Outside, Gu Yue abruptly opened her eyes, a lingering look of fear still in them. The experience she'd just had in the holographic simulation was simply too real—the terror of facing death head-on seemed to still coil around her, leaving her momentarily at a loss, her mind blank.
"You're awake. Congratulations on passing the five-star assessment in the holographic strategy. From now on, you're an S-class student of St. Freya Academy." Wei Qianqian's face carried a gentle smile as she looked at the dazed Gu Yue, her gaze soft.
"And you are…?" Gu Yue shook her head, trying to snap herself out of that horrifying experience.
Dying once in the virtual world was a heavy blow to her spirit. She was now listless, and even her voice carried a trace of weakness.
"My name is Wei Qianqian. You can call me Teacher Wei. But as for your enrollment details, I'll let Teacher Wenwen handle those." Wei Qianqian showed no sign of stealing credit; she stepped aside, revealing Wenwen behind her, who greeted Gu Yue with a beaming smile.
Gu Yue nodded lightly, not caring much for these enrollment details.
With her intelligence, it wasn't hard to guess that Teacher Wenwen's enthusiasm was due to some benefits behind the scenes.
But she didn't intend to look into it. After all, it had little to do with her goals.
"Teacher, can I enter the holographic simulation again?" A trace of unwillingness flashed in Gu Yue's eyes. If the previous assessment hadn't drained so much of her energy and soul power, how could she have been instantly killed by Lu Jingming in the six-star trial?
Proud as she was, she simply couldn't swallow this defeat. All she wanted was another match with Lu Jingming to redeem herself.
Of course, besides her unwillingness to lose, she also wanted more of that high-grade energy.
Through the link between her avatar and her true body, she had already transferred a portion of the high-level energy gained in the simulation back to her real body.
As expected, this energy was clearly beneficial for her real form. Though for her serious injuries it was just a drop in the bucket, who knew how much high-grade energy was hidden in St. Freya Academy?
So, she was convinced that coming to St. Freya was the right choice. Here, she could not only observe the power of destruction and creation up close but also have a chance to heal her real body.
Wei Qianqian keenly sensed Gu Yue's dissatisfaction and instantly understood: the girl before her was proud, stubborn, and hated to lose.
"If you want to enter the holographic simulation again, you'll need to exchange credits for it. Credits are distributed to your student card by the academy based on your performance." Wei Qianqian explained patiently, her tone as gentle as a caring older sister.
"Student card?" Gu Yue looked puzzled. She didn't have one.
"Once you complete enrollment with Teacher Wenwen, someone will issue you a student card. No need to worry." Wei Qianqian kept her patience. After all, the girl in front of her was an S-class student—at minimum, her future achievements could reach the rank of Title Douluo. Building a good relationship with such a genius could only be beneficial.
"I understand." Gu Yue nodded, slowly stood up, and followed Teacher Wenwen out of the simulation room, her weary steps gradually fading at the end of the corridor.
"There is the teaching building. All your daily classes will be held there," Teacher Wenwen said, raising her arm to indicate a majestic seven-story building.
The building was pure white, bathed in soft sunlight, glowing gently like a temple of knowledge standing quietly in the campus.
Moreover, to help Gu Yue familiarize herself with the academy, Teacher Wenwen spared no effort, showing her around the entire campus.
Their footprints covered every corner: teaching buildings, faculty buildings, canteen, cultivation area, scenic spots, leisure area, library, and laboratory zone.
The academy's facilities were complete, and every detail showed the utmost luxury. After all, with the simulated universe craze sweeping Douluo Continent, the mastermind Lu Jingming had no shortage of wealth, and his strong financial backing ensured that every facility was built to the highest standards.
Yet, wealth sometimes attracts greed. A year ago, a mysterious Title Douluo sneaked into Haiyuan City.
He was an evil soul master with a bizarre Dark Crow martial soul and terrifying power at level ninety-five.
But as soon as he stepped into the city, Jingliu sensed his evil aura from several kilometers away and casually swung a sword.
Faced with sword energy that tore through space, the evil soul master barely had time to react before losing half his life.
Fortunately, his Dark Crow martial soul had a powerful doppelganger skill, and using this lifesaving ability, he barely escaped with serious injuries.
After this incident, no Title Douluo dared to recklessly enter Haiyuan City again.
After all, even a Super Douluo-level evil soul master was almost killed with a single sword strike. If not for his extraordinary survival skills, the continent would have one less disaster that night.
With Teacher Wenwen's patient guidance, Gu Yue finished her tour of St. Freya Academy.
Afterward, she completed her enrollment and finally received her own student card.
It was a finely crafted card with a silver background and golden edges. Her name "Gu Yue" was clearly printed on the front, and on the back was a striking gold "S"—her student rank.
The student card was no ordinary item. It was not just a symbol of identity, but also a pass for the academy.
Access to many areas required this little card.
Moreover, cards of different levels had different permissions. Students with insufficient rank were strictly forbidden from certain places.
But as an S-class student, Gu Yue could move freely throughout the academy, with few places off-limits to her.
Next, Teacher Wenwen led Gu Yue to the dormitory area.
Surprisingly, they did not head to the regular girls' dormitory but stopped at a luxurious villa complex.
"S-class students enjoy special privileges. Each is assigned a small villa, fully equipped with all living facilities. If you have any special needs, just notify the academy and they'll do everything they can for you."
Teacher Wenwen introduced the area, glancing at the villas with a hint of envy.
After all, compared to the teachers' single dorms, these villas were worlds apart in terms of space and luxury.
