When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Zhu Chongjiu followed the people arranged by Principal Wang to a three-story stone building.

Zhu Chongjiu looked up and saw the three large characters "Academic Affairs Office" written above the entrance of the stone building.

After the visitor led Zhu Chongjiu into the stone building, he asked whether Zhu Chongjiu's cultivation profession was a martial arts mage or a magic mage.

Zhu Chongjiu replied, "Martial Arts Master."

Then the person who came spoke to the staff in the academic affairs office, and soon the staff handed a package to Zhu Chongjiu.

This is your school uniform and the token for junior students of the academy, along with a copy of the academy's rules and a basic introduction to martial arts masters, and a key that says "West District, Row 2, Room 203".

Zhu Chongjiu looked at the book in his hand and saw that it only contained a basic introduction to martial arts masters, with no other martial arts techniques listed. He asked, "Aren't there any martial arts techniques?"

The staff member from the Academic Affairs Office replied, "Martial arts skills are earned through merit points; the specific details of the exchange are in the college regulations."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

After receiving the items, the visitor led Zhu Chongjiu to room 203, row 2, west section, as indicated on the key.

After Zhu Chongjiu arrived, the person told him, "This is your dormitory in the academy. Familiarize yourself with the environment today. Classes will begin tomorrow at moonrise. Your classroom is on the token. If you have any questions, you can report them to your tutor."

After speaking, the person turned to leave, but Zhu Chongjiu called out, "Wait a minute, didn't your dean tell you my request?"

The person turned around and gave Zhu Chongjiu a strange look, saying, "The Dean didn't assign me anything else. If you have any requests, go to the Dean yourself."

After saying this, without waiting for Zhu Chongjiu to ask any more questions, she turned around and quickly left the dormitory area.

After leaving, he muttered to himself, "What's going on? The academy is starting to use back channels now. This is the first time I've ever seen this." He then shook his head.

It's no wonder the visitor thought Zhu Chongjiu got in through connections, after all, the first time he saw Zhu Chongjiu was next to the dean and the guardian, Old Man Zhao, and the dean's office building had disappeared.

Everyone knows the dean's character in the college; he is upright and incorruptible.

In the visitor's fantasy, Zhu Chongjiu was brought by the guardian to use the back door, but the dean did not agree.

Then the guardians used their power to intimidate people, and razed the dean's office building to the ground. In the end, the dean had no choice but to agree under the dual pressure of his status and strength.

He's not the only one who thinks this way.

Most of the people who sensed the sudden burst of Emperor-level aura and were called to help by the Dean thought the same thing.

After all, no one saw Zhu Chongjiu unleash his power.

Moreover, those who saw Zhu Chongjiu only sensed the aura of a novice mage on him, and only a few people felt that there was something fishy going on!

Zhu Chongjiu watched the departing person, feeling rather awkward, and wondered if he should go and ask the dean what he meant.

I've already lowered my standards, so at least give me some explanation. If you just throw me here like an ordinary new student with connections, how am I supposed to move around freely in the future?

How can I learn what I want to learn?

Do you expect me to complete the beginner, intermediate, and advanced courses step by step?

Forget it, let's get familiar with the environment first.

He picked up his token and glanced at it. On the front of the token, the larger characters read "Viter City Mage Academy" and the smaller characters below read "Junior Martial Mage Student". On the back, it read "Junior Martial Mage Group Seven".

Zhu Chongjiu examined the token as he walked towards the exit of the dormitory.

Zhu Chongjiu looked around and found that no one was in the dormitory. It must be during class time. Zhu Chongjiu didn't know where his class was, so he thought he would ask someone!

Not long after leaving the dormitory area, I saw a group of young people practicing in an outdoor place that looked like a gym.

Some of the training equipment inside is similar to that in Tongli's camp, but it is more comprehensive and more refined!

Zhu Chongjiu walked towards them, and the students who were cultivating also saw him approaching. They looked him up and down and began to whisper among themselves, "Where did this shorty come from? Don't know him? Have you ever seen anyone this short? No! At that height, I'd be the same height as him if I sawed off my legs!"

A middle-aged man nearby shouted, "Quiet down! Hurry up and cultivate, do you all want to be punished?"

Zhu Chongjiu heard the students' whispers but didn't take them seriously. After all, he was over thirty years old. Why should he argue with a bunch of kids? Besides, he was already short!

Zhu Chongjiu walked to the middle-aged man's side and said, "Hello, mentor. I am a new student today. I would like to ask you where my training ground is?"

As Zhu Chongjiu spoke, he handed his token to the middle-aged mentor opposite him!

The middle-aged instructor picked up the token, glanced at it, and looked up to ask Zhu Chongjiu, "Didn't the people from the Academic Affairs Office take you to your training ground?"

No, they took me to my dorm and then left!

The middle-aged tutor said angrily, "What are the people in the academic affairs office doing these days? They're getting more and more outrageous. They don't personally guide the new students to familiarize themselves with the college environment. How are the new students supposed to know where they are?"

The middle-aged instructor turned around and shouted to the group of students who were practicing, "You've come here specifically for this!"

At this moment, a young man who was doing squats while carrying a boulder as tall as Zhu Chongjiu put down the boulder and ran to Zhu Chongjiu and the other man.

The middle-aged instructor said to Te Lai, "Te Lai, I'll give you one hour. Take this freshman around the academy and show him around. Come back and report when the time is up."

Upon hearing his mentor's instructions, the student replied, "Okay, mentor!"

Turning to Zhu Chongjiu, he asked, "What's your name? Which freshman group are you in?"

Zhu Chongjiu nodded, thanked the middle-aged instructor, and followed the special guest out of the training ground.

