“Yes, I come from another city district of the Dragon Race, a bit far from here.”
“I see. Still, thank you for taking me in yesterday.”
Yiluo Enya took the initiative to hold Zhu Qiu’s hand, revealing a cute smile.
“N-No need to thank me.”
Zhu Qiu’s face flushed, and she quickly turned her head away.
‘Geez, we only met yesterday, is it necessary to be this enthusiastic?’
As time passed, the line gradually shortened until only a few people remained.
The little boy standing in front of Yiluo Enya had a pair of red dragon horns, just like the dean, and appeared to be a Fire Dragon as well.
Under Weida’s guidance, he opened his right hand, touched the crystal, and slowly infused magic power.
After the magic power was infused, the transparent crystal turned a faint red.
Weida glanced down and then shook his head helplessly.
“Fire Element Affinity: Weak, Tier 0. Next.”
Now it was Yiluo Enya’s turn.
She also imitated the previous person’s action, placing her hand on it and infusing magic power.
In an instant, the transparent crystal turned emerald green, continuously emitting a dazzling light.
Yiluo Enya was stunned when she saw this, and Weida was also stunned.
But when he saw that this student was an Elf, he no longer doubted.
He calmly read out the information on the crystal: “Grass Element, Affinity: Extreme, Tier 2. Next.”
The Elf race’s extreme Grass Element Affinity is innate, so it’s normal.
But if it were a member of the Dragon Race, it would be extraordinary.
It’s just a pity that the other party is an Elf; if it were a Dragon, it might be possible for the dean to personally train them.
Having been in line for so long, Zhu Qiu’s mind had long since wandered off somewhere, to the point that she didn’t even know it was her turn.
Weida saw that the new student wearing a hat didn’t step forward, so he impatiently slapped the table and called out again:
“Next! If you don’t come forward for the test, I’ll consider you having given up.”
Zhu Qiu’s pupils finally focused, and she snapped back to reality.
She quickly stepped forward and placed her hand on it.
She didn’t know what her magic talent was like after becoming a member of the Dragon Race.
But she came here to learn swordsmanship.
Although the swordsmanship configuration might be terrible, this was the Dragon Race—why not give it a try?
Maybe even if it’s bad, it’s still better than the Human Race’s.
To prevent herself from being selected for the magic category, Zhu Qiu played a little trick: she deliberately did not release magic power, so that she would be judged as having an Element Affinity of 0, and ultimately succeed in learning swordsmanship.
Weida stared at the crystal for a long time, but there was no reaction from the crystal.
He couldn’t help but ask Zhu Qiu:
“New student, hurry up and release your magic power. Don’t dawdle.”
“I’ve already released it.”
Zhu Qiu replied calmly.
“Released? Impossible! Even if your talent is terrible, to the extreme, the crystal would still have some reaction. There’s no way the current situation would happen. Come on, you’re the last one. Don’t waste time.”
“I really did release it, Dean.”
Zhu Qiu put on a look of innocence.
“You’re joking, right? How can releasing magic power not produce a reaction? As a member of the Dragon Race, magic power is innate. Are you saying you have no magic power?”
“Yes.”
“Yes, my foot.”
After a moment of agitation, Weida quickly calmed down and thought carefully.
What if there really was a member of the Dragon Race with no magic power?
Although there are records in the Dragon Race’s history that dragons without magic have exceptionally strong physiques, and there is even one such example in the academy.
“But…”
Dean Weida shook his head.
What’s there to ‘but’ about?
If there isn’t, then there isn’t. Pondering back and forth like this is just a waste of time.
“Fine, since you have no magic power, then choose something else.”
“Okay, I want to learn swordsmanship.”
“Go, go.”
Weida waved his hand, turned around, and left, wearing an indifferent expression.
Yiluo Enya, who had been waiting nearby, came over and grabbed Zhu Qiu’s hand, asking.
Since Zhu Xiaxia hadn’t said anything, she could only ask others.
“How was the test? It should be simple, right. Next, it seems there are no arrangements. Anyway, by 2 PM, we’re required to gather in our respective classes.”
“Very simple. Where are we going next?”
Zhu Qiu asked.
“I see, then okay.”
Zhu Qiu also turned around to leave, but Yiluo Enya quickly grabbed her.
“Where are you going?”
“Of course, I’m going back to my place. It’s still a few hours until 2 PM.”
“Don’t you live in the school dormitory?”
“School dormitory?”
Zhu Qiu shuddered at the thought of living with a group of unfamiliar dragons.
“Forget it, forget it. I don’t really like living in dorms, so I bought a house outside the academy.”
Yiluo Enya nodded, indicating understanding.
“Okay then, see you later.”
“Okay.”
Zhu Qiu left, and Yiluo Enya also planned to head to the freshmen dormitory’s location based on the map in her memory.
She needed to prepare things first, after all, she would be living here for a long time.
After returning to her residence, Zhu Qiu immediately took off her hat and lay down on the bed.
No matter how she looked at it, this First Academy of the Dragon Clan didn’t seem reliable—at least in swordsmanship, it was casual and perfunctory.
She would go check it out in the afternoon first.
If the teacher wasn’t good, she could just tell Zhu Xiaxia and then switch to an acceptable one.
Hmm, that’s the plan.
At this moment, Zhu Xiaxia called.
“How’s my precious daughter? Did you wake up? Don’t miss the enrollment registration.”
It seemed that Zhu Xiaxia had just woken up.
“Zhu Xiaxia, the enrollment registration is already over. The official gathering is in the afternoon.”
“I see, that’s great. How were my precious daughter’s test results?”
On the other end, Zhu Xiaxia was full of anticipation.
‘No way, Zhu Qiu has inherited my excellent quality of full element extreme affinity. Just the test alone would surely shock all the teachers and students present.’
‘My daughter absolutely inherited my outstanding magic talent.’
‘Moreover, back then, Ilanka taught magic and Zhu Qiu was able to learn it. There’s no way she has no magic talent. That doesn’t make any sense at all.’
‘Zhu Qiu must be joking, right?’
“Not good. I have no talent for learning magic, so I went to study swordsmanship.”
Zhu Qiu replied lightly.
“What? No way?!”
Zhu Xiaxia was shocked.
How could it be!
“Daughter, don’t joke with your Mother. This is important.”
“I’m not joking. Really, why would I lie to you?”
“Then…”
Zhu Xiaxia paused for a second.
“Then you must not have been serious during the test. It’s okay.”
“Alright, alright. Let’s leave it at that. I’ll contact you if anything comes up.”
“Hmm… okay then.”
Zhu Xiaxia was unhappy, very unhappy, not happy at all.
Would they see that her daughter had no magic talent and want to bully her?
After Zhu Qiu hung up, a sound came from her stomach.
Gurgle~
‘I’m hungry.’
She slapped her forehead sharply.
“Oh right, I forgot to buy food at the academy cafeteria. I’m such an idiot.”
