Chapter 182: First Encounter

The fourth-year student from Bridge Pier Academy introduced himself as Grace, who had already reached Sequence 5, specifically the War Sequence 5 known as the Breaker Horn. After being asked by the surrounding freshmen, he also enthusiastically shared some interesting stories about Emanas and Cui翠.

Cui翠’s royal family mainly studied the Demon Sequence and Nature Sequence, which need not be mentioned. The Unicorn Duke, the Landsworth family, due to their elf bloodline, excelled in the Nature Sequence. The southern Rhyton Dragon, the Pasca family, primarily focused on the Dragon Sequence, but in fact, many in their family also chose the Demon Sequence because the Pasca family was originally a branch of the Cui翠 Royal Family and maintained the closest ties with the royal house.

The Griffin Duke of the west, the Salus family, specialized in the War Sequence and produced numerous heroes and generals. However, the low-profile Raven Duke of the north, the Trey family, were rarely heard of after their early significant contributions to Cui翠’s expansion by defeating Oz Country. They primarily studied the rare Necromancer Sequence.

The inheritance of Extraordinary Sequences also valued lineage. Children would be somewhat influenced by their parents’ Extraordinary Professions. For example, if both parents belonged to the Magic Sequence, then the child would have a higher initial adaptability to the Magic Sequence.

This bloodline advantage would gradually fade away after reaching Sequence 5, as the body and soul would adjust to a highly adaptive state. Postnatal achievements would compensate for any innate deficiencies. Beyond Sequence 6, everything depended purely on personal encounters.

“The princess with the jade-like appearance is quite haughty,” Grace introduced his empire’s princess. It was likely that only a few of Cui翠’s nobles would dare to say such things. This was not a modern society that emphasized equality and peace; ordinary people casually criticizing high-ranking nobles could indeed invite trouble.

“Are there any more school-related anecdotes?”

After sharing some interesting stories and piquing the interest of the freshmen around him, this senior Grace began to detail the glorious history of the Griffin Duke family, recounting their still splendid achievements with pride, making his younger schoolmates listen with rapt attention.

“Loran, how about we stay and listen to the rest?”

After hearing the legend of the knights riding griffins charging into battle, Alena couldn’t move her feet. She had a great fondness for anything related to demonic beasts. The Griffin Duke family was named as such because of the griffin,

Indeed, due to the Griffin Knights passed down through generations in their family, these aerial warriors who ride griffins are incredibly swift and fierce. Several of them can form a highly flexible squad that can even defeat dragons.

Although Lolan Hill had long known about the rise of the four dukes’ families from books, since Alena mentioned it, there was no harm in waiting a little longer. She sat on one side of the stands, waiting slightly.

There were four people in their dormitory. Nia usually followed everyone, and although Letis did not get along with Alena, she would not object if Lolan Hill stayed. So the four of them continued to sit on the stands.

At this moment, the participants in the field began to disperse. The golden-haired Griffin’s son slowly walked over, followed by a group of people.

Aisaya, as a new student, though not in the same class as Rock, had heard early on about today’s cavalry drills. He specially came to watch today. When they cheered at the victory earlier, he congratulated Jielanen and followed him over.

“Lolan, those upperclassmen are coming over.”

“Hmm, I see.”

Watching the students slowly walk over, Lolan Hill suddenly recalled scenes from certain movies and comics where the school’s top dog led the way ahead, followed by a group of underlings, all wearing matching outfits, making for an incredibly cool scene. These memories made her smile unconsciously.

She smiled at me.

Even though Jielanen was considered incredibly handsome by everyone, his focus and thoughts at this moment were probably only clear to himself. On the surface, he chatted casually with his companions, but his attention had long flown elsewhere.

The black-haired girl sitting in the corner of the stands, with eyes like distant green mountains, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, her gaze as lively as mountain springs, fell upon this side, her lips curving slightly. Although she hadn’t spoken, it seemed as if she was conveying countless words.

Everything before his eyes seemed to be filtered through the lens of beauty, reflected in Jielanen’s vision. His mood had never been so light, or perhaps so excited, that even his usual firm steps felt slightly unsteady.

Could this be what it feels like to like someone? He asked himself, then continued walking forward.

“Hello, I’m Jielanen, a fourth-year student.”

As he spoke, a group of people excitedly gathered around him, most of whom were new students.

“If you have any questions about the academy, feel free to ask me.”

“I will be

Happily, she led everyone to visit and tour.

Although just now Grace had been praising Jielanen beside him, describing him as how heroic, open-hearted, and virtuous he was, when they met the real person, everyone felt that this senior wasn’t so arrogant after all. Instead, he seemed very approachable, like an older brother who would look out for you, giving one a sense of security.

Seeing that this upperclassman had taken the initiative to volunteer, and since many students were also very interested in him, the leading teacher did not stop them but followed slowly behind, which was also a good opportunity to rest. After all, teachers were also human and occasionally wanted to take a break.

Thus, this group of people followed the Eldest Son of the Griffin, touring around the academy. Here, there were not only castles, classrooms, riverside dormitories, libraries, but also many racetracks, shooting ranges, and training arenas. Upon entering the main gate hall, the marble floor was covered with a map of the current Ivar World. The map covered the entire floor of the hall, with hundreds of cities, mountain ranges, rivers, terrains, lakes, and other important checkpoints marked on the grand surface.

The crowd gradually stretched out in line, and Lolan Hill fell to the back. She preferred quietness and didn’t want to be too crowded. Besides, even if she stood far away, she could still clearly hear the explanation, so she didn’t need to stand too close.

As the team slowly entered the hall, Jielanen arranged the freshmen into a line, circling around the edge of the world map displayed on the floor. As they walked, he explained the map, introducing famous battles, checkpoints, and scenic spots.

A group of people slowly formed a circle, with Jielanen at the front and Lolan Hill at the back. As the line stretched, the head and tail drew closer and closer, resembling the Ouroboros, and Jielanen also got closer to the black-haired girl standing ahead.

“Like the question asked by the student just now, actually, in the great war several hundred years ago, Cui Cui defeated Oz Country at a tremendous cost, it could be considered a bitter victory. A witch from Oz Country passed away, and the Cui Cui Empire lost three Sequence 9s; the Trei family almost faced extinction.”

After answering a freshman’s question, he looked at the black-haired girl standing quietly ahead and walked towards her.

“Hello, do you have any questions, classmate?” His expression was natural, as if casually asking out of goodwill.

Thank you for the reward of “Stars over the South Region” from Chenxin.

Finally, I caught up with the usual progress π_π!
