According to the score, the top ten disciples were assigned to the best class in the St. Helier Magic Academy—Black Thorn. Although there were only ten disciples in this class, all of their mentors were the best in the academy, and they could practice every kind of magic with the best distribution, moreover the strength of their mentors were very strong, which made people be unable to help but be shocked.
In addition, the residences in which these ten disciples were assigned were also the best single rooms. It was also convenient to protect the privacy of these disciples without being squeezed into one room with several other disciples just like the other disciples.
On the first day of the academy, these new disciples didn't immediately start studying and only were assigned to their classes and rooms. This day, for the rest of the time they had left they were free to move around and familiarize themselves with the new environment of the St. Helier Magic Academy.
After Elvis got the key to his room, he did not immediately enter the room. All of his important things were placed inside the storage bag that he carried on his person, and he also was not in a hurry to enter the room to place the items. With Li Luo in his embrace, Elvis strolled around the huge campus.
The St. Helier Magic Academy had been in the Wate Empire for thousands of years, and each building seemed to have a long history of its own, as if one was able to see the glimpse of its glorious history for thousands of years through these buildings.
Li Luo who inside Elvis' bosom, turned his head around as Elvis walked, his amber colored cat pupils also continuously moved around as he looked at the scenery in his surroundings. As an otaku who always stayed at home and barely went outside, he only saw such ancient buildings in Western style on the computer.
After he arrived in this world, he had only lived a normal life with Elvis for a few months, and almost always stayed in the room, and basically only went out several times. After that, he and Elvis entered the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, and started the lifestyle of eating and sleeping outdoors. They occasionally went to the city to sell the crystal cores of magical beasts. However he never saw any buildings like St. Helier Magic Academy before.
Elvis walked straight in the direction of a small lake, the water was dark blue and clear like a mirror, in the middle was a pavilion with a string of wisteria flowers hanging on its domed roof, Elvis stopped his footsteps after he was inside, then sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion while holding Li Luo.
The bright sunlight projected on Elvis' face through the gap between the wisteria flowers, seemed to make his body glow with a dense layer of mild purple rays of light. Elvis leaned on the stone pillars of the pavilion, while his hand caressed Li Luo's long fur, and looked at the water of the lake that could clearly reflect their figures and the surrounding scenery. His azure eyes were just like the dark blue water of the lake which was reflecting his shadow, sparkling bright under the sunlight, seemingly clear and incomparable, but also made people unable to see through.
Although Elvis wanted to let Li Luo change into human form, he had no choice but to be careful, as the possibly of other people showing up in this area were high at this time, he clearly understood what it meant to have a magical beast who able to change into human form, it was just like carrying a very precious treasure, but didn't have the ability to protect it, just like a young child who was holding a gold bar and standing in a street full of people, it was simply impossible to protect the treasure within his bosom. He wouldn't take any risks until he could totally confirm Li Luo's safety.
Now he was still not strong enough to make people feel fearful of him, in addition he also couldn't perfectly and smoothly control his dual ability of magic and body strength yet, as long as there was someone with a higher rank than him, and fought with him for a long time, they would inevitably find his flaws and secrets. He was also practicing the scrolls recorded by that previous senior, he now already cultivated up to the ninth layer, and was only lacking one layer from great success, it was said that after he finished cultivating it, he could freely switch between using the abilities of a mage and a warrior, of course, he would also be able to use them together.
What Elvis wanted now was to be able to enter the huge library of St. Helier Magic Academy and find the shortcoming part of his magic scrolls. Only when his foundation was built solidly, he could learn the more advanced magic, only then he could practice the magic scrolls that he inherited from the previous Saint Magus.
However, it was really making Elvis feel a bit depressed, as he could only touch his beloved in beast form most of the time, also was unable to talk to him. Now he couldn't completely have Li Luo, but normal communication should still be able to satisfy him, right?
Elvis' pupils slightly sank, he lowered his head and looked down at Li Luo on his lap, who seemed to be enjoying his touch, and asked, "Ludwig, when can you and me communicate through divine sense?"
After Li Luo heard Elvis' words, he immediately opened his cat pupils wide for a moment, before silently turning his head and covering his eyes with his paws. After this period of time he could change into human form, all of his attention was immediately attracted by this, what his mind always thought was how to increase his time in human form, and he absolutely forgot about this matter.
