C14 Blue Sky Academy
The homeroom teacher, realizing he might have misspoken, left the bus with an embarrassed look on his face.
Soon after, the bus began its journey to Cilding amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Despite the large turnout for the send-off, there were less than a hundred students from the entire school eligible to take the combat test, amounting to just two buses.
In the entire third grade of Northride School, there were just over thirteen hundred students, making this the best turnout in recent years.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Hai Yunxing, and I will be introducing Blue Sky Academy, which we will reach in about two hours."
Within ten minutes of departure, a bespectacled young man stood up and addressed all the students with a loud voice.
This young teacher, clearly from Blue Sky Academy, exuded a presence unlike any ordinary teacher, carrying with him an inexplicable sense of authority.
"Blue Sky Academy is one of Cilding City's premier Battle Companion Academies and is also a key focus of the Battle Companion Alliance. It boasts a rich history, and the resources and environment at the school are exceptional..."
He then proceeded to give an extensive lecture about the academy, reminiscent of a dedicated tour guide detailing the highlights of a scenic spot.
Feng Yixiu and Shen Ruyu, after listening for a short while, drifted off to sleep midway through the ride.
...
Roughly two hours later, it was the same teacher's voice that roused many of the students who had fallen asleep during the trip.
"Students, we have arrived at Blue Sky Academy. Please disembark orderly and don't wander off. Follow me to the canteen for a meal. After a brief rest, we will proceed with the Battle Companion Awakening Ritual."
The students disembarked in an orderly fashion, eager to retrieve their luggage, only to be informed that it would be delivered to their dormitories later.
Stepping off the bus, Feng Yixiu was immediately struck by the awe-inspiring school gates, which bore the impressive inscription "Blue Sky Intermediate Academy" in bold, spirited lettering.
Had I not been aware that this was an intermediate school, I might have mistaken it for a top-tier university back home.
"Wow! So this is Blue Sky Academy! It's far more impressive than I imagined!" Feng Yixiu couldn't help but marvel.
He had spent most of his days in the small town of Tidrith, seldom having the opportunity to venture out, making it hard for him to contain his excitement.
"Look at you, acting like you've never seen the world before. It's downright embarrassing to be seen with you!" Lee Kaiyuan remarked with a look of disdain.
"If you keep quiet, no one will mistake you for being mute!" Shen Ruyu retorted, her expression darkening.
"You think I want to talk to that country bumpkin? Just don't go around saying we're in the same class. I don't want to be associated with embarrassment!"
With that, Lee Kaiyuan strode off toward the cafeteria without a backward glance, as if associating with Feng Yixiu was beneath him.
"Ah, dear class teacher, I fear I may let you down..." Feng Yixiu sighed in resignation before pulling Shen Ruyu along with him into the cafeteria.
Guided by their teacher, they entered the cafeteria for lunch, where the meals at Blue Sky Academy proved to be both tasty and nutritious.
Once everyone had finished eating, they followed Hai Yunxing to a place known as the "Awakening Hall".
