I stood at the entrance of the university, observing the many temporary tents set up outside the campus. Inside, numerous young and beautiful Senior Sisters were smiling as they answered questions from the freshmen, creating a particularly pleasant sight.
There were also many sun-kissed and handsome upperclassmen standing outside the tents, holding signs for their respective colleges. They guided freshmen from the same college to complete their enrollment procedures and escorted them to their dormitories.
Everything looked wonderful. Although there were many people at the school gate, it didn’t feel chaotic at all. Watching this scene made me even more excited about life at university.
At that moment, a sophomore wearing a red school uniform approached me. He flashed a sunny smile and asked, "Junior, you look so handsome. Are you from the College of Civil Engineering?"
Seeing the bright smile on his face deeply touched me. During this time, I had encountered many Ghostly Beings with sinister smiles, and it had been a long time since I had seen such genuine warmth on a stranger's face.
For a moment, I was lost in thought. Noticing my expression, the upperclassman smiled again and repeated his question.
Feeling a bit shy after hearing his inquiry, I scratched my ear and quickly pulled out my acceptance letter. After searching through it carefully, I replied, "Senior, I'm not from the College of Civil Engineering. I think I'm from the College of Physical Education, Martial Arts Department, Chinese Ancient Martial Arts Major."
"Uh, junior, what kind of major is that? It's my first time hearing about it," he said with a furrowed brow. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "It seems like no one from your college came to welcome the freshmen. Why don’t you stick with me for now? I'll help you with your enrollment procedures."
I was taken aback by his words for two seconds. Today was clearly the day for new students to report in; typically, colleges with larger numbers would send out over twenty upperclassmen to guide them. Even those with fewer than a hundred students would send five or six seniors to welcome newcomers. Yet here I was in the College of Physical Education with not a single senior to greet me, which made me feel somewhat uneasy.
After pondering for a while, I realized that while having someone guide me would be more convenient, he and I were not from the same college. From what I had learned before coming here, each college's office was located in different places and separated by at least ten minutes of walking distance. If I let this senior take me to handle my enrollment procedures, it might waste a lot of his time.
Thinking about this, I decisively shook my head and smiled as I said, "Thank you, senior, but I don't want to trouble you. I'll manage on my own."
The senior nodded with a smile. He took out his phone and exchanged contact numbers with me before saying, "Junior, be careful on your own. If you encounter anything unclear, feel free to call me or ask others nearby."
I chatted casually with the senior for a few moments when a large group of new students approached. The senior smiled and waved goodbye to me, holding up his sign as he continued to greet the other newcomers.
I turned to look at the other new students like myself and noticed He Ying pulling along a stylish red suitcase. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she gazed at the handsome seniors around her. A smile spread across her face as she murmured to herself, "Wow, there are so many good-looking guys! This time, my choice of major really suits me. I'm going to strike it rich!"
Watching He Ying, I furrowed my brow in confusion. I had arrived earlier than her, yet she only showed up at the university gate about ten minutes after me. It was clear that she had left everything at her shop in Hu Yalong's hands; she was now essentially a hands-off manager.
He Ying's decision to come here so quickly stemmed from seeing the Soul Nourishing Stone in Hu Yalong's possession. Although she didn't know much about Hu Yalong, she trusted Liu Zhenxian within the stone. Coupled with her uncertainty about how to face Liu Zhenxian, it made sense that she hurried to report to the university.
"How did He Ying get here so early? Doesn’t she need to sort out things at her shop first? This is really strange," I muttered to myself. However, considering that I hadn’t yet confided in He Ying about my situation with Liu Zhenxian, I took advantage of her distraction and quietly slipped into the school with my suitcase.
There were many people standing at the school entrance, so my departure went unnoticed by He Ying.
Once inside, I saw numerous directional signs along the roadside. After carefully examining them, I finally found the address of the Sports College where I was enrolled.
Following the arrows, I quickly located the office building of the Sports College. I began processing my enrollment by paying various fees one by one. By the time I finished all my tasks, it was already around five in the afternoon.
Since there were very few students in the Chinese Ancient Martial Arts Major, I was assigned to a single dorm room—this was my only piece of good news for the day.
Sitting on the edge of my bed, I couldn't help but frown deeply. Reflecting on what had happened earlier, I analyzed aloud, "Something feels off here. The school leaders were clearly in the office building, yet despite wandering around for so long, I didn’t see any seniors from my major. What’s going on?"
My unease grew stronger. After thinking for a moment, I stood up from my bed and said to myself, "Military training is about to start; I should go familiarize myself with the college situation. If any issues arise later on, I'll have a slight advantage."
With that thought in mind, I stepped out of my dorm and began walking along a path, stopping intermittently as I explored the campus.
At that moment, two third-year seniors walked past me, exchanging words. "Did you hear? Our school has opened a new major, something like the Chinese Ancient Martial Arts Major. I wonder what they're actually teaching."
"This major seems to have emerged from the College of Physical Education, so it should be some kind of sports curriculum. But that's not the main point. The important thing is that the other specialized teachers from the College of Physical Education are going to challenge the instructors of this new major. I wonder how that will turn out. Let's go take a look; it should still be going on."
With that, the two seniors headed toward the nearby gymnasium. I felt a strong curiosity about what they were discussing, so I followed closely behind them as we made our way to the gym.
