1693: An Eccentric Academy

An Eccentric Academy

Let's not talk about the outdated single bed and single chair being the only furniture in the room.2

Just look at those bumps and hollows in the dirt walls. They looked like they hadn't been maintained in years.

There was nothing in the room to speak of!

When Qiao Mu started living here two days ago, that plank bed was so dirty, and they didn't even provide a cotton mattress.

It was all thanks to the abundant daily necessities that she stored inside her storage talisman that she was able to make a comfortable bed for herself. Afterwards, she was even able to lend the little fatty and Qi Xuanxuan two sets of bedding too.

"Qiaoqiao." The little fatty called her from outside.

Qiao Mu pulled open the door and saw the little fatty walk inside while sweating profusely. He was dripping with sweat as he informed her, "Dean Yun has returned. Mentor Wei Xu wants us to assemble at the front of Academy Peak."

"Hehe, we can finally complete our registration!" The little fatty smiled while rubbing the back of his head.

He had waited so long for this day to come!

"The other two senior brothers from the second year and also a third-year senior brother will be coming. Everybody will soon be able to meet." The little fatty chattered excitedly, "I heard Ma Ta say that those three senior brothers are incredibly talented. They are not inferior to Senior Brother Duanmu!"

Speaking of which, this Apex Academy was rather amusing.

Its name was "Apex Academy," but it didn't seem to be the apex at all.

Before they took part in the entrance exam, there were no more than five students total in the entire academy.

Including Ma Ta, there were three second-year students, while there were only two in the third year!

It was completely valid for them to declare that they did not accept more than three people each year…

Because at present, even after accounting for Qiao Mu's group of three, the number of students in the entire academy could be counted on two hands.

Really, which academy in this Shuntian Prefecture had a student body of less than ten?

Apex Academy was such a place!

When it came to the number of students, Apex Academy would immediately lose to any random small academy.

No matter how small an academy was, they would have at least a hundred students, no?

Yet Apex Academy was just that eccentric. They had only admitted nine students in three years. It was said that one of the students had even left the academy, which caused a very unhappy affair for the academy's mentors.

There were 103 peaks on the Lava Mountain Range, but there were only a handful that were livable.

Excluding the Moyun Cliff where Dean Yun resided, the mentors stayed on Mentor Peak, while the students studied, lived, and ate on Academy Peak.

In other words, there were actually quite a number of small dirt houses on Academy Peak.

When advertising, they said that the accommodations at Apex Academy were superb, that every student would have their own personal room, yet…

Could this small dirt house be treated on the same level as a luxurious suite!

Qiao Mu walked out of her small dirt house and told the little fatty, "Xuanxuan hasn't come back yet. I'll wait for her here, so you go to the front first."

The little fatty thought about it before replying with a shake of his head, "I had better go together with you guys."

As they spoke, they saw Ma Ta running over with a grin. He glanced at them and asked, "What are you guys still standing there for? Let's hurry up. Mentor Wei Xu said that there will be an important announcement today."

"We're waiting for Xuanxuan." The little fatty cast him a glance. "What important announcement?"

"That I don't know. The mentor didn't say, but I don't even need to think to know that it will definitely be related to our future training!"

"Tsk." The little fatty scoffed and didn't care to listen to Ma Ta's rambling talk.
