Chapter 10: Before Going to School

Soon, the wound turned into a slightly pink area

The Martial Arts Department offers foundational courses, tactical skills courses, demonstration classes, and practice sessions where students can choose to learn from their respective instructors based on different weapons.

Miss, Miss?" Fis awkwardly reminded a few times from the side, finally managing to bring back her clear spirit

Cough, cough. Mingxi's face turned red; being nearly thirty, he considered himself quite old among these young ones. Yet, seeing something adorable still made him feel all warm and fuzzy inside. How embarrassing, how embarrassing.

She pointed to a sign floating in mid-air on the right, with the words "Ministry of Magic" glowing in golden light, and said, "I will go test my magical power first; I want to learn magic"

The Dolong Magic and Martial Arts Academy is primarily divided into the Department of Magic and the Department of Martial Arts. The Department of Magic offers foundational courses, courses on the history of magic, and additionally, practice classes where students learn magic from corresponding instructors based on their affinity for different elements

I did not expect that they still have practical uses, which are, arrogant, deserving of a beating, to pave the way

Before they arrived, the butler's son, Feis, had already asked Mingxi to disembark from the carriage. Mingxi had long heard the bustling voices outside and initially thought it was quite normal for the first day of enrollment to be so lively. However, upon actually stepping down from the carriage, he was still taken aback.

As soon as the words were spoken, the tragedy had already occurred

Although the humanoid races belong to a minority, humans still constitute a significant proportion here. However, when one occasionally sees a pair of horns protruding from the crowd, or when certain areas appear spacious despite being crowded due to the presence of dwarves, it must be said that the scene is quite bizarre

Having spoken, he made a gesture without revealing any emotion. The several guards who had been accompanying the carriage rushed to the front with lightning speed, one of them shouted: "Quick, make way, make way!" A few others directly moved forward to clear the obstruction, instantly knocking over many people.

Moreover, it is about paving the way for oneself

"Miss, are you going to the Martial Arts Department or the Magic Department?" Fei slightly bowed, possessing his father's caution and competence, serving the young master of the prime minister's family with a silent yet capable demeanor. Although he was only in his thirties, he appeared somewhat aged, which made him seem even more mature

The young man felt quite embarrassed, turning his head to bow to Mingxi: "Thank you, your handkerchief..."

Are you their master? They ran into my brother! Yet they refuse to apologize! What do you suggest we do? The Minotaur spoke while snorting, clearly feeling as if she were conversing with a train

Clarify and proceed forward

She turned her head in frustration to look at Feis, enduring a barrage of disdainful gazes, and said, "What is this all about?"

With clear eyes shining, I gazed at the scene before me, even reluctant to move a step forward

Although the Tauren are hot-tempered, they are generally a simple and honest race. They did not get angry at the little girl's tone and turned to lead her back the way they came.

The young man looked at Mingxi in surprise, and just as he was about to retract his leg, he was grabbed and pulled out by the Minotaur squatting beside him, fully exposing the wound. The Minotaur turned to the little girl and asked, "Miss, are you able to perform your divine magic now?"

Mingxi was fed up with the red lights for credit requirements in college and had no desire to take any elective courses. However, Channing, for some unknown reason, wanted to study military tactics. Upon learning this, Carter urgently requested that Mingxi also enroll in that course, as it was attended by many high-ranking officials' children. Carter was concerned that someone like Channing might cause trouble in class.

When she reached the last sentence, she suddenly recalled a money-scamming tactic from her hometown called "pèngcí". She shook her head, resolutely dismissing this bizarre thought. How naive this other world is; how could such things exist? She felt she was being too sordid.

Additionally, there is the Alchemy Department, which can be taken as an elective or a major, each with different standards

Channing's experience was gained during the holidays and through books. By the time he returns, after finishing a series of tasks, a new semester will be about to begin

This magic ... ... will it be like antibiotics? Clearly wanting to speak but hesitating, I think it's better to just refrain from using it myself

Standing dazed by the side of the carriage, it felt very unreal

Mingxi almost instinctively looked at the work-study regulations as soon as she got started, until Channing's strange inquiry made her realize that she didn't need to do this at all; she was already the daughter of a chancellor, so why would she worry about tuition fees

Such a scene of enrollment will never be witnessed again in this lifetime on Earth

The wound has disappeared, and the young man stood up awkwardly, first bowing to the young woman and saying, "Thank you very much"

There are still numerous elective courses available, such as Military Tactics, Continental History, and Etiquette

Fes had long been aware of Mingxi's intention to go to the Martial Arts Department, but he had no objections to Mingxi's last-minute change of mind, still bowing elegantly and saying, "As you wish, Miss"

The strength of the Duolong Magic Martial Arts Academy lies in its strict admissions process. Although the expensive tuition fees are difficult to address, there are many preferential treatments for outstanding students from common backgrounds, which can significantly alleviate the financial burden of education for these students

Indeed, those who bumped into you are just... um! Before the Minotaur could finish speaking, a chubby boy standing nearby covered his mouth. The chubby boy smiled at Mingxi and said, "Hehe, it's all in the past now."

At first, she believed that the role of these guards was more decorative than practical, merely a tool for the wealthy to show off.

Stop, let them stop

"It's just a small scratch?" Mingxi thought for a moment, "This is indeed not a serious injury, but it is something we caused. Butler Fis, could you find someone to bandage it up?"

On the first day of enrollment, Mingxi went to the Duolong Magic Martial Arts Academy

"Please, priest? This..." The Minotaur frowned. He had been here for quite some time and had yet to see a single priest, which made it clear that this steward was somewhat overbearing.

