The Eternal System
System 37: Male Dormitory
The initial greeting from elder Gong was truly shocking, but it made sense. Because the Liliang academy was famous for its reputation that produced great cultivators and spread throughout the land.
If the students who have been given the opportunity do not show fangs or great abilities, then of course they will lose competitiveness and even become an insult to those who are stronger.
Li Chen who thought about it felt that the incident was very close to him. Because when he lost the ability to cultivate, the entire gaze of the eyes that led to him felt like it was being condescending.
Looking despicable and disgusted, Li Chen could not do anything. Because that's the truth. A person who could not cultivate would only be a footrest for those who could do so.
Li Chen tightly clenched his hands, describing his burning ambition.
“(Really. The world is cruel. Those who are strong will be respected, while the weak will only be the subject of humiliation!)”
Shortly after, elder Gong who was standing on the upper balcony resumed his speech.
“If you want strength, then practice. Those who are lazy will not gain strength and honor in society. Because you live in a cruel world. Strength means to everything”
“Liliang Academy stands to shade and help young cultivators like you to become stronger. Teachers and higher-ups here, will accompany you who have strong ambitions. So, feel free to train as hard as you can!”
Hearing these words made the spirit of the disciples smolder. The faint smiles on their faces began to look and find out how ambitious they were in becoming the strongest.
“Alright, I think that's enough. Miss Ying Yue, please take over” elder Gong said as he stepped down
Ying Yue who was summoned by elder Gong also walked forward to the front of the balcony to be seen by all the students gathered in the stadium.
“Salam knows everyone. My name is Ying Yue, the head of the student organization in Liliang academy. I welcome the friendly and happy presence of the new students within the academy. Not only to make the atmosphere more festive, but increase competition between students in the senior and junior” classes
“And for now, I won't announce much. The new students will stay here during their time as academy disciples. You will live in a dormitory that has been shared by the academy, which is a male dormitory and a female dormitory. Both dormitories are located in the eastern part of the academy, and have been given a distance and wall to cover privacy. You can immediately enter the dormitory and put your stuff to rest”
* * * * *
The announcement and greeting also lasted not too long. The disciples who were inside the stadium suddenly dispersed when it was finished and rushed to go to the dormitory that Ying Yue had offended.
While in the middle of the journey, there are two separate paths. To the left is seen the writing ‘dormitory women’, while on the right track is written ‘male dormitory’.
It is only natural that the dormitory will be split into two. Because if put in one place, it will damage morale and also make things that are not desirable at risk.
Li Chen who walked side by side with Li Jia also knew that they could not be together.
“Well, after the announcement we should have known ya” muttered Li Chen
“Iya” said Li Jia while nodding slowly
“Alright, brother will take this path. You also hurry to your dormitory to rest” said Li Chen
“Iya”
Li Jia nodded softly as she returned a wave of Li Chen's hands that parted ways from her. Although his face looks moody because it was separated by his brother, but there is nothing to do. He had to obey the rules set out in the academy.
While Li Chen himself walked through the male dormitory. Unlike the shadow, but the male dormitory looks quite stunning with natural scenery and decorated plants everywhere.
The place looked even more lively, and the fresh air coming into his body was refreshing.
Li Chen muttered as if he himself could not believe what he saw. However, his footsteps did not stop to walk.
Soon, Li Chen arrived at his place. A traditional house that has the same building shape as other houses along the male dormitory.
“If not wrong here...”.
He turned his head left and right making sure his house was right or not. However, it was no different from every house inside the male dormitory. All have the same building shape. The only difference is in the number section of his house.
“Junior - 5. In accordance with the words of Brother Yue, this should be my new residence.”
Li Chen stood at the door of the house for almost 10 minutes. He who thinks about wasting time with his unstable thoughts is no longer holding back.
When he raised his hand and wanted to shift open the door of the house, suddenly there was a voice of a man from behind who was muttering in confusion.
“Junior - 5... junior -5... Ackh, why not meet?!”
The curious Li Chen turned his head back and there he saw a red-haired man who was agitated and looked left right not finding what he was looking for. Li Chen had previously had the man mutter about the number of the same dormitory house as him.
Clumsy, Li Chen stopped him.
“Em, excuse”
The man raised his head and turned towards Jun who stopped him.
“Ya?”
“Are you looking for junior-5 hostel house?”
“Ah, yes. Do you know where it is?!”
The male's eyes turned gleaming as if finding a hope amidst despair. Li chen himself until slightly stunned awkwardly and glanced at left right.
“Ru-house dormitory it is here”
Li Chen turned around as he pointed towards the dormitory house he was going to live in and also the same as the man's.
“Ahh! Turns out I've been through it many times, thank you very much ya!” the man said as he shook Li Chen's hand without stopping
“I-iya, equally” said Li Chen with an awkward smile
Li Chen also pulled his hand back from the handshake that continued to be swayed by the man as if there was no stopping. Soon, the man began to introduce himself.
“Ohiya, sorry for being disrespectful. My name is Lei Jingting, I am one of the new students in Liliang” academy
“My name is Li Chen. Nice to meet you, Lei Jingting”
“No need full name, Jingting alone is enough kok”
“Alright, Jingting. Please cooperate for now and in the future”
