22: Chapter 22 Class Assignments Complete! The gentle and kind Ms. Mulan~

From the moment the four of them walked out of the dormitory building, they became the focus of the entire freshman area of Shrek Academy.

A handsome and steady young man was followed by three young women, each with a distinct style, yet all breathtakingly beautiful.

The proud and dashing Wang Qiuer, the aloof and ethereal Gu Yuena, and that cute and clingy Sister Tianmeng.

With this group walking down the road, the head-turning rate wasn't just one hundred percent, but two hundred percent, because everyone had to look back twice to confirm they weren't seeing things.

"That blonde one looks so fierce, and that silver-haired one... I don't even dare look at her!"

"My god, what is his background? On the first day of school, he... he's already with three beauties?!"

"More than three! Didn't you see that newcomer with ice-blue hair? She's practically hanging off him!"

"A winner in life... this is the ultimate dream of us male students!"

Although the surrounding whispers were soft, they drifted into Huo Yuhao's ears without missing a word.

He could clearly feel countless gazes mixed with envy, jealousy, gossip, and awe focused on him.

This misunderstanding was so deep that even if he jumped into the Milky Way, he couldn't wash it clean.

Huo Yuhao muttered in his heart. Just destroy everything, hurry up.

He quickened his pace, just wanting to finish breakfast, see the class assignment results on the bulletin board, and then find a quiet place to be alone.

However, while he wanted to hurry, his two "roommates" by his side didn't think so.

In the cafeteria, when Huo Yuhao took his tray and found a corner to sit in, Gu Yuena and Sister Tianmeng sat down beside him almost simultaneously, one on the left and one on the right, fitting perfectly.

Wang Qiuer sat opposite them, relaxed and composed, watching the scene with great interest.

"Yuhao, ah~" Sister Tianmeng picked up a steamed bun and smilingly offered it to Huo Yuhao's mouth.

Huo Yuhao, feeling helpless, could only open his mouth and eat it.

On the other side, Gu Yuena silently peeled a boiled egg from her own tray and placed it into Huo Yuhao's bowl. Then she raised her silver eyes to look at him quietly, the meaning in her gaze self-evident.

Huo Yuhao had to silently eat the egg as well.

Wang Qiuer, sitting opposite, scooped up a small spoonful of porridge and reached toward Huo Yuhao: "Yuhao, come on, open up~"

"Aww," Huo Yuhao said indistinctly. He opened his mouth to accept Qiuer's feeding...

The students at the surrounding tables all slowed down their eating, pricking up their ears, not daring to breathe loudly. This was too explosive!

Huo Yuhao drank his porridge silently, feeling like he wasn't eating breakfast, but undergoing torture.

After finally enduring until breakfast ended, the four of them headed to the bulletin board for freshman assignments.

It was already packed with people; freshmen were crowded together, nervously and expectantly searching for their names.

"Make way, make way!" "Ouch, you stepped on my foot!" "Class 1! I'm in Class 1! Great!" "Sob... I was assigned to Class 9, is that the worst class?"

Amidst the noisy crowd, the appearance of the four of them was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a boiling wok. The crowd automatically parted to the sides, clearing a path.

It was simply because the aura of this group was too strong.

Wang Qiuer walked in front, carrying the inherent pride and majesty of the Emperor Auspicious Beast; wherever her gaze fell, no one dared to meet her eyes.

And behind her, Gu Yuena, though expressionless, exuded a cold aura stemming from her Silver Dragon King bloodline that seemed to transcend all things, causing the surrounding air to drop several degrees.

One was domineering like fire, the other cold like ice.

When their gazes inadvertently met in the air, the surrounding students even had an illusion. It was as if two dormant primordial beasts were confronting each other; the invisible pressure made it difficult for them to breathe.

"They... they aren't going to fight, are they?" "Such a terrifying aura... are these really freshmen?" "The guy standing in the middle... he is truly a god-like man!"

Huo Yuhao seemed not to hear any of this; his gaze calmly swept across the bulletin board.

The Shrek Academy outer courtyard freshmen were divided into ten classes, with Class 1 being the strongest, and so on.

Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya were assigned to Class 1.

Immediately, his gaze moved downward. Class 2, Class 3, Class 4... Finally, on the list for Class 5, he saw his name.

"Huo Yuhao." And right next to his name, adjacent to it, was another name. "Gu Yuena."

Seeing this result, Huo Yuhao was not surprised.

"I see it." Gu Yuena's voice sounded beside him, still as cold and plain as ever, but Huo Yuhao could detect a hint of imperceptible joy. She was happy to be in the same class as him.

Huo Yuhao looked up at the other list at the very top: the inner courtyard recommendation list.

Sure enough, Wang Qiuer's name was prominently listed, with a note behind it: "Excellent assessment results, direct promotion to the inner courtyard."

"I'm going to report to the inner courtyard now." Wang Qiuer crossed her arms and looked at Huo Yuhao, "You must miss me~"

"I know." "Hmph, that's good."

Wang Qiuer straightened up, returning to her proud demeanor. She turned and walked two steps, then seemed to remember something. She turned back and winked at Huo Yuhao, a mischievous smile curling the corners of her mouth, "Don't live too comfortably in the outer courtyard; I will come back to find you."

