Start With Contracting Sprites - Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Opening Ceremony (4/5)

Liu Ren and the others took out their admission notices and handed them to the Gate God Elephant General for inspection.

Both Gate Gods had mastered unique testing skills. With a glance, they determined that it was a real admission notice.

Its long elephant nose twitched, meaning that it could go in now.

At this point, the few fully automated school buses at the school gate had already disappeared. The new students who were dragging their luggage or carrying large and small bags on their sprites were following the road signs to the Student Administration Office.

Led by their seniors? That didn’t exist.

Unless it was a female junior whose looks were above 85 points, or a male junior whose handsomeness could make his female senior repeatedly turn her head…

All the conditions were met in Su Hao’s team.

Apart from Gu Lingyao’s poor sense of direction and slight forgetfulness, which often required her to be taken care of by sprites, she definitely had beauty.

The three boys…

Liu Ren and Li Songting were holding them back, but Su Hao was the hard carry in the team in terms of his appearances. Often, because he was too handsome, others would neglect his talent.

It was just that he was mistaken for an older student.

The three new students were led by the older student, so no other seniors came forward.

“Where’s Butterfly God?”

Liu Ren asked, “We haven’t seen him in the group for a few days too.”

Reverie Butterfly was an expert in the water group. It had already been the Dragon King for several days in the “Four Little Heavenly Kings” group chat.

Even the Big Mouth Liu was defeated.

Liu Ren was really not used to it suddenly disappearing.

“Reverie Butterfly…” Su Hao shook his head and laughed.

A few days ago, the little rascal had just broken through to elite level. Its various attributes had increased exponentially. When it was playing with its telekinesis, it accidentally used too much force. With a click, several cracks appeared on the phone screen.

The cell phone wasn’t broken.

But it didn’t dare to touch it anymore.

From entry level to elite level, it was a comprehensive improvement. Another spiritual force vortex appeared in the sprite’s body.

In the first few days after entering the elite level, its body was nourished by the spiritual force cyclone. Every day, his attributes improved significantly.

It was a period of rapid growth in strength.

However, the little rascal’s control of spiritual force had also become too poor. Two of the spiritual force crystal balls had been destroyed. Su Hao had ordered a high-level one, but it hadn’t been delivered yet.

The little rascal was currently adapting in the training room in the villa.

“As expected of Butterfly God…”

Liu Ren looked at the Lava Tortoise and said, “When you have a fifth… No, a tenth of the Butterfly God’s strength, it’s good enough.”

The Lava Tortoise turned its head, sparks flying from its nose.

Was he saying that he had any objections?

Liu Ren: No, no.

It was still a bit time-consuming to walk from the school gate to the Student Administration Office.

Su Hao let Liu Ren and the others ride their sprites.

Liu Ren’s Blue Water Frog had already evolved into a Giant Tide Frog. Its size was similar to the Lava Tortoise, and its speed was even faster.

Gu Lingyao’s Spirit Spring Sprite summoned a wave of water, and together with her other sprite, Water-Treading Snail, they used the water to carry her along the way.

Li Songting…

His Ascetic Dog wasn’t big enough.

But he also had another sprite that had just entered the sect—Boxing Kangaroo, evolved from Baby Kangaroo.

It was said that it was an imported sprite from the Australian region. It was considered pretty rare in Dragon Nation.

Boxing Kangaroos were about the size of ordinary kangaroos. It wouldn’t be a big problem for one person to ride on it.

But…

“Are you sure you want to run by yourself?”

Li Songting grinned and showed his teeth. “Of course!”

Su Hao: “Alright.”

…

Su Hao rode the Water Unicorn Beast and made it jog at a constant speed all the way to the Student Administration Office.

The two sprites controlling the water current wrapping around Gu Lingyao were about to run out of spiritual force.

Liu Ren, who slid down from the Giant Tide Frog, was completely pale.

On the other hand, apart from being covered in sweat, Li Songting was also panting slightly.

Impressive!

…

Thanks to their quick speed, there weren’t many students queuing up to go through the procedures.

Before long, Liu Ren and the others got their student cards and Sprite Commandeering wristbands. They also chose their dormitory.

