Chapter 8 – Registration Crisis (IV)

——————————————————————————-

Even though the compet.i.tion’s timeline sounded complicated, Yin Zhu was able to remember it in its entirety—all due to his exceedingly powerful memory. In his heart, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat embarra.s.sed. It would be fine if he could just announce that he was the only one partic.i.p.ating, but he needed a total of five people. Was the Divine Music division really trash? Just a moment ago, Xue Ling, Lan Xi, and Hai Yang all seemed to be in favor of the compet.i.tion. Excluding Hai Yang, however, Xue Ling’s and Lan Xi’s spiritual powers were clearly not strong enough, not to even mention they were still missing a person. No wonder Luo Lan looked at him like that. As it turned out, just partic.i.p.ating in the Freshman Compet.i.tion was a challenge.

It was out of the question. He would compete no matter what, even if he was alone. In the end, he still wanted to join. With these thoughts in mind, he asked, “Fei Si Qie La, what are the rules for the compet.i.tion? Five matches, three wins?”

Fei Si Qie La said, “There are three options. Prior to the match, both parties must agree on an option. One option is holding five matches, whichever side reaches three wins will be victorious. Another option is having both teams fight a team battle, five against five. The final option is to start with one player who will continue to fight until he is defeated. This player will then be replaced by one of his teammates upon defeat. If he is strong, then he can accept challenge after challenge. For them to be victorious, however, all of the students on the opposite team have to be defeated.”

“Well, this is the best.” Hearing the last option, Ye Yin Zhu couldn’t help but resolve his heart. This was something he chose to do, so he should be fair and go alone. At worst, he would have to defeat opponent after opponent. He was still unaware, however, of the strength of those whom he would face.

The Milan Inst.i.tution for Magic and Martial Arts was indeed humongous. It took two and a half hours of running to travel from the registration office to the mixed district dormitories. Fei Si Qie La was surprised, even he was gasping for breath. Meanwhile Yin Zhu  seemed to be fine as his complexion hadn’t changed in the slightest.

“Here, room 623.” Fei Si Qie La pointed a finger at one of the bungalows. As expected, the sign that hung from the top had ‘Room 623’ written on it.

“Thank you,  Fei Si Qie La,” Yin Zhu said gratefully.

Fei Si Qie La smiled and said, “No need for thanks. If you really want to thank me, then call me when the beautiful ladies of the Divine Music division are exercising, Idol!”

“Oh, okay.” Ye Yin Zhu didn’t understand the implicit meaning behind Fei Si Qie La’s words. He a.s.sumed that other people were naturally good natured, so he automatically agreed.

Fei Si Qie La left. Alone, Yin Zhu arrived in front of room 623 and used his key to open the door. Just as he was about to set foot in his future dormitory, he noticed there was already a pet.i.te figure bustling around inside.

The work-study dormitory was really small and pathetic. One person could barely squeeze into the bathroom. The so-called living room only allowed two people to properly sit. As for the bedroom, there was practically no open s.p.a.ce with the two beds and a table crammed inside. The pet.i.te figure at this moment was bustling around, cleaning with very swift movements. His whole body was dressed in simple but neat grey clothing. His height approximately reached Yin Zhu’s chest. It was quite obvious that his grey clothing hadn’t been tailored, as it appeared to be somewhat loose. His hands were quite delicate, but they were very nimble. Room 623 was very small, so he had already cleaned the majority of the room.

“h.e.l.lo,” Yin Zhu called out to the pet.i.te figure.

Upon hearing someone enter, the person inside turned around. A handsome yet pale face appeared in front of Yin Zhu. Long brown hair rested on his shoulders, and his pair of big eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with cleverness. His body, however, did not have a healthy complexion. He appeared to be malnourished. The moment he spotted Yin Zhu, he completely blanked out and let the cleaning rag slip from his hand without noticing.

Thinking that he may have scared the other person, Yin Zhu hurriedly said, “I am also living in this dorm. Are we roommates?”

“Eh?” The pet.i.te student reacted to his words and quickly replied, “Yes! It’s just a small room, but please come in.” He stooped down to pick up the cleaning rag from the floor. Through his clever eyes, a flash of astonishment could be seen.

Yin Zhu walked into the bedroom. He didn’t have any luggage, so he only placed his school uniform bundle down onto an empty bed. “h.e.l.lo, I am called Yin Zhu.” He extended a hand towards the pet.i.te student during his greeting.

“h.e.l.lo, just call me Sura for now. Ah! Your hand.” Sura gripped Yin Zhu’s hand and realized that he only had four fingers.