In fact, after he turned into a cat, it never crossed Li Luo's mind that he would be able to communicate with Elvis using divine sense just like how he was with Xiao Qi, or he could directly speak to Elvis in beast form. However he was also reading the book's setting, that when he could fully master the change into human form, and Elvis' level was increased by one, he could open these two functions, before when he was in beast form, he could only let out a meow-meow-meow sound, and only when he turned into human form, could he communicate with Elvis using language.
Even though he found out this pain in the ass setting, Li Luo did not call out Xiao Qi, and used the chance left from his previous world to purchase the item. As Xiao Qi had been telling him previously that although Li Luo had the right to use the chance that he accumulated in the previous world, he had to complete 10% of the progress bar in this world before he could open the shopping center. Even if he accumulated more purchase chances in the future, if he did not have at least 10% progress in his task, there would be nothing he could do about it.
This garbage setting, he also could only obey.
Recently his time in human form had been increased very high, he had forgotten about this matter. He decided to wait until Elvis fell asleep this evening to sneak out and call Xiao Qi to see if there were any good items he was interested in, in the shopping center.
"En? What's wrong?" When he saw Li Luo's actions, Elvis couldn't help but frown slightly, he couldn't help but reach out his finger and scratch the cat's small chin, as the fluffy and round kitten instantly squinted his eyes and let out a meow sound.
After a while, the small round cat seemed to finally react, he immediately extended out his paws and pressed on Elvis' finger. The amber colored eyes looked at Elvis with annoyance and dissatisfaction, as he bared his teeth at him. Elvis' eyes flashed a smiling expression, he simply ignored the resistance of his own cat, and turned him over, he leaned his body over while reaching out his hand and touched the cat's soft belly.
At Elvis' hand that was unceasingly stroking him, Li Luo threw away his resistance to the comfortable touch, he could not resist his cat nature, and began to let out a purring sound from his throat.
Just as the two were getting along harmoniously, a voice suddenly came out, "Elvis."
The smiling expression in Elvis' eyes immediately disappeared without a trace. He pulled back his hand from Li Luo and placed his hand on his back, his azure eyes looked in the distance silhouette without any waves—it was Tals.
Tals' eyes flashed hate and jealous emotions, before immediately disappearing without trace. He never anticipated that the previous waste that lost all of his magic power was unexpectedly able to change his misfortunes, in one swoop, not only he did recover his magic power, he also became the focus of everyone.
The unwillingness and envious thoughts that he had when Elvis was in the limelight and when he had been suppressed by Elvis once again hit his heart.
Tals strode through the aisle above the water surface and went to the pavilion where Elvis was sitting. His pair of light gray eyes looked at Elvis in disgust, "Elvis, you are very awesome. In two years, not only was your magic power restored, but you also became a three star Scholar Magus." His tone of speaking was full of envy and jealousy.
Elvis pretended that he didn't hear, he merely raised his head and gave Tals a glance, still sitting as motionless as a mountain.
Tals continued, "Do you still want to come back to the clan, and enjoy the previous treatment?" Tals naturally knew that Elvis had directly left Mika City without any words because of his grandmother. He even sold the house where he had been staying for more than ten years, but who would know whether his decision didn't change now?
"Heh." Elvis finally looked straight at Tals, while his hand stroking the snowball like cat who laid on its stomach with not light not slow pace. His azure colored eyes seemed to be able to see through the people hearts at a glance, making Tals feel inexplicably icy cold from head to toe, "Come back, why would I want to come back?" After he finished speaking, there was an invisible sneer that showed on Elvis' face, he quickly picked up Li Luo, and directly walked past Tals, leaving the pavilion.
The dark blue water of the lake was still calm, as the breeze blew lightly, making a large string of wisteria flowers sway gently in the wind, and the air was filling with a light fragrance.
Tals was standing still inside the pavilion for a long time before his spirit came back, he trembled a few times, before his face finally regained some color. At that moment, he almost thought he would be killed by Elvis.
Afterwards, the fear in his heart just a moment ago rapidly turned into rage, which burned inside his heart, his eyes looked maliciously towards the direction where Elvis was disappearing, "Since you say so, then you are not one of our Roxis Clan members anymore. In that case, even if I do something, it will not violate our clan rules." After saying that, he also left the pavilion, as his figure disappeared after a moment.
