105: Chapter 105: A Glance Through Ten Thousand Years (Part One) 105: Chapter 105: A Glance Through Ten Thousand Years (Part One) Alfam raised his hand, signaling for all the chattering students to quiet down, and explained indifferently.
“Believe it or not is up to you – belief is sotis just a psychological comfort.
It provides a bit of spiritual support in desperate situations, which isn’t necessarily bad.”
“Do you believe, Teacher?”
Ed asked curiously.
“I personally don’t adhere to these beliefs, but I must tell you sothing.
The statue was personally excavated and erected by the founding principal of Imperial Court Academy.
Moreover, the creation of this statue predates the Federation.
That is to say, the statue existed before the Federation was even established, so the academy has preserved it to this day.”
Alfam replied quite objectively.
“If it was personally erected by the founding principal, then it must be sowhat credible.”
…
At this mont, after hearing the explanation, so students imdiately changed their stance.
However, most of the students were not impressed; after all, tis had changed.
The era of cold weapons had beco a thing of the past.
Alfam didn’t mind the various discussions among the students and raised his left hand to check the ti on his wristband before addressing everyone.
“It’s about ti; it’s almost noon.
Let’s go.”
“Alright!”
Everyone followed Alfam and left.
Su Ming also followed silently behind.
At that mont, the wind suddenly picked up, the surrounding maple trees swayed, emitting a rustling sound, and red maple leaves fell.
Su Ming suddenly paused, stopping in his tracks, turned his head to look back at the statue, his gaze piercing through the falling maple leaves to the solitary statue, as if peering through tens of thousands of years.
Not long after, Alfam led everyone away from the morial park and onto a wide road.
Along the way, Alfam pointed towards the three cup-shaped buildings ahead and explained to all the students.
“The three buildings up front, standing side by side, are the school’s standard cafeterias, which offer various als.
Of course, there is also a corresponding comrcial street outside the school for shopping and dining.
If you are particularly choosy, you can eat outside.”
“Teacher, do the students from the inner school eat in the cafeteria?”
A female student asked with great curiosity.
“Students from the inner school have their own special cafeteria; they normally wouldn’t co here.
But if they wanted to, there would be no problem – however, you cannot go there; the inner and outer schools are completely separate.”
Alfam answered simply.
“Ah, that’s too bad.
I was thinking we could et and make friends.”
“Yeah.”
…
Everyone expressed their disappointnt.
Alfam seed to have grown accustod to such reactions, as the questions asked by every new group of students were mostly the sa.
He continued to lead everyone around the outer school’s more important buildings and introduced them very patiently.
“The returning-shaped building over there is the teaching building, where you will attend classes in the future.
The right-sided building shaped like a Rubik’s cube is the outer school library.
Although so of its books are not as good as those in the inner school library, it excels in the wide variety of books it has collected…”
Rhein and the others all pricked up their ears, listening carefully to Alfam’s introduction.
Their irresponsible instructor would definitely not be so diligent.
Before long, Alfam had introduced most of the outer school’s important academic buildings.
Although they didn’t enter these buildings due to ti constraints, the exterior alone gave a sense of the school’s excellent facilities.
“Up ahead is the dormitory for new students in the cha Departnt.
Your student cards are marked with the dormitory numbers, just find them accordingly.
You can head to the dormitory to rest up and then go to the cafeteria to process your al card for eating.
If you really can’t get used to living in the dormitory, you also have the choice to live off-campus; the school has no objections.
The Imperial Court Academy has developed many residential areas nearby, including villas.”
Alfam revealed a aningful expression as he said the last part.
Su Ming quickly noticed and his eyes showed a hint of suspicion; he felt sothing was amiss but didn’t ask further.
At that mont, one of Alfam’s students excitedly said,
“That’s pretty good; I didn’t expect the school to be so free.
By the way, Teacher, do we officially start school a month later?”
“Yes, there is still a month before official classes start.
But you can’t completely relax; you also need to diligently train with the Training cha during this ti.
The course load will be very heavy once school starts, so don’t fall behind.”
Alfam instructed seriously.
“Yes, Teacher.”
The crowd responded in unison.
“Alright, that concludes the new student orientation; you’re dismissed!”
After announcing, Alfam turned and left.
Su Ming and the others didn’t linger and made their way toward the dormitory buildings, filled with anticipation for their accommodations.
However, when they arrived at the cha dormitory area and saw the dormitory buildings before them, they were all dumbfounded.
The blocky, unremarkable tal dormitory buildings, and what astonished them the most was the cramped balconies jutting out from the dormitory’s façade at a high density.
Su Ming looked at the dormitory buildings before him and thought they looked like pigeon lofts, albeit neater in appearance.
“Is this our dormitory building?
We didn’t go to the wrong place, did we?”
A female student asked, incredulous.
“No, this area encompasses all the cha Departnt’s dormitories.”
The crowd looked sowhat dazed at the nearby signboard, which clearly stated cha Departnt Dormitory Area.
Su Ming sighed softly, then glanced at his student card; his dormitory number was L301.
He headed straight into the L building on the left with Rhein and the others following after a mont.
Soon, Su Ming found dormitory 301, but before he could enter, a bunch of classmates who had caught up behind him were looking at the dorm number and saying,
“301 is right here.”
“I’m also 301!”
“What a coincidence, you’re 301 too?”
“Wait, I am too!”
…
Su Ming turned his head to look at them, a puzzled expression on his face.
“ too.”
“Darn, how many people are we sharing a room with?”
Rhein’s expression couldn’t hold up anymore, and he couldn’t help but complain.
Counting the students gathered at 301, Su Ming sighed and said,
“Ten-person room!”
“No way, it’s worse than the interdiate academy?”
Rhein and the others said in shock.
Su Ming sighed again lightly; though he hadn’t expected a single room for each person, ten to a room was truly beyond his expectations.
But he quickly accepted the reality, pushing open the door to the dormitory.
A roughly fifty square ter room ca into view, tightly fitted with five bunk beds, each with a label attached bearing corresponding nas.
Their luggage had been neatly placed on their respective beds.
Besides that, there was a small, independent bathroom and a balcony for drying clothes.
