Ye Ling silently nodded at Hong Xiu's words.
Then, he suddenly asked, "So… Teacher Hong, where are we going now? Are you taking me to my accommodation?"
Hong Xiu nodded. "That's right. Your paperwork is all done. I'll hand it over to the teacher in charge of your Vermilion Bird Class. You don't need to go to class today. Your batch will officially start training tomorrow. As for the training methods within the Academy, you'll find out tomorrow."
She didn't elaborate on what the training would be like, but one thing was certain: it wouldn't be the same as at Skyshine High School.
Ye Ling couldn't guess what kind of training it would be.
They walked along the road for a while until they reached a villa area, which was mostly where the Academy's teachers lived.
Students generally couldn't live here, but Ye Ling was an exception.
"This standalone villa will be your residence from now on. But Ye Ling, let me remind you again, you must focus on improving your skills. Otherwise… this kind of treatment won't last long, understand?"
After the introduction, Hong Xiu spoke earnestly. She wasn't trying to scare him; it was just the truth. Without demonstrating the necessary abilities, one couldn't enjoy such privileges.
"Understood, Teacher Hong. I won't fall behind," Ye Ling replied seriously, nodding.
Having finally arrived at Vermilion Bird Academy and receiving such good treatment, Ye Ling certainly didn't want to lose it. If he couldn't lead the pack with the system's help, it would be truly embarrassing.
Hong Xiu smiled with satisfaction at his response. "Alright, you can go in now. The ID card I gave you is linked to this villa. From now on, you're the only one who can use it. No one else can enter without authorization. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
"Goodbye, Teacher Hong!" After seeing Hong Xiu off, Ye Ling finally stood at the villa's entrance.
In his previous life, he had never lived in such a large place. This was a first for him.
Even in his past life, he had never lived in such a luxurious villa.
Given the housing prices in his previous life, buying a standalone villa was beyond his financial reach.
He took out his ID card and swiped it at the door.
"Beep beep!"
After recognizing the ID card, the villa's door slowly opened.
He stepped inside and found himself in a very large living room, with sunlight streaming in from outside.
At a glance, although the hall's decor was simple, it was very exquisite.
The black marble floor was as bright as a mirror, and the tiles shone.
A luxurious crystal chandelier hung in the center of the hall, casting shadows on the soft carpet from the high walls around it.
The villa had two floors, with the second floor being the living quarters.
The bedroom was equally impressive. Standing inside, he could clearly see the scenery in front of the villa, with numerous red maple trees in view.
Ye Ling was naturally very satisfied with such a residence.
Compared to the small room he had stayed in before, this standalone villa was incredibly luxurious.
After thoroughly exploring the villa, Ye Ling didn't forget about his two little darlings.
"Blood Phantom, Feng Jiu, come out."
Back in the living room, Ye Ling summoned his two spiritual pets.
An orange bird flew out from the Spiritual Pet Seal and eagerly landed on Ye Ling's shoulder.
Then…
It started pecking at Ye Ling's ear incessantly.
"Why did it take so long?! Why did it take so long to let me out? You promised it wouldn't take long! You lied to me!"
While pecking, Feng Jiu scolded Ye Ling in a sweet voice.
When they were on the airship, Ye Ling had promised them it wouldn't take long to let them out.
But after getting off the airship, it took a lot of time to get to the Academy, register, and meet Principal Vermilion Bird.
All this back and forth took a lot of time.
While still in the Spiritual Pet Seal, Feng Jiu had been complaining that Ye Ling was unreliable and didn't keep his word.
As for Blood Phantom, she silently listened to Feng Jiu's complaints, occasionally chiming in.
Compared to the fiery and somewhat tsundere Feng Jiu, Blood Phantom was as calm as water.
As soon as she came out, Blood Phantom hugged Ye Ling's arm and quietly stayed by his side, forming a stark contrast to the noisy Feng Jiu.
"Ouch! It hurts! Stop pecking! Jiu, if you keep this up, my ear will fall off." Unable to bear the constant pecking, Ye Ling quickly reached out to stop her.
