#122 - Cabin in the Woods
Reaching the entrance, Quan Yi and Huo Wu saw academy staff testing the soul power levels of those registering.
Quan Yi went directly to a staff member who was free.
"You are?" The staff member quickly sized up Huo Wu and Quan Yi, asking curiously.
Quan Yi took out a letter from his pocket and handed it over.
"Hello, this is our letter of introduction."
The staff member first showed a suspicious expression, then, after examining the letter, immediately widened his eyes.
"Please wait a moment."
The staff member picked it up and ran inside the gate.
After a short wait, a burst of rapid footsteps came from inside the gate.
A tall, capable woman with short hair walked towards Quan Yi and Huo Wu.
"Hello, are you Mr. Quan Yi and Miss Huo Wu? I am Gao Li, the director of teaching affairs at the academy. Our dean has been waiting for a long time, please follow me."
"Okay."
Quan Yi and Huo Wu exchanged a smile and followed her into the academy.
"What's going on? Director of teaching affairs? Dean? What are the identities of these two people?"
The noble families in line stirred after seeing this.
A middle-aged man in luxurious clothes hurriedly instructed his son.
Walking into the academy, the fresh scent of vegetation wafted over.
Moreover, as they went deeper, Quan Yi and Huo Wu could clearly feel the signals of soul power leaping.
However, the effect was not very obvious, it was a faint feeling.
"Xiao Yi, does this feeling resemble a simulated environment?"
Huo Wu was amazed. There was no fire in sight, and it was clearly a vibrant forest, so why would there be such an effect?
"Mm."
Quan Yi also felt the subtle changes.
Moreover, he always felt that this environment felt familiar to him.
Ah!
It's the Bokeno Soul Beast Forest.
The Bokeno Soul Beast Forest was the place where Quan Yi hunted his first soul ring, and it was also a forest where volcanoes existed.
This feeling is like being in a volcano.
Quan Yi pondered, then glanced towards the ground.
"Roar~, as expected of a genius soul master, your perception is indeed very sharp." At this time, Gao Li, the director of teaching affairs who was walking in front, turned around and praised.
"Your perception is not wrong. The entire academy can be considered a huge fire-attribute simulated environment training ground. This is still the outer area, the effect inside will be stronger.
The reason why it has such an effect is because a large number of flame veins flow beneath the academy.
And our academy is built on top of the flame veins."
Sure enough.
Gao Li's explanation confirmed Quan Yi's guess.
However, this still did not prevent Quan Yi from being shocked.
To achieve this effect, the ground must contain incomparably vast flame veins.
After walking for a while, various building complexes began to appear in the depths of the forest.
Their overall design was more ancient than the primary academy, with a sense of antiquity.
Giving Quan Yi a feeling of rich tradition.
Inside the principal's office.
The academy principal was warmly welcoming Quan Yi and Huo Wu's arrival.
"Welcome to you both. I have already received news from Dean Huo in advance. We have already arranged a detached dormitory for you, and Director Gao will be arranged to take you to check in later. You don't need to worry about this."
The intermediate academy principal, named Wu Jie, was a tall, thin middle-aged man.
Judging from the aura emanating from him, Quan Yi sensed that he was likely a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse.
"Dean Wu, I would like to ask about the specific arrangements for courses and training."
Quan Yi was most concerned about the academy's arrangements.
"Well, we have prepared individual teachers for your courses, who will specialize in personalized education according to your teaching progress.
As for the most important team battle training, we will arrange it in the afternoon. However, you don't need to be too anxious, we will notify you when you are ready," Wu Jie explained unhurriedly.
"Okay, thank you, Principal," Quan Yi did not continue to press.
"Please follow me."
Again, it was Gao Li, the director of teaching affairs, who tirelessly led the way for them, and the dean even personally welcomed them.
It could only be said that the Huo family's energy was astonishing.
Since the academy was built in the forest, the internal terrain of the academy was very different.
But the overall area could be judged by the building complexes.
However, the place Gao Li was leading them to was far away from the crowds and buildings.
"Where is this going? The student dormitory area shouldn't be here, right?" Quan Yi asked in confusion.
"The location of the detached dormitory is not there," Gao Li explained.
Stepping on a narrow forest path and continuing to move forward into the depths, the two people's eyes suddenly opened up.
"Wow! How beautiful," Huo Wu couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the scene in front of her.
Crossing the forest, what was displayed in front of them was a wide scene.
A sparkling transparent lake stood in the sunlight, and a simple detached wooden house stood on the lakeside.
Like a secret realm in the forest.
It was hard to imagine that there would be such a quiet residence in the depths of the forest.
"This is your dormitory," Gao Li introduced to the two.
"Wait, you? There are two of us, but there is only one villa here," Quan Yi noticed the suspicious point.
"This is the highest-level accommodation in the academy. There is only one building in the entire academy. However, please rest assured, there are many rooms inside, and two people can completely live in it," Gao Li explained calmly.
Gao Li was actually also confused about this arrangement, but this was the dean's order, and she could only execute it.
"Let's go, let's go. This place is so beautiful."
Huo Wu was completely attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of her at this time.
She grabbed Quan Yi and ran into the wooden house, jumping and skipping.
The wooden house was a two-story villa.
Walking into the house, what first came into view was the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the first floor.
Through the glass, the tranquil lake scene was unobstructed.
Pushing open the window, a gentle breeze rolled up water vapor and poured into the room.
"Ah~, so nice!" Huo Wu took a deep breath and sincerely praised.
The beautiful scenery washed her soul, and the environment completely relaxed her.
"Let's live here," Huo Wu was completely captivated by the scene and couldn't move her feet anymore.
Moreover, the thought of only two people living here made Huo Wu even more reluctant to leave.
Huo Wu immediately grabbed Quan Yi, her eyes full of pleading.
"Okay, let's live here."
Quan Yi, who doted on Huo Wu, couldn't refuse Huo Wu's request.
Moreover, the environment here was indeed very pleasant, and living here was indeed very satisfying.
"It's good that you are satisfied. Some daily necessities have been prepared in the underground warehouse, enough for you to live for a month.
Moreover, every month, there will be special personnel to transport supplies. Then you can wander around, I will go back first," After saying that, Gao Li left the two behind and quickly left here.