"No, no, no, it was my person who bumped into you; I am the one who should apologize. Please don't take it to heart." Mingxi quickly intervened, handing the handkerchief to Feisi, who had just arrived.

Feyth stepped forward, intending to reveal her chancellor's badge, but was blocked by Mingxi. She sincerely approached the Minotaur and bowed deeply, urgently saying: "I am so sorry, I truly apologize! I had no idea these guys would act this way... I originally planned to squeeze past myself... Is your brother injured? Where is he? Does he need medical expenses?"

Fes was in a daze. He had followed the young masters of the prime minister's family for many years, and even the most good-natured eldest and second young masters would not speak so kindly in such situations. At this moment, he felt somewhat at a loss and stammered, "Then, I will send someone to invite a light priest. It's just a minor injury; a healing light will suffice."

Suddenly, the surroundings were filled with voices of complaint, and those who had been bumped into looked discontentedly at the arrogant guards, casting a disdainful glance at Mingxi.

Thus, Mingxi had already chosen elective courses even before declaring a major.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that this injury was far from the nonchalant description given by the Minotaur. Clarity washed over me, and I felt an overwhelming sense of shame for having thought they were just trying to scam us. I quickly took out a handkerchief, crouched down, and began to wipe the blood off the boy's calf: "Don't touch it yet, let's first clean off the dirt. Oh my goodness, this is not just a little scrape; I am truly sorry."

Mingxi did not see any significance in inviting a priest; to her, it was much like inviting a doctor. She nodded and said, "Then let's invite one, thank you, Fis."

I finally understand what is meant by being fierce in appearance but weak at heart -- these bodyguards just made her feel embarrassed, and now she wishes she could find a crack in the ground to hide in

Following the sound, I saw a petite girl. She had slightly wavy brown hair and large, watery dark green eyes, which were strikingly beautiful. Her lips were slightly pursed, and she held a snow-white wand in her hand. At the top of the wand was a magic crystal the size of a salted duck egg, emitting a faint milky white glow, clearly indicating it was no ordinary item

Fes let out a bitter laugh, nodded slightly, and called over a guard to whisper to him, but then he heard a voice from the side: "No need, I will do it."

Elves, orcs, humans, and even goblins, gnomes, and some clearly unnamed species are all gathered here in a cluster

He { doesn't need it anymore = = } threw the two pale-faced guards onto the ground, while two other guards followed closely behind him, their faces filled with anger, yet fear flickered in their eyes

The round, adorable bear ears of the bear tribe that captivate the hearts of Earth girls, the upright, pointed cat ears of the cat tribe girls, and the elegantly beautiful drooping ears of the fox tribe...

The phrase "a sea of people" can metaphorically describe the scene at the school gate in terms of quantity, but it cannot be used as a noun.

The Minotaur was clearly taken aback; he had prepared himself to be insulted by these powerful figures upon seeing the clear display of status. However, to his surprise, this girl, who appeared to be of extraordinary nobility, showed no airs at all, leaving him somewhat at a loss: "Uh, it's not a serious injury, it's just that my brother isn't in very good health... uh... just a scrape."

Of course! The Tauren puffed out his chest, "I am an outstanding member of the tribe, Brodo!"

Fei Si bowed slightly and said: "This is the guard sent to you by Young Master Channing. He was once his right-hand man, and now he is entirely at your service, naturally to perform their duties."

However, the girl paid little attention to it and instead looked at the staff with great delight: "Ha! It really is useful!" After saying this, she turned around and ran away

Enjoy it

In the past, her grandfather always advocated for self-reliance. Although her family was well-off, she was accustomed to working part-time while studying. Now, she truly finds it difficult to adjust to this situation

Observe how those guards skillfully carve a path through the throngs of people, Mingxi swayed slightly, genuinely feeling faint

Soon, they ventured deep into the crowd, where a slender figure was seated on the ground. His head was lowered, obscuring his features, but his brown, straw-like hair was visible. His somewhat tattered long robe was lifted, revealing thin calves, one of which had a significant scrape.

Are we to enter the Red Apple Paradise from now on... The clarity is quite melancholic

Clear astonishment made one want to scream; even though it was already known that this was a common magic in this world, one still found it hard to close their mouth in amazement at the sight of the wound healing rapidly

Where is the injured person? Take me there! She spoke with a slightly commanding tone, pointing her staff at the minotaur.

Looking clearly yet helplessly at the imposing and arrogant sign of the Martial Arts Department on the left ahead, I noticed that most of the crowd gathered there consisted of muscular men. Although there were also quite a few slender and agile individuals, as well as several beastmen from agile races such as the Cat and Fox tribes, there were very few women present

A majestic minotaur approached with a thudding sound from the direction of the guards, holding one of them in one hand. His nose, slightly larger than that of an average person, flared as he breathed, resembling a train rushing forward, while his golden horns gleamed under the light.

This clear-minded woman in her thirties, who is still single, once again donned the youthful guise of a student and entered the wicked realm of school

In my youth, I read a considerable amount of Western fantasy, and my yearning for magic clearly surpassed that for martial skills. Although that scatterbrained deity had long declared her to be inept at magic, Mingxi still remained undeterred.

Of course! The little girl slightly raised her head, then took out her staff. She pointed the tip of the staff at the boy's wound, murmuring incantations. The magic crystal at the top of the staff grew increasingly bright, gradually forming a halo of light that slowly covered the wound.

Mingxi let out a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed, and smiled at the chubby boy: "Hello, I am Mingxi, here to attend school. Are you here for the same reason?"
