Moss was no stranger to Kyoto Institute as it was his second time there. Soon, he found the registration counter.

“Hello, student. Are you here to register yourself?” A tall, bespectacled girl asked with a sweet smile when she saw Moss walking over.

Moss nodded, took out his admission notice, and handed it to the bespectacled girl.

The bespectacled girl opened the notice, saw Moss’s name, and carefully sized him up. Her smile became more brilliant as she said somewhat excitedly, “You’re Moss! Please wait a moment while I go and talk to Dean Sofia.”

The bespectacled girl quickly entered the office behind her as she spoke.

“Her movement technique isn’t half bad. It looks like Kyoto Institute has some crouching tigers and hidden dragons.” Moss muttered as he saw the bespectacled girl’s afterimage.

A moment later, a familiar voice sounded, “Well, if it isn’t Moss!”

Moss saw Sofia, still wearing her work outfit, as she hurried over. The bespectacled girl from earlier was behind Sofia, alongside a tall and thin male senior.

Sofia wore light makeup, and her temperament was elegant, radiating a fresh and refined feeling. “I’m thrilled to see you at Kyoto Institute again!” She warmly took the initiative to shake Moss’s hands and gave him a big hug.

Then she looked at the two seniors behind her and said, “Jonya, you will accompany Moss the entire time. You’ll show him around the campus and pass on your experience. Karlos, you will temporarily take over Jonya’s job.”

Sofia looked at Moss again with her signature smile, saying, “Moss, this is Jonya. She’s the best sophomore of the year, so you can ask her for advice on things you don’t know.”

Sofia hugged Moss again. “I’m sorry, but I’m a bit busy, Moss, so I’ll let Jonya accompany you today. I’ll treat you to a meal some other day, okay?”

“Okay, you go ahead. I’ve been here before, so I’m familiar with this place. I can handle myself,” Moss respectfully replied with a smile.

“It’s best to listen to Dean Sofia, Moss. You can save a lot more time that way,” Jonya looked at Sofia and said respectfully, “Leave Moss to me, Dean Sofia. You can rest assured.”

Sofia nodded and left.

After sending Sofia off, Jonya went to Moss’s side and said, “What are you waiting for? Let’s go!”

Moss was about to exit the room when he heard the thin boy mumbling, “Hmm, why is Dean Sofia acting so weird today?”

Indeed, Sofia acted weird. Others knew her as the Ice Queen as she was typically cold toward boys.

“Moss, you’ve completed all your admission procedures, but we can only confirm your dormitory after the freshmen entrance test results are out. The first-year students will temporarily stay in the campus hostel.” Jonya’s big, watery eyes repeatedly darted around, revealing a sense of flexibility.

“Okay, thank you so much for your guidance today,” Moss replied politely yet indifferently.

Jonya noticed Moss did not react when she mentioned the entrance test. She could not help but ask curiously, “Don’t you want to know about the test, Moss?”

“Oh, I already know about it. The institute will assign those with unsatisfactory results to Kyoto Institute’s second campus, right?” Moss said calmly, since the test had nothing to do with him at this moment.

That was a massive difference from the group of freshmen next to him who knew there would be an entrance test the following morning.

“How can Kyoto do this? I received an acceptance letter from them. Why would they assign me to the second campus if my results weren’t good?!” A tall student shouted.

The surrounding students discussed the situation when they heard the student’s words.

“Yeah, why are there different treatments? Kyoto has many advantages and resources, yet they can’t satisfy these hundred or so freshmen?”

“It’s good to be open-minded. The second campus is also part of Kyoto, nonetheless. It’s still better than other colleges.”

“I heard Kyoto has set up entrance exams for more than ten years. Its main purpose is to take the elite cultivation route, teaching every student according to their aptitude.”

Among this group of students in heated discussions, others were interested in the knight profession among this batch of first-year students.

“Have you guys heard? There’s a knight from S Country’s White Deer City among us. He’s the top scorer in S Country’s college entrance exams!”

“Tsk! That’s incredible. If I didn’t hear it myself, I wouldn’t have believed it.”

“Although the teaching standards in S Country aren’t that good, It’s still incredible news that a knight became the top scorer!”

“You guys don’t have to worry too much. We won’t be going to the second campus since there are students from S Country, Y Country, and G Country among us.”

“Haha, you’re right!”

These students would occasionally cast strange looks toward Moss as they spoke. Jonya became angrier when she heard the crowd’s discussions. She was about to step forward to teach the newcomers a lesson when a pair of strong hands pulled her back.

“Senior Jonya, don’t lower yourself to their level. Let’s go. I’ll treat you to a meal.”

People respected professions the most in this society. Since knights had been declining, many criticized that profession for entering an institute like Kyoto, the number one institute in the country.

However, Moss had grown accustomed to it. He enjoyed it when others looked down on him because he knew he could prove his strength to the world.

Jonya discreetly praised Moss when she noticed him acting as if nothing had happened, ‘This Moss kid is quite shrewd.’

Others almost pointed Moss out by name, but his expression remained unchanged as his emotions did not fluctuate.

‘Is Moss really a sixteen-year-old?’

Since the person involved behaved that way, Jonya no longer insisted on teaching those students a lesson. Instead, she smiled sweetly at Moss and said, “You’re new here, so I’ll consider you my guest. I should be the one treating you to a meal.”

Jonya rolled her eyes at the students and pulled Moss away as she continued, “Let’s go, Moss. I’ll bring you somewhere with delicious food!”

“That pretty girl who pulled a freshman along seemed to be a sophomore. I think she’s the campus belle.”

“What’s that kid’s background? He’s already in a heated relationship with the campus bell on his first day of college?!”

The first-year students who saw Jonya dragging Moss away felt jealous.

Nat was a student from L Country’s Qingshe City. She was also L Country’s top scorer in the college entrance exams and had met Moss when they visited the top three institutes.

She also saw the bespectacled girl dragging Moss away and muttered, “So, Moss is that popular, huh? Should I take the initiative to attack now or wait for the right opportunity?”

After some thought, Nat steadied her mind but could not help but blush. She cursed herself for not doing her job, ‘What the hell was I thinking?!’

Then she dragged her suitcase straight to the guest house.