“Old Su, the two villas around you have actually been chosen. I’m so angry!”

Liu Ren really wanted to know who exactly was snatching his spot!

But there was no other way. Lakeview Park was indeed the neighborhood with the best environment. At the location of Su Hao’s villa, when he got up in the morning and pulled open the curtains, he could see the sparkling surface of the lake… Those with good taste had long picked it out.

Only Li Songting didn’t choose Lakeview Park, but chose a neighborhood near a mountain.

In his words, running a few rounds of mountain roads in the morning was the most suitable.

Then,

Su Hao introduced some school facilities to them.

It was impossible to bring them on a tour and introduce them. It was too far away, a waste of time… Su Hao took out a map and pointed at some training grounds and explained.

As Liu Ren and the others listened, they also used the Sprite Commandeering wristband to search for items that credits could exchange for.

“D*mn, the Heart of Secondary Attributes costs 300 credits! The complete Heart of Attributes costs 1,500 credits, and it’s even limited!”

“The Heart of Lava, based on the quality, costs 100 to 250 credits, but it can only be exchanged with credits, not Dragon Nation Dollars! Can’t I spend five times the price!”

If it could be bought with money, Liu Ren wouldn’t have called it expensive.

No matter how much he wailed, it couldn’t change the fact that he had become a poor man.

Su Hao was poor too.

His credits were less than 20.

He could accept missions now, but as the teacher from the Student Office said, there weren’t many missions that a first-year student could choose from.

For example, the mission to hunt down some extremely evil wanted criminals, he couldn’t accept it now.

There were prerequisites.

“The best opportunity to earn credits is indeed in the challenge segment.”

“I need to save on credits in the next few days.”

Fortunately, apart from buying tickets to the training field, Su Hao didn’t need credits anywhere else.

Ordinary nutritional supplements such as jade powder were sold at the Green Shade Supermarket in Whale Port Town outside the school. Orders could also be made directly, and mission birds send them right to the dormitory door.

…

The 15th to 25th of August was the time for the new students to go through the admission procedures.

On the 26th, the opening ceremony was held.

At the school hall.

In Su Hao’s batch, a total of 1,100 new students sat in the auditorium, appearing a little sparse.

As there were no so-called classes and most people didn’t know each other, they sat wherever they wanted.

The school leaders didn’t care.

The school didn’t pay much attention to the rules on the surface.

They cared more about the students’ abilities and morals.

Su Hao looked ahead. The person speaking on the stage was a managing vice president, not a Heavenly King.

Apart from the occasional classes, the eight Heavenly King-level professors basically didn’t control anything else.

The principal, the Crown Sprite Trainer, was even more elusive… It was normal to not see him in school for a year or two.

On the stage, after the Vice President introduced the history and honor of the school, he paused.

“…I’ll make this short, mainly three things.”

“Firstly, universities are the cradle for nurturing you. I hope that all of you can become accomplished and responsible Sprite Trainers, and the school can also provide you with a lot of resources.

“But… it’s not free. Apart from the 100 credits given by the enrollment, when you want credits on other occasions? It will depend on your grades! Your contributions! Only with effort can you gain!”

“Secondly, apart from a few compulsory classes that must be attended, you can choose to attend any other course… However, Sprite Universities have never been a comfortable place. After coming here, you are no longer favored by the heavens, but ordinary students.

“If you fail the final assessment at the end of the semester, your credits will be deducted! If you fail a total of three assessments, you can pack your things and leave… The university doesn’t provide for useless people!”

“The third point is also what many of you are paying attention to. The choice of instructors!

“Every instructor has limited time and energy. If you want to receive an invitation from an instructor? Then you have to show your excellence.”

“Tomorrow, there’s a challenge segment in the simulation battlefield. You can challenge the new students of the same batch, you can challenge many students with your own strength, or… you can challenge your seniors.”

“Everything is up to you.”

“I’m done. Next, the instructors will do a self-introduction before the meeting ends.”

The instructors’ introductions were all in one or two sentences. In less than an hour, the school opening ceremony had ended.
