Ye Ling was filled with curiosity about the upcoming life at Vermilion Bird Academy.
Although he had gathered some information about the four Spirit Tamer Academies, it was still quite limited.
Without seeing it firsthand, there would always be a significant gap in understanding.
All Ye Ling knew was that Vermilion Bird Academy was located in the southern part of the Sacred City, covering an area of nearly fifteen thousand acres.
One could imagine how vast this area was.
Just one academy alone was almost as large as half of Skyshine City.
But this was quite normal, considering Skyshine City was located in a remote area with scarce resources, making it impossible to develop into a large city.
With Vermilion Bird Academy alone being so expansive, and adding in the Azure Dragon Academy in the east, White Tiger Academy in the west, Black Tortoise Academy in the north, and some other academies, it was hard to imagine how enormous the entire Sacred City was.
After a tearful farewell, it was finally time to leave.
Compared to other Spirit Tamer Academies, Ye Ling’s group had the fewest people, just him and Yun Yi.
Standing at the front, Hong Xiu looked at her two students without feeling downhearted.
On the contrary, she felt quite pleased.
Even if she hadn’t recruited Yun Yi and only had Ye Ling, she wouldn’t have felt any regret.
Ye Ling alone was worth many talented students.
The reason for recruiting Yun Yi was mainly to avoid the embarrassment of not having a single female student.
It could be said that Yun Yi’s admission to Vermilion Bird Academy was purely due to good luck.
The only two girls in the top ten had both entered Black Tortoise Academy, leaving Hong Xiu no choice but to take Yun Yi, who ranked just outside the top ten.
“Ye Ling, Yun Yi, follow me. We’re about to depart.”
With that, Hong Xiu led the way onto the airship of Vermilion Bird Academy.
Ye Ling and Yun Yi quickly followed.
Upon boarding the airship, they found it to be truly spacious.
The interior decorations were also very beautiful, likely because Vermilion Bird Academy was an all-girls school, giving the decor a feminine touch.
Walking along the corridor inside the airship, they soon reached a row of rooms.
At this point, Hong Xiu stopped and turned to Ye Ling and Yun Yi.
“Alright, these two adjacent rooms will be your living quarters for the next few days. The facilities inside are complete, so feel free to use anything.”
With that, Hong Xiu handed them two cards.
Hearing that these were their living quarters, Yun Yi eagerly took her card and opened the door to her corresponding room.
Inside was a clean and tidy room.
Although it didn’t look very large, considering it was on an airship, it was quite impressive.
Ye Ling also took the card from Hong Xiu but didn’t rush to open his door.
He could tell that Hong Xiu had more to say, and the room wasn’t going anywhere, so he wasn’t in a hurry.
“Yun Yi, don’t rush into the room just yet. Come, I’ll show you the dining area and other parts of the airship.”
Seeing Ye Ling not rushing to his room, Hong Xiu nodded in satisfaction and spoke to Yun Yi, who was about to enter her room.
If Hong Xiu had a bad temper, she might have scolded Yun Yi for not waiting for the teacher to finish speaking.
Hearing Hong Xiu’s voice, Yun Yi realized the teacher was still there. She had been too curious and eager to see the room.
Although she had been on airships and stayed in airship rooms before, she had never seen an academy-style airship, so she was naturally curious.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Yun Yi quickly closed the door and stood beside Ye Ling.
“Alright, this way. The dining area is not far ahead. Meals will be served at specific times, with a variety of dishes available.
But be mindful of the time; the food will be removed after a certain period.”
Following Hong Xiu’s explanation, Ye Ling and Yun Yi soon arrived at the dining area.
It looked very clean and tidy, without a trace of grease.
Afterward, Hong Xiu took Ye Ling and Yun Yi around the airship, giving them a good understanding of its layout.
By this time, the airship had started to vibrate gently.
Not only the Vermilion Bird Academy airship but all the academy airships began to vibrate.
One by one, the airships started to ascend from the East Gate of Skyshine City.
People below waved their hands vigorously, bidding farewell to those on the airships.
No one knew how many would return in glory and how many would be buried in foreign lands.
“Son! Do your best!”
“We’ll be waiting for you here!”
“Take care! Stay safe!”
…
Everyone below shouted loudly, bidding farewell to the children on the airships.
Back inside the Vermilion Bird Academy airship.
Hong Xiu brought Ye Ling and Yun Yi back to their rooms.
“We’ve taken off, and it’s getting late. After today’s battles, you must be tired. Rest well.
Tomorrow morning at eight, after breakfast, come to the training room. I’ll explain more about Vermilion Bird Academy.
By the way, my room is the outermost one. If you need anything, you can come to me. But if it’s not urgent, please wait until tomorrow. Goodnight.”
With that, Hong Xiu turned and walked to her room, leaving Ye Ling and Yun Yi standing there.
Yun Yi turned to Ye Ling, smiling.
“Ye Ling, to be honest, I really owe it to you this time. If it weren’t for you, I might not have gotten into Vermilion Bird Academy.”
