X-Dragon Era

Looking carefully, that building was constructed on top of a hill, surrounded by greenery, with quite a pleasant view. It was entirely made of wood and although simple, it looked clean and tidy.

There were two buildings in total, one located at the front, which was a large classroom capable of accommodating hundreds of people, and the other was a long building with two floors at the back, clearly intended for use as dormitories. It is worth mentioning that the Combat Dragon Academy required boarding, with no option for day students.

When Xin Yun arrived at the spacious and bright classroom, almost all of the class had already gathered. Looking around the huge classroom, it was filled with wooden desks and chairs that, although plain and a bit cramped, were all new, making the place feel significantly better.

Upon seeing Xin Yun's arrival, the people in the class casually glanced at him a few times before turning back to continue their conversations with those next to them. Seeing this scene, Xin Yun shook his head, and after looking around for a while, found an empty seat near a corner and walked over to it.

It must be said that Combat Dragon Academy, after all, is one of the four major academies, and even the worst class had decent amenities, at the very least... it was much better than any school Xin Yun had seen on Earth before.

Although the buildings were wooden and the desks and chairs were also wooden, everything was brand new, smelling of wood, and moreover... each person had their own desk and chair. The space seemed a bit crowded, but by comparison to Earth's schools, it was much more spacious.

Sitting gently on the chair, Xin Yun casually placed the textbook and pen he had prepared into the desk and then looked around at the nearby seats.

What he saw were several guys nearby who seemed rather anti-social, each lying on their desks, not knowing whether they were sleeping or lost in thought, but in any case, they did not look very interested.

While observing, a series of crisp footsteps came from outside the door, followed by... a slim figure quickly entering the classroom. Seeing this, all the students instantly quieted down, and those who had been resting on their desks all straightened up.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Looking closely, it was a female teacher, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a slim figure and delicate features. She wore a grey suit, had a stern face, and held a metal teaching rod in her hand as she seriously looked at the students below.

After a moment of silence, the female teacher finally spoke, "All right, let me introduce myself. My name is Musha, and I will be the teacher for this class. You can call me Teacher Musha."

Hearing Teacher Musha's introduction, Xin Yun's eyes lit up. It was rare to see someone with the surname Mu, and her name was quite nice, Musha...

Lost in thought, Musha continued, "Originally, this so-called Extracurricular Class 11 did not exist. The reason for setting up this class this year was simply to perform an experiment. Your performance will not only determine your future but also decide whether this class will continue to be offered in the future. So... I hope that we can all work hard together and create a miracle!"

"Clap, clap..." Upon hearing Teacher Musha's words, all the kids clapped eagerly—kids loved praise, after all.

Xin Yun also clapped, but... his eyes were constantly observing Musha cautiously. This girl had high aspirations, but many things could not be achieved by hard work alone. The gap in talent and the difference in teaching resources had already created a significant divide, and even the reborn Xin Yun was not confident about crossing it, let alone ordinary people.

On the podium, Teacher Musha continued, "All right, I'll talk about the rest later. Today is the first day of school, so everyone, open your desks and take a look at the Combat Dragon Academy handbook to understand the rules of the Combat Dragon Academy. Also... could a few strong male students come up and help me collect our Academy Uniforms!"

As soon as Musha finished speaking, several stout boys eagerly raised their hands. Xin Yun, of course, would not raise his hand; firstly, his build was just average, not at all stout, and secondly... since these guys were so enthusiastic, they could handle it.

Opening his desk casually, Xin Yun took out the handbook with a red cover and began to read it carefully. He couldn't help but smile wryly after a glance—the academy's rules were not numerous, but they were quite uncomfortable, with a blatant disregard for human rights and an exceptionally severe class segregation.

Even though everyone was a student, the difference in treatment was like night and day.

As he pondered, the sound of footsteps outside announced the return of about a dozen male students led by Musha. Each boy, apart from Musha, was carrying a large bundle of clothes.

"Clap, clap..." Clapping her hands, Teacher Musha declared, "All right, everyone, come and get your Academy Uniforms. One set per person, and then, according to your Academy Badge number, go to the dormitory behind to change. We'll meet back here in half an hour to go to the First Year Lecture Hall for the first class!"

Following Teacher Musha's instructions, all the students quickly stood up and rushed out of the classroom toward the dormitory. In fact, not just they, even Xin Yun was eager to find out where his dormitory was and what it looked like inside.

However, Xin Yun was not really a child, after all, so he kept his cool and waited until most people had squeezed out of the classroom before he stood up unhurriedly and walked out.
