rank and others are about to start the test."
"Okay! Everyone, do your own things, and meet in the apartment after the work is done. Alice, you follow your mother and choose the best room first. Brother will come to you in a while." Knowing that Alice is now unusually dependent on me, I especially instructed her.
Fortunately, Alice is still very sensible. Although she is not happy to leave me, she still follows her mother obediently.
I came to the principal's office alone, and after a brief report, I walked in with the principal's permission.
As soon as I entered the principal's office, I found that in addition to Principal Siskaya, there was also a beautiful woman.
She looked about 27 or 28 years old, with an oval face, soft eyebrows, bright eyes like gems, a slender and straight nose, and a rosy little mouth that made people want to kiss her.
Her skin was flawless and white, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her tight white dress not only showed her curvy figure, but also exuded a kind of elegant breath.
It seemed that she was arguing with the principal, but I didn't use my spiritual sense along the way, so I didn't know what they were arguing about.
But when they saw me coming in, they immediately stopped arguing.
"Principal, I'm here!" I said lightly, bowing to the principal.
Just a slight look, and then quickly retracted my gaze from the woman.
But I didn't expect that just this time had already caused dissatisfaction from the female tutor.
"It's Edmund, you came at the right time, this is Melina, the water magic tutor, you should get to know each other." Principal Siskaya introduced with a smile.
"Hello, Teacher Melina. I'm Edmund. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be responsible for the management of the library in the future." I stretched out my right hand calmly. After walking around the continent for a while, I still understand the basic etiquette.
"Edmund? Are you the librarian recruited by the dean without taking an exam?"
Looking at me carefully, Melina said unhappily, completely ignoring my raised right hand, but muttering in her heart: Don't I even have the qualifications for you to take a second look?
"I think it should be me." Seeing her unhappy look, I silently put my hand down and answered calmly.
"It's best if it's you," Melina said with a smile. The rapid change of expression really surprised me. "Laya Academy is the best magic and martial arts academy in the whole continent. If you want to become a teacher in the academy, you must undergo strict assessment. So, I think you must pass the test to decide whether you are qualified to stay in the academy." Melina looked solemn.
I looked at Principal Siskaya in confusion, but found that he was waving his hands at me. It seemed that this was definitely not his idea, so I replied calmly: "It seems that it is the principal's intention to ask me to join the academy! I don't think I need to be assessed to stay here."
I have full confidence in passing any assessment, but I am not interested in wasting time on it.
"You," Melina said angrily: "Don't you dare to prove your strength to the students? Or do you simply not have the strength to stay in the academy, so you dare not accept the assessment?"
She is really straightforward, and she will not succeed and then provoke me.
With a slight smile, I said calmly: "The purpose of my coming to Laiya Academy is to be able to find the information I need in the library, so as to answer several questions that I have been unable to figure out. I have never cared too much about whether I can stay in the academy, so there is no need to prove anything to anyone."
Seeing that I have always been indifferent, Melina was speechless for a while. As the granddaughter of Principal Xiskaya and one of the four beautiful teachers in the academy, the boys had already agreed to her requests before she could even say them. Moreover, it was like giving me a chance to show off. Who would have thought that I would not buy into her at all? She was so angry that she could not speak for a while. She could only say angrily, "Coward! I will know if you have the ability." She turned around and left with an angry face.
I looked at Principal Xiskaya in confusion and said, "Principal, what's going on?"
Although I didn't care too much about making such an enemy, it was not a good thing to get involved with such a person for no reason.
Principal Siskaya smiled awkwardly and replied, "She is my granddaughter. She came to trouble me this morning because she was dissatisfied with me letting you manage the library. But now it seems that she will trouble you in the future. By the way, she is the captain of the patrol team of Linxiang Apartment."
I looked at the treacherous old man opposite me depressedly and said, "Why did you arrange that apartment for me? It seems that you are deliberately causing trouble for me! I don't think you would arrange the best apartment in the school for someone you just met for the first time for no reason!"
Principal Siskaya silently chanted a few spells, waved his hand, and a stream of energy enveloped the room. Then he asked me to sit down and said, "I have isolated this room with the wind barrier, and others will not hear our conversation. I swear in the name of the God of Creation that the content of our conversation today will never be revealed to anyone."
Seeing his serious look, I had to sit down quietly.
"In fact," Dean Siskaya continued, "the school has carefully investigated you. I knew about your duel with Tek in the General's Mansion shortly after it ended. And your guidance to Tek and others has benefited even Tek's mentor, Sword Saint Viari. I see hope for a breakthrough in martial arts in you, so I want to keep you in the school."
"After meeting you, I found that I couldn't see through your strength at all. At your age, this is simply impossible. So, I boldly guessed that you might not be a human. And it just so happened that on the night you came to Osdre, the Prime Minister's Mansion was invaded. The intruder entered the treasure pavilion but did not kill any guards, and only took away the dragon. Crystal, even the magic core and artifact equipment of the sacred beast Hydra that were placed together were not taken away. It is really incredible. "
"It is difficult for even the Sword God to enter the treasure house of the Prime Minister's Mansion silently and take away the dragon crystal without damaging the magic barrier. This also made the Prime Minister's family dare not make it public, but I was fortunate to know about this matter. "
"Adding all these things together, I guess you are a dragon. "
With a slight smile, I admired: "Ginger is really spicier, but if I am really a member of the dragon clan, then you should know that I have absolutely no good feelings for the human race. Do you dare to keep me in the academy? "
Since he can guess my identity, I will naturally not deliberately conceal it. At worst, I will change my appearance and go to other schools.
Principal Siskaya said firmly: "If you hadn't made friends with Tek and showed mercy to the men who hid the treasure in Viersa's house, I probably wouldn't dare to keep you in the academy, let alone reveal your identity like now. But since you can rescue Nick and others, teach Tek martial arts, and are not tempted by the artifact in front of you, why can't I ask you to teach more students."
Shaking my head, I smiled and said, "What a pity! I am neither a member of the Dragon Clan nor will I help you teach students. Your calculations are completely in vain."
"Why? Since you can teach the Tek brothers, why can't you teach more students in the school?" Principal Siskaya asked anxiously.
"The reason why I told Nick and them some martial arts principles is just because I want to teach my wife to practice martial arts. They just benefited from my wife. As for Tek, I never taught him anything at all. Those principles were told to him by Nick and have nothing to do with me." I said coldly.
"This..." Principal Siskaya was originally full of hope to persuade me, but he didn't expect this situation, and he was speechless for a while.
"The reason why I came to Laiya College was just to look up some information in the library and solve some of my own problems, but not to teach any students. If you let me stay in the school with this purpose, then I think you can save this thought." I said lightly, with an unspeakable firmness and determination in my tone.
"Why? You can be friends with Tek and others, you can also marry a human woman, and you can treat a human little girl as your own child. All this shows that you have no prejudice against the human race, so why can't you teach martial arts to the students of the academy?" Principal Siskaya said absentmindedly, obviously still thinking that I am a dragon.
"Of course I have no prejudice against the human race, because I am a member of the human race." I smiled and said, "But all the history I know about the human race shows the greed, endless desires, and betrayal of the human race. Therefore, I don't think it is a good thing for the human race to be strong."
"You are a human?" Principal Siskaya said in surprise: "Impossible, the human race will never have such strength as you at your age."
I shook my head and said, "This is the fact, and there is no need for me to lie. If you think I can still stay in the library, you should help me arrange it now. As for the apartment, I can move out at any time."
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Principal Siskaya smiled bitterly and said, "No need, the strong should be respected, I will take you to the library now!"
