Chapter 9: Work-Study
In Notting City, Qi Tian, carrying a large package, separated from the traveling merchant who had brought him into the city.
He still has to do business, so Qi Tian didn't want to bother him to take him to Notting Academy to register.
"Notting Academy! Here I come!" Qi Tian headed towards the west of the city.
He entered Notting Academy to work and study for two purposes: one was to obtain soul rings, and the other was to obtain Xuantian Skill.
Soul beasts are not everywhere; they usually only live in soul beast forests.
If he didn't work at the academy, he could only obtain soul rings by paying mercenaries to hunt soul beasts.
But with his Blue Silver Grass spirit, it was too unsafe to rashly look for mercenaries. It would be better for him to work in the academy and ask the teacher for help when the time comes.
As for Xuantian Skill, he planned to try it through Xiao Wu's channels.
Given the relationship between Tang San and Xiao Wu, there is a high possibility that he can obtain Xuantian Skill through Xiao Wu.
"Hey, Xiao Wu, you don't want the Spirit Hall to know that you're a transformed soul beast, right?"
Of course, Qi Tian would wait until he could beat Xiao Wu before doing this, otherwise, rashly threatening Xiao Wu would be courting death!
...
In the west of Notting City, Qi Tian searched for a long time before he found the location of Notting Academy.
Notting Academy does not cover a large area, but its walls and gates are very majestic, revealing an ancient atmosphere.
This reminded Qi Tian of the schools in his previous life that did not build dormitories but built gates. Notting Academy was similar.
The guard saw someone approaching and glanced at him.
He felt a little disdainful when he saw Qi Tian dressed simply and carrying a large bag woven with Blue Silver Grass.
"Go away! This is the Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy. Go somewhere else if you want to eat!" The guard waved his hand and asked Qi Tian to leave.
Qi Tian was not annoyed, but took out his spirit awakening certificate and the certificate issued by the village.
"Brother, I'm a part-time student at Emperor Soul Village this year. Can you please be flexible and let me in to register?"
"Work-study student? Notting Academy hasn't had work-study students for several years. Are you pretending to be one?" The guard took the certificate suspiciously.
"Spirit Blue Silver Grass, Innate Soul Power Level 0.5? You dare to come to the Spirit Master Academy with this? Do you think the Spirit Master Academy is a charity?"
He threw the certificate of spirit awakening back to Qi Tian. He didn't say he would let him in, but he didn't drive him away either.
Qi Tian's heart moved, knowing that this man wanted some tolls, but Qi Tian was penniless and was not willing to give him his hard-earned money.
"Excuse me, big brother, the security guard, what is the level of your innate soul power?" Qi Tian asked.
The guard opened his mouth. If he could cultivate, why would he come to a junior Spirit Master academy to guard the gate? Wouldn't it be better to guard the gate of the Spirit Hall?
"Go away, you're making fun of me, right? Get out of here!"
Qi Tian took two steps back to prevent the guard from touching him. After practicing for several months, his body was now very flexible.
"Are you unable to practice? Aren't you afraid that someone will retaliate against you in the future by making things difficult for the Spirit Master seedlings?" Qi Tian asked.
The security guard was shocked. He had only been in office for a few years, and the students he exploited had not yet graduated.
If he waits until they graduate, they might really take revenge on him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I exploit you? I just wanted to confirm whether you were cheating!" the guard argued.
Qi Tian stretched out his hand, and a purple-tinged Blue Silver Grass appeared: "Can this be faked?"
Without soul power, it is impossible to use a spirit. Qi Tian did this to prove that he was not cheating.
"It's just a Blue Silver Grass Spirit, there's nothing to be proud of!"
The guard had a step to go down, so he stopped pestering Qi Tian and let him go!
"Damn country kid, so ignorant!" The guard cursed in a low voice as he watched Qi Tian walk away.
He was not afraid of retaliation because Notting Academy had not recruited any work-study students for several years.
The parents of commoners and nobles who had extra money at home would "take the initiative" to give him some benefits, making him a little too proud of himself.
He didn't expect to meet an ignorant work-study student today and make him feel embarrassed.
"Next time you see a work-study student like this who reports alone, just let them go. There's no money to be made from them anyway!"
Just then, he saw a pair of grandfather and grandson walking around the corner. They seemed to be work-study students.
"Why are there so many work-study students this year? But this old man is so old, he should know some rules, right?"
He planned to get back the face he lost with Qi Tian by dealing with this grandfather and grandson.
...
Qi Tian went to the Academic Affairs Office to find Director Su and completed the admission procedures for the work-study student.
After completing the admission registration, he did not go directly to Dormitory 7, but instead walked around the campus.
"The grass on this playground is actually planted with Blue Silver Grass?" Qi Tian was a little surprised.
The Blue Silver Grass has a soft texture and can indeed be used as a lawn. Qi Tian can practice his spirit here in the future.
"It looks like someone has already mowed and cleaned the lawn here. I have to find that person and exchange jobs with him!" Qi Tian thought to himself.
If he could work and practice at the same time, Qi Tian would not be so resistant to working and studying.
The academy was not big, and Qi Tian finished his tour quickly before heading towards Dormitory 7.
As soon as he opened the door of Dormitory 7, he saw a little girl with scorpion braids and white clothes. She had her legs wrapped around a little boy's neck and was swinging him hard.
The little girl has fair skin and delicate features; she is a beauty.
The little boy was very ordinary, with nothing special about him, and was immediately thrown to the ground by the little girl.
The two people were Tang San and Xiao Wu. Qi Tian didn't expect that he would catch up with their battle.
"Xiao Wu, I lost to you. According to the rules of Dormitory 7, you are now the boss of Dormitory 7!" Tang San said.
He never wanted to be the boss, so he simply gave away the title he had just gained.
"Boss? That sounds fun. I will be your boss from now on!" Xiao Wu said excitedly.
Just at this moment Qi Tian pushed the door open. Xiao Wu turned around and saw Qi Tian.
Qi Tian was dressed simply and holding a school uniform in his hand. He was obviously a new work-study student.
"Hey, who? Are you the new work-study student?" Xiao Wu raised her eyebrows and looked at Qi Tian.
Qi Tian nodded and said, "My name is Qi Tian, and I am indeed a new work-study student!"
Xiao Wu acted like a big sister and said, "Very good. According to the dormitory rules, you need to introduce your spirit and then spar with me!"
"My spirit is Blue Silver Grass, so there's no need for us to spar. My soul power is very low, so I'm no match for you, boss!" Qi Tian said with a smile.
He took the initiative to admit defeat and skipped this tradition of Dormitory Seven.
"You're so sensible. From now on, Big Sister will protect you! From now on, everyone will call me Big Sister, okay?"
Looking at Xiao Wu's "violent and powerful" attitude, Qi Tian couldn't help laughing, and found a corner by the window to make his bed.
This time he brought a straw mat he had woven himself with Blue Silver Grass, a somewhat thin quilt, and a bleached sheet wrapped around it.
This was all his belongings. After leaving Emperor Soul Village, Qi Tian had no plans to go back.