Zhu Chongjiu showed the token to Te Lai, who looked up at it with a frightened expression and asked, "Brother, have you offended someone in the Academic Affairs Office?"

Zhu Chongjiu looked at the person who had come with a puzzled expression and asked, "What do you mean?"

Te Lai replied, "Who in the entire junior group doesn't know that the instructor of the third group is a notorious martial arts fanatic? Every day, the students in the third group are wailing in pain."

Stain, stain, stain!

Brother, you're in for a treat!

After saying that, he patted Zhu Chongjiu on the shoulder!

Zhu Chongjiu looked at the person who had come to see him and said, "I should be more than ten years older than you. From now on, don't call me brother, call me Ninth Brother. I know you won't accept it. Tell me how that's possible, and then I'll make you accept it wholeheartedly, okay?"

The man, who was nearly two meters tall, looked down at Zhu Chongjiu, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head, saying no.

Judging from your small stature, you're definitely no match for strength, and as for martial arts techniques, you've just arrived at the academy and probably haven't learned any martial arts techniques yet, so you're even less of a match.

My mentor taught me that you should challenge those who are stronger than you. If you always bully those who are weaker than you, you will never become strong!

Zhu Chongjiu looked at the person who had come and smiled, "Your mentor is absolutely right, but there's one thing your mentor hasn't taught you yet, and I'll teach you that today!"

He came specifically to see Zhu Chongjiu and asked in confusion, "What is it?"

Zhu Chongjiu reached out and pressed his hand against the chest of the special visitor.

With just a gentle push, I heard a "Holy crap!" and Te Lai flew out, lying sprawled out about five or six meters away from where he started!

Te Lai struggled a couple of times to get up, clutching his chest with one hand and rubbing his buttocks with the other, and walked angrily toward Zhu Chongjiu.

Zhu Chongjiu then spoke up: "Never underestimate anyone, even if that person is thin and small!"

Bullshit! I wasn't prepared because you suddenly attacked. Now it's your turn.

If I move even slightly, I'll call you Ninth Brother from now on!

After he finished speaking, he assumed a horse stance and said, "Come on!"

Zhu Chongjiu stood still and repeated the action from before: he reached out and pushed! Then there was a thud, followed by a series of cries of "Ouch, ouch!"

This time, thanks to prior preparation, the distance from which the person fell was more than a meter closer than last time.

Zhu Chongjiu stepped forward and helped the man up, saying, "Call me Ninth Brother!"

Then, a person was seen walking forward, rubbing his buttocks with one hand and his chest with the other.

Ninth Brother, how did you do that?

Ninth Brother, are you a beginner martial arts mage?

Judging from your abilities, it doesn't seem like that. I feel like even our mentors can't think of me like that. You just casually sent me flying so far!

Ninth Brother, how old are you...?

Under the questioning of Terai, Zhu Chongjiu jumped up and smacked Terai on the head, saying, "Hurry up and show me around the academy. Don't forget, your mentor only gave you one hour."

Te Lai first led Zhu Chongjiu to the training ground of the third group of novice martial arts masters, but Zhu Chongjiu did not enter.

Te Lai then took Zhu Chongjiu to tour the intermediate and advanced training grounds.

Zhu Chongjiu discovered that the training grounds at all levels were basically the same, only differing in size, with each level being larger than the last.

Then Te Lai took Zhu Chongjiu to the academy's mission office.

After the special introduction, Zhu Chongjiu learned that the academy's mission office was where missions were issued to students, and that missions were only received by beginner, intermediate, and advanced students.

The beginner group refers to beginner martial arts mages, the intermediate group refers to intermediate martial arts mages, and the advanced group refers to advanced martial arts mages.

You can graduate once you reach the King-level Martial Mage.

After graduation, you can choose from three career paths: Guardian, Academy Mentor, or Kingdom Army.

Once selected, they must serve for ten years, except in special circumstances.

If you don't go, at best your cultivation will be abolished, at worst you'll be executed. He even grinned unconsciously when he was about to be executed!

Zhu Chongjiu asked, "What happens after the term of service is over?"

Once your service period is over, you'll be free to do whatever you want, but you'll still be under the kingdom's control.

If you travel from one major city to another, you need to report to the Guardian.

But I heard that the reporting process isn't that strict. You just need to notify the guardian through the sound transmission stone where you're going and why.

That's all, and then the local guardian will notify the guardian of the destination of the person who reported the information.

Zhu Chongjiu asked, "What will happen if we don't report it?"

After glancing around, he lowered his head and whispered to Zhu Chongjiu, "Back then, a royal-level martial arts master went from Tianxue City to Qingxue City without reporting it and was discovered."

The guardians of Qingxue City wanted to apprehend him and take him back for questioning.

Unexpectedly, the royal-level martial arts master who did not report the incident relied on his high cultivation level, not only refusing to cooperate with the questioning, but also injuring two guardians of Qingxue City.

One of the royal-level guardians even had his cultivation completely destroyed!

Another injured royal-level guardian used a communication stone to notify the capital. The royal-level martial mage who hadn't reported the incident ran away when he saw that things had escalated!

Unexpectedly, in less than half a day, they were intercepted and killed by an Emperor-level mage sent by the capital in Rain and Snow City.

The head was hung on the city gate of Qingxue City for three months as a warning to others.

Later, I heard that the royal-level martial arts master who was killed was an elder of a large family who went to the capital to cause trouble.

However, they were driven out as soon as they entered the capital.

At the same time, a statement was also made: "Anyone who dares to disregard the laws of the kingdom in the future will be punished in accordance with the law."
