Chapter 88: Saint Laurent Academy (3)

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Two days went by very quickly and Shen Yanxiao was about to set off for Saint Laurent Academy. The two unruly kids, Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei, would set off on the same day too. They had enrolled in the academy’s Magic and Battle Aura Division respectively a year ago. However, since they had yet to break through to the sixth rank, they had to stay at the outermost circle in the academy. The Herbalist Division that Shen Yanxiao had wanted to join was located at the core of Saint Laurent Academy, and it was some distance away from where they were headed. Shen Feng did not wish for Shen Yanxiao to attract any unwanted attention. Therefore, he had ordered the carriage that she was in to set off first.

The Saint Laurent Academy would accept new students every spring and autumn. It would always cause an upsurge in the Longxuan Empire during that period.

One would see many new students who wanted to enroll in the Saint Laurent Academy in spring. The carriages would always crowd the academy gates even though it had tens of meters of width. It would be so crowded that it was almost impossible for the students to go through the gate. The students would bustle with activities, similar to ants that were densely packed, as they walked around the public square of the Saint Laurent Academy.

“Hey, have you heard? The young master of the Black Tortoise Family, who came every year, is here again.” A few students who participated in the enrollment test were bored and had gathered together to gossip.

“He’s still unwilling to admit failure, how many years has it been? He should be sixteen this year, right? I remember that he had wanted to enroll for the Herbalist Division when he was fourteen years old. It has been two years, but he did not pass a single one of those four tests. This should be his fifth attempt, and he’s still unwilling to give up?”

“Well, I’m sure you know. Among the members from five great aristocratic families, that kid from the Black Tortoise Family is the only one who hadn’t successfully passed the test. I’m sure the Black Tortoise Family feels embarrassed and so, they made him repeat the test over and over again.”

“You’re right. I heard that the two youngest members of the Vermilion Bird had successfully entered the Magic and Battle Aura Division last year. Right now, only that little young master from the Black Tortoise Family is still rejected by the academy. Why is he taking things so hard? Any division would be good enough for him, but why does he insist on enrolling for the Herbalist Division? With Black Tortoise Family’s power, it isn’t impossible to get him a place in other divisions!”

“Who knows? However, it seems like none of the members from the five great aristocratic families had been able to enter the Herbalist Division. He’s probably thinking of an unconventional gambit?”

“Wait a minute… why do I remember as if there’s someone else other than that little young master who hadn’t entered Saint Laurent Academy yet?”

“Hahaha, you can’t possibly be talking about that humiliation of the Vermilion Bird Family? Stop joking. Who doesn’t know that she’s a good-for-nothing and an idiot too? She can’t even get into the subsidiary Magic and Battle Aura Division, let alone the other divisions. Don’t tell me that you expected the Vermilion Bird Family to send that idiot here to disgrace them?”

A group of some first-year students happily discussed the five great aristocratic families who had received the most attention in the Longxuan Empire. A petite figure silently stood beside them and eavesdropped on their gossips as a friendly smile surfaced on her unattractive face.

“Is it that hard to get into the Herbalist Division?” The certain someone who had eavesdropped on the gossip suddenly asked.

It was only then that the group had noticed the presence of a young lad who stood beside their group.

When did he get there? How come none of them had noticed him? Wasn’t his sense of presence a little too low?!
