Chapter 82 Return
It's that time of year again, the most important time of the year, the start of the school year. Early in the morning, a large number of people had already gathered outside Shrek Academy.
A figure darted through the crowd, rushed into the school gate, swept across the shore of Poseidon Lake at an astonishing speed, and quickly crossed Shrek Square, arriving at the first-year dormitory building.
"Bang, bang, bang." Wang Dong rushed to the dormitory door and knocked hard, causing dust to fall from the door frame.
"Huh?" Wang Dong quickly jumped away to avoid the falling dust.
"Huo Yuhao, open the door now. Look how lazy you've become! All you do is cultivate. The dust on the door frame could bury a person, and you don't even bother to wipe it clean."
After waiting for a long time without the door opening, Wang Dong suddenly realized that Huo Yuhao might not have returned yet.
Yes, Huo Yuhao said that the soul beasts he wanted to hunt were hard to find and would take a lot more time.
Wang Dong never expected that Huo Yuhao's comment about possibly being late was actually true.
Wang Dong took out his key, opened the dormitory door, and went straight in without bothering to avoid the falling dust.
The dormitory was quiet, and everything was exactly the same as when school ended, without the slightest change.
There was already a layer of dust on the ground and table. If Huo Yuhao really came back, he would definitely clean it up immediately, given his obsession with cleanliness.
"How come a second spirit ring hasn't returned after twenty-eight days?"
Seeing the scene before him, Wang Dong frowned and rushed out of the dormitory, running towards the office.
"Teacher Zhou, Teacher Zhou!"
The office door was wide open, and Wang Dong rushed into the office without even knocking.
The students standing in front of Zhou Yi's desk were all from Class 1, Grade 1. They were all startled when they saw Wang Dong rush in so hurriedly.
They all knew that Zhou Yi hated unruly students the most. Although Wang Dong was the class monitor, he was too bold.
However, to their surprise, Zhou Yi did not get angry when she saw Wang Dong; instead, she stood up.
The two spoke at the same time, urgently:
"Where's Huo Yuhao?!" x2
The air seemed to fall silent for a moment.
"You're looking for Huo Yuhao too?!" x2
Silence fell over the office once again.
The students who had originally come to see Zhou Yi were even more careful to hide their presence, not daring to make a sound.
"You should go back and prepare."
"Yes." Although the three students were curious about what had happened, they didn't dare to linger and quickly left. They even closed the office door for Zhou Yi.
"Teacher Zhou, Huo Yuhao hasn't returned yet! Since you haven't seen him either, should we go ask the Soul Guidance Department?"
As soon as the door closed, Wang Dong spoke first.
"No need to ask! I already asked, and there's no useful information from them either." Zhou Yi frowned.
"What's that brat Huo Yuhao up to? He told me that the Soul Guidance Department arranged for a teacher to accompany him to obtain a Soul Ring. Later, I asked Fan Yu, and Fan Yu said that Huo Yuhao told him that the Spirit Guidance Department would send a teacher to help him obtain the Soul Ring. Isn't that lying to both sides? In the end, it's like no one went with him. Did this kid go deep into the Star Dou Great Forest by himself?"
Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Wang Dong became even more anxious: "How can this be? Even if the soul beast he wants to hunt has no offensive power, there are other soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. How can a one-ring soul master without offensive soul skills hunt soul beasts by himself? This is too dangerous."
"Did he tell you he was going to hunt some kind of spirit beast? Did he say anything more specific?"
"By the way, Huo Yuhao told me before that the soul beast he's going to hunt is a bit hard to find, so he might be back a little late, or even be late..."
Wang Dong was desperately trying to recall what Huo Yuhao had said: "Huo Yuhao also said that with Teacher Fan Yu's help in explaining, it wouldn't be a big deal even if I missed the freshman assessment..."
"It seems Huo Yuhao anticipated this situation all along, and he's definitely hiding something," Zhou Yi said in a deep voice.
"However, since he was prepared, he should be confident of returning safely. So, go to the senior section right now and find Bei Bei and Tang Ya for me. If they're not here either, that's good. Huo Yuhao is from the Tang Clan, so maybe they know. It would also make sense if Bei Bei and Tang Ya accompanied him to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong calmed down considerably. Huo Yuhao had always been very calm and measured in his actions, and since he had said he would come back, he would definitely come back.
Huo Yuhao always keeps his word, but to be late is going too far!
Taking a deep breath, Wang Dong quickly turned around and rushed out of Zhou Yi's office to find Bei Bei and Tang Ya.
Unfortunately, Bei Bei also knew nothing about Huo Yuhao's affairs.
On Fan Yu's side, although she was also anxious, after hearing from Zhou Yi that Huo Yuhao might miss the opening exam, she didn't have time to look for Huo Yuhao, who was still nowhere to be found. She immediately began preparing documents to deal with the problems that Huo Yuhao might face when he returned.
Amidst everyone's anxious search, the night quickly passed, and the twenty-ninth day of the holiday also marked the first day of reporting for duty for returning students.
Wang Dong completed the registration procedures early in the morning and then stood at the entrance of Shrek Academy, gazing into the distance.
Wang Dong waited until the distant sunset gradually disappeared, but the figure he longed to see never appeared.
Why hasn't he come back yet? Why?
Shrek Academy has very strict rules. If you fail to report on time, you will be expelled!
Even with Ms. Fanyu covering for them, they shouldn't be this late for no reason.
As the sun completely set, the dim yellow lights of street lamps replaced the sunlight, illuminating the streets.
But Huo Yuhao still didn't return.
Beibei, Tang Ya, and Xiao Xiao arrived at the academy gate one after another. As the sky gradually darkened, their originally calm expressions turned somber.
The number of people on the streets outside Shrek Academy gradually decreased until they were completely deserted.
Looking at the empty and quiet street, Wang Dongshang stood up listlessly and walked silently toward his dormitory.
Wang Dong didn't know how he got back to the dormitory. It was as if in the blink of an eye he was sitting on Huo Yuhao's bed, staring blankly at the place where Huo Yuhao usually meditated and cultivated.
It was as if Huo Yuhao was sitting here cultivating at this very moment.
"bump--"
The door suddenly opened, and Huo Yuhao stood in the doorway, drenched in sweat and panting heavily.
Huo Yuhao didn't know why, on his first day back at school, instead of going to Fan Yu and the others to handle the report, he went straight to his dormitory.
I glanced at Wang Dong's bed but didn't see him. I then scanned the entire dormitory and finally found Wang Dong staring blankly on my own bed.
Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief and then hurriedly walked out of the dormitory.
He still needs to deal with the lateness issue!
"Huo, Yu, Hao!"
A deafening scream suddenly rang out. Huo Yuhao, who had just turned to rush out, spun around and dodged Wang Dong's lunge, but still managed to reach out his right hand and stop Wang Dong before he fell to the ground.