After saying this, she turned gracefully and walked toward the direction of the inner courtyard, amidst the awe-struck gazes of the freshmen.

With Wang Qiuer's departure, that scorching and domineering pressure instantly vanished, and the surrounding air became much more fluid.

Huo Yuhao watched her back and smiled slightly. In this life, she would no longer be the lonely Emperor Auspicious Beast, nor a tragic victim of fate. She would have a complete life of her own.

"Let's go." Huo Yuhao said to Gu Yuena beside him.

The two passed through the crowd and, following the instructions on the bulletin board, found the classroom for Class 5.

There were already a dozen or so people scattered in the classroom, everyone eyeing each other, the atmosphere somewhat reserved.

When Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena walked into the classroom, everyone's gaze was instantly drawn to them. The man was handsome and steady, and the woman was cold and peerlessly beautiful.

Especially Gu Yuena; her beautiful face with silver hair and silver eyes, combined with her ethereal temperament, left several noble children in the classroom, who considered themselves well-traveled, dumbfounded.

The two ignored everyone's gazes and walked straight to the empty seats in the back row of the classroom to sit down.

Soon, a female teacher who looked to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a gentle appearance, walked into the classroom. She was wearing a light green dress, and her face carried a warm smile that made people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze.

"Hello students, I am your homeroom teacher, my name is Teacher Mujin."

The female teacher's voice was as gentle as she was, "Welcome everyone to Shrek Academy, and to our Class 5."

"There are sixteen students in our class. I know that after the class assignment results came out, some students might feel a little disappointed, thinking that Class 5 is not the best class."

Teacher Mujin's gaze swept over every student; her eyes were sincere and warm.

"But I want to tell everyone that Shrek never defines a student's future by the class they are assigned to upon entry. Although our Class 5's overall strength is not the strongest, I believe everyone has their own shining points."

"One month from now, it will be the entrance assessment for all freshmen, and that is the stage where you will truly showcase yourselves. Let us work hard together and prove ourselves to everyone!"

Her words were full of encouragement and strength, making the initially somewhat low atmosphere in the classroom immediately much more lively.

Huo Yuhao listened quietly, a sense of goodwill toward this Teacher Mujin arising in his heart. She was a kind and responsible teacher.

While Teacher Mujin was introducing the class situation, Huo Yuhao's gaze swept across the entire class, seemingly inadvertently.

The Soul Power levels of these students were generally between level twenty and thirty, which was already considered genius among their peers, but in a place like Shrek where monsters gathered, it was certainly not top-tier.

Suddenly, his gaze stopped in the corner of the classroom. A boy was sitting there, wearing old clothes, with a thin build and dark skin, sitting silently in the corner, appearing incompatible with the surrounding environment.

Across his knees lay a long, strip-like object wrapped in cloth; judging by the outline, it should be a sword.

He seemed to sense Huo Yuhao's gaze and looked up; their eyes met in the air.

What kind of eyes were those? Resolute, calm, with a hint of vicissitudes inconsistent with his age, as if hiding many stories.

After Teacher Mujin's introduction finished, it was time for self-introductions among the students and free time.

Huo Yuhao did not hesitate; he stood up directly and, amidst the surprised gazes of the crowd, walked toward the boy in the corner.

Gu Yuena said nothing, but also stood up and followed him, not leaving his side.

"Hello, my name is Huo Yuhao." Huo Yuhao walked up to the boy, took the initiative to reach out his hand, and wore a gentle smile on his face, "This is Gu Yuena. From now on, we are teammates; please take care of us."

The boy was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't expected anyone to take the initiative to talk to him, especially the most eye-catching person in the class.

He looked at Huo Yuhao's sincere eyes, was silent for a few seconds, and then reached out to shake his hand. His palms were full of thick calluses, and his grip was firm.

He looked up, his gaze resolute as he looked at Huo Yuhao: "My name is Wang Xiaoli, Spirit 'Zanpakuto', level twenty-eight attack system Battle Spirit Master."

His voice was a bit hoarse, but every word was clear. "I hope I won't hold you back."

Zanpakuto? Huo Yuhao's eyebrows raised slightly; the name of this Spirit was interesting.

He could feel that this boy named Wang Xiaoli contained an extremely sharp and pure power within him. He was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

"You won't." Huo Yuhao smiled, "We are the ones who need your guidance, please take care of us."

The simple conversation ended, and Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena returned to their seats. But in the classroom, many people's gazes toward Wang Xiaoli had already changed.

To be actively befriended by a figure like Huo Yuhao, could this inconspicuous boy be some kind of hidden expert?

Huo Yuhao ignored the surrounding gazes; he leaned back in his chair, his gaze cast out the window, looking deep into Shrek Academy, toward the direction that belonged to the inner courtyard.

Wang Qiuer went to the inner courtyard. Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya were in Class 1. The fate to be changed, the karma to be resolved, were all stepping onto the right track step by step.

Then... Huo Yuhao's eyes became deep and distant, and a figure quietly emerged in his mind. It was a girl wearing a powder-blue dress, with soft, beautiful blue long hair, and a breathtakingly beautiful face.

Wang Donger... you should also be at Shrek, right?
