Chapter 17 The First Day of School
Biji remembered that Huo Yutong didn't have many suitable clothes, and she and Ziji only had one set of clothes each.
This was indeed inconvenient for Yu Tong, who was about to start a new life at Shrek Academy, and for the girls who were about to officially take up teaching positions.
"Perfect timing, we also need to buy some new clothes." Biji looked at Huo Yutong and Ziji, "How about we go for a stroll in the city now?"
Xiao Xiao immediately responded enthusiastically to the suggestion: "I know several shops on the shopping street that are both affordable and beautiful! I'll lead the way!"
The four then turned and headed towards Shrek City.
As kings of soul beasts, Biji and Ziji had no concept of human currency, but the generous advance payment from Shrek Academy was enough to ensure they didn't have to worry about money. Besides, they had brought a large amount of soul coins and a few soul bones with them before they left, which could be exchanged for money, amounting to only a hundred or a thousand years.
In the clothing store, Biji carefully selected comfortable and soft dresses for Huo Yutong, just like an older sister who truly cares about her younger sister.
Murasaki, on the other hand, showed great curiosity about human clothing.
Zi Ji pointed out the various dresses with great interest. When she and Bi Ji walked out of the fitting room, the entire shop seemed to brighten up.
Xiao Xiao whispered to Yu Tong, "Yu Tong, your sisters... are so beautiful."
Huo Yutong also became a dress-up doll for Biji and Ziji, trying on one outfit after another.
After finishing their shopping, Brigitte and Murasaki escorted them to their dormitory.
After returning to their dormitory, Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao rested for a while and changed into more comfortable pajamas.
The days passed quickly. Huo Yutong also visited Biji and Ziji's dormitory. They agreed to replenish their mental energy disguise every weekend. Shrek Academy had classes six days a week, with only Sundays off.
Huo Yutong also told them that Tang Ya had invited her to join the Tang Clan, but she had refused. After discussion, they decided not to join any sect.
The class assignment results are out. The good news is that the two are in the same class. The bad news is that they are both assigned to Zhou Yi's class.
"Ugh, tomorrow's the first day of school."
Xiao Xiao sighed, her tone a mixture of expectation and worry, after all, Zhou Yi had a "bad reputation".
"Xiao Xiao, let's face this together," Huo Yutong encouraged.
The two girls smiled at each other.
The two got up early, washed up, changed into their school uniforms, ate breakfast, and headed to the teaching building.
"Great, the first two to arrive." Zhou Yi praised them as soon as they pushed open the classroom door.
After Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao greeted Zhou Yi, they chose seats next to each other.
As time passed, the students arrived one by one. When Wang Dong entered the classroom, it caused the girls to gasp in surprise. Huo Yutong, however, didn't react much, only thinking to herself that he was indeed good-looking.
Zhou Yi stood on the podium and said, "Hello, students, I am Zhou Yi."
From now on, I will be your homeroom teacher. I hope we can spend a fulfilling and meaningful school year together.
Zhou Yi turned around and wrote her name on the blackboard with strong, vigorous strokes.
"As you all know, life at Shrek Academy is not an easy path. The first major hurdle we are about to face is the freshman assessment."
The assessment will be held in three months. Listen carefully to the core rules and remember them well.
"First, the assessment will be conducted in a team format. You can form your own three-person teams, sign up with me, and once I approve, you can form your teams."
Remember, don't even think about a three-support combination unless you're looking for trouble!
Second, the assessment adopts a combination of group elimination and cyclical point system.
The initial stage is a group round-robin tournament, where each team must play a full number of matches and be ranked according to the points of their wins. Only the strongest teams that emerge from the group stage can advance to the knockout stage until the final champion is determined.
Don't think this is just a simple test. The results of the freshman assessment will directly determine whether you are qualified to stay at Shrek Academy! Only by passing the assessment can you officially stay.
The top-ranking teams will receive generous resources from the academy, including but not limited to the right to use soul tools, rare medicinal herbs, and the opportunity to be trained as core disciples.
Zhou Yi's gaze finally fell on Huo Yutong. "In the next three months, I hope to see a united, hardworking, and constantly self-improving team."
That's why we need a role model to guide everyone during the assessment period.
"On the first day of school, Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao were the first to arrive at the classroom. Their diligence and attitude deserve praise."
Therefore, I have decided that Huo Yutong will temporarily serve as class monitor for the next three months, responsible for daily supervision and coordination. I hope everyone will cooperate actively.
Furthermore, Huo Yutong is one of the two students with the highest soul power in the class, both possessing level twenty-one soul power.
As a teacher, Zhou Yi has access to information about all the students in her class.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a defiant voice came from the back of the classroom: "Teacher, I disagree!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Wang Dong, a very handsome young man, suddenly stood up.
"The position of class monitor should rightfully belong to the most capable person. It would be too frivolous to expect us to be convinced simply because someone arrived early."
Furthermore, I also possess level twenty-one soul power. I request a fair duel with Huo Yutong. If she wins, I have nothing to say; if I win, this class monitor position should be reconsidered!
The atmosphere in the classroom instantly became tense, and all eyes were focused on Yu Tong and Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi remained calm. "Huo Yutong, what do you mean?"
Huo Yutong calmly stood up. "I accept."
A simple competition unfolded in the open space outside the classroom.
As soon as Zhou Yi announced the start, Wang Dong's soul power surged. The dazzling Light Goddess Butterfly martial soul and the fact that his second soul ring was at the millennium level drew gasps of amazement from the surrounding classmates.
Wang Dong suddenly tapped his toes, his figure shooting out like a streak of light, clearly intending to demonstrate his strength with a swift and decisive victory.
Faced with this fierce attack, Huo Yutong seemed to have anticipated it and activated her spiritual eye.
Instead of confronting the attack head-on, she used a skillful side slide to narrowly avoid the sharp palm strike.
After his attack missed, Wang Dong intensified his offensive. With a flap of his wings, streaks of golden light shot out, blocking Huo Yutong's retreat from different angles. His attack was like a raging storm.
However, Huo Yutong's figure was as agile as a butterfly flitting among flowers, always finding a gap to slip through at the last possible moment.
After several moves, Wang Dong, unable to gain the upper hand, became impatient and charged forward, slightly opening the center gate.
In that split second, Huo Yutong moved! Instead of retreating, she advanced and cut into the gap in front of Wang Dong.
At this moment, she did not use any soul skills, but simply placed her hand precisely on Wang Dong's wrist, guiding and pushing it in the same direction.
Wang Dong felt a chill, and his strength was immediately thrown off balance. He lost his center of gravity and staggered forward, barely managing to regain his footing.
The room fell silent instantly.
A look of disbelief flashed across Wang Dong's face, which was then replaced by intense resentment. She hadn't even had a chance to use her second soul skill!
She gritted her teeth and forced out the words: "...I lost. The position of class monitor is yours."
Zhou Yi observed everything and said, "In that case, Huo Yutong will be the class monitor. Everyone, go back to your seats, let's begin class."
Back in the classroom, Wang Dong felt annoyed. She stared at Huo Yutong's back and thought to herself, "Huo Yutong, I'll remember you."
Wang Dong has his own dormitory room and no roommates.
