The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

Laughter wafted out from behind the opened building doors.

The older students warmly welcomed the new students.

Not only the new students of the Knights College, but also the new students of the other three colleges entered the venue one after another.

The ceiling and walls of the auditorium were shimmering, reflecting the flowers and balloons.

Not only Dekan, but even Cornelia, who had been by his side, felt a little dizzy and rubbed her eyes.

It was more glamorous than expected.

Dekan looked around, a sense of ease and joy welling up inside him.

Huh?

How did she end up following me?

Dekan suddenly realized that Cornelia seemed to have walked naturally beside him.

Why do you only follow me?

"Easy." It's only easy to communicate with you.

"Are you treating me like a translator?"

"..."

Cornelia was silent for a moment, as if she had finally managed to gather her thoughts, before saying, "It's 'friend'."

"Well......"

Dekan sensed the pure kindness.

Since that's the case, let's try to get along well from now on.

He extended his hand to Cornelia in a very open and generous manner.

Upon seeing this, Cornelia's expression remained unchanged, but her movements became noticeably lighter.

She quickly tried to grasp Dekan's hand.

However, Dekan suddenly became alert, broke out in a cold sweat, and withdrew his hand!

Dekan: "Strength".

Cornelia: "Sorry."

Cornelia seemed very excited and wanted to hold his hand tightly just now.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have suffered at least a comminuted fracture!

If Cornelia were to break his hand, his career might be over!

Cornelia seemed afraid to exert any more force, and simply placed her hand next to Dekan's, letting him hold her hand.

Relieved, Dekan, still shaken, reached out again and grasped Cornelia's small hand that was dangling in mid-air.

Their friendship experienced a minor setback, but it was eventually successfully formed.

It must be said that Cornelia's little hands are still very soft.

Dekan couldn't understand where that terrifying power, which sent chills down his spine even through the air, came from.

......

Welcome to Hevenlitt Academy of Magic!

Joyful music echoed in the magnificent hall as the deep red curtain, as soft and silky as down, slowly parted.

The person who took the stage was a rather elderly man.

"I am Principal Riderson Arsu, and I sincerely congratulate you all on joining us."

"I hope that you will not be lazy or slack on the hopeful and bright path of life, but will make good use of these three years to study hard. The future of the kingdom needs you."

"Alright, I won't ramble on anymore. Let's all enjoy ourselves today!"

Principal Ledersen delivered a brief address.

"Ooh!"

The first-grade students cheered loudly.

A young man, presumably the host, ran out from the left side of the curtain, brushed past the principal, and loudly announced, "The entrance ceremony begins!"

The entrance ceremony reached its climax amidst cheers from the students.

011 Dekan's Gang

Back in the classroom, everyone was still excitedly discussing the entrance ceremony.

Compared to the performances and dances, what excited them most was the drama that ran throughout the regular entrance ceremony.

The play is adapted from the main storyline of the sixth-tier shadow world that the college graduates conquered last year.

The story took many twists and turns, and finally, with the cooperation of several players, a touching and tear-jerking ending was achieved.

This play clearly inspired the freshmen's fighting spirit to become stronger.

They also look forward to the day when they can explore the higher-level shadow worlds.

The classroom became much noisier than when we first gathered in the morning.

Everyone seemed to have let down their guard and gradually started to get to know people they liked.

Some people also started to talk to Dekan and Cornelia.

They could understand Dekan's speech, but not Cornelia's.

It seems that Dekan always needs to translate for her.

In the end, everyone confirmed that both of them were much more approachable than they had imagined.

If you disregard the cards Dekan uses, he's just a perfectly normal teenager.

Cornelia may seem a bit aloof, but she doesn't put on airs.

"Thank you."

Cornelia said to Dekan.

"You're welcome."

Dekan smiled helplessly.

Cornelia was very happy.

Since arriving in the Kingdom of Norton, this was the first time she had communicated with everyone so efficiently.

The two were still sitting in the back row of the classroom, but the "boundary" between them and the other students seemed less pronounced.

Although it's Class A, it's still the Knights Academy, also known as the Warriors Academy, so not many students there are fond of studying.

The classroom felt like a prison to them.

However, they noticed.

Dekan, who was ranked first, was engrossed in reading a book.

Cornelia, who came in second, also sat quietly without saying a word.

She seemed to try to look at the materials the school had sent out, but quickly closed them.

For some reason, other students gradually began to follow suit.

The atmosphere in the classroom gradually returned to calm, and everyone's noisy hearts seemed to quiet down.

So this is the mindset of a strong person.

They felt they had understood.

When Professor Arnold returned to the classroom, he was taken aback by the bizarre sight.

Along the way, the other three classes were making a lot of noise, but here it's like a library.

Professor Arno took a deep breath, walked onto the podium, and began to explain the various precautions and teaching system of the academy.

In fact, the academy had already issued written materials, the contents of which were clear at a glance.

But it seems there are always idiots who don't read it every year, so as the class advisor, he has to emphasize it again.

The Knights Academy has only four compulsory courses in the first semester of the first year.

Fighting.

arithmetic.

Common knowledge about the world of film.

Basic theory of magic cards.

These four subjects are taken together by students in Class A, and they will be automatically registered.

The remaining courses are optional, and students can even choose from courses offered by the other three colleges that interest them.

The Alchemy Institute offered a particularly wide range of courses, including psychology, economics, medicine, and herbalism.

However, for students at the Alchemy Institute, these courses might be a nightmare.

They will be required to learn most of it.

After all, this group of people doesn't need to run dungeons.

Most students at the Knights College do not choose many academic courses.

They would go directly to the adventure zone to hunt or explore the shadow world to earn credits.

Elective courses are taken with students from other classes, and must be decided within two weeks.

For the first two weeks, you can freely audit elective courses, and register or cancel at will.

Dekan is interested in economics-related subjects, as well as some courses in magical engineering.

But he doesn't plan to choose too many, since he still specializes in card making.

If you don't have enough credits, you can just play through the Shadow World a few times later.
