SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 44

Chapter 44: The Girl with the Long Sword, Jiang Churan

TL: YYang

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to report to Suhang University.”

Su Mei walked ahead, and Zhou Yi quickly followed.

As he walked, he felt a sense of novelty and looked around.

Ferocious magical beasts, mechanical creations, rock guardians…

These rare sights, which he might not see in Lijiang City for a year or two, were everywhere here.

Additionally, Zhou Yi noticed some girls with cat ears and tails, indicating they had beast kin bloodlines.

If the otaku from his past life were here, they would surely exclaim that their dreams had come true.

“Many students in the university town carry some foreign bloodlines. Even some of our teachers at the university have special bloodlines. So when you see them, try not to show any unusual expressions,” Su Mei advised.

She was aware of Zhou Yi’s background; his father had died during a beast tide.

She worried that Zhou Yi might harbor biases against humans with foreign bloodlines because of this.

“Don’t worry, I’m not that narrow-minded. Even if they are entirely foreign, as long as they stand on the side of humanity, I won’t harbor any hostility,” Zhou Yi replied with a slight smile.

The beast kin and demon kin were indeed the main culprits of humanity’s invasions.

But there were also many beast kin and demon kin who had allied with humanity.

He wouldn’t hold a grudge against the entire beast kin and demon kin just because of his father’s death.

Continuing to observe his surroundings, Zhou Yi used his appraisal technique.

Along the way, there were many individuals who had not concealed their level and profession information.

[Level: 21]

[Profession: Sharpshooter]

…..

[Level: 22]

[Profession: Knight]

…..

[Level: 24]

[Profession: Swordsman]

…..

What shocked Zhou Yi was that everyone he appraised had a level of at least 20!

There were even a few individuals at levels 25 and 26!

“Generally, those who don’t choose to conceal their level information have decent strength.”

Seemingly noticing Zhou Yi’s astonishment, Su Mei smiled and explained.

“However, the average level of graduates from Suhang University is around 27 or 28.”

“The other nearby universities may be slightly lower, but their graduates also average around 21 or 22.”

“As for someone like you, the provincial top scorer, when you graduate in four years, you’ll be at least level 40.”

“Of course, this doesn’t mean you can just sit back and reach level 40; you have to put in the effort as well.”

“Alright, we’ve arrived.”

As her melodious voice rang out, Su Mei stopped.

Zhou Yi instinctively looked ahead.

He saw a large gate nearly 100 meters wide and about 10 meters tall a hundred meters away.

Above the gate, four large characters were intricately carved—Suhang University!

Unlike ordinary fonts, these characters were entirely glossy black.

Just looking at them, one could feel a heavy sense of history.

Behind the gate, he could vaguely see clusters of tall buildings.

At this time, although it was still not yet 10 AM, many students were entering and exiting the gate.

While it wasn’t as exaggerated as what he had seen in the square earlier, there were still quite a few people riding magical beasts or traveling in mechanical creations.

“The special admissions meeting will start tomorrow; the school leaders will announce how the colleges will be allocated and the training arrangements for you special admissions students during this time.”

“By the way, let me tell you in advance that cash doesn’t hold much value at Suhang University; everything operates on credits.”

“As long as you have enough credits, you can buy anything you want, S-Rank skills, S-Rank resources…”

“There are many ways to earn credits; aside from achieving high ranks on the local and national leaderboards, completing school tasks will also grant you corresponding credits.”

“Moreover, this year’s freshmen at Suhang University are said to be the most luxurious in history, with several provincial top scorers coming in.”

“Of course, aside from the provincial top scorers, the other students should not be underestimated; after all, the college entrance examination doesn’t fully showcase a student’s strength.”

“So, once you enroll, remember not to be arrogant and never offend others.”

Since she was the one who had brought him in, Su Mei couldn’t help but say a few more words.

“Understood,” Zhou Yi nodded seriously to show he understood.

“Alright, this is about where I leave you.

You’ll find the new student registration area inside, and the staff there will help you with accommodation and other matters.

I have things to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”

As a level 42 professional, Su Mei naturally had her own responsibilities.

Since she had safely escorted Zhou Yi to Suhang University, her task could be considered complete.

She took out her staff, and with a surge of wind,

she soared into the air, quickly disappearing into the sky.

“Tsk, high-level mages are impressive; with a single flight spell, they can come and go as they please.

I wonder when I, as a Saint Knight, will be able to master flying skills.”

The flight spell was a flying ability that second-transfer mages could master.

At lower levels, it could only achieve low-altitude gliding, but once upgraded to a higher level, one could fly freely, which was extremely convenient.

After reflecting on this, Zhou Yi was about to drag his suitcase inside when suddenly a melodious voice rang out from behind him:

“Excuse me, are you a new student at Suhang University?”

As a level 13 practitioner with an average four-dimensional attribute of 89 points, Zhou Yi had sensed someone behind him earlier.

However, he didn’t pay much attention, as there were plenty of people at the entrance of Suhang University at the moment.

Turning his head, he saw a young girl standing to his left and slightly behind him, looking to be around his age.

She wore simple light blue jeans and a white short-sleeve shirt, with her long black hair tied up high with a red ribbon.

Although her outfit was simple, it couldn’t hide her impressive figure.

Her legs were long and shapely, her chest was full, and her waist-to-hip ratio was perfectly proportioned.

In addition to her striking figure, the girl’s appearance was also quite lovely.

With bright eyes and white teeth, her skin was as smooth as snow, and her thin lips, though unadorned with lipstick, were still rosy.

However, what caught Zhou Yi’s attention was not her figure or looks, but the long sword she carried on her back.

The deep-colored hilt was visible, and although the blade was sheathed, it exuded a chilling aura.

This created a strong sense of incongruity for Zhou Yi.

A modern beautiful girl in casual attire resembled a legendary sword immortal, carrying a sword over a meter long on her back.

Fortunately, after experiencing so much stimulation on his way here, Zhou Yi quickly regained his composure and nodded:

“Yeah.”

“That’s great! I was worried I wouldn’t find anyone to go with me.”

“Hello, I’m Jiang Churan, and like you, I’m also a new student. Nice to meet you.”

Jiang Churan confidently extended her right hand.

It was clear that this girl had a lively and youthful personality.

“Zhou Yi.”

Seeing this, Zhou Yi politely shook her hand.
