Chapter 73 Dormitory Assignment
Su Yuan admired: "You really know everything..."
The blond youth crossed his arms and smiled smugly, "That's nothing. Ever since I got accepted, I've been on the Demon Capital Academy forum every day. In just over a month, I've reached level 8 on the forum!"
So he's a level-8 forum big shot, terrifying indeed!
Su Yuan was still level 2 on the Demon Capital Academy forum, which he had casually leveled up to last time.
"So how is the room assignment determined?" Su Yuan asked again.
If he could get a room to himself, that would be the best. It would be more convenient for life, cultivation, and commuting.
The blond youth replied, "Of course, it's based on entrance exam scores."
Su Yuan nodded. Based on scores, it should be fine. Even though he didn't take the entrance exam, as a special admission student, he should be able to rank within the top 100.
The blond youth sighed, lowered his voice, and said to Su Yuan, "I ranked 2022nd upon entry, so I can only stay in the South Third Garden, the last building of the boys' dormitory..."
"2022?"
Su Yuan was stunned. He took out his phone from his pocket, opened the Demon Capital Academy's official website, and saw this headline on the homepage:
[This year our academy admitted 2029 students. Seven were special admissions, and 2022 were admitted through the national unified professional exam...]
What?!
Su Yuan looked at the blond youth in front of him with some surprise.
Goodness, it turned out that this guy in front of him was the last ranked student at Demon Capital Academy this year!
"It seems you've figured it out. Buddy, your observational skills are sharp!" The blond youth didn't seem embarrassed at all. Instead, he laughed.
Coming in last was still coming in first. To Su Yuan, no matter his grades or talent, this guy's luck value was unmatched. It was simply supreme luck!
Getting in touch and communicating more with someone this lucky would surely allow some of that luck to rub off on him!
Su Yuan extended his hand proactively and smiled, "I'm Su Yuan!"
The youth equally warmly extended his hand to shake Su Yuan's:
"I'm Huang Xiang, pleasure to meet you!"
Huang Xiang?
Su Yuan looked up and saw the blond curls on Huang Xiang's head. He couldn't help but think of something amusing, almost pulling his hand back immediately.
"Huang Xiang, your name... is quite special. It goes well with your hairstyle!"
Huang Xiang coughed twice but seemed used to it over the years, "My parents gave me the name. I can't just change it."
Su Yuan laughed, "That's true. Besides, maybe the name symbolizes that you will definitely surpass to Shining Star level and master flight techniques."
"Right! Su Yuan, you're spot on!"
As Huang Xiang spoke, he suddenly felt that the name "Su Yuan" seemed familiar. It was as if he had seen it somewhere recently...
"Xia Yue, Southern First Garden, Room 9."
At this moment, an especially front-dormitory number was called.
"Southern First Garden, and it's a single-digit room number!"
"A top student!"
"But she doesn't look easy to mess with..."
"Xia Yue? Is that Xia Yue!"
"Ah, right! It's that Xia Yue from Demon City! What is she doing at Demon Capital Academy?!"
...
As the crowd chatted, Su Yuan and Huang Xiang couldn't help but glance ahead.
There was a long-haired girl with red eyes, wearing a stylish red long-sleeve shirt and a black skirt. She was about 5'4", clearly a young lady from a wealthy family.
"It's really Xia Yue!" Huang Xiang's eyes were full of surprise.
Su Yuan asked curiously, "You know her?"
"Of course I do!"
Huang Xiang, a bit excited, began to introduce Xia Yue to Su Yuan, "Xia Yue is the second daughter of the Xia family in Beidou Consortium from Demon City. She's a super talented Bronze Level Fire Element Mage and has over a million followers online! I didn't expect her to leave Demon City and come to Demon Capital Academy..."
Beidou Consortium...
Su Yuan's pupils contracted slightly.
This consortium's strength was ranked in the top ten in Great Flame and even had international business. Apart from their economic power, the consortium was filled with experts, making it an absolute giant!
"When discussing others, couldn't you be quieter?"
Accompanied by a somewhat cold and arrogant question, Xia Yue had already walked beside Su Yuan and Huang Xiang, looking at them with a trace of disdain and annoyance.
New students in line around also looked over, eager to watch the scene.
"Um... sorry, sorry, I got excited!" Huang Xiang scratched his head and quickly said, "Xia Yue, I'm your fan!"
"Keep your mouth in check!" Xia Yue snorted coldly before walking away.
Huang Xiang scratched his head, turning to Su Yuan, "I was too loud just now. Sorry for getting you involved."
"Not your fault," Su Yuan shook his head noncommittally, "It seems this young lady has a bad temper."
Talking about others behind their back is indeed not polite.
But Huang Xiang was just introducing Xia Yue to Su Yuan and had no intention of badmouthing her.
Compared to Xia Yue, Huang Xiang didn't come off as haughty at all.
Speaking of which, it's unclear whether by coincidence or not. Demon Capital Academy students all seemed to have "personalities," unlike the harmonious folks from Shuzhou College like Zhuang Xun and Fang Kun...
After a while, Su Yuan and Huang Xiang finally reached the front of the line.
The round-faced senior sister with glasses was responsible for registration. Huang Xiang handed over his admission letter.
Taking Huang Xiang's letter, the senior sister operated on the computer and then suddenly froze before handing back his student ID and saying in a low voice, "South Third Garden, Room 7-405."
"Okay, thank you, senior sister!"
Huang Xiang smiled, thanking her for both registering him and being discreet with the information.
Even though she lowered her voice, some nearby still heard.
"Building 7? Isn't that the last boys' dormitory?"
"It seems so. Buildings 8, 9, and 10 are vacant, and building 11 is the girls' dormitory. South Third Garden has six floors on each building and six rooms on each floor. Room 7-405 should be one of the bottom ones, right?"
"Guys, I checked before coming—room 7-405 is the last boys' dormitory this year."
"Isn't this guy the last in ranking then?"
"Seems so!"
...
Though not malicious, their chatter was a bit harsh.
Huang Xiang seemed used to it over the years of being last.
In his first high school year, he narrowly met the physical requirements, qualifying for Star Apprentice Class.
Since then, he was always at the bottom.
But three years later, he made it to Demon Capital Academy, still at the bottom.
Huang Xiang believed that just like in high school, being at the bottom was just the start!
With hard work, persistence, and some luck, he believed he would eventually catch up among the 2000 freshmen at Demon Capital Academy!
Huang Xiang took the student ID and moved aside, saying to Su Yuan, "I'll wait for you."
Su Yuan nodded, observing Huang Xiang.
Only on mentality alone, Huang Xiang was far better than Xia Yue.
Su Yuan handed his admission letter. The round-faced senior sister quickly operated on the computer but soon showed a bit of surprise.
Handing back his student ID, the senior sister said, "Southern First Garden, Room 4."

"Thank you." Su Yuan nodded and took it.
Southern First Garden Room 4, even ahead of Xia Yue's number, stirring surprise and discussion among the surrounding students, including the astonished Huang Xiang.
As a forum junkie, Huang Xiang suddenly remembered: "I knew your name sounded familiar! You're Su Yuan, one of the special admissions! I saw your information online!"
Su Yuan left the queue, "Let's head to the dorm."
Huang Xiang paused, "You're a special admission, joining me, the last rank?"
"Of course, didn't I say we'd go together?" Su Yuan laughed, patting his shoulder, "What's wrong with last rank? You're my first friend in this academy."@@novelbin@@
Huang Xiang laughed, "Honored, let's go then!"
What do you think?
